DISSENSION RUMORS
Do Not Believe He Is on Outs

By SENATOR"

ATLANTA, Ga, March 1.-THE ap-
pearance Of Ty Cobb in this city and
the accompanying story printed in the
afternoon papers that he is on the outs
with the other members of the Detroit
team, has caused a fever of discussion
among the Nationals. Few believe the
truth of the story and many are loud
In their expressions of dissent.
There's been a lot Of talk like this
about Cobb says Kid Elberfeld, but
] don't think there's anything in it.
The boy is a great ball player. perhaps
the greatest in the game, and he knows
too much TO cause any such situation
in the club. When the season opens
you'll find everything harmonious in
the Detroit team, and this story from
fake"
That's a mere dream" SAYS "Wid"
Conroy, land it'll not hold water. When
he started Cobb was inclined to cause
trouble. Indeed, it was because of TVS
trouble between him and the other play
ers that he went out and showed them
that he was the greatest ball player
of them all. But for such story to
start before the opening of the season,
why, it's foolish, and I don't see how 1t
can be believed"

Officials, athletes, and spectators are
enthusiastic today over the success of
the National Guard indoor meet, which
came off in a smooth and commendable
manner at the Center Market armory
last night.
Hugh Golden, of the Georgetown
Props, is anticipating with much pleas
ure the wearing of a diamond ring
which he won by capturing three open
events for a total of fifteen points.
King. of the National Guard, is also
entitled to a "sparkler'' by virtue Of
his excellent work in the closed events
Golden ives best in the inter-scholastic
and 50-yard dashes, and in the 5O-yard
hurdles.
Kings Good Record.
King led the field in the 80 and 20-yard
dashes and landed second in the shot
put, which events were closed to mem
bers of the National Guard.
Stecker of the National Guard, won
the one-mile District championship and
the open half-mile, beating out Pete

fremont Athletic Club had an easy
time with the Washington Cross CoUn-
try Club in one of the feature relay
races. Company L had easy sailing
with the other National Guard relay
teams. Company Z also won the wall
scaling event.
One of the most interesting races on
the card was the relay between the
Urbanity and Twining clubs, won by
the former. The midget relay races also
proved popular with the big crowd.

0tto's Schemes.

Otto Jordan, the veteran manager of
the Atlanta club, of the Southern
League, likes the looks of some of the
rockies. He has already put in a, bid
for a couple of them, a Pitcher and an
outfielder. However, he is hardly like
ly to get them, for Jimmy McAlcer does
not intend to leave any young players
In Atlanta without being able to recall
them If needed some time during the
season. This Jordan does not want to
do, for the loss of couple of good men
In the middle of the season might throw
his team off their stride just when the
flag looked theirs. .-

Schaefer's Strike-Out.

During the batting practice the other
day Dolly Gray was burning them
across the platter in nidseason form,
when it came Schaefer's turn TO bat.
The first ball was a beauty, but the
Dutchman let it go. The next was low.
and Umpire McAleer called it a ball.
Then came two more bad ones before
another cut the heart of the plate. The
next came up temptingly, and Schaefer
swung with vim, only to meet the air

Simon Nicholls dying.

l am sincerely sorry to hear of the
sad plight of Simon Nichols, the Balti-
more Oriole, who is at deaths door.
Nichols learned his first baseball les
sons on the diamonds of this city,
when he was a member of the old Nor
ris Peters semi-pro team. He speedily
improved in his work until he was
picked up by Connie Mack and assigned
to the shortstop position on the Ath-
letics. After leaving Philadelphia, he
played sensational ball in Baltimore.
Nichols has only his rugged constitu-
tion to thank for being able to with
stand the ravages Of typhoid during
the past week. In the same hospital in
Baltimore is Mrs. Nichols, whose con-
dition, too, is most serious.

Victory for newspapers.

Ban Johnson, president of the Amer.
lean League, is correct when he gives
practically all credit to the newspapers
of the country for killing the hopes OF
the bookmakers who were soliciting bets
on the league race.
For a while, many writer's did not re.
alize the possibilities of damage to the
sport that might arise from the activity
of the commission company. but, once
they came to complete understanding
of the situation, there was a unanimous
condemnation of the proposed future
books.
As a result of the battle by the press
the bookmakers, who would break into
baseball, are, for a while at least, ST.
fenced and. put out of business.

Milan in limelight.

In reading the glowing accounts of
the excellent work of Clyde Milan, the
speedy National outfielder, 1t is interest

waivers were asked on this young
player.
The other clubs were several times
asked to allow Milan to go to the
minors, but the stand taken by the
Cleveland Maps forced Cantillon to keep
the player on the rolls here
Today Milan. as an outfielder, has few
peers in the whole realm of baseball.
