Crackers Have Infield Now
That VIII Set League Afire;;
Dobard Looks Like a Wonder

worth the price of admission just
for his running stream of talk, his
pep and his kidding; but on top
of that he's the best first baseman
the league has seen since Jake
Daubert departed to the retiring
shades of the Brooklyn club. So
he'll do.
DON'T you believe that this kid
- Osborn who is trying out for
first base. hasn't got lot of prom
ise. After Bill Smith ran his reg
ular infield off the field yesterday.
he installed Joe Agler as catcher and
started working out the yannigan
inf1eld And when he did, Osborn
stood the fans on their tiptoes
with his clever stuff. He and Agler
tried to show each other up, and
the speed they used in burning the
ball back and forth would have
made a creased lightning flash turn
pink with envy. Osborn has more
reach than Jim Fox ever possessed,
is good on ground balls, and throws
the pill around fit to kill his team
mates.
Osborn has a good bit to learn
about the position. and is especial
ly uncertain about the footwork
part of the job. And it's an aw-
full thing to get a couple of feet
like his tangled up together.
Osborn Is so promising that the
players take an interest in him
and give him all the advice they
can. Lee Garvin journeyed out to
first yesterday and coached Osborn
for a good half hour.
MOST Of the last lingering play
A'A ers rolled in yesterday Brady
and Dobard turned up in time for
practice. while Joe Dunn heaved in
sight just as the afternoon practice
was ending. Catcher McAllister,
who alleges he has been held up by
q missing ticket, has been provided
with transportation, and is already
beating 1t here. The elusive Bailey
turned up in good order this morn
ing. The only man missing and un-
accounted for is Ed Donnelly, the
human holdout. And nobody cares
much If he never reports.

By Percy III. Whiting.

TINE Atlanta club will have the
fastest inf1eld this season that
ever played at Ponce DeLeon.
This sounds like an idle vaporlng,
of course. But hammer nail in
1t. right at this point: If nobody
breaks a leg or springs a splint
or a bone spawn the Crackers will
show more infield speed than any
Southern league club in the mem
cry of mortal fan.
Don't take my word for task
any of the two or three hundred
fans who turned out yesterday aft
ernoon for the practice.
When Bill Smith trotted out his
regular infeld, he handed them the
time -honored adjuration, "a little
pep, now, boys. Let's show 'em
something.
Well, they did.
They let out a whoop that would
have sent the early settlers run
ming for the block house, and they
hit up a speed through the soggy
mud that was dazzling. They stop
ped the hottest efforts Of the pep
pery bat of Bill Smith, they threw
the ball around with mid-July
speed and accuracy, and they kept
up a running fire of yells and
whoops that would have made even
a funeral sound lively.
THE new man in the infield was
l. Leonard Dobard. He has turned
up in corking condition, after a
winter of play in New Orleans, and
seems set to win a regular posi-
ton. He must account, however,
for Walter Heating, as clever
fielder and as neat thrower as
ever the league saw. The competl-
ton for that shortstop position is
going to be the real fireworks this
spring.
Wally Smith continues to play
like regular at third, and looks
more like million dollars with
every day that passes. He gets be-
hind a ball beautifully, has fine. big,
useful hands, and can get the ball
away fast after he lands it.
OF course, Agler and Alperman
are as good as the best. Agler Is

Relations With Montenegro Becoming
 Exceedingly Strained.

London, March 21-The relations of Austria and Montenegro have be- come acute, even to the point of break ing, as result of the curt reply f King Nicholas of Montenegro to Aus tria's note concerning Scutari, in which he expresses regret for an injury done the civil population of Scutari, but re- fuses to concede FVtenna's demand that civilians be allowed to leave the be- sjeged city or to permit an Austrian official to participate in the inquiry into the alleged murder of the priest Palie, the forcible conversion of Cath olics and the interference with the Austrian steamer Skidra.
 Austria already has decided to senG Montenegro a more urgent note, which will really be a thinly yelled ultima sired effect to issue formal ultima tum which will be backed up by the Austrian fleet now off the coast of Albania.
 Russia, with which country Austrie. is reported to have reached 8 complete agreement, will, 1t is understood. urga Montenegro to show a more concilia- the Russian government in this direC tion were fruitless. and it is feared that King Nicholas, who believes his crown depends upon the capture of Scutari, will remain stubborn.
 Austria has notified the powers that her fleet has gone to the Albanian coast because of the position of the Catholics, of whom Austria is the pro tector, and has sent back to Cettinte her minister, Baron De Giesel, who will impress on Montenegro the deter imitation of Austria that Scutari shall remain Albanian and that Austria's other demands must be complied witt..

 Message to Her Daughter.
 From her room in the county jail Mrs. Eaton sent a cheerful message this morning to her daughter by her first marriage, Miss Dorothy Aims worth. The prisoner wrote:
 T want to tell you all not to worry about me. Don't cry and take on over it for it will all come out all right in a few days. Look after mother and don't allow her to become ex- cited, and be sure to take care of everything on the place."
 Wanted Work to Do.
 Mrs. Eaton had learned that her mother, Mrs. George Harrison, who is Ill at the Eaton home in NorweI was suffering intensely because of the shock of her daughters arrest.
 The widow herself appeared opti- mistic today and accustomed herself to the routine of jail life without complaint. All that she asked was to be allowed to do work or have some other exercise.
 T have always been a very active woman" she said, and cannot stand inactivity
 Wrote Letters to Friends.

 Little Left but Insurance.
 It is understood that the will of the admiral will not be offered for probate until the investigation of his death is cleared up.

The judge has said that he knows nothing of a later will reported to have been made about six months ago.

 IN VINEYARD SOUND
Freight Steamer Able to Keep AfIoat
 Others Identity Unknown.

Vineyard Haven. Mass, March 2f.- The passenger and freight steamer City of Macon of the Savannah line and vessel thought to be a Metro politan line freighter, collided tonight on Vineyard sound off Tarpaulin cove. The City of Macon was badly gashed. but able to keep af1oat. The damage to the other steamer is not known.

BELIEVED HIM INSANE.
Mrs. Eaton Indicated It in Letter to
 Chicago Lawyer.

Chicago, March 21.-Incidents bear ing upon the rela tions between Rear Admiral Eaton and his wife came to light here today in letter written by Mrs. Eaton March Is. 1911. to Mrs. Marshall E. Gallion, a local attorney. who acted for her in her divorce pro- ceedings against her first husband. Daniel Henry 4Ainsworth, in1906.
 The letter, written from Assinippi, Mass, referring to the admiral, says: The condition of this poor man is dreadful, he is so much worse. and l fear to stay here this winter. My while I was in Chicago made him wild. Ie I had a doubt of his insanity, which l never had. it would be removed quickly, as he is so much worse, and what am I to do?
 He is a sick, helpless and sad 0 man, and it goes to my heart. He re- lies on me entirely I am his eyes, brain and life. and still how can I stay poor little innocent Dorothy, and he will do it and then wonder where we are. He is the most dangerous, subtle maniac, and still I have no way Of eSca pc.
 Public opinion, his rank. his age and the navy are all against me. All doctors are too diplomatic and afraid to attempt to deal with him as he should be dealt with, and it will cost me hundreds of dollars to get evidence and take a. year at least to get in shape and then I probably will be outwitted by sentiment and pity.
 He is the most dangerous man you could meet any place.
 Please help me: What shall I do? What do you advise me as the most practical? After Friday I shall be here alone with him. Is it wise? He is so subtle and sly. Would you get a com mon, cheap woman. just to have some. enc with me? Of course, such & per son would not be able to detect his trouble; only a person drilled to brain trouble or familiar with insanity.
 'If he Is as dangerous as I believe, must protect my life. so find ort whether you can get me a woman who Is Sherlock Holmes in criminal insanity and of highest moral charac- ter and high standing with doctors and alienists, one whose word would go. If she said he was insane they would do the rest. Please See what you ean do for me and advise me-"
