FITZPATRICK ONE
OF SOUTH'S GREAT
SENSATIONS
President of Southern A. A.
U.Has Many Rec0rds-TO
Visit Birmingham
in June
BY ASA RouNTREE. JR.

Without a doubt one of the best known
1thletes In the south today is Harry
w. Fitzpatrick, president of the Southern
Amateur Athletic union and premier
s''walker" of Dixie.
For over 1s years he has been an active
devotee of all branches of athletics and
has during this long period captured an
unusually large number of cups and
medals.
1t was In the early 9cs. under the colors
of the Southern Athletic club of New Or
Jeans that Fitzpatrick first entered ac-
Rive competition. And since then he has
been making records which the coming
generation will find hard to beat or even
equal.
Fitzpatrick competed with the South
ern Athletic club up until it was disor-
Ranized about six years ago. He is now
with the Moose Athletic association. The
South Athletic club was one of the most
famous organizations of it's kind ever
Formed south of the Mason and Dixon
1ine. This club always took an active part
3n the promoting of all forms of clean
Ihthletics and it was the regret of all
southern athletes that 1t broke up.
The high and broad jumps were former
ny the events which ne specialized In, but
saately he has taken up walking. In this
branch of athletics ne has shown his SUI
Fperiority over all other southern walkers.
BEvery southern record is held by him
es also are four world ones. His world
records are:
rs yards-l1 As seconds.
" mile-25 2-5 seconds.
l-6 mlle-56 As seconds.
1-5 mile-1 :06 4-5
His other southern records are:
220 yards-40 seconds.
Half mi1e-3.2S 3-5
Five miles-45 minutes Is seconds.
10000 metres-55:31 3d.
Fitzpatrick was first elected president
of the Southern Amateur Athletic union
In September, 1909, and has every year
since been elected to succeed himself.
The year 1910 was probably his most ac
tive year in athletics. During that year
he competed in four big meets. two of
which were ..all around" affairs. On
January 2s, 1910, In the Southern asso-
ciation indoor championship meet, held
at Washington Artillery hall. In New Or
leans he captured second in the running
high jump and third in the standing broad
jump. On April 9, In the individual all
round athletic championship meet held
at PeHcan park, at New orleans, ne cap
tured second place with a total of 707s
points to his credit. In May he entered
the May day meet hello In Birmingham
under the auspices of the Birmingham
Athletic club, but failed to get a place
In either of the three events in which he
entered.
He also entered In the all round cham
pionship meet of the American Amateur
Athletic union held in Chicago during
August, 1910, hut refused to compete on
account of a negro from the University
of Pennsylvania by the name of White
being a contestant.
Fitzpatrick will be seen in Birmingham
in the senior A A. Z. meet, which will lie
held on June I.

on base on balls, hit batsman. a sac

scored in the third on a base on balls, a

another in the sixth on base on balls,

defeated Tech, that institution will
scarcely have the effrontery to claim
the title itself. Georgia, despite its de-
feat at the hands of Tech may con-
tinue to claim the championship on
the ground that it defeated Alabama
Alabama's record, however, is better
than Georga's. Alabama has lost only
two S. /. A. A. games this season;
Georgia has lost five Alabama played
seven games on the road; Georgia only
three
When it is remembered that both of
Alabamas defeats were received on the
road 1t seems that Alabama's claim will
grow even more pretentious-in case it
trims Vanderbilt.

ALABAMA'S STRONG CLAIM
ON TITLE OF "CHAMPION''

Unless Vanderbilt, which has proved
exceedingly simple as baseball prop
osition, should do the unexpected and win
the series from the stalwart lads of
the University of Alabama for COM
mencement, Alabamas claim to the title
of southern champion will be an ex-
ceeding1y strong one and one which
will be carefully considered by all
judges.
The claim of Alabama Is based on
the fact that Georgia was beaten yes

JOHNSON NEXT STAR.
TO DEMAND HIGHER.
SALARY FOR WORK.
Swede's Contract Expires at
Conclusion of This Sea-
sOn-H0me Runs Beat
the Giants
BY WALTER MARCHAND.

New York, May 1S.-With the baseball
season now little over a month old
and with the first round nearly Completed
1t is as hard to pick the winners in the
National league as it was on the first
day. About the only thing that seems
certain in the older combination is that
Boston will not be a pennant contender.
Hardly one of the other seven clubs has
played according to the dope. Brooklyn
and st. Louis, who had been placed by
the experts as hopelessly in the second
division have shown surprising strength
and have shown that they are not to be
trifed with by any clubs. Philadelphia
seems to have found herself and is show
ing the strength as a team. she always
has had individually. Evers has gotten
the Cubs in fine shape and they have
been running well with the leaders. The
Giants and Pittsburg, picked by practical
ly every expert to get out in front and
stay there have been waiting away in
the rear up to this time.
However, the season is young yet and
the dopesters need not get their alibis
for a while yet.
In the American league, the teams with
true to form.
The ball they are playing right now, If
kept up will surely land Mack's men on
the pennant. If they slip and Washington
holds up, Griffith will forge ahead while
Cleveland is within Sticking distance.
It's great race In both leagues and
gives the prophets plenty of chance.
Veterans Hold Their Own
Extremes in age-baseball age-have
been prominent in the big league pitching
this season. prominent by effective work.
We find considerable number of vet
Grams going along with no apparent
diminution in skill and effectiveness,
among them Mathewson, Plank, Ames,
Rucker, Walsh, White, Falken-
burg, Sallee, Richie and Camnitz If any
of these men have gone back nothing
that has happened this year is a symptom
to that effect: and If any or all of these
men have passed the inevitable time at
which a pitcher begins to go the other
way the signs of that retrogression are
hard to discover and the retrogesson very
slow
Those superior artists, johnson and
Hoou' great as anybody IN the immediate
present. lack only length of service TO
make them great as Mathewson and
Plank or Walsh. Both, however, have
been at 1t long enough to be firmly fixed
among the pitching stars of baseball
But the king is dead; long like the king
The sos were In another century The
year 1913 A. d. not only finds veterans
going at their best, but has brought out
flashes of tiptOD work by yornPstars
Notable among these are Seaton, Keating
Demaree, Ferritt Mayer, Russell and
Johnson 0he Indian), all of whom have
pitched one or more games of conspicu-
Gus excellence. Also such pitchers s

About JohnsOn's Salary

The probable effect of the recent con
troversy between Ty Cobb and the De-
troit owners, over salary differences
upon the negotiations between Walter
johnson and the Washington club is a
matter of interest.
1t will be recalled that the last time
johnson signed with the Nationals it was
only accomplished after the twirling mar
vel had been ordered from the Atlanta
training camp to his home In Kansas,
where, in the calmer moments of his aft
erthought, he reconsidered his determine
ton to retire from the diamond unless
his demands were met. Johnson returned
to Washington. and, finally, after long
deliberation between the management and
the player, he bound himself by his sigma
ture to play with the Nationals for three
years. This document will be no longer
binding after next fall
Both the manager and loyal ones at
this time content themselves by saying
that there will be an understanding
reached without a hitch, and, for the
sake of Washington baseball, it is to be
hoped that their predictions come true
Those who have watched Johnson close
ly this spring are unreserved in their
declarations that the pitching marvel is
at the Threshold of the most successful
season since his advent into the realm
of major league baseball. If this should
prove true. johnson will unquestionabiy
ask that his salary be. increased at the
expiration of the present contract, but
how strong will be his demand is a mat
ter that is known only to the boxman.
The taciturn twiler never earned medals
ready for a while yet.
first intmation of Johnson's valuation of
his own worth probably will come in the
form of letter when his contract is
forwarded to him shortly after the begin
ming of the new year.
