Atlanta May Win Fight Against Punk Schedule
Barons, Vols and Billies VIII Stand by Locals
BY Percy II. Whiting.
+s..,

TIME frame-up schedule may be
beaten. The thing that rep
resentatives of the Memphis,
New Orleans. Mobile and Chatta-
nooga teams cooked up in Chatta-
nooga the other day is in a bad
way. And the clever scheme of
Messrs. Coleman. Frank, COLLISION
and Andrews to foist off on the
other tiles of the league a sched-
ule that was loaded Ike a set of
crooked dice seems likely to be de-
feated.
Three clubs are lined up against
the schedule today. They are At
lanta, Birmingham and Nashville.
II Montgomery can be won over the
doped schedule can be held up, il
necessary. till every man on the
schedule committee has gray whis-
kers eleven feet long.
THIS schedule committee scheme
OF the Southern league is sweet
politics. In the old days three men
were named to get schedule. but
Judge Kavanaugh, with the aid of
Mike Finn, usually doped it out and
It was fair, whatever its other
faults may have been.
Lately the three men on the sched-
ule committee have been getting
wise and trying to pick some Of the
plums for themselves.
This year the ultimate limit was
reached. Judge Kavanaugh did not
even attend the meeting. In his
place he sent President Coleman. of
the Memphis club
Then arose the fine situation of
four club presidents arranging a
schedule which was calculated TO
give their teams all the best of II
and the other four all the worst
OF it,
Theoretically, of course. these
four club owners lack one vote Of
the number necessary To adopt the
schedule and therefore it's all above
board. But consider, please, that

schedule because of many things,
but for one thing because it calls
for one early trip that will be three
weeks in length and that will take
the club to every city in the circuit.
This is hard on the team and hard
on attendance.
Atlanta's kick on the schedule is
well known.
If Montgomery can be jollied into
line, then the game of Messrs. Cole
man, COLLISION. Frank and Andrews
can be blocked.
NJ EXT season this farce Of a sched-
ule committee should be done
away with--especially if il is to
serve as means of loading the
schedule. The idea of letting four
league presidents draw a schedule
Tor eight clubs is fine joke. Either
an impartial man should be hired
to devise tirst-class schedule or
else the entire league should he
constituted schedule committee
and eight schedules should be pre-
pared one by each club member
and submitted to the schedule
meeting.

Training for Prep and College Baseball Players
No. 1---Coach Heisrnan on Throwing and Bunting

ford you much consolation, you'll
find. When l caution chaps about
throwing too hard at this time of
the year they often tell me they
never had anything the matter with
their arm in their life-as though
that was any indication that they
were superhuman and would never
have anything the matter with
them if they kept up the pace!
l make it rule to warn them on
this point about a dozen times, and
very emphatically each time, even
before single ball has been thrown
by any of them-sometimes away
along in December, in fact. | have
found that it pays to head them
off from the foolish SNOWFALL throw
ing business before the snow ever
flies, if you can possibly get to
them.
In spite of all my pains and eau
ton, though, l always find some in
February and March who come
around asking what's good for a
sore arm. They were the ones who
wouldn't believe that an ounce of
prevention was worth ten pounds
of cure. Take it from one who has
been all along there for quarter of
a century and who caught a per-
manent glass arm himself through
bull headedness, and DON'T
THROW HARD for weeks after
starting
I UNLESS controlled and overruled
by those who know better,
most youngsters will tackle the
batting proposition about the same
way they go at their throwing.
They are eager to see how much
farther and harder they can hit the
ball than they did the summer be-
fore, and they are keen to show
what sluggers they are. 1t is the
impattence of youth; "slow and
sure" never seems to enter their
heads.
Now, the very best way to "poI-
tsh up your lamps" and get your
eye on a ball again is to start in
with bunting. Do nothing but bunt
and for awhile bunt at everything
high or low, out or in; see IL you
can follow the course of the ball
with eye and bat, with hand and
foot. Let your pitcher throw them
easily at first and then a little
harder with each succeeding day.
After you can block them, no mat
ter where he throws them, see if
you can place them. Don't ever let
them go back to pitcher, and don't
let them pop UP in the air.
That kind of bunt is not only a
fzzle and failure, but it's worse
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1913-02-14

than none at all, for it leaves you
and your team in a worse position
than it was before, Make them 60
down to the ground at once and
every time, kill them dead"
When they are close to you pull
them down and back to your near
hand, and when they are high or
wide try to ''cross them over
those are the things easiest to do
when they come at you that way.
Be sure to slide your upper hand
well up beyond the middle of the
bat. and then you will not only have
muscular control of the entire bat
for all it's weight and length, but
you will avoid thereby the tendency
to swat the ball with a swing in
stead of merely blocking 1t with a
wrist and elbow action.
These are not all the points thai
are connected with successful bunt-
ing, but they are enough to start
you off, and you will do well to put
them in practice. 1t amazes me
sometimes to see how many new
players come out for the varsity.
who seem quite proficient in most
other departments of the game, but
who seem quite unable to negotiate
a bunt.
Some of them probably do not
understand the scientific value OF
the bunt and have not persisted in
their attempts to acquire it. Let
me assure you it will be very neces-
saly for all candidates for varsity
honors in these days of fast college
ball playing to be able to deliver
the bunt goods when they are
called upon. Anybody can learn il
and learn it quickly, too; but it will
take a couple of weeks of stiff per
severance.
I rs Il good plan to be in motion
forward toward pitcher and to-
ward first, at the instant of bunt-
ing; then the bunt will be more apt
to stay on fair ground. and at the
same time you will have the flying
start that you will need to beat 1t
out. But when you are bunting in
order to advance a runner already
on, make sure that YOU do advance
him-by making a fair bunt-
whether you get fast enough start
to reach first safely or not.
Bring the bat smoothly down a
little ON TOP of the ball and it will
have to go to the ground; ticking
the ball on its under surface is what
usually makes it go foul.
NEXT week | will write of the
swing in batting and other
matters.

the opposition to the schedule is
naturally not organized and that it
would be a complicated matter for
the four clubs that are getting the
worst of 1t to agree on schedule
that would suit them better than
the one prepared by the committee.
In nine cases out of ten the loaded
schedule would go through, even if
it did rob some OF the clubs out of
hundreds and even thousands of
dollars that must go for unneces-
sary and unfair railroad mileage.
But this may be the tenth case.
THE Birmingham club has decid-
ed to fight the schedule. And
Bob Baugh, president of the club,
raises nice point. Says he:
we directed the schedule com
mittee to prepare a schedule pro-
Viding for an opening on April II
They did not do this, but instead
prepared one for an opening on
April 10. This would mean that
the league would open too early and
close too early"

BATTLE MAY De
CLOSED TODAY
By Ed. Curley.

wv LINN, FSp' w me
v Mccartney, the active man
ager of Luther McCar-
ty, honored this burg with a
visit yesterday to confer with Pro-
moter Billy Gibson about ten
round battle between Luther and
Bombardier Wells, the English
champion. The two Willies met in
the Garden, but only conferred.
Mccartney made only a few mod
est demands for McCarty's share Of
the purse. A clear title to the
Garden, he said off-hand, would
just about suit him and Luther.
Gibson, not having other than
fatherly interest in the edifice, was
forced to refuse the request. Well,
they chatted three hours and TWEEN
ty-seven minutes and then sudden
ly remembered that it was dinner
time. SO the talk fest was adj
journed until some time today,
when negotiations will be resumed.
Outside of matching Gibson ex-
pOstulating with Mccartney. a real
pleasant time was had watching a
little cinnamon bear named Teddy.
Teddy kept walking around as far
rs his chain would let him. 1t was
real joyful to pat Teddy, espe-
cially when a stranger lowered
near, and tell him (Teddy) what a
nice bear he was This we did for
three hours and twenty seven min
utes, and must say twas rather a
brave task.
Joimes Maloney, who discovered
the Bombardier in India and talked
the latter into blowing his red coat
and becoming a battler, was also
present. Joimes also petted the
bear. Joimes is anxious to let the
Bombardier meet McCarty, and
couldn't understand why Mccartney
was so careless with the fieeting
hours.
Il sye. / cawn't understand is
dilatoriness," Joimes murmured
eighty seven times; and then he
evaporated.
We distinctly refuse to print
what Billy Gibson said, and Glib
son has a reputation that must be
sustained. So there we will act
as the sustainee.
The most absorbing part of the
afternoon was when Mccartney told
about a big bettor who cleaned UP
$500 on McCarty's victory over
Palzer. The day after the battle
the bettor called upon Mccartney
and inquired for McCarty. The lat
ter was absent.
That's too bad remarked the
winner, for intended to give him
two corner lots in the best part of
suburban town"
Billy invited the donor to dinner
and treated him royalty. All the
time the lots were the main topic
of CAB. McCarty, not showing up,
the giver started to leave
Too bad he's away" lie chortled,
for | wanted to give him those
two lots for $1,000, which was a

Mccartney only hit him once, but,
Billy adds, ii was right on the chin.
YOU'VE got to slip it to sheriff
Hamburger for doing the right
thing at the right time. When he
appointed three deputies last week
it was mentioned that Mike" Dom
ovan was among the trio honored.
The Mike" appointed was James,
instructor of the City A. c., who is
also called Mike by those who don't
know his first name.
The real Mike wrote a note to the
sheriff thanking him for the lob.
and remarked he would love TO get
the button that goes with the posi-
ton.
To show what big man the lit
tie sheriff is, he answered Mike
telling him Of the error. but inclos-
ing an appointment at the same
time. That's the kind Of sheriff
we have.

ing with the tariff the method by

to the excitements and responsible
ties of greater freedom our methods
may in some respects and at some
points seem heroic, but remedies

1t is our business to make sure that
they are genuine remedies. Our OBJ
ject is clear. II our motive is above
just challenge and only an occa-
sional error of judgment is charg-
cable against us, we shall be for

We were called upon to render
the country a great service In more
matters than one. Our responsibility
should be met and our methods
should be thorough, as thorough as
moderate and we'll considered, based
upon the facts as they are, and not
worked out as II we were beginners.
We are to deal with the facts Of our
own day, with the facts of no other,
and to make laws which square with
those facts. 1t is best, indeed 1t is
necessary, to begin with the tariff.

take the liberty of calling your at

press close upon the heels Of the
tariff changes, II not accompany
them, of which the chief is the re-
form Of our banking and currency
laws; but Just now refrain. For
the present, l put these matters on
one side and think only of this one
thing-of the changes in our fiscal
system which may best ssrve to
open once more the free channels OF
prosperity to a great people whom
we would serve to the utmost and

Who Breaks Customs century OIu'
in the face or knows anything that
lies beneath the surface Of action
can fail to perceive the principles
upon which recent tariff legislation
has been based. We long ago pass
ed beyond the modest notion OF pro
tecting" the industries of the coun-
try and moved boldly forward to
the idea that they we're entitled to
the direct patronage Of the govern
ment. For a long time-a time so
long that the men now active In
public policy hardly remember the
conditions that preceded tive have
sought in our tariff schedules to
give each group of manufacturers
or producers what they themselves
thought that they needed in order
to maintain a practically exclusive
market as against the rest OF the
world. Consciously or unconscious
ly, we have built up set of privil-
eyes and exemptions from competi-
ton behind which 1t was easy by any,
even the crudest, forms OF combina-
ton to organize monopoly; until at
last nothing is normal, nothing Is
obliged to stand the tests of eff
cheney and economy, in our world
of big business, but everything
thrives by concerted arrangement.
Only new principles of action will
save us from a final hard crystalli-
cation of monopoly and complete
loss of the influences that quicken
enterprise and keep Independent
energy alive.
1t is plain what those principles
must be. We must abolish every
thing that bears even the semblance
of privilege or of any kind of arti-
ficial advantage, and put our bust
ness men and producers under the
stimulation of a constant necessity
to be efficient. economical, and en-
! terprising, masters of competitive
supremacy, betters workers and
merchants than any in the world.
Aside from the duties laid upon
articles which we do not, and prob
ably cannot, produce, therefore, and
the duties laid upon luxuries and
merely for the sake of the revenues
they yield, the object of the tariff
duties henceforth laid must be eff
fective competition, the whetting OF
American wits by contest with the
wits of the rest of the world.
/ 1t would be unwise to move to-
ward this end headlong, with reck'
less haste, or with strokes that cut
; at the very roots Of what has growr
up amongst us by long process anu
