Bill Smith Returns;
Picks WelchOnce as
l9l4CaptainofT

Billy Smith, manager Of the pen
nant winning Crackers. is back with
us again. Smith arrived yesterday
and spent much of his time announc-
ing some of his plans for next season
The local manager stated that ne
mas picked Harry Welchonce, the
leading outfelder of the Southern
League, as the 1914 captain. Harry
IS to replace Whitley Alperman. VINO
mas quit the game. The Georgian
predicted Thursday that Welchonce
would be Billy Smiths choice.
Ambrose Mcconnell, former Amerl-
can League star, will probably be on
second base for the Crackers next
season. Mcconnell played with To-
ronto last season, but Smith thinks
ne can get Mcconnell to sign with the
locals.
Smith has high praise for F1anna-
gan. the new outfielder, and Eibel, VINO
WIN try to fill Agler's place at mrs.
base. Both these players have gooo
records and Billy is looking for them
to star in this circuit next season

" Spratts coming back.
The clouting Billiken who
cavorted around the old third cushion
for the Vols during the latter part
Of the 1918 season just to give local
bugs little inside dope as to how
the old sack should be played, has
been secured for next season.
Jud Daley, the Vols lief. gardener
and a veteran on the local club, has
been traded for Spratt to Montgom-
cry. and next season will find the
third station occupied by the gent
with the nursery rhyme cognomen
which already settle1 that position as
far as Manager Schwartz can figure
just now
The local pilot can't figure just at
present where he could nick up bet
fer third sacker than Jack, and from
now on his attention is to be cen
tered in another direction; that Is, III
finding a left gardener 20 Jud Da-
iey's place. Jud WIS going the best
in his history when the season closed
and was hammering the ball all over
the lot.
Jack Spratt made good record
while a member Of the Vols. He
played in 5S games and in POI times
up he got 40 safeties, nile Of which
were two -baggers, six three -baggers
and one was a home run. His bat
ting average was PA. He led the
third sackers of the Southern League
in fielding last aeason, with per-
centage of .9SS. being credited with
but two errors during the entire year.
Spratt as a rule was best in pinches,
being able to cut into the pellet when
the sacks were occupied. Nashville
fans are glad that he has been Sc
cured for next season.

| TOW comes the Maiden Stakes
v in the way of golf tourna-

mentS at East Lake.
This has nothing to do with the
estimable Mr.. Maiden, who presides
professionally over the golf desti-
MES of the Atlanta Athletic Club.
That is, Mr.. Maiden will have only
the next tourney as he has with the
other Journeys.
But George Adair has an idea that
there ought to be a measure Of
compensation coming to a lot of ear
nest and hard working golfers, who
toll regularly in every tournament,
only to be put out before the cup
stage Is reached.
az We been thinking for some time"
said Mr.. Adair, that there
ought to be a tournament restricted
to players who never have won a cup
in an A. A. G. golf tournament 1t
stands to reason that there are a lot
of those players. 1t also stands to
reason that without them. and their
patriotic zeal, the regular tourna-
ments would be impossible or would
be mere fizzles.
Now, there Is in the Atlanta Ath-
letic Club, as In every similar club,
a sort of cup corner When any
golf tournament starts at East Lake
the probable winners can be counted
on the fingers of one hand-or two
hands, at the outside. Usually it's one
Of five or six players of recognized
ability who wins the main cup.
80 I've been sort of planning a
maiden event to give the other fell
lows a chance"
HERE'S the idea.
L The tournament is to start
next Saturday, and only golf
won cup in an Atlanta Athletic Club
tournament
There will be no preliminary quail
certain golfers.
THE first sixteen entries received
by the golf committee in writing will
be made into the first flight" said
Mr.. Adair. The next sixteen will go
in the second fight, and If there are
sixteen more, there will be another
fight. All the flights will have the
same standing-that is, there will
be no championship fight. All the
trophies will be the same.
That will give two or three-may-
be four-golfers the assurance OF win
ming cups who never have enjoyed the
sensation before. And IL ought to
produce some fine and lively compe-
tition, because. with the cup winners
eliminated, the flights should be well
balanced in the extreme"
Tor the rest of the arrangements
L the following should be observed
by entrants in the Maiden Stakes"
Entries should be made in writing,

he was TO be subjected, then led,

with spirit, apparently approaching
their welcome to the High school al
