SAYS HE
WILL FINE HIS MEN
FOR BONEHEAD plays

DETROIT, June 2S.-"In the future
when any of my players pull the
bone plays that have characterised
cur work for the past week or so It
is going TO cost them dearly" was
the announcement made by Manager
Griffith, of Washington. "A player is
not to be blamed for errors or failure
TO hit, but when he shows signs of
not thinking It is time to give him
something to think about, and that
is exactly what I propose to do.
we played the worst ball l have
ever seen during the games in Cleve-
land, primarily because we displayed
no judgment in our work and looked
like a team that was just starting in
TO play major league ball. There has
been entirely too much bOneheaded-
ness to be stood for, and from this
time fines are going TO be plastered
right and left whenever players over
look signals and do the wrong thing"
There isno doubt that the Nationals
in the games i'm Cleveland gave some
of the worst exhibitions ever pre-
sented by a major league ball team.
Just what has caused this sudden
change is beyond conception, and
there is not a chance for another vic
tory TO be added to the teams record
unless there is a great change in its
general work

the game he proved his value as a
prognosticator

lot Of games as soon as we get Steen,
O'Neill, Gregg and Chapman back in
the lineup"
He now has three of the four men
toned In the game and his prediction
has been realized. As soon as he got
back, Steen began to be a regular
winner. That was the first step. Ten
days later, Steve O'Neill returned, but
IL was not until within the last few
days that he demonstrated he had re-
gained his batting eye Then Chapman
resumed his position in the short field
and four straight games are the re-
suit.

THE MERCURY CLUB.

The poets sing and the scribes they
write,
OF their favorite baseball nine.
OF their catcher's whip and the balls
long flight,
And the race round the bags
against time.
Tho I'm not a poet or even a scribe.
I'm taking this chance TO tell,
How the Mercury Club play the game
of Ben Shibe,
And play It remarkably we'll.
They are led off by Kane. the short
stop OF all,
With his cry Of The old life, I'm
here"
And the crack Of the bat as it meets
the ball,
Makes the Rooters' Club stand up
and cheer.
Then up comes Brown, first base
man rare,
With a neat bunt that puzzles the
foe,
And another cheer rings out on the
air.
AS around the paths they so.
Next, Feeley, of third, who should
have a crown,
Comes across with a sacrifice blow,
To second and third go Kane and
Brown,
And the stage is set for the show.

The Mercury Club although only
few months old. can boast OF
strong organization. The baseball
team of the association is purely
amateur. This has proved no draw
hack, as the team has proven very
fast. Although playing on strange
ground every Saturday, the team has
won a majority of its games. Backed
BY the "ROoters' Club the team is
always encouraged to play its best
Many Of the boys will make a name
for themselves before the season is
over.
The social side Of the club offers
a variety of pleasure for those who
are not interested in baseball or other
sports. Nearly every week an out
ing is held and every one who takes
part in these affairs knows that they
are a success. On every Tuesday
night the club meets at No. 504 Mar
ket street, after the business and
baseball meetings are finished many
different amusements are afforded the
members. Music and dancing are in
dulged in every meeting night and
occasionally a surprise entertainment
il worked in. The club owes its
success to the hustling methods OF
it's members, as every member has
the interest of the club at heart, and
never misses an opportunity TO give
the club a boost The officers OF the
club are: Joseph p. Farmer, presi-
dent: Joseph Fryer, vice-president;
A. Byron Williams. secretary; VIII
liam NJ. MacAteer, treasurer.

Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1914-03-11

While the question What will Sla-
ton dor is now uppermost in the
minds Of many politicians in Geor-
gia nowadays, OF more immediate mo-
ment, perhaps, is What will the State
Democratic Committee do?"
As "a n tier Of fact, it will be more
or less difficult to get really straight
line on other things until that hon
orablc body has been assembled, and
has stated exactly what rules and re =
ulations shall prevail in the matter
OF determining, by primary elections,
Just how the various political plums
shall be distributed this year
Considering the case Of the two
proclaimed candidates for the uneX-
pred term Of Senator Bacon, for In
stance, and figuring on that matter, 1t
makes "A mighty difference whether
the State committee shall call q
straightaway county unit or plurality
primary.
Suppose a county unit primary
should be called, and tn race for the
short term in the Senate must De
fought out along that4lne Suppose,
further, that the candidates entered in
that race eventually should figure
down to Hardwick, Fielder and Sl4-
ton.
On the surface OF things. it would
look as If Slaton stood TO win that
highland yet!
II Fielder and Hardwick could mus
ter enough county unit votes between
them in the convention to block Sla-
ton, either one might combine with
the other in the convention and nomi-
nate an ati-Slaton man-either Fec
err, or Hardwick, or some dark
horse"
IN other words to throw the noml-
nation into the convention, with two
anti Slaton men holding, combined, a
majority vote of the convention, in
evitably would result in an anti S'a-
ton nomination, notwithstanding the
fact that Slaton might have far more
county unit votes than either one OF
his antagonists, standing alone.
Whether the co. -mittee, therefore,
calls a county unit or a plurality prl-
mary makes a very great deal Of diI-
ference, and may go a long way to-
ward determining the real character
of the factional fight, now seemingly
sure to arrive, from the question OF
whether Senator Smith shall have OPP
position on down or up the line, as
the case may be.
Presumably. the committee will
meet soon, but there is nothing sure
~ indicating when II will meet.
Until it does meet, however things
likely will be kept more or less at
sea-and necessarily so.
Colonel Jesse Perry, private secre-
tary to the Governor, has one friend
who likely will not get gay with the
Executive Department again--cer-
tainly not soon.
This friend had a way OF calling
Perry over the phone every now and
then, and invariably he asked the ex-
change operator for the biggest
crook in the Capitol" The exchange
operator long ago got wise to the
Joke, and when this friend Of Perry
called for said biggest crook in the
Capitol" he got Perry without more
ado.
Recently, however, he called thus
wise for Perry, and the Governor an
swered the phone.
"Helo!" said the Governor
