 Joplin and Cargile Star

Atlanta, May 2.-(Special) )-Tech and Alabama broke even in doube header here this afternoon before a splendid at tendance of college fans, the Tuscaloosans winning the first game, to g. and the Jackets the second game, to 1.
 Of this six games the teams played this season. Tech won four and Alabama two But every game was closely contested and interesting from start to finish.
 Pitcher Hogue twirled both games for the Tusccaloosa collegians and deserved to win them both. He allowed seven hits in the first game and won In the sec ond he only allowed four, but he lost due to some horrible support. especially in the ninth inning, when two errors broke the tie and gave Tech the victory.
 Joplin and Cargyle played great ball for Alabama. It is doubtful if better baseball has ever been played in Atlanta by colegians than these two boys put up. They overshadowed every one on both sides, with the exception of their sterling twirler. They got two hits in each game.
 Tyler Montague, Johnson and Burr played the best ball for the Jackets, the latter's hitting keeping the Jackets in the running in both contests.
 Eubanks twirled nice ball for Tech in the second game and although the Tus- caloosans got nine hits off his delivery, they were scattered and he famed as many batters IS he allowed to hit safe

NEW OUTF|ELDER
 IS NOW IN TOWN  Stewart, Who Was Secured From Cubs, Reached
 Here Yesterday

True to his promise. Outfielder Stew art, who was purchased during the earlier part of the week from the Chi cago Cubs, reached the city late yes- terday afternoon ready to jump into Southern league activities feet first.
 Stewart was anxious to stay. over In the Windy City for several days more but President Baugh insisted that he come south immediately as he was badly needed and this he did. He ar rived in the city about 4:S0 o'clock over the Illinois Central and reported 10 President Baugh at baseball headquar- ters a little after 3.
 The new Baron was anxious to join the team in Montgomery but MT Baugh told him that even though he went down he could not possibly get in the game before the opening of the Pei fcan series here Monday.
 Stewart stated to the Baron presi- dent that he was in fine condition and was eager to get into harness. He has been kept on the bench for some time by Manager Hank O'Day of the Cubs and is now wanting to show what ho is capable of doing.
 Stewart states that he is thoroughly satisfied over playing with the local club and will do his very best to aid in pulling the club out of the rut.

ALL LOOKOUTS WANT IS AN EVEN BREAK
Even Break on Road Means Pennant for Lookouts,
 Claims Mccormick

Chattanooga, May 2.-(Special)-An even break on the road with Memphis, Atlanta, Birmingham, New Orleans Mobile and Montgomery, and a pennant will fly at Andrews Field This Is the firm and sincere belief not only of every individ- which is at present playing the opening engagement of its 24-days' road trip with the Turtles, but also of every fanatic in the shadow of Lookout mountain after the remaining clubs in the northern division
 From this angle it always has looked like the Lookouts had an edge on the entire field outside of pitchers, and the showing of the hurlers to date has in- stilled the belief that the local sharp shooting corps Is now in reality the equal of that of the Pelicans, who had been conceded locally the strongest staff in the circuit.
 With an even break on the present 24- days road trip 1t is truly believed that the Lookouts will be returned pennant winners, but this is not all. Local fanat- ies-and they are again supported in their judgment by McCormick's athletes believe further that the Lookouts will more than play even on the present ex- tended invasion.
 Atlanta and New Orleans alone are expected to hold the 'Noogans to even terms. In the other three towns which are to be visited it is believed here abouts~the local clan will grab the series.

PLAYERS DO WELL ON THEIR BIRTHDAY Major Leaguers Celebrate Birthdays in Befitting
 Manner

Frank J. Navin, owner of the Detroit Tigers has had the suggestion made to him that whenever any of his players is to have birthday the fact be an nounced in the papers in the city in which the Jenningsites are performing. The reason for this suggestion is that on July 4, 1912, the Detroit papers called attention to the fact that George Mullin would that day celebrate his S2d birthday Portly George, now with the Indianapolis Feds, proved some celebrator for he not only blanked the Browns in runs. but denied them hits too.
 On the morning of April IS last a De- troit paper carried story that Sam Crawford was celebrating his 34th birth day, it being pointed out in said story that "Wahoo Sam" on Ais birthday an ting heavily and that his average for the games he had played on April IS, from 1902 on, had been just .23l. Sam, noting this fact, proceeded to bat at .666 clip against the Maps, polling a single and homer and boosting his birthday batting average from .231 to .276.
 Lewis Does We'll
 Another American league outfielder who celebrated his birthday on the same date as Sam Crawford and in a beritting man. ner was George Edward Edward Lewis of the Red Sox. Duffy was 26 years old on April IS last and he glorified the occasion by delivering the wallop that placed on the records the only run scored in the Boston, Philadelphia game.
 An able athlete who generally sees to 1t that his birthday Is made day of gladness for his team is Christy Mathew son of the Giants. wno would win an auto each year if Hugn Chalmers award ed one to the major league pitcher pos sessed of the best control Matty's birth day is August 12 and inspection of the records shows that "B.- Six does not ask for a rest on his natal anniver- sary. but is willing to go in and work on that day unless it be sunday.
 Only once has the Old Master consorted with Dame Defeat on his birthday. The year this happened was 1912 and then Christy the Crafty acting in a relief capacity for a bombarded boxman, could not subdue the Cardinals and they pro- cured one run off him the winning one), after having gained seven counters off the man Matty had succeeded. Last year Matty pitched part of game on his birthday against the Superbas and held Afe a two-run lead bequeathed him by Arthur Fromme.
 On August 12. 1912, when Mathewson was celebrating his 32d birthday, he met with defeat as before told. On August 12, 1911, it was fortunat, for 'Bix Six'' that he was not asked to work, as the Giants failed to get a run off Out, Chalmers of the Phillies. Chrsty had an afternoon off on August 12, 1910. but on August 12 1909. he smut the Cubs out with four safeties and on August 1e. 1907. he conquered the Pirates and pitched the Giants into second place
 Matty will spend his 34th birthday in New York. The Cards then will be in Gotham and it will be interesting to see what they do to him or what he does to them
