Sidney Smith May
Come to Crackers;
Wants to Play Here

Sid Smith, some peevish kid ana
one of the most useful backstops that
ever propped up a mask in the South
ern League, is eager to play ball with
the Crackers this year, and there Is
said to be a pretty fair chance that
Sid will do that very thing, thus re-
peating history in that good old year
of 1907, when Sidney was Bill Smiths
right bower-catcher first baseman
and shortstop, as occasion demanded,
and everlastingly picking that old pill
in the pinches.
Cidney came to town yesterday anu
wento ut to look over the bunch, Not
one Of them, except Bill Smith, was
familiar face to Sid, so far as the old
time Crackers were concerned.
But the park made Sid homeslck,
and Sid's present berth with Column
bus in the American Association is
not altogether to his liking. Besides.
Mrs Smiths home is in Atlanta, and
Sidney's heart always has been in the
South through ali lis career in the
big leagues and the A. A.
Sid is dickering just now with the
Pittsburg Feds, but he says eandidiy
he would like to play in Atlanta, if it
can be arranged.
There is a bunch that an effort viii
be made to arrange ii.

Rv Ed w. Smith.

r HAT chap who announced that
there was nothing new under
the sun didn't canvass the SPORT
ing field very thoroughly or he
would have revised his views.
There's something new in sport
all the time, and one of the, latest
and about the weirdest of all the
wheezes that have been sprung in
months comes out Of Charlottes-
vile, Va, where Clark Griffith has
his Senatorial baseball team IN
Spring practice. :,
GRIFFITH has directed that all
" Of his twirlers go through the
motions Of pitching before a mir
ror. the idea of this being to cor
rect the weaknesses and the i'm
perfections in the delivery of the
men. Griff conceived this idea a
long time back, but not until this
spring did he actually put 1t into
practice. He figures that the men,
by seeing for themselves exactly
how they look. will be able to
work off the rough edges"
IT'S hard to say whore Griffith
got this idea, but he might
have obtained 1t out of some old
boxing book. We bark back to
the years Of long ago when first
breaking into the sporting game.
Then we ran across an old Eng
fish book on the manly art OF
elf-defense," which perhaps was
the first time this liowery term
was ever used. This book was
full of quaint old English wood
cuts of the boxer. illustrating the
different blows and guards and
feints.
CTRANGEST of all in the book
- were a number of Illustrations
showing how man might box
with himself in a mirror and get
considerable education on the art
I'm this way, We never could un-
derstand how this could be, but
the book went into lengthy expla-
nations of it just the same. It
might have been from this source
that Griffith got his idea, or he
might have attained 1t from the
present system of shadow box
ing that almost every fighter Of
the day uses in his training cur
riculum.
