Sporting Editor St. Louis Times. T. LOUIS, May 7.—Christy Math ewson, famous “Big Six’ mem ber of the New York Giants since 1900, who has pitched Muggsy McGraw to five National League pen nants, is going to succeed Miller Hug gins as manager of the Cardinals around June 15. This is the startling Information re ceived from one closely associated with Hugging and one who is in on the inside dealings of affairs at Rob ison IMeld. The reported trade for Mathewson will send Lee Magee and Ivey Wingo, the two Cardinals who made the journey around the world with Me- Graw's troupe, to the Gilants. - - A OF‘ course, there will be denials from headquarters. No doubt President Britton will declare there's no truth to such a report, but we have it from exceptionally good au thority that unless Huggins shows a rapid improvement in his manage ment he will be asked to step down and out, And so far this season Huggins has been a failure as manpager of the Car- | dinals. That is why the time limit has been stretched to June 15, and !'lt. tle Hug Is given until then to show something with the club he has or he pushed aside in favor of Mathewson. . - - Hl'G(}l.\'S‘ reign as manager has not been crowned with success, either A year ago he spurted at the beginning of the season; was In sec ond place the middle of May, but after August 1 he was hopelessly out of ‘.'.‘ and finished a wretched last. | Trouble arrived in the Cardinals’| camp. Big BEd Koney was accused of | doing too much talking, although Ed | always denied that he mixed it \\n!h! the players and opposed any of Hug- | gins' ideas, Still, Koney, Mowrey and | Harmon were shipped to the Pittsburg I Pirates last December for five plav €rs. Prestdent Britton has never inter fered with Huggins' mode of manage ment. He allowed Hug to swing the | deal with the Pittsburg Plirates, but put it up to Huggins that he had to make good this season Y oa THE 1714 team is not a tallender with a good manager. And that's I the hitch. Hugging is a smart, intel -ligent, shrewd and clever littla leader, but there's something wrong with the Cardinals of to-day Stories have come out to the effect that the plavers do not take to Hug gins' managing: that they actually have crossed him on many signals have refused to obey his laws, and the climax is sald to have come whea Dan Griner and lL.ee Magee had a fist fight at the Cards’ clubhouse before the team started on its present road journey In other words, the fault is thia Huggins can not manage playvers. Na ture is against him. The big huskies MONEY TO LOAN . 3 R i L : Ao NN f é’m“. e | O R 1 :,,'n..,gc B i L SN | i ‘_“_-:rf‘-,; 5 | i " { B ‘v.;",f i [ A | ) ity : Re 4 S PG ; W. M. LEWIS co £ ERS ‘::L:‘ > 8 <E Most st rivate loar e ty nave refused to listen to his com mands. And why? It's the baseball term, “A little fellow can't manage the big fellows” - . . IN the South this spring there wasn't a single athlete who showed any signs of bucking Huggins' {deas. Even Jack Miller came to the writer one day at St. Augustine with thig re mark: '‘Say, I'd rather work for Hug gins than Fred Clarke” Just the same, we have heard that Harry Sallee, Polly Perritt, lL.ee Ma gee and many other members of the Cardinals are said to have announced that thevd never hustie for iugrins And when such conditions arrive on a ba!l club, with playvers as the Car dinals own-—anything but tallenders there's but one answer Make a change with the managers, \We have trailed witn Huggins on his ability fo ’manng«-. we have believed In him above the players, especlally in the reports that he “calls” the pitch for every pitcher, We have praised Hugglns as a smart and inside player, but we have doubted Huggins' ability to manage the ball players and get them to go through with his ideas. And ths seems to be the chief drawback with Huggins unable to get the players to hustle and fight for him Joe Rivers Not to : Box Until July 4th : \ LOS ANGELES, May 7.--Joe Rivers is not going to fight again until the Fourth of July and his opponént on that occa- | sion will be Willle Ritchie, according to inannouncement by Joe Levy to-day | Levy has the promise of Ritchle that he will come here and fight Rivers a return matceh on Independence Day, if Promoter MceCarey will pay the freight MeCarey says he is willing to take a big chance, as he is confldent that Ritehis and Rivers would fill the Vernon arena to overflowing.

By J. W. Heisman. EORGIA and Tech have now fin- G fshed with all teams on the!r schedules save each other, and both teams are straining at the leash to get off in the last four heats of thelr dual baseball relay. Already 1 have been asked, times beyond all computation, which team is going to win, but I can only reply that the man who can dependably forecast the outcome of a serles of baseball games is 2 much greater prophet and soothsayer than he who can pick the winner of a horse race, for horses do sometimes run true to form. But baseball teams—and es peclally Georgia and Tech against each other—well, let it go at that. } - A - IIT was the writer's pleasure to see the Georgia team in action in its last two games against Alabama, and I have no hesitation in saying that the Red and Black looks to me to have a team equally as powerful as the aggrecsation that came out of the Classic CMty last year, which means ‘that It is very strong indeed. It lit erally ran away from Alabama, which was, by the way, rather more than Tech could do. Although Tech 31id take both series with the Tuscaloo sans, 1 have not forgotten that it was only after the hardest kind of fight- Ing and the best brand of ball Tech has put up all year. And with Ste venson in the box Alabama Dbeat ' Tech, while with the same man twirling against Georgia the Athe nians swamped the Red and White. - . - ‘Bl,"r‘ I am not at present golng into the matter of team records; pos sibly it will be more interesting to ‘compare the plavers man for man and Bee where we get off. . To start with the catchers, it is my belief that Witherington Is a better ‘man than Torbert. He is an older ihmd at the game, and he ig clearly a very much better hitter than the }(;r».nrsi:m. The latter seemed to peg well, what little I saw of his work !n this line; still T do not think he can throw as well as the Tech receiver, who i{s one of the best college peggers I have seen in a long time. In the mere mechanics of recelving both are ;goud men., Witherington is not to be beaten on getting under foul flies, “.\'hi'.f‘ Torbert's ability in this line is ‘tm'»\m-\\n to me, Tech should have 'the edge in the matter of a back istopper - - - ‘AT first base the race appears to be more even to me than most pen ple would grant. Henderson is un doubtedly older than Burr in every way, and he is the best batsman on the Georgia team. He has a good eve and he keeps cool: he is a maost "‘\)‘f‘!’l(‘!?\' d player Though slower 'than Burr on the bases, his greater experienec will largely overcome that handicap | On the whole, Burr is apt to ha 'more brilliant than his rtval in fieli ‘ing, while the latter will be steadler and make less errors. Henderson 'knows th position better than Burr, ‘and perhaps his arm is a shade bet ter \WWhen {t comes to hitting, Burr is not a weakling by any manner of means, and in a vear or so will, in my opinfon, be the heaviest hitter in the colleges, as well as a reliable and even brilliant fielder. Henderson has the call, but by a smaller margin| than most people think. } > 8 8 ‘ A‘T second Harrison will put it nvfl'! 2 any man that Tech can present. The Athenian is about the best second EAD E'Syiiy nlfi' PILLSRE | Popujar Remedy for Gout, Rheumatism, ¥ Sciatica, Lumbagno; pains in the head, face and limbe.

AT short the race is again a close one. Yes; Clements is a very clever vplayer, but Wooten is no slouch. He has not been playing the place nearly as long as ('lements, but he flelds pretty well, throws all rigir, ig a good base runner and a reliable hitter. Clements has been hitting hard this spring, we are told, but he {s not so far ahead of Wooten. Tih ‘edge i{s perhaps slightly with the Georglan ‘ B oo AT third both men are new and fairly evenly matched, But I am satisfled that, at the least, Hill {s as valuable a man as Holden, elther in hitting or flelding or running. - - - [N Ginn and McWhorter Georgia has two all-Southern men from last vear, and they lcok as good as ever-- in all departments. Captain Pound for Tech is playing the best ball of his career in left, and so is Tylar Montague in center. The Georgians have probably a slightly advantage, but again it is not as great as many will suppose. 5 5 9 IN right Owen is a better fielder than | Johnson and a weaker hittér, As to which is the more valuable to his team we should know before long. ‘. . . ;WELL. Corley and Hitchcock have | the better ‘‘reps’” and records— ‘no disputing that. And both are un deniably very, very good. The Tech pitchers are not the worst ever when they are in form, but when they are not in form they ARE the worst ever Now, if you can guess what kind of form they will be in for Georgia you can do more, much more, than yours truly. This uncertainty, of course, clearly gives a considerable margin ‘o Georgia, although baseball, as vou know, is a very funny game—espo cially the pitthing end of it. - - - A.\'D where does all this leave us? 8 Georgla is somewhat ahead in the infleld. a little ahead In the outfield, no doubt better in the box, and clear lv behind in one place only—catcher. Potentially Georgla is stronger than Tech. Another advantage Georgia pos sesses is that in Henderson, Harrison and Clements she has three men wno were members of Georgia’'s infield last vear; while with Tech not a single member of the present infield, inu cluding the catcher, playved there in the Georgla series of last year. The two outflelds present two men each who performed in the gardens last season. So now vou can take your choice again.
