ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS, TUESDAY, MARCH 19, 1907.
ALL THE NEWS FROM BALLVILLE--AND THEN SOME
SPORTING PAGE EDITED BY PERCY H. WHITING
BY PERCY H. WHITING.
The “hold-outers” are gradually coming across. Jim Jor
dan and George Stone have signed and several other famous
performers who have been holding out for more cash are on the
point of getting into the game. It is hard to hold out against
any offer with the weather like it is now.
Eddie Sabrie says that he will not play hall with Charley
Prank for the salary offered. Can it be that “To U—with-the-
expense Charley” is getting tight iu his oid age!
Bobby Gilka has signed a collection of stars for hia Gulf-
K rt team and his salary roll must approach the Southern
ague limit. He has some youngsters, though, and among
them Carnes, of Rome, Ga.
What about the Commercial League thia ycart
There will be one, all right; for a half dozen good teama are
out right now for positions in it and The Georgian will give a
pennant.
One question which ought to be pretty thoroughly discussed
before the first meeting is as to the eligibility of the players.
8hall the league be open to all players or shall the players be
limited to employees of the commercial organization which the
team represents t
It seems to the writer that the City League ought to be lim
ited only to amateurs. With the Commercial League, however, it
is another matter and if possible teams should be limited to the
bona fide employees of the firms represented.
This scheme is being advocated by the backers of the Foote
ft Davies team. This firm put its name and money behind the
Foote ft Davies team in the Commercial League last year and is
willing to do so again, provided an “employee limit" is put on
the membership of the teams. They will not, however, back
a team in a league which is open to all.
This limit will be most desirable, provided it is a practical
one. If there are enough commercial organizations in Atlanta
which will put ball teams on the field and which have enough
employees who play ball to make the formation of a team pos
sible then the scherno ia a good one.
The Commercial League teams ought to thrash this matter
over and find out where they stand.
A meeting of the City League will be called this week and it
ia probable that the Commercial League players will got togeth
er for organization the following week.
Another point about the Commercial League—it ought to
be especially for teams which cannot begin their season until the
commercial houses of the city begin giving their employees Sat
urday afternoons off. A team which does not begin getting Sat
urdays off until along the latter part of May or early in Juno
ought not to get in a regular City League, for its season will be
gin before that time.
The City League ought to be for teams which can begin
playing at once and the Commercial League for the teams which
eannot begin playing until later.
Charley Babb is counting on Sylvester Loucks to fill Lieb-
hart's shoes. That is a pretty large contract for any man, but
Loucks improved wonderfully at the end of Inst summer and is
undoubtedly a good man. If he gets into form early enough this
year he will make tho best of them hump to keep ahead.
Says The News of Birmingham:
“Everybody is awaiting the opening of the season,
thusiasm does not seem Jo he at a high pitch, however.”
That's whnt a pennnnt does for n town.

In the sixth Inning three hit*,- one a
two-bagger, gave the Macon then two
runa, and they took down one Ip the
eighth and one In the ninth.
Atlanta settled ull doubts os to the
final outcome In the eighth when the
players lit Into Reunion. Perry Lipe's

Macon, Ga., March 19.—If Inside
baseball and ability to lay # the ball
down when called upon to do so, added
to the other numerous accomplish
ments of the Napsjn the greut national

Is almost a certainty that the other
seven teamn will have a good pace

Morning practice Monday was de
voted entirely to batting and base
running. slgnul work being used with
good effect. In the afternoon the Nap*
put In the most of the time in bunting
the ball and with good results.

to look elsewhere for patients If the

Thlelmun and Berger went to the firing

prime.

.Manager Lajole expects to have a
huge electric sign placed In front Of
the Lanier Hotel bearing the following
words. "Hospital attendants need not
apply. We had our share of hard luck
during the past three seasons. Look
elsewoere for victims."
The Nap* are In even better condi

day afternoon than with Macon Satur

Thlelmun and Ehman on the rubber.
Flick will come to Macon Monday,
word having been received here to thnt
effect Monday evening. Elmer Is en

his old side partners a pleasant call
and to wish them well.
It 1* Just possible that Charley Som

A large chunk of misfortune struck

three worthy and Intrepid Inflelders

Griffith's one consolation In that the

came about while Jim McGuire was

generally believed would not do for
fast company.
"Come here. Griff!” McGuire yelled
to the manager. "This kid haa got
something and It's a peach.”"
Griffith hurried over, for when the
"old war horse" says something, nice
about a young pitcher, you may know
the youngster has displayed some tal
ent beyond the ordinary.
"Gee, that Is a peach," comme
Griff. "Let me take him awhile."
