Has anybody noticed that Atlanta is still leading the league?
Haven’t heard anything said about it lately.
The Crackers, for once, in a way, have got a good start. And
they got it with a stove-up team.
Of course the Crackers had the advantage of two series
against “them dubs” but their other games have been against
Nashville, formerly a first division team, and Birmingham, last
year’s pennant winners.
Now listen to this, from Birmingham papers:
The Ledger was the first paper In the league to say that the
Montgomery tees would not stand (or another "punk" team. It
also said that It was propable that Chattanooga or Mobile would
break Into the Southern league. Watch The Ledger and see If It
don’t say ”'I told you so.”
Just about three more defoats and Montgomery fans will
throw up the sponge. Who can blame them? They have the rot-
tenest team In the league, or any other league, for that matter.
—Ledger.
If Birmingham should win too many games In Montgomery
on this trip, look out for the Montgomery franchise taking a walk.
Just a word about that franchise matter. That Montgomery fans
are not going to support a losing team has been proven. If the
team representing that city does not pick up and win some
games, developments may prove there Is more truth than poetry
In the removal of the franchise.—News.
HOW'S THIS FOR A COLLECTION?
Now if the writer of this column wns warned to keep out of
Montgomery jf ho didnft want his life blood spilled ana if the
warning came bccauso he said that Birmingham people thought
that Montgomery might give up her franchise if the attendance
did not pick up, what do you supposo would happen to Messrs.
Mooney and Mullin if they happened into Ennuiville. \
It’s a wonder to me that the Pretzel fans let that \air stay
in the state. - *
JOHN WAGNON.
Wagnon, when last heard from,
was doing the utility stunt for Au
gusta. When the Augusta team
was In Atlanta he played first—
and about the "glngerlest" first on
record. lie lacks polish as a field
er, but seems to be a comer.
MURDOCK.
Murdock Is playing center field
for Macon at present, and leading
oft In the batting.
“CbUNT" CASTRO.
Here Is a life-like Imitation of
"Count” Castro, with Sid Smith
In the background.
Just at present the Count Is
playing the kind of ball that put
him In the major leagues, and If'
he keeps the stride he has hit he
will doubtless rank as the best
shortstop In the league this year.
The Birmingham team will be over for a trimming on Mon
day and then look out for atrenuosity.
As has been remarked before, the Barons have a crack
ing good team. Their infield may bo a bit wobbly—which it
sometimes is, but their pitching staff is all there and the outfield
is about as good as any in the league.
The Barons are going to be near the top at the end of the
season and the Cr/ckers will have to look out that they do not
advance at Atlanta’s expense.
However, just now the Atlnata players are pretty firmly
Intrenched at the top of the column and they will probably stay
there for a while—at least until they pull out of Nashville for
Memphis and the Far West. It is almost too much to Vope that
they can hold the lead during that long trip into the enemy’s
country, mid we may as well begin to prepare for the worst. But
with anything like an even break on the road the Crackers will
put an awful dent in tho pennant race during that next long
stay at home.
CRACKERS WIN
IN A CANTER
Before a crowd of over 8,000—some
800 "paid” more than loet Decoration
Day—the Atlanta team defeated Nash-
vllle by a score' of 11 to 2.
It was Just such a game as might
have been expected with a crowd over
running the field and Just the kind of a
game that such a crowd wanted
Nashville never had a chance. 'The
Crackers took the lead In the first In
ning, piled up seven runs In the third
and knocked two pitchers out of the
box. Ford pitched great ball after the
first Inning, and at that might have
had a shut-out It there had not been
an error In his support.

PITCHING STAFF PROBLEM NOW
FULL OF FIERCE COMPLICATIONS
NOTES OF THE GAME
With Roy Costleton mldcd to the Allan-
ta team’s pitching staff, the Job of select*
Ing n five-man combination 1ms become
more difficult than It wns a week ago—
and then It wns bad enough.
Cnstleton and Schopp, left handers; Zd*
ler, Npnde, Bpnrks, Ford and ltownn, right*
handers. That Is the present lay-out. And
that number will hate to be reduced to five,
provided Smith will" dispense with a util
ity man. and four If ho will uot. And the
reduction must come before May 10.
It might be mentioned, however, that lo
cal dope Is that the utility man Idea 1ms
been abandoned. Bob Spade, who will
doubtless be retained, Is n first-class man
In the outfield and fair In the Infield—be
sides being a .300 hitter. Ho, with him on
the team, a utility man Is not badly need
ed. ’
Roy Cnstleton, the “ground rent man."
looks good to everybody, and ought to
make Breltenstcln hustle for first honors
among the southpaws. He wns In the
grounds Friday in uniform, oud warmed
up with the rest.
Cnstleton has been turned over to Smith
ns a hostage, and in return for this con-
Lnst year Cnstleton wns with tho
Youngstown team of the Pennsylvania and
Ohio League, which aggregation won the
pennant. Ho figured ns the fifth pitcher
In tho league, with only Bhman, Scnettler,
Kennedy and Armstrong abend of him, and
one of his games was a no-hlt affair. Ills
records were:
Pitching—Won 22, lost 12; per cent .647.
, 2; per
, -Games 41, at bat 106, runs 11, hits
23. sacrifice hits C, stolen bases 2; per cent
.267.
Fielding—Games 41, pat outs 9, assists 85,
errors 5; per cept .949.
That batting performance was rather re
markable for a pitcher. It placed the
contained over 150 players during the sea
son.
Cnstleton’s home Is In Salt Lake City,
and he reached Atlanta March 10 to prnctlce
with the Highlanders.* and pitched his first
time against the University of Georgia
players, allowing them only three bits in
five innings.
In writing of Cnstleton, Sid Mercer, the
baseball man of The New Y’ork Globe, said:
"The boy has many good qualities. He Is
nervy and has confidence. Ball players de
scribe these qualities In a different way,
hut we’ll let It go at that. He was the
hero of n no-hlt game lost season,\nml Is
ambitious to shine In fast company. He
Is pilling to learn, and his habits are the
best.
"If there Is any weight to the opinion of
Clark Griffith. Jlin McGuire, Jack Klelnow
and several other Yankee players who ought
to be, able to distinguish n real pitcher
from a "spring bloomer,” Cnstletou Is a
real good left hander."
COTTON STATES WEATHER NO BETTER
THAN SOUTHERN LEAGUE ARTICLE
With such ft top-heavy crowd,
Nashville would never had the
heart to win. Also the Dobbers
did not seem to be there with the
ability. - *
When the game opened with
Dobbs' blngle and when Wiseman
followed with a double and an error
eventuated and let In two runs, it
looked as though the game had
gone to the bad and 5,006 fans
groaned aloud.
After that a hit to an Inning was
all Nashville could do, and Ford
put a magnificently pitched game
to his credit. He had all the Nash
ville batters reaching for them and
did not let himself get in even a
small hole.
The Nashville pitchers did not
seem to "have It.” Schmidt opened.
1 but his arm was not right, and the
Atlanta batter* Just murdered his
curves.
Then Hackett took a try, but the
big boy was particular pie for the
Atlanta hitters. Singles, two-bag
gers and bases on bfills followed
like the perspiration from his umps
and before the Terrible Third was
ended Atlanta Bad stacked up eight
hits and seven runs. It was a reg
ular Bartley of an Inning.
The conditions favored the heav
iest hitting team for the men who
could put long files Into the crowd
got credit for two-baggers. And
the Atlanta players certainly laced
them out, salting away five two-
baggers.
And maybe there wasn't a crowd.
It filled the grandstand until the
timbers protested with every move
ment of the fans; It packed the
bleachers until a sardine effect was
produced which must have been
awful for the sardines. Also it ran
over onto the field and formed an
unbroken circle around the playing
territory. It drove the outfielders
right in behind the Infield; It kept
the first and third basemen Inside
the foul lines, and it made the
catching of fouls and 'long files an
entirely hopeless task.
Chairs were bringing 50 cents
apiece, "coke” boxes a quarter, and
a paper of any date was worth a
nlckle as ground covering. Also
about a thousand people didn’t find
any place to sit on.
k The crowding of the field result
ed In one accident. R. Asbell, a
spectator, was struck by a foul ball
and quite badly injured.
It was fortunate that more peo
ple were not hurt. Every foul tip
which got by the catcher pl</wed a
hole in a solid mass of people, and
several men were hit. Fortunately
none but Asbell, was hurt.
The game was called after one-
half of the seventh Inning. They
said It was dark and the crowd
didn’t seem to mind. It wasn't
very dark, but the fans wanted to
go home, and ten more Innings
could not have turned the balance
of hits and runs away from At
lanta.
The crowd gave Elmer Duggan
the happy hand when he came In to
pitch. The Schoolmaster made a
bunch of friends when he was in
Atlanta, and the local rooters are
always glad to see him do well
against anybody but the Crackers.
And Elmer did all right this
trip, but he arrived too late.
Three hits for five bases In five
innings was the best record by an
Atlanta man. And Otto did it.
The most sensational stop was
that of the line drive which Johnny
Dobbs hit in the seventh inning.
And Otto'stopped It.
The best piece of base running
was when a man scored from sec
ond on a Texas Leaguer. And
it.was Otto.
Taken altogether, It was quite
Otto’s day.
It was ludicrous, to see Otto and
Jim Fox go after a- high fly be
tween first and second. Both of
them yelled "I got It,” and stood
side by side. Before the ball was
within six feet of Jordan's out
stretched hands, however, Fox had
stretched to his full height and
caught it.
Castro’s bunt in the third was
about as neat a piece of work as
you would often see. The pitcher
and first baseman collided when
they went after It and Hardy went
down.
Tho Nashville team concludes Its
engagement with Saturday’s game ;
and returns to Nashville Saturday :
night.

Mobile, Ala.. April 26.—Down here
In the cotton etatoe there Is going" on
an almost dally battle between old
Jupiter Pluvtus and tho magnates. And
right now "Old Jup" has the best of
the argument and his team Is leading
the league quite a few points. It Is
now fourteen days since the season
opened and we have had Just two days
suitable for baseball, although we hove
managed to play eleven games. It
seems to me I have heard an old say-'
Ing which sounds something like “The
Sunny South,” and I have also read
about "an Oregon mist,” but I am fain
to confess that I think the legions of
Old Jupiter "missed Oregon und hit
Alabama." . . .
Hut, for all that, the weather has been
so bad as to make the dlamone look
like mud pies, the fans In this section
of the country have been treated to
some warm baseball.
I have no hesitancy In saying that
the Cotton States League this year Is
faster than ever before, and I believe
there arc at least four teams which are
faster than last year’s pennant win
ners.
Another pleasing feature of this sea
son's race Is the competent and fear
less staff. of umpires that President
Compton has signed. Brady and Mc
Kenzie, of last year's staff, and Leo
Dawkins, the newcdiner, are all sea
soned officials, who know their busi
ness, nnd nre capable of maintaining
order on the bnll field, as well as Judg
ing the plays In a fair, Impartial man
ner.
Tills year, President Compton has
been vested with almost czar-like
power to deal with any difficulties or
differences likely to nrise and, with
his well known and heretofore demon
strated fairness nnd good Judgment, It
Is .hoped that this season wilt be de
void of any such useless squabbling as
took place In this league last year.
Every team has about settled upon
Its line-up, Hnd there will be few
changes from now on. The time limit
for cutting down to the -limit of thir
teen men has been extended to May 1.
Heine Bush, the old Montgomery
shortstop, has been signed by Merid
ian. Heine held on a lftng time with
Montgomery and If he could hit a little
better would be there yet. as ht* ability
to Held has never been questioned.
Bill Brunner, one of my pitchers, has
taken unto himself a wife, and the
They Are Playing Fast
Ball, Though, In Spite
of Old “Jupe.”
best wishes of all who know him are
tendered to him, and his lifelong help
mate.
Bill Is quite a schemer as he demon
strated by a piece of etrategem
worked when he left here to get mar
ried. He aeked for a day's leave of ab
sence so he could go to Meridian after
his wife, and It was granted, although
at the time I thought It strange that
she could not travel from Meridian to
Mobile without Bill going after her.
Brunner had made out that he was al
ready married, so you can Imagine the
surprise of his friends when the an
nouncement of his marriage was seen
In the paper the day following his de
parture for Meridian. Then Just to
show tho fans that married life agreed
with him, he pitched against Vicks
burg the next day and won Ills own
game with a two-base hit.
It Is raining so hard outside that my
r ncil Is blotting the pai>er so I guess
will discontinue until there Is more
news of interest to write about.

IT'S FIGHT OR STARVE FOR GANS
By TAD.
New York, April 24.—"The old master,” Joseph Gans, of Baltimore.
Md., seema to be between two fires at the present time. Joe has blown
his roll and In looking for a big purse he naturally turna toward . the
Danish gent from Hegewlsh, who has a manager by the name of Nolan.
Bald Nolan understands that Gans Is Hat. Said Nolan wants / the
money a* much as Gans does, but also wants his man to fight at the
weight best for him. He demands that Gant weigh 133 pounds with his
shoes and gloves on in the ring.
At first Bans made strenuous howls, but It was one thing or oth
er. Joe bad to either go around with a very thin seat on Ills ; In or
else accept the weight thie gentleman demanded.
For a champion of the world, these are certainly hard line:

TIM SAYS SQUIRES IS A CHAMP
By TIM M’GRATH.
Chicago, April 25.—"I believe Bill Squires Is a better fighter than
Bob ^Fitzsimmons or Tom Sharkey.
"BUI Squires will be the world's champion Inside of six months or
sooner If he can get on a match with Jeffries.
"I have studied Squires as I have never studied a fighter before, and
I have come to the conclusion that he Is the coming heavyweight cham
pion.

wh e *'. The 8110 ' ,0 * s not always make the champion.
Hertand. five feet ten and one-half Inches In his stocking*. That
