CRACKER-BARON BATTLES NOW IN LIMELIGHT
j SPORTING PAGE EDITED BY PERCY H. WHITING )"* “
NOT NEWS, BUT VIEWS
BY PERCY H. WHITING.
It's a hard job picking winners. We've raadfc a stab at it in
the pennant races for five years. At interval* we’ve given the
deluded bettors on horse races our one best bets. And now and
then we’ve opined considerably about the winners of tennis and
golf tournaments.
But here’s the one-very-best-bet of the whole collection—
Judge Wm. M. Kavanaugh, president of the Southern League,
for governor of Arkansas.
The judge nearly ran for the office a few years ago. But a
job came along as president of a trust company, or something or
other that was worth about a dozen governorships, and tliht
nobody else would handle; and Judge Kavunaugh put it
through. Now he has that wound up and is going in for poli
tics and golf.
And nothing short of a political somersault can possibly
keep the judge out. IIo is the biggest man in Arkansas politics
today and can have any job he asks for.
Naturally the good wishes of the Southern League go with
the judge in the race he is making.
It is not likely that Judge Kavanm^rselection will in
terfere with his duties as president me. Neither job
is sufficiently arduous to cut into theWner. And it is hoped
at this end of the line that Judge Kavanaugh will continue
to hold his office as chief executive of the league.

Tech Players Rather Sore
Over Treatment By Vandy
By B. S. BROWN, Georgian’s Correipondent at Tech.
The Tech team returned from Nash
ville Sunday, bringing with them a
record of two defeats and only one
victory, but feeling that In the absence
from tho box In all three gamea of
their star and captain, Lafltte, they had
dono ns woll as could be expected.
The Individual members of the team
expressed themselves as very sore over
tho way they were treafed In Nashville
by the students of Vanderbilt, and by
th sporting writers of the Naehvlllo
papers. They say that never In the his
tory of athletics at the Tech has any
body of students treated tbe members
of the teams with such Jibes aa assailed

The players say that the Vanderbilt
team Itself treated them very courte
ously, but that the main fault was with
a Ibt of undergraduates who teemed to'
think that It was a part of their college
llfo to malign the visitors, and to show
them how really unwelcome they were.
This Is In marked contrast to the
treatment that was accorded the Van
derbilt team last season whet^ they
were lodged on the Tech campus, were
shown every consideration, and even
after Kyle had dangerously spiked
Tech’s best player. Tommy McMillan, a
number of Tech students escorted the
Vanderbilt team to their train and
cheered them as they departed.

Afternoon.
Be
Grounds and Umpires Were
Voted on by the

The season In The Georgian's Com
mercial League opens Saturday after
noon with the following games:
Southern Railway vs. Sun Proofs, on
Gaminage Crossing diamond.
Southern- States Electric vs. Beck A
Gregg, on the north diamond at Pied
mont park.
M. Kuts vs. West End Stars, on south

The uipplres have been assigned by
the secretary to act os follows: S. V.
Stiles, to take the Southern Railway-
Sun Proofs game.

West End Stars game.
Carlton Floyd to take the Southern
States Electric Co.-Beca A Gregg
game.
The public Is Invited to attend these

Atlanta fans will have the opportunity
of seeing some first-class baseball.
A meeting of The Georgian's Com
mercial League was held at The Gear-
glan ofllce Monday night, a schedule
was adopted, grounds decided upon and
practlcaily all plans made for the for
mal opening of the league on Saturday.
The schedule which was adopted Is
shown elsewhere. ft provides for
three-game engagements between all
teams of the league, fifteen games In
all for each team. This schedule was
drawn up by President Thomas nnd
was unanimously adopted.
President Thomas, os chairman of
ths committee on grounds, reported
that through tho courtesy of the park
board, and especially of Chairman Pat
terson and Secretary Dan Carey, the
ta’o diamonds In the Infield of tho Pied
mont park race track had been turned
over to the league for the season and
two games will be played there each
Saturday.
Tumor Mlddlebrooks, a member of
the committee, reported that the Gam-
mage Crossing grounds were available
and It was decided to play one game a
week there.
The grounds committee was contln-
used. and will presumably act for the
present In all matters relating to
grounds.
A call for tho nomination of umpires
brought out six names, and all those
suggested were qualified by the unani
mous vote of tho league. Tho names of
the men now qualified to serve, to
gether with the name of the team by
whose manager they were suggested,
are given below:
Frank Banty, nominated by the
Southern States Electric Company.
S. V. Stiles, nominated by the West
End Stars. -
Henry Watts, nominated by the Sun-
Prnofs.
Cal McGahey, nominated by the
Southern States Electric Company.
C. Floyd, nominated by the M. Kutz
team.
Bob Hogg, nominated by the South
ern Railway team.
Umpire* now on the league's list are
liable to appointment for any game, ex-
copt that as far as possible the secre
tary will avoid nominating umpires to
act In gomes In which the teams which
nominated them are taking part. Each
umpire will receive 21 for every game>
he umpires, 50 cents to be paid to him
by each manager before the game be
gins.
These umpires will bo given the full
est powers and backed to the limit.
They are expected to keep order on
the field and are allowed to fine players
and put them out of the game for any
disorder. In fact, they have equal pow
er with Southern League umpires, nnd
if they do not keep order on tho field
It will bo their own fault. It will be
the effort of the league to make It as
WARMING UP A PITCHER
BILLY SMITH IN ACTION.
When Manager Smith it In doubt about what pitcher to put in a game,
he grabs a mit and lets the twiler throw a few over, just to show what
he has. Then Billy knows what to expect of hiz man. Smith’s knowl
edge of tho game is of great assistance to young pitchers and ho gives
them many valuable pointers during these brief warm-ups.

Lid Did Not Stick at All;
Boxers Busy at Chicago
NOTES OF THE GAME
Guess It’s all right about that
ground rent.
For Roy Castleton will "sure do.”
The southpaw rrom the land of
the Mormons made the Barons look
like a lot of batting misfits. The
box score only showed four hits,
and one of these—Walters’ alleged
two-bagger In tho second—was a
lluke. Lew hit the* ball a hard lick,
but Pankert could have landed It
easily if It had not been for the
blooming sun which got In his
blooming eye hnd the bait dropped
right beside him.
The only time Castleton was
"found" was In the fifth, when
Clark singled, advanced on a wild
pitch and scored on Carlos Smith’s
single. During the (fiber eight In
nings Roy allowed only one real
hit and one scratch hit.
The ex-Yankee has a swell hook
to his curves, plenty of steam, good'
control for a left-hander and nerve
galore. His support In the first
three Innings was rather nesjre-
shaking, but he never wobbled tor
a second.
Castleton’s actions In a tight
pinch positively make an Iced cu
cumber look sultry. He quits pay
ing attention to anything or any
body but the catcher and ths bat
ter, and the way he scorches the
ball over la enough to take the
catcher off his feet.
After the first three Innings Cas
tleton might well have thought that
he waa back again with the High
landers,* Judged by the support he
got. The Jordan-Caatro-Dyer trio
was doing Its level best and pick
ing the ball up any way It happen
ed to come.
Of course, the Barons proved
easy.
Atlanta did not do a thing but
take their best pitcher and knock
him around the lot until he looked
like a Rugby football after a hard
game.
Twelve hits for nineteen bases
was all tho Crackers did to the
pride of thi Slag Pile, and evi
dently Vaughn sdw that he did not
have a pitcher who could stop the
rally, for he let "Ginger” Clark
finish It out.
Castro made three singles. Pas-
kert a three-bagger and a two-bag
ger, Spade two two-baggers, Jor
dan two singles and Winters a
three-bagger.
Gee, but It was a hard day for
Clark.
Spade’s doubles were the pret
tiest on record. He snapped the
first one ewer In right field, right In
the corner of the fence, and then
added the second one In exactly
the same place. After that Carlos
.smith played right up In the cor-
ncr when Bob came to bat but
nothing more came hlg way.
Jordan and Clark had an amus-
Ing “run-in” during the third
spasm. After Otto had singled he
led way off first base and Clark
tried to catch him away from the
bag. He did not succeed the first
time nor the second nor third nor
several more times, and Otto and
the fans began to give him the
hoarse smile. Then he crawled Into
the box and wade a swing toward
Jordan. It was a clear balk and
Otto went down to second, from
which point he ecored on Spade’s
second double.
In the fifth Inning Dyer was hit
on tho ankle by a pitched ball and
rather badly hurt. Ho plucklly
played through tho game, however
and made some brilliant stops.
Molesworih separated Sid Smith
from a hit In tho third Inning by
the larceny route. Sid hit a ball
that tried to go over the center
field fence, but someway “Moley”
backed under It and stabbed It with
one hand.
Roy Montgomery made a good
stab In the sixth when he went to
the bleachers for a mean foul and
plucked it right out of the top of
tho fence.
Sid Smith caught his first game
since his accident, April 15, at
Birmingham, and showed up In fine
style. He had hard luck with his
hits, but was all there In the field-
ing department of the game.
They say over In Birmingham
that tho "squeeso” play Is invinci
ble, provided the bunt does not go
wrong. Which Is very true.
But It’s an “awful foolish" look
ing thing when the bunt does fall
For example^
In the 3d inning Molesworth sin
gled and advanced to third on an
error. Then C. Smith tried to bunt
him In. But the Crackers caught
the signal and Castleton threw one
up so wide that Carlos couldn't
have touched It with a telegraph
pole. Sid waa waiting for It; and
Molesworth, who had left third
with the pitcher's arm. was In the
awkward position of being off
third base, with no hope of getting
home. Hla put-out eventuated,
from catcher to the third baseman.
The rumor that Dick Crosier will
be signed by the Atlanta team Is
laughed at by Billy Smith. "I am
entirely satisfied with my outfield,’’
said Smith Monday. ”1 think that
It Is the best In the league. There
Is no chance that I know of that
we shall get Crosier.”
BARONS EASY
FOR CRACKERS
The Birmingham team made Its 1907
debut at Piedmont park Monday after
noon and lost to the Crackers by a
score of 5 to 1. The Barons could not
locate Castleton’s curves, while Clark
was hit hard.
