Pitcher Rowan and Catcher
O’Leary Released By
Billy Smith.
Catcher Dan O'Leary and Pitcher
Jack Rowan have been unconditionally
released by Manager Smith.
Waiver* were secured on these men
some time ago, and they were turned
loose on the eve ot the May 1 pay day.
O'Leary has proved. a first-class
backstop and has been hitting the ball
hard. But of the two substitute catch
ers fid Sweeney has been showing up a
shade the better nnd he gets the call.
' The writer has no intention of doing
any boasting, but owing to the fact that
his prophecy, made when Atlanta was
over In Birmingham, was so widely
derided, he now calls attention to the
fact that this turn waf called some
time ago. It has long been obvious that
Smith was going to keep Sweeney and
let O'Leary go, and the writer said this
not long ago. Also, he didn't call dhe
turn on the Rowan deal, but that's
another story.
Of course It Is practically certain that
Holfman will not bo with the team
through the season unless some of the
regulars are hurt. If he can be passed
Out of the league by the waiver route
he will doubtless be kept handy, as he
was last year, and called back Into
service when needed.

NOT NEWS, BUT VIEWS
BY PERCY H. WHITING.
The Birmingham News is boosting Lowry Arnold or Bob
Baugh for the Southern League presidency in case President
Kavanaugh is elected governor of Arkansas.
The question of President • Kavanaugh's success is not like
ly to come up for awhile because it is not likely that the Judge
will resign his present job provided he gets the other.
But if he does you can put it down that there will be a
hot fight for the league presidency.
Lowry Arnold is an Atlanta man. Bob Baugh is president
of the Birmingham baseball association. Both men are from
the eastern section of the league.
And does anybody think that Charley Frank and his co
horts would let an eastern man be elected to the presidency of
the league—well, not without n large and juicy protest.
The last tiipe there was a counting of noses Frank had
Montgomery and Nashville lined up and voting with the West
ern clubs.
So, if it came to a show-down the vote would probably be
two for Mr. Arnold or Mr. Baugh and six for—well, maybe
That Dutchman himself! Gee 1 What a thought!
Well, two teams in the league have had the decency to ar
range themselves in the exnct positions in which we prophesied
they would finish. Atlanta is in front and Montgomery is be
hind.
Our college crews are not liable to make much oil a show
ing when they go to Henley—as they do now nnd then. But
the crews of our navy can wipe up the Atlantic with any of
them. They nro proving it over at Norfolk, as they have a
dozen times before.
Tuesday’s win by Atlanta put Memphis down into second
place and Atlanta safely in the lead again. •
Just when everything looked rather bad Memphis had the
decency to lose to the then-tail-enders and Atlanta took a cou
ple of straight falls out of the Champions of 1907.
This lead will help. Atlanta hns now won six more games
than she has lost nnd it will take some pretty rough sailing
through the western waters to bring the Crackers behind the
.500 mark.
FIRST BASEMAN FOX. .
Here In slim Jim, Atlanta's first
bajicman and the best performer In
that capacity In the league.
Jim looks like a .300 hitter this
year and no first baseman In the
league has anything on him when It
comes to fielding his position.
The picture shows Jim In a char
acteristic attitude on first base.
Five week from today they’re off in the Southern Golf
Chnmpionship.
And in the meantime rush work will bo done on the East
Lako course. The Atlanta Athletic Club will soon put four
extra men at work on the course and this number, in addition
to those already there, will enable Superintendent Pickering to
rush nil work to completion.
All the putting greens are being put in condition and the
work of cutting the fair green has been started.

NOTES OF THE GAME
Zeller? Can he pitch?
Well, rather!
, He Ibwered the proud Barons .
with a total of six hits and If
Turner hadn't taken four singles
all at once and put the ball over the
fence there would never have been
a score. ,
Except for the home run the only
squally period of the game for the
Cracker helmsman was In the
eighth when a slight storm blew
up In the shape of a two-bagger
and a single In rapid "suction."
However, the next two men proved
easy outs and after that thyre was
nothing but a dense calm.
Dyer, Fox and Paskert contrib
uted the two runs. -
Dyer singled and Rowan ran for
him from first. Fox hit a three-
bagger, scoring Rowan, and Paskert
singled, scoring Fox.
After that spasm Atlanta made
live hits, but' never a run.
The game was just close enough
to be nerve-racking from the
jump. One bad bobble would have
tied or beaten the Crackers, but
the only mls'play came at a time
when It did not count.
Dyer had hie batting eye sticking
out like a crab's and found the
ball three out of the four times up.
In the beginning of the eighth
Alcock nearly loet an eye. While
the Bartms wcre throwing the ball
around before the Inning began
the ball on Its way to third took a
bad bound and fhstead of landing
In Alcock's hands it landed in his
eye. He swabbed out his optic
with a little Ice' water, however,
and continued the game.
Atlanta fane don't wish Moles
worth any hard luck, but If he
would please fall down and sprain an
ankle everybody would be much
obliged. He piles robbery on top
of larceny out In center field and
there Isn't anything safe out there
when he is on duty except one
over the fence.
8ld Smith's arm Is coming around
all right. He Is pegging them down
to second In great etyle, and when
he gets a little more practice he Is
going to show up any catcher In the
league on the proposition—as he
will show up everybody In the
league at batting—as soon as he
gets his stride.
Wilhelm and O'Leary umpired
and gave entire satisfaction. The
only kick heard was from the
Paskert Is fielding them so fast
out In left field these days that he
makes the hard dnes look easy. He
Is one of these LaJole style of play
ers, who does It all so well that
"stunt" catches look like cinches
when he gets behind them.
“Ginger” Winters, spiked Big
Meeks on third In fine style In the
fifth. With, only one out Garvin hit
a fly well over second base. George
came In on It like a streak, grabbed
It and kept right on running. Meeks
had A notion he would score on the
R lay. but changed his mind when
e saw Winters sneaking right up
behind second base and ready to
soak the ball to Sid Smith If the
big hulk got under way. "The
which" It didn't.
They say that Atlanta has trou
ble every year In winning her thir
teenth game. If the Crackers take
one out of the two remaining games
with Birmingham they will go on
the road with the hodoo hanging
over their heads. However, they
aren't superstitious and If any
body gets joshing them about It
they are likely to sail right In and
take both games from Birmingham,
just to break the spell. -
