THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. WEDNESDAY, MAY 1, 1907. 1 BARONS PUT UR HARP FIGHT AGAINST CRACKERS ] SPORTING PAGE EDITED BY PERCY H. WHITING 1 PLAYERS GETCAN 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. JOLT BARONS ONCE MORE With Rube Zeller pitching for At lanta and Turner In the pit for Birm ingham, tbe Barons and Crackers fought out a hard game Tuesday at Piedmont park.

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.

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. - TENNIS ATTECh Matches Begin to Decide Champions in Singles and Doubles.
