I THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. WEDNESDAY, MAY 8.1907. DISLOCATED DOPE ON 1 SPORTING PAGE EDITED DIZZY DAY’S BY PERCY H. WHITING | DOINGS OOOOSO, ••••*****•**,,,, | NOT NEWS, BUT VIEWS BY PEBOY H. WHITING. The tennis tournament season is almost here. The latter part of this month comes the Gulf States tourna* meat at New Orleans. In Juno the Tennessee state champion ship will be played in Nashville and Jnly 2 the Southern cham pionship will be played in Atlanta. After the main event of the Southern Tennis year comes the South Atlantic championship at Augusta, and the Georgia state championship at Rincon. Local tennis players are greatly disappointed because of the announcement that Bryant Grant will not be one of the team to defend the championship in the New Orleans event. Laqt year Grant and Nat Thornton represented the Atlanta 'Athletic Club and won the championship in doubles for the second time. Thornton also won the title in singles, defeating Grant in the final round. If Grant and Thornton win the Gulf States championship again this year the championship cups become their property. . For this reason especially. local enthusiasts arc anxious to sec the one invincible doubles team of the South in 1906, get* busy again, but doctors have forbidden Grant to play and he may never again be 6cen in a tennis tournament. In case Grant does not defend any of his titles, S. C. Wil liams or L. D. Scott will probably team with Thornton, at least in another effort to kcqp the Southern doubles title in Atlanta. At present, however, it seems not unlikely that no local players at all will compete in New Orleans. In the meantime the younger generation of tennis players is coming along fast and doubtless the championship fight this year will contain tho names of many who hardly figured in the consolation class last year. , These newer players arc putting up n high class of tennis, doing a lot of practicing and will be heard from this year. As soon as the Southern tennis championship is out of the way the Atlantic Athletic Club championship is on and the courts at East Lake will be busy places from now until well into tho fall.

The locals started In as though they were going to allow Atlanta to have nothing this trip, for two Boosters crossed the plato In the opening round ^f the matinee, and Spade was touc up In a lively manner. Atlanta made It very Interesting In the fifth Inning, however, when Paskert and Castro both scored on a base on balls for Fox. PasiterCs hit, MeEloveen's error allowing Castro to reach first base safely, Spade's sacrifice and George Winters" timely hit From that on up to'the eighth Inning It was a dead heat, and then Persons made an error that gave Atlanta the game.

Los Angeles, Can, May 8.—Despite the rumors that big chunks of Burns money are being dumped on the bet ting market at the eleventh hour. It looks as '.though Jack O’Brien will go Into the ring n favorite over the chunky Canadian tonight. Considering the majority, though Burns had a wee shade the better of the milling In tho last affair, one might be Inclined to say that this was pecu liar. Aa a-matter of fact the followers of pugilism, who are often whimsical In their Ideas, have employed logic this time In Installing O’Brien as first choice, it may prove, of course, to be false logic at that Here le the way the thing Is reasoned out: O’Brien entered the ring lest time with a crippled left elbow, which be came worse ns tho light progressed. During the contest he received n fierce smash between the eyes, Which, had he been less tricky and clever, would have left him at Burns’ mercy. Now. the fact that Burns could not finish O’Brien, who hnd a bad arm and who was knocked dlsgy, Is used as an argu ment that O’Brien, with two good arms, moro weight and tho dearly-bought knowledge that Bums occasionally speeds a wandering wallop that It la well to avoid Is sure to use his ring generalship and “science” to good pur pose and defeat Burns In this- second meeting. I have referred to O’Brien’s Increased weight. I have not seen him on the scales, but am credibly Informed that he weighs fully 164 pounds stripped, whereas he barely kicked the beam at 160 In tho last fight. , Considering everything from an Im partial standpoint, O’Brien seems the logical favorite for tonight’s battle, which, however, promises to be a hot contest from start to finish.

The management figures that If the ladles are for the game’tho men will be there all right, too. > Not bad dope, that. Billy Smith and the Atlanta players did not leave Nashville with feelings of kindest regard for Umpire Rudder- ham. In fact. It Is said that Billy Smith was particularly sore over somi decisions made by “Mr. Umpl” in the game yesterday, and Billy Is alleged to have told this same Rudderham somo .things after the game. Johnny Dobbs Is now worrying over whom ho will release. At present It looks as though Ktd Wells will be one of thoso to get the can, although Dobbs likes him and Is not Inclined part with him If he can help It. thinks Wells Is a comer. It Is more than likely that Jack Ely will get the pink slip, though.

The game was a pitchers’ battle, with honors even between Stembridge and Stowers, each gtvlng up one hit. On Tuesday afternoon the. Marlst campus was the ecene of as snappy and clever a game of baseball'as could be furnished on any Southern League dla. mond. An all-star team of former Marlst players from Joe Bean’e pen nant winning aggregation, headed by the "Mighty” Lafltte, met tho regular college team In the' first game of a three-game series. The all-stare won 4 to 3. The result was In doubt until the last man went out In the ninth. Hits were few and well scattered. The fielding was fast and. showed very few fumbles. Lafltte covered second for his team. The only face missing among the old stars was that of Marlst’* clever coach, Joe Bean. Lafltte’s hitting and fielding was easily the star feature of the day.

Ride 6th of May Erfurt next The above note, acribbled on the bot tom of a clipping from the “Rad-Welt,” published In Berlin, dermany, April 22, reached the sporting editor’s desk Tuesday afternoon. And on Monday The Georgian car ried the sad news that Bobby Walthour had met wtth a serious accident In a race at Erfurt, run May 6; and that his life was despaired of. It was a peculiar coincidence that Bobby's announcement of his Intention BOBBY. of racing In Erfurt reached Atlanta Just one day after the cable news of the bad accident which happened to him In that race. A translation of the “Wad-Welti account of the race Is rather beyond the capabilities of the sporting depart, ment. However, enough of It Is trani. latable to Justify the announcement that Walthour won the Grosser Fruh- Inhrs-Prels from Gulgnard, Robl and Huber In 1:10:20. V. M. C. A.
