SPORTING WORLD NOTNEWS, BUT VIEWS SHREVEPORT STAR ATHLETIC CLUB GOLF TEAM DOUBLE BILL ON THURSDAY ATLANTANS WINJATCB Capture Inter-City Bowling Tournament—Individual Matches Next. BY PERCY H. WHITING. As a bet-settler the writer seems to be doing a land-offico business right now. One fan wants to know what was the biggest crowd that ever saw a base|all game and whether it was larger or smaller than the biggest football crowd. The answer is: There were 45,000 people present at the Yale-Harvard game in 1905. The largest crowd that ever saw a baseball game was 24,992 at New York between Philadelphia and New York in the world's championship. Another man wants to know the decision in regard to bets on the would-be-but-wasn’t Tech-Georgia game of A couple of Saturdays ago. It is the opinion of the writer that bets on that game would be off. The M. Kutz team has shown the right spirit in agreeing to play over the game which they protested last Saturday against the Southern Railway. Technically they were perhaps right, but Manager Winn decided that he would rather take a chance of losing the game than to win it on a technicality and consequently agreed to play it over. It is this kind of a spirit which makes amateur baseball worth while and which assures the success of a league made up of such managers. i The Georgian has in the past and is now making a very strenuous effort to keep the standings of the clubs correct. The Georgian's standing was correct yesterday for all four leagues, it ought to be today and we shall endeavor to make it so tomorrow. You can bank on The Georgian’s standing. *1 ■ y f— Top Row—W. P.

With the break even at the end of Monday’s game, the Crackers turned on the Pirates and hammered them re lentlessly. The score In the deciding game was 8 to 3. — • Spade started out like a shut-out performer, and up to the sixth Inning bad allowed just one hit. Then came two singles, a double an out and a triple In quick and fatal succession. It was a lucky escape that kept the score down to three runs. Billy Smith woe clearly worried, for he hustled a couple of pitchers out behind the grandstand and warmed them up. Aft er that Inning Spade steadied and al lowed only a hit to the Inning for the rest of the game. Beeker, who has not been up to form this year, did not show any espe cial Improvement Tuesday. The Crack ers hit his delivery practically when and where they willed. And the crash came when Otto Jor dan knocked a home run. After that fatal fifth Inning ended Beeker whs yanked and Fisher went In, only to meet a fate almost as bad aa Beaker's. Otto's homer was tho first one ever knocked In the new park and was a hummer from Ilummersvllle. It sneaked an a line down by third base, passed King like a limited does a tramp, did the same for Daley and rolled on Into the waste places beyond the bleachers. And for a fact, Otto could have completed the circuit and then gone on to second base again If he had cared to. But as It was. he juet jogged home, and at that beat the ball about a mile. Spade's two-bagger In the eighth would have been another Juet such except for tbe fact that It hooked around a bit and collided with the cor. ner of the bleachers. Put one other thing down in your lit tle red book. There are going to be a lot of home runs knocked this year. That "skinned” outfield bakes aa hard as the hinges of—of a door—and when a low ball gets by the outfielders It Is likely to run a mile. There Is one thing about those Pi rates. They always look like big leaguers. Part of this effect Is pro duced by the uniforms they wear and part by the fact that most of the Shreveporters are big men and stack up like a collection of majors. Shreveport has one of the best field Ing outfields In the league—Just as It had last year. That Judd Daley Just doesn’t care whom he robs of a hit, and the rest of them aren't much better. The crowd had lota of fun yelling to FHher to take himself out. But Tom my didn't take the hint. Becker drew a lovely soak In the bean at second when tho Pirates tried to throw him out there. But he went right on and finished out Just as though nothing had happened. The tables were turned Tuesday when every eastern club but Atlanta lost. On the previous day Atlanta was the only easterner which dropped a game. Mike Finn, of the Little Rock club, has turned Pitcher Lakoft back to De troit and haa signed a chap named Quollars. > • % Captain Lake has rejoined the Trav elers. Finn alee announces that Buch anan will not go to the Charleston club, This Is Consolation Day In New Orleans Tournament Special to The Georgian.

Birmingham, Ala., May 29.—With the return of Harry Vaughn from Cincin nati, where he went to visit a elck rela- live, and Incidentally to pick up any loose ball players that he might find, announcement of a general shake-up In the Birmingham baseball club Is ex pedited. Eugene DeMontrevllle, the former Atlanta player, will be played at short, a position that has suffered extensively since Oyler was forced out of the game on account of an accident. Atlanta fans need no Introduction to "Demont,” as he Is commonly called, for he was the star second baseman and captain of the 1905 Atlanta team. Hardly had word reached Blrmlng- ham that Vaughn had purchased De Montrevllle In Toledo, before there was a shuffle on the local team. As a re sult, Roy Montgomery, who has been a Baron for two seasons, has closed a deal with the •Jackson, Miss., team to man age that aggregation of ball players the rest of the season. He will leave for Jackson Just as soon as all arrange ments are made with t|ie local team, and Vaughn puts a man In his ploca Under tho terms of the release It Is un derstood that a waiver will be given on Montgomery. He Is well liked by the Birmingham management, but has played In hard luck this year, aufterlng with rheumatism and a bad pair of eyes. One of the flnt official announce ments expected from Vaughn concerns Oyler, Lister and Alcock. It la gen erally understood that two of these men must go. Oyler is said to be all out of condition. At the present time he Is In bed with both ankles caved In and his throwing arm torn to pieces. It Is probable that he will not appear on e Southern League diamond this season. Present Indications point to the re tention of Alcock on third baee for the Barons at the present, at least. Cap tain Molesworth thinks he will make s good Inflelder after this season, at least, and It Is almost an assured fact that he will remain at third. After the team has been weeded down to thirteen men and with the deals rumored put through, the Barons' Une-up will be; Catchers, Garvin and Latimer; first base, Meeks; second base, Walters; ttfird base, Alcock; shortstop, DeMon trevllle; outfielders, Molesworth, Smith and Gardner; pitchers, Wilhelm, Ka gan, Clark and Turner. 00000000000000000000:900000 ~ NELSON AND T BR,rr HT AQA|N .g New Orleans.
