MIKE FINN’S TRAVELLERS MAKE DUBUT ON SATURDAY

BY PERCY H. WHITING.
Well, come what may, the league leaders can’t make it
better than an even break in Atlanta. And their chances of
making it worse look brilliant at this distance.
Our 7.57 0. M. hunch is that Atlanta will take, the last
game or that it will rain.
The baseball extra may .tell a different story, but then—.
All honor to Rube Zeller and George Winters.
Also to the rest of the team.
Rube pitched wonderfully good ball for nineteen innings
And finished strong as a Kansas cyclone. He has Always had
everything that any pitcher ever had and Thursday ho pulled
the cork right out and let .Memphis see every curve, twist, I fend
and shot in his repertoire.
And it was the team's veteran, the James McGuire of the
aggregation, who knocked the hit that scored the only run of the
second game.
And his name is Winters.
The reanimated and revivified Travelers from Little Rock,
Ark. (by heck I), will arrive Saturday morning and furnish the
third bunch of excitement.
The fact that Montgpmery handed them a couple Thursday
makes them look rather feeble, but don't be deceived. M. Dor
sal Finn is right there with the hall club this year and if he
doean’t make the fur fly at I’once DeLeon, then it wifi be because
.jtfost’of the fur is mud.
Marvelous fish and quite as marvelous fish stories,are ema
nating from the Atlanta Athletic Club’s 37 gAllon fish preserve
at East Lake.
Nothing that comes out of that “only first class water
hazard in the South'’ weighs less than “about four pounds and
a half” and generally they are larger.
Just one suggestion, though. It is reported that neither,
the state nor the club laws regarding the taking of fish are
being observed; and.if that is so, tho result will be that- tho
lake will be fished out absolutely and completely in almost no
time at all.
But goipg back to baseball.
Wasn’t that a peach of a double-headerf
COMMERCIAL LEAGUERS
TO PLAY ON SATURDAY
Excitement galore le due tit the.Comr
merclal League games Saturday, for
undoubtedly tha schedule could not
have been better arranged to produce
exciting battles. Every manager In the
bunch expecte to win. and there will
be three very disappointed teams Sat
urday night.
The Beck & Qregg-Bun Proofs game
at the Qeorgla Military Academy
grounds will be undoubtedly the best
of the season. Carleton Floyd will um
pire.
The Southern Slates Electric Com-
pgny team and the M. Kuta team clinch
on the north diamond at Piedmont
Park, and promise excitement enough.
The Kuti team has a slight lead over
the Electricians, hut Manager Clifton
has materially strengthened of late.
8. V. Stiles will umpire.
The Koca Nolan and the Southern
Hallway also prnmlss excitement. E.
B. Sykes will umpire that game.

Unfortunate Accidents De
lay Preparations For
Tournament.
Chattanooga, for example, and Ma
con, both of which cltle* were counted
on for exceptionally large delegations,
now announce rather small representa
tion, while other cities, such as New
Orleans, Memphis nnd Birmingham,
seem inclined to send even more dele
gates than they were counted on for.
nament are ending In a regular whirl
of accidents. One lawn mower after
another has gone out of commission
a week's work on the gasoline
roller ended In an explosion which
threatened to put tho machine ou* of
business for good and did lay It off for
a few days. Then other things hap
pened. The frost the other night
slaughtered a lot of Bermuda grass.
The water tank overflowed and carried
coating of mud down on the thir
teenth putting green. The best horse
used In working th? golf course died.
And so it has gone.
GEORGE OLIVER, BIRMINGHAM.
That the delegation of golfers from
various parts of the South to the com
ing Southern Golf Association cham
pionship In Atlanta will stack up pretty
close to the original estimate of 130
starters seems to be Indicated by the
recent returns.
If the tournament had been held two
weeks later and at the time when the
local club asked for It, the course would
have been In considerably better con
dition than it will be on Wednesday
when the tournament begins. But at
that, the local links will be in much
better condition than seemed possible a
couple of months ogo, and good enough
to justify the promise made last fall—
that the local course would be the best
over which a Southern championship
was ever played.
A little dope on the Memphis dele
gation can be secured from a letter sent

Harrod Newland, one of Memphis' most

CRACKERS COP
BOTH BATTLES
Memphis dropped both games of the
Federal Memorial Day double-header
at Ponce DeLeon Park yesterday after
noon, after as pretty a pair of contests
as you would see In a thousand years.
The .'scores were: Atlanta, 4; Mem
phis, 2; and Atlanta, 1; Memphis, 0
(ten Innings).
Rube Zeller pitched both games for
Atlanta and made' a truly marvellous
showing.
Bills, who opposed him all the way,
was wild by spells and these attacks
cost hint both games. He weakened
slightly at the end of the first game and
allowed two nice hits by Crackers at a
critical time.
The last game looked like an endless
tie. but with two men down In the last
half of the tenth, Becker was hit by the
ball and want safe to first. Then
George Winters lilt a smoker which
would have been good for four bases
except for the fact that Becker canto
home with. the winning run and ended
the game befor* "Ginger" had reached
third.
The scoree:
First Game.

to the feet that the battle between
Schreck and Hart, which occurred here
last night, waa a good one, it wa* In-

paaaed from one man to another. Each
threw taunta nnd Inaultlng remark*
that would have been excuae enough
for a fight In any town. Theae re-
marka Infuriated the men and made
them throw science to the wlnda and
Ilort** tactlca took 8chreck off hla
feet at flrat, hut he quickly recovered
and succeeded thereafter In ducking
Hart’a swings. In the twentieth the
Dutchman went In to finish # things.
Hart waa on the ropes moat of the time
In thla round, and though he came hack
gamely, he waa ‘ all In’* when the gong
sounded.
Schreck flew ut Hurt like a tiger, and
Hart was unable to raise hla hands In
defense. Suddenly n towel was flung
from Hart’* corner Into the ring and
George Siler pointed to Schreck as the
winner. , ,
After the fight Hart's right hand was
examined by a locat doctor, who said
(hat two of the small bones at the
back of the right hand had been frac
tured. Hart declares he wants - —
turn match.
