THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. FRIDAY, JUNE 7,1907.
BASEBALL AND GOLF SESSIONS ARE NEAR THEIR END
SPORTING PAGE EDITED BY
PERCY H. WHITING
PELICANS ARE SOMEWHAT CRIPPLED,
BUT THEY WON IN SPITE OF THAT
Atlanta lost to Charity Frank and [Winter* to Smith to Jordan, Atz to
ilia famous "rubber ball artist*" on
Thursday afternoon, score 4 to 0. Man
uel pitched a good game for the visitor*
and was touched for only four hits.
The Atlanta and New Orleans play
ers seemed a little more friendly this
year than last. During the season of
1906 the Atlanta and New Orleans
players were the bitterest of rivals.
Each hated the sight of the other.
But Thursday the players chatted to
gether as friends and the feud which
resulted from the "rubber ball" charges
and Otto Jordan's now historic ride In
the patrol wagon seems to be at an end.
Our old friend Matty Matthew's
was out at the game Thursday, but
although he'didn't take part, he could
be heard and seen on the coaching line.
It seemed a shame to let those crip
pled Pelicans take that game. The
club was In a slightly pickled condition.
Nadeau and Gatins sprained their
ankles about a week ago and neither
baa been In condition to play. Rlckert
has been out of the game for two
weeks, and It Is expected that he will
be out another week at least. But In
spite of those blighting Incidents, the
Pelicans played great ball and were
troublesome from start to finish.
Rowan pitched a good game for the
(locals, as only six hits were made off
him. If the Atlanta players had batted
as usual Rowan would have won his
game.
Dyer made the first hit of the game
for the local crew In the third by
doubling to left. His hit was of no use
to the local outfit, however, ns Fox filed
out to center field and ended the Inning.
Paskert also mnde n two-bagger In
the seventh—the second of the game,
and stole third a moment later. Pusk-
ert's hit w'os flxxlcd also, us the next
batter filed out.
The locals mnde somewhat of a rally
In the ninth, but to no advantage. With
one down Winters and Hinlth singled In
succession. Jordan hit to Atz and a
double play resulted, Atx to Gatins to
Babrle.
The New Orleans team put up a good
article of ball, despite their crippled
condition. Jakey Atz's playing was ex
ceptionally good.

C ONFIDENTIAL LOANS
ON VALUABLES.
Our old friends up in the big Irnifiies were tearing loose
Thursday . “Dutchy” fjiebhardt pitched a shut out game against
New York for one thing. The Iron Man let the Yankees down
with Rix hitterinos.
For another thing Nap Rucker figured in a fifteen inning tie,
pitching f<jf Brooklyn against Cincinnati. Strieklett, however,
pitched part of the game.
And last hut not least Jimmy Aril caught in a winning
game against Boston.
That Memphis team is certainly acting in the most accom
modating manner. It apilird a gain 'again Thursday just in time
to keep Atlanta from losing the lead in the race.
Thanks, Charley Babb. Keep up the good work.
Sum Weems, the Auburn pitcher,* got away with n queer
performance Thursday. He pitched for 'Montgomery ngainst
Shreveport, allowed 16 hits and won. The Pirates only managed
to convert their 16 hits into 4 rum while Montgomery piled up
11 runs on 13 hits.
Iairry Lajdie’s team in making n lu-lu race in the American,
lie and his cohorts have the Chicago crew pulling for their lives
and it looks ns though the Naps were due to go to the front be
fore the finish.
The wind-up of the Crackers’present stay at home is near at
hand and on Saturday night Billy and the bunch pull out for
Memphis, Little Rock and other “points West and South.”
However, filings do not look ns had ns they did before the
last Western trip. The team is tin good condition, the men are go
ing strong, nil the pitchers are working well nnd it looks as
though Atlanta will he able to escape from the West again in as
good shape as last time.
The day of the veteran golfer seems to he pnst in the South.
The seasoned performers who have figured in the semi-finals
and finals in years pnst have had to give way this year to the ju
venile contingent.
In the semi-finals of the golf tournament now in progress at
East Lake are two hoys still ill their teens, one othei^ decidedly
youthful player mid only one member of the “old guard.”
This is a rather encouraging sign and lends to the hope that
before long some Southern golfer will be able to go to the United
States Golf Association championship and cut some figure—
something that no Southern golfer has done in the past.
NEW ORLEANS AND BIRMINGHAM MEN

THE MAN WHO WON.
WAS RAYMOND SOLD?
OR WHAT HAPPENED?
‘Buga" Raymond, the same old er
ratic, welrd-looklng case as of yore,
blew Into Atlanta Thursday and un
corked the news that lie was going te
pitch for the Chlcugo Americans.
Dispatches from Charleston, where
"Hugs'* Is supposed to have a Job, how
ever, Indicate that Raymond Is only
going to Chicago for a short trip.
Here Is the Charleston end of It:
Hjiei Ini In The (ieonlmi.
Charleston. H. C. June 7.—The owo-
ers of the Charleston baseball team
strenuously deny that they are going
_ . lt .to sell Raymond to the Chicago N«-
.Jecatur 8t. Kimball House, tlonal team for $l.r»oo. which sum they
..rgilns In Unredeemed Diamonds, do not deny has been offered by Mc-
Closky to Matthews. President Harris
said today that the Charleston fans had
put up the money with which to buy
Raymond from Jackson, Miss., nnd
that It would not be right to sell him,
when he Is needed here badly. Ray
mond Is the premier pitcher of the Sal
ly League, and has won eighteen games
for Charleston out of twenty-one
which he has pitched.
What Charleston will do for a pitch
er. with Raymond at home In Chicago
for an Interesting event In Ills family,
Is not known at Charleston Just now.
Pitcher Wright has refused to play
here, and Buchanan Is not wanted es
pecially. The fans of Charleston wijl
put up the money for another good
pitcher. Ruymond expects to he with
the team again In a couple of weeks
When the last couples came home
Thursday night In almost total dark
ness a counting of noses revealed the
fact that only New Orleans and Birm
ingham players were left to fight it out
for the golf championship of the South.
Georgia had a. chance till long after
sunset, for Andrew Manson. of Darien,
was playing a corking game agatnst
Will Ward, of Birmingham, and It
looked as though the twice-champion
were going to get away with the match.
But, with everything square on the
seventeenth, the Birmingham player
took the last hole and the match, after
a struggle for w'hlch the stars served
the chief Illumination.
That left Will Ward and Bobby
Thatch, Jr., of Birmingham, and Nelson
Whitney and Lawrence Rust Is, of New
Orleans, In the semi-final round.
Kustls reached the semi-finals by de
feating Pollard, of Houston, In the
morning, and his own team mate,
Brooke, In the afternoon. Thatch, Jr.,
defeated Lurton, of Nashville, In the
morning round and Stauffer, of New
Orleans, In the afternoon. This Juvenile
phenomenon Is playing marvelous golf
for a boy Just out of short trousers and
has won his way to the semi-finals by
defeating seasoned performers.
Whitney beat Heard In the morning
nnd Jack Edrington In the afternoon,
nnd Ward defeated Gwaltney in the
morning and Manson In the afternoon.
AtlantA'a last hope for the champion
ship went wrong In the morning, when
F. G. Byrd was defeated by Jack Ed
rington. of Memphis. Both men are
wonderfully good players and put up a
cracking fight.
In the afternoon Byrd got away with
Heard In fine style, returning a score
of 40-44-84, the best of the tournament.
The end of the second round found a
few Atlantans still In the running. W.
P. Hill, who has been playing excellent
golf, won both his matches In the Dixie
lllght nnd reached the semi-finals. P.
T. Marye lost his morning round to Hill,
but won In the afternoon and reached
the next-to-last round In good style for
the Junior Dixie cup.
The only other Atlantan left was F.
W. Stone, who lost his morning round
In the Gate City flight, but defeated
Poay, of Little Rock, In the afternoon
round.
The weather during the day was Ideal
and the scores were much better than
those made In the qualifying round.
Tommy Watson, of Birmingham, was
playing a corking good game and made
84 In the morning and 85 In the after
noon, wiilch Is doubtless the 36-holo
record of the course. Hilliard made an
86 when he defeated George Oliver, of
Birmingham, against Oliver’s 89.

Rattling good baseball will be on tap

The grouping of the games in the
schedule has thrown the league leaders
against the league tall-enders nnd In
consequence the cellar champions have
a chance to pull out of tne hole. The
Southern States Electric Company
team Is counted on to make nn espe
cially good showing against the Beck
& Gregg bunch, which team now leads
the league.
At the request of both managers, the
Sun Proof-Southern Railway game has
been transferred to Gammage Crossing.
Here are some contributions from the
press agent for the Sun Proofs:
Last Saturday was the first game
Redwlne and Nowell, of the Sun Proofs,
have played this season without getting
a hit. Both promise to be high up
among the leaders with the stick at the
close of the season.
Rice and Wall are playing fine ball
