16 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. The box score follows: New Orleans, ab. r. h. po. n. e.

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 PLAY FOR SOUTHERN GOLF HONORS LAWRENCE EUGTIS. This star New Orleans player has won for three years In succession the prize offered by the Southern Golf Association for the man mak ing the lowest score In the qualify ing round* 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. The results of Thursday's matches follow: ^Holder defeated LlndJley 4 up and 5 to play. JUNOR GATE CITY.

Rattling good baseball will be on tap on the three Commercial League dia monds Saturday afternoon. 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 for the Sun Proofs. MOXIE MANUEL.
