( 1 j'HE ATT.ANV.A GEORGIAN AND NEWS. TCEKIJA Y, .j uJNiii 11,1; m. CRACKERS ARE VERY BUSY IN FARTHEST ARKANSAS NOT NEWS, BUT VIEWS When it comes to picking: up the team bodily and lifting it over the finishing line, winner by an eye-lash, the late lament ed “Snapper” Garrison sinks into puny insignificance when com pared to our old college chum, William Smith. ’.The number of seventh, eighth and ninth inning rallies that the Crackers have pulled off for him this year is something slightly more than numerous. And none has beaten that fancy performance of Monday af ternoon. With the score 4 to 1 in the first inning in favor of those pesky Travelers it looked like pretty stormy doings for Atlan ta. But Castleton proceeded to settle down and the Atlanta bat ters pulled together and before the finish came the Crackers had another game. SPORTING PAGE EDITED BY PERCY H.

O O O O Cincinnati, Ohio, June 11.—The O Of course Memphis won, too. That’s getting chronic with those Babblers. If Atlanta wins they win. If Atlanta loses they lose. However, if they keep that up all the season and the other teams behave themselves, Atlanta will win the pennant. O national baseball commlaalon has O O decided to postpone decisive action O O In the Juke Stahl cage, but came O O to the conclusion to take It up by O O the end of next week and render O O Its verdict. 0 0 It Is reported to the commls- O O slon that the Chicago American O O League team never tendered to O O Stahl a contract. This puts an O O entirely new phase on the ques- O O tlon. O 00000000000000400000000000 And win or lose it’s a peach of a race, isn’t itf It is encotiraging to learn that the story that Xaahvilh/ had transferred a game to New Orleans was a mistake on the part of the gentleman who wrote fhe story. That helps some. Some time ago we “riz to inquire” if this transferring-of- games business was to be on tap again this year and after a con siderable period of waiting we get the answer—in the negative. Tho end of the transferring games evil has doubtless come in the South. Atlanta and Birmingham have won their fight. Hereafter if New Orleans wins the pennant tho Pelicans will do it because they have the bhst team (barring rubber balls) and not because the weaker clubs are forced to play more than their share of games on Prank’s back-yard. This is onetime where the best interests of the sport won out over the commer cial end. Chandler Signed Again As Macon's Utility Catcher Macon. Ga., June 11.—Chandler, who was released by the Macon manage ment at the opening of the season, has again been signed by Perry Llpe. Chandler will work as a utility catch er until Jack Robinson Is back In the v-nlsh. who le now working behind the bat for Macon, Is putting up an ex. cellent game of ball and throwing bases In great style. Robinson, who had one of his Angers broken In a game lost week, Is still on the bench and will likely remain there for several weeks. "Bobble's" Anger Is In a bad condition and at present giv ing him a great deal of pain. nil Preparations Make For Tech Seniors-Faculty Game ZELLER LEADS LEAGUE; GASKILL DROPS A BIT What pitcher leads the league? Answer—alt together and In a loud tone of voice: RliBE ZELLER! The tall, slight gentleman from the state of Pennsylvania—the Individual with a smile like a wall-eyed pike and a mild and sunny disposition! He Is the very man. And he pitches for Atlanta. And yet, do you know, until Monday's games were out of ‘he way, one Prince Gasklll, of the comparatively unimpor tant burg of Shreveport, held that cov eted position? However, a slight accident happened ‘‘The Prince" Monday and he has skidded down a few steps on the ladder of twirling fame. (P. S.—Mixed metaphors allowed by special request.) Weems, of Montgomery, Is among the select few.. The Auburn pitcher has won both his games thus far. Nelson, of Nashville, has won his only game; Ely, of Nashville, did as well, and so did Torry, of Shreveport. However, these one-game arUsts do not count.

College Park, Ga., June 10.—The Royal Insurance team, one of the fast est amateur organizations In the city, defeated the Decatur team Saturday afternoon In an exciting ten-inning game, by the score of 12 to 6. The game was characterized throughout by squabbling. Bnrlll did most of the twirling for Decatur, but was replaced by Reese In tho eighth. Roy Hendec finished the game for Decatur and did his part well. Park and Camp did the twirling for the Royals, the former retiring In the fourth on account of wildness. The Decatur t»*nm secured only four hits off 'amp’s delivery In six innings. The game was tied up at the end of the ninth, Decatur making one run In the eighth, but was untied again In the tenth, the Royals making six runs. There \vas much heavy hitting on the part of the Royals, E. Lockhart getting two home runs and Camp getting a sin gle and a three-bagger.

Woods played with Toronto In the Eastern League last year. WHITTIER WANTS GAMES. To the Sporting Editor Georgian: The \\’hlttlcr Mills baseball team desires very much to arrange games with any amateur ball team In or around Atlanta. We have un excellent ground of our own at Chattahoochee, and a fairly good team, as we have played to date seven games ami lost only two. Our first opening Is June 22, and we would like to arrange games for each Saturday thereafter through out the season. Would be glad to confer with any of the baseball managers. Call At lanta 'phone 414 for games. J. R. SISK, Manager. Some people wonder, why pitchers who pitch good ball can’t win games, but the answer is easily reached through dissection of Handsome Harry .McIntyre’s record In the National League with Brooklyn this year, as it shows that the Brooklyn club has made the phantom-ltke total o{ three runs In six games pitched by Big Mac this season. According to expert figuring, this Is an average of half a run per game, which may have been beaten had Brooklyn batted hard enough to hang a record of three-quarters of a run per game. Mike Finn’s tip is Atlanta by a nlade. The Irishman with the upholstered mus tache figures that Billy Smith’s people should nose out all contenders with the demon Zeller traveling at such a rapid clip and the entire club so well bal anced. Mike was not keen about pass ing out dope on Nashville’s outlook. He figured the home guard was still u bit uncertain, with possibilities of landing high up and also the chance to break into a streak of luck and tumble. “It’s the best race we’ve ever had,” com mented the Little Rock mogul, “and there i*n’t a team in the circuit out classed."—Nashville Tennessean.

In the fltfh, with the score tied, "two and two,” and one man on base, Houston drove the ball Into deep center for three bases. Houston scored on Rho- ton's hit to second. Fully 1,000 people witnessed yester day's game. The day was a perfect one, and the Interest shown was re markable. Jacksonville Is here for three more games, and It Is up to Macon to "cop" all three and land In first place.

Is not very much pleased over the criticism he received In connection with the proposed change In the Southern League salary agreement. Fisher claims that Presi dent Dickerson, of the Atlanta club, was the first one to mention the change. He says that he only aald It would be beneficial to the clubs. Special to The Georgian. Little Rock, Ark., June 11.—The Fire crackers defeated the locals on their home grounds here Monday afternoon after a hard and close game. Score, Atlanta 6, Little Rock 4. Mike Finn, of the local bunch, sent In a young pitcher named Wheeler, and he put up good ball to the seventh Inning, when he weakened, and after walking two men Finn yanked him out of the box. Buchanan was sent In to stem the tide. But the Firecrackers made three runs In the seventh and overhauled the big lead secured by the locale In the first Inning. Castleton pitched good ball for the visitors In all but one Inning. In the first Inning he was batted rather free ly. but after that the locals could do nothing with hts puzzling curves. It was thought that the game would be a runaway affair for the Arkansas boys In the first, but the tide turned for the Firecrackers In the "lucky sev enth.” Dyer was out of the game Monday and Billy Smith presented a somewhat weakened line-up. Sweeney was sent In to catch and 8ld Smith went In to his old position at third base. Rube Zeller or Spade will probably pitch this afternoon, and whichever It may be the game should be inter esting.
