While In Little Rock, Manager Smith

Smith said that the president ex

STATE AUTOMOBILE ASSOCIATION
SOON TO BE FORMED IN GEORGIA
Senate Killt 2-Cent Fare.
Mild loon, Wle., June 14.—The state
aenato hits killed the Hunting bill, re
quiring the railroads to grant a llat 2-
cent pasaonger fare. The vote was
21 to 6.
“Emmons for Quality.’
The automoblllata of Georgia are go
ing to organise.
Fear of harsh legislation against mo
torists and the desire for an organisa
tion for protection and for the further
ance of the Interests of motor car own.
will bring them together in a state
automobile organization.
The plans of this body are set forth
In a letter from J. M. Nye, of the Capi
tal City Automobile Company, which Is
being sent out to the auto owners of
the state. It follows:
Atlanta, Ga.. June 14, 1907.
Gentlemen: On May 2 a meeting of
the automobllists of Atlanta was held
In the garage of the Capital City Auto
mobile Company, at which meeting an
organization was started, to be known
as the Georgia State Automobile As
sociation. At this meeting temporary
officers and committeemen were elected,
who have been canvassing the automo
bile field of Atlanta and Georgia, so
that when the time did arrive they
would be able to perfect a permanent
organization.
The committee upon arrangements
for the permanent organization of this
association have been able to get the
chairman of the highway committee of
the American Automobile Association,
Mr. Robert P. Hooper, to visit Atlanta.
He will be in Atlanta on Friday, June
14. at which time there will be held a
meeting in the assembly room of the
Piedmont Hotel, where we will meet
Mr. Robert P. Hooper, and he will in
struct us further as to the permanent
organization of the State Automobile
Association.
We would be pleased to have you
there to meet Mr. Hooper, and become
a member of this organization. No
doubt you have read In the papers in
the last week or ten days of the laws
that are being drawn up to present to
the next legislature in relation to the
legislation against automobiles, and it
Is high time a State Automobile Asso
ciation were organized, that we may
combat any unjust legislation that
seems to be well on foot to be placed
at the next legislature. Yours very
truly. J. M. NYE, Secy.
Shreveport, La., June 14.—There was
a battle of pitching giants here yes
terday afternoon when Rube Zeller
and Prince Gaskill clashed for the
pitching championship of the South
ern League.
If Zeller had won the game he would
have retained his hold on the first
pitching honors of the league. As he
didn't, the young Texan goes to the
front, and Zeller, pride of Ponce De
Leon, drops down to second place.
Score, 6 to 0.
The one run in the fourth was
enough to beat Zeller and his team
mates, but the real trouble came be
fore that. In the second Inning a bad
case of the wobbles hit the Atlanta
team, and before the disorder was
shaken off four Shreveporters had
tallied.
With one out, Zeller passed Graf-
fius. Then Clark sent a long fly to
Paskert and this wonder performed the
unexpected and dropped it. King
soaked a three-bagger and Grafflus
and Clark scored. Fisher singled and
King scored. Then Gaskill sent one
out to Winters, which the veteran
dropped. This allowed Fisher to go to
third and Warrender “squeezed” him
home.
It will readily be observed that with
the usual Atlanta fielding Shreveport
would not have scored many runs, and
that lumpy support marred Zeller's
record.
But Gaskill had the Crackers abso
lutely buffaloed and swinging at every
thing but the ball. He struck out ev
ery man on the team except Winters
and Dyer, and allowed only six hits,
none of which came in time to do any
good.
In consequence the finish of the At
Janta aggregation was always in plain

That little prince and the Rube per

looked from here like a tragedy.
Whoever heard of Paskert and Win
tars making errors the same day?
That mlecue of Winters' was the first

The line-up used Thursday was
somewhat better than the combination

and Sid Smith went behind the bat

Was McCay suspended or waa he
not? Over In the Cotton States they
say he was. But anyway he has been
reinstated. Or at least this Is the dis

All the Dope on the Pitching Performances
Of Rube Zeller, Atlanta’s Star Pitcher
Rube Zeller certainly has a
careless disregard for the feel
ings of the sporting depart
ment.
Here we go doping out a
fancy story, telling what a
great pitcher he Is. and Rube
goes and spills a game to
Shreveport.
However, here's the story
anyhow:
By CLIFFORD.
Of all the pitchers In the Southern
League, Rube Zeller Is the one most
likely to be sold to the majors this fall,
and the man most likely to make good
when he gets up among the big guys.
Kube Joined the Atlanta tenm the
latter part of the season of 1905, and
hla work has been steadily Improving
his first appearance. That year
he pitched 12 games, winning 8 and
losing 4. Per cent .666.
While In Atlanta Zeller has made
good records In pitching, fielding and
batting—ahem!—except batting.
During the senson of 1905 Zeller bat.
ted at the alarming rate of .324. He
swatted ’em out at a rate of .106 for
the season of 1906 and up to the pres
ent time he has batted .071 for this
season.
Taken as a whole, his batting aver
age is not so bad. Several pitchers In
the league have worse batting eyes
than Rube. And there are some regu
lar players also that are batting almost
that bad. Besides, any fan will excuse
the batting of a pitcher as long as he
pitches good hall.
Talking about pitching good ball,
Zeller certainly has been pitching since
his debut In Atlanta. During the sea
son of 1905 his average was .666, and
In 1906 his average was also .666. This
year his average Is much better, for
at present he Is second In the league,
with the swell per cent of .760, Up
Thursday's game nobody had n!
headed, but GaskiU's victory sends him
to the front.
Zeller is a good fielder, and can al
ways be relied upon to field any old
kind of hit or bunt.
Zeller came to Atlanta In the latter
part of the season of 1905, practically
unknown to the baseball fans. But to
day, ask any one in Atlanta and he or
she—man or woman, boy or girl—who
knows anything about baseball will tell
you that Zeller Is the beat pitcher In
the Southern League.
Zeller will probably not be with us
next year. He has pitched great ball
this year, and some major league man
ager will either buy him before the
season is out or draft him at the end of
the year.
Besides pitching a no-hit game this
season, Zeller has pitched a one-hit
game, which he lost in Nashville on an
error. Zeller has probably pitched more
one-hit, two-hit. three-hit and four-hit
games than any other pitcher in the
Southern League.
He hardly ever pitches a six or eight.
hit game. Barring a mild tendency
toward faint-heartedness, Rube Is the
Ideal pitcher. He has the best of hab
its, always keeps In good condition and
Is ready to go In and pltoh at a mo
ment's notice.
Zeller usually pitches two games a
week. He takes his regular turn on the
■lab and pitches a double-header every
time he Is allowed to. Whenever Billy’s
In a hole and wants to win a game
right bail, he calls on Zeller to pitch.
Zeller always performs nobly and usu
ally pulls Bill out of said hole.
We herewith present all Zeller's rec
ords from the time .he came to Atanta
up to the present time:
