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.

That little prince and the Rube per formance out In Shreveport Thursday 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 of the eeason for Old Reliable. The line-up used Thursday was somewhat better than the combination In effect while the team was In Lit tle Rock. Dyer was back in the game and Sid Smith went behind the bat on<e more. 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 patch that was sent out from Colum bus to a Birmingham paper. The special In question follows; Columbus. Miss., June 12.—Bernle McCay, manager of the Mobile team In the Cotton States League, has been re instated by President Compton. Mc Cay. after being put out of the game at Jackson, and after being put off the ground, climbed on the roof of a near by house and continued to abuse the umpire until the end of the game. His reinstatement considerably strength ened Mobile. Huber, of Columbus, who has been out of the game for two weeks, played a good game at short for Columbus today, making two double plays unassisted. Mobile leaves for Gulfport tonight. R0Y8T0N WIN8. Special to The Georgian. Royston, Ga„ June 14.—Royston de feated the Southern Railway team here' Tuesday afternoon In a very pretty and Interesting game. Royston played: errorless ball, and their opponents made only two bobbles. The batteries- were: For Royston, Cox and J. Brown: for Southern Railway, Dodgen and Wlngo. Hits off Cox «, off Dodgen 7. Bases on balls, off . Cox 1, off Dodgen 2. Strck out, by. Cox 1*. by Dodgen ?. ’ The score was 7 to' J. The earns teams were to have played another, ie, which was called bff on account , funeral In the city. Royston plays Hartwell on the latter'a grounds Wedl neaday and Thursday, and two hot games are expected. The Chicago White Sox defeated the New York Americans Thursday after noon. The game waa tied up In th* ninth and the White Sox scored one run on a hit, a sacrifice and another hit and won the game. 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: Bstting. Games. AB. R. H.

Both number their supporters and rooters by the score and both will turn them out In full force for this game, which gives promise of being one of the really decisive battles of the league race. Of course either team may lose It and still win the-pennant or neither team may cop the rag. But right now all the players on the two teams feel that this game will settle It.

However, any team which defeats the Sun Proofs must hurry.

However, since the Southern States Electric Company team threw the harpoon Into Beck A Gregg It is Look out for rip-snorting baseball In the Commercial League Saturday. For the Beck A Gregg team and the . Kutz team, both of which are tied for the league leadership, will meet on the and to be pulled off.

Grist on first Is one of the best In the league.. The following correction Is made by Manager Winn, of the M. Kuts tesm: The beautiful throw from the field- In the Kuts-Koca Nota game played last Saturday, which was credited to Sar- torlus. should have gone to Huddleston. Through a mistake of numbers In the score book this error occurred. Snr- torius has the ability and throwing arm to manipulate such plays, but In this case the opportunity was not af forded. W. A.
