THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. SATURDAY, JUNE 29, 1907.
ALL THE NEWS OF THE BASEBALL AND SPORTING WORLDS
CRACKER? LOSE A HARD FOLIillT GAME
TO TOE COAL BARONS, OF BIRMINGHAM
NOT NEWS, BUT VIEWS
Nashville, Tenn., June 29.—This business of having even such
a thing as “views” here at the fag-end of a strenuous vacation,
is “ Dumpin' fierce.”
When the regular grind is “on” it is a positive relief to sit
down and turn out a bunch of “views”'—and usually a man can
land in an idea or so to every half mile of it.
The lucky tans of this city have it on Atlanta Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday of next week, for the Crackers are up
here then. And they arc looking forward to some pretty giddy
baseball.
Nashville fans seem to like our team. They think that we
have a lot of good players and they aro glad to see them per
form. The Crackers are popular here and the residents of this
burg will patronize these cvming sessions well.
Thursday there is a renewal of hostilities at Ponce DeLeon.
And say, if there isn’t a pippin-crowd July Fourth then
don’t we all miss our gesst The Crackers have been showing
the people of the South something about attendance figures this
year and July 4 is the day when Atlanta is going to frazzle all
previous figures for holiday crowds.
So come early if you expect to avoid the rush.
Another good sporting event of the week will be the South
ern tennis championship.
A genernl hunch on the probable outcome can best bo se
cured by perusing the figures ground out by the players here.
But one thing you can be sure of. Nat Thornton will show
to better advantage on his home courts than he did in Nashville.
Ilis defeat in the very first round was a sad disappointment to
Atlanta tennis enthusiasts, but they can take it from us that
Thornton will surprise some of them yet.
This Atlanta tournament ought to be a first class affair in
every way and it will surely attract to the Gate City the best
tennis players in the South.
Unless the trap shooting tournament is rounded up for At
lanta and unless the Atlanta baseball team happens to cop the
rag then this is the last real championship event of the year in
Atlanta.
With the golf championship and the tennis championship out
of the way the Atlanta Athletic Club will bo able to settle down
to the enjoyment of their beautiful property; and to the building
of the new club house.
Of course there will be a club championship ami a Trayvick
tournament affair in the yvay of golf, besides yveokly tourna
ments;, and thero will be the club championship at tennis; but
in the main the excitement is over.
And we yvho are interested in all sport can therefore set
tle back to the keen enjoyment of tho race for the rag in the
Southern League.
Right now tho contest is just as good as the best ever seen
in the South—and that’s pretty fair.
And very soon yvo are to know if tho Eastern clubs will be
successful in dislodging Memphis from tho lead when the Babb
lers hit this aeotion of the civilised world.
And we certainly plead guilty to hoping that the East can
make large dents in tho well-protected anatomy of Charley
Babb’s Boauties. i
Chesty Charles will find the East waiting for hom yvitli open
arms—and all tho arms loaded.
Ho will find Montgomery and Birmingham pln.ving better
ball than the last time he was "in our midst,” Nashville doing
very yvcll, thank you; and Atlanta ready to complete the work
of slaughter.
If Babb can bring his team into the East and yvin a good
majority of games—and then repeat it the next time through—
well, sve might as well kiss good-by all our' hopes for the flag.
But if Babb can be stopped in the East then things look good for
Atlanta.
Gentlemen of the Birmingham, Nashville, Montgomery and
Atlanta teams: —
IT IS UP TO YOU.
ZENDER SAYS MATTHEWS
IS A DIRTY PLAYER
Sporting JCdltor Zrnder of The
Shreveport Time*, who, It 1* claimed,
was assaulted by Matthews of the New
Orleans club, says the following of
•‘Matty,** the Pelican catcher:
“Of all the dirty, rowdy players that
ever disgraced a diamond, Harry Mat
thew** Is undoubtedly the limit. In the
opinion of the Shreveport fans. He has
always seemingly enjoyed the notoriety
that hls brutal tactics have brought
him, but one of these fair days he is
going to run up against a snug. Yes
terday Matthews Jumped at Carr with
both feat, in an attempt to steal second.
He was out eaplly, but had the play
been a close one. Johnny would have
been badly spiked. Every fan on tho
grounds was up In arms at once, and
If Carr hadn’t wisely curbed hls temper
and neglected to start a veiy strong
argument, Pug Matthews would have
been severely handled. For the funs
would have welcomed the opportunity
to pull,off a stunt that would have
made police Interference necessary.
Players of the Matthews stripe have
no place In the game. They belong
down In the Bowery or somo other
place where a man's finer senses never
huve an opportunity to develop.
Matthews has an ounce of gray matter
In that elephant-like cranium of hls,
he Is going to take a tumble to him
self and be mighty decent and re
spectable In his actions on the local
lot In the future."
Matthews played with Atlnnta for a
long while about three seasons ago
and was then considered one of the
best catchers In the Southern League.
Matthews is a good fielder. He was
also a game thrower to bases, but Is
not much of a batter.
TWO NEW YORKERS IN
THE TENNIS TOURNAMENT
Two crack New York tennis players
have entered the Southern tennis tour
ney which will be held In Atlanta.
Wiley C. Grant and H. S. Westfall,
of New York, are crack tennis players
and those In charge of the meet were
pleased when they received a letter
from them stating that they would
come to Atlanta and compete with the
Southern players.
8. G. Grant, father of Wiley Grant,
has also entered the meet. Wiley Grant
is a good tennis player and has been
playing the game eight years. Mr.
Grant held the Indoor tennis champion
ship for three years.
Westfall Is considered a good tennis
player. Grant and Westfall will enter
the tournament as a double team; they
will also compete In the singles.
The grandstand at East Lake
that attend the meet
An admission of 25 cents will be
charged those who go to the play.
Birmingham, Ala., June 29.—The lo
cals defeated the Firemen here Friday
afternoon in a well played game of ball,
Score 4 to 3.
Bob Spade, the former South Atlan
tic League star, occupied the slab for
the Crackers and was touched up for
9 safe hits by the Coal Barons. Little
"Eva" Wilhelm, the star slabman of
the Birmingham team during the sea
son of 1906, was on the firing line for
the locals and was also batted for 9
hits. Wilhelm kept the hits off lilm
very well scattered and won hls game.
Spade pitched a good game and so
did Wilhelm, and to say that Wilhelm
or Spade pitched the better game
would do each pitcher an Injustice.
Spade pitched good ball and so did
Wilhelm, each trying hls best to win
the cohtest, Wilhelm finally getting
away with the game.
Friday's game went ten innings.
Demont, the former Atlanta player,
scored the winning run of the game for
the Coal Barons In the tenth Inning.
Demontreville walked and scored on a
wild throw to first when C, Smith hit
an easy grounder to the Infield.
The Crackers’ two errors greatly aid
ed the Barons In winning' Friday’s
game. The Firemen should have won
Friday’s game and they would have
won the contest had it not been for
those two errors.
Sid Smith, the Crackers’ catcher, was
the hitting kid Friday. He made three
hits out of five times at bat. Sidney
secured the longest hit of the after
noon—a triple to center field.
"Ginger" George Winters w*as back
In harness Friday and played a swell
game in the outfield. Winters secured
two hits out three times at bat. Win
ters also got an assist from the out
field, which Is a rare thing.
Gene Demont was hit on the head by
a pitched ball in the tenth inning of
Friday’s game and for awhile It was
feared that he had been seriously in
jured. He revived In a few minutes,
however, and went to first base and
a moment later scored tho winning run
of the game.
The Crackers played in hard luck
Friday, and should they had any sort
of luck breaking their way they would
hays won the . game in handy style.
The Barons had the best of luck and
they made a much better showing than
did their Eastern friends.
The Invention not only makes It im
possible for two trains to come togeth.
er either by rear-end or head-on col
lisions but it permits of messages, both
telegraphic and telephonic being sent
from swiftly moving tralfis.
The locals scored the first run of the
game, and, by the way, they also scored
the last run of the contest. Big "But
termilk" Meeks knocked a screaming
two-bagger to left field and was ad
vanced to third on Lew Walters’ single
to left field. Alcock, the locals’ star
utility man, stung the ball for a single
to center and scored Meeks, but Wal
ters was caught off second and tagged.
Alcock stole second and scored a mo
ment later when Gardner hit safe to
left field for two bags.
The Crackers scored tfielr first run
ini the fifth Inning. Dyer singled and
so did Spade. Becker hit to short and
Spade was forced out at the keystone
sack. Winters singled to right, Dyer
tallied and Becker advanced to third.
Sid Smith, who. It Is said, will marry
In a short time, and who, by the way.
Is getting to be somewhat of a pinch
hitter, singled past short and BUI Dyer
scored.
In tha seventh Inning "Ginger" Win
ters was given a free pass to first and
scored when Sid Smith tripled to cen
ter. This put the Firemen In the lead,
but they did not hold it long, as the
locals scored again In the ninth, tying
the score in a knot.
Alcock hit to left for two bags In the
ninth inning and the crow*d almost
went wild. Gardner was hit by a
pitched ball. Garvin then singled and
Alcock scored.
The locals made another run in the
tenth Inning, but this has already been
told.
The Firemen and the Barons will
play a double-header here this after
noon, the first game beginning prompt
ly at 2:30 o’clock.
Billy Smith w*ants to win the last
game from the locals, and It Is very
probable that he will pitch Roy Castle-
ton, the gent from New York, this aft
ernoon. Castleton is in good condition
and should make It hot for the Barons
In the first game. Turner will probably
pitch for the locals.
Rube Zeller will. It is said, go In
and do the slab w*ork In the second
game. Reagan will most likely per
form for the locals In. the second con
test
This afternoon will probably see one
of the largest crowds of the season out
to see the Crackers and the Barons
play. The fans of this city are taking
a great interest In the game since the
locals have taken on a winning spurt

Nashville, Tenn., June 29.—From a
Nashville viewpoint the marvellously
good showing of Campbell Pilcher was
the prize feature of the Invitation tour
nament now In progress over the course
of the Nashville Golf and Country Club.
By play of the very strongest order
he has forged ahead to the semi-finals
for the main trophy of the tournament
the Harding Road cup—and is the
only local man left In.
The other semi-finalists In the "big
■how" are Martin, of Chattanooga; Nel
son, of Louisville, and Morrow*, of Mem
phis.
Strange to relate, three of these men
made unusual showings in the recent
Southern championship at Atlanta.
Martin, though a strong player, failed
to qualify at all over the Georgia course
and the other two players squeaked In
the fourth flight. Morrow won the
fourth flight cup In the championship
und Nelson won tho llosers* fourth
flight cup. And the man who put Nel
son. back in the "dubsky division" was
Morrow*. Whether or not history Is to
repeat Itself will bo shown today, for
the men meet In the semi-finals this
morning and fight the battle over again.
-Martin and Pilcher also clinch and
on this match centers the hopes of
Nashville.
All the conditions which combined to
make the tournament a great success
on Wednesday were uncorked again
yesterday and the affair went through
without the slightest hitch. It seemed
Inevitable that there w ould be a lot ‘of
crowding all day because of the fact
that thirty-two matches were sched
uled for the morning and the same
number for the afternoon. But the
first couple got away exactly at 9
o’clock and the last match was finished
shortly after sunset and well before
dark.
The semi-finals In the second flight,
like the first, find one Atlanta man—
Goodloe Llndsley—fighting for a place
In the Inst round. He meets W.
Hill, of Atlanta, a veteran player of
championship caliber, who has once
been a runner-up In a Southern cham
pionship, and the match will be a good
one. The other semi-finalists In this
division are Piepho, of Fort Thomas,
Ky., nnd Whiting, of Atlanta. Monv
phis friends of Piepho are betting four
six that the Kentucky player wins
the tournament.
Two Nashville men are in the third
flight—J. H. Fall, Jr., and Richard Wil
son. The former plays J. Cioik. of
Louisville, In the semi-finals and Wil
son plays W. R. Tlchenor. of Atlanta.
Both matches ought to be good ones.
Jordan Stokes is the sole local repre
sentative In the fourth flight,
plays Armstrong, of Memphis, in the
morning rounds and Thatch vs. Weaver
is the other match.
All of the players who lost In the
...ornlng rounds yesterday went on in
the afternoon for the four "Junior cups."
The first round was pulled off after
lunch and In these events the semi
finals were reached before sunset.
o Nashville men meet In the
Junior eight, first flight. They are
M. H. Lurton. Jr., and S. D. Cowden.
The former plays Squires, of Chatta
nooga. and the latter meets Galbreath,
of Memphis.
In the second flight Daley Is the sole
local representative. He plays Moore,
of Nashville, this morning. The other
pair in this division is Raine. of Mem
phis. against Ward, of Birmingham.
In the Junior eight, third flight, Por
ter and Webb will do the playing for
Nashville. The former will be opposed
by Stuart and the latter by Daniel, of
Memphis.
In the Junior eight, fourth flight,
Nashville has two players, also, Hoyte
and Cooper. They play against each
other In the semi-finals, while Boyd,
of Chattanooga, meets Bryan, of Mem-

phis.
As soon as the morning rounds are
over the winners will settle down to the
final rounds. When these are over the
presentation of the cups will be held.
Larded In with the semi-finals and
finals will be a handicap tournament.
The tournament committee, after nu
merous sleepless hours, worked out a
bunch of handicaps, w*hlch are printed
below*. With these handicaps as a basis
the tournament will be run off during
the day. All men who tpok part In the
tournament, except the finalists, will
be eligible for this event.
The tournament committee especially
asks that all players begin all ifninda
as early as possible, as with semi
finals. finals and handicap on today,
the course will be crowded from be
ginning to end.

Weather Man
Good to Macdfc
Special to The Georgian.
.Macon, Ga.. June 29.—Rain yester
day was probably the only thing that
saved Macon another defeat at the
hands of the Charleston bunch. At
about 3 o'clock It began raining and
never let up until after 6, consequentlv
there was no game. N
The game postponed yesterday y “<r
the first that Macon has had to pos
pone on the home grounds this season.
The weather man In all previous games
has been In Macon's favor, but evident
ly seeing that Macon's chances for win
ning were rather slim, poured down
the rain and saved the day for the
locals.
For some reason, that cannot be ex
plained by any of the Macon fans and
It seems, by Manager Llpe, the Macon
baseball team has gone to rack and
ruin within the past several weeks
On the recent home trip the team de
livered good ball, but as soon as they
left the Central City and took to the
road, things began going against them
and haven't stopped yet. Out of the
' last fifteen games Macon has managed
| to win three. Before that the team
twelve straights, and there cer-
| talnly must be a hoodoo hanging about
some place.
The pitchers are all working in good
shape.
It was largely due to Barkalow's
efforts and good Judgment that
Yale won the largest'attended race
ever rowed on the New London
course.
This race was rowed on June 27,

championship from Rodgers and Rodg-

here Friday afternoon. Score 1-6, 6-3,

The local men* made a poor start in
the first set and were beaten by the
Knoxville team in easy style. Day and
Farrell went after them In the second
set, however, and trimmed them hand
ily.
The third set was a hard-fought one,
the local boys winning only after the
hardest kind of a tussle. The Rodgers
brothers were out for blood and they
made the Nashville boys hustle for
their money.
Day and Farrell won the last and
deciding set. The Knoxville boys
weakened somewhat in the last set.

Cincinnati, in the semi-final match In
