HERE’S THE BOY WHO HITS
If Atlanta can continue to win and Memphis will oblige us
by losing there will not be much to the Southern League race.
Wednesday's double run of luck cut quite a hole in the
famous gap winch the Babblers have manufactured and a little
more of the same will fill in this big hole and put Atlanta back
where she belongs.
If only the Eastern teams will get out of that trance-idea
that Memphis is invincible there will be no trouble in hammer
ing the Babblers when they cut into this Eastern game.
And Nephew Charley Frank gave a little idea of how the,
thing can be done when he soaked Uncle-in-Law Coleman’s team
Wednesday afternoon.
The Crackers are home today and barring rain they will get
a hearty welcome all right.
Last year on July 4 Atlanta turned out a marvelous crowd,
but Birmingham rurned out a larger one. This year poor old
Birmingham is likely to bring up the rear while Atlanta is pretty
certain to have a record breaking attendance.
ALL READY NOW FOR
SQU1RES-BURNS BOUT
By C. E. VAN LOAN.
San Francisco, July 4.—The betting
on the Squires-Burns tight has taken
a turn and the men who favor the
Canadian bat enough money to raise
the price from 10 to 7, where It had
stood for a day to 10 to 8. Much of
this Bums money was wagered by Los
Angeles visitors, who began to arrive
yesterday, and as there were a number
of "syndicate" bets, the weight of their
coin hod Its effect on the odds. Sev
eral bets of $1,000 to $800 were re
corded.
The sales of seats were steady and
Indicate a good house, although It Is
not likely that the attendance will bo
as large as would have been the case
If conditions were more settled.
Tim McGrath will be chief second
of Hqulres. Eddie Hanlon will also
bo In the corner and Russell, Squires'
friend and trainer from Australia, will
assist.
Burns will have Professor Lewis,
George Memslc, George Brown and L.
Keating.
ST. LOUIS MANAGER AFTER
SOUTHERN LEAGUE STARS
(From The Nashville Banner.)
Manager John J. McCloskey, of the
St. Louis Cardinals, Is planning a raid
on the Southern League in quest of
material. He wants two catchers, a
pitcher, an Inflelder and two outfield
ers. Some of the most promising ma
terial ever developed In the national
game has been turned out of the South
ern League, and this season bids fair
' to excel all others In ths quality and
quantity of the players who will pro
gress In their profession, and who hall
from Judge Kavanaugh's natty organt-
. satlon.
In the pitcher's box probably the
twirier that stands out above all others
fs "Rube" Zeller, working for Billy
Smith's Atlanta team. Among others
that might be mentioned are Sorrell
and J. Duggan, of Nashville; Maxwell,
of Montgomery; Bills, of Memphis; Rip
Ragnn, of Birmingham; Gasklll, of
Shreveport, and Eyler, of Little Rock.
There is plenty of good material In
the backstop department. Of these
Hardy, of Nashville; Sid Smith, of At
lanta; Garvin, of Birmingham; Rapp,
of Shreveport, and Seabnugh, of Mont
gomery, are most promising.
The Infield Is probably the South
ern's weakest department, the majority
of the stars being ex-mojor leaguers.
Paskert, the left fielder of the Atlanta
team. Is the most promising candidate
for big lengue honors, while there are
no better In the Southern circuit than
Persons and Wiseman, of the Boosters,
Other outfielders that will bear watch
ing ore Smith, of Birmingham, am)
Houts, of Montgomery.

service. Hart pitched the first game

impossible to figure the count. At that

TWO GAMES JULY FOURTH.
Morning game at 10:30, afternoon 4. Saturday, 5th, Ladies' Day.
NO GAME FRIDAY.
NEAR FINALS
Another day of good weather favored
the Southern Lawn Tennis Association
and the second day of the Southern
championship was even more brilliant
than the first.
Singles, doubles and ladles’ singles
occupied the day and brilliant tennis
as played In many matches.
Day, Howell, Bates and Thornton
all plowed through In good style, and
It begins to bo evident that there will
bo some fierce tennlB when the narrow
ing down comes. In the upper t!.»r the
game Is especially strenuous and the
champion Jh likely to be found there.
One of the most Interesting matches
of the day was that between Grant nnd
Scott, both of Atlanta. The opening
set went to Grant, 8-6. Then Scott
picked up and won the second, 2-6.
The third, however, was Grant's, 6-3.
Another match that went to three
sets was that between Cornelius, of
Memphis, and Orlma, of New Orleans.
The ex-Vanderbilt star took the first
set In fine style, but tired and lost
the next two nnd the match, after an
exciting battle.
Mansfield gave Bates a hard rub In
their match, taking the second set, 8-6.
However, the Inverness star got away
with the match finally, after some bril
liant tennis.
In the doubles the preliminary weed-
Ing-out went on fast. The draw did
not put any of the crack teams against
each other and nothing sensational was
uncorked.
Norton and Cornelius won their
match, Crawford and Van Gilder cop
ped two of theirs, Howell and Smith
won, ho did the Rodgera brothers and
Little and Hates.
An unusually good showing was mode
by Cowan, the youngest player In the
tournament. The little Knoxville chap,
teaming with F. O. Byrd, won his first
match In fine style from Grant and
Dorsey. In the afternoon, however, the
Knoxvllle-Atlunta team lost to Craw
ford and Van Glider, fitter aomo taat
tennis.
The ladles' matches proved Interest
ing as usual. In the preliminary
matches Miss Minor, of New Orleans,
defeated Miss Dunwoody, of Atlanta;
Miss Brown, of Atlanta, defeated Miss
Janvier, of New Orleans; Miss Evans,
of Augusta, downed Miss Jackson, of
Atlanta, and the other match went by
default to Mias Storer. In the second
round Miss Brown lost to Miss Minor
after a brilliant match. The first set
was 6-4 and the next went to 9-7 be
fore a decision could be reached.

In Last Game
Nashville, Tenn., July 4.—The At
lanta baseball team ended Its stay
here In a blaze of victory, hits, errors
and Inverted baseball brilliancy.
It may be mentioned, however, that
all the errors were made by the home
team. On the hit question, though, it
was only a little better than an even
break for the Crackers.
Rube Zeller, who has thrown off his
"June hoodoo" and got back In his
stride ugaln won In fine style, though
he gave up eleven hits. However, the
gent witl^ the shark smile, did not un
cork many hits when times were
troublous and three runs was the
Nashville total.

SNAPPY DOPE ON
SHUT OUT GAMES.
Manager Vaughn persists In trot
ting Ginger Clark out before a long-
suffering public. He is not wanted
here and he does not want to stay
here. Trade him, swap him, give him
away or something.—Birmingham
News.
The "occasional* contributor” who
signs himself "M. H.," and who
has the mathematics of baseball
at his fingers’ ends, has turned
up this batch of dope on shut-out
games:
There has been some very snappy
bnseball so far this season In the
Southern League. When 251 contests
had been played 53 had been shut
outs. This Is a very high average.
The boys from the Crescent City
have proven themselves the champions
hen It comes to shutting out their
opponents. Atlanta nnd the Baron*
are tied for last honors. But the
mighty Habhkr.s arc the hardest set
to blunk of all, having received only
three shut-outs, Atlanta serving the
whitewash on two occasions nt Ponce
DcIx*on. Hero Is the percentage of the
team**. Including all games In June:

defeated William J. Clothier, of Philadel
phia. In the middle states championship
tournament Wednesday afternoon. Little
oaptnlnod the American tennis teem to
England a year ago. The eeoree were: 6-1,
4-6, 6*4.
Although Lave Cross got away the
entire series without An error, Hess
made him look like a bush leaguer
In both games yesterday. He cut down
several prospective two-ba«e hits over
the bag and retired the runners at first.
His work on bunts, too, was practical
ly inimitable, and the big "Crab” easi
ly lived up to hi* reputation for being
he best third sacker In the league, ex-
eptlng. of course. Lava Crosa.—Little

Just Notes
A Memphis special to a Shreveport
newspaper says that "Matty,” the Pel
ican catcher, was roundly hissed and
jeered when ho appeared behind the
bat for the New Orleans club Sunday
afternoon. Matthews Is getting to be
unpopular with players and fans alike
in this league.
If the Sox manage to stay on top of
the league with George Davis, Lee
Tannehlll nnd Billy Sullivan on the
sick list, p-hnt will they do when these
stars get back Into the game? Such
an Infield as has been presented of
late by the Sox outfit, bar good, old
Jiggs Donohue, would damn a minor
league club.—Exchange.
Fred Buelow, the former Detroit
backstop, has succeeded In getting Into
a row with the St. Louis manager, and
the latter has signified hi* willingness
to let him return to the Tigers. Jen
nings says he will be glad to get him
back to coach hi* three young catchers
fend still further strengthen the Detroit
team.—Exchange.
The Birmingham Ledger insinuates
that somebody on the team Is trying
to take Harry Vaughn’s Job away
from him. Don't know who the gent
Is, but a lunacy commission should be
impanelled for him.
You are right, and his name, let It
le whispered. Is Demontreville.—New
Orleans States.
The swiftest aggregation seen on the
local diamond, always excepting the
Pirates, Is that gane from Montgom
ery, but the crowd that plays with the
greatest ease and harmony looks to be
Atlanta. Memphis, while marching to
victory against all others, look weak
and outclassed when they stand up
against the Pirates. By the way, have
you noticed that Babb and his men
have never won a game in Birming
ham this season, although they made
a clean sweep of all series against the
Barons at home?—Shreveport Times.
Charlie Frank pleads guilty to vio
lating the salary limit. That is, he
pulls off this stunt In print. If he was
given a call by the president he would
Ewear by all that was holy that he
never violated a rule In his life—Bir
mingham News.
Forget It! Frank Is still waiting for
that "call,” but apparently the presi
dent Isn't satisfied with his hand.—
