THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. THURSDAY, JULY 4,1907 i J u LY FOURTH Bl JSY 1 DAY FO SPORTING WORLD SPORTING PAGE EDITED BY i PERCY H. WHITING ! —— -ii ! NOT NEWS, BUT VIEWS i 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. FOURTH OF JULY MORNING GAME IS WON BY ATLANTA; SCORE 8 TO 4 George Stono. of 8t.

CONFIDENTIAL LOANS ON VALUABLES. 15 Decatur St. Kimball House. Bargains In Unredeemed Diamonds. ATLANTA vs. MONTGOMERY 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. The results follow: Single#—First Round. Little defeated Davis 6-0, 6-1; Thornton defeated Byrd 6-3, 6-3; Day defeated Hanford 6-1, 6-3; Grltna de feated Cornelius 3-6, 6-2, 6-0;' Bates defeated Mansfield 7-6. 6-8, 6-2; Rog ers defeated Middlebrook* 6-2, 7-5; Mayberry defeated Eurnshnw by de fault; Howell defeated Grant 6-3, 6-4; Norton defeated Fitzsimmons 6-4, 6-1; Williams defeated Ort^e 6-1. 6-3; Leonard defeated Adair 7-5, 3-6, 6-2: Cox, defeated Berrien 3-6. 6-1, 6-a; Grant defeated Hcott 8-6, 2-6, 6-3. 8econd Round.

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. The score; Nashville. Persons, If. . Wiseman, 2b. Dobbs, cf. . .

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.

IIIHIIMIMtHMIHIHIMHIIMMMtllll 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!
