THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. MONDAY, JULY 8, 1907.
BIRMINGHAM BARONS HERE AND DUE SOME BUMPS
SPORTING PAGE EDITED BY
PERCY H. WHITING
! NOT NEWS, BUT VIEWS
With the team's best batter—Ed Sweeney— sick-abed; the
next-best batter—Paskert—suffering from a sprained wrist and
the star batter of last year—Sid Smith—working with a bum
finger, the Atlanta team went out against Montgomery Saturday
afternoon and won handily.
It was a game exhibition of baseball under difficulties and
was encouraging to local fans.
Monday our old friends from “Burningham” are with us
again—and “softer” than ever.
The team that made a specialty of “eatin’ ’em alive” last
year is "easy pickings” this year and with any kind of luck At
lanta could walk away with all three games.
However, the Crackers aren’t quite at their best right now
and two out of three will do all right.
The Memphis team lost one Sunday and that helped some.
Shreveport took revenge for the defeat of Saturday by a six-
to-two victory.
Monday. Tuesday and Wednesday of this week the Bluffers
invade Charley Frank's sacred territory and if the fur doesn’t
fly then we have missed another guess.
There used to be considerable love lost between the Memphis
and New Orleans managements. Time was when we were accus
ing them of throwing games to each other and working in part
nership to try to run the league.
But not now.
Enough hard feeling was stirred up oven the episode in
Memphis last week when Charley Frank led his team from the
field, alleging that Charley Babb hnd doped the right-hand bat
ters’ box to fix his right hand batters.
And it will be something over- “quite a spell” before the
Hustlers forgive that.
It is a hard matter to dope out who was right and who was
wrong in that question.
It is hard for anyone in Atlanta to believe that Frank is
right in anything—because it has been so long a habit to think
otherwise.
But Frank’s statement, a document of considerable length
reads pretty well. Boiled down it is nothing more than he said
the day ho took his team from the field—that, the right-hand
batters’ box was soft and muddy while the other one wasn’t,
that the majority of his batters were right-handed while the ma
jority of the Memphis batters were not, that it would have taken
only a few minutes to have fixed up the offending spot but that
the Memphis management refused to do it.
The best defense of the Memphis management was made by
T. G. Scarbrough in the Commercial-Appeal. Mr. Scarbrough
stated that possibly a fifth of the box nearest the pitcher was
slightly damp but that it was not in bad enough condition to be
any material handicap.
nc denied also that there was any evidence of jobbery.
Also he burned up Charley Frank in one of the most scath
ing roasts ever handed out by a reputable Southern League pa
per—giving a brief resume of his misdeeds and alleged misdeeds
since back in the early days when Frank broke into the baseball
lime-light by putting the famous Memphis Chickasaws out of bus
iness.

(To be announced later.)
If a better content wan ever pulled
off In an amateur league than the race
for The Georgian pennant which la now
on among the teamn In the Commercial
League, it has escaped the notice of the
writer.
Just at thin writing three teamn are
tied for first place and one other is
within easy striking distance of first
honors.
The Sun Proofs defeated the Beck A
Gregg team in a great game Saturday
afternoon, and each team now has a
per cent of .700. The M. Kut* team
won a game by default and is also In
the select .700 crowd.
Full accounts of the games played
follow:
and with better support at critical
times the score would have been closer.
Umpire Richardson, who usually plays
with the M. Kut* team, but who had
an off day Saturday, made a very cred
itable "umps."
Just Notes.
That little fellow Daley, who hovered
around second base for the Painters,
reminds one of Castro, the star Atlanta
short stop. In covering ground. He Is
a wonder In the Held and at bat, but
not in hitting. He usually gets on first
by getting hit or the free pass route.
Saturday he went to the bat four times,
walked twice and was hit once, the last
time grounding to pitcher, who threw
him out at first. He scored three of
the seven runs, made four assists and
one put-out.
The way that fellow "Bill'* Lockridge
hits a ball is a wonder. He made three
hits out of four times at bat Saturday.
Nowell, the league's terror, once more
butted Into society Saturday afternoon,
when he cleaned the bases with a
double. He also made two other hits,
hits.
There is no doubt about Garwood
being a good pitcher. He needs better
support than he received Saturday.
Harmon Is a good one, too. He fanned
eight men Saturday and but very few
balls were knocked past the lnflelders.
8UN PROOFS WIN.
Saturday the Pittsburg "Sun Proof"
team met, and after much delay and
plenty of wrangling, defeated the Beck
A Gregg team. Those hardware boys
are certainly hard losers. Even Billy
Smith might take a lesson from them
on that subject, but what's the use?
The strongest team will win nine times
out of ten and those Sun Proof boys
outplayed the Beck & Gregg team from
the start.
It was In the second Inning when
the Paint Dobbers dobbed paint all over
the Hardware boys, and then some, for
after plenty of hitting and errors the
Painters had pushed three men across
the rubber. In the fourth spasm the
count was pushed up one and in the
fifth another trio was added, making
a total of seven against one In the
Painters' favor. Both teams made
eight hits, but the Sun Proofs made
them so that runs resulted while the
Beck A Gregg men could not see or
touch Harmon when men were on
bases. Garwood pitched a pretty game
No wonder the Beck A Gregg boys
hated to lose Saturday, for the game
won by the Sun Proofs tied them for
first position honors.

Card From Kutz Team,
Sporting Editor of The Georgian:
The boys of the Kut* team, after re
turning from two games at Nelson,
wish to express thanks through the
columns of The Georgian for the fine
treatment received. The Nelson peo
ple simply turned the town over to us.
For the time being we forgot there was
such & place as Atlanta. The Kut*
team believes that any amateur team
which Invades that burg will receive
the best of treatment. Nelson Is open
for games. MIKE WINN, Manager.
The Kut* team Is In a weak condi
tion. Lamma Is with the team no
longer; cause unknown. Shaw has left
for the Maccabees. Richardson by ad
visement of the team physician will be
out of the game the rest of the season.
He was leading the team In every de-
S artmnt except fielding. Following Is
is record: Fielding, 969; batting, 470;
stolen bases, 10; sixteen hits for a to
tal of 26 bases. Lamma was next with
22 bases. Richardson's record Is for
eight games.
ANOTHER GREAT VICTORY
WON BY SPEEDY CRACKERS
Bob Spade, with some considerable
assistance from the other eight Crack-
cra In the game, defeated the Climbers
end Sam Weems, the college star. Sat.
urday afternoon. Score, Atlanta 2,
Montgomery 1.
Spade twirled great ball and had
everything that a pitcher needed^ He
had the Climbers completely at hla
mercy and allowed them only flve scat,
tered hits. The Crackers, secured only
seven hits off Weems, but three of them
were three-baggers and were bunched
at critical moments of the battle.
Bill Dyer was the first Cracker to
cross the plate, and he did this In the
opening round. Dyer knocked a scorch.
Ing three-bagger to deep center and
scored when a one Mr. Paskert with a
bum wrist singled to left.
Especial mention should be made of
Paskert. George was In the game
Saturday and waa In the game heart
and soul at all times during the con
test. Paskert sprained hla wrist In
that last Fourth of July battle and went
Into-the game Saturday with hla hand
almost twice the normal size. Not-
rlthstandtng this, he made three hits
out of four times at bat and also play
ed a great game In the field.
Paskert Is a game player and he has
showed his gameness on more than one
occasion while in Atlanta.
Dyer ha* been Improving wonder-
fully In hla playing of late. Bill played
a great game at third Saturday, and
he deserves much credit for the win
ning of Saturday's contest. Dyer se
cured the first hit of the game and
likewise the first run.
The Climbers also played good ball.
Malnrkey has a good team now. If
some of the other managers want to
tvln the pennant they will have to look
out for "Smiling" John. He has no
chance to cop the bunting, but he
might enslly keep other teams from
getting it.
Neal Ball, the former Atlanta short-
stop, Is playing great ball for Mont
gomery. He Is hitting and fielding
In great form and will make some of
the other shortstops In this league look
their laurels. Ball la a good fielder
and a good batter. He has made some
good playa while in Atlanta, and his
many friends In this city are glad to

'ATLANTA COPS
BIG TROPHIES
It looks ns though Charley Bnbb might easily have had the
batters’ box fixed. It wna a small matter either wny and it
would have looked better all around.
But hore we are back at the old proposition:
That no team is ever justified in quitting the field before a
game is ended.
And in this case as in nil caseR there is no getting away from
the rule. No matter what the condition of the whole diamond
might have been, if the captain of the homo team decided that
it was fit to play Frank should have forced his team to play.
There is never any excuse for turning away a crowd that has
come to see a game and it ia to be hoped that the $300 fine will
stand.
Don’t, lose any sleep over the rumors that C. Frank will not
pay and that he will start a fight. That is bosh, pure and sim
ple. Frank loves a fight as dearly as any man but he is not go
ing to run any risks, not this trip. Baseball is paying too well
in New Orleans these days.
SICK MEN ALL BETTER,
AND READY FOR FRAY
The warm work-out of Saturday and
tbs rest on Sunday' have done wonders
for ths Atlanta team.
EM Sweeney is better, Paskert's wrist
is at least no worae, and Sid 8mlth's

The line-up In the game with Bir
mingham Is a matter of some uncer
talnty. but It will be a strong one.
Three games are scheduled with the

Just Notes
. Atlanta la ths worst club In the
Southern League as roadsters. At home
they play a fair game, as the home
crowd Is with them, but when they
•trike hostile cities they show the "yel
low" and quit like a lot of curs. Out of
flve games played on the present trip
they have actually won a single game,
and this Is the crowd that expects to
win the pennant.—New Orleans States.
Some of these days, predict. The
Birmingham Age-Herald, Judge Kava-
naugh will have something to Bay to
Charlie Frank. The Dutchman la not
only violating the rules of the league,
and not only violating them admittedly,
but Is violating them, too, boastfully.
There can be no doubt but that he la
paying Lave Cross more than 2400 per
month. It Is believed he Is paying the
third baseman $500.
If Cross Is receiving 2500, what do
you suppose the twenty men on Frank's
pay roll jointly receive?
The suggestion that a pension fund
be provided to take care of old base
ball players who can no longer "play
the game" Is gaining supporters among
members of both the American and
National leagues.
"Several hundred thousand dollars
can be raised In a year," say* President
Ban Johnson, of the American League,
‘‘as the lovers of the sport will take
enthusiastically to the proposition. Out-
league will start the bnll rolling with a
check for 225,000 when the proper time
comes."—Exchange.
