- ; ■ 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.

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. on balls, off Harmon 1; off Garwood 4. stolen bases, Lockridge; passed balls, Parish 2; wild pitches, Garwood 1; hit by pitched ball, Daley.

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 C?lmb«nt ‘ b ® h “ m<U5e g00<l WUh thl 8eored In First The Crackers tcored In the flrit i n Mng.

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 bum mlt Is coming along. 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 Barons and then the Crackers tump the town for the rest of ths week. Next Monday the second Invasion of the east by the west begins. ANNUAL A. A. C.

The first game was played with the Bucks, Draketown winning by the Shore of 11 to 7. The features of the game were the pitching of Moaely for Draketown and the fielding of Walker and Durrett of the same team. Hutcbenson pitched good ball for the Bucks but gave up a few nice hits.

Special to The Georgian. Martin, Ga,, July 8.—A ball team has been organized at this place and wishes to play a series of games with any team In the state. Address elthfr care team manager, Hubert Yow, captain. The line-up is as follows: H. Yow, second base (captain); O. Mitchell, shortstop; C. Walters, third base; C. Verner, first base and manager; N. Mitchell, center field; T. Stovall, right field; L. Brown, left field; J. Crawford, pitcher; C. Fricks, catcher. Chester Ooodter, who rowed this year on the great Cornell crew, has re turned to his home. He will spend part of the summer with his father, Major L. E. Goodler, Judge advocate, Department of the Gulf. 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. STATE8BORO WIN8.
