THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. MONDAY, JULY 15,1907.
SECOND INVASION OF EAST IS ON IN EARNEST
SPORTING PAGE EDITED BY
PERCY H. WHITING
| NOT NEWS, BUT VIEWS
They're off for eighteen game*.
The Cracker* blew home Sunday morning and put in a day
resting after the strenuosity of four games in Montgomery.
Sunday afternoon Charley Frank’s pelicans took their final
home work-out and hit the trail for Georgia.
The two teams face each other Monday afternoon in the first
of a three-game series.
This long series of home games stretching away to August 3
will be practically decisive in the pennant race. If Atlanta can
win a bunch of battles and get out in front then the Crackers
are still in the chase.
If they can’t, then it’s all over but the flag-raising in Mem
phis.
Atlanta faces the situation with a team not at its best. Zel
ler is still out of the game and may be for a week opAnore. The
- other members of the team are in fair condition but the pitchers
do not seem to have hit their winning stride and the aggregation
is pretty well shaken as a result of the two defeats and one tic in
Montgomery.
Will Hamilton, of the New Orleans Item, had doped out a
new Southern League circuit. The teams omitted are the usual
ones—Little Rock and Shreveport—but in their places he sug
gests Mobile and Gretna.
Ever heard of Gretnaf Nof
Well it is just across the Mississippi from New Orleans and
it boasts a population of 15,000 people.
Of course this is not enough to support a Southern League
team, bnt Gretna would draw from the 325,000 people on the
northeast side of the river.
This would mean practically continuous baseball for New
Orleans, but that is not a bad idea, either. San Francisco sup
ports two teams—one in the city and ono in Oakland, and New
Orleans could do likewise.
This change would eliminate two of the three poor baseball
towns of the league, would open up two new burgs to Southern
League baseball, would materially rednee the railroad jumps and
would make ono of the neatest, snappiest little leagues in the
country.
As Hamilton points out, there is no likelihood that Little
Rock and Shrevoport will drop out right now, but when they do
the Gretna-Mobilo combination looks like a winner.
President Kavanangh has oalled a meeting of the leaguo di
rectors for Memphis on Saturday. Frank and Dobbs have cases to
come before the board, and it is not unlikely that the question of
player limits and a few such will come up. The league needs a
little shaking up along this line and it will be well to straighten
out the several tangles which now exist.
This year has been a peaceable one compared with last year
and it will do no harm to keep it peaceable.
It was a lovely exhibition in Memphis Saturday whon the
crowd tried to mob Umpire Eldridge.
However, far be it from Atlanta to criticise. Wo have trans
gressed too recently along that lino ourselves—not this year, but
lost

EA8Y FOR KUTZ.
In a hard-hitting and one-sided game,
coupled with a "Comedy of Errors,” the
Kuts team won front the Koca Nolas by
a score of 24 to 6. The day was fine for
a game. Some few drops of rain fell In
th. fifth Inning, although no damage
was done to the diamond and the game
continued ns If nothing had happened.
The first gent to cross the plate was
Claud Sartertus. He, Ahles and Mc
Bride circled the bases in the first In
ning. and from this on the Kutx team
plied up runs nt will. The Koca Nolas
used up four pitchers and still failed to
stop Mike Winn's aggregation. Eddie
Sullivan won the honors In batting.
With two men on bases, he hit to the
fence for n home run, rlenntng the
bases. Previous to this, Mr. Sullivan
had secured two singles. Bosche. Ahles
and Huddleston were there with the
stick, the trio getting three-baggers
and a couple of singles apiece. In the
fourth Inning the Kutx team landed
for four hits without a score. Fleet-
footed Hub Huddleston, known as the
young Paskert of the Commercial
League, stole five bases. Including third
twice and home once.
Dixie Mow, Kuu's new right fielder.
made a highly favorable Impression.
Strange, In the eighth, hit one to right
which was labeled a hit.
Sartorlus, who held down the first
sack In the absence of ‘Captain Rich
ardson, was there with the goods, ac
cepting twelve chances without error.
Edens pitched a good game; though al
lowing seven hits, he kept them scat
tered. At no time did the Koca Nolas
hit him hard. He really deserved
shut-out.
The Koca Nola. took advantage of
two errors and a hit In the sixth and
came across the rubber twice. This
was all for them until the ninth, when
Steiner singled, followed by two errors,
which should have been easy outs. Bra
dy sent one to center for two bases,
sending two runners across the pan.
Solms singled, the three following
Solms being retired in easy fashion,
which ended the fray.
As no umpire put In his appearance
by 4 p. m., the indicator was handed
to Charles Parrish, tho hefty little
backstopper of the Beck A Gregg team.
Charlie rendered all decisions well and
certainly hail a few to decide—hard
and close. There was no kick from
cither side.

Special to Tbs Georgian.
Montgomery, Ala., July 15.—The
Cracker crew was the sore little thing
Saturday night when It pulled out of
this burg for Atlanta, Go.
For after winning one game and los.
Ing two, the Atlnnta team had to be
satisfied with a tie In the last gome.
A slight clogging of the Atlanta hit
ting apparatus put the game on the
pork. Two was tho sum total at the
end of the ninth Inning, when the game
was called.
The cause of trouble waa "Smiling
Jonathan" Malarkey, manager of the
Pretsels. He went In the box, having
nobody he could especially depend
upon, and he was more effective In
stopping hits than a car load of cork
bats.
Becker located him for a two-bagger,
which started Atlanta's modest effort
at run-getting. James Fox was the
other hitter. The rest of them were
flagged. "Safety George" Paskert
couldn’t connect. "Ginger George"
Winters likewise. And ditto for the
whole bunch.
Oh. It was a sad day for Cracker
batting averages.
Roy Castleton was In the Cracker
line-up os twlrler and he succeeded
well. Eight hits were garnered off hts
long hooks, but they could not be util
ized In the making of more than one
run. The result was Just as good as
though there had been less hits made.
Also, the Mormon struck out five men
and allowed only two bases on balls.
At the end of the third Inning rain
fell and delayed tho game. But It was
afterward shoved through to the end
of the ninth. -

NOTES ON GAMES.
Neither run was earned.
Becker doubled In the first, went to
third on an out and Paskert got a base
on halls. George pulled off a steal and
Seabaugh carelessly chucked to second
to catch him. This gave Becker a
chance for a double steal and he romp
ed home. t
The Montgomery official .corer doe.
not seem to have given Jens a stolen
base on the play, though how he avoid
ed It 1. a mystery.
■Who ever heard of John Malarkey
doing anything like that?
Pretty good for John—but we wish
he hadn’t.
Umplro Rlnn was still out of business
when the call came Saturday, and
Spade and Walsh did the umpiring.
Billy Smith gave hts battling order
another twist Saturday, with apparent
ly a not over-good effect on the bat
ting.
Malarkey was too good, however, to
give any batting order a decent trial.
An 11-to-l .hut out in New Orleans
and a 2-to-0 shut out In Memphis were
Saturday's features. •
In Memphis the home team was the
victim and Finn’s bunch the victors.
Hoffer's pitching was good for the
Travelers, but Bills did better for Mem
phis. twirling a three-hit game. But
Richards, the Babblers' third .acker,
made a pickled error that let the game
go the right way.
Phillips pitched a nice game for New
Orleans, allowing Shreveport four hits.
Gaskin, onie ft league lender at pitch
ing. looked like a dub and gave up 12
hits.
The bumps which were due "Rip"
Rngan the day he wa* taken out In At
lnnta were delivered Saturday by
Nnshvllle. Sixteen was the total num
ber of safeties, and all were singles but
one.

J. Quinn Leaves
Macon Ball Club
Special to The Georgian.
Macon, Ga., July 15.—On account of
mlFunderstandlng with the local
management relative -to salary, Jack
Quinn, the star pitcher for Macon, ha*
decided to leave for his home In Potts-
vllle, Pa., and has already secured
transportation.
Jack has endeavored to settle his dif
ferences* with the club, but no satis
factory understanding could be
reached.
Those who know the cental character
of Quinn and how well ne has conduct
ed himself while In Macon will regret
this step of his. It Is likely that he
will later Join the Montgomery team,
of the Southern League, as the man
ager of the Dayton club, to whom he
belongs, has practically concluded ar
rangements to that effect, and Jack
thinks he will be sent there.
Jack Rowan Joins
Perry Lipe*s Team
8pec!al to The Georgian. . .
Macon, Ga., July 15.—Now that Jack
Rowan, one of Hugh Jennings* young
Detroit Tigers, has reported to Man
ager Llpe, Macon Is calculated to enow
some of the leaders around the circuit
what she really can do.
Rowan seems to be In the beat or
physical condition, looks as though he
had some speed up his sleeve, and it
Is believed that he will make Macon a
valuable man.
With Rowan now a local, the pitching
staff la greatly strengthened and tne
leaders will have to watch out or be
downtrodden by Perry's Alerts.
EXPERT AT FENCING GAME
NOW WITH FAWCETT CO.
In George Schrader, the "heavy"
with the Fawcett Stock Company pre
senting "Miss Hobbs’ at the Grand
this week, Atlanta lias one of the most
expert fencers In the United Statee.
Mr. Schrader was born and raised In
Baltimore and early In life took
great liking to that very graceful and
liealthglvlng exercise. His close
proximity to Annapolis, the home of
the United States naval academy,
where are trained some of the world's
most famous fencers, permitted him to
visit that city for Instruction.
Under the tutelage of Professor
Hein* the Instructor In fencing at the
academy, Mr. Schrader has come to
be an expert.
He Is never quite so happy as when
gripping the foils and so expert is he
with the weapons that he rarely ever
meets hls 'match outside of profes
sionals.
He finds this art a great delight to
him, especially In those romantic plays
wherein sword play Is to be used.
It Is a source of pleasure for him
to start a friendly practice bout with
hls "opponent", and suddenly, and
without warning, which from hls
grasp the foil so tightly held.
In recognition of hls exportness In
this art he was secured by Kyrie Bel-
lew to stage his act In the great suc
cess, “Brigadier Girard,” where the
duel scene forms a great climax. The
critics described this scene as one of
the moat thrilling stage fights ever
put on.
In token of his fondness for the art
of fencing Mr. Schrader carries on hls
right arm a scar wherein eight
stitches were taken following hls
heavyweight wrestler nnd now ath
letic Instructor at the Baltimore Ath
letic Club.
"Ho pinked me and pinked me good,
said Mr. Schrader In speaking of the
bout. "In fact, so good that a sur
geon had to sew up the slit *1™
eight stitches. The dagoes, French
men, Germans and others who saw
the match were set craxy by It, an® 1
was besieged for days to give them »
chance. Every molhei/s son I
upon me as an easy mark and
be at me. They would waylay a*
as I came out of the theater, folio*
me home and watch for me outride >
the club In on effort to get a chance
at me.
"Of all the stag, swordsmen I Know
I think Bellew has the best
This one thing has made hls piny f '‘‘
a groat success. Fencing is a grew
art and a fine sport. X prefer It to ““
others.”
