r 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 M’CAY’S MOBILE TEAM SERIES ENDS WITH A TIE Malarkey Gives Up Two Hits and Game Closes One to One. , . — — r . /, pitohtr; ,, — * Ollie Donaldson, wrestler; Phillips, pitcher; Fritz, catoher; Brunner, pltcheri Kemmer, first bate.

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. The following will tell you about It: Kutx, ab. r. h. po. a.

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. - The score: Montgomery. Houtz, If. . . Baxter, lb. . Ball, ss. . . Perry, 3b. . . Henline. cf. • . Gear, rf. . . Nye, 2b Seabaugh, c.

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. SOUTH 8IDE STARS WIN. The South Side Stars defeated the Sells Avenue Stars by the score of 9 to 7.

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.
