I NOT NEWS, BUT VIEWS
Well, if Atlanta HAD won both gamea of that double-header
Monday we should be .002 ahead of Memphis, instead of .002 be
hind.
• But still we bear the rain that stopped the game no grudge.
It looked decidedly as though the Barons had us beaten in that
first one. And if they h8d got away with it, things would not
look half as fine as they do now.
It’s a pippin of a race, though.
Old New Orleans put up a game attempt to down Memphis
Monday. But no use. “Inflated Georgie” Suggs was a little too
keen and the Pelican people bit the dust.
However, it is reasonably evident that Prank’s team is doing
its best to win from Memphis, and it is to be hoped that the Peli
cans will be successful.
Atlanta can’t hope to win quite all of the games, nnd the
only hope is to lose less than Memphis does.
We earnestly request that Lattimer and Garvin of the Bir
mingham team modify their language while they are on the ball
grounds. Both players were guilty, during the progress of the
game Monday, of loud-mouthed profanity.
That may be allowable on the Slag Pile. But not at Ponce
DeLeon.
Kindly eliminate it in future.
It has been the custom in the Southern League for some time
past for the pennant winning team to pull of? an exhibition game
the day after the season closes.
We note with some amusement that the Memphis manage
ment has already announced this game for the Turtle Back.
A little premature, maybe. We might decide to have it at
Ponce DeLeon. ~
The Chicago Tribune’s baseball expert recently announced
that if a base runner is hit by a batted ball that 1ms been partly
blocked by a fielder he is not out.
Obviously.
And yet the umpires of the league have been making all
kinds of decisions on this point of late and the managers are a lit
tle up in the air on the question.
THIS LOOKS LIKE THE WINNER OF SALLY PENNANT
STORY OF GAME
THE CHARLESTON TEAM.
Hera le the team which seems to have the Sally League race sewed up in a sack. A 'glance at the pic
ture will show a surprisingly large number of ex-Southern Leaguers.
Here are the men: 1, Jack Evers, catcher; 2, Geo. Wilkerson, first base; 3, Bob White, pitcher; 4, Ed.
Foster, pitcher; 5, Tom Raferty, left field; 6, Pat Meaney, right field; 7, Bugs Raymond, pitcher; 8, Jack Mul-
lin, center field; 9, Ote. Johnson, captain and shortstop; 10, Phil. Reislnger, catcher; 11, Steve Griffin, third
base; 12, Lguis Snippy, second base; 13, Wilton Matthews, manager; 14, Geo. Paige, pitcher.
ATLANTA WILL PLAY
HERE ALL THIS WEEK
Atlanta will play a,t Ponca DeLeon
all the week.
The series of three garnet scheduled
to be played In Montgomery this week
will be fought out Instead on Atlanta's
baseball battlefield.
. This decision was reached at a
meeting of the league directors Tues
day, and came about as a result of th*
grandstand In Montgomery blowing
down. The schedule except for the
transfer of these three games from
Montgomery. to Atlanta remains un
changed.
This Is one Instance where. It seems,
and If all the facts are known, Atlanta
will have a slice of this transferred
game pie. The difference between this
Instance and several of recent years
where others profited Is that there Is
a good excuse for the transfer of this
sqrles.
Announcement of the transfer Is
made by Lowry Arnold, who attended
the league meeting.
Lots of Fighters, No Fights;
Writes Jack Foy of Atlanta
With a full 90 per oent of the
pugilists "on the make" and the
game at crooked at a snake throw
ing a fit, an honest pugilist hat a
hard time making a living.
Witness the sad plaint of our
friend Jack Foy, the Atlanta wel
ter weight who went up to the
East looking for a fight.
He writes;
I have been trying to get, on a fight
with anyone at any weight, but they
all sidestep me. The match makers
aeem to be willing, but the fighters are
all looking for aoft things, and easy
money. They are not willing to run
the chance of getting a licking from a
stranger. I offered to take any one,
giving away from 10 to 16 pounds, but
real fighters are scarce In New York.
There are a plenty of them here who
claim to be scrappers, but they had
rather watch a fight than to be In one.
They train all tne time and never
fight.
This fellow Orupp, of St. Louie, who
has been going some In Now York,
winning all of his fights nnd knocked
out Kid Stine, the follow that said he
was never knocked hut. Well, Willie
Orupp eaya that he will go twenty
rounds with me this fall for a decent
purse. I think that will bo easy
enough to get. Orupp Is a welter
weight. He spoke as though
might get It on at Hot Springs.
I was promised a good fight with
Mickey McDonough, the New York
middle weight, to go on at the Crown
club In Brooklyn tonight, hut I notice
a piece In this morning’s paper that
the club will be closed for the summer.
So nothing doing.
These New York fighters claim to be
about three weights lower than they
are. The light heavies are all middles
and welterweights. At that rate
must be a lightweight.
Well, things don't look so easy as one
would think. All I thought a fellow
would have to do was to let them
know that you were looking for a light
and you would get all the fights you
wanted, but It Is very different.
Yours,
JACK FOY.

i Just Notes
The western clubs of the Southern
League will send two twlrlera at least
to the big leagues—Keith and Suggs.
The former ha* not been doing so
well this year. But he has unusual
ability and may do better with the ma
jors.
The career of George Suggs with De
troit will be watched with Interest.
Suggs Is admittedly one of the most
remarkable twlrlera that the Southern
League has ever seen. And his worth
as a slabater Is testified especially by
the batten who have worked against
him. Both Bill Smith and John Dobbs
believe him to be.the poesessor of the
most remarkable curves In the league.
But somehow George can't win bis
games. He can lose more one-hit and
two-hit games than any other man In
the South.
Whether Jennings will be able to
handle him and get him to do hit best
and whether or not Detroit will support
him remains to be seen. With condi
tions favorable, Suggs ought to make a
good pitcher for any man's team.
Dale Gear, of the Montgomery team.
Is a ball player worth noting.
There Is a man who always plays the
game, who takes good care of himself,
who never make* any noisy kicks, and
who fs a gentleman at ajl times.
During the summer he plays baseball
at a good salaary. In the winter he
practices law. He eaves bis money and
invests It.
Geer baa a nloe law practice In Kan
sas City (where until recently he owned
a quarter Interest In the baseball asso
ciation). Last winter be saw a nice
chance to pick up some land In Okla
homa, so he put In a bid for a chunk,
got It, and will this fall go over and
live there long enough to establish his
claim to the land as a homesteader.
Gear Is playing this summer
to make enough money to pay
for hts house on his new Okla
homa land. When this house Is built
and Gear has lived there long enough to
make his claim good he will probably
sell or lease the land and return to
Kansas City to take up his law prac
tice, He stands In pretty well politi
cally there and is certain to get ahead.
Men of Gear's stamp raise the tone
of any league and show- the doubters
that baseball players can be Just as
respectable, substantial and desirable
dtliena as anybody els*.
Says The Jackeonvllle Times-Union;
"The Columbia club, as It stands today,
le a good on*. The Infield Is made up
of experienced players, headed by Jay
Kansler, one of the very best In this
league. The outfield It also strong.”
But If Columbia were represented by a
team like the White Sox and didn't
win any more games than the team Is
now doing, how much profit would
there be In It?
The "dear public" are beginning to
find out that as long at they continue
to support Indifferent ball playing that
Indifferent ball will be played.—Blrm-

The Vicksburg club In the Cotton
States League has a player named
Kavanaugh. "Kavay” plays short-stop
and he plays his position In fine style.
It Is not known whether or not he Is
any relation to President Kavanaugh,
of the Southern League.
Every fan tn town ts wondering how
Billie Smith is going to get a team
for Atlanta next season, since Georgia
“BIG” HARRY VAUGHN MAY NOT
MANAGE BARONS NEXT SEASON
Despite a snappy rain storm and a resulting mud-pie, the Crackers
and the Barons managed to pull off one game of the double-header
scheduled for Monday and Atlanta won, score 1 to 0.
The first game started off with Castleton and McWeller in the bn*
for the rival teams. x
• Castleton. Just at present, enjoys the distinction of being the leading
pitcher of the league. For a few short minutes, Monday, it looked a5
though he were coming off that perch. **
In tile second Inning, Gardner, the first man up, walked. Meek then
ripped off a three-bagger, scoring Gardner. In an effort to catch MeeS
off third, Castleton threw wild and the Big Train scored. * *
This did not look so lovely for Atlanta and the fans heaved a Ur**
sigh of relief when the rain fell. w
The shower lasted a half hour or ho and when thirty minutes
from the time of calling the game had passed the first gome was de
clared off by Umpire Pfennlnger.
Thin wtfQ ferenl consultations over the second one, a lot of haul
ing about of tarpaulins.' considerable application of dry Hand and then
it started. It was pretty late before the first gun was fired—somethin.
like 4:30. mg
A prettier game on a wet field would have been hard to find.
Turner, for the Barons, and Spade, for Atlanta, pitched marvellouslv
good ball. ‘ y
Turner did not allow a clean hit and* only .two things that were
called hits. One of these was apparently a clean muff of Winters' fly
by MoieswoYth. The ball hit slap In Moley'fl paws and he dropped it.
The other hit was Castro's bunt when he tried to sacrifice Jordan to
second. He got "Cap" to the keystone sack all right but the Birming
ham fielders were stuck In the mud and the Atlanta short stop went safe
to first.
Spade allowed five hits, but no two of them came in the same In
ning and it never looked for a fleeting second as though Birmingham
had a chance to score. The only time when the Barons were even re- •
motely "near” wps in the third and then a neat double play ended the
excitement.
Atlanta scored her single run after Jordan had reached first on Wal
ters* error and second on Castro’s queer single. Dyer advanced both men
a base with one of the prettiest secrlficos seen In months and Otto scored
when Sweeney hit a fielder’s choice. The pitcher got the ball and could
easily have retired Ed at first. But he elected to try to land Otto at the
plate and he wasn’t quick enough.
Hackett and Pfennlnger umpired the game and got away with It all
right. Neither is much loved by ttye Crackers, but both did satisfactory
work Monday.
Paskert made about the prettiest double play of the season when he
ran about a mile for "Horseshoe” Smith’s near-Texas leaguer and after
stabbing it with his gloved hand threw Demont out at second.
Has
Put Matter Up
Owners'of the
Club.
To
"I don't know whether I shall man
age the Birmingham team next year
or not."
So says 'Harry Vaughn, now mogul
of the Barone.
i have put It up to the management
and they have to glvo me an answer as
soon ae I get gack, which Is Thurs
day.
1 told them that they had to have
a new team, whether I managed It or
not; and that II they wanted mo to
look out for them next year I wanted
to get right out and buy and make
plana to draft some men."
"I told the owners of the team last,
year." continued Vaughn, "that they
would have to have tomo new men. I
waa not satisfied with the team, for
I knew about how It was going to
be. I could see the team splitting up
Into cliques and I bow the finish. But
they said not to break up a winning
team, so I let It go.
"I want to say one thing," said Har
ry, “and that Is that the Impression
that some of the players are giving out
that I have been taking their money
away from them In fines, Is not the
truth. I never cost a player on my
team money until I put Clark on the
bench. That fine sticks. But I never
fined another player and I propose that
It be known.”
Vaughn has had a hard row to hoe.
His team has been evenly divided
this year—for him and against him
and, In consequence, with a good team,
he ha* been losing games.
Presumably It Is the ol<^ trouble—
some man (or men) on his team wants
to succeed him as manager.
But Vaughn refuses to talk about
this or mention names. In reply to
the Inquiry If he —>t to the bottom of
the matter when he suspended Clark he
■aid, "Only partly."
One thing can be taken for granted.
If He Does Birmingham
Gets New Team Next
Year. < »
though,. If Vaughn Is hack next year
there will be practically a new staff
of pitcher* and a pretty good shake-
up throughout.
One man on the team wouldn’t ob
ject seriously-to coming to Atlanta and
that Is Horseshoe Smith, one of the
very best outfielders in the Southern
League.
"I have been three years In Birming
ham.” says Smith, “and I guess that Is
long enough. I like the t6wn but I
would like a change better. I should
be mighty well satisfied to come to
Atlanta."
And doubtless Atlanta would be very
woll satisfied to get him. "Horse
shoe" Is one of the best outfielders In
the Icaguo and can bat the ball with
the best of them.
Three double plays were made in the second game—which Is quite a
few for a muddy field.
One of them was a Joke.
It came about, In the fifth Inning, after Jordan had scored the lone
run of the game. Castro was on third and Sweeney on second when
Spade hit a grounder to Alcock. Castro tried to score, but Alcock threw to
• Garvin and the Count doubled on his tracks. The ball wept to Alcock and
back to Garvin a couple of times and meanwhile Castro was plowing up
and down third base line through the mud.
It looked to Sweeney as though Castro was a "cinch out" and Ed
walked over and tried to cinch third base for his own use.
' It was evidently Castro's play to stay off the bag. but he didn't and
by going back forced Sweeney off. Beth men were touched and put out by
Gacvln.
There was a lot of comedy work around tho bag and the crowd had
a good laugh. It looked then as though Atlanta had wasted a good
chance to score, but as It turned out only Otto's run was needed to win
the game. *,
The boy who operates the score board pulled off a good Joke on the
crowd about d o'clock when he stuck up "Memphis 0, Shreveport 5” on
the board.
The crowd yelled itsolf hoarse and many of the fans did not tumble
to the fact that they had been hoaxed until later, when the figures were
taken down.
As a matter of fact, owing to the strike of the telegraph operators, tt
was Impossible to get the results from any games outside Atlanta.
The fielding was more than fancy, considering the condition of the
grounds. Bill Dyer pulled off some spectacular things and Otto Jordan,
around whose stand the omlsture was decidedly moist, did equally brill
iant work. Every time Otto went fast after a ball he slid about ten feet
But he always managed to stay right side up.

_ All New York Is still laughing at a
smooth and clever trick pulled off by
Johnny Kllng, the wonderful backstop
of the Cubs, at the expense of Bill
Dahlen, the Giants' shortstop. In one
of th* games of the series played In
New York about a week since.
Dahlen took Bowerman’s throw when
Kllng tried to steal and was waiting
for Johnny to arrive to touch him out.
Kllng stopped in his tracks when with
in a few feet of second, and assuming
the antics of a typical Bowery peddler
he commenced waving his hands In
an excited manner and sold. "Touch
me easy. Bill, pleas* do. I am sick
In mind and tore In body, and for the
days when we played together, touch
me easy.” All this time Kllng was
backing away from Dahlen and Bill
was following leisurely, thinking It
would be a cinch out. ,
Kllng turned his hekd toward first
Just once and he saw that Roger Bres-
nahan, who was playing the Initial
sock, had walked 20 feet away from
first and was watching the Kllng-Dah-
len skit. Turning like a flash. Kllng
ran for first and made It with case,
while Dahlen and Breznahon stood
stock still, so great was their surprise
and chagrin at being so easily duped.
The crowd roared with delight, de
spite the fact that It was a Cub player
who had pulled off the trick, and It was
five minutes before play was resumed,
Kllng being cheered to the echo.—Ex
change.
Baseball fans who are wondering where
the Pelican club got the money to build
a 675,000 park on Carrollton avenue,
says Will R. Hamilton, In The New
Orleans Item, after winning legal con
tentions over Colonel Sullivan, the
city council and a fqw property-holders
who objected to a park In that part of
the city, won't have to go very far to
find the answer.
New parks. Third Baseman Crosses
and other luxuries that come very high
qbe being purchased solely on the sav
ings of Secretary Helnemann. This Is
the straight dope and It exemplifies the
axiom that It’s not what you make, hut
what you save that makes you rich.
And everybody knowii that tho Pelicans
couldn't buy many parks with the slim
crowds they’re drawing at this stage
of the game.
Since Helnemann haa been secretary
of the ball club he has saved, accord
ing to Lee Garrlgan, the gatekeeper,
exactly twenty-three million dollars and
twenty-three cents. There might have
been a few mills, but Le# says the
secretary spent these for peanuts for
the crowd, trading, of course, at his
own peanut stand.
This marvelous sum was saved by
the secretary In many ways, some of
which follow:
Not hiring brass bands on the Fourth
of July and other holidays.
Not providing the press stand with
chairs, nor even soap boxes.
Not renting flags of , the different
nations on holidays.
Keeping the bands of cigars.
Using 1*05 rain-checks for 1907 gate
tickets.
