It’s over.
The Southern Leapne race—probably the best ever run in a
Southern League—has come to a glorious close.
As a fitting finish Atlanta won her closing game, while Mem
phis lost.
That gave the Cracker team the pennant by a margin that
wns beyond dispute.
And n month ago hardly a man outside Atlanta conceded
the Crackers a chance to heat out Memphis, aucr croakers at
home and abroad predicted a second place finish for Little Rock,
witli Memphis ns the peuimiit winner.
Verily thnt finish will go down in history, and ten or twenty
years from nmv you will hear of a “Hill Smith finish” ns often as
nowadays you hear or the “Uarrison” variety.
For the Inst time it is urged on the Atlanta baseball fans—
show your appreciation of the team’s work by going out and
making today’s benefit game the lmwlingest success that the
South has ever known.
If the fans turn out ns they ought to the nffair will be a suc
cess beyond anything the players even hope for.
And never fear, they will.

William Algernon Smith, not un
known In aelect banebaM circle* ns "BUI
the Crab," has been In the rnme for
eighteen years, and Is pretty nearly In
the class with Lave Cross, Theo. Brelt-
ensteln, Cy Young, Jeems McOulre and
ithrr near-centenarians.
William has been manager of twelve
teams; he has won four pennant*, ho*
tlnished second once, third four times,
I and never worse than fourth. It Is
| doubtful if any minor Irugue manager
of the same service has ever made so
I good a record. The best part of It Is
i that he has Improved with experience,
and In the past four years has brought
three pennants to Georgia. And the
most wonderful thing about It Is that
he enptured for Atlanta her first pen
nant since the year of grace and Monk
t’Une, 1886. Twenty-one years of
waiting, plus the acquisition of BID
Smith have turned the trick,
A vast amount of credit Is due
Grouchy William. He has planned like
a Mnchlnvelll and "fit" like a enta
mount for the flag. And outside of this
city he has had no friends In the
Southern Leaguo circuit. Everybody
has been against him: Charley Frank,
('barley Babb and the others all say of
Bill: "Why, that dub’s nothing but
busher; he's got no business In this
league, and we are going to show him
up." lie has been violently assailed In
every newspaper In the circuit, and
every story that might dissatisfy or
dlsorganlxe his team tins been printed
against Bill. To all of which he has
merely grunted and taken another chew
off hts best friend, a big black plug of
tobacco.
Bill came to Atlanta in the fall of
1905, pledged to give Atlanta a winner
In two years. He took the remnants of
a sadly demoralised *quad and gav*
Memphis the race of her life for second
place last year. Then he whacked off
all »he dead wood, and after a long up
hill fight, won the rag his second year,
living up to his promise.
He has had the sympathy and un
qualified financial supfiort of the At
lanta directorate, but no meddling—for
which he Is duly grateful—and he fens
demonstrated that he Is no "busher"
and that he Is In his proper class In
the Southern League.
Bill Is a good manager because he Is
an excellent Judge of a ball player. Is a
disciplinarian from the word proceed,
and Is the hardest loser In the history
of organised baseball. It takes him
twenty-two hours to get over the loss
of a game. None of your smile and
say: "Better luck next time" for him.
Hardly. He Is plunged In profound,
Stygian gloom after a defeat and his
tongue bites like caustic potash. Where
fore. his players hate to lose a game; It
depresses Bill so.
As a Judge of placers, he Is all to the
good. He has unearthed and sent to
company from the "hushes," Bid Smith,
Ed Sweeney, Bob Spade, Bussell Ford,
Jim Fox, Neal Ball. ^George Paskert
and Grunt Schopp.
Now, about that release of Neal Ball.
Ball's subsequent showing at Mont
gomery made It look as though Smith
had committed a bud break In letting
him go. But between "Count" Castro,
a good dependable shortstop, n fair hit.
ter. nervy In a pinch, and a greut
coacher, and Neal Ball, with a bad arm
that might not get well, Billy did the
wise thing In keeping the South Amer
ican and s »lling Hall. Castro, with his
ever-flowing wit and fun. has been an
Inspiration to his team-mates all the
year and has Injected more ginger and
lighting spirit Into them than any other
one man. He Is Just what was needed
to turn a good team Into a pennant
winning squad, and Bill Smith knew
It. And while Hall has outbntted Cas
tro, It Ih seriously to be doubted if he
would have been half as valuable to the
team
Billy hasn't played regularly since
he left Macon. But he used to he
known ns "Phenomenal Hilly" Smith
and was one of the finest minor league
outfielders in the country. He sturted
out ns an Inflelder, and In a pinch
could now play a creditable game nt
second, third or short. But sixteen
years of gruelling service, plus the
worries and cures of manager, have
sort o' put him on the blink as a play
er ami he has very discreetly with
drawn from active service In the Held,
Personally, Smith Is a quiet, taciturn,
solemn gentleman. That is, In the win
ter months- when the sting of Oefeut
doesn't aeldulate his temper. He saves
his money, dresses well, flashes a mod
est diamond or two, and attends to his
own business. Ills home Is In Knox-
vllltvTenn., where his mother and sis
ters reside. He Is unmarried, and de
votes all of his domestic attention to
them.
Here Is his managerial record:

Exhibition Game Promises
To Be a Great Suc
cess.
The grand wind-up of the baseball
season Is to be pulled off at Ponce De
Leon purk Monday afternoon when the
field sports and exhibition game are
uncorked.
The players and their friends have
been selling tickets far and wide during
the past week, and It looks now
though the receipts would amount up
to a fat sum. Each of the directors will
drop In a check for |60 In the ticket
box when they enter the park this aft
ernoon and there will be plenty of fut
contributions.
It Is likely that nt least a couple of
thousand people, nnd maybe more, will
be out to see the concluding romp of
the season.
In addition to the program which hnk
already been announced, there will be a
parade. A band h*s been secured and
the players In uniform will ride In open
carriages. The parade will start at 1
o'clock.
At 2:30 o'clock the field sports will
begin with the 100-yard dash as the
first event, and chasing the greased pig
as the wind-up.
Mayor Joyner, with the kind assist
ance of Chief Jentxen. nns procured the
pig for the occasion and the porker
has been given fast work-out* for sev
eral days. He Is hard a* steel nnd fast
aa PaSkert running bases. When nicely
greased he will be the slipperiest cus
tomer that has ever hit the burg.
Here Is the program of events:
1. One-hundred-yard dash.
2. Around the buses.
3. Futigo hitting.
4. Distance slide.
5. Long-distance throwing.
6. Most accurate bunt.
7. Chasing the greased pig.

Atlanta defeated Little Rook In the last game of the Southern League
season on the Ponce DeLeon grounds Saturday by the score of 10 to 4.
The Crackers made a picnic out of the battle at the start, but the
Travelers were trying with might nnd main to overthrow Atlanta, nnd In
the third and fifth Atlanta got busy.
In the third inning tho Crackers scored two runs and five In the fifth.
The Crackers hit Walters, Finn’s slubmnn, at will. It could be plainly oeen
that they had him going from the Mart.
Rube Zeller pitched a nice gan*»‘ for Atlanta, nnd the Klntiites could
not hit him hard enough to win. Zeller was In fine form nnd was Invinci
ble In the pinches, although the hit column In the box score does not show
it.
Page, the first man up for Little Rock, hit to short and on Dyer's
error was safe. Gilbert singled nnd went to second. On Rockenfeld's sac
rifice lie went to third nnd scored when Wood grounded to first.
Walters hit to third and on Jordan’s error went to station No. 3. Page
singled nnd Walters scored. On two wild pitches In succession by Zeller
Page went to third. Gilbert singled and Page also scored.
In the third Bowcock tripled and scored when Hess filed out to left.
After the third there was nothing doing for the Travelers.
The Crackers scored their runs In this iqpnner:
Paskert slrgled in the third Inning. Smith, Fox and Jordan did sim
ilar stunts and Paskert counted. Sweeney singled nnd Fox and Smith
scored. Zeller singled (his eighth hit this season), and Jordan and Sweeney
scored. This ended the Inning ar.d also the slaughter.
The Crackers scored three moro tallies In the eighth Inning. Castro
hit to short and on KockenfeUVs error ho was safe nt first. Rube Zeller
fanned. Becker was hit In the shits and Winters wns safe on Page’s error
nt second and Castro scored. Puskcrt singled, Becker scored and on Sid
Smith's hit Winters tallied.

WHEN ATLANTA WON

Up to Saturday about nunnet, at
which time the Atlanta playrra became
the ehamplon. of the Southern ansocla-
tlon of hnaeluill club., Atlanta had
.one twenty-one yeura without a pen
nant winner.

her pennant*. And tho,e were big

It happened at the time the loot rag

Bill Entertain.,
Billy Smith entertntned the member,
of the Atlanta team, the official* of the
hanetmlt association and newspaper
men nt it banquet nt the Aragon Sat
urday night.
Handsome presents, bought by the
team, were given during the evening
to Manager Smith. Secretary Ethridge
and Dr. Mitchell. Among the guests
was A. Clark Miller, secretary to the
president of the league, who represent
ed President Kavnnaugh here at the
wind-up of the season.
Here are the Inscription, which were
on the present, given to Messrs. Smith
and Ethridge and Dr. Mitchell:
“With best wishes to the dandy
llttle manager, from* his pennant
winners, as a slight token of their
appreciation of his ability and
kindness."
"To Colonel Newt Etheridge:
"As a token of our appreciation
of your friendship on all occasions,
especially on the lat and 15th,
from the team."
"A* n token from the team to our

“Eva** Breaks Rscord.
Wilhelm, of the Birmingham team,
wound up the season by breaking n
world’s baseball record. He rounded
out the performance of shutting out
his opponents for the flfty-nlnth con
secutive Inning. The best previous
far an could be ascertained there wns
not a man on the editorial department
of The Georgian, outside of the market
reporter, who claimed to be of years
of discretion when Atlanta won her
1888 hnseball championship.
In order to give Georgian readers
the real facts of what happened back
In those momentous years, the sport
ing editor's assistant dug the neces
sary fncts out of newspaper flies. And
here they are:
By CLIFFORD HORTON
The pennant raees of 1885 and 1886
were memorable In the history of the
Mouth. Both years the contest
hard fought. And both years Atlanta
won.
In 1888 Steve Ryan waa president of
the Atlanta club, or Champions, an they
were called In those days. He backed
the club anti made money. Purcell was
the manager.
In both years Atlanta hud.a great
club In the field, although the team of
1886 was far superior to that of 1885.
Atlanta had easily the best club ever
known In the South that year. The
Atlanta*, a* the dally papers In those
days ct\lled them, played a number of
practice games with the big leaguers
before the season started, and they
? :ave the majors some of the hardest
ought conteatu ever seen In this city.
The Atlanta club played the cham
pion White Stockings, of 'Chicago, a
series of three games In the spring of
1886. Atlanta lost the first game by
the score of 17 to 16, but came back
In the second contest und Anally won
by a count of 11 to 10. Chicago won
the last game.
Pop" Anson was manager of Chica
go that year. Anson played a great
game at first for Chicago, and he was
probably the only man In the baseball
world who got hts picture In an Atlanta
paper In 1886.
Anson hail on his team such stars as
Pfeffer, second base: Cline, left field,
anil others too numerous to mention.
The attendance at the practice and
league games was remarkably Urge for
a city the size of Atlanta. Almost al
ways a* many as 900 persons witnessed
each game, and many times more than
a thousand paid admission.
