Xeir York. Jane A—A trip to Kmlmid
la New York Iwaeball team la the latest
Lit of news that local fandom will have
toi talk nhoat.
There Is not much doubt hut that one or
tii* other, perhaps both (and we are not
p ttlac swelled! will win n ehsmplonsblp.
In that case It Is prwslble that both the
(Hants and Yankeea will be Invited acmes
pond. I
)ur Knfllsh cousins have become In
fatuated with onr national fame. They
ave forgotten the numerous lunches tinder
p tents that go with a three-day aeanre
cricket: and are. ftrange as It may ap
pear. wllllnjr to forego their stomachs for
A league of liasrhall clubs la In existence
in Hngland sad Is playing games nt present
f .r the championship of Great Ilrltaln.
Ireland Is not Included yet, but the "Quid
l»arf will be there with both feet In time,
never fear.
Now while the baaeball teoma In England
in ay, aa they are playing the game at prea-
enf. arouse themselves and a few friends,
they are not putting up the atyle of gome
tlmt will tend to make the great American
game a thing of permanency there, eape-
11ally where there Is to rnurh conservatism
nn11 love for cricket and other ancient In
st Itutions to b© overcome.
The English players, who have taken up
onr game are enthualaatlc over It, but they
are la "hush league ela•#" Jaat now. Con
sequently many English gentlemen who are
Interested In the promotion of baselaill In
that country are dealroua of having one
of our New York teams g*» over there to
give an Illustrated exhibition of how the
“real article" Is played.
The expense of the two teams will be
paid If necesaary and the champion teams
would, of course, be selected aa the onea to
exhibit the beauties of the game to our
ambitious, sport-loving cousins.
This will not be the first Invasion of
England by American basetmll players, *1
though It promises to be by far tbe most
Important'In tbe way of results. In 1874
the Hoatona and Athletics jf Philadelphia
Introduced laiseball In England. Harry
Wight was manager of the Hastens and Al
Itench was In charge of the Quaker de
tschment. Anson captained the latter and
George Wright the Hubltes. Al Hpnlblng,
Jim O'Kourke and Tim Humane were play
era. Not much of an Impression waa made
on the Englishmen with Imaeball nt that
time, there being a too deep-seated objec
tion against Innovation that would put
cricket In the background, but the Ameri
can ball player* made a holy show of tbe
Englishmen at their own game.
In 188f-9 the "Spalding Tourists," Includ
ing John Ward and Ned llanlon, wound up
their all-nrotind-the-world tour In England,
but alao failed to dent the hearts of the
old. conservative English cricketers.
Uut the times were not ripe then as they
sre now.

THE FIRST SHOOT.
ATLANTA’S PENNANT CHANCES—AND SOME OTHER DOPE
Well, talk about going tome.
May 18 the Atlanta team was In fifth
place, with a per cent of .484. Now the
Crackers are a close third, with a per cent
of .516.
Two games won for Atlanta will put the
Crackers tied for first place with New Or
leans, provided Shreveport loses one game
lu the meantime.
Gee. It looks like n cinch. Of course, It
la not so easy to win the next two from
New Orleans, but anyway they will come
before long.
After leaving Atlanta the Pelican* fly to
Montgomery, where they are sure of a
warm reception; while the IMratea sail to
Birmingham, where trouble awalta them.
And when that awltch takes place Mem
phis comes to Atlanta for a aeries. When
the end of those games comes Atlanta
may be leading tbs league.
Then conies the end of the west's
slot! of the east.
After It la over the Crackers go out on an
other troublesome trip. In rapid succession
they play Hhreveport. three gomes; Nsw Or
leans. four games; Memphis, three games,
and Little Hock, three games. After this
Invasion of the west by tbe east the eastern
clubs will fight among themselves for
nwhlle.

It's n cinch he has been there.) "There
was some little trouble about getting away,
but 1 worked It all right. Anil I ext *ct

Is flue, but I like tbe people here. They

have a pretty fast league out there, but It
Is shout the same as the Houthern, the
Eastern League nnd the American Associa
tion. The Houthern always has been n
fast league and I hear that It Is no slower
than usual this year.
A whole lot of strange things happened
In the Houthern League Haturdny. Atlanta
juat naturally ate up New Orleans. Little
Bock !>eat Birmingham, Montgomery shut
out Memphis and Nashville made twice as
many runs as Hhreveport. It would have
been a craxy dope-artist who would have
picked those four winners.
It took 159 minutes foe Chicago and Cin
cinnati to piny out tilne full Innings Hat-

"Red" Russell won his game Saturday
ngnlnat Jacksonville. Old "Clover Top" la
pitching and batting well In the Houth At
lantic and seems to have many years of
baseball usefulness ahead of bliu.
Raymond let Marnn down with two bits
mid then lost hIs game. The Rug's run of
hard luck seems to continue.
do agnlnst him was to get two hits.
Holmes pitched great hall for Augusta
Saturday. Tho best that Charleston could
Plank. Hygcrt and Powers were nil
bumped In the first game Haturdny between
New York and Philadelphia. Bender won
the scA-onil game for Connie Mack's ouce-
cbamplons.
New Orleans la on the down slant. That
ahut-out by Memphis Hunday waa a hard
blow. Mniiuel pitched good ball, but l.leb-
hardt pitched better. The gentleman with
the "Dutch" name aeema to lie the star
of tbe Bluff City twirling staff.
O'Brien, the rellcan third baseman,
played a tidy game* Saturday. He bent
down several alxxllng shots along his alley,
nnd scooped up hunts oo the dead run. He
Is about the cleverest third bagman seen
at Piedmont this year.
Fox "wasn't doing ao bad” Saturday.
He hit for two doubles and* a single, and
scored three runs. Fox has It on any first
baseman seen In this neck of tbe woods.
Loucks end Pfillllps struck out two bats
men each Saturday.
ATHLETIC CLUB MAY HAVE
TENT CAMP AT EAST LAKE
The latest scheme to farther popularise
the handsome country club department of
the Atlanta Athletic Club la a summer
camp, at which tho members are to live
during the warm months to he wlthlu easy
reach of the dull grounds and the many
privileges that they offer.
The scheme originated with F. O. Byrd,
one of tbe club's most enthusiastic mem
hers, who fs himself spending the summer
near the club grounds. It Is bis plan to
establish a teut camp, provide a cook and
throw It open to the members of the At
lanta Athletic Club. A small sum would
be charged weekly to pay the expenses
and for the wear on the camping outfit.
The camp would !m> run at coat, however,
and this teut life would prove a cheap, as
well as a very pleasant, wny of spending
the summer.
The camp would not he pitched on club
grounds, but would lie within strlklug dis
tance of the tennis courts, gulf grounds
nnd the lake, and yet would l>c so near to
the car line that It would t»e convenient
to all.
League Standings
This scheme smns to need only a start
tp be a huge success.
Another plan which la proposed for the
entertainment of the dub'members Is a
regatta. With canoes and boats galore
and with all kinds of enthusiasm In canoe
ing. rowing, sailing and awlmmlng It looks
ns though a regatta could be made a huge
success.
As far aa Is known no official action
has been taken by the dub, hut the mem
bers are eutbuslqgtlc over the plau and
are boosting It vigorously.
The courts of the dub are In active uae
these days with the players who are pre
paring for the Houthern Tennis champlop-
ship, which Is now so near at hand.
