12 wmmmmmmmmmmm THE ATLANTA GEORGIA GIAN, MONDAY, JUNE 4, 1 mm ATLANTA STILL CLIMBS TOWARD TOP SPORTS Edited by PERCY H, WHITING. n AMERICAN BALL TEAM MAY GO ABROAD =J BOTH GIANTS AND YANKEES MAY TOUR GREAT BRITAIN Now That Baseball Has Taken Firm Hold in England, Teams May Do a Little Post- Season Barnstorming. S*. fal * hrr M By 8AM CRANE. Ylf Private Lenoml Wire. 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. PHILLIPS IS JOLTED SOME CRACKERS FALL ON HIM FOR FOURTEEN SAFETIES AND WIN WITH EASE.

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. JAKEY AT2 HERE. Jacob Ats haa lam|ed.

"The country out on the coast Is flue, but I like tbe people here. They tssssst(ttSI 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- urdsy. "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. POLE VAULT RECORD GOES. II. II.
