Poor Old Chattanooga Has
A Long Wait Coming to Her
The fann of the Southern League
have suffered varloua schea and Ilia,
but quite the largest "misery" that ever
came their way Is the pain that Chat
tanooga gives them In thinking that
the Southern League Is coming around
with Its hat In Its hand and ask that
town to take a franchise in the South
ern League.
Chattanooga claims that her feellngl
were hurt because after giving a place
to the Shreveport team last year when
It was driven from home by yellow
fever, Harry Erlich went around the
circuit and said that Chattanooga did
not patronise baseball. Aa a matter
of fact, Chattanooga owed Shreveport
a debt of gratitude for putting a really
first clae* team there and It la a mat
ter of record that the attendance was
punk In the extreme. What "Diamond
Harry” ealdr was only the truth modi
fied.
On the charge that Chattanooga was
kicked out of the league without rea
son. Well, talk to any of the manag
ers who were In the league at the time
the "kicking out” took place. The
Chattanooga |fkm had become ,o mix-
erable that It wait it Joke nml the at
tendance no small that It meant linan.
rial ruin for the backer*. Chattanooga
wan not kicked out, at that, but bought
out. And the bjickera or the team
were most delighted to get the Iran-
chlee elephant off|the!r hand*.
■ And right now_bj Jt stated: If chat-
tanooga is going to' wait around f„r
tha Southern League to take It, hat
off and go and prostrate Itself l n th,
dust and ask ChattUnoogn—Chutinnuu-
ga of all the villages In the world!— t,
“please accept a p4ace In the dreuit,"
why Chattanooga will still be waiting
when baseball has passed away, and
the Atlantic ocean’m dry and the deiert
of Sahara Is muddy.
Chattanooga Is a hot town tn hi„r
about what It would do If it had >
baseball team, but a mighty poor on,
to turn out crowd, widen It has one.
If It comes to a show down, let u,
have poor, old, limping Little Rock;
and game little Shrornport or else ,
six-club league. Anything rather than
blatant Chattanooga.
LOCALS HOLD
THAT RECORD
Llttl* Roek It nut with n claim that It*
game Monday, which waa completed In
on* hour and roven minute*, wna th* faat-
eat game ever played In tho Southern
League.
Aa « matter of fart, that record goea to
Atlanta, with a ninrk of aouiethlng cloae to
80 minute*.
That time waa made In the laat gnm* of
th* 1104 non aim. The outcome wna of In
terest to tf*lth*r team, nnd In consequence
hath went oat to a** how faat they could
play It. regardleaa of the reault. Phenom
enal time waa made and the Atlanta mark
still stand* aa the world's record for a fast
baroball game.
