Southern Champions Will
Not Defend Their Titles
Preparations for the coining Southern
tennis championship continue steadily. The
scats for the spectatora at the tournament
hate been put In plane. Superlnteadent
1’lrkerlng and Ills men nrc working to mid
night each night watering the courts and
getting them In good condition, and the
work of extending the car Hue la progress
ing nicely.
A letter was received today by I*. !>.
Print, chalrmau of the tennis committee of
the Atlanta Athletic Club, from 4. 8. David-
son. champion of the South, saying that he
did lint expect to attend the toiiriinnient to
dcffiid Ids title, and adding Hint aa far na
he could learn none of the titles would lie
defended. This menus that there will be
no challenge rounds and that the players
who win the singles, doubles and women's
singles will lie the champions, without fur
ther play.
Mr. Itavldson’s letter would seem to In
dicate. that the Washington plgyera have n
colossal groueli over the fact that the
tournament was transferred from Washing
ton to Atlanta and their peevishness over
the affair Is quite nmualng to the members
of .the local club, who ttfllsve that they can
pull off a Southern tournament without any
assistance from the District of Columbia.* .
President Sam Williams of the Southern
Tennis Association received this morning
the entry of Arthur Fischer and Karl Utile,
of Cincinnati. The Oblonns state that they
will play In singles and doubles nnd that
they will lie In Atlanta Sunday, which will
give them a day of practice before the
tournament opena.
These two players linve done good work
In trl-stnte ami Ohio slate tournaments
nud will prove a welcome addition to the
coming tournament at Fast Lake.
The tournament committee has announced
that Frank Heyiiolda will act as referee of
the tournament.

DOC CHILDS’ PITCHING
TOO MUCH FOR BARONS
LARGE PACKAGE OF FRESH “DOPE”
If Birmingham had some speedy pitchers
they would be hard -to bent Vnughnn'a
Angels play a nice game In the field.
Matty Matthews kept the peace Thursday
—nil day. The decisions sectued to suit bliu
and be emitted nearer; a' howl. *
Crosier showed his speed In the accoud
Inning when, he-laid down a bunt'toward
nrat. Meeks went out after It. fielded the
ball and; started back, to the ling. He saw
that Creator was going to lx*at him there,
so he slid for the bag, feet foremost. Dicky
landed, these a fraction of a second sooner,
however, and got credit for a hit because
of his fast wogk.
President Knvnnaugli has served notice
on Harry Vaughan that he cannot play In
another league game thla year. That's the
same sort of a notice that he has served
on Billy Smith-only llllly’ii notice doca not
take effect unless he drops out of the game
once more.
• The New Orleans p>i say that the
Crescent City putdlc has been rallying
round Charley Frank ever since the charges
of "live balls" were first made.
It's otld, . though, 'JU*. the attendance
does not show It.
Harry Vaughan was asked how the at*'
tendance was the laat time hts tfhm was
In New Orleans. "I got three guarantee*,"
be said. "1 took away 11,000 from Atlanta
for my games with them aud 9225 for my
gnmes In New Orleans. I guess that shows
somethlug about the ’backbone of tho
league.'
Doc Childs performed an odd stunt. He
gave three wild pitches uiid ogly ou* base'
on Jmlls. It Is not once In ten thousand
ftmef that a pitcher gives more wild pitches
than base* on'balls. • . • ,
Childs had excellent control, except for
the three bad ones, nnd with a little more
work ;wlM Interest any of them.
As a special feature of Indies' day, Mntty
Matthews hat agreed f6 do one of-his fa
mous ground and lofty, tumbling acts.
A man can tell by the. also of the crowds
nt Piedmont park whether or not Atlanta
Is winnlug. Thursday, after the lost double-
header, the Attendance .was not quite op to
par. . .. \ } _ , • . 4 \
South Atlantic papers are openly charging
Hint "Btiggs" Itn^mond can bo bought and
•old by tin horn grttnlderii like so ’much
cheese. The Snvaunah Pie** states that he
was drunk before the. game Saturday and
that lie was supplied with bqofe by the
gamblers who had twt ngulmtt Savannah.
The papers aro catling for Raymond's ek-
pulKlon nnd It la doubtful If such an. act
would not be for the beat Interest of base
ball.
The New Orleans Item says the New Or
leans tcnui Is the best behaved In the
Bouthertl League. Which statement, by the
way. Is about tbe worst fusult that seres'
Southern league tenuis have had to aland
for this year.

BIRMINGHAM 1. ATLANTA 2,
In a game of ball like those you read
about, Atlanta put the knout to the
Blrmiagham Barona Thursday by a
score of 2 to 1. '
Both teams played baseball for
keeps, and the game was one of the
most entertaining of the year. There
were Just enough hits and Just enough
brilliant plays and a,sufriclent quantity
of good, wholesome excitement stored
in the hour and thirty-five minutes that
the game lasted to make It Just what
the doctor ordered.
"Doc" Childs appeared on the tiring
line for the Crackers for the first time
since his term of suspension expired,
and he djd nice work. Four hits, two
of which, were made by the mighty
Molesworth, were the net result of the
Barons' batting efforts, and a single
base on balls n ; as all he gave up?
Atlanta scored twice. In the first In
ning hits by Winters and Morse turned
the trick, While in the second Jordan's
good two-bagger and Archer’s single
accomplished the desired effect.
The Atlanta players were right on
their toes all through the game, and
It was evident from the Jump that no
tenm In .the league could beat them,
provided their pitcher held out—and ht
certainly did.
