WHlTINfc Happenings in Sportville SPECTACULAR TENNIS IN DOUBLES AT NASHVILLEi R00ER8 BROTHER8 WIN. Nashville, Tenn., June 30.—The Rogers brothers of Knoxville de feated Hunt and Lee, the western stars, In the challenge round for the Tennessee championship In doubles, and thus retain the title for another year. The Rogers brothers won this morning the fourth and deciding set, taking the last two games and finishing the set 6-4. Special to The Georgian. • • Nashville, Tenn., June 30.—Probably the most brilliant and the most spec tacular tennis ever witnessed In the South was that played yesterday after noon between ‘ Hunt and Lee, the Western players, and Cowan and Charles Rodgers, of Knoxville, cham pions of Tennessee. It was'the first of the rhnllcnge round contests of the tournntnent, and the Rodgers brothers essayed to de fend their cups against Hunt and Lee, winners of the tournament In doubles. The battle began at 4 .o'clock and continued unfinished till dark. Nearly four sets had been played when Re feree Ernest Cooper stopped the play. At this Juncture the Rodgers brothers had won two out of the three sets and five out of the nine games In the fourth eel. At one time they were within 1 point of winning the fourth and de ciding set, but over eagerness lost the game for them. The scares In the three sets finished were: Hunt and Is*e 6-1, and Rodgers brothers 7-6 and 6-3. The largest crowd of the week wit nessed the match and each brilliant play, no matter who made II, was heartily applauded. Frequently the work of the two teams, as well as that of each individual man, was wonder ful, and It was the opinion that the class was by far the best ever seen In Nashville, Rome of the returns, es pecially those of the Rodgers brothers, seemed well nigh Impossible. At one stage of the game Hunt was "all In" and had to quit os the Intense heat and the exertion of the previous matches told on him. He took the full time limit out, but finally resumed play. The match In doubles will be con cluded today. If Hunt Is able the challenge round In singles with Cowan Rodgers will come off this afternoon. Otherwise the cup goes to Cowan Rodgers a second time and he will not have to defend It at this tournament Intersectional Rivalry In Eastern Racing Game By J. 8. A. MACDONALD. y Private Leased Wire.

Burns and Hchreck were to have met In Terre Haute ou July 13, but the malinger of the Seattle club wanted the Unit, and made the men nu offer of a 33.600 purse, which they probably will accept. They gre to meet for twenty rounds July 29. Tom McCary, manager of the rnrlfle Ath letic Club of I<«** Angeles, Is anxious to have Jack O’Brien and Sam Berger meet ‘before his club.

Score hr innings: Vaughn surely has a first Claes team. The Infield Is speedy, the out field hits hard and the pitchers—well, sometimes they are pretty keen. And Friday was one of the times. ’ It took fifteen minutes of persua sion to get Wilhelm before the camera Friday. He said that he was going to pitch the game, and It would give him hard luck. But finally he allowed the camera man to snap him. And, since he won, he has arranged to have hie picture taken Immediately before each game during the rest of the season. It's a bum sport who howls when the home team Is beaten fair and square In a esmtest where each team playa well. Friday's game was a Hum mer. But the Birmingham pitcher happened to be a little too good. Think how Joyful those Birmingham newspaper men must be. They get so few chances to cheer about victories over Atlanta. C. Smith, dear and Oyler were the batters Friday. Birmingham surely has tome hard and timely swatters. Hard luck that Hughes had to spill the game. Still It couldn't be helped. thirteenth game for Atlanta. Also that It was Friday. Morae made two hits Friday: Croxler, Sid Smith and Billy Smith one each. . Oyler .plnyed a cracking good game at short’. ' Some of hie fielding work n’tu unusually brilliant. He and Whitey Morse were quite the fielding stare of the game. The Birmingham team plays with ali much snap and go ns any team which has hit Piedmont this season. All the men seem to' be In the game all the time, and their work It usually first clast. Billy Smith certainly hasn't any thing to learn about the fielding game. He gets everything that goes Into hie territory, and gets It on the Jump. That Shreveport team Is certainly a wonder. It trimmed New Orleans again with all eaee Friday. < Lee did' the pitching sgalnet Phillips. Rapp, the Shreveport right fielder. Is batting Just before the battery,. which would- seem to Indicate that he Is not much of a man with the stick. Pitcher Quick will hardly do. Mem phis landed on him Friday for thirteen hits, one a home run. What Babb did to Quick was awful Four times at bat, four runs, four hits; one a home run.

Our ’Steemed “Contemps” and What They Are Saying What a sad experience for the Boast- ly easy defeat, says Friday's Hlrmlng ere. We call to mind some words of The Georgian's brlllant sporting editor, about. "If Montgomery had as good a iit.iH. ■> m illnnta " nl.i U'Kv lha *4f H team as Atlanta,” etc. Why the "It, Percy 7—Montgomery Journal. Well, Ho, after Friday’s hapepnlngs I'll pass that question on to Nashville. Nashville 8. Montgomery 2. Suffer ing gimlets! The Barons will leave this morning at 6:60 o'clock for Atlanta, where they en counter the Firemen, Walter Taylor, Joe Curtis, Percy Whiling and young Harris. There Is as much to be feared from the latter quartette as from the real enemy.—Birmingham Ledger. Gee. It's a sweet reputation'they are giving ue. The Atlanta Georgia Is seeking In formation. When an erudite student of bpllology, like Professor Whiting, finds It necessary to ask for enlight enment It Is always a pleasure and a privilege to furnish It. He aske: “Is Hughes the beat pitcher In the league, end, If he len'I. who Is?" Easy, Percy, easy. It doesn't even require a sec ond's thought. Did you see the first game at Piedmont Park Wednesday?— Montgomery Journal. Let's see, he Is referring to Maxwell. And Maxwell hail the big head traded from him Friday vllle. Rut Hughes was beaten the same day by Birmingham so there le little satisfaction for either side. ham Age Herald. Childs may have been a dead one a month ago, but he la one of the llvest propositions In the league today. One of the most absurd things that has been perpetrated In baseball late ly was the statement In an Atlanta pa per that Atlanta would probably get Schwarts. Schwarts simply outclasses the other second basemen In this lesgue when It cornea to all round work, batting, fielding, etc.—Montgomery Ad vertiser. Oh, piffle. If he was such a good man, why was ha suspended so long? That “Injured ankle" story le too thin. The reason was that he Is a chronic anarchist snd always ready to break up any team he Is on. Likewise, he la a per petual candidate for the Job of man ager and every team which has ever had him has been half afraid of him. Would It not be a pretty good Idea for the newspapers In the league to line up behind the umpires and give them the best of every deal? The poor umpt are up against It all the time and If the fans In most of the cities In the leagues and the teams In all of them get any support from the papers In their atiacke on the "umps" by Nash- they will unite In actions which will Maxwell was knocked out of the box by Nashville Friday and Burnum was substituted. To think that anybody could knock Maxwell out—and then to think that It was Nashville! Cleveland Is still winning a few. Chi cago, was Friday's victim—score 8 to 2. Washington and Philadelphia . only used a few pitchers and catchers Fri day. The full list was Kltson, Hey- don. Bender, Coakley, Schreckengost, Falkenberg, Patton, Wakefield, Bender, Bartley, Dygert and Powers. Young of Boston and McGInnlty of New York fought a good battle, but the .Boston man had the better of It. New York made as many errors as hits. . The score was Boston 1, New Tork 2. Savannah has the anarchist battery —Kohoff and Kahlko{f. Gee, such aw ful names. Wgycross Is rather running away from the other teams In the State league. Just at .present she le some .169 to the good and going strong. Brunswick, the newcomer in the league, la a safe second, while Cordele and Valdoeta are bunched for third place. • ATLANTA MEN BACK FROM NASHVILLE TOURNAMENT Nat Thornton and Carleton Smith, tho two Atlanta players who have been at tho Tennesoee tennis championship In KafhvlUe, rot limed Saturday morning. They report that the tournament there waa a great success, and say that practi cally all the players now In Nashville will lie here for the Southern championship. Though both Mr. Smith and Mr. Thorn ton were defeated by Ueuben Hunt, the University of Michigan man, who won the Nashville tournament and who plays Charles Rodgers Saturday afternoon for the championship of Tennessee, they do not consider him Invincible and think that It Is possible for any one of several Atlanta Iilnyors to get the bet of hlin, provide they piny their best. Mr. Hunt will he In Atlanta Monday will 1m followed Tucwdny morning by hi. partner In lb.* doubler, W^Jt.r C. Lw. Mr Lee will spend Holiday In Knoxville.

Barons Surprise Talent By Defeating Crackers BtRMtNGHAM 3 ATLANTA 1 Tom Hughes' string of nine straight vic tories was rudely severed Friday afternoon at Piedmont park when the Barons from Baronvllle applied the knife and won out by a aoore of 3 to 1. / "Tall Tommy" pitched nice ball and was there with the speed, curves snd control. But Wilhelm was even a little better and waa Just a shade too good. The Atlanta batters—try as they could snd did—could not locate "Wlllle'a" curves for more than 6 bits, which netted one run. The game was a good one, faat and well played. The Atlanta entry got away from the barrier first, but coming up the back stretch Jockey Vaughan called on hla speedy aggregation for a little more steam and the way they swept Into the home stretch nnd down under the wire took the wind out the Crackera and left them panting, two lengths In the rear. A strenuous bunch of hits In the fifth Inning bent Atlanta. Oyler, Wilhelm anil Smith all got blnglea nnd the first-named pair scored. The fielding of both teams was nnususlly rllllnnt ami the number of really sensa tional plays which were sandwiched Into the nine Innings was quite phenomenal.} Here It Is In figures; .. ATLANTA- AB.
