Oh, vary well!
Thera would be no excitement
winning them all.
The uncertainty of the game Is one
of Its chief charms. . ,
Vaughn surely lias a first class
team. The Infield la speedy, the out
Held Mia hard and the pitchers—wall,
sometimes they ate pretty keen. And
Frldky waa one of the times.
It took-flfteen minutes of perajm-
alon to get Wilhelm before the cgmara
Friday. lie said that he was going to
pitch tho game, and It would give him
hard luck. But Anally he allowed the
tern man to snap him. And. since
won. he has arranged to have fils
picture taken Immediately before each
Kamo during the rest of Ute season.
It's .a bum sport who howls when
the home team le beaten fair and
square In a contest where each team
plays well. Friday's game waa a hum
mer. But"-the Birmingham pitcher
happened to bo a little too good.
Think how Joyful those Birmingham
newspaper men must be. They get
tiq few chances to cheer about victories
over Atlanta.

C. Smith, fleer nnd Oyler were the

Birmingham surely has some hard
and timely swatters.
Hard luck that Hughes had to spill
the gams. Still It couldn't be helped.

from the tact that' It waa Hughes'
thltteemh game for Atlanta: Also that
It was Friday.

rashriUa, Tenn., June 30.—Probably
j 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 Cow*an and
Charles "Rodger*, of Knoxville, cham
pion* of Tennessee.
It was the first of the challenge
round contest* of the tournament) and
the Rodger* 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 thla Juncture the Rodgers brothers
had won two out of the three *ets and
five out of the nine games In the fourth
set. At one time they were within
1 point of winning tfje fourth and de
ciding set, but over eagernesB lost the
game for them. The scores In the
three sets finished were: Hunt
Lee 3-3, and Rodgers brother* 7-S
6-3.
The largest crowd of the w*»ek '
nessed the match and each brill
leartlly applauded. Freqtiently
work of the two teams, as well a.s
of each Individual man* was won
ful. and it was the opinion that .
class was by far the best ever sec/ "
Nashville. Some of the returns,

seemed well nigh impossible. -j
At one stage of the game Hunt v

heat and the exertion of tho pre\u

New York, June 30.—We are to have on

routine of the tnld-Rtitnmer racing. It is the
Knut Agnlnat the West again, and Instead of
MrChemtey being pitted against Heruiln,
two new uhamplons have .arisen—Sir Ilnon,

than Whimsical, Timber, {Accountant or Or-

Another respected Western authority who
saw 8tr Huon win all of his derbies In tho
West this spring, says: "Sir Huon won't
be at himself until ho reaches Saratoga. A
little rest there will give him some fresh
edgo and then the 3-year-old championship
will go to this Western flyer.
