Fourth Will Be Great Day
With Local Sport Lovers
Ponrtb of July vies with Interest In the
sporting world with the other big "day In
the sport's calendar—Labor day.
Between the two there la llttla choice
and there la alwaya something atlrrlng In
. the sporting way In Atlanta ou both of
• those great holidays.
The prospects for l)lg happenings on tble
July 4 are good.
The baselmll team will play two games
with Nashville. The first one will b« called
In the morning at 10 a. ni. and the seooud
at the nsual time In the afternoon.
It Is IlkHy that, If the weather Is fair
all day, a crowd the like of which the
league has never known will be on hand
for the festivities; and If attendance rec
ords are not shattered the weather man
will undoubtedly Ik* at fault.
The local association Is not worrying It
self to death about the attendance figures
that day, for the money will be pooled any
way. but they would like to set a uew
record, however, and they stand a good
dbsnce of doing so.
The Interest In baseball will not l»e eon-
fined to the professional end. The Com
mercial League, for example, has three
good games for that dny, which will un
doubtedly Interest all the friends of the
contestants and draw largo crowds.
And In addition to that there will l*e
the Innumerable baseball games among the
amateur teams, from the contests between

ftpeclat to The Georgian.
Cordele, Gn., July 2.-A report appeared
recently lu certain Georgia papers that
the Cordele team would drop out ot the
league. The management and owners of
the Cordele tram. Messrs, llolt snd iMipree,
stated today that the Cordele team would
remain In the league -until* the end of the
arwaon. They aahl that some of the gntucs
night bo played at tithrr places, but thst
the Jenin was certain to fliilah the schedule.

The Cordele team left this morning for
Albany for the uext series according to

the American cup.
men whose hair Is streaked with gray
or perhaps totally lacking—the men who
piny onco or twice a year—right down to
the kids who play every day.
Certain It Is that every diamond In At
lanta will Ik* In use for that day, and the
■wat of the baseball will drown out In
the afternoon the noise of the festive
firecracker.
The Southern Tennis championship will
lie In full blast July 4 aud will attract
large uutnl>era of spectators. Heats have
Ih»ou provided for the spectators and a
large crowd will be on hand to see the
battles for tennis honors. One of the fea
tures of the afternoon will be aome of
the matches In the woman's championship,
which always attract much attention.
The two Atlanta gun cluba will undoubt
edly put In buay days. All-day shoots are
on at the Atlanta Athletic Club and the
Atlanta Gun Club and the havoc which
will he wrought In the clay pigeons will
Imi something rather fierce, though entirely
bloodless.
The local golfers will put In • quiet dny
and It Is doubtful If anything will be stir
ring among the Atlanta lovers of the great
Hootch game.
All lu all the Fourth promises to be cele
brated In it atreniioua, If not In a particu
larly fitting manner, by the aport loving
public of Atlanta. Darting rain It will be

Doctor Says Athletics Are

By Private Leased Wire.
New York, July 1—Athletics will soon he

doctors are to be believed.
Dr. Robert - E. Coughlin, of Brooklyn,
affairs that othletlca are detrimental to
health, and that when a man seeks strength
for strength's sake he Is on dangerous
ground. The physician—and he stands high—
has collected a mu of statistics to back
up hla claim.
Ho declares that athletes are especially
subject to:
Heart disease.
Pneumonia.
Ccrebro spinal disease (meningitis, neuritis
end the like). *
Tuberculosis.
Infectious diseases of many klyda.
He affirms that 128 athletes died In tba
year Just closed, their deaths being largely
due to their unusual exertloua.
The avernge age at death of the 128 wm
27 years, while the average duration of life,
according to Insurance statistics. Is 28 years.
Edward Paysou, Weston, Jim O'Rourke,

are merely freaks according to the doctors,

ATLANTA PLAYS GOOD BALL, BUT
COAL BARONS “CANT
BE BEAT."
In a loosely played, but, af times. In
tensely exciting contest on the Piedmont
diamond Saturday afternoon, Iwfore the
largest crowd of the week, the Firecrack
ers gave up another game to the Birming
ham Iron Workers, much to the chagrin
of the local fans, who were confident that
with the mighty Hubs In the box the lo
cals would surely turn out a victory.
Hut It was not the Rube'a fault that the
locals lioys did not pull out victorious,
for at all stages of the game he pitched
good ball, particularly when a bit would
have meant two or three runs. This hap
pened In the fourth and sixth Innings. An
error by Morae and the faUure of Hilly
Smith to connect tttth a fly were respon
sible for, at least, two ran*.
Doth teams sent men over the plate In
the third. Sallee, Mdeaworth, Smith and
Alcork each got a single iu succession, and
the two former scored. When Atlanta took
her turn, poor pitching on the part of
Sallee gnre Zellar, Crosier and Hhl Smith
free passes to first, filling the t»ases. A
timely two-bagger by Whltey Morse
brought three men'home.
A three-bagger by Gear In the fourth
and a single by Oyler were responsible for
the ran which tied the acore, amF only
excellent pitching by Zellar prevented the
visitors from scoring two more ruua In
the same Inning. But the two came In the
seventh, when singles by Moleswortb, Al-
cock aud Gear gave them two easy runs.
