THE ATLANTA GEORGIA Nv MONDAY, JULY 16, 1908. !CRACKERS HOME FOR A LONG STAY I Pennant Race Grows Warmer Along With the Weather After one of the moot spectacular climb* In the history of the Southern League,.the' Birmingham bunch has hit tha top of the Udder, where It It tied with the New Or leans aggregation Of birds for the lead. On May 25, the Barons were In fifth place. Now they are-tied for firat. Both teams have a per cent of .fiOOt New Orleans has won 4S games and lost 32, while Birmingham has won 45 and lost 90. While the Barons and the Birds are fighting hard for first place, Shreveport,- il mn In the third bole, la n contender. With 45 games won and 31 lost, the tink ers have a per cent of .592, and a posi tion which Is near euongh the front to count In the rush for the pennant. Atlanta's position Is most encouraging. In fourth place, with 41 games won and 31 lost (.654) the team Is safely ahead of Memphis, and out of danger from the sec ond division, And also the Crackora ore near enough the front timt fig| r n u make It more than Interesting for anj the leaders. With a long home series at hand, against the western clubs, which were so loglo- riously trimmed the last time the team was at home, prospects look bright for At- lanta. It Is going to take some tall bustling duilng July and September, however, for the Crackers only have seven games home In August, and It will be a mighty bard matter to keep near the front with so many road games to be played. However, Billy Smith Is cheerful, that Is a good algn. ‘'Montgomery and Atlanta are np against It In August," be said Monday morning. But I think that we will get along right. The team Is working good, and that counts." * M. Kutz Team Now Leads Commercial League Race SATURDAY'S RESULTS. M. Kuts 3. West End 2. J. Bllvey 8, J. Regensteln 6. Beck 4k Gregg 5, Foote & Davies 4. LEAGUE~STANDING. Clubs- M. Kuts West Knd J. Hilvey J. Regensteln.. .. Beck A Gregg.. . Foote ft Davies.. , The tie for the leadership of the Com merclal League has been broken, and the M. Kuts team how has a fair lead In the race for The Georgfan'a pennant. The Mil : liners Jumped to the front Ratnrday by ^defeating the West Ends, who had a clean •coro up to that time. . The J. Hilvey team won another game, . and Is now tied for second place with the 'West End team. While the leaders were straggling Saturday for first place, the tall- , coders were wrestllpg It out fpr the honor of getting away from the bottom. The con testants for cellar honors were Beck ft Gregg and Foote ft Davies, and by win nlng, the Beck ft Gregg team went to fifth place. KUTZ WINS""HARD GAME. The most brilliant game of ball yet put up by any Commercial league team waa that between M. Kuts tnd West End Hat- unlay at Piedmont park. The game was Interesting from start to finish. The threatening rain kept away the expected crowd. The game waa a case of Sullivan vs. Boggs. Hood, the firat man up In the first Inning, went out', short to firat. Mid- dlebrooka went via. the aame route. Holms reacbftl first on ah error, and aeored West End's first run on hits by Uunnlcutt and Parks. The M. Kuts team failed to connect with ,the ball until the fourth Inning,' when Abies, the pinch hitter, faced Boggs for i the second time. Charley, feeling confident he would redeem himself, sent a Texas ■ leaguer over second. He stole second and third, and while he was performing his fleet-footed base running. Edens fauiied the air, Mlddlebrooks, catcher for Weal End, dropped th** ball, and as the first baseman ran up, Mlddlebrooks threw to "first, and Holms returned the ball home without touching first base, throwing wild. Ahlcs scored, and Edens also circled the bases, giving M. Kuts two runs. In the sixth, a hit, a base on balls, and a hit netted M. Kuts their last run. In the ninth, s base on balls and two hits sent West End's last run across the plate. * It took dose decisions to decide many of the plays, and Empire Winn certainly haa the best Judgment yet displayed in the ; Commercial League. The features of the game were the pitch ing of 8ulllvan when, In the seventh In- , ning, hn retired the aide with five halls thrown, striking out the last man. Not withstanding the fact that Iloggs fulled to get the declslou, he pitched brilliant ball, holding the heavy-hitting Kuts team down to three hlta.

The arrival of the team has enabled local Inquirers to goitre many questions which have popped up recently and remained un answered until the present There was "the Brown mystery," for ex- I ample. Brown landed with much flourish j and played in one game. Then lie ilropped ont of the 1k>x s<>ores and nobody seems to j know mnch about him. Manager Smith explains that Brown was brought down for a trial and that he is still with the team, though he has never been signed. Brown is a trifle light for Southern League work, and if Is likely that he drill *r‘*t his pink slip. Wallace, the South" Atlantic man, will take the only vacant place In the out field, and that leavea no opening for Brown. • Duggan has not been signed either. “Doe*’ .

"Sid Smith Is plnyiJV good game there," -said Manager Billy \w| day morning. "But I need j him to w»i Archer out behind the bat. So I hop^3 pick up n good man somewhere."

Tilson Finishes First In “Odd Hole 99 Tournamentl The “odd hole" tournament played over the Tledmont Golf Club's course Saturday afternoon resulted In a victory for Tilson, who played from scratch and who made the course In 47 strokes. Street, with a han dicap of 6. fltdshed second with a gross of 67 and a ner of 51; and Byrd was third with the second best gross score—60—and a net of 62. Sixteen players took part In the match aud the tournament proved n thoroughly entertaining one. The grounds were wet and a stilt wind waa blowing, which added to the difficulties of the olrenuy difficult course. The first hole, In particular, proved a Tartar. This l^ole was from tho first tee to the fourth green and was about 650 yards in length. Tho bogey was 6, but the nearest approach to It made by any of the contestants waa.a nine, which F. ^V. Stone scored. Tilson was next with ten strokes. The following explanation of the defeat of F. G. Byrd la contributed and the writer pleads guilty: “Byrd waited two hours for The Gt-orgiii I sporting editor, who was under promise to I play with him, and then started off with * 13 on this hole." The remainder of Mr. Byrd's ronnd was close to bogey and wltlj any luck on tho first hole be would have won the first prlxe.
