Pennant Race Grows Warmer
Along With the Weather
After one of the moat spectacular climbs
In the history of tbe Southern League, the
Birmingham bunch has hit the top of the
ladder* where It la tied with the New Or*
leans aggregation of birds for the lead.
On Jfay 25, the Barons were In fifth place.
Now they are tied lor flrat.
Both teams have a per cent of .900. New
Orleans hna won 48 games and lost 22, while
Birmingham baa won 45 and lost 90.
While the Barons and tbe Birds are
fighting hard for first place, Shreveport,
down In the third bole, la a contender.
With 45 gomes won and 21 lost, tbe GUk-
era have a per cent of .993, and a posi
tion which Is near enough the front to
count In the rush'for tho pennant.
Atlanta's position la most encouraging.
In fourth place, with 41 gomes won and
33 loot (.554) the team la safely ahead of
Memphis, and out of danger from the sec
ond division. And also the Cracker» ar »
near enough the front ao that they ,. a !
make It more than interesting for any of
the leaders. 1
With n long home series at band, an| r «t
the western clubs, which were ao i n *in!
rloualy trimmed tbe last time tbe twin
waa at home, prospects look bright for At
lanta. .
It la going to take some tall htutlin.
during July and September, bowers, tor
tbe Crackera only have aeven games
home In Anguat, and It- will be a mighty
hard matter to keep near the front witk
ao many road games to be played
However, Billy Smith la cheerful.
that la n good sign.
“Montgomery and Atlanta are up ngnln.t
It In August." he said Monday morals!
“But I think that we will get along ,]i
tight. The ?eam la working good, ami that
counts.’’ , -
Smith May Suspend Childs
But Will Not Sign Brown
William Smith & Co. landed In Atlanta
Sunday and tbe bunch of game winners !■
ready for tbe opening “go" Monday after
noon with Zimmer's Little Rock aggrega
tion.
Tbe arrival of the team has enabled local
Inquirers to solve many questions which
have popped up recently and remained‘un
answered until tbe present.
There waa "the Brown mystery," for ex
ample. Brown landed with much flourish
and played In one game. Then he dropped
out of the box scores and nobody seems to
know much about him. Manager Smith
explains that Brown was brought down for
a trial and that he Is still with the teem,
though he has never been signed. Brown
Is a trifle light for Southern League work,
aod It la likely that he will get his pink
slip. Wallace, the 8outb Atlantic man.
will take the only vacant place In the out
Duggan baa not been signed cither.
Childs will be pitched thla afternoon. If
he la In shape to go the whole same an!
If ha does well be will atny on tho t,-a m .
and If he does not he will be au«i>enM
and Duggan will be stgne'd for a trial.
Erera la under suspension and I. likely
to remain there for the present. Man.,*,
Smith says that Jack will not work i-noum
to keep In shape, and that he will not let
him go or use him rltber until he work.
Into condition for a hard trial.
Manager Smith Is atlll looking.for a good
third baseman. “Sid Smith Is playing «
good game there.” said Manager Billy Mon-
day morulng. "But I need him to Mp
Archer out behind tho bat. So I hope to
pick np n good man somewhere."
Manager Smith lias ao far mlisni Ted
Sullivan, the Cincinnati sleuth, who I. down
on a atlll hunt for ball players for tl>«
Beds. He has been located by Tom O'Brien,
however. Tom. who used to rnnnngc the
Montgomery team In day* pn«t, la lu re ou
tbe same errand that brought Toil Sullivan,
except that be Is representing Washington.
From here he goes to Montgomery.
W. J. Tilson Finishes First
In “Odd Hole” Tournament
The “odd hole’’ tournament played over
tho Piedmont Golf Clnb'a course Saturday
afternoon resulted In a victory for Tilson,
who played from scratch and who made tho
course In 47.stroke*. Street* with a han
dicap of 6, finished second with a groai
of 17 and a net of II; and Byrd was third
with the second beat groaa score-60-snd a
not of 92.
Sixteen players took part In the match
and the tournament ^proved n thoroughly
entertaining one. The grounds were wet
and a stiff wind waa blowing, which added
to the difficulties of the already difficult
course. The flrat hole. In particular, proved
_ Tartar. Thla hole waa from the first
tee to the fourth green and waa about «W
yard* In length. The bogey was 6, but
the nearest approach to It made by any
of the conteatanta waa a nine, which F. W.
Stone scored. Tllaon waa next with ten
strokes. The following explanation of the
defeat of F. G. Byrd la contributed and
