PENNANT RACE THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN. TUESDAY, JULY, 17, 1906. EDITED BY PERCY H. WHITING — ~n GROWS WARMER HOME SERIES IS OPENED WITH CLEAN-CUT VICTORY On Monday iftwnoon. Just at a atartar for th* home aeries of fifteen games which the Atlanta fana will hare the pleasure of aerlng during the next two and a half wccka, the Firecracker# trounced the aggro gation of ball toaaera from Little Itock to the tnne of 8 to 1. And the mighty Brady waa In the box for the rlaltora at that. It waa Atlanta’# game from the flrat Inning, and It waa almply a question as to bow large the acore would be at the finish. The game waa marked by dean, fnat playing. Only one error waa chalked ngnlnst each team. Until the last part of the contest, It looked like a bltless shut out, but “Doc" Childs finally let down it little, with the result that the rlaltora bunched the blta and scored a lonesome run In the eighth. A base on balls to Meany and two singles by DeArmond and Douglass did the trick. Atlanta bunched her runs In the first and third Innings. In the first, Otto Jor dan started the fun by singling. Theu, with two out, flld Smith singled, scoring Jordan, and Whltey Morse did the same, scoring Smith. Of course. Fox war there with his double, and Morse scored. In the third Inning, and while It drls- lied In a threatening manner, the splrlte of the Little Hock delegation were still further dampened by a bunch of hits, and four runs for the home team. Winters hit to second and lw»at It out. Rid Hmltb and Morse each singled, nmi then, with the bases full. Fox hit a cute one * past second, scoring Winters nnd Smith. Wal lace got a punk bit in the infield, and then. a hot one by Archer past second scored Morse and Fox. Not content with the nnmber of runs already set against the home team on the score board, one more was added* In the serenth. A pretty two-lmgger by Winters and n single by *8mlth gave Winters the needed opportunity to score on the throw In, when Morse filed out to left field, This is the score sheet which made the Atlanta tans so happy last nlgbt: ATLANTA— Crosier, If.. ..

One of Little Kock’a home aeries has been transferred to New Orleans and President Kavanaugb has notified Manager Zimmer, of Little Rock, of this change. Unless one of the aeries between Little Rock and the Pelicans In the Crescent City la transferred back to Uttlo Roek- Zlmmer haa beard of no auett transfer- league la raugbt In tbs act of doing what Atlanta has protested axnlnat most bitterly for a couple of yeara-glvlng New Orleans more game, at horns than they have on lha road.. By giving them more at home the league help, Charley Frank In his rare for the pennant and propor tionally handicaps the other clubs In their effort! along the tamo line. New Orleans la scheduled to play at Lit tle Rock August a. 7 and A But Manager Zimmer haa been notified to go to New Orleans for this series. 1 Unless the three game, which tho Traveler, are aehednled to play In New Orleans July 23, 10 and J1 are transferred to Iho Arkanaaa capital— nnd no one on earth haa any Idea that they will be tranaferred-tbeo somebody Is giv ing Charity Frank an advantage over other teame In the league. Moat of the talk about Charley Frank and. hit position aa "Dictator of the I .segue" tins been unadulterated both, but If he can dictate to the league where garnet are to be pteyrd It look* pretty bad. Managar Smith waa up In arms when In- formed of the Intended 1 switch. "We'll have to do something," he said. "I'll writs to Harry Vaughan and And out what ba knows about It. Birmingham and Atlanta will have to hang together on this (leal.” When Manager Zimmer wee asked about It he laid: "I only know that we have been ordered by the president of the league to play thoae game. In New Orleans, In deed of In Little Bock, where they are aehednled.. And wa have not been Informed of any switching of game, hack to Little Rock to make up for It, eo I take It that we Juet lose thoee home games'’ Manager Zimmer, of Little Rock, seemed glad to land In Atlanta Monday and ap peared relieved that he had escaped from New Orleane. When he waa naked If ha saw any evi dences of "rubber" balls In Pellcantown be aafd: "I guess It la the old eaee down there —‘punk belle' or 'Iced balle' when the vis itor! are at bat, ‘lire balls' when the borne team cornea In. But of course I can't prove It "It le none of my nuslnets," continued the Chief, "but If I we. President Kava naugh I would go down there myaelt and when thlnga looked auspicious I would go right on the Held, get the ball and cut It open." Zimmer waa unusually enthusiastic over hla new man, Klstb. of University of Arkanaaa fame. "Be fa the find of the season," he tald, "and be will go higher. 1 Wallace, the new recruit took hla flrat turn In the Held yesterday and made hit with the fana. If he continues to do well be will be retained. If he does not Billy Smith aaya that be la going to try to go back In 'the game, * "I talked the matter over with Harry Vaughan,” be sntd, "and we decided that there wee nothing In the constitution or by-lawe of the leagne. and nothing In the rules of the National Association or the rules of baeebnl! which prevented me from going In and out when I pleased I think that President Kavanaugb waa wrong when he warned Vanghan and me that It we went out again we fould not go back, caae It la necessary we will teat tbet rails*.". Manager Kmlth was much pleated at the •howlng of Cblldt In.Monday's game. "He did not try to pitch hla head off In the flrat two or three Inning, tha way he baa other times." said Manager BlUy, “end In consequence he lasted better.” When aeked about Duggan and rhanrea of making the team. Manager Smith aald: "I don't know what abont Dug gan, but one thing le certain, he will get a fair trial with us." SOME CHORTLES FROM A CHEERFUL GAME Not so bad for a starter, eb! It wee a long game, made more to by the Jow manner In wblrb the rleltors toeeed around tha halt In the early Inning, whan It looked as though J. Pluvlus would help tbem out with a downpour of rain. After tha dfth they played much faater ball. All ryes were on Wallace,.the new flelder Billy Bmltb landed while the team waa away; and when he walked to the plate In the flrat he got the glad hand from the crowd In a truly warm welcome. And when he got a pretty tingle and slid 20 feet to make second on the tbrnw-ln maybe he didn't deserve the applanee he' got. After a lltlle nervousneaa la worn off and he becomes better . acquainted with hla teammates he will undoubtedly he at good aa tha heat of tbem In hie position. - Jim Fox-appeared at the plate with a new hat end the crowd wee "on" In a minute. The bat la evidently filled wltb a new supply of hits, for the tall boy got a single and double Juet when they were wanted. Dee” pitched greet bell, and with the good support bed the game well In bend at all stages.' la the fltat Inning be retired tbe aide In one-two-three order end he re pealed the stunt several times, Juat to show how easy It was. If he hadn't 1st np In the last few Innings ba could hart won a no-hlt game. One of the funniest plays that hae oc curred on the local diamond this year waa that In the third Inning. Archer wet on Bret end Wallace on third, nobody was out and Child, waa at the bat. A double steal was attempted, Archer starting for second and Wallace for home. Archer got to sec ond ell right, ne the attention of the vis itors was given entirely to Wallace, who waa caught between third and home. Archer k«t,<m coming, however, and although Wallace safely retreated to third, he landed there at the same time Archer did, and the latter waa tagged out. Every man In the lafleld got an aaalat os tbe play. Brady waa credited with a punk hit In the dfth that waa entirely due to n mlarne by Child, . Illckey waa on flrat, and when Brady hit an easy grounder to pitcher, Childs threw to third, although nobody waa ever dreaming of going to that corner of the diamond. Juat what made Childs do the atnnt It bard to explain, although some body on the roarhlng Una undoubtedly blundered. No damage waa done by the pity, anyway, so what's the use? visitors In the seventh, and It waa a mighty pretty one, too. The next three men were easy outs, however, and so again, what'a tbe use? It sure did look like rain In the second and third Inning, and the little sprinkling that did coma only added to the fears of tho fane. No doubt the vleltore were offer ing Btleut prayers for rain before the flfth Inning, but It wet not to be nnd not a moment waa lost on account of tbe drltale. Wallace accepted hla four chances In a very profeaalonal manner, and with bla two hits made a good Impression upon the local crowd, who expect great thlnga to develop from the new youngster. Wallace It built like Stinson and bids fair to-, become tho Idol of the ladle*. Ilia' frapa Rndderham had' abont tbe cosiest time of any official who haa' held that difficult position on the local diamond thla season, for not once were hie decisions questioned. And conetdertng the aereral feet plays that were made end the does decisions rendered It wst Indeed good work for hie maps. Tbe crowd wet no\ what waa expected for the opening day of the new home terlee, but the stay this time le eo long that tha fana will have ell .kinds of opportunities to esq the local boys struggle for tbe pen nant. Tneaday la ladles' day, and It la an assured fact that with‘any kind of de cent weather the attendance will be up to tbe top notch: . *. Far be It from ue to discourage any legitimate rooting, bnt the nae of cow bells for that purpose It very much to the Way- cross. A fan who haa nor consideration for thoae around him Is an undesirable addition to any ball park. _ . .
