No wilder or more deserted mountain

IN BUSY JACK O’BRIEN
C. FRANK
THAN HIS
TRYING
SHARE
MORE
GAMES?
Certainly Looks So From the Fact That Series Scheduled For Little
Rock Has Been Transferred to New Orleans—Manager Smith
Will Take Action to Prevent Frank From Taking Ad vantage.
Ia Cbarl.y Frank hack at hla old tricks?
One. of Utile Rack's homo series tins been
transferred to New Orleene end President
Knranaugh hee notified Manager Zimmer,
of Little Rock, of thla change.
L'uleas one of tho serlee between IJttle
Ilock nnd the I'ellcene In the Creecent City
le transferred beck to Utile llock—end
Zimmer hee heard of no euch transfer—the
league le caught In the act of doing Jnet
what Atlanta haa protected against moat
bitterly for a couple of /cars—giving New
Orlaana more games at homo .then they
here on the a roed. 11/ glrlng them more
at home the league helps Charle/ Frank
In his race for the pennant nnd propor-
tlonall/ handicaps the other clubs In their
efforts elong the same line.
New Orleene le tchednled to pla/ nt Ut
ile Hock August 6, 7 nnd 8. Ilut Manager
Zimmer haa lieen notified to go to New
Orlaana for this series. Unless the three
games which th# Traveler* ere scheduled
to pie/ In New Orleene Jnl/ 29, 10 end 31
are transferred to the Arkanea* capital—
end no one on earth bee an/ Idea that the/
will lie transferred—then eomebod/ le glr
lng Charley Frank an advantage over otker
teems In the league.
Moet of the talk about Charley Frank
end hie position at "Dictator of the
latagne” hie been unadulterated bosh, but
If he cen dictate to th* league whore game*
arc to be played It look* pretty bed.
Manager Smith waa up In arms when In
formed of the Intended ewltch. ''We’ll
have to do something,” be said, "i'll write
to Harry Vaughan nnd flud out what be
knowe about It. Birmingham and Atlanta
Will hare to hang together on this deal."
When Manager Zimmer wee asked about
It he Bold: "I only know that wo hare
been ordered by the president of the league
to play those games In New Orleans, In
stead of In IJttle Rock, where they ere
scheduled. And we here not been Informed
of any switching of games beck to Little
Rock to make op for It, so. I take It that
we Just lose those home games.” i
Manager Zimmer, of Little Rock, seemed
glad to land In Atlanta Monday and ap
peared relieved that be bed escaped from
New Orlenne.
When he was aeked If he saw any evi
dences of "rubber" ball* In l’ellcentown he
said: ”1 gucat It le the old ceec down there
—'punk ball*' or 'Iced ball*' when the Tie-
Itore are at hat, ‘Hr* bells' when the homo
team comae In, But of conre* 1 can’t
prove It.
"It la none of ray Dullness," continued
the Chief, "hut If I wee President Kara-
nengh 1 would go down there myself end
when things looked auspicious I would go
right on tbo Held, get the ball and cat It
6pen."
Zimmer wee unusually enthusiastic over
bis new man, Kletb, of University of
Arkansas fame,
season," he eald,
'He la the And of the
'and he will go higher.
Wallace, the new recrnlt, took his Brat
turn In the Said yesterday end made
hit with the fens. It be continues to do
well he will bo retained. If he doee not
Billy Smith saye that he le going to try
to go hack In the gem*.
"I talked the matter over with Uerry
Vaugben," be said, "and we decided that
there waa nothing In the constitution or
br-lawa of th* league, and nothing In the
rule* of the National Association' or tho
rales of baseball which prevented tae from
going In and out when I pleated I think
that President Ktvtnaugh Wat wrong when
he warned Vaughan and me that If we
went out again we could not go beck,
case It la neccseary w* will teat that
ruling."
Manager Smith was much pleased at th*
•howlng of Child, In Monday's game.
“He did not try to pitch hla head off In
th* Drat two or three Innings the way he
has other times," said Manager Billy, "and
In consequence he lasted better.”
When asked about Duggan and
chancea of making th* team, Manager
Smith said: "I don't know what about Dug
gan. but one thing It certain, he will get
a fair trial with ne.”

Philadelphia. Joly 17.—8am Berger met
Jack O'Brien and whaled him to a stand
still In their six-round bout lait night.
' Berger went after him the moment the
bell clanged nnd eTery minute daring the
six ronndt he helte.1 the I'blladelphlsn. It
was the surprise of O'Brien's life. Jmtead
of the big soft Isd—a rammer at the
game—he found one with a wallop that
tore, end etung. O’Brien tried to jump
nnd Jab. lie waa welted In the body. Ho
tried to slug, but was fought back to the
rope* He tried to feint, but found in
opponent who wes-ae cool as he.
O'Brien was beaten at every turn.
Berger never for a moment lost bis con
fident air. As the referee motioned to the
men Berger walked up and met O'Brien,
whose hesd wee cocked on the side. The
bell clanged after tile talk end they went
at It. Berger. With hie lips tightly closed,
met the Quaker In the center of the ring
and the very Drat crack elammed him on
the Jaw with a left. He wee crouching
slightly and went after O'Brien, who Im
mediately started hie "Jumping Jack” tac
tics, sending hi, left over to Berger's
face. Berger had studied thla aa he had
watched O'Brien In former battle! and ne
O'Brien Jumped be shifted tie heed to the
side and tore- his left Into the Quaker’e
body with terrific force. He did It again
nnd again. Surprised at the eaee with
which he located the Quaker, Berger went
after him and whaled away with both
hand*
The crowd wee In an uprotr. O'Brien
had met a matt who hit him In eTery ex
change. He danced In and ont, from tide
to aide, and while dancing to the right
he met a left of Berger'a that sent him
to the ropes, and raised a lump like an
olive over hla right eye. Berger's seconds
were wildly yelling for him to keep at
O'Brien and Berger was there like "Johnny
behind the rock.” He forced the Quaker
all OTer the ring, taking Jaha to smash the
body with cither hand, and aettlng a pace
that waa killing.
O'lirVn opened the second by smashing
hla left to Berger's nose, drawing blood,
but tho latter never (topped. He ripped
left Into O'Brien'* stomach that lifted
the latter off the Door end ns O'Brien
ducked an Imaginary left Berger welted him
on tho eye with a right hook that tore a
gash an Inch wide In the Quaker's eyebrow.
Blood Dowed down O'Brlen'e face, over hla
•lioulder and down hla cheat Jn a stream.
Berger’s glove we* eoon bloody and every
time be smashed the Quaker he left e red
mark, so that In a few moments O'Brien
looked more like an Indian than a white
man.
In th* third Berger was Dghtlng mainly
for the Imdg. O'Brien clouted Be r -
ls.th sides of the Jaw with left and
end was etung twice In the body f or *£

He seemed to have lost hla punch.
In the fifth both stowed up a trifle, seem.

heat showing of the fight. There was i
fierce mix on the ropea at the hell.
They shook' bands as the gong called them

ed "kidding" O'Brien. Tfcp latter tried to

The Pelican team Is without a doubt
the strongest In the league rfght now.
You can’t get around It and If the boya
don't win the pennant It will b* be
cause of the disadvantages they will be
put to. If Manager Frank gets an
other pitcher the team will loom up al
most ax strong- above the others as last
year'* team did.—New Orleans Item.
Yea, maybe, but Charley Frank la up
against the same proposition that Me-
Graw is In the National league—every
other team Is pulling against him.
Except, maybe, Mempbir

It waa a long game, made more ao by
the alow manner In which the visitors
tossed around the bell lo th* early Innings
when It looked as though J. I'lnvltis would
help them out with * downponr of rain.
After the fifth they played much faeter
ball.
All eye* were on Wallace, the new fielder

PLAN ANOTHER
TOURNAMENT
EIGHTEEN-HOLE MEDAL PLAY
HANDICAP WILL BE PLAYED
ON 8ATURDAY.
Encouraged by th* tucceee of the “odd
hole" tournament Uet Batnrdey, In which
a Urge field contested. In spite of the
wet conns and the threatening weather,
the tournament committee has planned a
handicap medal pUy tournament for next
Saturday over the Piedmont Golf Club's
course. /
The affair will he a straight handicap,
mrdat play toarnament, at 13 botes. Two
golf bell* will be the entry fee. and thet«
belle will be divided Into two ov three
prises.
The eonrac U In excellent condition xt
present, and a good field Is expected for the
affair Saturday.- liberal handicap* will b*
offered, end th* duffers will hare SS good ire can.
good support had fhe game well In baud
at all stages. In the first Inning he retired
the title In one-two-three order nnd he re
peated the stent- several I line*. Juat to show
how easy It was. If he hadn't let up
In the last fewvlnntngs he could bare won
a no-hlt game.
One of the funuleat play* that hna oc
curred on the local diamond thle year wae
that In' the third Inning. Archer was on
flrat end Wallace on third, nobody wae out
end Child* wee nt the bet. A double steal
wae attempted, Archer starting for second
end Wallace for borne. Archer got to sec
ond all right, *• tho attentloo of the He
itor* was given entirely to Wallace, who
wae caught between third and home. Archer
kept on coming, however, and although
Wallace safely retreated to third, he landed
there at the tame time Archer did, and
the Utter wee tagged out. Every men In
the Infield got an aealet on th* play.
Brady was credited with a punk bit In
the fifth that warn entirely due to a mUona
by Childs . Hickey wae on flrat, and when
Brady hit an eeay grounder to pitcher.
Child* threw trf third, although nobody
wee erer dreaming of going to that corner
of the diamond. Juat what mad* Child* do
a chance, end, probably better, than the
■•cratch" end "plus" men.
A movement la 'on foot to Invite the
Birmingham end Nashville player* bare
for teem matches during th* summer.
There U no doubt but that teams In either,
city would he glad to make the trip, and
some 'pleasant affair* could be arranged.
Owfug to the Illness of W. P. Hill, one
of the- licet player* In the club, end the
very art,mg tram In the field, bnt no doubt
that they could produce one which would
Interest any of the visitor*.
The funny part' of the matter In
that It la not New Orleans that the
players tear, but Atlanta. The Peli
cans all have th* "26" sign up Is the
opinion of the tqcal players and the
united opinion Is that Atlanta will be
the boy* to make the run with Birm
ingham. While thin Is the opinion of
the player*, alt are glad that this Is a
true condition. The players of these
two clube are moat frlandly and It
would Indeed be a pleasure If Birming
ham could fiy the rag and Atlanta land
second—Birmingham News.
Birmingham baseball writers have a
boost for Atlanta players and a knock
for Atlanta writer*. HowtArer, If the
player* can stand It w* are sure that
the atnnt It bard to explain, although some
body on the coaching Una undoubtedly
blundered. No damage wee done by the
play, anyway, ao wbat's the uae?
Johnson* made the flrat clean hit for tha
visitors In tha seventh, and It wee a mighty
pretty one, too. The next three men were
easy oats, however, and so again, what't
the uae?
It euro did look like rain In th* eecond
end third Innings and the little eprlnkllng
