Pelicans Coming Thursday,
Then Look Out For Squalls
The Pelican* will ta here Thursday.
The reported uaers of ruhtar ball*, tbe
alleged splkers of players, the snpposed-to-
,be performers on eteel plntea, tlio so-called
I 1 dicta torn of the league, and tbe preauuin-
J»Je esceeders of tbe naJary limit will uinreb
oy the IMedfiiont diamond Thursday after
noon and then there will lie doings.
Yes, we'll all lie there. It would not lie
• surprising If attendance records were bro*
j ken. For the whole bunch will be on baud
ito see the fun.
. Presumably there will lie nothing but n
j fast game of ball. Atlanta fans ns it rule
Jfoahave themselves, the unfortunate "Cntn-
*p«u Incident'’ to the contrary notwlth-
[Standing, and tbe police will be on hnnd
. to see that nothing Is dono which anyone
! will hare cause to regret.
However, on the off chance that some
thing may lie stirring the “old guard," the
•*tenth legion," the Inte lamented "six hun
dred" and all the reit will be there to aee
what actually happens.
A good game of ball Is a certainty. What
else there may be nobody knows. But from
the wny the two teams hate each other It
can be depended on that lioth will extend
themselves to the utmost to win.
It Is Chubby (.'hurley against Skinny
Smith, and may the best team win.
Locally everybody Is too busy getting
ready for Charley Frank to think about
much of anything else. The militia has
been notified to lie prepared for the worst,
etxm deputies are being sworn In by the
sheriff, the police force will tarn out In n
body for the game. Everything possible
will lie done to keep the peace.
In the midst of all this preparation little
Elmer IMiggun has slipped away and sailed
for Dayton. Hilly Smith tried to save him
from such a fate, but It was no use.
It Is too bad that Elmer had to go. He
wos n sociable cuss, used to come Into the
press (mix and alt there na quiet ns a mouse.
Always bad a good word for every body and
was cheerful, whatever happened. Also he
was n good hitcher and was evidently Just
the left-hander that Atlanta needed. How
ever, It couldn't be. Ho let It go nt that.
TWO TEAMS ARE SELECTED
FOR SATURDAY’S MATCH
The two teams named below have been
•elected to oppose etch other In tbo match
at the Piedmont Golf Club course Satur
day afternoon. The teams and tbe ar
rangements of players are only provisional,
ifor some changes will no doubt be neces-
;eary, but the following list about covers
the two teams, and the manner lu which
they will play:
BYRD'S TEAM*—

The conditions of the tourunment are:
tTfn ball entry fee, all the ball# to go
fto the winning team, sad to he divided
among tbe winning members of this tenm.
|(In consequence, the losing members of
!the winning team will get no part In the
.•polls). The tournament Is stated to start
i*t or after S p. in., and the players are
expected to notify the persons'against
■ whom they are slated to play, and arrange
<m a time for starting. Each match will
( roont a single point In the team score, lu
tbe remotely possible rasa of n tie, the
•tabes will be doubled, and the match
will be played over on the following Satur
day.
* According to the opinions of the dope ar
tists, the two teams are very evenly match
ed, and a good contest seems certain. Just
Bt preseut, Tllsou s tenm Is one man short,
but other players will 1h» located later on.
Any tuemltcra of the club who would like
to get In the match can do so by notifying
either F. U. Byrd or W. J. Tilsou.
After long delay and many disappoint
ments, It Is at Inst positively announced
l*y the greens committee of the Atlanta
Athletic Club that five or six provisional
putting greem will be provided on the East
take course, and these Are or six holes will
be thrown open for play Friday aftornoon.
It Is with hesitation and considerable rs-
gtet that the committee takes this action.'
They realise that the course la not yet Id
condition for play, and that most of those
who go out will be disappointed with'what
Is offered.
They wish It understood quite positively
that the coqrse Is not yet lu any condition
for play, and thnt the only reason that
tho action was taken was because many
players were using the course. In spite of
its unprepared condition, am! were playing
where It was doing harm, in order to lim
it their activity to the parts of the course
where the playing will do no harm, tho
boles are being placed.
The committee aska that the plnyws who
use the new eourse exercise every csre.
Turf cut or displaced by a stroke should
nt once be replaced. In order that the course
may not Im» disfigured. No'club but a put
ter should be used tin any green, and any
ball which goes on n putting green not be
ing played for should be picked up and
placed at some point not nearer the hole
toward which the player la going. By
the expenditure of a little ordinary care,
the use of tho new coarse will do It more
good than harm, but If n lot of duffers
are turned loose on It and they proceed to
back It to pieces. It will not be long be
fore the course will look ss though a troop
of cavalry had plowed through the fair
green.
The opening of the new course at East
take Is going to add n number of new
golfers to the local array. Already the
dealers In ehths report n brisk trade among
the men win* belong to the Athletic Club,
but not the golf club, and probably fifty
players will l>o developed by tbe clinuge lu
courses.

PICTORIAL INTERVIEWS WITH ATLANTA BALL PLAYER8 BY CARTOONIST BREWERTON.. NO. 3—
JAMES FOX.
Trying To Be Cheerful, Despite the Defeat
Oh, very well. That wasn’t the only game
we play this year.
What Is one among bo many?
Borne of Jnly la left, all of August and
half of September. If things will break
right Atlanta will win the pennant yet.
Shreveport has had her hard luck, too.
Take little Byrne. IDs ankle Is badly
sprained and Wednesday morning It was
put In a plaster cast. It will be three
weeks or a month before he will be able
to play.
And In the meantime Shreveport loses the
use of one of the faatost, gamost Utile In-
fielders In tho Jsggue.
Toor Bobby Gllka—his luck Is ns bad ns
Lnjole's. Always has Just enough players
Inld out at the wrong time to cost him the
pennant.

WORTHEN BEAT
TRAP EXPERT
DEFEATED J. 8. SALES, THE CRACK
SHOT OF NORTH CAROLINA,
IN A GOOD MATCH.
Rather the moat Interesting trap shooting
iiiatrh which hns been decided lu Atlanta
In a long time was that on Sunday between
Barney Worthen, of Atlanta, and J. 8.
Sides, of Monroe, N, C. The local man wou
by n score of 93 to 87.
J. 8. Scales Is one of the tast trap shoot
ers In North Carolina, and has numberless
matches to bis credit, but he did not prove
to be In the same class with the local man,
who started out with a lend and held It to
the very end.
Owing to adverse weather conditions, the
scores are not as high as either man Is ac
customed to make, but they were first-
class for nil thnt.
Mr. Worthen Is n trap shooter of unusual
experience am! lie hns never met hit defeat
In a twoman match since be hns been
•booting.
The match Friday was shot over the At
lanta Athletic Club's traps aud was wit
nessed by a large crowd.
ATLANTA GEORQIAN8
WIN SPEEDY GAME
The Atlanta Georgians 'defen ted the Jack-
son 8treot Stars Tuesday morning by the
score of 6 to 3. The Georgians did the
l»est hitting and their fielding was fast and
unusually free from errors for an amateur
game.
Itosche did the twirling for The Georgians
and was right there with the curves and
speed. Paschal caught most of the game
anil did well. ,

pretty soon where we nro at
While Byrne of (he Shreveport team Is on
tho hospital list Shermoft Kennedy will go
to shortstop nnd Powell, tho catcher, will
play lu Kennedy's place In tbe field.
Wallace made a beautiful catch In the
sixth of the long fly from Hickman's bnt.
(Yes. gentle rentier, you read nrlght—from
Hickman's bat. The human mosquito does
not look as though he could get tbe ball
down as far an the pitchers' tax, but he
soaked out a corker Tuesday.)
If Wallace would only stand up to tlfe
bnt nnd slug the ball hfc would have a
double dneb on thnt place.
nuokloy may be abusive anti profane In
the field, but the obliging nnd gentlomunly
manner In which ho announces to the fans
and to the occupants of the press box any
changes In the line-ups ot tbe teams Is duly
appreciated.
The Shreveport players are still sore nt
Buckley because they charge bo used abu
sive language to Fisher. •
"If It had been anybody else but Fisher
It would not have been so bad," said Harry
Khrllch, the secretary, "but no more gen-
'tlemunly player hns ever been In the South
ern League than Fisher, nnd he resented
what Buckley said more thnn any of tho
rest of the tenm would. He was so sore
about It that the tears ran down his face
iter the thing was over. And 1 think
President Kavunaugh*wlll take some action
on it when he gets Fisher’s letter."
Umpire Buckley called Sid Smith out In
the first Inning because, after he had hit
a high foul, be threw his bnt over Rapp's
bead ns thnt worthy was trying to catch
the ball. Rapp missed the hall, but Buckley
called Smith out, which was strictly ac
cording to rules.
They Scored More Runs
Than We Did, That’s All”
SHREVEPORT 5, ATLANTA 2.
The hunch thnt Atlanta was going to win
six straights, which many Atlanta fans hail,
went all to the bad Tuesday afternoon nt
Piedmont park, when the Pirates from
Gllksvlllc won by a score of 6 to 2.
Little Baxteg Sparks did his "durndest"
—and It has been said that angels could do
no more—but It was not quite good enough.
Ho pitched his head all but off and worked
to the bitter end, but ho had a real bad
Inning In tbe third and lost the game rlglrt
there.
An error by Dick Croxler added to the
completeness of the slaughter In the 1
inning. Kennedy, the first man up, lilt tbe
ball and Byrne followed with a strlke-otit.
Then Ahsteln got In the wny of a ball nnd
Daley was passed, so the bases were filled.
Then came King’s grounder down toward
Sid Smith. Hid made a grab for It, but It
wns too hot to handle, and It passed on to
Crosier. Dick picked It up, but threw’
wild and all three men scored on the bit
and the error.
Shreveport made one run previous to this
flurry undone afterwards, nnd altogether
ran away from the Crackers, who scored
only twice, once In the second nnd once In
the sixth.
It was Just another case of being up
against It. The Atlanta men put up pretty
average good ball, the kind which wins ns
a rule. But they were playing n team
which Is likely to cause trouble for nny
aggregation which ever played ball.
Hickman, the human-shadow, wns right
In form. IIow he picked up the ball, which
certainly weighed more thnn he did, nnd
threw It oyer tbe plate wns a mvitery
but he certainly did It, with plenty 0 f
■team and deceptive curves.
