Pelicans Coming Thursday, Then Look Out For Squalls The Pelicans will lie here Thursday. The reported users of rulilier balls, the alleged splkers of players, the supposed to .be performers on steel plates, the so-called .dictators of the league, and the presume- |ble exceeds™ of the salary limit will march the Piedmont diamond Thursday after- j Boon and theu there will lie doings. Yes, we’ll all lie there. It would not lie • surprising If attendance records were bro- iken. For the whole bunch will be ou hand • to see the fun. Presumably there will lie nothing but a I fast game of ball. Atlanta fans as a rule • behave the mm-Wet, the unfortunate "Cam- ‘ pnu Incident" to the contrary notwith standing. and the police will be ou hand ■ to tee 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 late lamented "six hun dred" and all the rest will be there to see what actually happens. A good game of ball Is a certainty. What else there may lie noliody knows. Put from the way the two teams hate each other It can be deluded on that lioth will extend themselves to the Utmost to win. It Is Chubby Charley against Skinny Smith, and may the liest team win. Locally everybody la too busy getting ready for Charley Frank to think about much of anything else. The militia has lieen notified to bo prepared for the worst, ctxrn deputies ore being sworn In by the sheriff, the police force, will turn out In n body for tho game. Everything possible will be done to keep the jiesce. In the midst of all this preparation little Elmer Duggan has slipped awny and sailed for Dayton. Hilly Smith tried to save hint from such n fate, but It waa no uae. It la too laid that Elmer had to go. He was a sociable cuss, used to come Into the press box and sit there ns quiet ns a mouse. was cheerful, whatever happened. ever. It couldn't be.. So let It go at that. TWO TEAMS ARE SELECTED FOR SATURDAY’S MATCH The two teams named below have been fclccted to oppoee eech other In the match • t the Piedmont Golf Club course ttatu* day afternoon. The teams and the ar rangements of players are only provisional, for some changes will no doubt bt neces sary, but the following list sbout covers tbo two tesms, and the manner In which they will play: TH.fiON'B TEAM- BYRD’S TEAM- ,Tllson ..vs... .. ‘.

The tournament la alated to atart 'nt or after 3 p. in., nud the playcra are .expected to notify the persons against ' whom they nre slated to play, nnd nrrange .on a time for starting. Each match will , count s single point In the team score, lu the remotely possible case of a tie, the •takes will U» doubled, and the match ! will lie played over on the following Satur* day. « ng to the opinions of the dope nr* ‘ i two teams are very erenly match- ad, and a good contest seems certain. Just at present, Tlloou's tenm Is one man short, but other players will be located Inter on. Any tnemlters of the club who would like to get In the match can do so by notifying either F. G. Byrd or W. J. Tllson. putting greens will be provided on the East Lake course, and these flvs or six holes will be thrown open for play Friday afternoon. It la with hesitation and considerable re grot that the committee takes this notion. They reallxo that the conrae Is not yet In condition for play, and that most of those who go out will be disappointed with what |s offered. They w|sh It understood quite positively that the couree Is not yet In any condition for play, nnd that the only reaeon that tho action wee taken waa becauee many player* were using the course, In spite of Its unprepared condition, and 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 nd harm, the holes art* being placed. The committee asks that the players who Use the new course exercise every care. Turf cut or displaced by a stroke should at once be replaced. In order that the course may not tie disfigured. No club but a put ter should l>e used on any green, and any (•all which goes on s putting green not be ing played for should be picked up and placed at some |M>lut not nearer the hole toward which the player Is going. Hy the expenditure of a little ordinary care, the use of the new course will do It more good than harm, but If a lot of duffers nre turned loose on It and they proceed to hock It to plecea. It will not be long bo- fore the course will look as though s troop of cavalry had plowed through the fair green. IfjjTEEPLE. Jl M F ox his CA&Lt on -rue MAN AT TMC BAT. - PICTORIAL INTERVIEWS WITH ATLANTA BALL PLAYERS BY CARTOONIST BREWERTON.. NO. JAMES FOX. Trying To Be Cheerful, Despite the,Defeat Oh, very well. That wasn’t the only game we play thla year. What la one among ao many? Some of July fa left, all of August and half of September. If things will break right Atlanta will win the pennant yet. Don't he a gloomster. Cheer up. Mnybe Atlanta will win the next ten straight. Shreveport has had bar hard luck, too. Thke little Byrne. Ills ankle Is badly ■pralnsd and Wednesday morning It was put In a plaster cast It will be throe weeks or a month before he will be able to play. And In the meantime 8hreveport loses the use of opt of the fastest, gamest little In- fielders In tho league. Poor Bobby Gllka—hla luck Is na bad ns Lnjole'e. Always has Just enough playera laid out at the wrong time to coat him the pennant. President Karannugh hns announced that he will call a meeting of the Southern League In the near future In New Orleans to Investigate .the "rubber ball" charges against Charley Frank. Good for the* Judge. Now we will know pretty aoop where we are at While Byrne of the Shreveport tenm la on the hospital lint Hhermnn Kennedy will go to short stop nnd Powell, the catcher, will play In Kennedy's place In the field. Wallace made a beautiful catch In th# sixth of the long fly from Hickman's bat. (Yea, gentle render, you rend orlght-^from Hickman's bnt. The human mosquito does not look as though he could get the ball down ns far ns tho pitchers' box, but bu soaked out n corker Tuesday.) If Wallace would only stand up to the Imt and -slug tho ball he would have a double cinch on that place. Buekley may Im abusive and profane In the field, but the obliging nnd gentlemanly manner In whleb he announces to the fans and to the occupants of the press !>ox any changes In ths line-ups of the teams Is duly appreciated. The Shreveport players are still sore nt Buckley because they charge bo used abu slve language to Fliher. "If It had been anybody else but Fisher It would not have been so bad," said Harry Ehrlich, the secretary, "but no itoore gen tlemanly player haa ever been In the South ern League than Flaher, and be resented what Buckley said more thnn any of ths reat of the team wonld. He waa ao so re about It that the tsars ran down hie face tter the thing was over. And I think President Kavonaugh will tnko some action on It when be gets Fisher's letter." Umpire Buckley cflle* Sid Smith out In the first Inning because, after he had hit a high foul, be threw hie Imt over Bapp’a bead as that worthy was trying to catch the hall. Rnpp missed the hall, but Buckley called Smith out, which waa strictly ac cording to rules.

GOOD REFEREE IS PROMISED Manager rhnrlson, the press agent of Demetrlal, the Greek who did some pretty keen strangling In hla match with Olsen July 18, dropped In the office Wednesday to remark again that t..e match next Mon day night Is the goods, strictly on the square ami that the referee will l»e brought from Chicago nnd will lie the prorks. Manager Charlson say* tlint If tho ref eree of tin* other match had been "onto hla Job" the affair would*not have ended In the rums which marked Its closing moments, lie says the first throw should have been awarded to the Swede and that the match should have been allowed to continue. He promises, however, that he will have iiv imwri rr. uini »i«- **»u unvt- a referee Moudity who knows his business both ways from the .Police Gnxette, and that then* will lie no more Assies. 00000000000000000000000000 "UMPIRE,” NOT "IMPURE.” Through a regrettable typo graphical error In Monday’s At lanta Georgian the umpire was called the "Impure.” Thin is a mistake. At one time or another In our vituperative career we have called umpires thieves, murderers, .second-story men. dips, cut-throats, crooks, thi'gs, cannibals, confidence men, loUner*, Jail >lrd», grave rob bers, short-arm men, pickles and mute, but n • **r before have we referred to any of them aa "Im pure." This apology goes’ for the O. whole tribe. 00000000000000000000000000 FARMER BURNS TO TRY OLSEN ASHEVILLE MAN MATCHED TO MEET FAMOUS MIDDLEWEIGHT FOR A BIG BET. Special to The Georgian. Asheville, N. C., July 25.—Articles of agreement have lw*en signed between Chas. Olsen, of this city, nnd "Farmer" Martin Burns, the world-renowned middleweight wrestler, for a ratch-ns-catch-can bout to take place In Asheville August 6. The con test Is-for a side bet of $1,000, with the privilege of adding $1,600, aud will doubt less 1* the bitterest fight ever waged on a mat lu North Carolina. Burns and Olsen wrestled In Asheville In May for the middleweight championship, nnd the Asheville man threw the Iowa farmer the two last falls In three, getting the wind of the old man and handling him with but little trouble. The "Farmer" then challenged Olsen for s match for $1,000 for a future date, and left SHREVEPORT 5, ATLANTA 2. The hunch that Atlanta was going to win ■lx straights, which many Atlanta fans hail, went all to the bad Tuesday afternoon at Fledmout park,' when the Pirates from Gtlksvllle won a score of 5 to 2. Littlo Baxter Sparks did Ills "durndest" —and It hns been said thnt<nngels could do no more—but It was not quite good enough. He pitched his head all but off and worked to the bitter end, but he had a real bad Inning In tho third and lost the game right there. An error by Dick Crosier .added to the completeness of the slaughter In the i Inning. Kennedy, the first man up, hit the ball and Byrne followed with a strike out. Then Absteln got In the wsy of a ball nnd Daley wan passed, so the bases were filled. Then came King's grounder down toward Sbl Smith. Sid made a grab for It, but It was too hot to handle, and It passed on to Crosier. Dick picked It up, but threw wild and all tllres men scored on the hit and the error. Shreveport made one. run previous to thin flurry nnd one afterwards, and altogether ran awny 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 as rule. But they were playing a team which Is likely to cause trouble for any aggregation which ever played ball. Hickman, the human shadow, was right In form.
