Kavanaugh Will Entertain
Protest on Game of July 21
The same between Atlanta and Mem-
phi* July 21 hat not been protested, os
has been stated by several papers
around the Southern League circuit,
but It will be. Not being sure of his
ground, President Joyner wrote to
President Kavanaugh and asked If a
protest based on the happenings of that
day would be considered. President
Kavanaugh's reply was that there was
ground for a protest, and It will forth
with be made.
This game, It will be remembered,
was the one which was called early to
let the Memphis players catch a train
back to the Bluff City, where they were
scheduled to play the following day.
As soon as Memphis got In the
lead In that game Hurlburt, Babb and
some of the other members of the team
belled their nickname of Hustlers by
delaying the game In every posslblo
way. Umpire Campau did not do his
duty In keeping, the game going, and
when it was tlnaily called the Indignant
fans surged on the Held and threat
ened trouble. Some of the less respon
sible members of the crowd followed
Campau clear to the train, but no harm
was done to him.
The protest which will bo made will
bo based on the grounds that the um
pire did not do his duty as set forth In
rule 26, which says:
“A forfeited game shall be declared
by the umpire In favor of the club not
In fault at the request of such club In
the following cases: Sec. 4. If a team
employ tactics palpably designed to de
lay th'e game."
President Joyner will allege that Um
pire Campau did not do his duty and
that the game should have been for'
felted.
President Joyner will also show that
the passenger agent of the road which
the Memphis team was going to use
came to the grounds and told Babb
that the train was late and that there
\vas plenty of time to play the game
through, After hearing this, however,
Babb Insisted that Smith stick to the
original agreement.
"I am not at nil suro that the protest
Will be sustained. 1 don't know. But,
anyway,” I wanted to show the people
of Atlanta that I was not In sympathy
with such doings." Such was the state
ment of Chief Joyner.
It may be that Charley Frank Is not
the smartest manager In the Southern
League, but he certainly knows more
things than he tells about.
Look at the attendance figures of the
last Atlanta series. Four thousand four
hundred paid admissions at the drat
game, and that on p Thursday; 2,600
the next day and well on toward 6,000
Saturday when rain fell nnd caused
the Issuing of the largest bunch of rain
'leeks of the season.
And all this crowd turned out, not
bocausc the Pelicans were playing bail,
but because for two months steadily
the Atlanta papers have been roasting
Charley Frank 'and calling him every
thing from a murderer, liar and robber
on up.
“Managing a baseball team,” said
Charley Frank in speaking of the hap
penings, "does not consist In spending
a lot of m6ney In high-priced players.
To keep from dying of dry rot a man
must keep his name before the pub
lic.
'And I guess that's where I keep
mine," added that Dutchman with a
chuckle.
Glidden Tourists Take Part
In Strenuous Hill - Climb
By Private Lon*e<l Wire*.
Bratton Wood*. July 30.—Intercut hero to-
day center* In the open hill climbing con*
tent In Crawford Notch, for which thirty-
three mnchlnes hate been entered.
The thirteen onra that flnlahed here In
the competition for the Glidden touring
trophy with perfect acorea will receive
equal credit and t.'hnrlea Glidden will pre
sent the entrant* with the allver medal*.
Under the deed of gift requiring that the
trophy nhall remain In the po**e»i»lon of.
the holding club until won by the repre
sentative of tome other club, the Buffalo
Automobile Club will retain the custody of
the cup.
Percy Pierce. who won the trophy Injt
year for the Buffalo club, Is on the cleau
slate In this contest.
The announcement of the disposition of
the prises was mode after a meeting of
the tour committee bad l*een held. Several
protests and requests for rebates on lost
points w#ro thrown out.
Many of the tourists left this place today
for their homes.
The opinion la widely expressed that the
contest for the Glidden trophy will never
be an absolutely satisfactory one until the
basis of award Is changed. Either It should
be made a manufacturers' content or an
erent of amateurs In the sense that they
own the cars they drive, make their own
entries and do not carry chauffeurs or me
chanics supplied by the factories.
P. 8. Flynn, of ftttsburg, who drove a
Pierce car and carried his wife and slater
with him, was the only amateur making a
perfect score for the Glidden trophy.
ROY8TON WINS TWO.
Special to The Georgian.
Boynton, da., July 30.—Royston defeat
ed I.nvonla In two successive games of
ball here Thursday and Friday. The first
was won by n score of 12 to 2. The fea
tures were the heavy hitting of Bagwell,
I.andrutn nnd Htoacb, for Boyston, and
the excellent pitching' of Frank Ander
son.
The second game was harder fought,
nnd devoid of nuy special features. Score,
8 to 6.

FINN AND HIS FAITHFUL FOLLOWERS
READY FOR FOUR GAMES AT PIEDMONT
it Is always a pleasure to Chronicle the
arrival of Mike Flna anil bis trusty fol
lower* They pullcil oat of blggeBt
thing In middle TenaeMeo Sunday night,
ami are even now holding forth at the Ara-
K "rhe Naahvllle team Is nlwnyB Bure of a
welcome In any town where game» nro
needed. Back lu their own burg, they go
to the park six day. a week and phf®
game each day, Ju.t to keep the frnnchlve
from expiring. On the road, they play be-
cause they need the money.
With the right kind of luck, Atlanta
should win, at leaat, four out of four with
the Flnnle*. A double-header la on the
hill, fer Tuesday, and single games will
lie on top Monday and Wodnoedoy. Then
the Craekera hit the road for a trip
through the Alaharan end of the Eastern
circuit, tackling Montgomery drat, and then
Birmingham.
Tbo gome Saturday did not develop Into
much. With thlngo looking bright for At
lanta, a mo,t terrific rainstorm landed on
Piedmont park, nnd hnaeboll Immediately
became out of the question. After thirty
minutes, the game wo« declared off and the
Mg crowd atreomed out Into tho mud and
rain, and a wild scramble began for the
onri. Tho supply waa far from adequate,
nnd wet wearing apparel wae all tho go
among the faithful.
Tom Hughes waa to get 6100 from aome
of hla admirers, so rumor baa It, provided
lie pitched on Saturday nnd won. Bard
luck that rain knocked Tom out of that
hunch of exceaa salary
Mike Finn la much tickled over the fact
that ho landed Elmer Duggan right out
from under Hilly Smith'* noee. It seems
that Mike Finn waa so anxious for the man
that he went right to Daytnu to And out
If the Dayton club had n good claim to
him, nnd In th*t wny he wns able to close
the deal right on the spot.
1 did not know but wlmt Billy had him
landed nil right," aabl Mike, "until El
mer wrote hla brother John that be had
been awn riled to Dayton. When I heard
thla. just on general principles, I wired
to Dayton for terms. The terms they ask
ed were a little high for a new man, hut
1 went up there to look the thing up,
Atlanta hits no claim to the man, for he
belonged to Dayton nil right, and now he
belongs to me."
First Baseman Beck, who hns been with
the Nashville club, for nomo time back,
has been turned over to tho Now Orleans
club, to whom he belongs. Beck lost hla
linttlng eye while with the Nnshvillc team,
nnd had to be turned loose. Frank hns
Iteeu notified that the player Is adrift, but
he has not announced what be will do
about It.
It seems natural to see our old friends,
"Duaty" Miller, back In the Southern
League. After a strenuous time In the Cot
ton States as n manager, "Dusty" baa
come back to the Southern, nnd will finish
out the season with Nashville.
Where, O where Is Chick Cargo?
Chick brought hla wife from New Or
leans to Atlanta, closed a deal with the
York team. In the outlaw league, and an
nounced that he was going to leare Inst
Sntunlny night
Mike Finn sayi that Cargo hat gone to
York.
Billy Smith aaya he has gone bock to
New Orleans.
Manager Frank has been wired, but not
heard from as yet.
In the meantime. It la repeated with no
diminution of emphasis that the reason Car
go wished to leare the league wae. hla fear
of riding on trains at night. Cargo mny
he nabnmed of his weskness along this
line, nnd may have denied It, but It Is n
well-known fact among hla team mates,
and la vouched for by Charley Frank.
A double-header will be on the bill* for
Tuesday afternoon. The first game will be
called at 2:30.
The usual double-header crowd may be
expected.
•‘Dummy" Curtin la In Atlanta for Mon
day's game. Acordlng to thoae who hare
talked with him, thla Is Just a pleasure trip
for the "dummy.”
TWO WRESTLING MATCHES
AT PIEDMONT COLISEUM
"Thoy’re off*' In the wrestling matches
Monday night at the Piedmont Park
Coliseum. (Note—This Is the building at
the end of the Peachtree-Piedmont Park
enr Hue and not the Peachtree auditorium*
as hns been published.)
The main lx>ut will be the postponed af
fair between Olseu. of Asheville, N. C. t aud
Demetrlnl, of Greece. The last time the
men met the strangle hold wns barred .and
as Dcmetrlal used one the decision was
given to Olsen. Claiming thnt the bout but
not the match should have gone to the
Swede, the affair was protested by the
men who had l>et on the Greek.
The whole thing will be wrestled over
again Monday night. George Baptiste has
been brought from 8t. Loul* to net as ref
eree nnd hns promised to give the public
a square deal.
As n special feature Glllmore and Chrla<
tensen have been matched to wrestle for
a purse of 1200. Christensen srrived from
Macon this morning and Is presumably
ready for the go, though he has s'kick
coming about something.
The storting gnn will bs fired at 8:30
o'clock.
RAIN SPOILS
LEAGUE GAMES
Rain Stops Team Match
On Piedmont Park Course
The team match which waa to have been
played Saturday afternoon between Til-
eon's team and Byrd's team was stopped
by the rain. All the contestants were on
the course when the shower hit the local
ity, nnd thoae who did not find Immediate
shelter were thoroughly drenched.
Three pairs finished out the first round,
nfter tho rain let up a bit,-but when they
reached the club bouse tbo match waa de
clared off. When the postponement wns
decided on Byrd's team was slightly In the
lend.
The players finished up the afternoon
with an Impromptu driving match from
the first tee. F. G. Byrd proved the star
at this department of the game, though alt
the player, sent Out some sensational
drive*.
The short courso which has been opened
at East Lake by the Atlanta Athletic Club
has Jumped 'Into Immediate popularity.
While the players are not allowed to use
the regular greens as yet nnd although the
course la far from being in Its beat condi
tion, a number of players have been out
trying the course'and nil seem'pleased
with It.

MARTIN J. SHERIDAN NOW
CHAMPION GOAT CATCHER
By Private leased Wire.
New York, July 30.—Patrolman Martin J.
Sheridan, all-round athletic champion of
the world who gathered laurels at the Olym
pic games, yesterday became the chnmplon
gout catcher of the country. He was sent
to Arthur avenue and 187th street,* where
Gulseppo 8ernuo*s garden was being de
stroyed by the animals.
Sheridan chased and caught five goats and
flung them Into n wagon driven by Pound
Keeper Weigel. The goats chafed at the
coiitluement, nnd jumped over the toll-
iMutnl nnd sides. Weigel am! Sheridan leap
ed to the streets nnd the merry chase went
on ogniu.
Roundsman McDermott, a volunteer, was
butted In the solar plexus niul went down
like a log. Vllled with nnger, he resumed
the pursuit, and when he got a goat pre
sented It with a few wallops In the visage.
An hour later three of the goats had been
(•captured and Gulseppe's garden grew
again and waxed strong.

Among the many sporting event*

rain Saturday afternoon were the three

tva* under full headway before the
heavens broke loose and all three have
been postponed and will be played
later. No date for playing these games
has been decided on, but It I* likely
that they will be worked off aa double-
headers.
The games scheduled for Saturday
are:
Beck & Gregg va. Regenateln.

The J. Sllvey-West End game ought
to be a particularly good one, and the
other two will undoubtedly be worth

O PRESIDENT ORDERS O
O CASTRO’S SUSPENSION. O
O O
00000O00O0O00OOOO0OO00000O
President McSweeney yesterday re
ceived a letter from President Kava
naugh announcing the suspension of
Captain Castro for three days. The
suspension was ordered at the sugges
tion of Umpire Pfennlhger, with whom
Captain Castro had some words last
week during a game with Little Rock.
The wlelder of the Indicator Informed
President Kavanaugh that the Naah
vllle player on that occasion used lan
guage which would not look well In
print, and recommended as suitable
punishment that he be prohibited from
playing for' a period of three days.
Upon the receipt of the letter President
McSweeney wired the league president
that Castro was badly needed and
asked that the suspension order be re
voked. Tha president was obdurate,
however, and replied that the good of
the game In Nashville required that
the Venesuelan take a few day* off.
There was nothing else to do and the
gallant captain for the next w days
will merely be a spectator at .ho dia
mond battles.—Nashville Bsn.ier.

The nine hole golf course at Memphis Is
being made Into an eighteen hole affair.
Tom Bemllow, who laid out the first nine,
Is putting In tho second. The new course
will he 6,100 yard, long and will rank among
the best In the 8outh.
Mr. Bendlow Is also planning to lay oat
a putting course for the Memphis clab
which can be used at night and which
will be lighted by electric light*
The Western Golf Association la doing
much this year to Interest the Junior golf,
ore-thoso under 18 years of age. Inter-
club matches, open only to boys under 1!,
nnd apeclal tournaments with the same age
limit In effect are being run off. It Is
rcnllzed by the W. G. A. that the time for
anyone to learn golf Is when they ire young
and thnt to develop good players In the
West tho players must be stnrteiVyoung v
nt n time when a good swing Is eaffijntnl
naturally acquired.
The golf committee of the Atlanta Ath
letic Club might do well to notice the ac
tion of the organisation of which the local
club will no doubt some day be an actlre
member.
