I 12 THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN. MONDAY, JULY 30, 1906. 1 FINN’S FOLLOWERS HERE AND EDITED BY PERCY H. WHITING. PENNANT PROSPECTS IMPROVE i —iLJl PUZIUE. vmo tt> THIS 6rfiEAT~ BAiFSA-n- Mamaft-ER. '"HAT AAA.KJ=J H|JA J-00< SO NVAO? "ouR&lMTfa' C0M.IH«>.HPMtf? 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.

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.

(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. 00000000000000000000000000 WHERE THEY PLAY TODAY. O O Nashville In Atlanta.

Sllvey vs. West End. M. Kuts ve. Foote & Davie*. The J. Sllvey-West End game ought to be a particularly good one, and the other two will undoubtedly be worth seeing. !— 000OOOOOOOO0OO0O0OOOOOOOO0 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. Club— Played. Won. Lost. P. Ct.
