Defeat in Montgomery Puts

Fourth place now, dod gaat It.

the aid of D. Mullanty. dod g**t him, too,

The ahlft which dropped Atlanta below

Vanderbilt, the New York Yacht Club to

STARS OF MONTGOMERY AGGREGATION
In Apperloue, center fielder; McCann, right fielder, and Perry, third baeeman, Montgomery hae a great
trio. Not one of them le In danger of being touted (or tho All-Southern League team or anything like that,
but all three are steady fleldera, hard hitters and good men on the base*.
OUTPOURINGS OF THE LEAGUE DOPE MILLS
The news reaches here from Little Ttock
that Knvanaugh la at last going to make
an Investigation. Guess who la going to
be Investigated? Not Frank or Brelten-
•teln. Oh, no! The mnn who will have
to face the music la “Kid" Buckley.
Charges have been preferred against Um
pire Buckley, nnd he I* bolng to lie In
vestigated. Home nbowlng has got to be
made, and It must be made on a $5 a day
umpire. Buckley la Incompetent, but It
(s amusing with what haste the Little Rock
mogul calls the Investigation so na to have
some one na a scapegoat.—Birmingham
Ledger.
Inventlgate Buckley and suspend Hilly
Rmlth, but frame things up so that rubber
ball charges can not be pushed, nnd let
Breltenstetn's assault on Carey go uupun-
(shed.
It la all right, perhnpa, but It looks Uke
favoritism.
The Augusta Tribune must have nn Imag
inative correspondent In Atlanta, “If any/'
Thursday that paper carried a atory to
the effect that Billy Hmtlh had been sus
pended and flued $100<!) for striking and
cursing!!) Umpire Hhuster. At the end of
the article. The Tribune runs, evidently In
nil seriousness, and certainly without cred
it, the auppoaed-to-be-funny “Intervlewa"
which the writer ground out for tho occa
sion.
The dirtiest baseball league In existence
la undoubtedly the American Association.
Everything that la against the beat Inter-
eats of baseball baa gone on there for
years.
The climax, or what ought to be the ell-
max, was the faking of charge* against
Umpire Owens, charging hint with betllug
on baseball games. False testimony was
Introduced and a deliberate attempt made
to ruin Owens.
Fortunately for the good of baseball, the
charges were proven to bo false, and
Owens waa exonerated.
Now If the association Is worth powder
enough to blow It Into chunks,' which Is'
doubtful. It will do something to the men
who brought the false charges against
Owens.
The sporting writers about the circuit
are tiring of their wordy wars. Even
Ths Dally Htates nnd The Georgian have
ceased to print “hot stuff." It was really
a pleasure to resd these two sheets when
the war was at Its highest. Something
new cropped out every day, but now The
Htates ha* quit. Trohahly the editor has
fled a halter around tha neck of ths ver
bose sporting writer.—Birmingham Ledger.
Wrong again. Willy. We nre Just tired
of wasting good ammunition ou such a soft
target.
It waa good of Shreveport to l»ent Mem
phis. Stockdale and HIcktnan both pitch
ed sensational ball, aud both got poor sup
port.
It must have been an awful surprlac to
Birmingham wheu Nashville trimmed the
Barons. Loud howl* nre now due from
the Birmingham paper*, and nil will, no
doubt, arise and suggest n change In man
agement.
Bill Phillips W the hanl-luck pitcher
for sure. He gets more whelps ou the
Soodle. leg*, arms and all other conceiva
ble placet than any pitcher lu the busi
ness, I’ll warrant.. Yesterday It looked like
half the ball* the Travelers landeil on went
right straight at Bill, and nearly every
time Bill had a bard time getjlng them
lu time to throw th* /uuner out. Only
one went Into his glove, *nd that one he
held on to. Two or three hit him on the
shin* and rolled away, but he managcol to
gamer them fa. Two tMinnded over hi*
head, but he couldn’t atop the course of
but one sufficiently to recover It in time
to throw to O'Brien.
Bill hat received a number of hnrtl
wallopa by hard lilt balls this summer,
and only a few days ago at Atlanta—
In the last gnine he pitched liefore yes
terday—he was knocked out cold by a hit
ball that stung him on the forehead and
brought the blood In a great stream. It
happened In the second Inning, nnd after
he had regained consciousness he bad to
be taken to the bench, where he iWpialned
the rest of the game. Two or three times
less serious accidents have happened to
him on the local grounds, nnd It looks
like a queer play of fate Is always after
Bill.—New Orleana exchange.
Maybe Rill la gattlng too old to get out
of the way of the ball.
It was the Honorable Dominick Mullaney,
lu 1903. It was Hporting Editor Mullaney
lu 1905.
Hid Hralth. railed “governor," because his
brother wns a member of the legislature
of Houth Carolina, will now take to the
back woods so deep that nil of tho Atlanta
papers can not call him back again. Man
ager Mullaney, In charge of the “Bleep-
era," was elected tot, he legislature from
Jefferson county, Kentucky, In 1903, nnd for
sixHty days drew his $5 per.—Birmingham
Age-Herald.
“Dora" Is certainly the alar «• « general
utility man.
There are many prominent fans of Bir
mingham who sincerely believe that base
ball la “flxed." That the league directors
pick out a team to win the pennant aud
by common conaent allow everything to
drift that way.
This Idea Is most likely crorneous. Hiill
the league magnates nre allowing them
selves to drift into a policy that Is caus
ing suspicion. Nothing will kill baseball
any quicker than “flxed" games. On some
occasions this can not ee helped. A team
BITS ABOUT TENNIS.
will throw a game along toward the end
of the season. In spite of everything.
Httll It should not he countenanced hy the
liowers that he.—Birmingham Ledger.
It Is absurd to suppose that the league
race Is “flxed." •
Judge Knvanaugh has made hts mistakes,
hut he Is on the square. The mistakes
were hard for Atlanta to Irear, liut local
people nre making the moat of them.
There Is no danger that games will be
thrown thl* year. Of course. If Charley
Frank runs out of plnyers, Shreveport
Memphis would undoubtedly lend him their
1 test men, and Memphis papers are prac
tically charging that Memphis does not try
very hard to win from New Orleans.
But, generally speaking, the race Is on
the square, and no club la getting more
advantages than are allowed by the rnlea of
baseball.
The Arkansas Onsette says that Billy
Smith wns suspended because Hhuster al
legos that Billy Smith struck him. The
same article contains the statement that
the game waa called In the third Inning,
whllo, as n matter of fact, It was at the
.end of the fourth.
If Judge Knvanaugh acted against Rmlth
on such misinformation as this. It la high
time he found out the truth.
No extra editions are being gotten out
In Atlanta because the team la crawling
to the fore.—Birmingham Ledger.
Right again, bo. We get out baseball
<m1 It Iona here every afternoon. People read
them here whether the team la ahad or
not. Thla town la dlffrent from Binning
ham.
The Rt. Louis National* have made a
stagger at trading Pitcher Egan nnd Short
stop McBride for Billy Phyle, once of
Routhcrn League fame—1M and otherwise.
Up to yet, Billy has refused to go, and
brings Into play the time-honored threat of
Jumping to the outlaws.

“BILLY SMITH HAD NO BUSINESS

Here is what William Kavannugh, president of the Southern League,
had to *ay In reply to the telegram sent by the sporting editors of the
Atlanta papers, stating that Billy Smith did not hit Umpire Shuster In
their “run-in" the other day nt Piedmont:
“Little Hock. Ark., August 3.
“P. II. Whiting and others, Atlanta. Ga.:
"If Smith did not strike Umpire Shuster, what did he do? He la a

Jack Blackburn nltnoat knocked out Billy

CUT OUT THE “CARBONS."
To the pres* agent of the Capitol Avenue-
United Brethren game «ud to nil other

The (Georgiaii dm* not print notices of

POOR START

CRACKERS LEAD OFF TRIP WITH
DEFEAT AT HANDS OF
CLIMBERS.
ATLANTA ?
MONTGOMERY e
Special to The Georgian.
Montgomery, Ain., Aug. 3.—Atlanta's Jos
tle with the Eastern clubs began In nn
unfortunate manlier here yesterday, for
Montgomery trimmed the Crackera by the
score of 6 to 2.
Tribble, the Georgia Rtnte League grad
unte, waa In the box for tho Climbers, nnd
he pitched good ball and drew errorless
support.
The local bunch wn*. highly elated
defeutlng Atlanta, nnd the style In which
they accomplished It, combined with their
previous good luck against Birmingham,
convinced Manager Mullaney nnd hla fob
lowers that Montgomery la still a pen
nant possibility.
For three Innings yesterday the teams
ran neck nnd neck. In Atlanta's half of
the fourth, the Crackera took on a lead of
two run*, but Montgomery evened things
up In the next half by ncorlng two. The
locals made two more In the fifth and nn
equal numlicr In the sixth. Atlanta could
not score after the fourth, and there was
nothing more doing for the boys from
fJeorgla.
