12 TOE ATT. A NT A GEORGIAN, TUESDAY, AUGUST 7, 1906. CRACKERS GET BUSY AGAIN AFTER A DAY OF NEEDED REST Busy Times in Birmingham, Then on Again to Nashville With the cheerful prospect of foar f supra In two days, the Atlanta team l> beftn- nine to think of setting back to home grounds. Wednesday night, the bnnch will pack op and leave the City of Smoke for Nashville. And then, after thrra day* of play, they will head again for Piedmont park. Birmingham Is the first victim scheduled for the slaughter on home grounds, and next comes Montgomery. Those games with Birmingham ought to t>e among the best of the season, provided Atlanta can keep up the same desperate fight which she has been putting np of late. The Barons are leading the pennant race now, and are likely to be when they meet the Crackers on the home grounds. If At lantn keeps well up, some neck-and-neck contests are likely , to result. The Atlanta players got the rest they have needed so long Monday at Binning ham, for, on account of wet grounds, the double header scheduled for Monday was called off. This helps some. In the present crippled condition of the tram. If the Crackers had bad to play flvs games In three days, It would have boon ipretty tough. Four In two days will be bad enough, but after the Kunday and Monday lay-off, the Crack ers ought to be fresh and ready for what ever happens. Huge Crowd Expected For Georgian-News Ball Game Attendance records at Piedmont park will undoubtedly be broken Tuesday af ternoon when the baseball teams repre senting The Atlanta Georgian and The At lanta News will meet In bloody, and, per haps, mortal combat on the diamond. Qirpenters were busy all the morning erecting extra seats. Five thousand chairs have been placed around the Infield, tra gates have been “let In'* the fence. If necessary, the fence wilt l>e taken down. Forty-fire new knot holes hare also been added. Tuesday morning. The Georgian manage ment signed two new uen—B. ft. Brown and Palmer. Brown was one of the near- wonders of the last Tech baseball sea so tv HARVARD CREW HAS_ARRIVED REACHES ENGLAND WITH EVERY MAN WELL AND CONFIDENT • OF 8UCCESS.

New York, Aug. 7.—Tommy Morphy, by n great rally In the fourth and laat round, had the best of Bplke Robson In a rattling six-round go before the National Athletic Club In Philadelphia laat night. Palmer, who bandies the Ilearst wire when not playing baseball, has hid a profession al career. He played with Atlanta some thing over twenty years ago. Since then he has dropped baseball, but will pick It up again for the occasion. The report that Lajoie, Hans Wagner, Mathewaon and others from the t>!g lefiguea have heen brought here for the game, and will play on The Georgian tram, Is brand ed by tbu management ns utterly false.

Ho does not ke?p tIn _i on the t>cnch to find out wbeth er they will do." Charlie Fox, down In New Orleans, hss Token loose again. Charlie Is prone to fly on a ta i*ent on nearly erery occasion. was hoped the managing editor The Dat'v Statea had put a halter on Charlie. It seems not. Either he or Lee has taken the bit In their teeth and are making rash statements again. The lateet rot to appear In their sheets Is a glaring head line to tha effect that Billy Smith was handed his own medicine over In At lanta, and that he was justly suspended. Cbarll* must be a long-dlntance mnn, all right. To presume to criticise a man W0 miles away Is going some. Wireless tel egraphy will have to back down. Noth ing haa aa yet been Invented which an nihilates space like the brain of Charlie. Why n aane editor allows such meu to scatter Ink over an otherwise docent pa per Is uot known*—Birmingham ledger. In fjet, It has !>een the mystery of ths Southern League for some years. Another fight has been threatened In Atlanta. “Mob the nmplre!" has become tho slogan of the Atlanta fans.—Birming ham News. Poor Atlanta.—Montgomery Journal. Poor Montgomery. The Birmingham Ledger aaya that At lanta Is a lot of quitters, officials and players alike. That haa been the opinion of the writer alnce the season opened.— Bally States. FAN TYRE No.- 21 iTUDIES IN EXPRESSION BY CARTOONI8T BREWERTON. Well, If the Fox-Let combination on The Statea la against us, how can we hope to succeed? It Is reported from Atlanta that Vaughn la undecided about playing those two double-headers with Atlanta next Tuesday and Wednesday. Don't you ever think he Is undecided.—Birmingham Ledger. Well, we didn't think he was ourselves, bat he said so. And It was In a telegram, which he could not deny, as he does Inter views, now and then. Every one sympathises with Fox. Is a gentleman on the ball field and bad made many friends here. It is hoped ho will be back In the game toon.—Montgomery Journal. Here Is a “dog story" that would make even The New York Sun blush. It wps taken from Ths New York World: “Teddy, an Irish setter, Is as fond of a game of bnscball as any human He belongs to Herman C. Heinrich, the proprietor of an 'art gallery' at Hamburg place and Mngasloe street, Newark, poalte the* Easter? League Iktsebnl! grounds. “The setter acquired the baaebnll habit four yeara ago. lie went to every game with his master. Heinrich quit going, but Teddy did not. The tickot takers know him and let him In free. When the biped fans cheer a good play, Teddy frisks around and barks joyously. When the bn* mans hurl epithets at the umpire, Teddy howls long nnd mournfully, saying ns plain ly as he can, *I)ld any one ever bear a worse decision than that?’ “ 'Curveless Wonder" Goodwin, the old Memphis twlrler, has beeu appointed on the umpire staff In the Cotton States League, vice Brady, realgned. Goodwin pitched a few games for Mobile nnd seem ed to be doing pretty nicely, but evidently he could not deliver the groceries.—Shreve port Times. Wonder what hupi>ened to Goodwin? A few years ago—In the fall of 1904 to be ex- net—he was so good that Brooklyn bought him, nnd now he can’t make good ns a pitcher In ths Cotton States. “Artful Ar tis’’ does not seem to have gone nny of the usual routes to enforced* retirement. He doea not drink to excess. He works hard and Is nmbitlous. He hns .a good bead and Iron nerve. Ills phystcnl condition Is first-class. Ami he Is atlll young. Yet he enn not pitch now a tenth ns well as he did two years ago. Since Memphis won from Atlanta two Saturdays ago, the papers there have been kicking, and kicking bard, because game waa called before the end of the ninth Inning In order that the Memphis players might catch the train. The base ball writers have made the point that the game was started earlier than the ached nle time In order that the Memphis clnb might be done a favor.—Memphis News* Scimitar. The point was, Mack, that the Memphis .players used tactics which delnyed ths game. According to one of the recent ef fusions emanating from Little Rock, Cam- pan should bsve been fired for not mak ing the Burglars play tbs game at ths usual rats. Y*ou may say what you want to, but Bncklsy Improve* svery day. lie has mad* a foo«j and conscientious bolder of the Indicator. He has mads good with the fans bars, and if ht wants to corns back next season he will come.—Montgomery Journal. Buckley Is certainly the best In the league this year. It Is not often a ball game Is played and .five double plays successfully pulled off, but this Is what happened In the sec- oud game yesterday. RIckert came In for an unassisted double during the afternoon, lie fielded a fly ball In left, and ^ben I tent the baae-runner back to second base.—Mon day’s New Orleans IMcsynne. The Fellcan writers are calling for the summary dlsmltaa! of Manager Smith.— Birmingham Age-Hera|d. If there were uq other reason for keep* lug him, that one would be sufficient. Down In New /Orleans, The States Is referring to local writers ns “liars" and 'low down au0 contemptible scouu- drele." Nice talk for a newspaper, Isn't Yellow all the way through. Keep It up. gentlemen.—Birmingham Age-Herald. They probably will. They have been at It at long at the present Southern League has existed. Freeman and Everett Make Good Scores at Lakewooc They were certainly shooting some out at Lakewood Monday over the traps of the Atlanta Gun Club. Freeman, with 147 out of 150; Everett, with 140 out of 150; Thorn ton, with two 23’s; Belsendofer, with one 23 and Poole with 47 out of 60 were the best performers. Freeman's work was good, ns usnai. He broke 50 straight, then made n 24 and a 23 and flnlsb-d ap with 50 more straight, the last 25 at 20 yards' rise. Everett was at hla best; and, barring a rouplo of 22's, was close around a-perfect score. In his match with Freeman at 20 yards ho broke 24 out of 25 and lost by <*]• one bird. ^ Poole shot in but two events, bat h« missed only three birds oat of th«* fifty.

NOTES AT RANDOM ON MONDAY’S MIXES Holmes pitched a no-hit game Monday against Jacksonville. Nashville took a double-header from Montgomery Monday. Mlque Finu's pets beginning to wake up, bnt alas! It is too late. - riteber Borrel, of Nashville, who hns been laid on the shelf for most of the sen- j, was in the game Monday. He pitched six Innings of the second game, when he retired In favor of Sailor Jack Ely. Charles Frank’s "rubber ball dopraters' swelled their batting averages yesterday, They made 21 hits off Brady and Quick, Brady was taken out of the box In the fourth Inning. The Terrible Tribble dropped one of Montgomery’s games to Nnshvllle. He al lowed the same number of hits as Buch anan, bnt ’Nashville made six runs out of nine hits, while Montgomery could make only one. Memphis hns been camping on Shreve port’s trail most of this season when not busily occupied In sticking the harpoon into Atlinta-and twisting it. McGraw was asked to vacate the Polo grounds again Monday. Wonder how many times this , la for the season. Washington played a nasty trick on De troit. Didn’t reach second base, except once, until the ninth. Then made four runs and tied the score. Won out In the tenth with a single run. Guess that,'s something of a rally. Cleveland at last has something she can trim. The name of the “trlmee" Is Boston. a two-hit game for Never Too Old For Golf . T. C. Allbutt, reglus professor of physics at Cambridge University, says a London dispatch to the New York 8un, re cently gave out the dictum that the law ought to forbid any man to begin playing the game of golf before he is K years old, until which time he Is capable of more vig orous athletics. Dr. Allbutt left it to be In ferred that golf should only be regarded as kind of fast resort for those tottering down hill toward senility. The presentation of the golf problem In this form led to inquiries among the best known exponents nnd amateurs of British athletic garnet. As a result the following table was compiled, representing theories well ns practice: Cricket should be abandoned at 40 years; football, 30; hockey, 35; lawn tenuis, by women, 45, and by men, 60; rowing, 60. The age for quitting cycling was not definitely fixed. According to the table, golf should be played while life lasts but should not be begun too young. ^Scotland's Ice sport curling alone takes no regard for time, but looks forward to eternity. SUMMER SCHOOL WINS. Special to The Georgian. Oxford, Ga., Aug. 7.—Saturday afternoon the baseball team of Emory college summer school played n very Interesting game of ball with the tram of Jersey. The game was very done, and had It not been for a series of errors on the part of the Jersey players In the fourth, when three rnns were scored by their opponents, the score would have been n tie.

How Farley Saved the Day For Colorado Springs I ain’t no Judge of ImoelMU as she's played In longues today, where mixed with one-third “Can w* win?** Is two-thirds “Make It pay!" 1 re seen a heap of .players since 1 move*! my trappings east. And watohed ent strut lit uniforms, the greatest ami the least; But when I watch a game down here my memory sort o' wings . To n little cbnp named Farley, back In Colorado Springs. The Western league was ntnnln* then—''twas Jest five years ago. With the Denver clnb n-comin* fast and oar lwys all playin' slow. Then this 4-hap Farley happened In—uoitody knowod from where. Most likely, from the way lie looked, to get the mountain sir. lie didn't do no kickin’, bnt 1 guess you all know whv A man goes out a-ratnplu' where the nltytood is high. He didn't have big shoulders, like Mathewson or Arnes, He started pitching for the Springs, and won his first six games, lie didn't have no muscle, and hts In-shoot didn't dart— I guess the most he narked around was gray matter nnd heart. Sometimes we asked him not to work—he looked so tblu and white; But be said THAT wouldn't kill him—and I reckon he was right. Then Denver came to play us, jest before-the season's atop— We only had to brat ’em one to finish at the top. And when the Cap asked Farley was he strong enough to win, "I ain't no James J. Jeffries,” came the answer with s grin, “Rut 1 wouldn't lie a lilt surprised if I could stand the rob?’ * And so the lad went In to pitch against the Deurer Hub. Twas a sure uttff pitcher*' battle; eight Innings went to seed And found the tally one to naught, the Springs t»oys In the lead. Then Farley seemed to crumple, nud our spines got sort o* chilled When iiuleker *u I can tell It Denver had the bases filled. A knocker yelled at Farley. “What's the trouble with your heart?" But the rest of ua knew better where the trouble had It* start. The slim, pale pitcher heard the tannt; again hla arm seemed stout— The lienver shortstop popped one np-the next two men struck oat. “I'm glad It's wou.” gasped Farley, “they had me—going—south." Then the laat red. ruthless torrent iume gushing from hts month. And I'll »*et St. Deter Jumped around to git a pair of wings For a little chap named Farley, hark In Colorado Springs. -WILLIAM F.
