Busy Times in Birmingham,
Then on Again to Nashville
With the rheprful prouppct of four games I «'
in two days, the Atlanta team Is begin
nlng to think of getting baek to bom*
grounds. Wednesday night, the bunch will
pack up and Iran* the City of 8moke tot
Nashville. And then, after three days of
play, they will bend again for Piedmont
park.
Birmingham Is the first victim scheduled
for the slaughter on home grounds, t
next comes Montgomery. . .
Those games with Birmingham ought
be among the best of the season, provided
Atlanta can keep up the same desperate
tight which she has been puttlug up

Qneenstown, Aug. 7.—The Harvard eight-

rived here last night on the White Star
Line steamer Cedric. The men enjoyed
the trip over, and exercised on board ship
ns much as possible. They are In splen

Asked what they thought of their pros

they declared they would not havo crossed

Ten Minutes With the Baseball Writers
The New Tork Bun says: “There Is one
thing commendable about Connie • Mnck,
and that Is, he does not lose any time
trying out new pitchers. He does not
keep them on the bench to find out wheth
er they will do,"
Charlie Fox, down In New Orleans, has
broken loose again. Charlie Is prone to
fly on a tangent on nearly every occasion.
It was hoped the mnuaglng editor of
The Dally States had put a baiter on
Charlie. It seems not. Either he or Tee
has taken the bit In their tooth snd tro
making rash statements again. The latest
rot to appear In their sheets Is a glaring

Never Too Old For Golf
Dr. T. C. Allbutt, regtus professor of
physics et Cambridge University, says a
London dispatch to the New York Ban, re
cently gave out the dictum that the law
ought to forbid any man to begin playing
the game of golf before he Is IK years old,
until which time he Is capable of more vig
orous athletics. I>r. Allbutt left It to he In
ferred that golf should only lie regarded ns
kind of last resort for those tottering
down hill toward aenlllty.
The presentation of the golf problem In
this form led to Inquiries among the twet
known exponents and amateurs of British
nthle(lc games. As a result the following
table was compiled, representing theories
as well ns practice: Cricket should N
abandoned at 40 years: football, 10; hockey,
SS; lawn tennis, by women. 41, and by men,
<0; rowing. 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. Bscotlsnd’s Ice sport
curling alone takes no rcgiA for time, but
looks forward to eternity.

nere la a "dog story" that would make
even The New York Ban blush. It was
taken from The New York World:
"Teddy, an Irish aetter. Is as fond of
a game of baseball as any hnman "fan.
He belongs to Herman C. Heinrich, the
proprietor of an 'art gallery' at Hamburg
place and Magaslno street, Newark,
posits tbs Eastern locague baseball
grounds.
"The setter acquired the baseball tanblt
four years ngo. lie went to every game
with bis master. Iletnrlcb quit going, but
Teddy did not. The ticket takers know
him and let him lb free. When the biped
fans cheer n good play, TeCdy frisks
around aud barks Joyously. When the hu
mans hnrl epithets at the umpire, Teddy
howls long and mournfully, saying at plain
ly aa he can, ‘Did any one ever bear a
worse decision than that?' "j
'Curreleaa Wonder" Goodwin, the old
Memphis twlrler, has beeu appointed on
the umpire staff In the Cotton Btntes
League, vice Brady, resigned, Goodwin
pitched a few games for Mobile and aeei».
ed to be doing pretty nicely, but evldeutly
he could not deliver the groceries.—Mhreve-
port Times.
Wonder wliat happened to Goodwin? A
few years ago-ln the fall of to lie ex
act—he was so good that Brooklyn liought
him, aud now ho can't make good as a
pitcher In the Cotton States. "Artful Ar
tie" does not seem to have gone any of
the usual routes to enforced retirement. He
does not drink to excess. He works hnrd
and la ambitious. He has a good head
and Iron nerve. Ills physical condition Is
first-class. And he Is still young. . Yet
be can not pitch now a tenth at well as
he did two years ago.
Blnre Memphis won from Atlanta two
Saturdays ago, the papers there have been
kicking, and kicking bard, because
game was called lieforo the end of the
ninth Inning In order that the Memphis
players might catch 'the train. The base*
bnll writers have made the point that the
game was started earlier than the ached
ale time In order that the Memphis club
might be done a favor.—Memphis News*
Scimitar.
The point was, Mnck. that the Memphis
players nsed * tactics which delayed the
gnme. According to onej»f the recent ef
fusions emanating from Little Rock, Cam
pau should have boon fired for not rank
lug the Burglars plsy the game at the
usual rats.
You may. say what you want to, but
Buckley Improves every day. He tuts
made n good and conscientious holder of
the Indicator. He has made good with the
fans here, and If he wants to corao 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
ond game yesterday. Rlckert came In for
an unassisted double during the afternoon.
He fielded a fly ball In left, and then beat
the base-runner laick to second base.—Mon

NOTES AT RANDOM
ON MONDAY’S MIXES
Holmes pitched a no blt game 'Monday
against Jacksonville.
Nashville took a double-header flora
Montgomery Monday. Mlqno Finn's pets
are loginning to wake up, but alas! It Is
too late.
Pitcher Sorrel, of Nashville, who has
been laid on the fhelf for most of the sea
son, was In the game Monday. He pitched
six Innings of the second gnme, wheu he
retired lu favor of Sailor Jack Ely.
Charles Frank's "rubber bnll dopcstera'
swelled their batting averages yesterday.
They made 21 hits off Brady snd Quick,
Brady was taken out of the box lu the
fourth Inning.
The Terrible Tribble dropped one
Montgomery’s games to Nashville. He al
lowed the same number of bits as Bach*
•nan, bat Nashville made six runs out of
nine bits, while Montgomery could make
only one.
Memphis has been camping on Shreve
port's trail most of this season when not
busily occupied In sticking the harpoon Into
Atlanta—and twisting It.
McGraw was asked to vacate the Polo
grounds again Monday. Wonder how many
times this Is for the season.
Washington played a nasty trick on De

once, until the ninth. Then made four
