ANOTHER PROMISED IN SOUTHERN
RANSICK NOT
DISCOURAGED
SIGNS ERVE BECK AND WILL LET
LOOSE MONEY TO GET A PEN-
NANT WINNER.
Bpeelal to The Georgian,
Augusta. <)rn., Aug. 8.—Th® Tourist® have
falleu from the high point that they have
held for the entire sea eon, and now the
Savannah bunch have gained the topmost
round. Manager Kniudck, however, says
that he has never felt more confident of
getting the pennant, and he declares that
he will have It, regardless of the cost.
In order to strengthen the Augusta team
Manager Itanslck secured the services of
Bock, an ex-Southern leaguer, end he
made his first appearance on the grounds
yesterday afternoon. lie Is not a very
bright star, and will doubtless l»e served a
pink slip In n few days. If he does not
show an Improvement. Walter South, who
Is the Tourists' regular first sacker, has
lieen on the "cripple list" for the past
month.
The notice received In Augusts yesterday
through the sporting columns of The
Georgian, to the effect that the owners of
the Atlanta club were anxious to get In
the South Atlantic League, was received
with much delight, for It is believed that
with the addition of Atlanta nud Birming
ham and with the class of the South 'At-
lantlc being raised to "II." that the league
will be a much faster and I tetter league.
The attendance In Augusta this year has
Iteen very nearly e«|unl to that of the cities
In the Southern tongue, and In some In
stances It has been much (tetter than the
average «of the Southern league, towns
where a losing team Is playing.
NEWS GANG IS
SLAUGHTERED
Amidst the Rounds of clapglng am
bulance gongs and the ehrleka of ad
miring multitudes The At
lanta Georgian employees
handed defeat to The At
lanta News' hired men at
Piedmont park Tuesday af-
, temoon. The scoro waa 11
0 8.
Thn spectators alone were
CapT.turner on Inspiring sight. On the
umpired, bleachers was one lone man,
the boxes were deserted, In
the “for men only" place were a few
dosen small boys, und In the grand
stand were a score of
admiring wives, sisters,
sons, daughters and
friends of the contest
ants.
But what they saw
will long be remem
bered. The Georgian
staff played ball that
would have made Con-
nlo Mack's brigade
blush aloud. Thompson
had the speed of a
Matthewson, the curves of IVaddell and
the headwork of a Kahn, flub Hud
dleston did stunts be
hind the bat that made
Archer look like a be
ginner. PressHuddle-
ston at second played
ball that would force

baseball If . he weren't

slides home. His fielding had Its
faults, but on the
coaching line he was the works.
The Newsies were never In the hunt.
In the Httb Inning they took
down live runs, but that did
them little good, for The Geor
gians cut off the supply and
nothing happened thereafter.
Walter Taylor, of The Jour
nal, who had agreed to umpire,
lost his nerve at the critical
moment and chief Joyner was
pressed Into service. The chief
umpired a grout game and gave
general satisfaction.
One Incident marred the game. Just
at the close Lee Smith, who wits doing
the Jtm Pox Btunt on first,
desperate stab at a
1 one toward the bag and u
on his right hand wua
n. Borne Juvenile Mc-
Gann was called In to finish
the game and the next man up
batted to him and the game
ended with a pretty double.
The News has challenged for
Onr another game, but It Is proba-
twirier, ble that they will bo required
to go out and “get them a rep
utation" before being given another
chance.

Not since the troublesonio days .back In
1902 has the Southern League been iu such
a critical condition and as near n large
and entertaining fra* fight na It Is right
"t*W.
Three separate flghte are ready to start
lu the Southern League.
For oue thing, Atlanta Is willing to drop
out of the Southern nnd go to the South
Atlantic league, carrying nirmlnghnni with
her, provided the Iron. City Is willing.
Now .comes the rumor from Shreveport
thnt n definite plan Is being worked out to
oust Shreveport and Little Hook from the
Southern League and take ou two other
cities. *
The th^rd complication la the wnrm fight
which Is on In Atlanta sud Birmingham to
ou«t President Kuvsnaugh from hit posi
tion.
With nil these things stirring, the pros
peels for warm doings were never better
In the Southern.
Whether or not anything will come of
the plan for transferring Atlanta from the
Southern league to tbo South Atlantic time
will tell.
Hut one* thing Is perfectly certain: At
lanta. nnd Illruilughniu are thoroughly sick
of the domination of the league by New
Orleaus forces, under the leadership of
»'barley Frank, and would welcome nuy on*
of the three possibilities for relief.
If Shreveport nud Little Hock are knock
ed nut of the league tlie majority of That
Dutchman In Southern league meetings Is
gone, for the present at least. And
doubtedly their ttu-cannig would help the
league. ,
Shreveport since the beginning nnd Lit
tle Itoek for at least three years have lx*en
e "dead ones" of the league. Practically
ery team which goes to those towns loses
money. Once In a doseti times, perhaps, a
team draws down more thau the guarantee.
Hut usually the manager has to accept the
little old 875 nnd lose tbe difference between
thnt nud his expenses.
Both Shreveport a ml Little Hook are so
•eldedly remote thnt It Is necessary t*
burn up thousands of dollars a year In ear
fare to get the teams over to these two
little towns.
But there Is little use In thrashing oxer
this matter again. It has lw»en pointed out
thousand times lu the lost three years
why Mhrcveport nnd Little Hock should lx*
put out of the league, and still the league
has persisted In nllowtug them to retain
their franchises.
Now thnt It I* necessary to tin something
to break up Charley Frank's hold on the
league, however, the ehauces that Shreve
port mol Little Hock will get the pink slip
are brighter than ever l*efore.
It Is presumed that If Little Itoek drops
out of the league 1‘resident Knvaitaugh will
not hold office again. It Is the writer's
linpressloii that tbe judge Is on record that
he will not serve the league If Little Hock
drops out—but this may Ik* a mistake.
Unquestionably there Is a fight on Judge
Knvauaugh In Atlanta nud Birmingham,
nnd It may end In his defeat, provided he
decided to run again.
lu any event, things are likely to happen
between the pwwtt and the time of the
Southern League meting, nnd It Is hard to
sue w hat will route out of the shake up.
The following Is a story, presumably niu
plltted by T. G. Scarbrough, of tbe Mem
phis Commercial Appeal, from the skeleton
report sent by the Commercial's corre
spondent with the team:
"No very great surprise will be occasion
ed here should n rebellion occur lu the
rnuks of the Southern League by the time
of the next annual meeting of the Southern
longue. Shreveport fans have already
henrd thnt secession Is likely to occur on
the part of ono or two meiulH*rs of the so-
called Eastern circuit of tbo eight-club
chain that has held Intact alnre the forma
tion of the present organisation, which
witnessed the forfeiture of Chattanooga's
franchise during the atonuy aftermath of
the HI. Vrnln-t'hurley Frauk-Cnruthers Ew
ing litigation In 1903. According to the
new* received over tho wireless here At
lanta nud Birmingham will favor the elim
ination of Shreveport and Little Hock and
the substitution of Chattanooga and Hn-
vaunnh, or of two other desirable cities
east of the* Mtsttlxslppl. The long Jump
nud the small ntteudauee at Little Hock
and here fnrnlsbea the most reasonable
foundation for complaint at the present
Southern League map, and now since Hlr-
tuliigbam and Atlanta, together with Mem
phis, nro turning out tho largest audiences
of tho season, which me?ns that the
tropolls of the circuit—New Orleans—has
taken a Iwek sent as the flnnnclul 'back
bone* of the Icagne, the easterners nro
displaying thorough Independence nnd
Jtnnglue they are entitled to more than
ordinary consideration.' On top.of tho an
nouneeinent of the probable fight thnt will
coufront Shreveport nnd Little Itoek to
hold their places In the circuit Is n thor
ough nnd plain plot to beat I*resldent Knv-
nmtugh for tho presidency nt tbo next
election. With KnvtiuatigU local people
well ns those nil over the circuit who i
deratand the situation thoroughly appre
ciate thnt hla connectlofi xvtth ' baseball
Is thnt of the 'office seeking the man.* The
npixisltlon to the Arkntisnu comes from
Birmingham nnd Atlanta, ami according
to advices received here was born from re
marks ft* enthusiastic member* of the press
in the Iron City by Manager Vaughan am)
other officials then;; who desire the over
throw of tho present government probably
In hopes of placing on the throne a weak
er and less able official who can be han
dled for personal gnlna." •
PELICANS PASS BURGLARS
AND GO AFTER BARONS
The scuffle between Memphis and New
Orleans for second place Is quite amusing
them* days, especially liecattse of the cur
rent belief that Memphis Is not any too
anxious to finish ahead of tbe Pelicans lu
the race.
However It hnppened. New Orleans
managed to phi I up ahead of the Burglars
Tuesday, though their lead Is only one of
.002. However, from now It will But lx*
surprising to see the Pellcaus stay In frout
of Babb's team, uo matter where tlu» INdl-
cans may roam, l»e It. far up or low down.
No other ehnuges In the league standing
were noted os a result of Tuesday’s game.
Atlanta Settled a bit ns a result of Tues
day's doubh-he..der and Birmingham soared
rqrresixmdlugiy.
Little Itoek Is atlll last by a large ma
jority.
When the New Orleana team was In lit

ther luvestigatknr of the Breitensteln case,
lie has stated thnt the Incident has uot
lx*en closed yet. and that further Investiga

next Itt Memphis.
1‘erhapa by. the end of the season, when
It will make no difference to Charley
Frank's peasant chance*. BreHeusteta will
lie sus)M*nded for a week or ten days.
Illlly Smith was smiling everywhere. Billy
was saved two woeful defeats.—Birming
ham I^edger.
Judged by Tuesday's effort, guess b; was
saved, one or two. Can’t tell, though.
Johnny Hnggnu of Nashville threw It Into
Montgomery Tuesday. Mullaney used Max-
1‘retty tough to lose that double-header.
However, It's all In the day’s work. Let's
grin and bear It.
Can't win oil of thorn, especially with a
crippled team.
Atlautn may not win the pennant this
year, but It Is going to lie one of the
worst cases of "nearly" that was ever
noted lu these parts.
Try to console yourself with thinking how
tickled they an* down In Blrmlughntu over
beating Atlanta. With all their protesta
tions of friendship, they would rather beat
Atlanta thau any team lu the league.
When Billy Smith received the official no
tification that bis sus|X‘nsloa wits raised he
took a loud whoop. Smith Is all right, and
tbe fans wish him success.—Birmingham
t.edgcr.
Kindly thank tbe fnua lo our behalf.
Anyway, after today's misery the Crack
ers go on to Nashville. Guess maybe the
Billy Hmtthlte* can win a eouple up there.
And tbeu home again for that awful aeries
with Birmingham.

Both teams played good boll, and the vic

HOW THE ROW BEGAN
Local fans are taking a deep Interest lit
the present series between New York Na
tionals nud Chicago.
The game Monday resulted In an at
tempted assault on Umpire Johnstone, once
with the Southern I<cnguc, by the way, and
tlila mens resulted In Johnstone being
barred from the grounds Tuesiiay sad
caused the hot fight which Is now on lu
the National longue.
The Cincinnati Enquirer's story of the
rough bouse In which Johnstoue was the
central figure follows: *
"A mob of thousands nwhlied Umpire
Johnstone and twenty ixillcemen rusned
to his nsMlstancc nt the end of the game
today. He was escorted In jiff tlmfr to tlm
bob* In the fence, where be was glad to
take refuge.
"Cushions sud lx»ttlc* were hurled nt
Johnstone from the upper sraud stand, bat
be was not Injured.
"Hevent! arrest* were made of John-
atoue's assailant*. The trouble was started
when tbe Giant* took a baud nt rough-
house-Imll Slid enraged the fans when tin;
Giants through bullying Johnstone. Man
ager McGraw and Devlin were ordered out
of the game and off the field. . ..
"The trouble started lu the second half
of the fifth littHtht. when the Giants were
at bat. The players thought they were
getting the worst of the decision* nud
shouted nnd yelled whenever Johnstone
rendered a decision not lu their favor.
"Finally the trouble come to a head nnd
the whole team rushed at the umpire.
"The players were In a frenzy nnd ljex*
Hu so fnr forgot himself that no grabbed
tbe official and whirled him slxiut.
"McGraw took n hand In tho fracas, but
his part consisted mostly of snytng thing*.
He gnve Johnstone nil awful roasting.
Johnstone, of course, refused to change bit
derision.
"When the howling players left the um
