If Tommy Hughes ever gets tired of

Think of It. Dicky Crosier dropped a fly.
Luckily It did no damage, for Atlanta bad
a aafa lead.
Rain Interrupted the game for a few min
ute,. It was played out to the full nlue In

Guess Tommy Hughes will he gdod enough

PROSPECT THAT ATLANTA MAY JUMP
CREATES DECIDED STIR IN LEAGUE
The Atlanta Georgian's story of Monday
to the effect that the Atlanta club would
l>e glad to get out of tbe Bouthern League
and Into the Bouth Atlantic, provided It
waa not possible to get some relief from
present undesirable domination ol
Charley Frank, the Tebeau of the South-
era League, stirred up a world of comment
thronghout the South. As a rule, the South
Atlantic papers were delighted with the
prospect of getting such a valuable addi
tion to their circuit, while the Southern
League papers were dismayed at the pros
pect of losing the city which stnnds with
Birmingham aa the backbone of the league
—though It may be mentioned In passing
that many writers tried to conceal this
dismay by much loud talking and strong
writing (strong, In the case of the tyw
Orleans yellows, as butter and ouch things
get strong).
Here art a few selections from the views
of other papers on the question:
"WE WILL NCT LET THEM."
From The New Orleans States.
It Is all a bluff shout Atlanta with
drawing from the Southern Baseball As*
eolation and taking Birmingham with them
ter from Mr. Gshsgsn for $10,000. The Into the South Atlantic League. * As a mat-
nstne of the purchaser could not be learned,
but the rale was tbs talk of the track dur
ing tbe day.
GREENVILLE 0, THOMA8TON 2,
Special to The Georgian.
Greenville, Ga.» Aug. 10.—Thomsston shut
ont Greenville In oue of the fastest games
of the a* sou. The acore waa 2 to 0.
Thomaaton srored twice on error*. Three
doubles were made by McLaughlin, Harris
and McLaughlin for Greenville; one double
for Thomaston.
Smith won the gams for Thomsston by
the fielding of a long fly bad by Culpepper
when the bases were full.

BASEBALL PRE8S AGENTS, •
PLEASE TAKE NOTICE.
ter of feet, such a thing aa Atlanta get
ting out of the Southern League and Join-
Ing tho Bouth Atlantic Is ridiculous, for, In
the first place, tbe National Association of
Professional Bnaeball Clubs, of which the
Southern nnd South Atlantic leagues are
members, would hare to \*> consulted. At
lanta Is a part of tho Southern League cir
cuit, and no matter who may own tho At
lanta franchise that town would have to
he In that circuit nnd no other, no matter
how anxious Cnptalu Joyner may be to
Join the South Atlantic League. 1I« could
not do so because tho Southern League
would oppose It to the bitter end, and
would be upheld In their contentions by the
National Association and the supreme court
of baseball, tbe national commission, which
would be called upon to settle the dispute
and everybody who knows baaebalt law
It* aware that the decision would be that
Atlanta Is still s member of the Southern
League, with, perhaps, new owners of the
franchise. .
"PUT 'EM OUT/' 8AYS T. D.
From The New Orleans Tlmes-Democrat.
Of course, the threat to draw out of
the Southern League on the part of At
lanta Is all a bluff. Everybody arouud
the circuit understands that. Atlanta
didn't even have the courage to come out
nnd take this stand by herself; she has
made what will probably prove on unsuc
cessful attempt to rope poor Birmingham
In With her. Atlanta may not have to
pull out of the Southern League. There Is
a marked possibility that she will be'
thrown out, and Birmingham won't go
with her, either. Twice within the last
three weeks umpires have been mobbed In
the Georgia capital, and It Is safe to say
that these tactics, connected with others
even worse, will not go In such sti or
ganisation as the Southern League, which
has a standard as high as any other base
ball organisation In the couutry.
MAKE IT EA8~»ER FOR FRANK.
From The Macon Telegraph.
In speaking on the subject of Atlanta and
Birmingham leaving the Southern League,
the New Orleans Dally States' dope writer
•ays the remainder of tbe league will be
perfectly witting to let these two go. Theu,
to prove beynud the shadow of s doubt
that Us has been visiting a dope "den,'
this literary genius goes further nnd adds
the startling statement that tbe trading of
Atlanta nnd Birmingham for Chattanooga
nnd Mobile would add to the strength of
the Southern. It might, lu reality, make It
a little easier for Charlie Frank to carry
on hla high-handed measures without Inter
ruption.
BIRMINGHAM - UNWILLING.
From The Birmingham News.
President Bsuxh of the local sssoclntlnn
If the press agent for tbe East I’nlnt
bseebsll teem had signed his nsme to tho
eommnnlestlon to the effect thst the Me-
Cnlle teem forfeited the geme echedoled for

enjoyed a pleasant smile when he road the
throat by Atlanta to withdraw from the
Southern League.
Mr. Baufh Is m little too wise for such n
thing, and of course the Atlanta association
also Is endowed with more wisdom than to
move from a Class A league to a league In
a few classes below.'
One of the New Orleans papers states
thflt It is probable the present owners of the
Atlsnta club will tie naked to retire from
tbe game. Let Kavausngh ask them or let
Charlie Frank start something with At
lanta. The sooner tbe better. Charlie will
get his solar plexus.
DOESNT LOOK HALF BAD.
From The Macon News.
' Editor Percy Whiting of tbe baseball page
of The Atlanta Georgian has Just finished
hitting the pipe.
What Whiting did was to figure up the
populstlon of the cities comprising the
Southern and South Atlaatlb leagues. He
then proposed a change of allegiance on
ths part of Atlanta and Birmingham. And
It does pot look half bad either, Atlanta
seams to hive a pretty good reason ior
soreness at certain Southern League offi
cials nnd her skipping Into tho South At
lantic League wonld prove a balm for that
hurt and bolster up this league as well.
"FOOLI8H ATLANTA.”
From The Montgomery Journal.
The latest thing out In baseball Is the
threat of some of the directors of the At
lanta club to Join the South Atlantic League
or form a new league, and they expect
Birmingham to join them.
Poor Atlanta; foolish Atlanta, This Is
the silliest rot we have ever read. Just
think of It. Chief Joyner says he would
welcome a change. Lowry Arnold anys.
"We cannot get Justice In the Southern
League." I
PRETTY GOOD MOVE.
From The Birmingham Ledger.
Percy Whiting has sounded-tho people of
Birmingham and Atlanta with regard to tho
•ehemo of pulling out of the Southern
League and going Into the South Atlantic.
The scheme will not probably be worked,
but It would l)e a pretty good move.
One of tbe Charleys down lu New Or
leans writes a long article atmut Whltlug’s
scheme to disrupt the Southern League. He
throw’s mud all over Birmingham and At*
f rata, and uses his usual muddy arguments,
le snys It would be well If Birmingham
nnd Atlnutn both got out. Well, If Birm
ingham nnd Atlantn get out of the South
ern League there would be two frog-eaters
In New Orleans out of a Job. Neither tusu
can do Anything else but write about base
ball. nnd there w’ould be uo baseball to
write about.
Seriously nows Percy, your scheme Is not
so very bad. A remedy Is needed. Atlanta
and Birmingham would greatly strengthen
I 1m* South Atlantic nnd get It In Class A.
Something has Jo he done nnd we will
have to stick together to get onr dues.
good thingTor LEAGUE.
From The Montgomery Advertiser.
The Atlanta newspapers yesterday made
a crack In regard to Atlanta ami Birming
ham pulling out of the Southern and go
ing Into the South Atlantic League next
season. Seriously, this wonld probably l*
the **ry l**st thing that could happen to
the Southern league.
With Mobile In tbe place of Atlanta and
Chattanooga-^e%en ChnUnongn—ln the
place of Birmingham, tbe Southern league
wonld t»e tin- easurably better off. A
change In the circuit is hardly a possi
bility next year, but If ft should come
It Is to t>e hoped that the Southern League
will be rid of Atlanta and Birmingham.
