CRACKERS BACK
HOME AGAIN
Tired and sore and crippled’hut game to
the core, tbt Crackers bare Umped home
from Nashville, and Monday afternoon they
open up for tbo 6rst of a series of three
games with the ftarons.
After the Olrmiughnm series Manager Mat
laney brings over his bunch of pickles for
a three days' engagement. An extra game
is owed to Montgomery In Atlanta, and the
debt will be paid on Thursday by a double-
header.
Manager Hmlth wns cheerful and resigned
Monday morning, and answered questions
as usual, briefly and to the point.
When asked as to the rqmor that Wal
lace had been released, be said: "No, 1
■till have Wallace. I tried to trade him for
Gilbert, but Mike Finn could hot see It. IU'
stead, he sold Gilbert to Little Rock."
Considering that Finn Is going to man
age Little Itock next year, that looks Ilka
a pretty foxy more.
It la nil settlcil, I guess, that Finn will
go to Little Rock. Nashville does not want
him again, it Is said, and Little Rock does.
(Right at this |>olnt it may be mentioned
that Manager Hmlth overlooked the fat
chance thnt there will be no Little Rock
In the Southern League next year.)
The attendance Saturday was under 400,'
continued Manager Hilly, "so you can aee
what a pass l»asehaU has come to there. *
“There Is no use to kick, but It Is awf«il
luck we have. Look at New Orleans. They
go through the season without changing a
man.
•We hod a good chance for the pennant
before Fox nnd Jordan went out. I
thought wo were going right up. Hut thou
they got hurt. Jordan played In a lot of
— —hape he
couldn t throw. * *'—
I t»e able to a
Fox ta still In \
... the game for a
hint to try it, but the
not to. •
“If we had had Fox and Jordan we wonld
have beaten Birmingham three out of four
games there easy. We nearly bent them
They are playing food ball and having
good luck. They will take a lot of Iwntlng.
All their men are In good condition." *
Outside of Fox nnd Jordan the memlters
of the Atlanta team are In good condition.
'te of the fnqt thnt the team la
by the nbscnce of these men.
■ are expected against Illrmtug-
. . Hilly Hmlth is more than anxious to
get at least two ont of three and his crip
ples will put up a good flglu for the
games.
Anybody with a half pint of sens* known
that Hilly Smith nnd his men never have
and never will throw any games to Birm
ingham or any other team. The report
that they did Is the veriest rot. Undoubt
edly the local team, like the local fans.
CHATTANOOGA 8TILL HOPE8
TO GET BACK IN LEAGUE
The Chattanooga Times cornea out
Monday with a sensible article In re
gard to the possibility that Chattanoo
ga may be given a place In the South
ern League next season.
Instead of talking nt^mt the certain
ty that the Southern League would
have to come around on Its hands and
kneea and ask Chattanooga to come
back, It deals in a reasonable way
In part ths article follows:
Just at present the , Southern
League la having more troubles than
It knows what to do with. In the first
place, Atlanta und Birmingham are
making a strenuous fight on Charley
Frank and accusing President W. M.
Kavanaugh of acting In all cases in
the Interests of the New Orleans
mogul.
"However, the most Important thing
to' Chattanoogans Is that the league
seems to have discovered that It con
not get along with- two villages like
Shreveport and Little Rock on the cir
cuit. lit has been suggested In years
gone by that the league made a mis
take In excluding Chattanooga, but va
rious and sundry people thought other
wise.
"Chattanooga was outrageously treat
ed when this city was dropped by the
league. Chattanooga had stood by the
league In the St. Train muddle against
Charley Frank nnd because this city
upheld the officers of the league Kav
anaugh and Charloy Frank got togeth
er and dropped Chattanooga. Just how
It was done, the public does not know.
There have been rumors that one of
the stockholders In the local assocla- '
tlon was In the deal that left this city
out In the cold so far ns baseball Is
concerned. Whether this 1s true or
not, doesn't amount to anything now.
"It remain* as a fact that today
hattanooga Is not In the Southern
league because Chattanooga was hon
est. Last year when the Shreveport
team sought refuge In this city, during
the yellow fever, Chattanooga’s paid
attendance averaged 4>ne thousand.

e
CARTOONIST TAD HERE DEPICTS GRIFFITH IN MINOR LEAGUE ORCHARD FOR A FEW RIPE ONES.
The 1906 Pennant Goes Up Wrong Pole,
But Anyway Let 1 s Be Cheerful About It
Frldsy a man called up the office, asked
tor tbe npor*lng editor, and when bo got
him remarked that he wanted the said
sporting editor to write an article, urging
the Atlanta Baseball Association to buy
some more pitchers nnd to go out after the
pennant. He sold that one of the other af
ternoon papers had promised to hand out a
little package along the same line, and
thnt the combination might do some good.
The man who made the suggestion was a
fan of the best type, a man who enjoys
baseball for Its own sake nnd who supports
the team alike In storm and calm.
But this time, at least so ws think, he
wss wrong.
In the first place. It happens to be too
late.
The working of a miracle alone can give
Atlauta the pennant. Memphis pulled out
of a deeper hole In 1904 and won the mg.
But It took a miracle, nnd such events do
not, as a rule, come so near together.
may as well make up our mind to It—
Atlanta ta about out of the pennant race
for this year. The sooner we harden our
selves to a realisation of .this the less It Is
going to hurt when the finish comes.
In sddltlon to being too late now, It has
been too Into for some time.
It sounds perfectly logical nnd reasonable
to say "If they hnd wnnted to go out and
buy plnye’r* they could hare got them."
But this happens to be wrong Hall plov
ers can’t Ik* ctatced along with sugar, neck
tie*. cotton, cloth, cheese, nails nnd the
other staples. You enu’t write to some
johtier and order:, One first-class pitcher,
capable of winning seven out of eight
games, not to cost over 5225 n month
One good outfielder, mut be .300 hitter nnd
fast on the bases, nt 3200 a month
You can give snch an order, but it can’t
bo filled.
If McGrnw could only spare us Mathew-
>n. or Connie Mack would kindly loan us
Waddell, or If we could cop Willie Keeler
Hal Chase or a few such probably we
could win out yet.
But money will not buy ball players at
this stage of the gailfb.
It sertns to lie the customary belief among
local fans thnt they are the only ones who
hnp|N*n to I»o Interested In winning a peu-
iinut—thnt eoppltig the rag ta n matter of
no moment In any other place In the coun
try tientiles Atlanta. There hnp|*ent to Ik-
one or two hundred other teams looking
for pennants, however, nud most of them
nre wtlllpg t<» spend money to get the rags,
hut unwilling to give up players at any
price. *
The local association has spent money—
lots of It. The barkers of the club tried
In every lcaltlmnte way to win the pen
nant. Unfortunately there wen* five other
teams In tin* league trying Just ns bard to
win It and .all of them were willing t*»
spend Just as much money ft* get It.
In passing. It may be mentioned that
there 1s nt least one other way that base
I.nil team* differ from cheese, nnlta and the
other staples. And thnt Is that. In tin*
Kouthorn League at least, managers are
restrained from paying more than a certain !
price for their team*. It Is not a question
of going out and buying up every player
In sight, as long as the money hold* out. It
Is the question off getting as good n team
as iMMMltile n* near the I2.7UQ salary limit
ns possible fitd then of hating the luck to
win with that team.
the other fans of the city to do a lot of
vhontlng nt the last two or three games
nnd to contribute a small sum for the
wind-up lieneflt game. Also It gave him a
chance to blow about It a bit during the
following winter. •
And thnt was nbout nl!.
When you get down to It the pleasure of
baseball ought to lie In watching two well-
b/tinneed (cams play a nice game of ball.
Of course It Is pleasanter If the home team
wins, but nt best It Is only one way of kill
ing n couple of hours In a warm afternoon.
And, nnywny (though we don't claim any
originality for this question), wlnit will
It matter a hundred years hence?

WILLIAMS THE WINNER.
By rrlvato Leased Wire.
Goldfield. Nebr., Aug., 13.-Wb!!e Gold
field wns wide open Sunday, nnd everything
went on Just the same ns on imy olheV
day of the week, work was not quite ao
strenuous, and there was more talk about
(he Nelson-Gnus fight, nnd the niuu who
are going to do It.
The records of the two men occupy a con
spicuous place upon tho bulletin boards of
the lending aportlng saloons In town, nnd
the fact that Joe Gans has been n winner
In a larger percentage of hla contents than
hns Nelson In his hns a tendency to make
him more of n favorite In the talk, but
It Is no more than plain truth to say that
the sports nre afraid of Game They talk
alwuit fakes, and the black rfighter will
have to put up n great fight to make him
self solid.
Impartial Judges think l»oth men nre In
pretty good condition now, nnd thnt three
weeks' time ta ample to put them on edge.
Both men have trained In high altitudes,
and have no fear of trouble In the light,
dry atmosphere of the desert region.
It Is believed that there will be no dif
ficulty In handling the crowds.* Goldfield
Ih more than twice as targe as Carson
City was when the fight l*etween Cor
bett nnd Fitzsimmons occurred nt the tat
ter place. Three trains run between the
camps dally, nud what Goldfield can not the content,
handle. Touopnw cnn.
The fight will take place In the open.
and the weather will ihake It a hot one.
If nothing else does. The promoters hnd
nn Idea of erecting a canvas no ns to
throw n shndqw* over the arena, but when
they found thnt It would Interfere with
the moving pictures It wns cut out.
Invitations were wlr«d to John L. Sulli
van, James J. Corbett, James J. Jeffries
nnd Billy Cordnn, of Hnn Francisco, to bo
the gnents of the Goldfield club, which will
pay their car fare and all their expenses
during their stay.
"I have fought In Hutto nnd Halt Lake
and other places thnt nre almost ns high
a* Goldfield, and I have never hnd the least
trouble In getting In condition," snld Neb
son, In discussing the training outlook. "Ho
far, 1 have not felt the least bit of dif
ference in my breathing npysratus. nnd on
account of the former experience In high
places, I know that I will not be liothered
at all. I am anxious to begin w*ork. nnd
will Jnmp right Into the ropes just ns
soon as I can moke satisfactory arrange
ments."
Arrangements nre under way to secure
George Gardner, who Is now In Chicago, to
come out nnd help In conditioning the
Dane.
Jack Clifford, who Is now* In Gotdflebl,
will ntao be ta the Dane's camp, nnd will
spar with him dally betweeu now nnd.
It has lie*>ii pointed out a thousand ttm»*3«
In a tin visa nd cities that the backer* of the
home tenuis always want to win the peu-
nants. Aud this Is especially true of At-1
tantn. The theory that, If a penhant win- {
uer ta given a town one year It must !«•!
followed by another good team. 1s true. 1
But It hn» been the policy of the local os- 1
with Chattanooga money. To display so**I*tlon at all times to ghe Atlanta n
Shreveport was pulled out of debt
with Chattanooga money. To display
hi* gratitude, a ticket agent by name j team. The city supports one,
of Erlich, whoae cart! proclaimed him j titled to one, and has the l»eft one that.
as business manager of the team, went! money can buy. Thnt It ha* hnn! luck I*
around the circuit telling that the at- no fault of the management or the owners
tendance In Chattanoiiga was wretched, 1 of the dub.
