THREE OF THE MOST FEROCIOUS PIRATES
ATLANTA TEAM IS MAKING
GREATEST ROAD RECORD
IN HISTORY OF THE LEAGUE
The Atlanta dub Just now Is making the greatest road record In the history of
the Southern League. Since loavlug Atlanta one week ago from last Saturday the
Crackers have played ten games.
Of the ten, eight have l»een victories.
The two that were lost, one to Memphis nnd one to Little Rock, each went
the other way by a margin of one run. The flrst game on the trip was dropped to
Memphis by the score of 4 to 3. Sparks, who was pitching against Ltehhardt. bar-
lug one had Inning. The other defeat was the Anal contest nt Little Rock Satur
day, In which Doe Childs got the small end of n 1 to 0 battle.
Cau that record be beaten?
It was, and Is n crippled team, too.
As to why Atlanta has been winning—
Superb pitching, backed by heavy nnd sequential hitting, has turned the trick
In the ten games, Atlanta lias made eighty-eight hits, an average of 8.8 nor
game.
Opponents have made fifty-four, nn average of 6.4 per game.
Atlanta's team batting average for the trip, .268.
Opponents* team balling average, .176.
Atlanta has stolen two bnses to every one by opponents.
And the fielding has been on a parity.
Hughes, Harley nnd Zeller have won all the games they have pitched, two each.
Childs and Sparks have each won one and lost one.

If the fans will kindly stop asking us
who Is III charge of the local club, we
will consider It a great fnvor. We would
be glad to answer the question, but to tell
the truth, we absolutely do not know and
do not think any one hereabouts can en
lighten you on the subject. There Is a
president, manager, Imard of directors,
executive committee, and a whole hunch
of directors. All these have a any, nnd
—by the way—you should attend one of
the meetings. Talk about the "Kind Words
(Tub"—It's not In It with the Nashville
Baseball Company.—Nashville American. *
Poor old Nashville.
Harley was In good form and let the
local squad down with four hits. Only
In one Inning did the Pirates bunch swats.
—Hhreveport Times.
llnpp, the young catcher whom Frank
took from Shreveport some time back,
caught his first game yesterday. Rapp
handled himself pretty well, uithough he
did not get much chance In throwing down
to second, Iwcause Nashville did not at*
tempt to steal.—New Orleans Picayune.

thnt he would pitch this nfternoon’s game.
He Is anxious to win the long end of
the aerie* during Gllks* absence.—Hbrevfc*

Mike Finn Is credited with saying thnt
the Castro deal was made over his head.
The day* of Auannlas have returned. It
Is positively known thnt Finn was pres
ent when all negotiations were being car*
rled on.—Birmingham News.
Money, money, money! Where have we
heard the word before? Oh, yes! It was
discussed at n meeting of the stockholders
a few dnys ago. The local company Is a
regular Bank of England when It conies
to talking.—Nashville American.
Mike Mowery looked mighty good to the
thousands who filled every Inch of seating
space for the double-header Hnndny nt
l.enguc park, and his debut nt the bat was
auspicious. In response to the great burst
of applause thnt greeted him, he jKiked a
single through the (ilauts* Infield, scoring
the Beds* first two runs. He also made
another hlugle liefore the first game ended,
nud though he didn't get n hit In next
gnme. It was his long fly that scored the
Beds' winning mu In the second gnme.
Afield he didn't have much to do, but he
did all he bad a chance to.—Cincinnati
Post.
The two former Atlantans with Ht. Louis
clubs. Ben Koehler with the Americans
and Pug Bennett with the Nntlounls, are
playing excellent hnschull. Koehler Is con
shlered the greatest ground eoverer among
American League outfielders, nud Is now
hitting .'.’47. Bennett Is playing a steady
gnme at second base, hitting .268.
Hid Smith nud Ginger Winters maintain
their heavy hitting. Otto Jordan Is also
mauling the bull a few.
"Itube" Zeller will work for the Ad*
vertlscrs. He Is regarded one of the stars
of the league and n ml Vup between he
nnd Fisher should certainly result In a
cracking good gnme.—Shreveport Times.
Some fan* In the city were heard to say
something like this when the team lost the
first gnine played on the road: "By the
time Atlanta returns home she will be run
ning neck nud neck with Little Rock for
the cellar championship.”
Rube Zeltnr had the Pirates at his mercy
all during the game with his nnderhnnd
linll. Bed Fisher looked like all the rest to
Billy's Warriors.
In the second after two men were out
Otto Jordan hit to deep center for three
bases. But Archer could not get next to
Bed’s curves and fanned.
Atlanta had eight hits. Winters and 8.
Sinllh each got two.
Just one hour and eighteen mlnutea was

CYCLE RACES
POSTPONED
The bicycle races that were to have been
u part of the day’s amusements of the La
bor Day program nt Piedmont park hare
been called off. The Federation of Trades,
after deciding to go to Piedmont park, later
changed to Ponce DeLeon. As there Is not
a place suitable at Ponce DeLeon to run
racca nnd the Piedmont track had been let
to other parties, Gus Castle decided to hold
them nt some Inter date, perhaps on
Thanksgiving Day.
The medals nnd prizes had already been
arranged for, hut Mr. Castle says he dbl
not receive any notice of the change until
too late to countermand the orders for thu
prizes. Having these on his hands, he bH«
derided to have the race* Inter on.
The medals are the regular’X. C. A. offi
cial medals, and are very hnndsome, being
gold, silver nnd bronze for flrst, second nnd
thlnl places In each of the three events,
the onc-mlte championship, five-mile motor-
pneet* championship, and flve-mlle motor-
.cycle race.
GRIFFITH GETS
GOOD PITCHER
It looks ns If Clark Griffith has landed
one of the "finds" of the season In Joe
Doyle, the young twirler lie bought from
the Wheeling club for $2,500.
Doyle dunned n uniform Saturday morn
ing and tossed up some of his fast and
slow curves to Griffith. After Doyle had
dealt out his .assortment of benders Griffith
sold:
"Thnt will do, Imyle. Be at the grouuds
at l o’clock nnd get on n uniform."
Doyle wanned up well, nnd when he bell
rang he walked out on the diamond, cheered
on by some 12,600 fans. For the flrst two
Innings be wns rather nervous, and Klelnow
nud Klbcrfeld had to keep talking to him
to steady him. After thnt he settled down,
accomplishing the remarkable fegt of strik
Ing out Larry l*n|olc.
Doyle has everything thnt a pitcher needs
to be n successful twirler. He has plenty
of speed, good control, nnd a great drop
Imll ami a high Inshoot, which batters
usually go after. He mixes his curves up
ery well. For a pitcher he swings well
t a ball. On his showfug of Katurday be
ought to develop Into a great pitcher.
Only six games separate Griffith's crowd
from flrst place, nnd there la still a chance
of overtaking Comlskey’s White Sox.—New
York Sun.
By PERCY WHITING..
Special Correspondence.
Little Bock, Aug. 28.—"On to New Or
leans!" That Is the cry In the local camp
right now.
The boys are going down, to the Crescent
City with u determination to win If It takes
the very life thnt Is In them. Not a man on
the team hut has a score to settle with
Charley Frank nnd his cohorts, nnd they
nre going to settle them If It Is within the
limits of possibility.
“I’d be willing to lose every other gnme
this season If we could bent Charley Frank
out of all those games In New Orleans."'
was Otto Jordan's sentiment. And '"Cap’ll"
can lw» depended on to work to the limit to
square his acocunt with "That Dutchman."
Every time Otto sees a patrol wagon these
days he grits his teeth and curse's New Or
leans.
The IVIIenns In their own nest have not
been such terrible bird* this season, nnd
the players nre of the opinion thnt. If all
goes well, the Crackers will take the scries
In New Orleans. They are going down after
It, nt nny rate.
The team will have a day to rest up be
fore their flrst battle with "the birds."

fine work of the pitchers. Every one of

Goldfield, N«r„ Aug. 29.—The dlroctfra
of the athletic club had a very stormy
meeting last night, the terms lnq>osed
upon Gans In the matter of welghlng-lii
of Gans lielng the cause of the turmoil.
Billy Nolan wns there by Invitation, nnd
Gans was brought from his training quar
ters In an automobile.
Nolnu said thnt he would Insist thnt Gans
weigh In In ring costume, according to
championship rule*. The club memliers re
minded Nolan that when the articles of
agreement were being drawn up, It was
decided thnt screens should lie placed In the
ring, behind which the fighters might
weigh, and It was clearly understood then
thnt the men were to weigh In a nude
state If they desired. Nolan said he had
not understood It that way, but the club
directors, to a man, said thnt such wns
their understanding In the matter. Nolan
remained obdurate, and nt one stage of
the conference, Giyis sold:
"If I wns n white man I'd lick you."
Nolan replied:
"Don't ever think of trying anything like
that."
Tho meeting lasted nearly four hours,
hut no Impression was made upon Nolun,
who said:
"We will forfeit $5,000 nnd withdraw
from the tight before we will give In."
Filially Gans agreed to adopt a very light
ring costume, to-wlt: A pair of fighting
•hoes and nn abbreviated breech clout.
Nolan said:
“Thnt Is satisfactory to me," though
Just whnt difference the style of Gans*
costume mnde to Nolan; no long as Gnu*
fought In It la not very dear. The gist
of the whole business Is that Nolan car
ried his point. Gnns must weigh In at tbs
ringside In fighting army.
George Hller had a talk with Gans snd
Nnlajt relative to certain clauses In the
articles. Clause 4 any*:
"Orders by referee to break must lie by
word of mouth."
Clause 6 rends:
"After n fighter ha* knocked down bis
opponent be must retire to his rorner."
Hller held thnt there were times when
a vertstl order to brenk was Insufficient.
He said thnt oue itiun might l»e dazed,
nnd clinging to the other dc*|»erstely. lu
such cases, It wns for the referee to part
the men. He held further that there wns
no necessity for a man to walk all thu
way to his corner after knocking down
his opponent. To step back a couple of
pare* would be sufficient. Both Nelson
nnd Gnns told Hller thnt they would abide
by his ruling In the matters referred to,
hut It Is prolmhle thnt a more thorough
understanding will Im: had before the fight
day comes around.
