THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 1900. SPORTS Edited By PERCY H. WHITING TRAVELERS ALL READY FOR THE LOCAL WIND-UP The Traveler* have etaffgered In. tired, battered, worn, disheartened and aufterins (lightly from the double overthrow at the hands of Dusty Mil ler's Nashville bunch. The team Is the same ono from which Atlanta took three out of four In Lit tle Rock a couple of weeks atco and ought to be easy pickings. Tail-end- era are usually easy and this bunch Is pretty well discouraged. If It were not for the presence of such never-say-dle ball players as Douglass, Brady, John son—and perhaps White—the team would be nowhere at all and easy for every team in the league. But now and then these men get together and when they do they are a hard bunch to treat. Chief Zimmer brings with him the news that "Dusty" Miller seems to be the temporary manager of the Nash ville team. As far as can be learned he seem* to have acted since Finn's resignation was accepted. Zimmer Is also strong In hi* belief that Bob Qllks will not manage Shreveport next year. He says that he has heard that Ollks la to "go high*- "'Manager Smith la still patiently waiting for the appearance of Spade. He has given' up all Idea that Raymond will report and say* that he Is not particularly sorry. He hopes to have Spade, however, now that "Doc" Childs has been suspended for the re mainder of the Keaton. Doc was una ble to get In condition and will be on the bench without pay for the rest of the year. . . The race for second place Is now on In earnest. Two out of four from Memphis wa* pretty fair pickings, es pecially considering what Atlanta was up against. Now comes Little Rock for three, then Shreveport for three—and maybe four—and New Orleans for three regular games and probably a fourth worked In ns the second game of a double header. This gives Atlantn nine to eleven games remaining to be played this sea son. And Just at this writing Atlanta Is two games won and three lost be hind Memphis, which team Is In sec ond place. It Is going to take fast work to cut down the Burglars' lead of .021 points, but the Crackers are the boys who can do It. They are ball players right— and then there Is that 11,000. Charley Babb paid the Atlanta team a nice compliment when he said that, If they had not had a lot of hard' luck they would have won the pennant. He admitted that at the drat of the season he considered the Atlanta team the beat In the league and that he would not have been surprised to have seen them take the pennant. To which Billy Smith replied that If Babb had had the team all the season that he has right now he would have won the pennant himself. So there It stands. Just now the fight Is on between the two for second place. Of course New Orleans stands between them now, but at the way the Pelicans have been hitting of late they will finish the season In about fourth plare. Thp rumor wont tho rounds Thursday morning that Cblof Zimmer had signed Hondo McKay to Hnlah out the season with tho Little ltook team. When asked alsmt It Zimmer said: "Well, I don't know. You can tell hy the line-up when you get to the park," and let It go at that. AUTOS RACE AGAINST RECORD FROM CHICAGO TO NEW YORK By Private Leased Wire. i New York, Sept. Two attempts are how being made at the "Will o’ the Wisp” of the automobile world—the New York and Chicago record of 58 hours. At the present writing, there Is every prospect that one of them will be successful. One contestant for the speed honors Is Sherbum M. Becker, the boy mayor of Milwaukee, who started from Fifty-fifth street nnd Broadway at midnight on Monday In a 60-horse power P*P*-ToImo car. The other Is a Franklin 6-cylinder car, which left Chicago at 2 p. m. ye,t Mayrir Becker's attempt probably will be unsuccessful, ns he smashed his car near Newburg, N. Y„ and lost seven hours. The Franklin car Is the same that made tho trans-continental record of fifteen days, two hour* and twelve minutes from San Francisco to this city a few weeks ago. It arrived in South Bend, Ind., a distance of 80 miles, In three hours, and when last heard from was considerably ahead of the old record. GOLDFIELD WILL TRY TO MATCH GANS AND BRITT By W. W. NAUOHTON. By Private Leased Wire. Hitu Francisco, 8ept. 6.—Goldfield Is evi dently elated with the success It bnd In handling the Nelnon-Gaus fight, snd In tends to ltecome n bidder for other pugilis tic events. According to report, It hss bid JIO.OOO for s mntch tatween Jimmy Britt nnd Joe dims, to tske piece somewhere around Chrtstmss time. As yet, Ilrltt bus not received nny offi cial offer, and feels disinclined to discuss the match. According to WIlUs Ilrltt, who represents Jimmy In affairs of this kind, the Goldfield proposition will receive serious considera tion wheu It comes along. Bald Willis Inst night to the writer: “Jimmy told you tafore Gnns nnd Nelson met that he would he ready to meet the winner, and bis feelings have experi enced no change. To put It frankly, he would have preferred Nelson to Gnns. Now, mind you, this Is not liecnnse ,he figures Nelson would ta nn easier mnu to subdue than Gnns. “After watching Gnns closely throughout the fight nt Goldfield, Jlinmy thinks he ran outbox the negro. It's the finding en gendered by the fight nt Gulina which makes my brother long for a return battle with Nelson. On account of Nelson's slump In prestige, we suppose n Nelson-Brttt match is out of the question nt present, and 1 have no doubt that Jimmy will he frlgned with Gnns for his next contest. *‘I might any thnt It does not follow, of necessity, that Goldfield will be the scese of tha battle. The amateur exhtht- Gons here a few nights ft go showed thnt Ran Francisco is rendy for n big contest, nnd I have no doubt the fight trust will Md In opposition to the mining comp If there Is n prospect of bringing Brl(t nnd Gnns together.” Though Willis did not say so. It Is ta- llevod thnt Jlminy Britt Is not particularly anxious to engage In n glove contest nt present. He will eiftbnrk In n business en terprise In Hnn Francisco, nnd menu while will turn Ills Fillmore street flnts Into ensh. If the story told on Fillmore street Is cor rect, Ilrltt will realise about $12,000 profit ou tb« Investment of $30,000 be made two years ago. As Goldfield hns the pugilistic bee In Its bonnet. It will probably seeure a ring at traction for Uhrlstnin*, If It loses tho Ilrltt• Guns fight. The fnct thnt It hns chosen n midwinter dnte proves thnt the lively mining enmp Is satisfied If It can get to gether a Idg enough crowd to fill Its nrenn without relying on visitors from points out side tho Goldflejd belt. 00000000000000000000000000 O o O NELSON HAS BEEN IN O O PRECARIOU8 CONDITION.

ATLANTA' OUR LAST LICK AT THE BABBLERS. Crozier, Smith and Zeller Combined to Win a Game ATLANTA 3 MEMPHIS 2. After apllllng over In the morning game Wedneadny, nnd taking n terrible beat ing, the Crackers nettled down In the afternoon and played flrat-clnns baseball. As n result, they bent Memphis, 3 to 2. This gave Atlanta two games out of the four played by Babb’s Burglars on this trip and five out of tbe last eight played by the two tennis. "I)oc“ Childs was starred ns the pitcher, hut he didn’t Inst long. He wenkened In the third; nnd, In the fourth, nfter allowing .Timmy Smith to fly out to Archer, ho gave Owens n single and then walked Htockdnle and Thiel. Babb, the next man up, hit n fielders* choice, nnd Owens died nt the plate, hut Childs’ error of Carter’s grounder allowed Htockdale to tally, nnd when Nlcholls walked,' Thiel scored. Then Billy Hmlth threw the switch, nnd Childs took the sldlug, and Huta Zeller got tbe main track. And Iluhe “went some" from then to the finish. He reilred the next mnn up nnd throughout the rest of the game allowed no hits nnd only ope base ou balls. Ills side-arm and under-hand deliveries were working to perfection, and he made the Babbler batters look like Jokes. While Hube was bolding the game safe, Croxler nnd Sid Smith were winning It. In tho fourth. Crosier’s single nml HId’s double scored one run, nnd In the sixth Crosier's double nnd Aid’s single resulted lu another run.' Then Morse singled, and Hmlth scored with the winning run. Aside from Childs’ "boot,” the game was played Iii errorless fashion. A cou ple of near-errors were ninde, but, on the whole, the game u*us a fine article of ball. Htockdnle pitched well for Memphis nml If the "Gray Fox" bnd hnd Crosier and Hmlth ns badly fooled os he hnd the rest of the tenm, It would have been a cinch for Otis.

"Jordan Is one of the finest fellow’s that I know. 1 admire him more thnii nny tasctall player I’ve ever met. and I think he's true blue nil the way through. The Marietta paper hnd If nil wrong. Jordan treated me like n prince while he was manager of the Atlanta team, nnd the ran son why he let me go was be cause I was uot fast enough for fkmtheni tangue company. He did exactly what nny other good baseball manager would have done. "But. Just the same. I can’t help hut feel hurt because of what he said.” THORNTON WINS AGAIN. Cincinnati. Ohio.

Yesterday he de feated Ids old rival, Cowan ttodgers. of Knoxville, In easy style. The acore was 6-1, 6-4. NIFTY NOTES ON A WELCOME WIN pitched a lietter game *sdny afternoon. He hn«r little chance to warm up. lint It was evi dently "his day," and he hnd anything any pitcher ever had. Croxler made two of the runs, two of the bits and he made a most brilliant stop of one fly he fielded. That single of Morse’s came near being nu out. Thiel made a long run for it and almost scooped It. In fact he did have bis hands 4iu It. but dropped It. The scor er* considered It an impossible chance aud let It go as a hit. Woodward nnd McMillan, the two ex-Tech baseball players who have been with Baton Bongo most of this season, witnessed the game from the pro** liox.

Special to The Georgian. lUverdnle, tin., Hept. 6.—In the best game seen on the IUverdalb diamond this season, the crack Mnddox-Bucker Banking Company’s tenm defeated the Clayton County Cousins here today.* The game abounded In sensational field ing. The catches by Wlthnm nnd Grady Ilnle In the outfield were easily the fea tures. For the Infield, the work of Wil liams, Lockhart and Riley, of the Maddox- Uuekera, has not taen equaled here ta- fore this sensou. McConnell, the crack shortstop for Rlverdnle, also starred. . The pitching of Green was superb. * He had the heavy hitting Cousins complete ly at hls mercy. Time nfter time, when a hit would have resulted in runs, he would mow them down In one-two-tbree order. Travis, of Ulverdnle, also pitched masterly Imll, excepting oiie or two In nings, when his wildness cost him the game. The receiving of tath catchers was strong and steady, only one man stealing a base on Hmlth of Mnddox-Bucker.. The chief cause for Blverdale’s down fall wrt* the excellent husertmulng of the visiting team. Watermelons nnd cold elder was the treat enjoyed by tath teams at the close of the game, nnd the rinds went Maddox- Uiicker’s way ms they pulled out.
