THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN, THURSDAY, SEPTTAfBER 5, 1000.
BABB’S BURGLARS HAVE BEPARIEB
iSPORTS1
* Edited By PERCY H. WHITING *
TRAVELLERS HERE FOR A SERIES
TRAVELERS ALL READY
FOR THE LOCAL WIND-UP
The Traveler* have staggered In,
tired, battered, worn, disheartened and
suffering slightly from the double
overthrow at the hands of Dusty Mil
ler's Nashville bunch.
The team Is the same one from which
Atlanta took three out of four in Lit
tle Rock a couple of weeks ago and
ought to be easy picking*. Tail-end
ers 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, Jqlin-
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 beat.
Chief Zimmer brings with him the
news that “Dusty* Miller seems to bo
the temporary manager of the Nash
ville team. As far as can be learned
he seems to have acted since Finn’s
resignation was accepted.
Zimmer Is also strong in his belief
that Bob Gllks will not manage
Shreveport next year. He says that
he has heard that Ollk* Is to “go hlgh-
#r *Manager Smith Is still patiently
waiting for the appearance of Spade.
He has given up all Idea that Raymond
will report and says 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 season. 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 was pretty fair pickings, es
peclally 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 as the second game
of a double header.
This gives Atlanta nine to eleven
games remaining to be placed this sea-
now. And Just at thin writing Atlanta
Is tw’o games w’on 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 Trackers are the boys who can
do It. They are ball players right-
and then there Is that $1,000.
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 w’on the pennant. He
admitted that at the first of the season
he considered the Atlanta team the
best in the league and that he w’ould
not have been surprised to have seen
them take the pennant.
To which Billy Smith replied that If
Babb hod 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
place.
The rumor went the rounds Thursday
morning flint Chief Zlmmor had signed
Bernle McKay to finish out the Henson with
the Little Hock team. When nuked nliout
U Zimmer said: “Well, I don’t know. You
enn tell by the line-up when you get to the
pork,” and let It go at that.
AUTOS RACE AGAINST RECORD
FROM CHICAGO TO NEW YORK
By Private Leased Wire.
New York, Sept 6.—Two attempts are now being made at the "Wilt
■ o' the Wtep” of the automobile world—the New York and Chicago record
of 58 hour*. At the present writing, there le every prospect that one
of them will be eucce*eful.
One conteetant for the speed honor* 1* Hherbum M. Beeker. the boy
mayor of Milwaukee, who started from Ktfty-nfth street and Broadway
at midnight on Monday In a 60-horsc power Pope-Toledo car.
The other le a Franklin 8-cyllndcr car, which left Chicago at 2 p. m.
yeSt Mayor Beeker’e attempt probably will be unsuccessful, as he smashed
hie car near Newburg. N. Y.. and lost seven hour*.
The Franklin car Is the same that made the 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
10 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. NAUGHTON.
By Private Leased Wire.
Haa Frtocleco, Sept. 6.—Goldfield Is evi
dently dated with the auceeaa It had In
handling the Nelaon-Gans fight, and In
tends to become a bidder for other pugilis
tic events According to report, it haa bid
$30,000 for a match between Jimmy Britt
■ ml Joe Onna, to take place somewhere
around Christmas time.
As yet, Britt has not received sny offi
cial offer, nnd feels disinclined to discuss
the match. **
According to Willis Britt, who represents
Jimmy In affairs of this kind, the Goldfield
proposition will receive serious considera
tion when It comes along. Said Willis
last night to the writer:
“Jimmy told you before Gans nnd Nelson
root that he would »h* ready to meet
tho winner, and bis feelings have expert*
? eneed no change. To put It frankly, he
would have preferred Nelson to Bans.
; Now, mind yon, this Is not because he
I figures Nelson would he nn easier man to
: subdue than Gans.
“After wstriilnr Guns closely throughout
- the light st Goldfield, Jimmy thinks he
, can outbox the negro. It's the feellug en
gendered by the fight at Colma which
makes my brother long for s return hattlo
I with Nelson. On account of Nelson's slump
In prestige, we suppose a Nelson-Brltt
match Is out of the question at present,
and I hare no doubt that Jimmy will be
signed with Gans for his next contest.
•*I might say that It docs not follow,
of necessity, that Goldfield will be the
scene of the battle. The amateur exhibi
tions here a few night* ago showed that
i Sun Francisco Is ready for a big contest,
' and I have no doubt the fight trust will
bid In opposition to the mining camp If
there Is s prospect of bringing Britt and
Gans together."
Though Willis did hot sny *o, It Is In
hered that Jimmy Britt Is not particularly
anxious'to engage In a glove contest at
present, lie will embark In ft business en
terprise In 8nn Francisco, and inArawhlle
will turn hla Fillmore street flats Into cash.
If the story told on Fillmore street Is cor
rect, llrltt will realise about $12,000 profit
on the Investment of $30,000 ho made two
years ago.
As Goldfield ha* the pugilistic bee In Its
tMinnot, It will probably secure a ring at
traction for Christmas, If It loses the Britt-
Gans fight. The fact that It has chosen
a midwinter date proves that the lively
mining camp Is satisfied If It can get to
gether a big enough crowd to fill Its arena
without relying on visitors from points out
side tho Uoldflejd licit.

ATLANTA
OUR LAST LICK AT THE BABBLERS.
Crozier, Smith and Zeller
Combined to Win a Game
ATLANTA 3 MEMPHIS 2.
After spilling over In the morning game Wednesday, nnd taking a terrible beat
ing, tho Cracker* settled down In the afternoon nnd played first-class baseball.
As a result, they beat 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 the last eight
played by the two teams. '
“Doc” Childs was starred ns the pitcher, but he didn’t last long. He.
weakened In the third; and, In the fourth, nfter allowing Jimmy Smith to fly out'
to Archer, he gave Owens a single nud thou walked Stoekdnle nnd Thiel. Babb,
the next man up, hit a fielders’ choice, nnd Owaus died at the plate, but Childs’
error of Carter's grounder allowed Stoekdnle to tally, and when Nlcholl* walked,
Thiel scored. Then Billy Smith threw the switch, nnd Childs took the siding, and
Htibe Zeller got the niuln track.
And Rube “went some” from then to the finish'. lie retired the next man np
nnd throughout the rest of the gntne ntlowed no bits nnd only one base ou balls.
Ills side-arm nnd under hand deliveries were W’orklug to perfection, and ho made
the Babbler batters look like jokes.
While Rube was holding the game safe, Croxler nnd Sid Smith were winning It.
In the fourth, Croxler's single nnd Sid's double scored one run, nnd In the sixth
Crosier's double and Sid's single resulted In another run. Then Morse singled,
aud Smith scored with the wlnulng run.
Aside from Childs' “boot,” the gntue was played In errorless fashion. A cou
ple of nenr-errors were made, but, on the whole, the game was u flue article of
ball.
Stoekdnle pitched well for Memphis nud If thp “Gray Fox” had had Croxler
nnd Smith as badly fooled ns he had the rest of the team. It would have been a
cinch for Otis. As It was, he pitched n good, steady gntue.

FOR OTTO’S KftOCK
Augusta, Gn., Hept. 6.—In speaking of the
recent remarks of Otto Jorda'u In regard to
Nap Rucker, the Georgia sunflower yester
day had the following to say:
"I can't believe that Otto sabl those
things.” said the big Alpharetta l»oy, with
genuine tears In his eyes. “Jordan Is one
of the finest fellows that I know. I admire
him more than any baseball player I've
ever met, and I think lie's true blue all the
way through. The Marietta paper bad It all
wrong. Jordan treated uie like n prince
while he was manager of the Atlanta team,
am! the reason why he let me go was !k»-
cause I was not fast enough for Southern
League company. He did exactly what any
other good baseball manager would have
done.
"But. Just the same, I can’t help but feel
hurt because of what he sabl.”

Biverdnle, Gn., Sept. 6.—In the best
gajne seen on the Rlverdnle diamond this
season, the crack Mnddox-Kucker Banking
Company's team defeated the Clayton
County Cousins here today.
The game abounded In sensational field
ing. The catches by Wlthnni nnd Grady
Iltile In the outfield were easily the fea
tures. For'the Infield, the work of Wil
liams, Lockhart and Blley, of the Mnddox-
Ruckers, has not (wen equaled here be
fore this season. McConnell, the crack
shortstop for Biverdnle, nlso starred.
The pitching of Green was superb. He
hnd the heavy hitting Couslus complete
ly nt his mercy. Time nfter time, when
n hit would have resulted In runs, ho
w’ouhl mow them down lu one-two-three
order. Trayls, of Biverdnle, also pitched
masterly bnll, excepting oue or two In
nings, when his wildness cost him the
game.
The receiving of both catchers was
strong nud steady, only one man stealing
a base ou Smith of Muddox-Ilncker.
The chief cause for Illverdnle’s down
fall W’its the excellent baserunning of the
visiting team.
Watermelons and cold cider wns the
treat enjoyed by both teams nt the close
of the game, and the rinds went Maddox-
Rucker's way ns they pulled out.

went out, but there was no game. A
