THE ATLANTA GEOliOLAN, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER <©> sSW> j qp LEAGUE RACE WILL END SATURDAY SPORTS l„ ppprv u wt-jm\ T r. THEN CLEAR TRACK FOR FOOTBALL 1 ~T~ 1 I I 1 CRACKERS STILL FIGHTING TO GET IN SECOND PLACE It looks like third place for Atlanta. But at that, aecond 1« amoni the re. mote possibilities. To land second Atlanta will have to win say * of the 8 games to be played this week, while Memphis must lose five out of the seven she Is due to play. The former proposition Is a cinch, but the latter Is not so easy. Atlanta ought to win the six out of eight all right, but It 1s doubtful If Memphis will lose five out of seven. If Atlanta gets running In good order and takes all eight games this week then she has a better chance, of course. For If the Crackers make a clean sweep and Memphis wins only four out of the seven, Atlanta would finish In second place. So there Is a chance, even though It Is pretty remote. The Shreveport team arrived this GOOD SCORES FORJEVERETT BROKE 134 TARGET8 OUT OF 150 AND SHOT WELL IN EV ERY EVENT.

On Tuesday a double-header will be played with the Pirates. John Fox, the pltchef who waa pretty badly bumped Saturday, when he made his debut, will be given another trial. “Fox waa not In good condition for that game," says Manager Smith. “He had not had a ball In hit* hands for about a week and waa In no shape to pitch. I think I will try him again agalnat Bhreveport.” Spade la not expected to report thla season. The Sally Leaguer la In bad condition and will not show up. SOUTHERN FOOTBALL TEAMS WILL REPORT THIS WEEK This is “reporting week” for most of the college football tenuis lu the South, aud by next Monday moat of the big teams will \hs' hard at work.

The practice during the first week or two will l»e of the lightest character, ow ing fo the extreme heat and the fact that the candidates for positions on the team are mostly soft and In need of something which will harden their muscles to stand the rough work of regular practice.

Sept. 10.—The pugilists In the United States navy are evidently stirred up by the challenge printed re cently from "Rollins, the champion of the navy." E. M. McCook, boiler maker at the United States navy yard, Brooklyn, thinks he has It on Rollins nnd wunts to fight him for 11,000. McCook Is quite a formidable speci men of manhood.

The big event of the present week will be the opening of the new course at East hake—a course which prom ises to be far and away the best In the South. This event takes place Satur day and local golfers will have a couple of days to get used to the new round before the qualifying round for the Trawick cup Is played. The annual Trawick tournament Is the star event In the local golf world. The cup offered this season Is an un usually handsome one, and the cbm- petltion for it Is likely to be decidedly keen., w. P. Hill and F. O. Byrd are regarded as the most dangerous candi dates, though several other players stand a fair show. For the second cup the race is likely to be decidedly open, and In the third night—-the duffers' division—It would be a brave man who would try to pick the winner, even after the qualifying round was finished. The new course promises to be In fairly good condition by opening day. F. Q. Byrd, chairman of the golf com mittee, and Superintendent Pickering have been rushing the work with a large force of men. nnd already the holes on the far side of the lake are In fairly good condition. On opening day all of the regular green, with the exception of the second, fourth and part of the eleventh, will be thrown open and the course In use at present will be put out of commission.

Bussey cleans and reshapes old felt hat «to look like new. 28 1-2 White hall street. Chicago Iwill fans nay that tha Cuba nre good for, nt leant, two more pennant*, which would make three year* In a mw. The Windy City l« swelled up for fair. Among the American League cluba next season there will l»e found three or more new malinger* and, at least, one lu the National league. Quite the moat remarkable event of the game waa the fact that In Atlanta'* half of the fifth Inning, the first three iiiiui up made hits—one n two-ongger—nnd yet these were’the only men up In the In ning. Jordan singled nml atopped nt first. Jim Fox adit the ball down between first nnd hccoiiiI, and Jordan ran Into It. That put Jordan out nnd gave Fox a.lilt. Fox wu* then out stealing. Wallace followed with a two-bagger, but went out trying to steal third. The first half of the ninth Innliur cloned with an uuunual double—from short to first hose to catcher. Zimmer aud Allen, the first men up III that Inning, singled, Dougina went out, thlql to flrat. Then came Oil- l»ert, who bit n grounder to Morse. Whltey threw him out at first nnd Fox shimmed the halt home, entebiug Zimmer on hi* way to the plate. Tom Hughes' comment the play waa that Zimmer ought to have put h (| n«elf out of the game for trying to come home on that bit. Maybe be did. But na the game was over then, it was hard to tell. White wns caught off flrat very nicely by John Fox, who threw to Brother Jim. White was asleep. Sleeping during the game seems to be chronic with the Travelers. Might call them the Dreamers. Otto Jonlnn Just missed a nice donble in the third Inniug. When White hit him a hot grounder. Bird was advancing from first to second on the play. Otto stainmed nt. Bird with tint ball, apparently touched him. and then threw White out at first base. “Ruddy,” however, decreed that Bird was safe. That must have been what ruined Otto's disposition, for later In the game be was put out for quarreling with-Hudderbaiu. When Winters stole his Iwse In the eighth, the pitcher had the Ixtll In hls hands, and never even Attempted to throw to second. Over-anxiety and nervousness have mar red Mil's y's work with the Travelers. He wns trying a bit too hard. However, this*will wear off before the seasou cuds— and that event happen* Saturday. Dougina Is the l*est man on the Little Ibtrk team. Barring the pitchers, he Is worth all the other players put together— 4>n their recent showings at any rate. Brady. Keith aud Allen would he winning pltchrra with a halfway decent team. Brady Is n flrst-clns* mnn. nnd the other two would come with the right kind of trnlnlug. TAD HANDS ATTELL HEATED PACKAGE G. M.

New York, Sept. 10.—The represen tatives of Abe Attell and Terry McGov ern met at the, Metropolitan Saturday to arrange for a six-round battle to be fought in Philadelphia. They could not agree on weight so’ the meeting fell through. For over a year Attell has been yell ing hls head off about lighting bigger men than himself. He has said that McGovern forfeited 11,000 to him at Fort Erie some years ago because Ter ry was afraid to meet him. Only three imonths ago Attell came out and tossed a dell at Joe Gans saying that he want ed to fight for the lightweight cham pionship and If Joe would weigh In dt 133 Abe would fight him. He fought Nelson at catch weights and offered to meet Britt the same way. Saturday he would not meet McGovern unless Terry scaled 126 pounds. Very strange how these young men suddenly change their Ideas. In the future Attell can "holler" hls head off about scraps. Young Corbett things It’s all a jolly when they say that Jockeys and fight ers are bad tippers. "Take It from me,” said the pudgy little Denverite, "fighters can pick win ners Just aa well as any one else—that Is, If they are not prejudiced. I pick ed Gans to beat Nelson because I knew he was the best man. It was not be cause l am a bit sore at the Dane. I’ll give you gnother tip.
