12 TIIE ATLANTA GEORGIAN, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER. 14, 1906 SPORTS Edited by PERCY H. WHITING ctfp. <©> gHP STRUGGLE FOR SECOND PLACE STILL ON . ATLANTA AND MEMPHIS ARE STILL TIED : t i i r ' ' —i —J Atlanta Captures Opener From Frank’s False Alarms ATLANTA 4. NEW ORLEANS 3. For the fifth time Inside three days Atlanta won a hall game at Piedmont park Thursday afternoon. Like so many of the recent games. It started off badly for the Crackers, Hparks, whose arm has not l»een right of late, was hit quite freely^and dropped out at the end of the fourth, with the score 3 to 2 Jjj favor of Frank's Frights. Harley went in to save the day, and Dick’s pitching was of the Class A. va riety. In the Inst five Innings, New Orleans made Just two hits, and not a man passed second. Jordan. Fox nnd Phillips combined In the run which tied the game. Jordan went safe on 8Ilver Bill's error, and scored on Fox's hit. Harley scored the run which won the’ game. He opened up the seventh In ning with the first hit he hns^tnade In forty-seven games, or therealmuts. A passed 1*11 advanced him a base, Winters* infield hit sent him to third, and he scored on Croxler's hit. The Atlnutn team played right at Its best. The fielding was errorless, nnd the hitting timeJy. Every piny went off with n big bngue snap, and from end to end the Fallen na were helpless. Frank's men played good ball and If their hitting only equaled their fielding, they w*ouhl In* about the ln»st In the league.

And by this statement. Manager Frank pennant, "If the iiiiiik •'••men ujt, iimhikii, i mini ▼ote is I think," added Manager Frank, "and I certainly think thnt Vaughan hud oo right to the man. "The constitution of the league distinct ly provides thnt no Southern League play er cun be secured from another team dur ing the last thirty days of the playing sea son.

"However." concluded Malinger Frank, "I prefer to win games on the diamond, and not nt the league meetings. They took twenty-five games away from ' mjHj| St. Vhtln ih'iiI, and there Is why what's the use?" uml In the league If Atlnutn finishes rncs It Is douhtf doe# not owe It, . to protest the games In which Castro pi And If Memphis finishes second, the duty passes up to Memphis. No club In the league, save possibly Nashville, ever showed any dlsimsltlon to win a pennant In a league meeting. And certainly Atlanta does uot jvnnt one secured that way. But It seems nlmut time thnt some one made a protest against deals. like thnt Castro atn * Blriul , whnt t getting .... . . men from the tall end teams for the finish of next season’s race? It would lie as fair tor them ns for ^Am^ff 1 such things were allowed to con tinue, pennant races would become n farce.

If Charley Frank's <vui tent ton Is true thirty dnys of the playing season Is not lu conflict with a rule of t/ie National Asso ciation, then every game in which ('astro played should lie set aside. If this pro. vision does not sfafid. then every game In which Castro plnyciP Iwfore he was actual ly sold to Birmingham, nnd during which time he Wns H maned player should In* thrown out.

Golf Course at East Lake One of Longest in Country The new golf course of the Atlnutn Ath letic Club nt Fast Lake, which will he of ficially opened Saturday, Is the largest ill the South and one of the very longest In the entire country. It was measured Thursday by F. G, Byrd, nnd Superintendent Pickering and found to lie 6,970 yards long, or almost exactly 3?4 miles In length. These measurements came ns a surprise even to the ineu who laid out the course. They figured that It was somewhat more than 6,000 yards long, but when the exact figures were ascertained the total made them fairly gnsp. No course In the South touches It on length nnd few In the country are within 1,000 yards of It. Just xvhnt the bogey will be for this course has not been determined. It la likely thnt the figures wilt be submitted to Tom Bendlow, the famous professional, who laid out the course, nud his opinion will be se cured. The new course will be opened in tho nf- ternoon of Saturday. Kvertyhlng will then lie In readiness for play. The sand boxes have nil been plnced, the cups Inserted and •verythlng Is spick nnd span for opening day.
