With the coming of aunset the parting
salute will ho Ural, the pennants of 1902,
1903, 1904, 1906 and 1906 will be run down the

phere of the Alabat .a metropolis.
Not until night fa'le will the fans of At
lanta and Memphis know which of their
tesms coptured that bitterly contested sec-
oud place. Both teams have made a gallant
fight and all honor to tho winner end the

but haa only two team* In the first division,
and consequently two In the second—Just
as the west has. And eurU section has had
the same numbers of good, bad nnd Indiffer
ent ,drnwlug cards.
In many ways the season lina been sensa
tional. The rubtter ball Incident, the Cas
tro deal, tho passing of Newt Fisher, the
attacks on 'President Kavanaugh, the
charges and counter-charges have combined
to make the summer of 1906 full of exciting
Incidents.
One thing which has nindo the season no
table has been the number of flrst-cloaa
players developed from tho new material
men like Nleholla, Byrne, Absteln, Lleb-
hnnlt, Oyler, Jim Fox, nnd Maxwell—hod
the number of atari of past seasons who
Jute* been at iheir beat th)a . year—Brel ten

And tonight the season ends. When the

It Nought to Atlanta much good base

Bo here's a toast for 1907:

FIRST GAME ATLANTA 5. NEW 0RLEAN8. 0
SECOND GAME ATLANTA 1. NEW ORLEANS...! 2
Tbe seml-flnal day of the* Southern League season In Atlanta was one of
mixed joy aud sadness—for Atlanta wou the first game aiul lost the second of the
double-header with New Orleans—aud dropped out of second place lu conse
quence.
Tbe Crackers won the first game by playing little ringlets around the proud Pel
icans. Watt was swatted on numerous occasions and with direful results for New
Orleaha, while Tom Hughes added nnother to bis long list of victories by the
same variety of twirling which has made him the premier pitcher of the league
during 1906.
Timely batting by Jordan, Wallace, Winters and a hnnt by Crosier netted At
lanta’s run*.
The second game gave rise to some of the most jngged fielding the locals have
put up this year. The Crackers Were filled with n double and twist**! determina
tion to take the gnnie, and In consequence they made nilsplnya through overea-
geraces. Not a man on the team shirked or did anything but Ills best. But It
Just happened that their best wasn’t so very good.
John Fox pitched every Inning hut the last. Aud If he had had the support ac
corded Hughes be would have blanked the Pelicans. Tbe. two runs were made after
two “punkertno" errors had l*een performed, oud the runs cuttie through no fault
In the second half of the eighth inning. Fox was tnkeu out to nllow Sid
Smith to attempt to hat Wnltkce home, and Zeller wna cent
game.

THE SEASON OF 1908PA3SE8 INTO HI8TORY.
Dominick Mullaney Canned
As Montgomery's Manager
Special to The Georgian.
Montgomery, Ala., Sept. 16.—D. J. Mulls-
ney will not bo manager of tbe Montgomery
baseball team next season. This statement
was obtained from President Amerlne of
the local association today. Not only this,
Mnllnney will not be on the local squad If
there Is a chance to swap hlui off.
Mull did not make good with the associa
tion or the fans, and the Wat association
Is determined to get nnother manager.
Mullaney wna made manager Just after
Ike Durrett was fired by the Montgomery
association and at first made a splendid
leaded but it did not Inst long, nnd It was
reported on all sides there Is trouble among
the players. This Mullaney denied.
President Amerlne states positively Mont
gomery will be In the league next year. He
aaya Montgomery will not support a high-
priced team. He atatea that the association
lost money this year and last year about
broke even. He believes that If the attend
ance had kept up the latter part of the
season ns It did the first Montgomery would
have made money. He aaya no move has
yet been made to select a new manager,
but that there would be soon, lie stated
that every player this year wpa on the re
serve list, nnd that with one more catcher,
two Infleldcrk and nn outfielder Montgomery
will be ready ne*t season.
The Montgomery association will back
Judge Kavanaugh for president again, so
states President Ameriue, Manager Mulla-
ney stnted toduy that he was going to Bn-
rnnnnh and did not Intetul to come back to
Montgomery. He says be Intends to play
ball again next season, but will not land In
this burg again, lie may take the manage
ment of the Savannah or Jacksonville
teams. Mullaney Is a splendid first base
man nnd Is a hard hitter.
Only two of the players will remnla In
Montgomery when the season breaks up,
nnd they are John Malnrky, the genial nnd
ever ready pitcher, nnd Link Btlckney. Ills
home Is at Springfield, Ohio. After the
game breaks up this afternoon the ball
players will be ready to go to their homes.
Mullaney goes to Bnvnnnnh, W. G. Brelten-
steln to Greenville, Miss., Fred Iloutx to
Wapskeueta, Ohio, Heine Bust'll to Clactn-
untl, Robert March to Vicksburg, Miss.*
Winfred Gultterex to New Orleans, LMaytou
Perry to Rice Iaike, WIs., Bill Ilnugeu to

when he referred to them over hla sig
nature as "a lot of minor leaguers, 1
and spoke disparagingly of the Ameri

resent, his refusal to let the then
climbing Giants engage the champions
of tho American League, the Boston
Puritans! In their opinion Brush at

EVERY MAN RESERVED
EXCEPT RICHARD CR0ZIER
Manager Billy Smith has prepared
his reserve list and on It are sixteen
men. . . 1
The only notable absentee Is Richard
Crosier, who will be released tonight at
his own request.
Crozler feels that he haa played with
Atlanta long enough, and that he will
do better work elsewhore. No man In
the league has ever played harder,
more consistent, more gentlemanly ball
than Dick Crozler, and It Is with the
deepest regret that the fans learn that
he will not be with Atlanta next sea
son.
One of the sixteen men on the list—
James Archer—has been drafted. He
Is reserved, however, as a matter of
form, though he goes to Detroit for
a try-out In the spring.
Every man on the team, with the ex
ception of the two named above, has
been reserved. So also has Bugs Ray
mond, who has been with Savannah
this season, and who has been turned
over to Atlanta for another try next
spring. Jack Bracken and E. B. Dun
lap, who did not report this spring,
and “Doc” Childs, who now stands sus
pended.
With the 1906 team Intact, with the
exception of Tom Hughes, Jimmy
Archer and Dick Crozler, Manager
Smith has jno very difficult task In
picking a bunch of winners for next
year.
Sunday afternoon Manager Billy will
leave for Dayton, Ohio, where he goes
to look over some Control League ptay-

Jockeys Make Money But
They Have Their Troubles
By J. S. A. M’DONALD.
New York, Sept. 16.—Nowadays you can
be something other than nn Insurance com
pany president and yet njtret the pn«t.
•Mark’’ Martin, for lustnuce, keenly rues
the hour and the day when he rode Foun-
talnlileu In the Flnthunh stake* running of
September 8. Fountalnbleti went to the
poat a tremendously well supported fa
vorite, nnd he finished In the ruck, Itenten
twenty lengths by DeMund, Ballot, Dtnna
Ken nnd other youngsters he hnd tow-
roped at HarnUntn. The race wna run In
•lower pnee than the work given Fountain-
bleu for the event two days previously.
"Diamond Jim" Brady, the tnnn who gnv
up 325,000 for the son of Oddfellow, almost
suffered n fit after the flulsh, while Trnluet
Mat" Allan wanted to "go to" Martin
on sight. \
In the meantime, thousands of close
observers of the running of the Flnthmdi
stakes nnd good Judges of 2-yenr-old form,
put Martin on the griddle aud he has been
toasting and stxsling there ever since.
"Willie" Shaw gave Electioneer, tbe Fu
turity winner, n growsntue ride In the Flat
bush, too, the colt’s owner, •’Billy" lake
land, becoming so enraged the Jockey’s
friends hnd to escort tbe rider from the
course after' the day's racing. Ho hot l>e-
cnnie the shot from the press and public
that lK>th the riders are out with nn an
nouncement of their retirement from the
•addle nt the close of the current senson.
A local writer estimates Martin's wealth
at 3250.0W ns the result of eight years’
service In the silks, which qienns that Ids
Income nversges nl*out 332,000 a year. But
that could not l*e S4», for during «Jie first
three years of his. riding, while under serv
ice to Alex Shields nt Chicago, Martin re
ceived not much more that) his mere keep.
There must have been seasons here In the
past when he garnered ns much ns 360,000-
faet which occasions a pretty line of
reflection nnd makes one stand io wonder
at the great gome this horse racing builmf
has Itertmie In recent years.
Apart from the wonderful Incomes of the
foremost Jockeys, the thought of tbe to!-
time of betting In the ring on every day
of the racing season about New York may
occasion a thrill of surprise. On Hatunlay,
September 8, when the Ftathnsh stakes and
the Century stakes were contested, 40,000
racegoers crowded the grandstands nnd the
lawns nt Hheepahead bay. Over 26,000 of
them paid the admission of $3# the L
office receipts on tbe day being o\
000 all told. A conservative estimate
the betting market on the seven rs
run thnt day Is put nt 3250,000. The J<
eys nre the klug-plns In the situation,
consequently their "bit" Is large an
Juicy. ___
