Fate
With the City League projected by
Tha Georgian practically organized,
with a number of teams lined up for a
Junior League and with the Commer
cial League players laying back for the
time to come when their “Saturday*
off” arrive, the amateur huaeball aeaaon
promises to be a busy one.
An effort haa been made to get up
a city league, mode up not necesaarlly
of tha fastest teams In the city, but of
teams which are In the game for the
sport, which will be contented to play
without any paid men on the team, and
teams which are made up of gentlemen
and players who can be counted on to
be on hand for ©very game from the
beginning of the season to the end.
The organization of thla league Is not
completed as yet, but enough teams
have been secured to guaruntee Its suc
cess, and In the near future the per
manent organization will be completed.
At present the teams which have sig
nified their willingness to play through
tho season for The Georgian's pennant
are the organisations representing the
Fourth National Hunk. Maddox-Hucker
Hank (or If the employees of thla bank
do not put a regular team In the
Held, a Hunkers' team, made up of
plny-ofs from thla and other banks>. an
Insurance team, which will be man
aged by Ralph Joyner, son of Mayor
Joynert a team representing The At
lanta Georgian, which will be managed
by Hub Huddleston; a team which will
represent either the WIUIs Wall Paper
Company or a Wall Paperers* team,
made up of the mployees of various wall
B zper companies, and the Houth itroad
treat Merchants, of which team
Charles Doolittle Is captain nnd llnb
McMillan Is one of the most prominent
members.
All of these teams are organised, or
practically organized, and most of them
are supplied with uniforms and prnc-
BALL HAS REPORTED.

date for shortstop, has arrived In At
lanta. Ball Is In fine trim.
Russell Ford, one of Atlanta's new
pitchers, has gone, It Is reported, to
Hot Springs for a boiling out.
ROLLINS, OF CLEVELAND,

tlcnlly a full equipment.
The teams In this league will not be
limited to employees of the Arms or
organizations which they represent.
They will, however, be required to play
nothing but amateur players, and It Is
likely that each team will be required
to have a reserve list and to keep down
to a dozen player*.
More complete details about this
league will be printed at a later date.
The Commercial League will almost
certainly reorganize this year, though
the regular season of this organisation
ran not begin until the business Arms
of the city begin to give their em
ployees Saturday afternoons off.
Last year the city had a successful
Commercial league. The Georgian of
fered a penfmnt nnd it was won by the
John Hllvey team, after a nice race.
Practically all the teams which were
In this organization last year want to
go In It again.
A Junior League Is still a warm pos
sibility. Several teams have expressed
a desire for such a league, and The
Georgian stands ready to give a pen
nant. Any teams made up of players
16 years old or under, which are In
terested In this mntter. are asked to
communicate ■ with the sporting editor
of The Georgian.

ANOTHER FOR GRIFF
One load hns been hoisted from the
nll-hut-submcrgcd spirits of Clark
Griffith, for:
leouls Hrockrtt Is here.
Hrockett Is the Buffalo pitcher who
has been holding out for a bit more of
the stuff which pays bills. For the last
few days he has been supposed to be
nursing his little grievance under the
parental roof at Noma City, III.: nnd
W’hen ho “druv up" Friday morning
thore was rejoicing In the camp of the
Highlanders.
NOT NEWS, BUT VIEWS
By PSKOV H. WHITING.
Charley Frank, in a letter to the writer, »ays of the New Or
leans team: “Looks pretty fine to me.”
Attieus Mullin of the Birmingham Ledger says in regard to
tho same team:
“It is the saddest thing in the world to think of the Pelicans.
From present indications Frank’s team is a contender with Mont
gomery and Shreveport for cellar honors.”
It is hard to agree with either of these eminent authorities.
The Pelicans don’t tptite look like pennant winners, but they
should be right up in the first division—say somewhere between
second and fourth place—or thereabouts.
Birmingham authorities are selecting Atlanta to run second
to Birmingham this year. The Crackers tried to do that last yenr
hut Chesty Charles Babb nosed them out.
Klmer Duggan is doing the Hal Chnse-Genrgc Stone net nnd
holding out for more coin. Elmer, by the way, is teaching school
this winter and keeping in condition by swinging the rod mid
working his brain.
Wouldn’t Elmer jar you some, though, ns n school teacher!
Beals Wright, Karl Behr nnd Raymond Little have been
nnmed ns the team which will cross the pond and chase the Da
vis team cup. May they have luck. For they will sure need it.
When President Elliot, of Harvard, in his annual report
eharneteriml football ns “fierce” he left such a loophole for Yale
men to say thnt the kind of football they have been playing at
Harvard lately IIAS BEEN pretty “fierce.”
With reinforcement, arriving each
day, the Yankee atjuad In Dixie ha* now
srown to a formidable .lie and the
manner In which the New Yorker, are
prying the lid off the local baaeball
aeaaon la causing Atlanta fana to alt up
and taka notice.
Clark Griffith doea not cling to an
cient Ideaa about training. Of course
he haa laid down a set of general rule,
to cover th, preliminary aklrmlehlng.
but he Is not driving his men. He
doesn’t need to. In two days the
Yankees have made rapid atrldea. Yes
terday afternoon Griff had hie Infield
and outfield working for an hour, the
only absentees being Chaae and Con
roy. George Morlarlty filled In at first
base and left field was covered by
Biggs, formerly of the Philadelphia
Athletics, and now a member of the
Syracuse team.
Hogg and Hughes Land.
The arrival yesterday afternoon of
Billy Hogg and Tom Hughes, who
traveled together from Pueblo, brought
the total of player* who have reported
up to sixteen. Bobby Keefe got In
from Folsom, Cal., early yeaterday
morning, but did not participate In the
morning practice. He had been riding
trains since last Thursday and re
mained In the "feathers" until
nearly noon. However. Keefe doesn't
need much work. He Is a tall, thin
fellow, who needs to put on weight In
stead of taking It off. Keefe says he
haa entirely recovered from his opera
tion for appendicitis which kept him
out of the game the latter part of last
seaaon.
Hogg and Hughes both look good.
"Plggtc” kept hlmaelf In condition all
winter as a paving Inspector and is
heavier than he was last summer.
Beef Is what he needs for that speedy
delivery. Hughes Is a great favorite
here In Atlanta, for he was the winning
pitcher on the local team last season.
It Is a safe bet that he won't shine In
the minors this season, for he showed
Griff enough last fall to make the man
ager count on him os one of his regu
lars this year.
"Kid” Elberfeld was another arrival
yesterday. In his first day’s practice
he showed the effect of his limbering
up at Hat Springs. He was as lively
as a grasshopper around abort and hed
hla underhanded throw working to per
fection. Barring a lame left shouldrr
Elberfeld la ready for the bell right
sidestepped.
Taking It Easy.
The second dey'e workout was
,o strenuous aa the Aral The tun «u
hidden behind the clouds moat of u„
time and there wag a coolness In the air
that was missing on Wednesday. Th,
effect, of the first day's hard work wgg
evident. Ira Thomas had a. lame back
and shoulder, but he worked the >or«-
ness out of hla "wing" before the du
now.
Frank Laporte and bla big bat wert
much In evidence at both practice an.
■Ions yeaterday. He la not as heavy
aa he wae laat apring. La porte cov
ered third baae when the regulars took
the field for practice and found him-
self a bit maty. Two or three days ->f
hard work will make him familiar with
the position once more. The Ohioan',
batting eye la clear, however, lie went
up agalnet some fast practice pitching
and slammed out terrific drives. When
ever he belted a grounder the Infielder,
was over. Nearly everyone eprung t
complaint of aome kind. Danny Iloff.
man walked aa If he had a "flat wheal,
but Danny explained that It was mer-
ly a muscular affliction. Willie Keelr:
didn't have a word to say. He never
doea. He seems the same the first day
of the season aa he doea the last. Keel
er haa hla own Ideas about training nnj
never needs any Instructions. He j!
ways leaves the park on fool, but gen
erally hops a car before he has run ta.
blocks.
Th. Mayor on Hand.
Mayor Joyner, of Atlanta, who I, ■
great admirer of the New York team,
was Grtff's guest again at the after-
noon practice. He didn't get much oft
line on the men for a half hour, ns the
Yankees were pulled up anil simple
tossed the ball about. Suddenly Griff
shouted an order nnd each man went
to his position, orlff did the batting
and Ira Thomas the catching. Th-
manager sent them whistling down
through the Infield. It looked natural
lo see Williams and Elberfeld turning
double playa around second base,
little shortstop was fast as lightning
And some of the plays he made set the
spectators to gaping.
DICK HARLEY HERE
