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.

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. By 8ID MERGER, of Tho Now York Globo. 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 Dick Harldy Is In our midst. Richard hns ''arrove.” 1 He blew Into town Thursday after noon, looking ns fresh ns a "prep school" hero nnd ns handsome as ever— and that’s Sarny Richard says he has the proverbial 2-year-old beat all around the track when It cornea to feelings, and he eg. pert, to pilch winning ball again thli Mason. Harley Is the first Cracker to report, but others will arrive In due lime, whenever that la. Because he didn't like to be talked about a "hard guy" from Missouri fell Into a newspaper office recently and started to tear It down. The city edi tor was nut and the Sunday editor wouldn't fight. But when the "angry one" tripped over the aborting editor- well. do you mean lo say we sporting editors don't understand the art we write about? Tom Burns, Philadelphia Jack NAT KAISER 4. CO.
