1-i f7iI'i ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. FRIDAY. APRIL, 19. 1907. . I WEATHER IS PUTTING BASEBALL ON THE BLINK SPORTING PAGE EDITED BY PERCY H. WHITING NOT NEWS, BUT VIEWS It vis a slaughters Thursday in Birmingham, but don’t let it shake your convicition that Atlanta has right now the best team in the league. Sid Smith and Otto Jordan are but at present and the team will hardly be at its best until they are back. But, bar ring hard luck it is going to give them all the run of their lives for the rag. They can lose 20 games straight without altering this opin ion. GEORGIAN 9 CITY LEAGUE MEETS ON FRIDAY NIGHT Th# Georgian's City League will meet in The Georgian office Fri day night at 8 o'clock. All managers are asked to be present at that time. Considerable'business is due to come before the session, including the adoption of a constitution, election of officers, and a report from the committee on grounds. The Georgian's City League will not open until May 4, but it is de sirable to get all the details arranged at once and a full attendance is urged. Rowan pitched nice ball. lie was just wild enough to get in to a lot of deep holes but with the usual brand of Atlanta sup port he would have pulled o*t easily enough. As it was be showed no sign of going into the air and kept doing highest un til Billy Smith took him out in order to have a look at Ford’s as sortment of carves. CLEMSON TIGERS WIN TRACK MEET FROM TECH Ford did fine work. Ho allowed the Barons a run in the first inning of service, but blanked them the next two. Both Ford and Rowan have effective deliveries, steam to blow and durves galore. Both of them seem certain to go to the ■ top. Rowan nearly spoiled Birmingham’s highest priced pitcher. In the third he soaked Clark in the elbow with a pitched ball and old Pigeon Toes nearly went down for the count. This forced Oinger to retire from the game and Wilhelm took his place. This was the third time this season that Wilhelm has had to relieve another pitcher without having the slightest chance’ to warm up. And every time be has done well. , The Clemeon Tigers got away with the Yellow Jackets Thursday after noon In the track meet, the Tigers run ning up 87 points while the Jackets came along with 41, Captain Goodler started for Tech, winning the 100-yard dash In 10 3-5 seconds, winning the high jump, came second In the pole vault and third In the running board Jump. Furtlck, last year's football star, demonstrated that he Is an all roilnd athletic, entering five events, winning three and In the other two did some thing toward adding to the count of his team. Warren, of ■ Clemson, also -plus Jim Fox—furnish- That three-bagger of Carlos Smith’) ed the only real comedy of the game. When Carlos rounded the first sack at a terrific clip Jim Fox fell in behind him and ran as though he wns getting a salary for it right behind Smith down to second and then over to third. It wa4 such a freakish performance and so unexpected that the U-.,. _ n_ J —,, crowd screamed.

CRACKERS QUIT BIRMINGHAM AND INVADE CITY OF M0NTG0MER The Atlanta team left Birmingham Friday morning and Is due to play Montgomery Friday, Saturday, Mon day and Tuesday afternoons. , "I’m glad It's Montgomery gnd not some of the rest of them we go against," was Manager Smith’s com ment Thursday night. "We ought to beat Mallarkey's team, but we are In With S! on the sick list and at home, Atlanta Is pretty well battered up. At that, the shattered remains have gone to Montgomery with the firm conviction that they can win two or three out of- the four games to be played. Thursday night found (he delegation In pretty fair shape. Grant Schopp's Illness has been somewhat exaggerated by the Birmingham scribes, and he is now In fine trim. He was never con fined to his bed by the Indisposition which; at worse, was no more serious than a stomach upset. He was rather weak Thursday but took a good work out and would be In shape to go In Friday If needed. When last seen, Billy Smith did not know whom he would pitch In the opening game with Montgomery. "I guess It’ll be Zeller, though,” said Bill. ’ lie hasn't worked since Monday and he Is ieady to go In. Besides he wants to go home as soon as the game Is over." • Rube will pitch the opener on the team's return. He Is In the best pos sible trim now and will doubtless polish off the Dobbers when they open here next Wednesday. Schopp 'will very likely take Satur day's game, though Spade Is ready and anxious to go In. > Ford wants another try-out' before the team returns. He has worlds of confidence In his ability and asked to be put In Thursday. He feels sure that TECH TACKLES TIGERS TODAY Barring earthquakes, volcanic erup- lions, floods, rain and a few such the Georgia Tech and Sewanee baseball teams will get together on Tech field Friday afternoon In the first engage ment of a three-game series. The doings will be started at 3:30. Saturday, Tech and Sewanee will meet In a double-header. The first game will be started at 2:30. chasing Carlos Smith, then we got a lot of laughs out of our ays terns that belong there still. All the pitchers lind the “bean ball” working fino. Winters was hit by the very first ball pitched during the game. Clark was sent to the woods by a hard one and both Becker and Gard ner were soaked. Becker is going to make errors now and then during the sea son, but nobody who sees them made is ever going to blame him. Ho is always so obviously trying to do his best and works so hard and cqnscientiously to win that the few mistakes he makes will be readily forgiven. - If the writer had been doing thescoriug Dyer would not have drawn an error in the second'inning on Gardner’s grounder. It was a ball which wns almost impossible to handle and Gardner had.it beaten anyway. ‘‘That “Biringhara squeeze” is a terrible thing—when it works. But now and then it goes astray. One went wrong-in tho seventh inning after Smith hit his three-bagger. The signal came for the squeeze and Gardner bunted at it. The ball was fouled well into the air, but Carloa did not note that fact until too late. O’Leary grabbed the sphere on the fly, retiring Gardner, and then doubled Smith at third. And Draw an Awful Wallop By Ptrey H. Whiting. Birmingham, Ala., April 19.—Every now and then n team has a wallop coming to It. Atlanta had one of "them spells" In Birmingham yesterday. The result was a 8 to 1 score. Note—Bir mingham made the 8 runs, Atlanta the 1.) The Barons had the Crackers' goat from the Jump. Of course If It hadn’t been for frayed-out work of the At lanta fielders the score would have been about 2 to 1, Instead of the above sad figures, but 2 to 1 was a Baron victory. It seems, however; that the Atlanta players had a lot of errors In their systems and they worked them all out In a bunch. that Hid 1 Smith was not behind the bat and Otto Jordan was far, far from second base. And If you think that doesn't make a difference your thinker is not operating properly. Neither of the pitchers for the At lanta team knew a thing about the Bir mingham batters and the catcher was “Emmons for Quality” Clothes That Satisfy The Most Critical Men Two kinjls of cloth—one is all-wool, the other contains cotton. To the inexperi enced eye both look equally well on the sur face, but the difference soon shows in the wear. Likewise there arc two kinds of tailor ing, machine-made and hand-made. One is nothing,' the other is everything in fine clothes making. * All-wool—and the best at that—before a garment cau bear the Enunons label. We are careful to sec that no mercerized ootton enters into the making of Emmons clothes. And, too, the making of Emmons cloth ing is the regular merchant tailors’ stand ard—every garment cut separately and made by hand. Made by hand means per fect fit and good shape' just as long as a thread is left—gives the garment a style, too, that is in a class away from the ordina ry ready-made kind. Paj’ $15.00 or $35.00, no matter the price, you’ll get more than your money’s worth at Emmons. In the same boat. They picked up some .knowledge as they worked but that Intimate knowledge of what fools any of them, which la passed by Sid Smith, wns quite lacking In the At lanta battery. Dike enough most of you read In the extra how It all happened; but, any way, here It Is again, boiled down to the limit: In the first Inning Smith singled. Then Gardner singled to right field. Becker tried to hold Smith at second nnd In the attempt threw the ball In the bleachers. Both men trotted home. In the third Lister walked, Garvin singled, and Clark was soaked on the elbow, filling the bases. Then Molcs- worth hit what the scorer was good enough-to call a three-bagger. How ever, It looked aa though somebody In the outfield might have got It. In the fifth Garvlri singled and Pask- ert missed the ball. Then Walters hit a warm one Into the outfield and there was a google-eyed mlx-up and the 1 ball went the limit,. Whereupon Garvin scored. Later on. Gardner singled, scor ing Walters. In the sixth, a base on balls, a sacrifice and a single scored another run. Atlanta staved off, a shut-out in the eighth when Winters knocked a two- bagger and scored on O'Leary's sin gle.

Locust Grove, Ga., April 19.—For five Innings here Wednesday afternoon L. G. I. and N. G. A. C., of Dahlonega, played an unusually snappy game of baseball. . The feature of the game was that the mountain boys failed to get a single hit off of Gray, L. G. I.'s pitcher. The fielding was spectacular, especially that put up by Combs, of the local squad. Two hits and two errors in the second Inning gave L. G. I. the only two runs scored In the contest. The N. G. A. C. boys put up a strong fielding game, but could not get In with the stick. On Monday L. G. I. goes to Barnes- vllle for the first contest with Gordon this season. This will be one of the big prep games and la looked forward to with great Interest.
