CRIPPLED CRACKERS STILL FIGHTING PRETZELS
SPORTING PAGE EDITED BY PERCY K. WHITING
NOT NEWS, BUT VIEWS j
Montgomery is mad. «
They say their game is being knocked.
Here is what Leslie R. Hahn, managing editor of the soon-to-
eventuate Montgomery States wires to the sporting editor of The
Atlanta Georgian:
Whiting, from Birmingham, declares there la Arm belief that
the Montgomery ball team will quit. Absolutely nothing to re
port. Wish sporting writers of Southern League cities .would
cease knocking local club. Present anvil chorus from outside
Montgomery ridiculous. It consistent, help turn tide through The
Georgian.
Now, lest there be a mistake, The Georgian wishes to statu
that the Said Whiting did not state it as his opinion that Mont
gomery was going to quit the league. lie said merely that the
people over in Birmingham think so. Which they do. Also he
expressed his hope and his belief that the rumor was a false
alarm.
FAST BECK & GREGG BASEBALL TEAM
The spirit expressed by MrHahn’s wire is the right one and
The Georgian is with him in any effort to keep baseball in Mont
gomery.
There is no denying that there has been a feeling in official
circles that Montgomery’s hold on a place in the Southern
Leagno was none too strong. This feeling has been expressed by
several, in these “not-for-publication” interviews.
But we are quite willing to take the State’s judgment in
this matter and we again wi^h Montgomery a successful season.
Certainly Atlanta should be grateful to Mallarky’s team for the
helping hand extended in the opening games. With self-sacrific
ing spirit the Pretzels went clear to the bottom in their effort to
send Atlanta to the top. And we are not ungrateful.
Tuesday Atlantn plays the last game of the road trip and
Wednesday the Crackers open at home. That day marks also
the debut of Manager Johnny Dobbs’ rejuvenated Boosters.
Dobbs has a team so much better than the penniless and
disorganized aggregation which represented Nashville last year
that you wouldn’t know it for tho same bunch. And doubtless
they will give Atlanta a hard run, especially as the Crackers will
still be crippled by the absenco from the game of Sid Smith and
Otto Jordan.

And Looking For a Fight
GEORGIAN'S CITY LEAGUE HOLDS
MEETING AND ELECTS OFFICERS
E. W. D»ley, the Nashville tennis and golf player, wna in
Atlanta Friday. He states that tho Atlanta Tennis Club with
stood a strong effort last winter to put it out of business and
that it is now on a firmer footing than ever before. He tells me
that the Tennessee championship will again be held in Nashville
and that it promises to be a better event than ever before. He
says also tlidt Nashville will send a strong tennis team to the
Southern tennis championship which will be held as usual this
year in Atlanta.
I note that in the forthcoming Southern trap ahooting handi
cap “shooting names” will be barred—which means that every
man in the tournament will be there under his own namo.
It may be due to •dullness, but the writer is one of many
who could never see any valid reason for n man to tako part
, in a sport under an assumed name—unless there was something
about the sport or himself that he was ashamed of.
If he is ashamed to he in a tournament let him stay out. .If
ho isn’t let him uso his own uame.
Shooting under an assumed name is either a silly or a vi
cious habit and in either ease ought to be barred.

Montgomery, Ala., April 20.—Atlanta

Malarkey ordered himself In to pitch

Montgomery batted In a couple In the

At a meeting of The Georgian's City
League held Friday night In Tho Geor
gian office J. M. Thomas, manager of
the Bun Proof Team, was elected pres
ident of the league; J. N. Bell, man
ager of the Beck & Gregg team, was
elected vice president, and P. H. Whit
ing was elected secretary and treas
urer.
Chairman Thomaa, of the ground,
committee, wa, made a favorable re
port and It seems evident that the un
usually puullng question of grounds
Is to be easily solved. The commit
tee was continued and will report Anal
ly at a meeting of the league, which
will be/neld next Wednesday night at
The Georgian office.
After tho election of ofAcers had
been held a discussion of the constitu
tion and by-laws followed. Many sug
gestions were made and these will all
he embodied In the constitution and by
laws which will bo presented to the
league for Anal action Wednesday
night.
It woe decided that eaoh team must
post a small forfeit, to he held by the
treasurer during the season and to be
turned over by him to the managers at
the end of the season. This forfeit will
guarantee the appearance of all teams
nt the times anil places where games
are scheduled, will kuarantee all Anea
which are assessed by umpires and
should do much toward preserving
order In the league.
It Is proposed to give the umpires
of the league the fullest powers and
to buck them up to the limit. Umpires
will be nominated by managers and
qualllled by a vote of the league. The
umpire will then be assigned to games
each Saturday by some ofAcer of the
league—presumably the secretary. An
umpire will not, however, be assigned
to serve In games where the team
whoa manager nominated him In tak
ing part. Umpires will be paid tl a
game, each team contributing . fifty
cents.
The league will be conAned strictly
to amateurs and It will be the under
standing that an amateur la one who
haa not played for pay more than thirty
consecutive days. Of course a man
who has ever received pay for playing
Is no amateur but such a strict rul
ing as that would bar many desirable
players from the league.
There will also bo a rule which will
provide that If any player or team pay
a player for taking part In a city
League game that team shall forfeit
the game to the opposing team. This
rule Is Intended to prevent teams from
hiring star pitchers for a game or two
right at the end of the season.
There will also be a rule adopted
which shall forbid the trading of play
ers during the latter part of the sea
son. This rule Is aimed to prevent the
friendly strengthening of certain teams
at the end of the season by the tall-
enders.
The Southern States Electric Com
pany team applied for admission to the
league through Its manager, John
Blellfton. and the M. Kuta team applied
through Its last year's manager, Claudo
Sartorlous.
The M. Kutz team, which was In the
Commercial League ioat year, has been
granted the place which was held by
The Georgian team. "Hub" Hud
dleston, who was to have managed that
team, will catch for the M. Kutz team.
The Southern States Electric Com
pany team may get the place formerly
held " *
Jack Foy, Atlanta's star welter
weight pugilist who has been out of
the Aghtlng game for some time on ac
count of nn operation for appendicitis,
has entirely recovered and Is back In
the game again.
Foy wishes It announced that he Is
now In condition and that he Is ready
rid by the Cracker team.
M’CAY’S DOPE ON COTTON STATES DOINGS
By Bernie McCoy.
Mobile, Ala., April 20.—Just a week
ha, elapsed since the Mason was
cracked open, and now, after two com
plete aeries have been played the fans
are getting a llpe on the strength of
the various teams.
If Indications count for anything, the
attendance all over the circuit this year
will break all previous records. Open
ing day In Mobile saw n crowd of 4,600
paid admissions and this Is no padded
attendance either. This Is the largest
crowd that attended u ball game In
Mobile In recent years. In Columbus
on opening day, the Mobile team played
to a mob of 2,100 howling fanatics, who
exerted and strained every muscle of
their vocal organs In an endeavor to
aid their team to win—and succeeded.
Score—Columbus 5, Mobile 3.
If the people of Columbus continue
to support their teum ns well all sea
son as they have the Arat series, the
successor of Baton Rouge will be fur
from u weak sister In this lengue. Talk
about enterprise! - Any town that cun
enter a league at the late date that
Columbua did, und get a’bnll club to
gether, erect a park, and atlr the peo
ple up to such a state of enthusiasm
as reigns there, Is deserving of a whole
basket full of good things. And they
have got a good team too! Turner,
their catcher. Is about as accurate and
quick a thrower to bases a, has ever
been In the league. The pitching staff.
May, Uruxeallc, Llttlepage, O'Maru and
Casey. Is a strong one.
Wright on Arst base Is as good In
that position as any man In the league
and Duke at second Is a reliable, steady
Adder and hitter. Huber at short I,
considered the best Adder In the league,
although a little weak with the willow.
Manual;, the ■ Memphis boy on third
base, Is a mighty promising youngster.
McDevttt, Pease and Orth Collins
make a trio of outAelder, as good as
any In the league and all arb left-hand
hitters. Jack Law himself will proba
bly do most of the catching.
All the teams are gradually cutting
down to the limit of thirteen men and
by May 1 every club will be reduced
to the number of men they will carry
through the season. The Gulf Coast
League Is greatly In need of pluylng
talent, so nearly all the Cotton States
discards And a place somewhere In thut
circuit.
Few people who saw the raising of
the pennant In Mobile on the opening
day, were awnre of the trials and trtbu-
Intlons that attended the securing of
the pole. One evening about a week
More the season opened, Ray. O'Brien,
Bates, Ned Colsson and myself started
down tho shell rood Into the swamp
til search of a suitable tree. Finally,
about six miles down the bay shore, In
the center of a swamp, the watchful
eye bf "Micky" O'Brien espied a,tall
•lender pine and then the fun com
menced. The tree was about eighteen
Inches In diameter and "Mickey"
started chopping the tree down wt '
shingling hatchet. After about
hour’s hard work the would-be pennant
pole fell with a.crash across the shell
road, through some telephone wires und
a farmer’s fence. And to our great dis
appointment about forty feet of the
top broke off. This disaster to the pole
pretty nenrly broke O’Brien’s heart nnd
ho vowed lie should have climbed the
tree before it fell In order to keep It
from falling so hard.
Ray showed himself to be perfectly
familiar with the hanging of mules
and after divers and sundry accidents
and mlatakea, the polo was Anally de
posited triumphantly in the ball ground,
where, after being shaved, and a piece
spliced on the end where It had broken
off. It was Anally raised. And then to
cap the climax, when the Aag waa
being hoisted for the Arst time it w’as
found to be upside down—and Mo
bile lost the opening game of tho sea
son. And another strange thing was
that the hit which won the game from
Mobile struck right -at the foot of the
Aag pole, hooka to me like that par
ticular pole was hoodooed.

ma defeated Fort Valley yesterday In
the Arst baseball game of the season.
It was a very one-sided affair, re
sulting In a score of 15 to 2.
Fort Valley's two runs came as a re
sult *>f a dropped ball by the catcher
and several InAeld errors In succes
sion.
The feature of the game was'the su

under contract with Billy Smith, but at
present farmed out to one of the Vir

out twenty men, gave one scratch hit,
and gave no bases on bolls.
