TIIE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. SATURDAY, APRIL 27. 1907.
DESPITE DUBIOUS WEATHER SPORTS KEEP BUSY
SPORTING PAGE EDITED BY PERCY H. WHITING
NOT NEWS, BUT VIEWS
HOW’S THIS FOR A COLLECTION?
>••••••••••••<
BY PERCY H. WHITING.
Has anybody noticed that Atlanta is still leading the league?
Haven’t heard anything Baid about it lately.
The Crackers, for once in a way, have got a good start. And
they got it with a stove-up team.
Of course the Crackers had the advantage of two series
against “them dubs” but their other games have been against
Nashville, formerly a first division team, and Birmingham, last
year’s pennant winners.
Now listen to this, from Birmingham papers:
Tbe Ledger was the first paper in the league to say that the
Montgomery fans would not stand for another "punk'' team. It
also said that It was propalile that Chattanooga or Mobile would '
break Into the Southern league. Watch The Ledger and see If It
don't say '"I told you so.”
Just about three more defeats and Montgomery fans will
throw up the sponge. Who can blame them? They have the rot-
tenest team In the league,. or any other league, for that matter.
—Ledger.
If Birmingham should win too many games In Montgomery
on this trip, look out for the Montgomery franchise taking a walk.
Just a word about that franchise matter. That Montgomery fans
are not going to support a losing team has been proven. If the
team representing that city does not pick up and win some
games, developments may prove there Is more truth than poetry
In the removal of the franchise.—News.
Now if the writer of this column was warned to keep out of
Montgomery if he didn't want his life blood spilled and if the
warning came because he said that Birmingham people thought
that Montgomery might give up her franchise if the attendance
did not pick up, what do you suppose would happen to Messrs.
Mooney and Mullin if they happened into Ennuiville.
It’s a wonder to me that the Pretzel fnns let that pair stay
in the state.
The Birmingham team will be over for a trimming on Mon
day and then look out for strenuosity.
As has been remarked before, the Barons have a crack
ing good team. Their infield may be a bit wobbly—which it
sometimes is, but their pitching staff is all there and the outfield
is about as good as any in the league.
The Barons are going to be near the top ut the end of the
season and the Cr/ckers will have to look out that they do not
advance at Atlanta’s expense.
However, just now the Atlnata players are prettv firmly
intrenched at the top of the column and they will probawly stay
there for a while—at least until they pull out of Nashville for
Memphis and the Par West. It is almost too much to Vdpc that
they can hold the lead during that long trip into the enemy’s
country, nod we may as well begin to prepare for the worst. But
with anything like an even break on the road the Crackers will
put an awful dent in the pennant race during that next long
stay at home.

LOCOMOTIVE
BLEW UP AT
HIGH SPEED
St. Louta, Mo., April <7.—Three train
men were killed today near O'Fallon,
Mo., which la near to St. Charles, when
the boiler of a Wabash locomotive ex
ploded. After the explosion pieces of
the engine and tender were found 159
feet from the track.
The men killed were: Engineer Pnul
Kllnsrd, Fireman Frank Appleby,
Brmkeman George E. Brown, all of
Moberly, Mo.
Nick Dessert, conductor, was bsdly
j Standing of the Clubs.
JOHN WAGNON.
Wagnon, when last heard from,
was doing the utility stunt for Au
gusta. When the Augusta team
was In Atlanta he played first—
and about the “glngerlest" first on
record. He locks polish as a field
er, but seems to be a comer.
MURDOCK.
Murdock is playing center field
for Macon at present, and leading

NASHVILLE TAKES LAST
GAME OF THE SERIES
"COUNT" CASTRO.
Here la a life-like Imitation of
"Count” Castro, with Sid Smith
In the background.
Just at present tbe Count Is
playing the kind ob ball that put
him In the major leagues, and If
he keeps the stride he has hit he
will doubtless rank as the best
shortstop In the league this year.

Last year Castleton was with the

IT'S FIGHT OR STARVE FOR GANS
By TAO.
New York, April 24.—"The old master." Joseph Gan., of Baltimore.
Md., seems to be between two Ares at the present time. Joe hns blown
his roll and In loo kins for a big purse he naturally turns toward the
Danish gent from Hegewlsh, who has a manager by the name of Nolan.
Bald Nolan understands that Gans la flat. Said Nolan wanta the
money a. much aa Gana does, but also wants his man to light at the,
weight beet for hltn. He demands that Gans weigh 133 pounds with his
shoe, and gloves on In the ring.
At flrst Gans made strenuous howls, but It whs on* thing or the oth
er. joe had to either go around with a very thin seat on his pants or
elsa accept the weight this gentleman demanded.
For a champion of the world, these are certainly hard lines.
COTTON STATES WEATHER NO BETTER
THAN SOUTHERN LEAGUE ARTICLE
Class D People Have
Had Only Two Good
Days As Yet.
By Bernla McCay, Manager.
Mobile, Ala., April 26.—Down here
In the cotton etates there Is going on
an almost dolly bottle between old
Jupiter Pluvlus and the magnates. And
right now "Old Jup". has the best of
the argument nnd his team Is leading
the league quite a few points. It Is
now fourteen days since the season
opened and tve have hod Just two days
suitable for baseball, although we have
managed to ploy eleven games. It
seems to me I have heard on old say
ing which sounds something like "The
Bunny South," and 1 have also read
about “an Oregon mist," but 1 um fain
to confess that I think the legions of
Old Jupiter, "missed Oregon und hit
Alabama." . . .
But, for all that the weather has been
so bad- as to make the dlamons look
like mud pies, the fans In this section
of the country have been treated to
some warm baseball.
1 have no hesitancy In saying that
the Cotton States League this year Is
faster thnn ever before, and I believe
there are nt least four teams which are
faster than last year’s pennant win
ners. .
Another pleasing feature of this sea
son’s race Is the competent and fear
less staff of umpires that President
Compton has signed. Brady and Mc-
Kensle. of last year's staff, and Lee
Dnwklns, the newcomer, are all sea
soned officials, who know their busi
ness, and are capable of maintaining
order on the ball Held, as well as Judg
ing the plays In a fair. Impartial man
ner.
This year. President Compton has
been vested with almost exar-llke
power to deal with any difficulties or
differences likely to arise and, with
his well known nnd heretofore demon
strated fairness nnd good JudgmenJ, It
Is hoped that this season will be de
void of any such useless squabbling as
took place In this league-last year.
Every team has about settled upon
Its line-up and there will be feu-
changes from now on. The time limit
dor cutting down to the limit of thir
teen men has been extended to May 1.
Heine Bush, the old Montgomery
shortstop, has been signed by Merid
ian. Heine held on a long time with
Montgomery and If he could hit a little
better would be there yet, as his ability
to field has never been questioned.
Bill Brunner, one of my pitchers, has
taken unto himself a wife, and the
They Are Playing Fast
Ball, Though, In Spite
of Old “Jupe.”
best wishes of all who know him are
tendered to him, and his lifelong help
mate.
BUI Is quite a schemer as he demon
strated by a piece of strategem he
worked when he left here to get mar
ried. He asked for a day's leave of ab
sence so he could go to Meridian after
his wife, and It was granted, although
at the time l thought It strange that
■he could not travel from Meridian to
Mobile without Bill going after tier.
Brunner had made out that he was al
ready married, so you can Imagine the
surprise of his friends when the an
nouncement of his marriage was seen
in the paper the day following his de
parture for Meridian. Then Just to
■how the fans that married life agreed
with him, he pitched against Vicks
burg the next day and won his'own
game with a two-base hit.
' It la raining so hard outside that my
r ncll Is blotting the paper so I guess
will dlscoAtlnue until there Is more
news of Interest te write about.
With two out of the three games to
their credit the Atlanta bunch of ball
swatters went up against the visitors
from Nashville In the fourth and last
game of the series Saturday afternoon.
Having recuperated so. rapidly from
the shocking defeat administered by
the men of Johnny Dobbs In the flrst
game as to take the next two by satis
factory majorities, the local squad went
Into the fray Saturday with a strong
determination to drive any pitcher who
faced them back to the tangled brush.
