20 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. R AC E S JAMAICA.

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 of! In the batting. 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. 1: PITCHING STAFF PROBLEM NOW FULL OF FIERCE COMPLICATIONS With Hoy Castleton added to the Atlan ta team'* pitching staff, the Job of select ing a five-uian combination hn« become, more difficult than It wns a week ago— and then It wna bad enough. Castletou nnd Hchopp, left handers; tel ler, Spade, Hparks, Ford and Itownn, right handers. That Is the present lay-out. Ami that number will hnro to he reduced to five, provided Smith will dispense with a util ity man. and four If he will not. And the reduction must borne before May 10. It might be mentioned, however, that lo cal dope Is that» the utility ninu Idea has been abandoned. Boh Spade, who will doubtless la* retained. Is a first-class man In the outfield nnd fair In the ItiHeld—be sides Indiig u .300 hitter. So, with him on the team, a utility man Is not badly need- "grot.— _._.jK>dy, and ought to make Breltensteln hustle for flrst honors Hoy Castleton, the "ground rent man.” looks pood to overyli Brolt among the southpaws. He wns In the grounds Friday In uniform, aud warmed up with the rest. Castleton has been turned over to Smith hostage, and In return for this con- Last year Castleton was with the Youngstown tenm of the Pennsylvania and Ohio longue, which aggregation won the pennant. He figured ns the fifth pitcher In the league, with only Ebman, Uchettler, Kennedy and Armstrong ahead of him. and one of Ills games wns a no-lilt affair. Ills records were: Hatting—Games 41, at Imt 1 28, sacrltic f ‘ ■ .267. sacrifice hits 6, stolen bases : Fielding—Games 41. put outs 9, assists 8», errors 5; per cent .049. That batting performance was rather re markable for n pitcher. It placed the 190 players during the sen son. Unstleton's home Is In Salt Lake City, nnd lie reached Atlanta March 10 to practice with the Highlanders, nnd pitched Ills first time against the University of Georgia players, allowing them only three hits in five innings. In writing of Castleton, Sid Mercer, the baseball man of The,-New York Globe, said: hero of a no-lilt game last season, nnd Is ambitious to shine lu fast company. He Is willing to learn, and his hnblts are the best "If .

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. In order to assist his hefty swatters In this determination, Billy Smith put the pitching proposition up to Spade, white Johnny Dobbs sent Sorrell In to check the winning of the locals.
