THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. FRIDAY, MAY 3,1907. C £ ACKERS N ashville:—NOW for TROUBLE| L.. | SPORTING PAGE EDITED BY PERCY H. WHITING | NOT NEWS, BUT VIEWS j BY PERCY H. WHITING. With the Atlanta team out on the road the festive fan can turn his attention to the amateur brnnch of the (mute. And there is plenty doing in volunteer branch of the great army of players of the national game. With amateur leagues more numerous thnn ever, the Tech team playing good ball and the unorganized “semi-pros” busier than in years past it looks like a big season with the amateurs: The Georgian’s Commercial League opens its season Satur day afternoon with all the teams playing. Two of them will hold forth on the diamonds inside the Piedmont Park race track and one at Gammage Crossing. The season in this league promises to be even more success ful than the one last year when six teams fought a good fight for The Georgian’s pennant. The present league is made up of three of last year’s Com mercial League teams and three newcomer^. The John Silvey team, which won the pennant last year, is not in the aggregation this season, but the strong M. Kutz, Bcek & Grogg and Coca-Nola (formerly the West End Stars) teams are lined up and ready for the flag fall. Tho league this year has the advantage of being better or ganized than last year’s league and of being officered by men of moro experience in conducting such organizations. All the managers in the league seem to have only tho best interest of the organization at heart and it looks as though the season would go through smoothly. Just, a word of suggestion to the teams of this league and to all amateur teams. Play decent balL Don’t row with the umpire. If you can’t win by fair means then lose. Obey the playing rules and tho leaguo rules. Don't squabble. Remember that the umpire is human and probably he is do- ingihis best. Whatover happ ens don’t come to blows. Remember you aro only playing for a tenth or fifteenth interest in a piece of bunting and jt isn’t worth a fight. ■*’’ Give the other team credit for being gentlemen. Don’t knock the managers. Don’t roast your team mates or your opponents in your tvrite-ups of the game. We will not print it anyway. Let tho team captain make the complaints to the umpire. 'And see that ho does it in a gentlemanly way. If you win, win gracefully. Don’t crow. Don’t try to rub it in. And if you lose, do it the same way. Don’t blame the um pire or the grounds. Don’t be too badly disappointed if you don’t win the pen nant. Remember that only one team can do that. And whatever comes, play hard and fair. FIRST GAMES FOR ALL TEAMS SATURDAY Reserve Lists All in and Teams Look Very Strong. Good Games Looked For Saturday in First En gagements. R. CASTLETON WINS ANOTHER Whether It was from a sentimental desire to win the last same on the home (rounds or whether It was just on general principles may never be known, but anyway, Billy Smith ran his only lert-handed pitcher—Castle- ton—back against .the Barons' band of left-handed hitters and again tho Crackers won a nice victory, this time by a score of I to 1. The Ground Bent Man pitched well all the way and-though he woe hit often he was never hit for extra basos and he kept the blngles woll scat tered. Good support pulled him through and the game waa a bummer. Wilhelm pitched nice ball but a little hard luck In the second beat him.

GEORGIA WINS FROM AUBURN Special to Tbs Georgian. University of Georgia, Athena, Ga.,' May I.—Georgia defeated Auburn on Herty Held Thursday afternoon In tho first of three games by the healthy score of 7 to 0. Sam Weems, Auburn's all-Southern pitcher, went Into the box for tho Alabamians and did very well until the sixth Inning, when the varsity fellows let onto him and five runs were scored, two having been already tallied In tho third. The next Inning M. WeoinH, his younger brnthor, succeeded him nnd In the two Innlnge only one hit was made off his delivery. Captain Brown, of Georgia, was easily the etar of the occasion, lining out a triple and a double off Sam Weems. Georgia pulled off two double playe that wero the real thing—ono from Martin to Cobb and the other from WII- llame to Derrick. Redfern pitched a great * game for Georgia, allowing only fivo hits and having ten strikeouts to his credit. The two Weems struck out four men and gave up ten hlta.

Athena, Ga., May 3.—The University of Georgia baseball team returned the early part of the week from lie Northern trip. Considering the fnst company In which the Georgia team traveled, the eup- porters of the "Red and Black” think Georgia made a very creditable show ing. The flrit game on the trip was with Clemson. Georgia took this game, 2 to 0, and both of Georgia's runs were homo run*. Then Lexington, Va., was Invaded and Georgia Joined battle with Washington and Lee. This was a twelve-inning affair, neither side scor ing for eleven and one-half Innings. Although Oeorgta lost this game. It waa by all odds the banner game nt the trip. A game’was scheduled for the HARD BATTLES FOR SEWANEE Sewanee, Tenn.. May 8.—The great est games of the season for Sewanee are at hand. Vanderbilt comes up the mountain Friday nnd Saturday of this week and close games are expected. Love and Inglts will probably do the twirling for Vanderbilt and Williams and Watkins for the home team. Columbia Cans Chris Heisman AUSTELL SHUT OUT. Special to The Georgian.

Georgia then went on the national capital and walloped George Washing ton University, but the tables were turned next day. for the ’’Middles” s Annapolis downed the "Red and Black. From there the team went down to Charlottesville, bat unfortunately lost out there In two hard-fought games. In every game the members of the team - played well together and the pltchera worked like veterans. Frank Foley seems to have a shade the better record oa a pitcher so far this season, but the others arc keeping him hust ling. Auburn comes Thursday to Athens for three games. Foley will most prob ably be on the firing line for Georgia In the opening battle. With anything like good luck Georgia ought to annex two of these games. TOURNAMENT FOR Y. M. C. A. T. R. Weems, secretary of the Y. M. C. A. Golf Club, announces that there will be another golf tournament on the Piedmont park golf course Saturday afternoon. The. prizes are: First, five golf halls; second, a golf stick; high score, one golf ball. Those members of the club who'ln- tend to play are asked to call -up Mr. Weems at 1085, either 'phone. Well, the Crackers left on their first long road trip with a alight lead over Memphis and a safe lead* over every other team In the league. Where, oh where, will they be on their return? If every game on the noad la aa well played as Thursday's the Crackers will he farther In the lead when they make their first appearance at Ponce DeLeon than they were when fhey made their last bow at old Piedmont. Castleton la still at the top of the pile among Southern League pitch- era, with the nice average of 1.000. The Mormon pitched a great game Thursday—not quite »o good perhaps as his first ony. when he stowed the Barons away with 4 hits. But., anyway, he held them sdfe In every Inning but the first and eighth. In the former the Bar ons made their only run and in the latter fancy work in Atlanta's out field saved the Smiling southpaw. Dyer. Fox, Ffiskert and Castro figured In Atlanta's run-making. Dyer walked In the second and Fox doubled, sending him to third. Then Paskert and Castro In quick succession filed out to left field. On the first out Dyer scored and Fox advanced to third and on the next one Fox scored. After that, one hit an Inning was the limit off Wilhelm, except In the eighth, and In that session two blngles netted nothing but a goose egg. However, the tvfn runs which were put over In the second were enough to win the game. Winters’ two-bagger In the fifth would have been n three-sacker at lcnat if Gardner had not chased after the ball, outrun It. caught It In one hand as It was sailing for the fence and fielded It home In great style. Sid Smith's single In the third was a lucky one. It dropped over back of shortstop and reached the ground with Oyler. Gardner and Molesworth all trying for It and Alcock and Walters hovering In the vicinity and ready to grab It If they had been given plenty of roorm The fourth Inning saw three, fielder's choices made In succes- »lon. Dyer opened the Inning with a single. Then Fox. Paskert and Castro In succession hit grounders to the Infield and nothing more happened. Jim Fox's two-bagger In the sec ond was a Texas Leaguer and only daring base-running gave James the Long moro than a single bag on It. Birmingham's only run came on a double steal. Aleock opened the second spasm with a single, ad vanced to second on a sacrifice and to third on Walters' single. Then they worked It. .^ Wa J t ?, r '’ ,ed .7 fty off first and the ball was thrown to Jordan Otto chased Lew back toward first but he chased too far. Alcoi?k watched him closely and by i quick sneak, he stole home, otto threw to head him. hut the ball reached Sid Smith too late. Atlanta tried the double steal i n the third, but did not succeed in getting away with It. When Jim Fox came to bat In the sixth Molesworth, who Is field can- tain of the Barons, dropped hack almost against center field fence Castro, who was on the coachlnr line, began to yell, “Get a captain Get a captain. Look where he n Help! Help!" But Moley'a Judgment was all to the good, for he hardly had to move out of his tracks to get the fly Jim sent to the fence. The Birmingham fielders could not get on to the peculiarities of the third-base line. Twice they waited for easy grounders to roll foul and both times they stayed fair and the, runner waa safe at first. When It comes to having a line of talk our friend Lee Garvin Is close behind his old team mate Louis Castro. “Come here. Gloves." he yelled to Mltze, when the pitchers were warming up before the game, "and do some of this work. I’ve caught seventeen straight games and I think I'm tired. Come here, vou college graduate. I graduated from the Keely Institute myself, but never mind.” ■ "Good-bye, boys,” yelled Garvin, when he walked to the Barons' bus after the game. "I'll be back In July—If I don't get found out.” Meeks, the .300 hitter, dropped to a .380 men before the mighty curves of Castleton. The first time up he couldn't get the ball outside the diamond, the next two times he fanned and the fourth time, though he singled, the ball was such an easy one that Paskert threw C. Smith out at third. That eighth Inning was a pecu liar one. Birmingham batters drew a base on balls and made three hits, but could not score. It happened thusly: Moleeworth, the first man up, walked. Carlos 8mlth followed with a perfect bunt, which Castleton fielded perfectly, but the runner was safe at first before Fox got the ball. Gardner, the third man up, hit a fielder's choice and Molesworth went out at third from Castleton to Dyer. Then Meeks singled and Carlos Smith went out at third from Pas*, kert to Dyer. Alcock immediately followed with another single, which Spade trapped on the short bound and threw so well to the plate that Gardner died In his attempt to score.
