I THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. MONDAY, MAY 6. 1907. SPORTING VOLCANO IS NOW IN FULL ERUPTION 1 SPORTING PAGE EDITED BY PERCY H. WHITING [ NOT NEWS, BUT VIEWS BY PERCY H. WHITING. A little hard luck. Who ever heard of a one-hit game lost! Well, that was it Don’t blame Castro. His error caused the trouble, but overy player makes his errors and Castro’s have been notably infrequent these days. It was tough to lose, but it couldn’t be helped, and as for blaming Castro—well, if the rest of the team had hit as well as usual the one run his error let in would not have been so costly. Speaking of that, it seems to most fans that the rule which allows a man to score on a play like the one which beat Atlanta Saturday is not entirely fair. What happened was this: In the third inning a wobbly ball was hit down by Wise man to Castro. Castro could uot get a good grip on it and when .he threw it. it soared over Jim Fox’s head. Back of first base on the Nashville grounds is the house in which are dressing rooms of the home team. Around this is a wire fence. The wild throw went over this fence and into the crowd gathered there. The umpire allowed Wiseman to score, though the ball was returned to the grounds in time presuma bly to accomplish the put out. Somehow this doesn’t look like a square deal, nnd would not if the luck had favored Atlanta instead of the opposing team. It is as though there were n small niece of ground up in the corner of the fence over behind first base on the Atlanta grounds and a sign up saying: “ If a wild throw gets inside this inclosure the base runner can go as far as he likes." Of course it is perfectly true that it is as fair for one team as it is for the other, but that’s a poor excuse for a poor rule. Maybe we take a wrong view of this rule, but if wc do wo should appreciate some enlightenment. - And thnt fatal error was made after two were out. The superstitions will point hgain to the fact that Atlanta always has hard luck winning her thirteenth game. To which we only remark "bosh!’' If there was over n team in a regular league which did not score her thirteenth win before the sea son was over we should like to hear about it. For it would be worth a story. * Can it be thnt those Dobbers will really bear watching in this pennant race? It will be hard to tell before they have played through the Western end of the circuit. But right now they appear to be the second most strenuous proposition in the East. Modesty forbids our mentioning the most strenuous prop osition. Two games in Nashville—and then Memphis. Those West Tennesseans are going to be very t-oublcsomo this year and they “have it in” especially for Atlanta. However, their pitchers are weaker even than last year as far as can be judged now, and Atlnnta has the advantage of having a first class left hnuder to send against them in one game. HERE IS AMERICA’S BEST BUNTER WILLIE KEELER. Keeler Is the country's most sci- entltlc batter and a wonder at lay- •Ins down bunts. Long years of practice and the continued use of an excellent noodle have combined to make him a terror to pitch— era. He gets over to first safely on about as many bunts as any player In tho American League. After Memphis comes Little Rock. And the Travelers nro "it" this year. Mike Finn has a team that is a team; and the Crackers will escape lightly with nn even break. Over in Shreveport the sailing is not likely to be as smooth ns might be suspected from the position of the Fish eries in the lenguc standing. The 8hrovo|>ort team has had more than its share of hard luck nnd has been losing games by very close margins. With n long series ahead of her at home, look out for a rise in the Pirates’ stock. After Shreveport comes New Orleans. But what’s the use of going that far into the future look ing for trouble! TOUGH LUCK FOR ZELLER Rube Allows Nashville One Hit But Game Is Lost On Error. Special to The Georgian. Nashville, Tenn., May (.—The Nash, vllle baseball management secured liiore than ordinary satisfaction out of the defeat of Atlanta Saturday after noon by tbs score of 1 to 0. Here Is PRETZELS MAY LAND WILSON y Quit Saloon to Twirl—Nyo Back in Game. Special to The Georgian. Montgomery, Ala.. May (.—It Is re ported, though not from an authorlta- live source, that Frank (Zeke) Wilson, the ex-Cleveland, New Orleans. Atlanta and Montgomery twlrler, will pitch the opening game for the Legislators when they reach Montgomery after their western trip. Nye, who has been at home for some time with a sprained ankle, will Join tha Legislators today at Birmingham, and may be In the game, covering sec ond base, his old poaltlon. This will throw Baxter, the 8L Louis boy, on first. Tbs outfield Is working so splendldly that McCroesIn. the Altoona boy. may not even be given a try out. He Is now with the team, but has not yet played la a single game. b NAT KAISER ft CO. CONFIDENTIAL LOANS ON VALUABLES. IS 0«e.'.ur St. Kimball Hous-> Bargains in Unredeemed Diamonds. the reason: When Castro was traded there went up a long and loud wall from many of the local fans over what they con sidered a dire calamity and the local management was roasted extensively for the aforesaid trade. Some of the enthusiasts swore the club had traded off the beet man they had. Howhver. that may be. it la not hard to realise that those who made the Castro deal got a lot of vindication Saturday when the traded player threw the game away for Atlanta. Manager Billy Smith of Atlanta doea not see It that way, however, as he fig ures it was Just one of those unfortu nate thlngi that wui occasionally hap pen In the beat regulated ball game. "I would rather have him than any •hnrtatop In the Southern league; that's what I think of him," declares Billy Smith. The game Saturday was a hummer, full of brilliant fielding In which Mc Cormick. Persons and Dobbs, for Nash, vllle, and Spade, for Atlanta, starred. Zeller had a shade the better of Sorrel In the pitching line and only yielded one safety.

Either Spade or Sparks will work for Atlanta today, and In Tuesday', game Manager Smith will eend Castle, ton In to try his hand. "He look, good to me.” says Billy Smith. Johnny Duggan will likely work to. day for Nashville, and another great game should be witnessed. "Nashville seems to be a well hal. anced team," aaya Billy Smith, "and should make a good showing In the race this season. The Boosters win d 0 It. too, If their pitchers hold up all right. You take a well balanced team and then have good pitchers, too, and you come mighty near getting some re. suite." Standing of the Clubs. GAME AT NASHVILLE, GA. Special to The Georgian.

The.winners were the.Beck ft Gregg teem, the 8uu Proofs and the M. Kuts team. Two games ware played at npdmont park. Inside the race track anil both were well contested. The Beck ft Gregg-Southern States Electric game was especially close, but the playing In each was brilliant In the extreme. Both games passed off with entire smoothness. The umpiring was sat isfactory nnd the conduct of the mem bers of all the teams was above re proach. The game at Gammage Crossing was a hummer from the go and though somewhat of a slaughter, both teams reported that "a large time was had/ ported that "a large time was naa. Little can be told of the strength of any of the teams by one series of games, but It Is evident that three win ning teams have strong aggregations and that all three of them will be lisard from often before the end of the sea son.
