WHITING. "About tho moat Interestlngfeature of the gamo Sunday," saya a staff man writing to The Shrereport Tlraea from Now Orleana, concerning the Sabbath fray between the Pellcana and Pirates, "was the knocking of the New Orleana fans. What a bunch of knockers they are, anyway. The roast was not con- flnod to any ono place. It extended from the the bleachers to the ladles' grand stand. Poor old Dreltenateln, no wonder he fail ed. He did not have a fair start. From tho end of the first In ning until Frits succeeded him, it was a case of ertea of 'Take him out,' ‘He's rotten,' 'Down to tho bush league with him,' and aundry other similar yells. According to the fans of his own town, at least those who attend Sunday games, Frank has a rotten team, but Shreveport people who have seen the Pelicans In action will take exceptlon.to this. One thing certain, New Orleans Is one of the hardest propositions as players we have to face. Tho fans play no favorites. They roast their own team oven hardor than the visitors, especially If Frank's men happen to be losing.” When the writer was “ following trouble through the West” with the Crackers last fall he wrote homo to Tho Geor gian an article somewhat along the line. But he gave another explanation of the phenomenon of the home fans knocking the home team at all times—and the explanation was that there was more betting on gnmes in New Orleans than in any other city. Hence the knocking. Your average bettor is the sourest knocker of them all. Generally ho bets on the home team, and when the home team loses he is soro all over. But after a little he wagers against tho home tenm when he has a hunch in that direction, and then he knocks if tho visitors lose. Too many of the New Orleans fans look on the home'team just ns they look on the horses that porfofrm in the winter whirligig at tho Crescent City tracks—merely as a betting in- • strnmont. They take about the samo sentimental interest in it that thoy would in a roulette wheel of a faro layout. And just so long ns there is a lot of betting on a baseball toam, thcro will be indiscriminate knocking; and ns n rule the thing ends in charges of crookedness and tho allegation that games nro boing thrown. Betting is probably all right in its way. But not on ball games. Press dispatches inform us that the American tennis team which is to represent Undo Sam in England this year, is prac ticing in.socrot. And tho American mania for secret practicing has broken out in a new spot. It seems to us that this is to bo regrettod. Tennis is not a gamo of tricks, complicated team play or any foatures which call for secret practice. In consequcnco it seems rather ridiou- lous for a team which is to perform in England to hold secret practico in America. This secret practice business is somewhat unsportsmanlike anyway, and tho less of it the bettor. The only game in which thore is any justification for it is in football, and it appears to be overdono in that game. The wrestling gang has moved on from Nashville to Chat tanooga and is drawing near to Atlanta. Bet us hope, how ever, that they will not land. This city is not ripe for the wrestling game right now. Reinstatement For Ragan, But a Can For Carl Mitze Special to Tha Georgian.

CRACKERS WIN FROM MEMPHIS AS TO THE GOLF CHAMPIONSHIP At least ICO golfers from nil parts of tho South are expected at the sixth annual tournament of the Southern Oolf Association, which will be played over the Bait Lake coursa of-the At lanta Athletic Club June 0 to 8. last year's tournament at New Orleans over 100 players started in the qualify. Ing round, and with such a central course as Atlanta's the attendance may almost double tho best previous figures. One of the big foatures this year will be tho unueual number of prises which have boon offered and the especial ef fort which has been made to Interest ovsry player In the event. In addition to tho usual three lllghts of sixteen players each, another flight has been added, which will entertain sixteen ad ditional playara; and, moreover, there will be four cups for the losing eight In the first round for each of the cups. The main cups will be Cham pionship, Dixie, Gate City and Kenne- saw trophies and the cupe for the loeers will have those names, with "Juniors" tacked on. Besides, there will be the usual medal for tho lowest score In the qualifying round, trophy tor the club team, prisee In tho handi cap events, trophiss for tho runners-up In the four main eventn and .possibly a few more not already doped out. Tho team cup will go to the club four of whoso players maks the loweat ag gregate score In the qualifying round. Ths program Is os follows: Wednssday, Juno 5—All day, quali fying round. Thursday. June (—Morning, first round match play tor four principal cups; afternoon, second round for four principal cups, first match round for "Junior" cups. Friday. June 7—Morning, semi-final rounds for the eight cups; afternoon, handicap tournament. Saturday, June (—Finals for the eight cupe. . All round, will be 18 boles, except the finals, which will be 3( holes. Tho local course will be In fairly good condition for the tournament. The tees will be perfect, the greens cx- cellsnt and most of the fair green sat isfactory. On several of the fair greens tho grass has only Just started and the lies will be "close." However, all Irregularities will be rolled out and there will be no unplayable Ilea on the course. With all of Its fallings, It will doubt less be the best course over which a Southern championship has over been played. This course was started over a year and a half ago when the Atlanta Ath letic Club ' contracted to buy about 140,000 worth of land at Bast Lake. The holes were laid out by Tom Bend- low, America's leading expert on the game, and he says of tho courae that It Is one of tho best he has ever seen. On this course the staggering aum of (70,000 has already been spent, and no money will be spared In putting It In shape for the tournament. Un doubtedly when finished it will be the most expensive course In the South, os well as the best. A recent official measurement of the course showed Its length to bo 6,571 yards. The longest hole Is the eigh teenth, 525 yards. Boiled down as briefly as possible, the history of tho Southern champion ship follows: First meeting of the Southern Oolf Association held In Chattanooga. Tenn., March 15, 1(01, at which time the or ganisation of tho association was per fected. First tournament held In Nashville, Tenn., June 7 to 10, 1(02. Winner of championship, Albert Schwarts, of New Orleans; runner-up, Percy II. Whiling, of Nashville: winner of con solation cup, J. A. Bayer, of Mont- komery,’Ola. B. II. Baugh, of Bir mingham, won medal for qualifying round. . Second tournament held at Asheville. N. C„ Mny 20 to 24, 1((S. Winner of championship, A. W. Gaines; of Chat tanooga; runner-up, A. D. Edwards, of Dallas, Texas. Robert Davidson, of Chattanooga, won tho Dixie cup. Andrew Munson, of Darien, Oa„ won the medal for tho lowest score In the qualifying round. Third tournament held at Louisville, Ky„ June 10 to 12, 1(04- Andrew Man- sen won the championship, W. P. Hill, of Atlanta, runner-up. Ike Starks, of Louisville, won the Dixie Cup and An drew Mansen the medal for iow quali fying score. Fourth tournament held at 8avannah, On., May 10 to 13, 1(05. Andrew Man- sen against won the championship, ami Noble A. Hardee, of Savannah, was the runner-up. The Dixie Cup was won by H. H. I.urton, Jr., of Nashville, and the Consolation Cup by W. O. Strobhar. of Savannah. Rodman Grubbs, of Louis ville, won the handicap, and Andrew Maneen turned In the beet gross score. Lawrence Eustta won the medal for tho low score In the qualifying round, after a tie with Andrew Maneen. Fifth tournament held In New Or leans. La., 1(06. Championship won by Leigh Carroll, of the Audubon Club « f Now Orleans, Nelson Whitney, runner- up. Lawrence Eustls won tho medal for the lowest qualifying score. W. K. Stauffer, of tho Audubon Club, won the Dixie Cup, Dr. D. D. Saunders, of Memphis, won the Audubon Cup, R. H. Thatch, Jr„ it Birmingham, won the Consolation Cup: The team match was won by the Audubon Club team, of New Orleans. The new Atlanta course Is a long one and tor the flret time In the history of the Southern event n premium will !>e put on a good long game. This will mean' the elimination of a number of stars of post tournaments. The course will offer no handicap to the present champion, Leigh Carroll; and this sterling player will be on hand for the tournament, backed by a New Orleans delegation nearly twenty strong. Over In Birmingham nt least four players are working overtime In an ef fort to clamp down the championship, and Robert Baugh, George Oliver, Will Ward and Robert Thatch have a first- class chance. Memphis will be on hand with a strong delegation and Albert Mallory will be a man to be fenred. So will Jack Edrtngton. Andrew Mansen. though handicapped by the length of the course, will bo ut the tournament and will take a world of beating. On a course that suits hint he has no superior In ths 8outh. Louisville Is expected with a large delegation. It Is understood that the Louisville club will make a strong bid for the 1(08 championship and will ccr- talniy send C. L. Nelson, Ike Hillard and Rodman Grubbs to try for first honors. Nashville, Chattanooga, Savannah. Mobile, Montgomery and Texas clubs are also expected to be on hand with strong delegations. Attsnta has a fair chance at the championship. F. G. Byrd Is now play ing the strongest game of his career and will be a hard man to beat. W. P. HUI and W. J. Tllson are aleo playing great golf and will put In a strong bid. Atlanta expects to enter from thirty to forty men In the tournament and stands a good chance of rounding up some of the leeser prises. tobseco. BQUAItK AM) HONEST Is good, Special to The Georgian.

The two men are Jack Foy, pugi list and Henry Norton, bicycle rider. Foy haa made a food name for him- rdf In the South. He ha. fought and won a number of battles, and In all bis dealings In the pugilistic world he has proved himself to be on the square and a game scrapper. He has never ducked any fight where hie opponent was willing to agree to condition, al lowing fighting all the way through, and In consequence he has disposed of everybody In the South who was will ing to meet Mm. He will now try hie luck around Boston. Norton, though a boy of only 17, has proved himself to be a wonder at bi cycle riding, end promises to follow In the footsteps of Bobby Walthaur. He has hail a good orfer to go to Boston to ride behind pace, and has been prom ised a lot of races. He will, train tor. ten days or two weeks and will then ride hi, first race. League Officials Perform The “Lion and Lamb” Sketch When the lion and the Iamb shall lie down together then the world will be at peace. Thte Is a Biblical Injunction which at present can be applied most appro priately to two officers of the Southern League. They are President William Kavanaugh and Vice President Lowry Arnold. Every fan knows how these two men fought last season. Rubber balls, liars, hypocrite, and almost ev erything else were passed between tbe two men and the paper, were filled with letters of “what Kavvy says about Arnold" and "what Arnold says about k.wy," Now. can It be true that Arnold Is paying President Kavsnaugh a visit in Little Rock? The press dispatches say so. About this time lost season evtry fan was expecting Arnold to hire an an archist to put a bomb under Kava naugh and vice versa. Now, the two fighting parties are quietly sitting un der a tree In Arkansas fishing In tha ,ama brook and practically using tha same bait.
