MIKE FINN’S TRAVELLERS MAKE DUBUT ON SATURDAY
SPORTING PAGE EDITED BY
PERCY H. WHITING III
NOT NEWS, BUT VIEWS j PROBABLY BE 130 STARTERS IN CHAMPIONSHIP
BY PERCY H. WHITING.
Well, come what may, the league leaders can't make it
better than an even break in Atlanta. And their" chances of
making it worse look brilliant at this distance.
' Our 7.57 G. M. hunch is that Atlanta will take the last
game or that it will rain.
The baseball extra may tell a different story, but then—.
All honor to Rube Zeller and George Winters.
Also to the rest of the team.
Rube pitched wonderfully good ball for nineteen innings
and finished strong ns a Kansas cyclone. lie has always had
everything that any pitcher ever had and Thursday he pulled
the cork right out and let Memphis see every curve, twist, bend
and shot in his repertoire.
And it was the team’s veteran, the James McGuire of the
aggregation, who knocked the hit that scored^he only run of the
second game..
And his name is Winters.
The reanimated and revivified Travelers from Little Rock,
Ark. (by heckl), will arrive Saturday morning and furnish the
third bunch of excitement.
The fact that Montgomery handed them a couple Thursday
makes them look rather feeble, but don't be deceived. MJIor-
sal Finn is right there with the ball club this year and if he
doesn’t make the fur fly at Ponce DeLeon, then it will be because
most of the fur is mud.
Mnrvelous fish and quite as marvelous fish stories ,are ema
nating from the Atlanta Athletic Club’s 37 gallon fish preserve
at East Lake.
Nothing that comes out of that “only first class water
hazard in the South '’ weighs less than “about four pounds and
a-half” and generally they are larger.
Just one suggestion, though. It is reported that neither
the state nor the club laws regarding the taking of fish are
being observed; and if that is so, the result will ne that the
lake will be fished out absolutely and completely in almost no
time at all.
Ilut going back to baseball.
Wasn’t that a peach of a double-headerf
COMMERCIAL LEAGUERS
TO PLAY ON SATURDAY
Excitement galore la due at the. Com
mercial League games Saturday, for
undoubtedly the achedule could not
have been better arranged to produce
exciting battlea. Every manager In the
bunch expecta to win, and there will
be three very disappointed teams Sat
urday night.
The Beck ft Greys-Sun Proofs game
at the Georgia Military Academy
grounds will be undoubtedly the best
of the season. Carleton Floyd will um.
plrt. ,
The Southern States Electric Com
pany team and the M. Kuta team clinch
on the north diamond at Piedmont
Park, and promise excitement enough.
The Kutt team has a slight lead over
the Elrrtrlclans, hut Manager Clifton
has materially strengthened of late.
S. V. Stiles will umpire.
The Koca N'olaa and the Southern
< Railway also promise excitement. E.
B. Sykes will umpire that game.-
The M. Kuta and Southern Railway
(eanfa play the game which was post
poned from last Saturday on the north
dtamUnit, Piedmont park, beginning at
1 o'clock.
Some,' changes In line-upa and re

\\ eaver. Dukes and Burroughs have
been released.
H«ra are some notes contributed by
the M, Kuta team:
When Mike Winn played In the game
last Saturday he faced a pitcher for
the first time In six yesrs.
Bumstesd and Everett played fine
ball for the Southern.
Evans returned to his old form. No
body walk,<|—that's hts style.:
Lamms will be In the game Saturday

* Tournament.
That the delegation of golfers from
various parte of tho South to, the com
ing Shuthern Golf Association cham
pionship In Atlanta will stack up pretty
close to the original estimate of 130
starters seems to be Indicated by the
recent returns.
Chattanooga, for example, and Ma
con. both of whlcji cities were counted
on for exceptionally large delegations,
now announce rather small representa
tion, while other cities, such as New
Orleans, Memphis and Birmingham,
seem Inclined tq send even more dele
gates than they were counted on for.
The local preparations for the tour
nament are ending In a regular whirl
of accidents.. , qqe, lawn mower after
another, lias gope out. of commission
and a week's work ’on the gasoline
roller ended In an explosion which
threatened to put the machine out of
business for good nnd did lay It off for
a few daye. Then other things hap
pened. The frost the other night
slaughtered- a lot of: Bermuda grass.
The water tank overflowed and carried
n coating of mud down on the thir
teenth putting green. The best horee
used In working the golf course died.
And so"It has gone.
If the tournament had been held two
weeks later and at the time when the
local club asked far It, the course would
have been In considerably better con
dition than It will be on Wednesday
whenr tho tournament begins. But nt
that, the Ideal links will be In much
better condition than seemed possible a
couple of months ago, and goot) enough
to justify the promise made last rail—
that the local course would be the best
over which a Southern championship
was ever played.

SCHRECK AND HART DO KNOCK-ABOUT ACT;
HART’S SECONDS THROW UP THE SPONGE
Tonopah, Nev., May 31.—In addition
to the .feet that the battle between
Schreck end Hart, which occurred here
lost night, was a good one. It was In-
tercitlng"to the rough mlher* that sur
rounded the ring because of the sev
ereness that developed ee the contest
want along.
Apparently Hart end Schrcck ere the
worn of enemies, and they did every
thing but bite end gouge.
Never In a fight was there more talk
1 from one man to another. Each
threw taunts and Insulting remarks
that would have been excuee enough
for a fight in any town. These re
marks Infuriated the men and made
them throw science to the wlndB end
go In and slug.
Hart’s tactics took Schrcck off'hie
feet at first, but he'quickly recovered
anl succeeded thereafter In ducking
Hart’s swings. In the twentieth the
Dutchman went In to finish things.
Hart was on the rope* moat of the time
In this round, and though he came back
gamely, he was "all In" when the gong
— i-
sounded. „ .
At the opening of the twenty-first
Beimels flew at Hart like a tiger, and
Hart was unable to raise hie hands In
defense. Suddenly a towel was llung
from Hart's corner Into tho ring and
George Slier pointed to Schreck as tho
winner.
After the fight Hart's right hand was
examined by a local doctor, who said
that two of the email bones at .the
back of the right hand had been frac
tured. Hart declare* he wante a re
turn match.
CRACKERS COP
BOTH BATTLES
Memphis dropped both games of the
Federal Memorial Day double-header
at Ponce DeLeon Park yesterday after
noon, after as pretty a pair of contests
as you.would see In a thousand years.
The scores .were: Atlanta, 4; Mem
phis, 3; and Atlanta, I; Memphis, 0
(ten’lnnlhgs).
, Rube Zeller pitched both games for
Atlanta and made a truly marvellous
showing.
Bills, who opposed him-all the way,
was wild by spells and these attacks
coat him both games. He weakened
slightly at the end of the first game and
allowed two nice hits by Crackers at u
critical time.
The last game looked like an endless
tie. but with two men down In the last
half, of the tenth, Becker was hit by the
ball nnd went safe to - first. Then
George Winters hit a smoker which
would have been good for four bases
except for the fact that Becker came
home with the winning run and ended
the game before "Ginger" had reached
third.
