THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS.FRIDAY, MAY 31, 2W7. 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.

Sul- Unfortunate; Accidents De lay Preparations For * 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. gatlbn'can be secured from the sporting editor of The Georgian by Horrod Newland, one of Memphis' most JACK EDRINGTON, MEMPHIS. enthusiastic golfers.

Here Is what the Sun Proofs' press agent has to asy: The last game of the first round of The Georgian's Commercial League will be fought Saturday between the Beck Gregg team nnd Pittsburg Plate Glase Company’s Sun Proof team at the G.

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. ■ The scores: First Game, Memphis, Owens, rf. . .
