THE ATLANTA GEORGIAX AXD NEWS.FULL)AY, MAY 31,190T. MIKE FINN’S TRAVELLERS MAKE DUBUT ON SATURDAY SPORTING PAGE EDITED BY PERCY H. WHITING 'Mrmwsjm-views IPROBABLY 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 0. 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 as a Kansas cyclone. He has Always had everything that any pitcher ever had and Thursday ho pulled the cork right out and let .Memphis see every curve, twist, I fend and shot in his repertoire. And it was the team's veteran, the James McGuire of the aggregation, who knocked the hit that scored the only run of the second game. And his name is Winters. The reanimated and revivified Travelers from Little Rock, Ark. (by heck I), will arrive Saturday morning and furnish the third bunch of excitement. The fact that Montgpmery handed them a couple Thursday makes them look rather feeble, but don't be deceived. M. Dor sal Finn is right there with the hall club this year and if he doean’t make the fur fly at I’once DeLeon, then it wifi be because .jtfost’of the fur is mud. Marvelous 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, tho result will be that- tho lake will be fished out absolutely and completely in almost no time at all. But goipg back to baseball. Wasn’t that a peach of a double-headerf COMMERCIAL LEAGUERS TO PLAY ON SATURDAY Excitement galore le due tit the.Comr merclal League games Saturday, for undoubtedly tha schedule could not have been better arranged to produce exciting battles. Every manager In the bunch expecte to win. and there will be three very disappointed teams Sat urday night. The Beck & Qregg-Bun Proofs game at the Qeorgla Military Academy grounds will be undoubtedly the best of the season. Carleton Floyd will um pire. The Southern Slates Electric Com- pgny team and the M. Kuta team clinch on the north diamond at Piedmont Park, and promise excitement enough. The Kuti team has a slight lead over the Electricians, hut Manager Clifton has materially strengthened of late. 8. V. Stiles will umpire. The Koca Nolan and the Southern Hallway also prnmlss excitement. E. B. Sykes will umpire that game. Tha M.

Chattanooga, for example, and Ma con, both of which cltle* were counted on for exceptionally large delegations, now announce rather small representa tion, while other cities, such as New Orleans, Memphis nnd Birmingham, seem inclined to send even more dele gates than they were counted on for. nament are ending In a regular whirl of accidents. One lawn mower after another has gone out of commission a week's work on the gasoline roller ended In an explosion which threatened to put tho machine ou* of business for good and did lay It off for a few days. Then other things hap pened. The frost the other night slaughtered a lot of Bermuda grass. The water tank overflowed and carried coating of mud down on the thir teenth putting green. The best horse used In working th? golf course died. And so it has gone. GEORGE OLIVER, BIRMINGHAM. That the delegation of golfers from various parts of the South to the com ing Southern 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. If the tournament had been held two weeks later and at the time when the local club asked for It, the course would have been In considerably better con dition than it will be on Wednesday when the tournament begins. But at that, the local links will be in much better condition than seemed possible a couple of months ogo, and good enough to justify the promise made last fall— that the local course would be the best over which a Southern championship was ever played. A little dope on the Memphis dele gation can be secured from a letter sent the sporting editor of The Georgian by Harrod Newland, one of Memphis' most JACK EDRINGTON, MEMPHIS. enthusiastic golfer*.

SCHRECK AND HART DO KN0CK-AB0UTACT; HART'S SECONDS THROW UP THE SPONGE 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, 2; and Atlanta, 1; Memphis, 0 (ten Innings). 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 cost hint both games. He weakened slightly at the end of the first game and allowed two nice hits by Crackers at a 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 and want safe to first. Then George Winters lilt a smoker which would have been good for four bases except for the fact that Becker canto home with. the winning run and ended the game befor* "Ginger" had reached third. The scoree: First Game. LOCAL TENNIS PLAYERS IN BAD HOLE - WHEN RAIN CAUSES A POSTPONEMENT Special to The Georgian.
