15 THE ATLANTA GEORGIAS AND NEWS.WEDNESDAY, JUNE 5,190' 1 FANS AND GOLFERS AR PUTTING IN A BUSY WEEK SPORTING PAGE EDITED BY i PERCY H. WHITING 1 ZELLER PITCHES A NO-HIT GAME; TRAVELERS BITE DUST AGAIN Rub. Zeller proved himself the pre mier pitcher of the Southland—If any proof waa necesaary—by twirling a no-hlt game Tuesday afternoon. Only a little tough luck kept It from being a no-hlt, no-run game. Of course, Zeller won. Score 4 to 1. In the first Inning Zeller hit the first man up and walked the neat two, fill ing the bases. A long fly then brought In the. only Traveler run of the day, and for seven Innings which followed only three Travelers faced Kube In each Inning. In the last another was hit by a pitched ball, but he died Igno- mlnlously at first. It was a marvelous exhibition of pitching, one of the best ever seen In Atlanta. Zeller opened up with every curve ever known to man, and he f etched them all the way through, mix- ng up the outfit In fine style. The first run of the game waa made by Utils Rock In the first lanlng. Beck. er, of Atlanta, In the first filed out to center. Winters wea hit In the "slats,” and went to third on a passed ball. Sid Smith singled to center and Winters scored. Atlanta also scored In the second and third. In the second, with one gone, Castro doubled and Dyer hit to Rock- enfeld, who fumbled, and w<s safe. Becker then tripled to center, scoring Castro and Dyer. Sid Smith tripled to right In the third and scored when Jordan singled to center. McCafferty settled down after this and there was nothing doing for the local crew until the seventh, when Atlanta made two more runs on three stolen baees and three hits. The Atlanta In and outfield were all over the big ball park Tuesday after noon. and many a safe drive wag cut off by the fast fielding of the locals. ' Jordan and Castro were the works at second and short. Castro was the real particular star of the afternoon, was full of life and his fielding waa NOT NEWS, BUT VIEWS BY PEBGY H. WHITING. Rube Zeller, no-hit pitcher 1 That Rube is a great performer. Last year he was the strike-out wonder of the league. This year he is tho unhitablo twirler. ' At Rube’s present rate of going he will lead the other pitchers of the league by such a margin that the rest will for get that they ever started. It seems just about impossible to grab those / Memphis Hustlers. They lose now and then. But every time they do Atlanta goes and does likewise. When they win the Crackers win and so it goes. However a break will come sometime. And Atlanta fans are confident that the break will come Atlanta’s way. Big Walker was bumped agaiii Tuesday. This makes about the "steenth” time. Guess maybe Atlanta fans are re covering from the sorrow occasioned by the decision that the big one belonger to the Pretzels. Harry Matthews dropped the game for New Orleans to his old team mates in Birmingham Tuesday and there was rejoio- ing in the Baron camp and especially among the Birmingham newspaper men. There has been a lot of feeling about the Matthews case and a lot of argument as to whether tho Barons or tho Pelicans got the better of it. , "Memphis for 1008." This inscription on a ribbon is being worn by the Memphis delegation to the Southern Golf Association championship and it likewise appears on the ooat-lapels of many of their friends. Memphis and Louisvl)le have a hot fight on for the honor of holding the championship next spring and tho climax comes at the meeting of tho association Wednesday night, when the award will bo made. sensational. The same may be said of Jordan. Castro ran In behind third Tuesday and pulled down a swift (rounder which looked sood for a hit. It was really Dyer's ball, but he failed to stop It and f'astro was .Jahnny-on-the-Hpot. Besides playing a good same Tues day. Jordan was right there In the batting, itut of four times at bat he secured three hits. The Atlanta team played an errorless same. Zeller pitched great ball and deserved a shut-out, but It was not on the pro gram for the day. and so he had to be content with a one-run game. The last game of the series between the Crackers und the Travelers will oc cur this afternoon, and a large crowd of fans Is expected. It Is hard to tell who will pitch today. Rowan or Ford will probably be In the rifle-pit for the locals, though. Tomorrnv Charles Frank and his pet Peltcnns w III come over for a series of three games, and It Is expected that one of the largest crowds or the season will turn out <o see Charley and his celebrated "rubber ball” artists per form.

Stauffer, of New Or leans, and X. R. Clarke, of Mobile, teed up on the first tee of the Atlanta Ath letic Club's East Lake course, swatted the rubber-cored gutta-perchas and the sixth annual tournament of the South ern Golf Association was on In ear nest. At four minute Intervals came the othpr couples, and It will be well Into the afternoon when the last of the play ers are away from the first tee and well started, on the long qualifying round. For the benefit of those few of the uninitiated who happen to read this. It may be mentioned that each man plays eighteen holes, that the man who makes the lowest score wins a cup, that the sixteen lowest players ciuallfy for the right to compete for the cham pionship cup, that the next sixteen compete for the Dixie cup, the next sixteen for the Gate City cup and the last sixteen for the Kennesaw cu- and that the four players from each club making the lowest scores constitute the club’s team and the team With the loweet score wins four handsome gold medals. The arrangement of the starting schedule was made at a meeting of the tournament committee which was held Tuesday night at the East Lake boat house. The drawing was made by lot and all players were forced to take their assignment or go to the foot of the list. By a coincidence four of the best players—Nelson Whitney and Lawrence Eustls, of New Orleans: An drew Manson, of Darien, and Joseph Tllson. of Atlanta—were the last men on the regular schedule and due to start after 1 o’clock. A count of the entries Tuesday night revealed 138, which Is a larger entry list than any other Southern cham pionship has ever had. The New Or leans event last year was the first one to show over 100, and it had only two or three over. Probably a smaller num ber than 138 will start and an even smaller number will ttirn In cards. However, there will be 125 or 130 start ers, and the tournament will be far away the largest ever held by a South ern Golf Association club. One of the Interesting Incidents of Tuesday was the arrival of Leigh Car- roll, of New Orleans, the present Southern champion. It had been feared that Mr. Carroll would not be on hand to defend Ills title, but he arrived about noon. He and Andrew Manson are the onlv plavers present who have held the title, Albert Schwarts and A. W. Gaines, of Chattanooga, not having en tered. Another big event of Tuesday was the professional match played during the afternoon between Bernard Nich ols. of Nashville, and Wilbur Oakes, of Chattanooga, against James Malden, of Atlanta, and Nlcol Thompson, of Bir mingham. The Tennessee pair won by the close margin of one up. after out- lucking the Georgla-Alabama team. Not one of the men was on his game and some of the nutting was weird. A good gallery followed the match and ns a result of a subscription among the golfers about 5150 was split among the ■pros." The cards follow (N. B.

"To think I was so near and yet so far," commented Grapewln. who was playing a matinee at the Casino—across the tracks from the ball park at Ponce DeLeon. "I could hear the shouting of the fans and Imagine the plays, but that was all. I almost forgot my part sev eral times while listening for a shout which denoted a good play. “Say," broke In Craven, "I heard you had a bunch of ball players In your show. As manager-captain of the Fawcett Frenxled Fanatics I will chal lenge you and your team for a game of ball, to be played at Piedmont park any day you will select this week. "All right," said Grapewln, “and we'll get 'Handsome Hugh' Cardoxa to do the 'umplng.' What day shall It be?" '"It's up to you, John Henry,"' re plied Craven, making a noise like a bill board. "Well, between 'Friends,"' quickly retorted. Grapewln, "that should be easy. How 'bout Wednesday?" "We have a maSnee that day," an- Malden. Thompson. Oaks.

"Make It Thursday." "Nothing doing. We have a mntlnce." How 'bout Saturday?" broke In Jesse Couch, assistant manager, of the Ara gon, who had Joined the fans at the table.. "Naw, that won't do. We both play 'mate* on that day.” "Well, how 'bout Friday?” suggested Couch. "No, that won't do." answered Grape, win, slowly. "Friday Is an unlucky day and one of us would be sure to lose." So the game won't be played until the management arranges to have the Tuesday matinee played on Thursday Instead of Saturday. GLOVERS DEFEATED. Special to The Georgian.

The argument# put forward by the Memphis golfers is that their course hss never had a championship, while Louisville has; that Memphis is within easy reach of nil the clubs in the associa tion while Louisville isn,’t; and that their course is a good one while Louisville'a . But they never finish out the last part of the sentence.
