THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS.THURSDAY, JUNE 6, 190?.
DOPE DOINGS OF A DIZZY DAY IN THE SPORTING WORLD
SPORTING PAGE EDITED BY
PERCY H. WHITING
NOT NEWS, BUT VIEWS
BY PERCY H. WHITING.
The long chase for the pennant is far, far from being over,
but anyway Atlanta is in the lead again, at last.
It took a “considerable spell” to get there. The Hustlers
from Memphis put up a long, hard fight and the row ia only just
beginning
But anyway the Memphis rustlers are “headed” and Atlan
ta is out in front and running strong.
If only luck will hold good Atlanta is certainly on the way
to that pennant.
But it is going to be an awful fight. Billy Smith has the
warmest aggregation in the league—and that remark can be
made with all confidence now, for every team but NewOrleans has
been on exhibition on the local lots and local fans have had a
chance to sec what the other Southern League cities are being of
fered in the way of ball clubs.
Of course nobody has seen the whole league who has not
seen New Orleans, but unless times change mightily this is not
Charley Frank’s year to win the pennant. Ilis team Is not as
good as Atlanta’s, or else the dopcsters are all astray.
This doesn't go to prove, though, that New Orleans can’t
beat Atlanta, and the Crackers will have to hustle some to get
two out of three.
“Hnstling some” is a Cracker specialty this year, however,
and the Pelicans will certainly go the pnee that kills before they
escape from Craekerville.
Judged by the line-up that the Pelicans used in Birmingham
Wednesday, the team must be somewhat knocked sideways.
Manuel and Breitensiein, chiefly famous ns pitchers, were in the
outfield. Ilowetfcr, both are good performers there.
The line-up shows also our old prep school chum, “Scrap
Iron” Beecher, once of Memphis, Inter of the outlaws, and now
a Pelican. Beecher is a “nuturnl ball player” and one of the
best that ever hit the league.
Sabrie, Gatins and Gaston are tlio newcomers on the team.
Atz ia an old hand and so is Matthews, last year of Birmingham.
Matty it catching nice ball now for Charley Frank’s team.
Says the New York Mail:
Another minor league president sees his chance to get his
name In print by knocking the Giants.
This time It Is Mr. Kavanaugh, of the Southern league, and
he Intends bringing a complaint before the national commis
sion against the Giants for the row which happened In Now Or
leans this spring when the Athletlc-Glnnts series was on.
Everybody had forgotten the Incident until the notorlot.v-lov-
lng Southerner dug It up and sent statements te the newspa-
tiers that he Intends asking the national commission to fine
McGraw a thousand dollars Tor disappointing the spectators.
It Is very doubtful whether the commission will consider
Kavanaugh seriously.
Maybe not, but then again maybe no.
That man Kavanaugh ia a scrapper from Trouble Row in
Fightsville, and when he goes on the warpath blood flows. He
never forgets, and if he has been in a losing fight yet it has es
caped our attention. v
These press agents for “Tough Muggsy” give the rest of
the world an awful pain. Their efforts in defense of that tough
customer are pitiful.
It is to be hoped that Judge Kavanaugh will keop right
after this matter and get a good flue soaked ngainst McGraw
and his disreputable team.

Macon Wins
By a Whisker
Special to The Georgian.
Macon, Ga., June 6.—Macon again
won the trophies when she defeated
Columbia In an eleven-inning game
yesterday.
Up until the last half of the ninth
Inning Columbia had the game easily
won. with a score of 7 to 3. Macon,
with two nut and by some hard and
timely hilling, scored 4 runs, tying the
score.
In the tenth neither team crossed the
plate, but In the eleventh, with two
men out. one on base and two strikes
on the hatter, Houston lined one
against right field fence, scoring the
winning run.
Travelers Slaughtered;
Crackers Win With Ease
Billy Smith and hla bunch of ball stole two bases as usual.
toaaers slaughtered Mike Finn and his
Travelers Wednesday afternoon. Score
IS to 1. Buchanan, the gent who pitch,
•d laat Saturday and waa to badly bent-
en, waa again In the rifle pit and to tell
the truth he fared no better than on
. 1 * laat attempt.
.'lie Flrecrackere went after him In
the opening round with hammer und
t- ng*. Wednesday’s battle was a
>'iufhter from atart to finish, At no
: me did Flnn'a team have the ellght-
.t -t chance of winning.
< Castleton, the local slabman. pitch
ed a good game and was steady
'v .roughout the entire battle. The Trav-
* tiers made only four hits oft the local
boy. and they were so widely scattered
that “the Finns” were out of it en
tirely.
Besides pitching a good game Wed
i:tsday, Castleton was right there when
It came to batting, getting two hits
out of three times up.
Last year Buchanan pitched good
ball for tho Nashville team and was
considered one of the best pitchers In
the league. He has pitched twice
•against Billy Smith’s crew this season
and the Crackers have batted him all
ever the lot In each battle.
Buchanan has dono well against oth
er teams and his bad showing against
the Crackers only goes to prove that
Billy’s bunch is much stronger at bat
ting this year than last.
Going back to the game, it may safely
be said that the Crackers played a
Jam-up game of baseball. They but
ted and fielded Itke big leaguer*.
Becker opened the first Inning for
the Crackers by getting hls ba«e on
balls and was sacrificed to second by
Winter*. Smith was out from short to
first and Becker went to third. Jor
dan singled past second and Becker
■cored the first run of the game. On
two hits and an error the Crackers
scored two more runs In that Inning.
In the third Dyer doubled to left and
went to third on a sacrifice hit. Beck
er came up and put the ball to deep
rented for a home run. Winters walked
and scored when Smith double to left.
Psskert singled and Smith scored.
I’askert opened the fifth by being hit
by a pitched bail and scored on Castro's
triple to right. Caatro scored a mo
ment later on a long fly-out to center.
The Crackers scored four more runs
In the seventh on five hits and an er
ror.
Castleton received magnificent sup
port from the fielders Wednesday aft
ernoon. The Crackers played great
Charley Frank and hls famous “rub-
her ball artists” will play the first game
of a series of three this afternoon.
Frank Is a foxy manoger and Billy and
hls bunch will have to play some ball
to win the majority of the games.
It Is very uncertain as to who will
pitch this afternoon, although Rowan
or Hpade will probably do the slab work
for the locals.

Special to The Georgian.
Rutledge. Ga„ June 6.—The Rutledge
baseball club gave her flrat exhibition
on the new ground, yesterday after
noon. and the crowd she used In the
demonstration was Madison. Mndl.on
made the bad mistake of not having
Rube Zeller. Jim Fox. Winter, nnd rt
few other Southern League player,
along to help even up the score. The
majority for Rutledge was 13. Indi
cation* were that If the Rutledge half
of tho last Inning had been played It
would have been "23!" It was a .ad
tale for the Madison bunch to carry
home.
Liked to have been a pluperfect
whitewash, but Rutledge, tired out from
continuous running around the bases,
took a couple of naps, one In the fourth
and one In the sixth, nnd let Madison
get in one run In each of ttieeo Innings.
All the "feature.'' belonged to Rut
ledge, and were the excellent battery
work of Wray and Herren and the tre
mendous rooting of Tater Wallace and
"Uncle Henry" Slurrow.

The weather waa Ideal and the tour
nament the biggest thing ever, out at
East Lake Wednesday, but for all that
It was a day of disappointment* for
the Atlanta golfers. F. G. Byrd, At
lanta's best player, was nosed out of
the qualifying score prise by Lawrence
Eustis by a margin of one stroke; and
the Atlanta team was snowed under by
the victorious New Orleans players In
the chase for the four-team medals.
Atlanta quallfled only two men In tho
flrst flight. They were F. G. Byrd and
H. Clay Moore.
In the second flight Atlanta has W.
P. Hill and P. T. Marye. In the third
flight—the Gate City division—were
placed W. J. Tilson, K. W. Stone and
P. H. Whiting. In the fourth division—
Kennesaw Cup—the Atlanta repre-
aentatlves are Thomaa B. Paine, 8. C.
Williams and Dowdell Brown.
Aside from the fact that the Atlan
tans did act make the showing that
was hoped, the qualifying of the sixth
annual championship was the great
est thing ever.
Exactly 140 men started, as against
32 In the flrst championship and 122
In New Orleans last year, nnd strange
to say almost every player turned In
Ills card.
The get-away from the flrst tee be
gan promptly at 9 o'clock and every
lour or five minutes from that time
fnroward until after 2 o'clock two
players started on their qualifying
round.
The low score prise went to Law
rence Eustis, of New Orleans, for the
third consecutive time. Last year he
won It In New Orleans nnd the year
t.efnro In Savannah. As a medal
player he stands without equal In the
South.
Hls card follows;
Out 3 4 3 7 4 4 4 6 6—41
In 4 6 6 4 5 6 5 6 6-45-86
F. G. Byrd, Atlanta's champion, made
n strong bid for the prise, with a score
of *7. Just one stroke over tho winning
figures. The local man had hard luck
with puts or he would have been sev
eral « yokes better and an easy winner.
