THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. MONDAY, JUNE 17,1907.
NOT NEWS, BUT VIEWS
After pulling- through a hard week on the road the Crack-
era opened the last week of the Western trip with a nice victo
ry. Memphis won too, bnt Atlanta has a strangle-hold on the
lead and is still in front.
The way the Babblers are holding on, though, ’is moat
nerve-wearing.
Don't overlook one thing during the next week. The Crack
ers have been playing second division teams thus far through the
West.
Of course Little Rock and Shreveport are undoubtedly
stronger than at least one team which finished in the first di
vision last year, but for all that they ure disorganized and de
moralized now.
This is not said to belittle in any way the marvelously
good showing made by the Crackers.
This is just a gentle reminder that during the present week
Atlanta goes against the two teams which are now occupying
second and third places in the league race.
Of course it is highly probable that Atlanta may win a ma
jority of these games.
But don't be discouraged if they don't. Beating the Peli
cans in New Orleans and the Babblers on their own “turtle-
back” are strenuous propositions and if the Crackers don’t ac
complish it, it is no sign that they are not going to win the pen
nant.
Memphis won Istth Saturday and Sunday’s games. Stock-
dale handed it to the Pretzels Saturday and Crystall did the
same thing Sunday—scores 4-2. and .‘1-2.
The Barons tackle Babb’s team Monday. Tuesday and Wed
nesday of this week. Here is hoping that the only friends At
lanta has in the league will do us a good turn and win a couple
of those games.
Down in Pelicanville the Crackers will do their best to win
three straight games but will be very well satisfied with two
out of throe.
Unless memory-fails it was during Atlanta's second trip to
New Orleans last year that the Crackers were lucky to escape
with their lives. Let's hope that things break better this trip. '
The Barons certainly h.\mlcd it to C. Frank Sunday, beating
him a double header. Tin- first game was a shut-out and the
second went to the Barons 4 to 1.
However, the Dutchman’s team won both games of Satur
day’s double header from Vaughn so il was an even split. Any
Eastern team that gets that in New Orleans does well.
Philadelphia hatted Liebbardt out of the box Saturday.
However, such things happen to the best of them now and then.
And surely “Dutchy” is in that class.
Raymond’s Return Will
Strengthen Charleston
Special to The Georgian.
Charleston, 8. C., June* 17.—The
Charleston baseball team has missed
"Bugs” Raymonds since he has been
In Chicago. The team has been play
ing Indifferent hall, but has not fallen
down much In the percentage column.
There Is Joy In the camp of Matthews,
however, because Raymond Is expected
for tomorrow’s game with Ha van nail.
He has wired ”!t Is a boy,” and of
course expects to pitch better ball than
ever now. Raftery, Meuny, Johnson.
Ever* and Relslnger continue to lead
the Sea Gulls In batting, the first -
named batter being In the .300 class.
Finn Puts Over
Several Deals
Little Rock, Ark., June 17.—Manager
Mike Finn, of Little Rock has an
nounced that he has sold Pitcher Buch.
anan to Oklahoma Pity In the Western
Association and that Pitcher Wheeler
and Catcher Kunkle had been sold to
Columbus. In the Cotton States League.
Woods, the new catcher secured by
Finn a few days ago, has been appoint
ed field captain.
AUTO WENT FAST. BUT
BROKE NO SPEED LAW8
Probably the fastest time made In
the shipment of any automobiles was
a Pope-Toledo which was shtp|>ed from
the Pope Motor Car Co.. Toledo, Ohio,
to Cassius F. Raker, Atlanta, Ga.
The car left the factory May So for
Cincinnati, where It was switched and
aent to Atlanta. The car arrived at
Atlanta May 27, Just about two weeks
ahead of time. The distance between
Toledo and Atlanta ta about 700 miles.
Paige and Mills, new catchers, have not
done much Imttlng. Raymond has
swatted only .109.
Charleston continues to hold the rec
ord for errors In the league, and the
following figures of runs, hits and
rors Inclusive of Thursday’s games

CHAMPION PIE EATER OF WORLD
PITCHES TODAY AGAINST PELICANS
NOTES OF THE GAMES
Special to The Georgian.
JCew Orleans, June 17,—The local Pel
icans will probably be called on today
to face "Rube” Zeller, Atlanta's star
plteber.
The ('rurkfru arrived In the city from
Shreveport this morning, and the most
direct news that could be obtained
from Billy Smith waa that the cham
pion pie-eater of Georgta—which Is
virtually of the whole world to their
own way of thinking—would twirl the
elusive sphere In the opening game.
Against the big Reuben old Bill Phil
lips will doubtless make his first ap
pearance of the laat eight days.
Should the managers change their
minds they have these reserves to fall
back on:
Atlanta—Castleton and Spade; New
Orleans, Frits.
The, weather Is good.

Shreveport, I^a., June 17.—It seemed
more or less of a shame to do it, but
Atlanta certainly handed a couple of
bundles to the Shreveport team at the
close of the Trackers’ visit to this burg.
On Saturday the Tracker* Just nat
urally punptured "Red” Fisher's deliv
ery and won 8 to 1. On Sunday they
handed the same Identical package to
nsklll, the man who Is giving Rube
Zeller the harde*t fight In the race for
first pitching honors of the league.
Saturday's game was a loud shriek.
The Pirates pulled off six errors and
gave an exhibition of "how baseball
should not be played" that has seldom
been equuled on a local diamond.
While all this was going on, the At
lanta team played errorless ball and
Castleton was putting ’em over In his
usual efficient style. Henson, of Oska-
loosa, Iowa (pipe that name), made his
debut In Saturday’s game and made the
usual "favorable Impression.”
Sunday's game was a double and
twisted cinch for the Trackers at all
times, In spite of the fact that Gas-
kill, supposed to be the best pitcher In
the league next to Zeller, was In the
box. He lasted a while, but his stom
ach turned at his support, or the de
cisions. or something, arid he left pre
cipitately and made way for Llttld
Hickman. This dlmlutlve twlrler fin
ished out a good game, hut It was all
the had before he started.
The Shreveport players kicked a lot
at the decisions, but not much atten
tion was paid to this. Umpire Rudder-
ham’s eye may have been a bit off, but
for all that he Is known to be strictly
on the square and the best umps In the
league.

Gasklll’s chance* of disputing the
title of "best pitcher In the league"
with Rube Zeller are rather slim as
long as Shreveport Is putting up the
class of ball which It has exhibited
lately. To Judge from dispatches, he
quit cold on Sunday.
What’s the matter with Shreveport?
The team looks like a good one and
Tom Fisher looks like Just the boy to
manage (t. Warrender and Daley are
two of the beat outdeldera In the
league, Massing Is a good man In the
field-or behind the bat. Clark. Lewee
and Carr are good inflelders, King Is a
fair utility man, Grafflus Is a depend
able sort of a catcher and the Shreve
port pitching staff Is a first-class one.
Gaskill. "Red" Fisher a-nd Hickman are
stars of the brightest kind.
If Fisher can ever get all his men In
good condition and "going good," look
out for a sudden rise. For he certainly
has the material all there.
Ford’s many friends in Atlanta were
glad to see him do well against Shreve
port. No fan could see this chap pitch
without being Impressed favorably. He
handles himself like a pitcher, ha* a
good head and world* of steam. Rome
way he has not been effective this year
but everybody who know* him wants
to see him make good.
The "umpire-robbed-u*” howl which
emanated from Shreveport after Sun-
day’s game sound* familiar someway—
as though we had heard It before
Pretty poor excuse that.
Sid Smith aeema to be back In hi*
hitting stride. For awhile it looked as
though Sid would not get anywher*
near hi* 1906 record this year, but now
he is going well again. Castro mads
four hits in the last two games and
Paskert made two In Saturday’s game.
We learn from the Birmingham pa
pers that the Atlanta team Is going to
get a big bonus for winning the pen
nant.
This was the first Atlanta had heard
of It. Funny, how* slow we are in get
ting onto our own news.
The directors of the baseball asso
ciation deny this rumor, but then they
must be wrong.

The race for The Georgian’s pennant
In the Commercial League took on a
familiar aspect after the close of the
games Saturday for the Beck and
Gregg team won from the M. Kutx
team and Is again in the lead.
This rattling aggregation of ball
players won handily from the Kutx
team and It will take fast work to beat
them out of the pennant.
The other games turned out about
as expected. The Southern State a
Electric Company and the Sun Proofs
on In handy style.
More extensive write-ups of the
gumes follow:
BECK A GREGG WINS.
The Beck & Gregg baseball team de
feated the M. Kutx team Saturday aft
ernoon at College Park and Is
leading The Georgian’s Commercial
League. The score of the game was,
Beck & Gregg 7, M. Kutx 4.
The two teams played great ball for
amateurs, and both showed up In good
style. Garwood, of Beck & Gregg, and
Lamina, of M.. Kutx, both pitched good
ball, the former giving up only two
hit*.
Only one hit had been secured off
Garwood up to the ninth inning, when
Lamina, of the M. Kutx team, knocked
a corking three-bagger to left field.
Lamina’s hit did no good, however,
the side was retired before any runs
resulted.
Beck & Gregg and M. Kutx both
worked hard for Saturday's game, and
the former won after a hard tussle.
The umpire gave a close decision at
second base Saturday afternoon In fa
vor of the Beck * Gregg team and It
wa* said that the M. Kutx team would
protest the game. Nothing has been
heard of the protest, however.
The score of Saturday's game fol
low*:
By the B. A G. PRESS AGENT.
Before the largest and most enthu
siastic crowd of the Commercial League
season. Beck & Gregg defeated M. Kutx
for the second time this season, by the
score of 7 to 2.
It was generally admitted by the
crowd that It was the best and most
thrilling game of ball for amateurs
they have seen this season, and all en
joyed It. Both clubs played great and
fast bell, and each player deserves
credit. For Kutz. N. Sullivan and
Lamma, McBride and Ahle played star
hall. And Lamma pitched In excellent
form excepting, for one bad inning,
when he went to piece* and the Beck
& Gregg boys hammered him out for
safe drives.
Old BUI Garwood, the tall gent from
Jasper, where natural born pitchers
flourish, was right there when It canto
to flinging the ball. He let the heavy
Kutz hitters down with two hits and
making eleven batters fall before hi*
speedy curves. Q. Moore. Grist. Davis
and Parish were the stick artists .»f
the day and did some lovely hitting.
Grist on first and V. Moore at second
played star ball when It came to field
ing their positions. In fact Garwood
said the whole Beck & Gregg team
backed him up In excellent form and
all were satisfied with their plating
during the game.
There was a good crowd out to nee
the game, especially the fair sex. and
both sides had plenty of rooters, who
tried to make their side win. Carleton
Floyd umpired the game to the satis
faction of all. He Is considered the
best umps In the league.

SUN PR00F8 WIN.
The Sun Proofs-Koca Nola combi
nation Saturday turned Into a slugging
match that would have made the
"Mighty Lajole" green with envy. Ev
erybody hit the ball, and the only
known object of the game was to give
the cows an afternoon off from their
dally duty of chewing up the diamond.
Keen, the Sun Proof* left fielder,
was the batting star of the game. He
secured three singles and a brace of
two-baggers out of alx time* up.
Johnny Cunyera, the crack pitcher
from the Pittsburg Plate Glass Co..
was driven to the wood*, and ns for
Henley, well, poor boy, he may get
over it, but he will never look the
same.
A box score for this game wa* ab**-
lutely Impossible. The laat seen of tne
scorer he was being slowly but surei>
smothered to death under a bunch or
checked paper that waa large enough
for an edition of a country newspaper.
Batteries—Cunyera and Gullat, Hen

That boy Keen certainly hits em a
Mays, Howell and Rice were there
with their usual good game.
That one-handed stab of Collins in
left field for the Koca Nolas wa* a
peach. Pete, we hand It to you «»n tnai-
Look out for the Sun Proof* In next
Saturday’s game!
OVER THE HILLS
(With Apoligies to Eugene Field.)
Over the hills and far Awny
A young fan strolled on a winter’s day.
And he dreamt of the beautiful days once more
When he'd hear the boom of the swatlet'a roar.
And ns he nmbled from crag to crag
He saw In the distance a hard-won flag.
He dreamt that hi* team won the pennant that day—
Over the hills and far away—
Over the hills and far away
Over the htlta and far away
The same fan strolled on a summer’* day.
The race was cloae, but the good old dope
Still showed that his team had a little hops.
And he still dreamed on. ’neath the nooday sun.
Of the gaudy pennant which they had won.
"We’b get there yet," he waa heard to aay— -
Over the hills and far away—
Over the hills and far away.
Over the hills and far a way
A sad fan walked on a gray fall day.
The battle waa over, the race wa* run;
He’d seen the end of a season's fun.
The good old dope he had figured out.
The rally which he had dreamt about.
The hard-won pennant—where were they?
Over the hills and far away—
Over the hills and far away.
