: THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. WEDNESDAY, JUNE 26,1907. ALL THE NEWS OF THE BASEBALL AND SPORTING WORLDS IIHIINMIMIMNMNlHMNMmmiHIHII IHHMIIIHNINMMHIIIHHMIHIMHUMMMMHHIHMMIII NOT NEWS, BUT VIEWS IHHNNNIIIHHHIHtlMHIlHN BY PERCY H. WHITING. Nashville, Tenn., June 26—The Tennessee tournament in progress here comes nnder the head of “small but seleot” affairs. The field is diminutive in the extreme but for all that practically every player who stands any chance of winning the Southern Championship in Atlanta next month is here. From present indications the big event looks like a three or four-cornered affair with Thornton, Little, Cowan Rodgers and— well, picking the fourth man is not so easy but the trio named will be there very close to the finish. This tournament is more of a Southern affair than the last one.' Last year Hunt, of California, was very nearly the whole show. And somehow it seems foolish that the Tennessee champion ship should be won by a Californian and the Georgia champion ship by an Ohioan. In the Southern golf championship only members of Southern dubs are allowed to compete and it seems very much more rea sonable to have such a rule. Of course It makes it faster and in some ways better to have the tennis tournament open to all but if it is to be called a "Southern” championship it would be mtro reasonable to hold it down to Southern players—or at least to members of Southern dubs. However, the only Northerners in this Tennessee tourna ment will be called on to hurry some if they hope to do any thing against the Southern players. Barring accidents, Thornton has as good a chance as any other player. He is playing a better game than he did a year ago when he played Reuben Hunt clear off his leut and nearly put him down and out. Little and Cowan Rodgers are the only men who have any license to beat him and they will have to perspire some to pull it off. It is said here that the New Orleans tennis club will not have any entries in the Atlanta tournament and it is certain that they have not made any here. This looks like a rather short proceeding for the largest tennis club in the South. Knoxville will have a better delegation than ever before at the Southern championship in Atlanta. In addition to the f Rodgers brothers there will be a half dozen or so first-class players. We’re a little out of the baseball belt up here. But it ■ wouldn’t do to make the mistake of thinking that the games in Atlanta are not being watched with the most brcfthlcss inter est. In this “sporting extra-less” town the real fans ha^b to go to the baseball matinees but the people who run the “details” are doing a rattling business Local fans are about willing to admit that the Crackers are a little too much for Nashville and they are viewing with some alarm the present series in Atlanta and aro none too confident over the prospect of the Atlanta games in this town next week.

Nuhvtlle, Tenn., June 16.—If the weather man does not pull out and give the sunshine department a chance there Is not likely to be any Tennuaee tennis championship. Monday It rained and Tuesday It did likewise. Wednesday It looks very dubious. If Friday and Saturday do not happen to be good It means that there will not be a championship. Be cause next week the players move on to Atlanta tor the Southern champion ship. Southern. The drawing for the championship seems to make It oertaln that one At lanta man, at least, will go to tho finish. Nat Thornton Is In the upper tier with Smith, Farrell, Day, Vaughn, Bates, Cox and Charlie Rodgers. With any luok he ought to be able to de feat any man In that lot. The lower tier Is more dangerous. I* D. Scott goes against a star In his first match, for he ploys B. W. Daley. If he wins that he gets either Charley Rodgors or Orma the Indiana unknown. If he wine that match he will undoubt edly catch Dr. Karl Little. It looks a good deal u though Dr. Little or Charley Rodgers would meet Thornton on the finale. Thornton and Scott drew well In the doubles, as they will have only to de feat the winner of the Douglas and Vaughn vs. Cox and Moore match. This practically usurea the Atlanta team a place In the finals.

The Crockers will leave Atlanta after this afternoon's game for Birmingham. The Dobbere will depart for Nash ville, where they play the Climbers of Montgomery, Ala, on Thursday after noon. Billy Smith will send the Wltard Rube Zeller to tbe slab this afternoon. Kube Is In good condition and should win his gams with ease. Sid Smith will do the catching.

Harnlah has been doing good work for Macon be hind the plate since Robinson was put out of the game, but his throwing can hardly come up to Jack’s, and the work of the little backstop has been missed by the Macon team. DOBBERS TURN THE TABLES AND WIN FROM FIREMEN The Nashville Dobbers turned the tables completely on the Crackers on Tuesday afternoon when BUI Sorrell shut them out. Final score 6 to 0. BUI woe right there with the goods, especially In pinches, Atlanta only get ting eight safe drives off his delivery. Roy CasUeton. who woe on the firing line for the Firemen, was touched safely for 11 hits. "Big Fete" Litter, lastly of Birmingham, sent his batting average climbing on Castleton's deliv ery. getting four bite out of four times up and walked once. The Boosters went after revenge In the first round, when Persons and Wiseman both singled, Dobbs bunted to pitcher, advancing the base runners. Then Roy walked McCormick, filling the bases. Whltey Morse, Atlanta’s pinch hitter once upon a time, came to bat and popped out to Jordan. Mc- Elveen biffed one to Bill Dyer, who muffed the ball, scoring Persons. Then Roy Castleton, with the bases full, walked Lister, forcing In Wiseman. Bases still full, Roy became good and walked Wells, forcing In McCormick. The painful agony was ended by Sor rell going out. Jordan to Fox. The Boosters, not contented with three In the first Inning, tallied one each In the second, third and fourth innings. After that there was nothing doing. The nearest the Crackers came to the plate was In the ninth Inning, when, with two out and Castro on second, Boy Castleton came to bat and singled to right field. But alas! the Count was over-anxious and was thrown the plate.

The games were characterised by many brilliant plays, and after the first game the Atlanta boys had every thing their own way. The Georgia Railway and Eleotrlo Company team took the first game by 1 pins, and It lookad for a while as If they were go ing to make a clean sweep of their opponents, but the faUIng down of Leaoh and the large soores of Elliott and Hobs turned the tables, and At lanta won with ease.

In the sixth Inning, with Sid Smith on second and Paskert on first, James Fox tried to knock the ball over Man ager Dobbs’ head, but tt didn't work, Johnny'ran, turned-and caught the ball facing the centerfleld fence. Hard luck, Jim, but It's all In baseball. Castleton and McElveen had a tongue scrap In the third Inning. Me asked Roy why he did not put the ball ever the plate, to which Roy replied, "CanT you see the ball curving over; why, you are worse than Hackett.” In the second Inning Sorrell, while trying to catch Fox off first base, came nearly throwing the ball In the smokers, but "Big Pete” was there with his mil Both pitchers seemed tb think that Jim Hackett was a bit off at times on balls and strikes, but the umps knows hie "bis." Castleton and Sorrell were sore at Umpire Hackett Tuesday afternoon, Castleton said that he was away off on balls and strikes. Sorrell also com plained at his umpiring. His umps has a better view of the plate than the peo ple In the grandstand, however, and It Is probable that be was right in hl4 decisions. Paskert Is probably the best btss stealer In the Southern League. He stole two bases Tuesday afternoon with ease. There 1* hardly a catcher in the Southern League that can catch him stealing second. Paskert Is ths nest outfielder In this league and wlU probably be In the big league next season. Sid Smith caught a pretty game Tuesday afternoon and played ball a all times. Sid made two hits out o three times at bat and he made no errors for the afternoon. Sidney woe probably thinking of his girl at tht Grand opera house. The Dobbers have gotten Into a habit of throwing wild to first base. Whetbe* It Is tbe Isinglass on the ground or through their Inability to control tbs ball Is not known. In Monday's gams little Elmer Duggan made two wild flings to first and lost his own game by those errors. Tuesday McElveen mads a wild throw to first and Spade ad« vanced to second on the error. Castleton struck out three Tuei- day and walked six. Hoy also hit one of the Dobbers. Sorrell on the other hand made a much better record. Bill struck out six men and soaked one Cracker In the ribs. Sorrell gave up only two bases on balls. Clark Griffith and his New Toth Americans defeated the Boston Ameri cans Tuesday afternoon, 8 to 2.
