THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. SATURDAY, JUNE 29, 1907. ALL THE NEWS OF THE BASEBALL AND SPORTING WORLDS CRACKER? LOSE A HARD FOLIillT GAME TO TOE COAL BARONS, OF BIRMINGHAM NOT NEWS, BUT VIEWS Nashville, Tenn., June 29.—This business of having even such a thing as “views” here at the fag-end of a strenuous vacation, is “ Dumpin' fierce.” When the regular grind is “on” it is a positive relief to sit down and turn out a bunch of “views”'—and usually a man can land in an idea or so to every half mile of it. The lucky tans of this city have it on Atlanta Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of next week, for the Crackers are up here then. And they arc looking forward to some pretty giddy baseball. Nashville fans seem to like our team. They think that we have a lot of good players and they aro glad to see them per form. The Crackers are popular here and the residents of this burg will patronize these cvming sessions well. Thursday there is a renewal of hostilities at Ponce DeLeon. And say, if there isn’t a pippin-crowd July Fourth then don’t we all miss our gesst The Crackers have been showing the people of the South something about attendance figures this year and July 4 is the day when Atlanta is going to frazzle all previous figures for holiday crowds. So come early if you expect to avoid the rush. Another good sporting event of the week will be the South ern tennis championship. A genernl hunch on the probable outcome can best bo se cured by perusing the figures ground out by the players here. But one thing you can be sure of. Nat Thornton will show to better advantage on his home courts than he did in Nashville. Ilis defeat in the very first round was a sad disappointment to Atlanta tennis enthusiasts, but they can take it from us that Thornton will surprise some of them yet. This Atlanta tournament ought to be a first class affair in every way and it will surely attract to the Gate City the best tennis players in the South. Unless the trap shooting tournament is rounded up for At lanta and unless the Atlanta baseball team happens to cop the rag then this is the last real championship event of the year in Atlanta. With the golf championship and the tennis championship out of the way the Atlanta Athletic Club will bo able to settle down to the enjoyment of their beautiful property; and to the building of the new club house. Of course there will be a club championship ami a Trayvick tournament affair in the yvay of golf, besides yveokly tourna ments;, and thero will be the club championship at tennis; but in the main the excitement is over. And we yvho are interested in all sport can therefore set tle back to the keen enjoyment of tho race for the rag in the Southern League. Right now tho contest is just as good as the best ever seen in the South—and that’s pretty fair. And very soon yvo are to know if tho Eastern clubs will be successful in dislodging Memphis from tho lead when the Babb lers hit this aeotion of the civilised world. And we certainly plead guilty to hoping that the East can make large dents in tho well-protected anatomy of Charley Babb’s Boauties. i Chesty Charles will find the East waiting for hom yvitli open arms—and all tho arms loaded. Ho will find Montgomery and Birmingham pln.ving better ball than the last time he was "in our midst,” Nashville doing very yvcll, thank you; and Atlanta ready to complete the work of slaughter. If Babb can bring his team into the East and yvin a good majority of games—and then repeat it the next time through— well, sve might as well kiss good-by all our' hopes for the flag. But if Babb can be stopped in the East then things look good for Atlanta. Gentlemen of the Birmingham, Nashville, Montgomery and Atlanta teams: — IT IS UP TO YOU. ZENDER SAYS MATTHEWS IS A DIRTY PLAYER Sporting JCdltor Zrnder of The Shreveport Time*, who, It 1* claimed, was assaulted by Matthews of the New Orleans club, says the following of •‘Matty,** the Pelican catcher: “Of all the dirty, rowdy players that ever disgraced a diamond, Harry Mat thew** Is undoubtedly the limit. In the opinion of the Shreveport fans. He has always seemingly enjoyed the notoriety that hls brutal tactics have brought him, but one of these fair days he is going to run up against a snug. Yes terday Matthews Jumped at Carr with both feat, in an attempt to steal second. He was out eaplly, but had the play been a close one. Johnny would have been badly spiked. Every fan on tho grounds was up In arms at once, and If Carr hadn’t wisely curbed hls temper and neglected to start a veiy strong argument, Pug Matthews would have been severely handled. For the funs would have welcomed the opportunity to pull,off a stunt that would have made police Interference necessary. Players of the Matthews stripe have no place In the game. They belong down In the Bowery or somo other place where a man's finer senses never huve an opportunity to develop. Matthews has an ounce of gray matter In that elephant-like cranium of hls, he Is going to take a tumble to him self and be mighty decent and re spectable In his actions on the local lot In the future." Matthews played with Atlnnta for a long while about three seasons ago and was then considered one of the best catchers In the Southern League. Matthews is a good fielder. He was also a game thrower to bases, but Is not much of a batter. TWO NEW YORKERS IN THE TENNIS TOURNAMENT Two crack New York tennis players have entered the Southern tennis tour ney which will be held In Atlanta. Wiley C. Grant and H. S. Westfall, of New York, are crack tennis players and those In charge of the meet were pleased when they received a letter from them stating that they would come to Atlanta and compete with the Southern players. 8. G. Grant, father of Wiley Grant, has also entered the meet. Wiley Grant is a good tennis player and has been playing the game eight years. Mr. Grant held the Indoor tennis champion ship for three years. Westfall Is considered a good tennis player. Grant and Westfall will enter the tournament as a double team; they will also compete In the singles. The grandstand at East Lake that attend the meet An admission of 25 cents will be charged those who go to the play. Birmingham, Ala., June 29.—The lo cals defeated the Firemen here Friday afternoon in a well played game of ball, Score 4 to 3. Bob Spade, the former South Atlan tic League star, occupied the slab for the Crackers and was touched up for 9 safe hits by the Coal Barons. Little "Eva" Wilhelm, the star slabman of the Birmingham team during the sea son of 1906, was on the firing line for the locals and was also batted for 9 hits. Wilhelm kept the hits off lilm very well scattered and won hls game. Spade pitched a good game and so did Wilhelm, and to say that Wilhelm or Spade pitched the better game would do each pitcher an Injustice. Spade pitched good ball and so did Wilhelm, each trying hls best to win the cohtest, Wilhelm finally getting away with the game. Friday's game went ten innings. Demont, the former Atlanta player, scored the winning run of the game for the Coal Barons In the tenth Inning. Demontreville walked and scored on a wild throw to first when C, Smith hit an easy grounder to the Infield. The Crackers’ two errors greatly aid ed the Barons In winning' Friday’s game. The Firemen should have won Friday’s game and they would have won the contest had it not been for those two errors. Sid Smith, the Crackers’ catcher, was the hitting kid Friday. He made three hits out of five times at bat. Sidney secured the longest hit of the after noon—a triple to center field. "Ginger" George Winters w*as back In harness Friday and played a swell game in the outfield. Winters secured two hits out three times at bat. Win ters also got an assist from the out field, which Is a rare thing. Gene Demont was hit on the head by a pitched ball in the tenth inning of Friday’s game and for awhile It was feared that he had been seriously in jured. He revived In a few minutes, however, and went to first base and a moment later scored tho winning run of the game. The Crackers played in hard luck Friday, and should they had any sort of luck breaking their way they would hays won the . game in handy style. The Barons had the best of luck and they made a much better showing than did their Eastern friends. The Invention not only makes It im possible for two trains to come togeth. er either by rear-end or head-on col lisions but it permits of messages, both telegraphic and telephonic being sent from swiftly moving tralfis. The locals scored the first run of the game, and, by the way, they also scored the last run of the contest. Big "But termilk" Meeks knocked a screaming two-bagger to left field and was ad vanced to third on Lew Walters’ single to left field. Alcock, the locals’ star utility man, stung the ball for a single to center and scored Meeks, but Wal ters was caught off second and tagged. Alcock stole second and scored a mo ment later when Gardner hit safe to left field for two bags. The Crackers scored tfielr first run ini the fifth Inning. Dyer singled and so did Spade. Becker hit to short and Spade was forced out at the keystone sack. Winters singled to right, Dyer tallied and Becker advanced to third. Sid Smith, who. It Is said, will marry In a short time, and who, by the way. Is getting to be somewhat of a pinch hitter, singled past short and BUI Dyer scored. In tha seventh Inning "Ginger" Win ters was given a free pass to first and scored when Sid Smith tripled to cen ter. This put the Firemen In the lead, but they did not hold it long, as the locals scored again In the ninth, tying the score in a knot. Alcock hit to left for two bags In the ninth inning and the crow*d almost went wild. Gardner was hit by a pitched ball. Garvin then singled and Alcock scored. The locals made another run in the tenth Inning, but this has already been told. The Firemen and the Barons will play a double-header here this after noon, the first game beginning prompt ly at 2:30 o’clock. Billy Smith w*ants to win the last game from the locals, and It Is very probable that he will pitch Roy Castle- ton, the gent from New York, this aft ernoon. Castleton is in good condition and should make It hot for the Barons In the first game. Turner will probably pitch for the locals. Rube Zeller will. It is said, go In and do the slab w*ork In the second game. Reagan will most likely per form for the locals In. the second con test This afternoon will probably see one of the largest crowds of the season out to see the Crackers and the Barons play.

Nashville, Tenn., June 29.—From a Nashville viewpoint the marvellously good showing of Campbell Pilcher was the prize feature of the Invitation tour nament now In progress over the course of the Nashville Golf and Country Club. By play of the very strongest order he has forged ahead to the semi-finals for the main trophy of the tournament the Harding Road cup—and is the only local man left In. The other semi-finalists In the "big ■how" are Martin, of Chattanooga; Nel son, of Louisville, and Morrow*, of Mem phis. Strange to relate, three of these men made unusual showings in the recent Southern championship at Atlanta. Martin, though a strong player, failed to qualify at all over the Georgia course and the other two players squeaked In the fourth flight. Morrow won the fourth flight cup In the championship und Nelson won tho llosers* fourth flight cup. And the man who put Nel son. back in the "dubsky division" was Morrow*. Whether or not history Is to repeat Itself will bo shown today, for the men meet In the semi-finals this morning and fight the battle over again. -Martin and Pilcher also clinch and on this match centers the hopes of Nashville. All the conditions which combined to make the tournament a great success on Wednesday were uncorked again yesterday and the affair went through without the slightest hitch. It seemed Inevitable that there w ould be a lot ‘of crowding all day because of the fact that thirty-two matches were sched uled for the morning and the same number for the afternoon. But the first couple got away exactly at 9 o’clock and the last match was finished shortly after sunset and well before dark. The semi-finals In the second flight, like the first, find one Atlanta man— Goodloe Llndsley—fighting for a place In the Inst round. He meets W. Hill, of Atlanta, a veteran player of championship caliber, who has once been a runner-up In a Southern cham pionship, and the match will be a good one. The other semi-finalists In this division are Piepho, of Fort Thomas, Ky., nnd Whiting, of Atlanta. Monv phis friends of Piepho are betting four six that the Kentucky player wins the tournament. Two Nashville men are in the third flight—J. H. Fall, Jr., and Richard Wil son. The former plays J. Cioik. of Louisville, In the semi-finals and Wil son plays W. R. Tlchenor. of Atlanta. Both matches ought to be good ones. Jordan Stokes is the sole local repre sentative In the fourth flight, plays Armstrong, of Memphis, in the morning rounds and Thatch vs. Weaver is the other match. All of the players who lost In the ...ornlng rounds yesterday went on in the afternoon for the four "Junior cups." The first round was pulled off after lunch and In these events the semi finals were reached before sunset. o Nashville men meet In the Junior eight, first flight. They are M. H. Lurton. Jr., and S. D. Cowden. The former plays Squires, of Chatta nooga. and the latter meets Galbreath, of Memphis. In the second flight Daley Is the sole local representative. He plays Moore, of Nashville, this morning. The other pair in this division is Raine. of Mem phis. against Ward, of Birmingham. In the Junior eight, third flight, Por ter and Webb will do the playing for Nashville. The former will be opposed by Stuart and the latter by Daniel, of Memphis. In the Junior eight, fourth flight, Nashville has two players, also, Hoyte and Cooper. They play against each other In the semi-finals, while Boyd, of Chattanooga, meets Bryan, of Mem- NAT KAISER & CO. CONFIDENTIAL LOANS ON VALUABLES. 15 Decatur St. Kimball House.

Larded In with the semi-finals and finals will be a handicap tournament. The tournament committee, after nu merous sleepless hours, worked out a bunch of handicaps, w*hlch are printed below*. With these handicaps as a basis the tournament will be run off during the day. All men who tpok part In the tournament, except the finalists, will be eligible for this event. The tournament committee especially asks that all players begin all ifninda as early as possible, as with semi finals. finals and handicap on today, the course will be crowded from be ginning to end.

Weather Man Good to Macdfc Special to The Georgian. .Macon, Ga.. June 29.—Rain yester day was probably the only thing that saved Macon another defeat at the hands of the Charleston bunch. At about 3 o'clock It began raining and never let up until after 6, consequentlv there was no game. N The game postponed yesterday y “<r the first that Macon has had to pos pone on the home grounds this season. The weather man In all previous games has been In Macon's favor, but evident ly seeing that Macon's chances for win ning were rather slim, poured down the rain and saved the day for the locals. For some reason, that cannot be ex plained by any of the Macon fans and It seems, by Manager Llpe, the Macon baseball team has gone to rack and ruin within the past several weeks On the recent home trip the team de livered good ball, but as soon as they left the Central City and took to the road, things began going against them and haven't stopped yet. Out of the ' last fifteen games Macon has managed | to win three. Before that the team twelve straights, and there cer- | talnly must be a hoodoo hanging about some place. The pitchers are all working in good shape. It was largely due to Barkalow's efforts and good Judgment that Yale won the largest'attended race ever rowed on the New London course. This race was rowed on June 27, 1907. i Standing of the Clubs. I Southern Leaaue. Played. Won. Lost. P. C. Little Itock . , Naahvllle . , , Montgomery . Birmingham..

DAY AND FARRELL WIN THE TENNIS CHAMPIONSHIP Special to The Georgian. • Nashville, Tenn., June 29.—Day and Farrell.ure now the tennis champions of Tennessee. This pair won the championship from Rodgers and Rodg- era, of Knoxville, after a brilliant match here Friday afternoon. Score 1-6, 6-3, 6-6. 6-4. The local men* made a poor start in the first set and were beaten by the Knoxville team in easy style. Day and Farrell went after them In the second set, however, and trimmed them hand ily. The third set was a hard-fought one, the local boys winning only after the hardest kind of a tussle. The Rodgers brothers were out for blood and they made the Nashville boys hustle for their money. Day and Farrell won the last and deciding set. The Knoxville boys weakened somewhat in the last set. Day, of Nashville, defeated Bates, of Cincinnati, in the semi-final match In singles Friday morning. The local star won two straight sets, scores 6-1, 6-4. The finals In singles and the wind of the tournament comes this afternoon, when Day and Cowan Rodgers hook up for the championship. New York . . Philadelphia Pittsburg . . Boston . . Cincinnati .

At the end of the second game thero was only a few plna difference be tween the two teams and it looked as If the railway boys would take a brace and win out, but the Atlanta team made a great finish, while the railway team fell down and were defeated by a large score. The fourth gamea of the scries will be rolled Tuesday night, and as the railway boys are making It warmer each game for the Atlanta team, these games will no doubt be closer and more Interesting.
