THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. FRIDAY, JULY 12,1907
CRACKERS STILL BATTLING IN DARKEST ALABAMA
SPORTING PAGE EDITED BY
PERCY H. WHITING
| NOT NEWS, BUT VIEWS
The unexpected happened over in Montgomery Thnrsday
when the Crackers yanked down the opener. It was no easy win,
but any victory is a good one these days.
Two more games remain to bo played in Montgomery, maybe
three. Then the Crackers pike back to Georgia for a long stay.
New Orleans and Little Rook will occupy our time next week.
The following week opens up with the “Big Bill”—the Peerless
Performers from the City on the Bluff. The Pirates wind up
that week. With their last game in Atlanta the second West
ern invasion ends. Only one more descent of the West on the
East happens after that—which is the last series played in the
league.
Atlanta has a week more of games after the Westerners
leave, however. Nashville comes for the first bunch and then
Montgomery. When these are out of the way only one more
bnnoh of games will be played in Atlanta during August—and
that is when the Crackers slip home August 12, 13 and 14 for
games with Birmingham.
The rest of that long, warm month will be spent by the
Crackers on the road.
Word comes from Birmingham that the Birmingham Base
ball Association has voted to allow Montgomery to transfer
games to New Orleans.
This is a surprise for sure.
Ever since the transferring game stunt became one of the
sore spots of the league Birmingham has stood with Atlanta in
preventing the transfer of games. Time after time these two
clubs have been able to block Charley Frank’s deals.
And now Birmingham has gone over to Charley Frank's
side and voted for a practice which has made past league races a
joke.
Presumably there was some good and sufficient reason for this
action and we should certainly like to hear what it is.
The league is vitally interested-in this quests of transfer
ring games, for it is realized that few evils could be tolerated
which could do more harm to the sport in the South.
Of course Memphis won again. Sure.
The way things are going now we may as well harden our
selves to expect a victory about every time they show themselves
on the field.
The only way Atlanta can hope to finish ahead of the Bnbb-
lers is to win ’most every game. .Just how many that is will be
observed later.
A special to the Memphis Crmmerclnl-Appeal says:
Birmingham a port a have at lnat realized that they have been
victims of a set of wreatllng Jobber*. For aeveral month* adepts In
the art of faking have held full sv/ay In about every city In the
South, Memphis and Atlanta excepted. New Orleans. AMheville,
*©, Knoxville, Chattanooga and other 4
TWO GREAT GOLFERS '
Nashville,
i have been what
driven out of the North nmi Went to the field of alfalfa In the
South.
Naahvllle'a moat recent scandal Is yet In the courts. Memphis
scented a Job early In (he summer and on promise of promoters to
pull up stakes after a meeting between Christensen and Lewis. It
le said the newspapers there consented to give the principals benefit
of the doubt. Bex Berber, n noted Alabama athlete, whose home Is
In Peeatur, has been Instrumental In exposing some of the plnns of
the "get money easy" brigands, which Is similar io the fake mulch
at Asheville two years ago, between a Jap Jiu-Jitsu expert and nn
American, and on which a bunch of hoi sports cleaned up an esti
mated IS.A00.
Atlanta and Memphis have placed the lid on the wrestling fakera.
It remains to be seen how long Birmingham and New Orleans
win stand for the game.
The extermination of thoge fake wrestlers is up to the news
papers.
In Atlanta nnd Memphis some of the pnpers have gono on
record its being against wrestling as a gambling game and the
result has been obvious. Both Atlanta nnd Memphis are free
from that obnoxious faking which has disgusted the sport pa
trons of Nashville, Chnttnnnpgn, Birmingham nnd New Orlunns.
T. 0. Scarbrough, of Tho Commercial Appeal, was tho first
sporting writer who gave nn object lesson in the "shooing” of
fakers and his example haa been followed elsewhere with good
results. <
ITarlev lost a hard luck game Thursday. Snvnnnnh made
only a single run off his delivery, but that run beat him.
Dnoky ITolmea pitched another two-hit game for Augusta
Thursday. Wonder why he would not be a good man for Atlanta.
He certainly showed up the Cracker hatters this spring.
Walter Clarkson seems to be getting in form at last. The
young ex-eolleginn won for Cleveland Thursday in handy style.
Glaze oppoaed him for Boston nnd Cleveland won 1 1 to 0.

GOOD BALL PLAYING BY CRACKERS
WINS OPENER WITH PRETZEL CLUB
Special to The Georgian.
Montgomery. Ala., July 12.—The
Crackers from Atlanta blew Into thla
burgr yesterday, advertising themselves
os cripples and looking rather doleful,
after a couple of defeats by Birming
ham.
But they did not perform much like
crl^-Ie* when the call came to "play
ball."
Every man on the team went right
on his toes and stayed there to the end.
In consequence Atlanta won. 2 to 1.
Maxwell pitched phenomenally good
ball and allowed only four hits. Caa-
tleton gave up ten.
But somehow even* time Montgomery
let out a blngle It hurt, while Castleton
could be pulverized and scattered all
over the field without any especial
damage being (lone. I
Rases on balls by Maxwell did not
help any. He allowed three In the
first inning when Atlanta's first run
was scored. After that the free passes
Issued did not change the results. How-
ever, he made a costly wild pitch.
Castleton was unusually steady for a
southpaw and passed only one man.
It took a variety of plays to score the
first run.
Becker led off for the Crackers, as
usual, and walked. Dyer skied one and
went out. Then Paskert walked, which
suited the speedy outfielder, for his
wrist hurt and he hated to hit the ball.
Winters singled nicely and Becker
made a game but futile effort to ecore.
The ball beat him home and he suc-
cumbed at the plate.
It looked as though Maxwell had the
Crackers (tagged at this point, but he
weakened and allowed another base on
balls.
And after all that. It took a wild pitch
to ecore the runner. However, Max
well uncorked one and Paskert tallied.
Then Maxwell put the klboxh on the
run-making game until the seventh. In
this Innlag Jordan singled, Fox bunted
nnd beat It out, and on the throw to
first In an attempt to head Fox, Jordan
went to third. From thla place It was a
romp home when Sweeney died out to
center field.
The Pretxels made a regular "Atlanta
rally" <>ut of the ninth Inning. Perry,
the first man up, uncorked a double,
Malarkey was safe at first on Fox's er
ror, and Perry scored when Seabaugh
singled.
With nobody out. It looked very much
like n Montgomery clean-up, and It
took a great play to (lag the deal.
Gear and Nye filed out all right, but
Maxwell hit. The boll went out Beck-

Cleveland, Ohio. July 12.—Tester
day's match play for the national golf
championship resulted In the elimina
tion of all except eight contestants, four
from Eastern clubs and four from the
West. Many unexpected results were
recorded, the chief of which perhaps
was the defeat In the first round of
former National Champion H. Chan-
dler/Jgan. of Exmoor, by Ned Sawyer,
of the Wheaton (111.) Club, the present
title holder of the Western champion
ship. Walter E. Eagan, of Exmoor,
formerly Western champion, wa* also

Wednesday, and whom Egan had twice
