m 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.

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- BOTH THE EGANS DEFEATED IN GOLF CHAMPIONSHIP Flick’s Wonderful Record Year after year Elmer Pllrk has battad * round the .$*> mark, but thla year bids fair to be his beat.

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 put out In the first round by H. W.

The gam© was well played by both teams, but Macon was unable to con nect with th© ball when hits were need ed most.
