THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. MONDAY, JULY 22,1907. EXCITING GAMES CERTAIN WITH BABB’S TEAM SPORTING PAGE EDITED BY PERCY H. WHITING NOT NEWS, BUT VIEWS TWO OF FRANK’S EXTRAS Now for Memphis! The first week of the Western invasion broke Atlanta’s way as well as the most optimistic dared hope. Five victories out of six games played was the showing made. In the meantime Memphis lost four out of eight last week and won Sunday’s game. And today Atlanta is nearer the league leadership .than she has been in exactly one month, barring a short while last week. The men who win games without hitting are the men of the hour from now until Wednesday, about sunset. The Babblers do not boast of much ability with the willow. Otis Stockdale, in addition to assisting Bills in leading the league at pitching, is the best batter on the team. And he is only just above .300. Manning is close up nnd the best batting regular is Charley Babb, who is doing around .290 now—.much less than he batted last year. “Scoops” Carey, who was the hitting old thing when the Bab blers was here last, is down close to .250 and Neighbors, Ilurl- burt, Owens, Richards, Cristall, Suggs and Bills are below .250. At fielding the Memphis team shines. Its team fielding aver age is better than that of any other team in the league and some fielding wonders' may be expected. Also the Hustlers boast of the two best game-winning pitchers of the league—Bills and Stockdale. Both the youngster and the veteran are in a decidedly winning way right now and have been all the season. However, the visitors will find the Crackers at about their best. Castleton, Zeller and Spade, the pitchers who will work, are at the very top of their form right now. The Atlanta catch ing staff was never in better trim. Fox, Jordan and Castro aro just where they have been all the season—in fine fettle. Bill Dyer is playing better than ever before this year. And the outfield—well have there ever been any spots on that outfieldt Not many. ’ It is the best in the league and per haps as good as the league ever had. Until we can get hold of some of the inside facts we don’t especially care to pass judgment on that directors’ meeting over in Memphis Sunday. But just as a snap opinion it seems to us as though it was something of a farce. < Acoording to all advance information eight protests were‘to be heard. And on the hearing of these protests it was hoped to clear up that mess over the "fixed'’hatters’box in Memphis and to straighten out the question of whether or not teams in this league are to be allowed to go over the limit. Press dispatches on the subject aro painfully vague. A Phil adelphia lawyer could not make head nor tail to the incoherent accounts sent out from Memphis. But the sins of omission of the directors are obvious. The two really interesting protests were passed over. They wero the ones made by Charley Frank ngainst having to pay the $300 fine for leaving the field and one made by Dobbs, of Nashville, against a similar fine, after Rinn forfeited a game, on account of the lengthy kick registered by Nashville. i Also the two protests now on the league books against Nash- vlllo and Little Rock for carrying moro than 14 men were not noticed.

Lost, P.C. Of course it was all right. But it is hard to sco, with a couple of weeks’ notice, how it was possible for Now Orleans and Nash ville to bo unprepared for their defense. Charley Frank said ho had not been notified of the directors’ meeting when he was hore and it seems as though somebody must be at fault in this. Well, it is all to come out at another meeting to bo held August 12. And we are quite contented to wait until that time, if the directors ore. They are the ones who have to make the torrid journey to Memphis and back again. Bills, of Memphis, Now Leads League Pitchers Yerkez, of Nashville, has ths best avsrags of games won among ths Southern League pitchers. But Yerkes has worked In only four games and hardly counts. Tho real league leaders are Stockdale and Bills. Bills has won 14 out of 20 games. Stockdale has won 13 and lost *. Rube Zeller, who was leading the league a while back. Is down In fourth! place now. He has won 14 games and lost T. Castleton Is In fifth place, with a per cent of .667, and Spade Is In sev- Ouese, of New Orleans, Is the leading pitcher for the Pelicans, and Is In Math place. The other team leaders are Gas- Mil. who onob led the league, but Is now tied for ninth place with .SOD; Eyler leads for Little Rock, with .the eame average as-Gaskim Yerkes Is best for Nashville; Wilhelm for Birmingham, .571, and for Montgomery Walsh, with .410 During the last thirty days Walsh has won more games than any other man, si* In all. Next to him comes a bunch who have won five—Graham, or Shreveport: Wilhelm, of Birmingham; Sorrell, of Nashville; Bills, of Memphis, and Clark, of Birmingham. The ques tionable honor of having lost the most games goes to Bam Weems, of Mont gomery, who has dropped seven. The pitching averages to Monday as follows: Name. W. L.

Jap Bell'a and Mike Winn's aggre gations met In a battle royal Saturday afternoon at Gammage. The Kutzes lit on to the ball hard and heavy In tho first two Innings and pushed seven men across ths plate, and It looked like ev erything was all theirs. But the B. ft G. boys, with their never-glve-up feel ing, hammered out the ball and tied the score In the seventh Inning, then shoved one man across In the ninth, which won the game. With one man down In the ninth. Parish singled, etole second and came home on Virile Moore's beautiful drive through center. It was a hard-fought game and some pretty plays were made on both sides. Both teams wanted the game bad. as It meant a good deal toward getting the pennant, and neither side gave up till the last man was out. Cannon pitched excellent ball after the second. Inning and deserves good credit, ns he was up against Mike Winn’s heavy hitters. Kelly pitched good ball. Although he was rapped pretty freely, he tallied out of many bad holes and showed that he has the maMng of a good pitcher. The features of ths game were the hitting of B. & G. batters, who secured 18 safe hlte, and McBride's pretty throw from left, which cut off a runner at home.

The Pittsburg Sun Proof team again had a cinch In defeating the Koca No las Saturday afternoon In a very In teresting game of ball, though the soft drink (boys must have thought they were playing ping-pong, the way they biffed the sphere around. "Bit'' Lock- ridge ajid Kline worked a pretty game. Only three hlte were annexed by the drinkers In eight rounds of battle, with two In the ninth, making a total of five. For the first five Innings of play the game was made up of sensa tional plays on both sides, but In the sixth and seventh Innings the Koca Nola boys made a high trip up In the clouds, which resulted In complete downfall. In the seventh Inning seven runs were made off two hits. Mays was safe on bobble by short; Rice was safe on error by second; Wall was punched In the back; Cunyus safe on bobble by second and Rice scored; Lockrldge three-baggered to center. Wall and Cunyus scoring; Daley walked: he later stole second and went to third on a passed ball, Lockrldge scoring; Keeno singled to left and Daley counted. At this point the Koca Nolas changed pitchers, Oppenhelm come In from loft Held and Brady, who was In ths box, went to left. Kline fanned. P. Collins walked, stole second and was out try ing to go to third. Mays fanned, end ing the agony. That seventh Inning was the ruin of the Koca Nola boys, os the score up to that time was 4 to 0. Kline held the drinkers safe until the ninth, when they found him for a single and a three-bagger, resulting In two runs. NOTES. That midget battery Is all to the good; Kllno fanned 16. The Koca Nola boys pulled off two fast double plays, one In the second and one In the ninth Inning. Harmon, one of the Sun Proof pitch ers, who was slated to do the work for the afternoon, was unexpectedly de tained. Mays played his usual good game around station No. 1. So did Daley, who hovered around sack No. 2. Brady, who pitched seven Innings for the drinkers, did very well both as a pitcher and left fielder. Boys, the Sun Proofs are hot after that rag. You had better get wise to that fact. A box score was kept, but ths puxzle editor could not be found, and the score by Innings was all that could be doped out. Also the number of hits by Innings will be found below; Score by Innings: R. H. E. Sun Proofs . , .011 003 720—13 10 Koca Nolas . . .000 000 003— 3 5 Hits by Innings; Sun Proofs 031 102. 220—10 Koca Nolas .101 000 102- George Suggs against Castleton or Zsllsr is the program for Monday aft ernoon In the opening game of the Memphis series. Tho Babblers, fresh from the over throw of Shreveport, reached Atlanta shortly before noon. The team Is not any too fresh, as a result of the long Jaunt over from the Bluff City, but at that, ought to be able to put up a good showing against the Crackers. Every real good fan In ths city Is putting ,ln extra time speculating on the probable outcome of the series. The most optimistic are talking about "three straights.” To these It may be suggested that two out of three will do very well, and that one out of three would not be so utterly flabbergasting. . It Is going to be a snappy series of engagements, all right. Ths Bluffers are all there with everything but the blngles, and up to non- they have been winning pretty handily without these generally necessary adjuncts to a win ning stride. The visit of Charley Babb's team re calls ths prediction made by Charles during the spring meeting of ths league In Atlanta. He said: "I'll win the pennat, barring Billy Smith’s team.” And we're n Dutchman, If he Isn't making good the prediction. It Is At lanta or Memphis for the pennant sure. Just which It Is we are not prepared to say right now. But It Is our dope that the coming series will cut a lot of figure In the final results. ATLANTA LEAD8. The official figures on the league re ceipts for July 4 are In. And, as was to be expected, Atlanta leads. The cash taken in at Ponce DeLeon was. In round figures, 31,300 In the mining. In the afternoon the flgures reached nearly 33,500. On that one single game Atlanta turned In more cash to the league fundB than any other team did In two games. And at Atlanta’s two games the re ceipts were almost as much as those of any two cities. Here are the flgures: Atlanta- Morning game .. .. .. .. ..51,326.30 Afternoon game 3,488.76 Total 34,814.06 Birmingham- Morning gakie 1,037.00 Afternoon ggme .. .. 1,760.06 Total 32,797.06 Memphis— Afternoon game .. .; 1,791.00 July 6 446.60 Total 12,237.60 New Orleans— Afternoon game 1,806.36 July 6 .. 334.90 Total 32,140.26 Last year Birmingham beat Atlanta on the figures by a whisker. This year Atlanta's lead l< so decisive that the other figures are a loud laugh. DIRECTORS’ MEETING. At the meeting of the league moguls the waiver rule of the league was amended, so that a club claiming a player on whom waivers have been asked can secure the player by paying the price within three days of the orig inal date of waiver. The only decisions made on protest were to disallow those of Memphis on decisions of the umpire In games wits Montgomery and New Orleans. 10 R ? rnle McCay has turned p|t ch „ agaln. That versatile twlrler workM against Columbus the other dm- held the batters down to nine hits three runs, which was close enough to win handily for Mobile. 0 Little Schopp, who Is soon to ret,,™ to Atlanta, pitched a nice game fo! Augusta Saturday, when he relieves Nelson. He was practically unhltti I , I ?.. t , he £ econd . lnnln » Castro knocked a little Texas Leaguer Just out Page's reach, which, under ordinary circumstances, would have been rood for at least a single. Bowcock, tha Travelers' right ffelder, came In after the ball and after a hard run he mada a swell catch, for which he received a round of applause. Bowcock gave the ball an awful whnek In the fifth Inning, and sent the sphere bounding out to left field tor three bags. It looked good for a home run to those In the press box. The ball went high over Paskert's head, and the boy trom Dayton finally got the sphere after p. fast sprint and held Bowcock at third. Sweeney knocked a corking double to right field bank in the fourth Innln- The ball went sizzling past Bowcock' hit the bank with a thud and rolled' half-way up before the Traveler right fielder could get the sphere.

He gave up only five hits, and held Atlanta down to two runs, one of which wouldn't have gone over except for a slight foozle In the Infield. Unfortunately for grandpa, his Juve nile opponent, R. Ford, late of Cedar Rapids, or some such place, was even better, and his victory was something In the nature of "peaches.” Atlanta opened up with the heavy ordnance In the fourth. Ed Sweeney, the willowy but hefty-hltting catcher, dislocated one of Hart’s curves for two bags and was scored by James Fox, on a single-sack effort. Little Rock bottled it up In the next Inning. Bowcock and Hess tripled In rapid succession, and the thing was done. Also it was finished. Ford set tled down and there wasn’t a chance to repeat. Atlanta let out In the same Inning and won the gome. Becker drew free transportation. Winters was hit and Paskert unloaded a slippery one down toward Great-Uncle Bill Hart. His veteran nibs picked It up and threw to first. Douglas hobbled and Becker scored. You can Just naturally bet that a few fans turned out to see the third consecutive annihilation of the Travel ers. The big grandstand and the bleachers were well packed, and the enthusiasm was In direct proportion to the warmth—which was considera ble. Slats Davis, the sx-Sally League umpire, made his Initial appearance and won out with a little line of talk about "playing by the National Aiao- elation rules, under special Instruction! from President Kavanaugh.” Of course. It was obvious that the gams would 1>e played under Just those "Hies. Every game this season hu been. And yet there was no harm In mentioning It. And the fans are slightly "for" "Sluts.” He has a reputation down In I the Sally League for enforcing order on the field, and for refusing to lake back-talk from the players. And At lanta Is with him In hlz efforts along this line. The scot*: Little Rock. Page, 2b. . . .

Qutncyf Fla., July 22.—In the most uninteresting game of the season the local team defeated the Havana "Hur ricanes" by a score of 13 to 9. The game showed very plainly that the Havana boys were out of their class, only one man getting to first base un til the fifth inning, when the local team let up and allowed them to scare.
