THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. TUESDAY, JULY 23,1907. SOME RECORD OF RECENT BASEBALL STREINUOSITY SPORTING PAGE EDITED BY PERCY H. WHITING i NOT NEWS, BUT VIEWS Honestly, it wasn’t right to do it Those poor Memphis players were wobbling on their pins and couldn't have given Montgomery a run for her money. Stockdale and Carter were "all out” before they started and the other members of the bunch were far from fit. It was nice to get the game. It helped in the standing. But it was no test of the relative strength of the two teams. The real tests come Tuesday and Wednesday. We are of the opinion that Atlanta can win but we may be wrong. However, if the Bluffers can make Atlanta take less than two out of three they will be doing surprisingly well. Babb’s team is pretty fit this trip, except for weariness and the absence of Cristall. This twirler collapsed after the game Sunday on account of the heat and was not brought to Atlanta. The rest of the bunch are all -right, however; and with a good night’s rest ought to be in shape to give Atlanta a real run. Here’s hoping. That game Monday was satisfactory in the extreme, as far as the outcome went, but it wasn’t exactly ex citing. If Atlanta shnnld happen to eop those' three straight from Memphis she would be in pretty fine trim to tnke on Shreveport. ' Tom Fisher’s team is having u run of hard luck which is appa rently unending and the Crackers ought to be able to take two out 1 of three, anyway, from the Pirates. The. South Atlantic League seemis to be’standing up famous-, ly under the departure of J. Ira (Slats) Davis. In fact, there is ;Cvident a tendency to poke a bit of fun nt Ilia departing figure. . The Charleston Post devoted nearly a., column to. the good byes. Here is part of it: . j;. . ' . V , Sad are the aca waves, sorrowful the mermaids, despondent the fishes and weeping the soft shell crabs. Unhappy to relate, 1 the hulking frame of J. Ira (Slats) Davis will no more again’ this heated term be hathed by ocean's salty billows, for the umplrlcal autocrat has left these parts for the Southern League, following a series of somewhat untoward circumstances In which J. Ira man aged to have chief parts. In order to please the summer residents of the greatest resort on the South Atlantic coast President Charlie Boyer, commonly called the Silent, because he has developed the John D. Rockefel ler habit of knowing naught about things he ought to have care fully packed away In his bralnery, ought to have emphatically and Irrevocably declined to accept the resignation of J. I. (Slats)— provided the aforesaid and hereinbefore mentioned, J. Ira (Slats) was not given the odious degree of sktddoo, 1. e., permis sion to meander elsewhere. The departure of Mlstah Davis for hotter climes Is profoundly regretted by the above mentioned summer residents who derived a hogshead of pleasure from the ■.reports of the doings and sayings of the great-J. I. when he was In the surf flirting with mermaids, playing with soft shell crabs and romping with the youngster masculine and femtnlno. BILL SMITH’S LATEST Here Is a lively action picture of Scotty Marken- sle. Bitty Smlth’e new twirler. rounded up from the Columbia * »am. In the South Atlantic League. Scotty Is called the "Human Corkscrew" down In his burg, and the reason can readily be judged from this snap shot. \ 'Mac” has a way of winding up like a ball of cord, and then breaking loose like a young cat apult. And when he uncorks tho ball It goes like a Kansas hurri cane. Whatever are J. Ira’s faults, he seems to enforce discipline on the diamond and in that, anyway, we are with him. Southern League umpires have, as a rule, been too lenient in -putting up with loud-mouthed ball players who delay tho gome and disgust the patrons with their blatant bawling. The league has put up with a lot in the past from such as "Silent Jacob” At*, “Irascible William” Evans, “Blatant Bill” Grnfihis, “Crabbed Arthur” Hess, “Continuous Performance” Dobbs, “Vociferous Jonathan” Carr, “Yauping Harry” Mat thews and “Gaggling Thomas”Parrott. What the public wonts is baheball, fast and furious. If tho players will leave the verbal gymnastics for tha Reclusion of their own rooms it will please fandom better, If J. Ira will keep or der wo are with him. Though we do not offer it as an opinion that the abovo named fact will do him any good.

Tired, hot and hungry, short on breakfast, shy on dinner, minus much sleep, and altogether worn out and weary (p a result of nearly af ull day’s jaunt across Tennessee, Mis elaslppl, Alabama and Georgia, rushed onto ths field' with lit tle chance here Monday, and lost to Atlanta 12 to 4. / The awful trip, bad enough at best, but lengthened by a missed connection, had left the Hustlers fairly wobbling on their feet from exhaustion and hun ger, and this did Its part In the general rout. And added to this was the beat of Atlanta's hottest day. Carter was the first man to go down and out. He. left the battle at the end of the second inning. The only other man who dropped by the dlamond-sldo was Stockdale. The Gray Fox was crumpled up by the heat and the awful drubbing he got, and pulled out at the end of the sixth Inning. Neighbors pitched out the rext of the game, with Plasa In right field and Bills In center field. Stockdale pitched a. rattling good game as long as there was any hope. Wobbly fielding spoiled the Memphis chnnces early In the game. Twice a ball hit by a Cracker dropped safe be tween two or three Memphis fielders, any one of whom should have got it. Castleton, who worked for the home team, wua also wonderfully good at the start. Finally he aaw that the thing was cinched and then he let up. His wild throw In the sixth let in two rune, after Plasa had walked and Babb had singled. Doubles by James and Rlchsrda let in the third run for Memphis, and the fourth resulted from Sid Smith’s er ror, a passed ha)! and Manning's hit Smith, by tha way, was playing second In place of Jordan, Who Injured his back slightly In the preliminary prac- tlee. An account of how Atlanta made her runs would be profitless. A glance at the hit column and a perusal of the extra-base hit records In the summary explains It all.

But the national commission decided that his price was 1750, and Smith thought that he was getting him for 2160. That difference of 1600 spoiled the deal. Bill Smith did* not want the man Shat bad. It ill came about through a bum telegram. When Smith got his price on tho man the telegram read 1160 for his release. Come to find out the wire had, been sent 1760. Smith claimed that he ought to have the man at 1150, but the commission decided the other way. And Bill Is not weeping any large, wet weep*. Swalm Is a good man—but not now. And the present itaff is doing well. 0. SCHOPP REPORTS. Little Grant Schopp, the Ottumwa, Iowa, pitcher who began the season with the Crackers, and then was re leased to Augusta, repotted Monday afternoon. Grant looks to be In fine shape, and Is ready to Jump back Into harness at a moment’s notlde. He was hit in the wing by a pitched ball by Raymond recently, but his arm hus about recov ered from that Injury. Down In the Sally League he won 16 games, lost 7 and tied 1. At least one game wns thrown 1 away by his support and four he lost In the mud, In which medium he does not shine. Grant says that things are going nourishing down In the Sally League, but that It la hot as mustard. He states that Dick Croxler is mak ing the finest kind of a manager and doing well. Maybe Schopp will not be used, however. Either he or Mackensle must go and perhaps both. They were ordered In when Zeller's arm went punk, and are not especially needed now. 8C0UT8 ARE HERE. Tom O'Brien, formerly manager of the Montgomery team, and Louis Hell- braunsr (or something to that effect) are here looking over the Atlanta and Memphis teams, with a view of picking the best men for the major leagues. The former scout represents Cleveland and the latter Cincinnati. The Cincin nati man Is taking a look at Becker and Dyer, who belong to Ohio’s only National League team. O'Brien Is cast. Ing longing eyes at Paskert and Zeller. It Is generally considered likely that Cleveland or New York will get these men, if they want them. And It Is alro probable that they will be the only ones who will go from the Atlanta team, though Sid Smith Is a possibili ty. And then the unexpected may hap pen In the drafting 'season, as It did In the case of Archer. JORDAN IS BETTER. Otto Jordan Is recovering from the strained back which kept him out of GRANT SCHOPP. lanta .606 and Memphis .698. Verily, Atlanta Is closing In on the leaders. Tho race Is a warm one, and heating up every minute. Billy Smith wishes It announced that a lady’s silk jacket was found at the grounds Monday. It can be se cured by the owner by applying at the park. Manager Fisher has announced that Corlln, who managed the Oscaloosa team last year and who has been play ing third base with Fort Worth this season, and Patterson, a second base- man of Oscaloosa, Iowa, have been signed. Patterson will report at once. Who these new players will relieve Is not officially known, but rumors have It that First Baseman Clark, who has been suffering all season with an In jured limb, and Pitcher "Kitty” Beek- er will be released. Manager Dobbs has released Nelson, the solthpaw twirler who came from the Texas League, to the Augusta, Ga., club of the South Atlantic League. Johnny Duggan Is again in form and he makes the sixth slab artist on Dobbs' stafl, so someone had to go, and after Yerkes pitched such a great game It was decided that Nelson would be the one. Nelson has done fair work during his time with the Nash ville club, but could not come up to tho Southern League standard. He will make Augusta a first class man. It is. reported here that Yerkes of Nashville, the league's leading nitrh.. Is down with the fever. * p her > Little Rock defeated Montgomery „„ Monday afternoon with Keith pitching by the score of 4 to 1. Walsh and Keith pitched good ball, although the boy from Little Rock had a little better of the argument. Each slab” man allowed five hits. Birmingham defeated Shreveport | n , loosely played game Monday. Shrev. port played punk ball, while the fiaroni put up a nice artlele of the national game, thereby winning by the sen 8 to 2.

Macon, Ga., July 2S.—In a game that was full of errori on the part of the local team, Augusta won th© first of the aerlea from Macon her© yesterday. Prom th© first Inning throughout the entire game, Macon played loose boll, and the players for some reason were unable to connect. Harley, who pitched for Macon, was hit freely by Augusta, while Sparks, who held down the slab for tho visitors, pitched a beautiful game. The few hit's he allowed were kept well scattered.

Portsmouth, Va., July 23.—Pitcher Sylvester D. Loucks was fined 15 and costs in the local police court, after the last Danvllle-Portsmouth State League baseball game here, for assaulting Um pire Truby on the fl^ld of play. Loucks, who was formerly In the ?m,r.A«v y ®* u * h * rn ftnd Sou,h Atlantic Leagues, nit Manager Charlie Moss, of the that he will perform before Thursday. Sid Smith will undoubtedly be at sec ond again and Sweeney will work be hind the bat. Jordan hurt himself reaching for a low ball and had to retire from prac tice just before tha gong tapped Mon day. i ZELLER OR SPADE. Reuben Zeller Is the probable per former for Tuesday, with Spado as alabstcr In the concluding game of the Memphis series. However, this order may be switch ed. It depends largely on how both men feel. Zeller’s last game came after a long and enervating rest. But after tho first inning of that contest he pitched well. He has beep working steadily since that time and ought to be hardened up end in good trim for his coming bat tle. Spade also pitched a good game hts last time out, and was never in better trim than now. Manager Babb announces that Car ter Is In good trim, notwithstanding his breakdown Monday, snd that he will be bnck In the field again today. As usual, the boy manager Is secretive about his pitcher and will not announce who will perform for him. This from Htlgh Roberts, of The Age-Herald: The prediction Is made that Lave Cross will manage a team in the Southern League nekt season. Atlanta needs a new manager and a new thlrd-sacker. and Lave could easily fill both bills and willingly, perhaps. And, too, Atlanta has a habit of culling the brightest flowers. It would be so pleasant for the Cracker fans to boost when for once the boast would be worthy. But other clubs might have a vacancy after September, and At lanta’s empty boa.t may remain good. And in the meantime Bill Smith goes right on being satisfied with his Job and the local club owners and the local fans keep right on being pleased with the way Bill holds It down. False alarm No. 1,674, Hugh. Try aomethlng else. Here is G, Rice’s advance dope on the Atlanta-Memphla series! Today brings a decisive battle down at Atlanta between the Crackers and Babblers. A series of three games will be played, and much depends on the result. Atlanta’s chances of copping the rag practically hang on how these games terminate. Should Memphis get away with the series, there remain* small hope of Smith’s squad floating the pen nant this year. On the other hand, should the Crackers capture the series they will put a severe crimp In the standing of the Memphll. and, though the Bluff City bunch will retain the lead, the distance between the two teams will not be so great. PRESIDENT COLEMAN HERE. President Coleman, of the Memphis club. Is here with the team and wlt- i.cried Monday’s game from Mayor Joyner’s box. Some of the fans expressed a feeling of resentment toward the "percentage liook" because that useful volume did not show a larger advance for Atlan ta as a result of winning Monday. A* a matter,of fact, Atlanta wen: up .666 snd Memphis lost .008 In conse quence Of Monday’s slaughter. If Atlanta wins Tuesday, the will go up .005 more, while Memphis will lose only .007, A Tuesday puts At* Truckers, also formerly of the South ern, with a pitched ball and Truby sent Moss on to the first station. This didn’t suit Loucks' point of view. He contended that Moss made no effort to dodge the shoot, but Truby was firm, and with a vicious swing of his pitch ing arm Loucks sent the umpire sprawling to the earth. Several spectators rushed upon the field, and C. H. Herbert, a local Ice cream manufacturer, struck Loucks twice, and, In the melee, accidentally banged Detective Broughton. Loucks was the only one arrested, however. In the police court he ad mitted that he should be fined, assert- Ing that he lost his head entirely. "I went through the Southern League last season," he told Mayor Reed, be fore whom he was arraigned, "without a mark of fine against my record, hut I am to blame for losing my head today, and deserve to be fined.” VAUGHN GETS REAL PITCHER Special to The Georgian. Birmingham, Ala, July 23.—Mana ger Vaughn announces this morning the signing of Pitcher B. McWeller, of the disbanded Interstate League of New York.
