THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. MONDAY, JULY 29,1907.
NOT NEWS, BUT VIEWS
The second invasion of the East by the Western clubs
ended Saturday.
It lasted two weeks, and during that time Atlanta fared
very Well. The other Eastern clubs did not break any records,
but in a general way the Westerners had a slight crimp put in
them.
And we do not see. them again until the series which ends tlie
season. Then the West gets over into thcJSnst for the lost time.
And in that series the Pirates come first, theq the Pelicans, third
the dreaded Bluffers and last the Travelers from Little Bock.
And with the last Little Bock game, which is scheduled for
September 14, the season ends.
One week more of “home-and-mother” remains for the At
lanta team. Then the Crackers go out on the road for that long
August trip which keeps the bunch away, except for August
12, 13 and 14, the entire month and until September 1.
The end of the East’s last trip into the West finds Atlanta
over in Little Rock. Shreveport, the club which meets the Crack
ers here on Labor Day, September 2, is at home then.
And a couple of long hjkes will bo necessary to get the two
teams here for the last holiday games of the season.
However, barring railroad accidents, they will ranke it all
right. But if anything happens, especially to the Shreveport
team, in the way of break-downs, missed connections or railway
accidents, there is likely to be a gameless holiday for Atlantans.
It ill be a pretty hard day or two for the Pirates and the
Crackers. They are slated for two games Labor Day. And, ns
Shreveport has a postponed game here it is likely to be played
off September 3. So there will bo four games in two days.
However, Atlanta will doubtless need the games and ought to be
in as good shape to win them as Shreveport.
The'blow-up of the South Carolina state league, or at least
the near-blow-up, calls to mind the fact that there were less
league “bloomers” this year than usual. For a long time the
“Fourth of July” leagues were as numerous at the ■'♦art as any
other kind.
But times have changed.
Baseball is getting more nnd more n business. Leagues arc
run on a business basis and blow-ups are less frequent than they
used to be.
Excessive salaries—the old familiar fault of “trying too
hard to win”—have exploded more leagues than any other enuse.
No team outside the major leagues can spend what they would
like to for players. They have got to keep the salary list down
below the earning power of the club. ^
The leagues wherc-reasonable salary limits are enforced arc
the successful ones. J
And the Southern will not be in a position in many, many
years to overlook this fact.
Which wasn’t what wc started out to say, but it’s true, any
how.

JOHNNY DOBBS’ TEAM IS HERE
FOR A THREE-GAME SERIES
Pete Lister Not With Dob
bers On Account of
Spiked Foot.
The Nashville team, slightly disfig
ured by the absence of Pete Lister, the
#4,600 beauty (If they get It), arrived
In Atlanta Monday In two detachments.
One bunch came straight from Nash
ville and landed about breakfast time.
The other delegation, headed by Man.
nger Dobbs, came by way of Chatta
nooga and did not reach the city until
later.
Lister wns left at home and Hardy
will play first.
Pete was stabbed by a Memphis play
er In that little spiking match at Nash
ville the other day and has a bum foot,
which Is likely to slay bum for eome
little time.
It Is our old friend Elmer Duggan's
turn to pitch, and It Is likely that the
•chool-teacher-southpaw will do the
stunt Monday against the CrackOrs. 5
Ford or Spade will pitch forB. Smith
and It le likely that Ford will get the
call In the opener. RusacII has been
lucky this season against the Dobbers
and will probably try It again.
Nothing very exciting In the way of
baseball deals was uncorked over Sun
day. The Paskert, Zeller and Sweeney
trades still hang Are, and no disposi
tion has yet been made of Schopp.
Billy Smith has practically decided
that he wBl not leave the Atlanta team
for any scouting ventures os long as
there Is a chance for that much-de
sired pennant. If, as the season pro
gresses, It becomes evident that there
Is no chance for the rag Bill may do a
little scouting In Texas and the Central
League.
In the meantime Bill has a couple of
correspondents In Texas who are look
ing out for him.

AVERAGES
OF TEAMS
The team batting average of the At
lanta team Is still th( best In the
league. Just at present It Is at .278,
which Is A highly respectable showing
and one to be proud of. \ Atlanta has
made 844 hits this season, which Is
mpre than any other club except Nash,
vllle. The Dobbers rank second to the
Crackers, because they have had more
than 200 more "times at bat."
Memphis has scored more rune than
any team In the league—808—but Nash
ville Is a close second, with 306, and
Atlanta a swift third, with 302,
On the flgures to date, It-takes two
hits to'score a run for Atlanta, while
Memphis regularly gets away with the
same > proposition on a hit and a half.

Jealous of Hilly Kmlth’n success In
copping out good players like Paskert

Official notices have been sent "out
from league headquarters giving the
results of the recent meeting of ■ the
board of directors.
Here Is the full text of the new In
terpretation of the waiver rule, about
which Where has been considerable
doubt:
"When a club has asked waivers on
any player and the player In question
has been claimed by any other club, the
club claiming the player shall Imme
diately send the amount of the claim
price (2400) to the president in he for
warded to the club owning the player,
and the relenslng club shall Immediate
ly forward the release of the player to
the club purchasing said player under
the claim. When a club has asked
waivers upon a player and no other
club has made claim to the services of
the player Ip question within the re
quired time, the club owning the serv
ices of the player shall have thlrtydnya
In which to decide whether or not he
Shall keep or release the player.”

WHITTIER MILLS WIN8.
In a closely contested game at Chat
tahoochee Saturday the Whittier Mills
team defeated the King Hardware
team. Both teams played good ball
throughout the game, but the mill boys
won out by bunching their hits In the
fifth and sixth Innings, which netted
seven runs. Although Edwards, for
Whittier Mills, gave up nine hits, he
managed to keep them well scattered
and In consequence the hardware men
counted only four times.
The feature of the game waa a beau
tlful running catch In left field by Rich
ardson, for King Hardware. It was a
hard-hit line ball which he pulled down
with one hand. Also .the fielding on
both sides was especially fast and the
errors were few.

For the seventeenth time this season, Atlanta got away with a wen
by-one-run game Saturday afternoon. Dn ”
And, as has happened several times, the winning run was nun.
the ninth Inning. e “
And two hands were down.
All honor to Becker and Sid Smith. They were the men who did th.
pinch hitting, when a 4-tp-4, play-tlll-the-traln-goes affair seemed tn hi
In prospect.
Becker was the first man up in the ninth and he singled. Winters ase
rlflced and Paskert fanned. Two out, a man on second and the score
Knowing these things full well nnd even more. Sid Smith—soon to ba
of the American League—walked to bat and rapped out one of tho»*
pinch singles which have "made him famous tills year. ’
—*
Of course Becker didn’t waste a little bit of time In coming hom.
with the winning run.
And the game broke up right there.
■ But the finish was not the only feature.
One thing not to be overlooked wns the debut of "Scotty" Mackenzie,
tho Speed Merchant. / ’
This ex-Columbia (S. C., not college) twlrler has been keeping a sec
tion of the Atlanta bench warm for several days, and Billy Smith an-
nounced that he would go In for one of the Nashville games.
But when In tho fateful third Bube Zeller was soaked on the digits
and retired, "Scotty" was called In to do his best. And It was pretty
good. He found things In a bad way, but when he got them straightened
out he kept them there. ( *
And hla good showing Is encouraging. Bill Smith wants "Mac" as
one of his regulars for next year and If he makes good this year It solves
one of the pinny problems which are vexing the Atlanta manager.
Saturday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock the "Juice" at the Bull Sluice
power plant of the Georgia Railway and Electric Company went dead
and for thirty-five minutes every street car In town was at a stop. Many
fans going to the game were temporarily delayed. The cars were stopped
at twenty-five minutes of 3 and exactly 3:10 the current was on again
The cars going to the ball park resembled picnic cars In some re.
spects. Those on the cars Jeerojl and hooted at those who tried to get
bn- the already over-filled cars.
Second Baseman Lewee, of Shreveport, made one of the prettiest
catches Saturday afternoon ever seen at Ponce DeLeon park. In the third
Inning Dyer knocked the ball back of second and every one thought sure
It would be a hit. But Lewee was equal to the emergency jind by a
good run and a Jump he stabbed It with his right hand. He was ap
plauded roundly.
Mackenzie, the human cork-ecrew, wns a little nervous when he went
In the box for Atlanta In the third lnlng. Clark, the first man who faced
him, singled, and went to second on a wild pitch. Massing filed out to
center and Graham went out, short to first. Carlin then doubled and Clark
scored. Benson singled and Carlin scored. Not another hit was made oft
Mackenzie during the remaining five Innings.
Benaoh, tho Pirates' little shortstop, Is a good man and he plays the
game for all It's worth at all times. Saturday he played without an error
and he also had five hard chances. Benson has an arm that will even rival , I
Castro’s In the art of shooting them to first.
Jim Fox played a good game at first for Atlanta Saturday. James
made 14 put-outs without an error. The' same may be said of Clark of
Shreveport. Fred made .12 put-outs and 1 assist during the afternoon.

Ward started off with a 22, and from
that point forward he did not miss a
target during the afternoon, breaking
163 In a row.
Freeman did not get as good a start,
but made 84 straight. And both scores
were unfllshcd when darkness came.
