NOT NEWS, BUT VIEWS
WHAT THE CUBS ARE DOING TO THE GIANTS
Says Myron W. Townsend in The St. Louis Star-Chronicle:
Superseniltireneu Is a characteristic of some professional
ball players.
They scan the papers to pick oat paragraphs which reflect on
their ability to play the national game.
If they And ohe derogatory word, they pout and grunt and
curse and swear at the writer.
Professional ball players are "touchy."
They avoid newspaper men as they would rattlesnakes.
With low cunning, many of them attempt to conceal their
motives and movements.
Posing In the limelight as public celebrities, fresh water
players resent honest criticism. Flings of sarcasm rankle In
their souls.
Only the hard shelled veterans like Wallace and Yeager and
Jones can stand the gaff.
Few players who could be cut down by the cruel spikes
without a murmur, can put up with the PEN' prick.
This is an' odd failing with ball players, as it is with actors
and actresses. They can’t stand the gaft of criticism.
Of course no public character dotes on criticism, no matter
how friendly.
Iiut ball players, as a rule, are savagely sensitive and one
criticism rankles for a whole season.
The baseball writer who keeps on absolutely friendly terms
with a ball player for one entire season is a wonder.
The average ball player has a sneaking desire to fight yon if
you happen to score a fielder an error when he thinks tha. he is
entitled to a hit. Or, conversely, if he makes an error, he wants
the batter credited with a hit—in which case the pitcher is stung
and kicks.
They are a good lot, these ball players of the Southern
League, and never a man has been thrown with them who did not
like a large-proportion of them.
But they make life hard for themselves and hard for the
men who write baseball by developing a sensitiveness to criti
cism instead of growing as thick a callous on their feelings as
they do on their hands.
PROSPECTS NOT SO BAD,
DESPITE MANY DEFEATS
Those Kew Orleans games did
not do a thing to Atlanta's pennant
prospects. One tie, one victory
and three defeats was hardly what
Atlanta fans bargained for. These,
combined with the Babblers' vic
tory Saturday and Sunday have
dumped the Crackers to a point
where It Is going to be hard climb-
Fiowever, things are looking up!
Atlanta plays In Shreveport Mon
day, Tuesday and Wednesday, and
the Shreveport team Is genuinely
“easy." Probably the Pirates will
hit a streak and play marvelous
ball, white Atlanta Is there. Every
team the Crackers stack up against
seems to do that these days.
But If Atlanta la to win anything
this trip, her chance Is right now.
Moreover, the Memphis Hustlers
play the Montgomery team, and If
there Is one aggregation In the
east besides Atlanta which la cal
culated to worry Memphis—and of
this we are not certain—It Is Mont
gomery.
The Climbers haven't any especial
love for Atlanta, and It Is a cinch
that they will not try as hard to
beat Memphis as they did to beat
Atlanta. But still, they can cer
tainly do as well against the Bluff
ers as Birmingham did.
In the sale of Ed Sweeney to the
New York Americans a legitimate
attempt to keep the star catcher
for next year?
It Is very probably the hope of
the local association that they can
get this man back from New York
sometime next spring.
Birmingham has at last tumbled
lo the fact that Wilhelm will not
be with the Barons another year.
That became Inevitable when
Vaughn was signed for another
year. That pair mix like oil and
water.
Wilhelm la a marvelously good
pitcher, and Atlanta or any other
Southern League club would be
glad to have him.
Harry Vaughn ought to have
good men In Murdock and Schlap-
plcasee. They have played good
ball for the Sallies.

New Orleans, La., Aug. 26.—The pen
nant prospects of the Atlanta baseball
team got a knockdown blow and nearly
took the count here Saturday and
Sunday.
Four games were played during those
two days, and of these Atlanta dropped
three.
It' was an awful wallop for Billy
Smith. The New Orleans team. In spite
of Its many real stars, has not been
hitting the ball hard of late, and in
consequence has not been winning
games. With Zeller and Castleton lo
rare and radiant form, It seemed cer
tain that the cohorts of Smith could
draw down three out of the four games,
at any rate. But one out of four
proved to be the limit.
The Pelicans lived up to their repu
tation as hitters and garnered only 35
hits during the course of the games.
But these 25 were enough to guarantee
three victories.
The scores wore:
First Game Saturday—Atlanta 2,
New Orleans 1.
Second Game Saturday—New Or
leans 6, Atlanta 4 (seven ninings).
First Game Sunday—New Orleans 2,
Atlanta 0.
Second Game Sunday—New Orleans
2, Atlanta 1.
“Scotty’’ McKenzie was the man who
brought home the victory In the open
ing game. Manuel, who opposed him,
was wild as a March hare, nnd his all-
too-plenltfu! bases on balls gave Atlan
ta the runs she needed to get the
game.
The second game Saturday was
marred by darkness, rain, wrangles
with Umpire Eldridge and a few such
things. The Pelicans tore off a quar
tet of runB In the second inning, and
after that It was all over but the shout
ing. The Crackers played one of their
worst fielding games of the year, and
the boys from Georgia were never In
the hunt—for anything or anybody but
Eldridge. They certainly made things
miserable, though, for that mountain
of Incompetence.
Seven thousand people, many of
whom paid to get In, saw the games
Sunday. In addition, there were 4.000
at Saturday's games and a good crowd
Friday. All of which means that for
once this year Secretary Ethridge had
no kick coming on the receipts at New
Orleans, and the Atlanta club took
away some money.
Ford pitched a marvelously good
game In Sunday’s opener, but despite
the fact that he allowed the Pelicans
only four hits, he was beaten. Partly
he was to blame. He bunched bases
on balls with his poor throw to Dyer,
on which the third baseman got an er
ror. And with this combination of mis
fortune he let the Pelicans slip over
the hits that beat him.
Atlanta played errorless and speedy
ball In the second game, but the bat
ting of New Orleans In the sixth In
ning and a near-error of Sweeney’s In
the eighth put Atlanta on the blink.
Castleton pitched a nice game, and If
he had not opposed as good a man as
Guess, would have copped a victory.-

Mike Finn claims that Charley

merely because he has released
himself as a player. -Wonder If
Mike Is right. He haa'a habit of
being.
Savldge, the Jacksonville star,
who has been sold to Memphis, Is
slated to pitch the last game of
the season at Bed Elm, Septem
ber 8. when Little Rock and Mem

A New Orleans paper contains
a story that Billy Smith and Char
ley Babb will be urged to play
with New Orleans next year.
Anybody who believes that story
puts himself In a class with the
man who wrote It.

Maddox-Rucker Team Has
Challenged Y.M.C.A.Squad
Atlanta, Ga., August 26. 1(07.
Mr. Percy Whiting. Sporting Editor
of The Georgian.
Dear Sir—Having won every game
we have played In the city thla reason,
and having been defeated by only two
out-of-town team*. Marietta and Nor-
croea, we are very anxious to arrange
a game with the "strong" Y. M. C. A.
team. Should we win from them, we
believe we would be entitled to the
city championship of Independent
teams.
The Y. M. C. A. team has had a
challenge from us under consideration
for some time, but for unknown rea
sons are unwilling to give us a date.
As they are our particular friends, we
can not believe that It la a case of
“cold feet." Yours truly,-
MADDOX-RUCKER BALL TEAM.
B. S. Hule, Manager.

Special to Tbe Georgian.
New Orleans, Aug. 26.—The Atlanta
Crackers left town last night not quite
as dapper and gay as they came. Out
of five games played the best they
could get was one victory and a twelve.
Inning tie.
The Pelicans won two more games
Sunday afternoon, beating Ford and
Castleton. Frits held the Crackers
down without a tally and Gueae naa
effective In the, second game, although
he might have lost but for the best kind
of support.
Umpire Eldridge was out of the way
Sunday, and there was a marked differ,
ence In the playing of both teams.
There Is no doubt that Eldridge had
both squads completely demoralised.
Atlanta's bunched errors In Saturday's
second game were due to hla rotten
work, and It waa likewise hla failure
to see Winters' foul two feet outside of
first base which gave Atlanta her first
run In the first game.
Eldridge was warmly roasted by the
local press, and he failed to show up
at the park Sunday. Rudderham han
dled the indicator In both games.
Before leaving last night. Manager
Billy Smith said his hopes were by no
means blasted. He said he looked for
a hard time with the Pelicans, as this
team has beaten the Crackers every
series -but one this season. Billy Is
counting strongly on making a clean
sweep of the Shreveport series and
then getting tbe majority from the
Travelers.

Special to The Georgian.
Macon, Ga., Aug. 26.—Great prepa
ration* are being made by the athletic
committee at Mercer University for a
star football team this coming season.
The post several week* Professor
Holmes ha* been making dates for the

cuit wondering why Eldridge holds hla Job.
When Umpire Flynn was discharged Just
after that Finn aeitndtt!. in which Manager
Finn was charged with forging Flynn’s
name to a telegram to President Kavnnnugb,
the president gave as n reason that Flynn
waa Incompetent. Flynn any* he waa dis
charged simply to nvmd n scandal In which

Little Rock 1 * manager and Judge Kava-
nough’s favorite would figure a# the star

While Flynn waa not tbe ncme of compe
tency he was certainly more competent than
Eldridge nnd that any baseball player,

cult will affirm.
Reputable citizen* who art substantial
patrons of nil ball gnmes regnnl Eldridge as
a Joke am! his connection with tbe league
lessens their respect for Judge Kavanaugn's

Hold Water Sports
Next Saturday
The heavy showers of Saturday aft
ernoon made the water sports of the
Atlanta Athletic Club at East Lake
Impracticable and these events have
been postponed until Saturday.
The Illuminated parade was held,
however, and witnessed by a law
crowd. The canoes were 1 handsomely
decorated and the award of the prise
for the best decorated canoe to George
Walker and Miss Alice Vandiver met
with general approval.
By way of a comedy feature, a man
dqpsred In women’s clothes dived over-
h.iar.l In front of the club house as the
parade repassed during the review and
ocean tned considerable excitement and
amuhement.

The game Wednesday afternoon be
tween the Union Printers and the
Union Barbers at Ponce DeLeon park
promise* to be one of the best contests
In amateur circles In Atlanta In a long
time.
The Barbers and the Printers are
both In good condition, and the going
certainly will be warm when the two
dubs get together.
Some doubt existed as to where the
game would be played until Saturday
night, when word was received from
Manager Smith by the two managers
and tendered them the use of the
grounds at Ponce DeLeon .
All the proceeds will go to the aid of
the Old Woman’s Home, and a large

The game will be called promptly at
3:30 o'clock.
Frank Challenges Babb
For Two-Game Matinee
New Orleans, Aug. 26.—Manager
Frank Is out with a challenge to Man
ager Babb, of Memphis, which should
arouse peculiar interest In Atlanta.
Memphis and New Orleans still have
two games to be played, one a tie game
and the other postponed on account of
rain. Manager Frank contends that
the last time the Pelicans were In Mem
phis he asked that these two games be
played, but Manager Babb refused to
play them. Since then Babb has In
sisted that the weaker teams which
have been to Memphis play off ail
postponed games.
Hts challenge to Manager Babb Is
that those two games be played off
next Thursday at Memphis. Next
Thursday Is an off day for both teams.
He stipulates that the results shall
count In the championship race and
that either Umpire Rudderham or Um
pire Davis officiate. He wants none of
Eldridge, Pfennlnger or Rlnn.
The net receipts Manager Frank
wants to donate to the fund for public
baths In New Orleans, Inasmuch as he
Is going to play these games on the
Memphis grounds, although of
them should be played here. -However,
he says he will put this part up to
Babb.
"Memphis hasn't the best team In
this league by far." said Manager
Frank today, "and I want another op
portunity (o show Babb that he hasn't.
When the Pelicans played Memphis
before my men were crippled up and
not able to play ball at all. We gave
him a. hard run for ever)' game. It
Babb thinks he can beat tbe Pelicans
two more games on his home grounds
let him accept my challenge."
