ATLANTA’S LAST GAME IN WEST PLAYED TODAY
SPORTING PAGE EDITED BY
PERCY H. WHITING
| NOT NEWS, BUT VIEWS
The even break in Little Rock Friday and the defeat of
Memphis by Nashville have put the Crackers only two games be
hind Memphis.
Whatever happens the Crackers can not get back homo more
than four games to the bad and to do that they would have to
lose the Saturday pair to Little Rock and Memphis would have
to win Saturday and Sunday.
And such a thing is not likely to happen.
We have rooted faithfully and feverishly for the return of the
team within striking distance of the lead. And what we rooted
for is coming true. The Crackers open at Ponce DeLeon Monday
within easy reach of the rag.
Charley Babb is back in tho game!
His fear of being drafted has been rapidly overcome by his
fear of losing the pepnant and yesterday he returned to active
duty, after a short spell as bench manager.
Also it might be mentioned that he signalized his return by
helping to lose the game.
Our old friend Schopp won that Memphis battle for us. Tho
little chop pitched phenomennlly good ball and put tho Babblers
utterly to the bad, allowing thorn only 3 hits. Other ex-Atlantans
helped, for “Whitey” Morse was at second base nnd Elmer Dug
gan in right field.
The Nashville team is evidently going to carry out its threat
to play Memphis to a finish. And here’s hoping.
By the way, now that Babb is back in the gamo and subject
to draft, why can’t we frame it up with our friend Clark Griffith
or “old college chum” Lajoie to draft Babb, get waivers on him
next spring iftid turn him over to us. Now that Dyer is going
back to Cincinnati we are likely to need a third baseman. . And
at third Babb is certainly n star. Probably he wouldn’t mind
working for Billy Smith, if tho consideration was sufficiently at
tractive.
The Southern League ought to hnVc some rule to prevent
managers from weakening teams right at the end of the season.
The last time Now Orleans won the pennant Charley Frank
weakened his team at the finish so that the race for the other
places in the standing was a loud laugh.
The same year Lew Whistler got rid of'all of his real play
ers at the finish and thus dumped some foolish bettors who had
wagered that Memphis would finish ahead of Atlanta.
This year Montgomery is making tho pennant race easy for
Memphis by letting Ball and Seabaugh go at the finish of tho
fight.
How would a rule do that forbade tho delivery of a player
sold to tho big leagues until the end of the Southern League sea
son T Such a rulo would make the finishes of the races a little
closer to the dope and would be only fair to the patrons of the
game.

New York, Aug. 11.—Eight royally
bred, wonderfully built and perfectly
conditioned two-year-old race hones
meet In the Futurity, worth 150,000, at
Sheepshead Bay today, and to aea the
atruggle of theee baby racera, 40,000
people will Jam the stands and over
flow the lawns.
Early tbla morning tho march toward
the race course of tho Coney Island
Jockey Club began and by noon there
will be seemingly an endless army
moving toward the track.
About 4 o’clock a spectator may
take his place alongside the railing of
the track. He will discern the band
of thoroughbreds, pointed as keenly as
hounds and trained to the courage and
stamina of lighting bulldogs.
Suddenly the wonderful throng,
with one Impulse, yells, "They’re off.”
Gradually tho Held approaches In a
cloud of dust. In what seems but a
moment the .straining young equlnes
are upon him. Then comes the one
quick flash from the Judges' stand at
the end of that slx-furlong dash,
Tho numbere go up and a Futurity
Is won and lost.
To tho owner of the winner will go
approximately 114,500. The second
horse home' earns about 112,000 for
his proprietor, while the third best
animal brings a little over 12,600.
Then the breeder, the nominator and
tho trainer of the winner rccelvee
shore of tho stake money. Altogether
the magnificent sum of 150,000 finds a
distribution on tho result of today’s
Futurity.
Slnca the first Futurity was won by
Prootor Knott, away back In 1888,
right up to the contest of 1(08, when
Electioneer won for "Billy" Lakeland,
the smallest field engaged for tho rich
prise Is seen today, for but eight of
the thirty ellglbles were entered over
night.
l'ltcltrr Young, secured hy Pittsburg from
the Wlckltn iksns.) team, was tried tiy

to tie s lemon, lie may have outgrown
that, however, with experience.

One more double-header In Little
Rock.
And then no more games for At
lanta or any of the eastern clubs on
foreign soil this year.
On Monday morning at 10 o'clock the
Crackers are back at Ponce DeLeon,
for the first of the Labor Day games'
with Shreveport. The second game
comes at the usual time In the after
noon.
With the return of the Atlanta team
comes the last dash down the home
stretch for the pennnnt.
Atlanta hopes are running high now
—and with good reason. With a crip
pled team the club has more than held
Its own through the west, and will re
turn to Atlanta within easy striking
distance of first place.
Only two things nre duo to hurt At
lanta In the race—the fact that some of
the men are not In the best condition
and the fact that the eastern clubs,
against which Memphis will play In
three out of the four enstern series, are
crippled and weak In the extreme.
However, Atlanta fans are confident
that the Crackers can do better at home
against the strong westerners than the
Babblers can do on the road against
the weak easterners.
And this being true—and It may be—
Atlanta has that pennant tied to the
pole already.
Memphis opens next'week at Nash
ville, and then goes to Birmingham.
The following week the Bluffers open
In Atlanta, and they finish up the sea
son In Montgomery.
Atlanta plays Shreveport, New Or
leans, Memphis and Little Rock In the
order named.
Manager Malarkey says the Senators
must have fourth place or bust.—News
Scimitar.
According to Billy Smith Malarkey
has been Inflated nearly to the burst
ing point for some time.
The New York Herald baseball re
porter seemed to be tickled with Neuer,
the ex-Sally, when he made his debut
with ths New York Americans. He
said:
The second affair served to Introduce
most favorably one of Griffith’s new
Pitchers, Neuer. "Griff" got the lad
from the Savannah, Go., team of the
South Atlantic League.
Neuer Is a southpaw who has lots of
speed and good control. He allowed
the Bostons, who had Just finished
pounding Orth, but three hits In as
many Innings.
Manager Dobbs of the Nashville
tram Is planning a scouting trip
through the South Atlantic and r
ton States leagues and will wind up In
Cincinnati, where ho will talk with
some of the big leaguers about play
ers.
However, as Manager Finn very apt.
ly remarked, "You can’t win when you
don’t score.”—Arkansas Gazette.
Undoubtedly that Is the prize "bung
mut" of the Southern League season.
And It applies to the last game Fri
day, for us, and to the other one for
Mika.
Says a Cincinnati dispatch:
"Why didn’t Manager Griffith, of the
Highlanders, nab Outfielder Paskert,
of the Atlanta team, when he had
chance?" Is the wall that has gone up
over an dear old Manhattan Isle,
"Because he didn’t have the chance,
sir,” she said.
In other words, Paskert has belonged
to the Cincinnati club about as long
as It cared to exercise Its option upon
him, nnd there never was a moment
when the New York Highlanders had
an opportunity of landing the speedy
outfielder. Cincinnati turned Third
Baseman Dyer and Outfielder Becker
over to Atlanta, and out of gratltudef?)
for the favor, Atlanta promised Cln
clnnntl everything or anything, ex
cept Ita Southern I.e ague franchise and
Peachtree street.
"Paskert looked like the real silk even
during the practice season last spring,
said Sid Mercer, of the New York
Globe, one of the chief wallers over ths
loss of the outfielder. "I watched him
closely during the Yankees’ training
stunt at Atlanta, and came to the con
clusion that he would be a real live
one by this fall. Evidently he Is—but
we don’t get him. He’s a wonder In
fielding, throwing and base running,
r.nd ought to bolster up the Reds great,
ly. especially If he can bit as well as
he did In the South.”
Manager Hanlon says he’ll play Pas
kert regularly when he Joins the team
In September. "He’ll be In better shape
to ahow what he ran do then than In
the spring,” said Hanlon, "and so will
give the new manager less to worry
about.”
A DOBBER PITCHER.
STANLEY YERKES.
Hero Is a good pitcher of the
Nashville team. Yerkee looked like
n wonder when he firet arrived In
the South, but he has never become
thoroughly acclimated. And In ad
dition he has been up against the
stiff proposition of playing with a
tall-endcr. He has a world of
twirling ability.

Not with his elbow does Cap Joyner,
the present burgomaster, take his ex
ercise. He Is the most tempestuous of
**fans." Atlanta has a baseball nine
which Is having “a dose race for first
place" with that of Memphis. Of
course, Atlanta, originally Atalanta, la
a great racing name and town, and
sporting blood seethes In Its veins.
When Atlanta Is to play the Mem
phians Cap Joyner must represent the
city and cheer the home team to vic
tory.
-I owe It to the city to go with the
team and help It win the pennant. I
believe It to be my civic duty to get on
the baseball firing line."
Few mayors have as high and broad
an Idea of civic duty as Cap Joyner,
and he finds the path of duty the path
of pleasure. With no prejudice against
Memphis, we can*t but hope that Cap
Joyner's men may win. Baseball as a
ferm of civic righteousness Is most en.
gaging.—New Yofk Sun.

In the first game It was all Castleton. The slatty southpaw from th
land that Brigham Young made famous had all the puzzlements of a
dell. And In consequence, the local players had nary a chance. If th» .Jr'
base had been counted home plate for Little Rock, the thing would still h.».
been a shut out. Despite the fact that Castro was Injured In the earl
stages of the game, and that Sid Smith had to go back to the infield .**

Mr. W. B. Wright, a New York
traveling man. who was In Shreve
port last week while the Atlanta
club was In New Orleans, says that
Tom Fisher, the Shreveport man
ager, went around. Plratetown tell
ing the folks of that benighted vil
lage that the Pelicans would throw
the four games to Atlanta. "This
fellow Fleher Is the biggest chump.”
said Mr. Wright, "to say such
things. He has been In profes
sional baseball long enough to
know better, but as a few pinhead
reporters have swelled his red head
with undeserved praise, Fisher has
loat what little common sense he
did have, and Is now a fit subject
to manage a club In the kindergar
ten league.—New Orleans States.
We haven’t the pleasure of Mr.
Wright’s acquaintance, but he must be
an awful "It."
For one thing, we don’t believe that
Fisher ever said any such thing. For
another, we don’t believe Frank could
have thrown tho games If he had want
ed to; In the third place, we.don’t be
lieve that his club could have pre
vented Atlanta from winning the game
she did. Fourthly, we are not so
very sure that there Is any such .person
as Mr. Wright. And If there Is, we are
positive that he ought to be locked up
somewhere where he could be kept
from saying such foolish things.
Wonder why the Memphis club did
not accept Charley Frank’s challenge
to play those two postponed game*?

On Inst season's consistent work, and
the general football tradition on the
mountain, Sewanee Is entitled to sec*
ond place. When Sewanee played In
Atlanta last year early In the season,
nnd so thoroughly walloped tho Yellow
Jackets, It looked then a* though they
were trained to their best nnd would
"go back.” But the best McGugln’s
machine could do was two touchdowns
and two field goals on Thanksgiving
Day. Though they.lose some valuable
men, one of them being Lumpkin, their
right guard for the past two seasons,
they are going to return enough to
make It Interesting.
Notwithstanding the decisive victory
of Clemson over Tech lost year, our
"one best bet" Is that Tech lands as
high as third this season. That mas
ter of football strategy—Helsman—
will be back to guide the Yellow Jack
ets for the fourth consecutive season,
while Clemson will lose her great
coach, Charley Williams. In his place
will be .one Shaughnessy, who made
hla debut to the Atlanta public last
spring when he came down aa coach
of the Clemson baseball team. Shaugh
nessy has a great record as a football
player and coach In prep achools. An
other great blow that Clemson will
suffer will be because of the loss of
her two stars, Derrick and Furtlek.
The former only attended college to the
close of the football season last year,
and Is therefore. Ineligible to play this
season, while the latter graduated In
June and Is not expected back. A good
proportion of last year’s great team
will be back, however, and led by their
splendid little quarter, McFadden,
should make an excellent ehowlng.
As noted above, Helsman will be
back In charge of the Yellow Jackets
at least for this season, and that In
Itself Is Just about the biggest asset
a Southern college team can have. Then
again he will come very much nearer
having a seasoned eleven to begin with
than he did last year. It la true that
Captain Davies will not be back, nor
will "Lobster” Brown. Buchanan, who
played on the baseball team last spring,
is a pretty fair punter and will proba
bly be selected to do the booting. Vet-J
cron* of more than one campaign who
will be back are Captain Sweet, Luck
nnd "Chip” Robert. Then there will
be Munroe, Snyder, Hightower and
Adamson, who did such good work lost
year for their first season as ’varsity
men. Adamson played fullback lost
year, but will probably be shifted to a
half this season, while Welsenbecker,
who has been praying at Emory for
some years, is expected to play full.
Henderson Is also expected to return,
and with a year’s hardening should
make an effective line man. In addi
tion to these veterans a number of
prep stars are expected.
Practice will begin as usual two
weeks before the opening of school, the
date being eet for September 12.
