■xitE ATLANTA GEORGIAN ANP NEWS. SATURDAY, AUGUST 31, 1907. 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.

M'DONALD. 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 the St. IaiiiIs Americans last year and found to tie s lemon, lie may have outgrown that, however, with experience.

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.

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.

About a year ago the writer In these columns attempted to outline the foot ball prospects for the colleges In the South, and at the same time went so First Game, far as to predict the standing of the Little Rock. "Big Five” In Southern footbolldom— Page, 2b.. Vanderbilt, Sewanee. Clemson, Tech Gilbert, cf. and Auburn—only that wasn't quite the llockenfeld, ss. way he figured out the dope.

Paskert. If. This season Vanderbilt, as.usual, Is smith c-ss the best claimant for first honors. In pox lb. ..4 fact. If the Commodores measure up td Jordan ss -2b their schedule, they should be able to nyer 3b put It over any two teams In the South fn«trn 2h combined. To begin with, they have sweenev c the best qunrtcr In the South, unless we n „.’ except "Chip” Robert. With more than < - asuelon > half of her great team of laet season back, and a host of substitutes to take the places of those who have gone, there la very little against them for ’ nnw .tha, tn nt-vl* AWMft.. in an argument with Rudderham in the second game nnd was Spade took his place. Tho Crackers won the first game Friday afternoon In round of play, when they Jumped on Mr. Walters and scoredthree'n'i^ before that worthy Individual knew what was doing. x This Is how the runs were mado: Becker opened the inning by popping out to Second. Winters hit t. second nnd on Mr. Page's error "Ginger" George was safe at station No t Paskert knocked a measely little grounder to the Infield nnd was out at Am Winters went to second on the play.. The going looked rather rough « this stage with two out nnd a man on first. Sid Smith was the "kandv kid," however, nnd he responded with a noble double to left field and Win ters crossed the rubber with the first run of the afternoon. Jim Fni hi! to second nnd on Page's second error Sid scored nnd Fox went to second Jordan walked, our old friend Bill Dyer singled nnd Fox counted After the first Inning Wnlterswns Invincible and tho Crackers could do nothing with Ills puzzling delivery. The Flnnites could not hit Castle ton and the going was rather easy after tho first round of play. The Travelers slnughtered the Crackers In the second game as thn score will show. Finn's Flnnites landed on Rube Zeller In the second in nlng of the last game and scored five tallies before anything could be iw This is how It happened: "*• Bowcock hit to short and beat It out. Hess slammed one at Zeller and Rube made a neat pick-up and threw Bowcock out at second Heu was thrown out at second trying to Bteal the keystone bag. With two gone the fireworks began. Douglas walked nnd Eyler singled to right the btfil got past Spade and Douglass scored. Tho sphere went under’ the bleacher fence and Spade could not find It. Jordan finally discovered ths ball and held Eyler at third. Page walked. Gilbert singled to center Eyler scored and Page went to second on the throw-ln. Rockenfeld tripled to center. Page and Gilbert scored. Starke doubled and Rockenfru scored. Miller fanned. In the seventh Gilbert singled and Rockenfeld fanned. Starke slnzlcd and Gilbert went to third. Miller hit to short, Starke being forced out u second, but Gilbert acored on the play. No more runs were scored after the seventh. h. po. a. e. Totals. 1 . ...86 Score by Innings: Little Rock « 27 any other team In Dixie. 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. ...:ooo 000 000—0 . ..300 000 000—3 Summer)’ — Two-base hit. Smith.
