TIIE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 3907.
CRACKERS WIN FIRST LABOR DAY GAME FROMl SHREVEPORT
NOT NEWS, BUT VIEWS
The last hard fight for the Southern League pennant is on in
earnest. The home stretch has been reached. From today until
September 14 the fight will be as bitter as ever fight was.
There are those in Atlanta with little enough basebalf judg
ment and financial good sense to bet even money that Atlanta
will win the pennant.
Down in the bottom of our heart we have a sneaking notion
that Atlanta is going to win it. But don’t rate too lightly the
task ahead of the Crackers.
Atlanta is three games behind. That is not much, but it is
considerable to pick up in twelve playing days—especially from
the team which has succeeded in keeping ahead of Atlunta most
of the present season.
Memphis is in good condition. Barring the fact that Owens
has given place to Jack Law, the Bluffers of today dre the Bluf
fers at their best.
Also don't overlook the fact that Memphis will have a couple
of Sally pitohors to finish out the season with them, which will
lighten the burden somewhat on the already overworked Babbler
staff.
Don't overlook either the fact wo have so often mentioned—
that Memphis plays the cinch teams the rest of the season while
Atlanta tackles tho terrors.
Figured down to the limit, Atlanta is ns good as, Memphis
and has a shade of advantage in the coming series because the
games will be played on the home grounds.
Nashville is probably a little “cinchicr” than Shreveport, but
Memphis plays Nashvillo at Nashville, while we get the Pirates
here. So there is not much advantage there. %
But Birmingham and Montgomery, at their own homes, are
easier than Little Rock and Now Orleans on the road, and so in
two of the four series the Crackers have the hard end of the prop
osition.
Maybe that Isn’t clear, but that’s tho way it figures out in
what serves us for a mind.
Any way you look at it Atlanta has got to play a bit better
ball to keep even with Memphis and qtiito a bit better to over
come the Bluffers’ lead.
We rather think that Bill Smith nnd his Crackers can do it
and we are rooting so hard that it hurts.
Wo don’t care to go into the chiekon counting business Rub-
sequent to the conclusion of the period of incubation, ns it were,
but we do want to sny that if the Crcakers win that pennant we
fans of Atlanta ong’it to give them a benefit game that will put
all benefit gnmes of tho South so far to the punk that tho other
towns will be ashamed to mention that they ever had ’em.
But more of this anon, we trust.

Put It Over Visitors
, by Score of
6 to 2.
Before o good morning crowd the lo
cals celebrated their home coming and
Labor Day by defeating the husky
Pirate*'from Shreveport In the first
game of the double-header, score 6 to 2.
Heally, It wasn't so much credit to
bump the Pirates, because they landed
here late, and had to get Into the go
ing right after breakfast. Besides Russ
Ford was on the Hinging heap, and he
held the Fisher cohorts in check.
The visitors showed the effects of
the long trip and the emptiness of their
bread baskets by playing a rather
slovenly fielding game. Then Beeker
was hit rather savagely.. Every man
on the team peeled off a safety except
Ford, who did not need to hit. Atlan
ta's first runs came In the fourth on
Smith's single. Fox's sacrifice, War-
render’s wild heave and Sweeney's
screamer for two sacks. A Jumble of
hits and errors put three more around
in the sixth.
Shreveport made her only runs In
the fifth on Jordan's mlscue, and hits
by Beeker, Benson and Daley.
The second game will be called at 4
o’clock Monday afternoon, and It Is ex
pected that the grounds will be Jammed
with humanity.

Charleston, S. C., Sept. 2.—Charles
ton ha* won tho pennant In the game*
of last week, played on her own
ground*, with Savannah nnd Colum
bia. Nelthor of the«e two rombina-
tlons could stop the terrlblo Sea Gulin,
who batted their way through tho op
position with little effort.
Jacksonville, which ha* given
Charleston a olo»e race all through
the season, cannot possibly overtake
the Gull team now. and ran only hope
for second place. Charleston closes the
season with the tatlenders, playing
four games there, and the last contest
on September 3. Then back to the city
the champions come, for a benefit
game Thursday.
At a meeting of the stockholders and
club owners here Saturday afternoon
It was practically decided that Mat
thews should again have control of
tho Charleston team, owning some of
the stock, and bring represented on
the ground of action by Pat Meany.
Matthew* will probably manage In per

Billy Smith announces that there
will be an exhibition game nnd field
day Monday, September 16, at Ponce
DeLeon for the benefit of the players
of the Atlanta team. Tickets will bo

a nifty sum will be realized for tho At

The Shreveport team mhkes Its posi
tively Inst appearance In Atlanta Tues
day and the following day Charley
Frank's pets put In. an appearance for
fourt straight games.
Babb ha* suspended Pitcher Crlstall

the pennant, will help "Big” Ed Hurl-
burt out with the catching.
Crlstall, who drew suspension, was
leading the Memphis twlrler* In per

pended.
The Injury to Castro has made It
necessary for Billy Smith to ask waiv

The drafting season for the majors
began September 1, nnd .the very , first
crop of drafts hit Atlanta for one man
—Bob Spade—and sends an Atlantan
Tommy McMillan—to the Brooklyn
team for a trial.
The drafting of Spade Wat a distinct
shock.
Bob'a record as a pitcher, while very
good at one time, was not good enough
to make hie drafting to the big leagues
likely. Doubtless the Cincinnati sleuths
have spotted Bob as a batting star, and
plan to give the hard-hitting ex-Sally
Leaguer a chance In the outfield.
The drafting of Tommy McMillan,
the ex-Teeh star, from Jacksonville
was not unexpected. The Brooklyn
people had their eyes on Tommy thle
spring, and liked the way ho worked.
They tried to get him then, and have
compromised by drafting him now. If
Tommy can hit the ball, he will cer
tainly make good. He le a fielder with
few equate In the South.
Two other Southern Leaguers were
drafted—Frlta, of New Orleans, by
Philadelphia Americans, aand Wells, of
Nashville, by St. Louis Americans. It
was given out some lime ago that Welle
had been sold to Brooklyn, and It is
likely that the St. Louie man's foot
slipped when he drafted a player al
ready aold to another major league
club.
Another player well known In At
lanta who has been drafted Is “Ducky"
Holmes, of Augusta, who has been
landed by Brooklyn. Holmea pitched
a winning game against Atlanta here
this spring.
SATURDAY’S GAMES
Little Rock. Ark., Sept. 2.—Smith grabbed one game of the double,
header here Saturday and Finn the other. Scores, Atlanta 3, Llt'.le Rock •
2, 11 Innings; Little Hock 3, Atlanta 1.
The gentleman with the nam'i like a Scotch sneeze—McKenzie for.
sooth—got credit for winning the first game and by so doing put a double,
and twisted cinch on Ills claim as the leading pitcher of the league. He
gave Little Rock 7 hits which netted 2 runs. These came In the early
part of the exhibition and as Atlanta was runless until the seventh InnI-i*
things looked dubious for the Georgians. In the lucky seventh, though
Atlanta grabbed out a couple of runs, due to two punk errors and a few
other things.
Then events racked along smoothly to the. eleventh inning, with the
score 2 to 2.
Bill Dyer was the gent who slid across with the winning run. With
one down Boston Bill doubled to Rockenfeld and scored when that worthy
pulled off his second error by throwing wild after stbpplng Sweeney's hot
grounder.
In the second game Bob Spade pitched for Atlanta and let the Travel,
lers have only 5 lilts. But they took a bunch of them In the second In.
nlng and plied up three runB. After that Spade' pitched his usual strong
up-lilll game. But the hill was too steep. Only once could Atlanta score
and that was In the fifth when one was put over.

Jumpers, divided Into forty separate
classes. Coming at the height of the
Newport season, the show promises to

TOMMY M'MILLAN.
Dan McGugln, coach of the Vander
bilt University football team, has the
following to say In regard to an All-
Southern Intercollegiate Athletic As
sociation team In Spalding's Football
Guide, which has Just made its ap
pearance:
For center, Stone, of Vanderbilt, was
best. He has been given this honor
since his freshman year. Ho has that
quality every good center should have
that of getting. down the field fast
under kicks. He Is very agile, 6 feet 3
Inches high, and weighs 180 pounds.
Connor, of Mississippi Agricultural and
Mechanical, formerly a remarkable
center nt Virginia, Is out of the run
ning for center on the line, Inasmuch
as-he seemed to lack condition.
Derrick, of Clomson, is a veteran, a
power on his team, and should be
placed at left guard. Chorn. of Van
derbilt. though light, should bo given
the other guard, because of his charg
ing ability nnd habit of always being
on the. ball.
Pritchard, of Vanderbilt, was clearly
the bdst of tackles. He is very strong
and has learned to uso all of his
power. He was brilliant getting down
under punts; Stone, of University-of
the South, Is a very valuable man. He
is heavy, willing and strong and Is
very reliable and consistent nnd would
make a good running mate for Pritch
ard.
Robert Blake, of Vanderbilt, has
been uniformly chosen tho best end In
the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic
Association during the three years of
his footbnll career. He excels In all
the qualities of a good end. He Is
Btrong, fast and cool, nnd Is always In
the right place. He Is a punter of high
order and very clever at delivering
long and short passes.
Though not exactly orthodox, I will
choose Shipp, of University of the
South, as the other end. He Is a strong,
fast, heavy man, and though at half
last year, would make a dangerous man
at end. Lewis, of the University of the
South, Is also a good end, while Vaughn
Blake, of Vanderbilt, another six-foot
er of the Blake family, did some very
clever work last season.
■Sam Coston. of Vanderbilt, was ths
best of the Southern Intercollegiate
Athletic Association's quarters last lea.
son. He runs like a rabbit, Is cool an]
lins an nbudanco of nerve and head.
Dan Blnke, right half; Craig, left half,
and Manier. fullback, all of Vanderbilt,
have nad unanimous call for their re.
-■pectlvi- I'M sill, .ns upon tin- :■
Intercollegiate Athletic Association.
Blnke Is an adroit, clever - player of a
wealth of speed, and one who has
lenrned to use It to the beat advantage.
Craig Is brilliant, especially with the
ball. Running at full speed, he dodges
and straight-arms his way through s
broken field In a very spectacular man
ner.
There were few fullbacks In thl
country lost year who could fill Ma-
nler's shoes. He Is an Ideal build for
his position, being a veritable battering
ram. He hits tho line with terrific
speed and abnndon, keeps his feet and
Is always headed toward his opponents
goal.
The.leading teams-should rank about
ns follows: Vanderbilt, University of
the South. CIcmson, Texas. Alabama,
Georgia Tech, Georgia, Auburn, Mis
sissippi,* Tonnessee. Mississippi Agri
cultural and Mechanical College, Cum
berland and Mercer.
Who I* the best pitcher in the
Southern League?
Why, none other than Old College
Chum McKenzie, the man who Invent
ed oatmeal.
You might not think It to look at him,
but McKenzie has won » games and
lost Just 2 since be Joined the Crack
ers.
“Whltey” Guese. he of the .cold feet
and the fancy curves. Is second among
the Southerners, and leads those per
