S. A., slipped through this city Sunday afternoon on his way to Germany. Hob by only passed through; he didn't have time to do anything else. Walthour Is going back to Germany, where he will fill those contracts he made last summer. Hobby arrived In the city from Salt Lake City, where he ha* been most of the year. nob says he has been riding pursuit races, races against time, motor-paced races, and. In fact, any and every way a man could ride. By PERCY H. WHITING. Gee, but it’s getting exciting. It’s really too exciting to write much about. You see it is this way, Atlanta just naturally MUST win that pennant. To do it they ought to take two out of the-three from Mem phis. ,But this Memphis—well, it’s the second best team of the league and throughout most or the season has been playing bet ter than it knew how—and leading the league. At lHst the team which we have said all along was the best in the bunch has asserted itself and is ahead. Also this said team—did we mention that it represented At lanta—is “playing hall”—not fooling or anything—just fielding everything perfectly, hitting tlic ball on the nose and running bases like a field of Colins and Sysonbys. * 1 But this Memphis—well, Babb has a team, all right. But somehow the bunch seems to have gone stale on his hands night here at the critical moment. And maybe this is the secret of why Atlanta is winning and Memphis losing. 1'Se OracserA are right on edge now, just when the dash for the pennant must he made. Every man on the team is in perfect physical condition—with one notable exception. That exception is Rube Zeller. Even Castro is back in condition. If the Babblers happen to “come around” nnd the Crackers go “of^edge” then things will take a little different turn. But this does not seem likely. There is not much use in going into any statistical hysterics over the thing. Atlanta is one full game to the good previous to Monday’s game. If she can win ns many games this week ns Memphis, then she gets the pennant. There's nothing complicated to that. Just carry it in your head that A lnntn is one game to the good now. If the Crackers win Monday they are two to the good. If they lose the teams are tied, and so it goes as long ns Memphis is here. When the Babblers move on every game they win puts them hnlf a game higher up and‘every one they lose drops them a half game. And so it is with Memphis. So you can easily figure out how it all comes out—provided you know how many each team wins. This is all we have to say right now, on the eve of the first engagement. Except "Come on out and sec the fun nnd root like the dick ens for Atlanta.” And especially “Root harder if Memphis ever gets ahead, for then is when it helps the team to pull out of the hole.” BRITT AND CANS READY FOR FEROCIOUS BATTLE 00000000000000000O0000O0OO gO00O0O0O0O00O000O0O000O0g 0 By JIMMY BRITT.

E. VAN LOAN. San Francisco, Sept. 9.—I asked Joe Gnns If he wanted to send any message to the public. The question made him grin, but he took a short think before he answered: Just tell them Joe says he thinks he'll win.” Gnns has reached the required weight and Ills face shows It. He looks as If the last half pound had been taken off. Hut he Is not the same man he was at Goldfield. Yes, I'm at weight all right." said Joe. "hut I feel mighty different than that time* at Goldfield. 1 feel like I had some spring In me; some life and the strength to make a rattling good light." The Britt supporters are deriving a lot of comfort from the. view that this Is to he a fight between the new Jimmy Britt nnd the old Joe Gans. They fig ure that Gans can not be the man he wan a few years ago, and because of Jimmy's great light against Nelson, they pick him to beat the old master. The whole thing hinges on Gnns’ stnmlna nnd Britt's ability to nssltnl- Inte punishment. It Is foolish to as sume that Gans will not be able to hit Britt. He will hit him early and often. It remnlns to he seen whether Jimmy will be able to reach Gnns' body with his left hand. The Britt people are still offering 6 1-2 to 10 In very small amounts. There may be a betting Hurry this morning when the gamblers will open up and try to get action for their money, but ns yet there have been very few Inrge bets recorded. There Is not enough Britt money to go around. FOUR MEMPHIS PLAYERS CAME FROM BIRMINGHAM Birmingham, Ala., Sept. 9.—Otis Stockdale, George Suggs, Jack Law and Coollgan, of the Memphis team, who remained in this city while Babb was trouncing Little Rock, left last night for Atlanta. Stockdale will pitch the opening game for the Babblers. "I will win It,” said he. Suggs will pitch the second game. It looks like Atlanta, but it may so happen that we will win the remaining games and get the rag.” Tacks Latimer, Baron catcher, left yesterday for Loveland,' Ohio, where his wife and two children were dan gerously Injured by a buggy In which they were driving turning over an em bankment. His older daughter, he was Informed, was fatally injured. His wife and other child were seriously hurt. Just Notes This is what a Meridian correspond ent to a Birmingham paper says: “The greatest farce that was ever perpetrated in a baseball game in the Cotton States League was pulled off today by Manager MeOay and his bunch of ‘yellow quitters.' It was the most consummate exhibition of the baby act ever seen on a baseball field; It was not only a disgrace to the sport, but an Imposition on .the large crowd assembled to see what they expected to be a scientific game. Mykle O'Brien was fined nnd put out. of the game In the seventh inning for continuous rag- chewing and unnecessary beefing. Frit/, was substituted and McCa/ went Int.i the box and began the farce. After purposely walking two men. he inten tionally made two balks, scoring a run ner. "The umpire then walked to the grandstand and declared the game for feited to Meridian with these remarks: ‘Manager MyCay, of the Mobile base ball club, is making a farce of this game. Therefore, the game Is forfeit ed to Meridian by a score of 9 to 0.' This announcement was received with B ASEBALL ATLANTA vs. MEMPHIS. September 9-10-11. Tickets on sale at Oppenkeims. thunderous applause. There was the general hissing for the Mobile bunch.” NELSON BET8 ON GANS. San Francisco, Bept. 9.—Battling Nel son arrived in town last night and Im mediately scouted around to where he could place a tidy little bet on Gans in today's battle. "I lost 31.400 on Britt the last time he fought Oans,” said the Dane, "and I figure to win it back this lime by betting on Gans.” BALL GIVEN PRESENTS. Neal Ball, the former Atlanta player, was presented with a handsome suit case, a pair of gold-studded cuff but tons nnd a pair of gold shirt studs on the Montgomery diamond by the Climber players Thursday afternoon. BEGINS MONDAY Memphis Here For Games Which May Settle the Championship. The Memphis team hat* steamed Into Atlanta on the morning train from Memphis and Monday afternoon the first game of the trio which will settle the Southern League championship of 1907 will be played at Ponce DeLeon. "Spltball" Russell Ford will do the pitching for Atlanta. In'Russell’s last game he displayed marvelous form and Bill Smith believes that he Is In perfect condition for the opener. Roy Castleton will work In the sec ond game and Bob Spade In (he last one. That will leave McKenzie ready to go Into the pit and fling a few cork screws In case anything goes wrong. Charley Babb will depend on Stock- date In the opener and Suggs In the second game, TEAM IS FIT. The Atlanta team Is In tip-top condi tion. “Every man Is all right," said Billy Smith Monday morning. "I don’t know how any of them could be In better shape. Even Castro Is ready to go In and play the game of his life. But of course we shall keep Sid Smith at short, where he Is playing really mar velous ball. "I don't know what to think about the games except that we ought to win them and that the team that gets them gets the pennant. It will be hard work, though." BIQ CROWD SURE. A record-breaking attendance Is looked for at Ponce DeLeon during the three Memphis games. The city of Atlanta Is absolutely baseball crazy and the national game has eclipsed the Interest In anything else—In everything else. Baseball Is the bno subject of con versatlon wherever you go and the In terest throughout the state Is really marvellous. And especially Is the Interest strong In the three Memphls-Atlnnta games. Fans from all over the state and some few from adjoining states are piling In for the series, and it Is a safe bet that The pleasing performance of shutting New Orleans out for the thirty- third consecutive Inning was completed Saturday afternoon at Ponce De Leon by the soon-to-be champions. Likewise the fourth straight defeat of the Pelicans and the sixth straight-victory for Atlanta was accomplished. It was a nice game of the kind you like when the home'team Is closing In on the pennant. From the first inning, when Paskert punctured Moxle Manuel with a scraping home run over Breltensteln’s head, until the snappy wind-up of the run-making In the seventh. It 'was cheerfully evident,that there was nothing doing for New Orleans. The game loomed very big to pilly Smith and his men. They hardly dared to hope that Memphis would lose again Saturday, and they took It as a cinch that Little Rock would drop a game to the ex-leaders r><* Sunday. Therefore, the Crackers felt In duty bound to put that game where It belonged. Also, they felt no little pride In keeping up their record of win ning games and of not being scored against. The Pelicans played with snap for awhile, but when It became apparent that It was all over but the shouting they let up and took It easy. The only evidence of really loose playing came In the seventh Inning, when Matty became piqued at Manuel for an especially futile effort to locate the plate and chucked the ball back so wildly that It went to the outfield and Dyer scored from second. The real goods was (or perchance "were") Spade. Robert not only pitched a wonderful game, letting the Pelicans down with five hits, but he knocked two three-baggers, each of which scored two men. Bobby drew nice support and was backed up by the kind of batting that wins games. The crowd was a whopper and the rooting was something ferocious. One gentleman possessed of a sweat-shop tenor tuned up with, “Go Tell Aunt Tabble the Old Gray Goose Is, Dead" very time Guese appeared on the coach ing line and the accompanying vocal effort of the bleachers was something notable. The score (of the gume, not the song): Atlanta. "MOXIE” MANUEL. OTIS STOCKDALE. Hero Is the Gray Fox who works In the opening game against At lanta. The last time he pitched here It was on a very empty stom ach nnd after a hard trip—and he got an awful walloping. This time he Iui* had a good rest and will doubtless be In fair shape. never before has there been so, much Interest In a series of baseball games played In Atlanta. FOUR PLAYERS SENT AHEAD. The first detachment of the Memphis team pulled In Sunday, when Stock- dale, Suggs, Law und Coollgan regis tered at the Aragon. Stock" Is duo to pitch the opener and Suggs the second game. Coollgan Is the utility man who was secured to fill Babb's shoeH, but for whom the contract was too large. Jack Law Is This Is the man who Is the star of the Pelicans' slab staff and who was beaten by Atlanta Saturday. Becker, *rf. Winters, cf. I-nskert, If. . Smith, ss.. . Fox, lb Jordan, 2b. .

Since that time not a run has been scrired against the Crackers. In three out of the four games with New Orleans At*, who heads the batting order for the Pelicans, got safely to first his first time at bat. On Saturday he soaked out a slflgle that Paskert made a great run for. George got one paw on It, but It was Impossible for him to bag the ball. Just to show that he could, Cross fouled the' ball about 'steen times running In the first Inning. He was only able to fly out to Paskert, when he finally landed fairly on the ball, .Manuel'* three-bagger In the third was a surprise all around. When the bat cracked Paskert started In on the ball and before he saw that It was really hard hit It had gone over his head and well out by the fence. Two men were down when the hit was made and In consequence Spade threw Atz four wide ones and devoted himself to putting Manning out. And "the kid," as usual, wns easy. 40 59 jy WHERE THEY PLAY TODAY, Memphl* In Atlanta, Ponce DeLeon Game called at 3:30 o'clock. * 8ATURDAY’8 RESULTS. Southern. Atlnptn 9. Now Orleans 0.

Paskcrt's home run was aa pretty as any this season, and George beat the ball home by a mile, or thereabouts. He collected quite a bit of coin In consequence of his nifty clout. "Matty" Matthews drew a loud laugh In the eighth Inning. Paskert hit the ball Just In front of the plate and "Matty" fielded It. Instead of throw ing It to first he tried to tag George. For one fleeting minute It looked like a road roller chasing one of those racing runabouts. Then "Matty" woke up and threw Paskert out. Gatins, who Is not happy unless he Is In trouble, made a scene In the sixth inning when' Jordan stole. He claimed, that Otto wns out, and when Rudderhant said. "Nay. nay,” or words to that effect, Gatins threw his glove nnd made a demonstration. Whereupon he was sent from the game. He said more words anil Ruddy then called a cop and had Gatins escorted outbids the grounds. Fox. Castro and Paskert engaged In a throwing contest Just before the game began. Naturally the Rfd-to-be had the best of It. He threw the ball from home plate half way up the right field bank. Southern. Memphis 4. Little Hock 1. New Orleans 10, Slontgnmery 0 dim game).

JACK TAYLOR CANNED. Chicago, Sept. 9.—Charles Murphy, of the Cub*, has given Jack Taylor, the veteran pitcher, his unconditional re lease. BIRMINGHAM DID NOT ASK ANY GRA TITUDE, BUT WOULD NOT OBJECT TO GA TE RECEIPTS No doubt Atlanta's cheerful lead over Memphis In the pennant race is due to a considerable extent to the nice work of the Birmingham team. And Atlarta is duly grateful. Rut there are limits. • Bob Baugh, president of the Birmingham baseball club, and J*owry Arnold, a director In the local as- si>clation, are great friends and after the Bluffers dropjaMl* that first game to the Barons Mr. Arnold and Mr. Baugh hud a talk over the 'phone. *‘I tell yo uhow It Is.” said Mr. Baugh. "Mr. Coleman is with the club and we felt that It was a courtesy- that we owed him to give him that first game. But we’ll win nil the rest.” After Birmingham’s first victory. Mr. Arnold wired congratulations and thanks to Mr. Baugh. After the second game another telegram nb>ng the same lines was sent. When Birmingham accomplished the apparently ImpoMIble nn-.l took the third game. Mr. Arnold spread himself on x lengthy wire, thanking Mr. Baugh, the Birmingham team and especially Wilhelm for defeating Memphis. In closing he remarked that if there wns anything that the Atlanta club could do toward showing its appreciation it could be counted on. * Whereupon Mr. Baugh, who U something of a humorist, replied by wire: "We had not planned to ask.for anything, but since you Insist on It. we aje free to say that we would not mind having the gate receipts ae P»«nce DeLeon for those last three day*/' He got 'em, of course.
