SPORTS SOUTHERN IrEIWIS CHAMPIONSHIP IS GREAT EVENT ] perc ?r whiiting
NOT NEWS, BUT VIEWS
E 1
By PERCY H. WHITING.
Oh, dear! Oh, dear! They’re awfully gloomy today—thoae
regular hide-bound fane.
The Atlanta team has lost the awful number of two straight
games and the fans have quit utterly and are looking tearful and
"scary” and telling each other that something baa got to be done
or the' team will not stop at the bottom, but will go right on to per
dition.
It is a positive certainty that this western trip is going to be a
hard one on the team and the fans alike. Atlanta never could win
in the west. But the Crackers can and do win in the east, and
they always manage to keep right up around the top.
Cheer up—"and go out to see the Atlanta Athletic Club team
lav. Of course there will be no Class A ball on tap at Ponoo Do-
ieon this week or next, but there will bo a real good independent
article, and you can count on it that both teams will do their very
level best to win the games.
The Americus team, whioh plays here Tuesday and Wednes
day, is one of the best independent teams in the stata, and it will
certainly play ball that will be worth vtatching.
If you don’t care about independent baseball, take a car ont to
East Lake and see some rattling good tennis. The Southern ten
nis championship is in progress and the best players in the South
land are here and on exhibition on the A. A. C. courts. This is
the only chance of the year for non-members of the A. A. C. to
witness tennis games at East Lake, and they ought to make the
most of the opportunity.
So many have asked us what we think of the Gans-Nelson
fight that we want to go on record—we don’t know what we
think.
It seemed impossible that Gans could be beaten by Nelson.
And yet he was, in a fight that everybody who saw it seemed to
think was on the level.
The human machine will certainly wear out in time. And
Gans has certainly edged pretty close to the age limit He says
that he fought one fight too many—which was obvious. And yet
that is as near as we can come to the explanation.
William Taft is certainly making a great play for the baseball
vote. That performance in right field Monday will win him at
least a hundred thousand fan votes.
TENNIS TOURNAMENT
PROGRESSES RAPIDLY
At 10 O’clock Tuesday Ten Courts Were
Busy—Thornton and Rbdgers To Play
Off Tennessee Event in Atlanta.
THEIR LOOKS ARE DECEIVING
Promptly at 10 o'clock Tuesday morning the eecond day’s play began on
the courts of the Atlanta Athletic Club. Despite the washing rain of Mon
day night, they were In nice trim and ploy began on all of them promptly
on time.
Tueaday will be given over to pushing thru aa many as possible of the
alnglee and doublea matches. With the consolation events piling up, It will
take fast work to put all the matches out of the way by Saturday night.
Nat Thornton and Cowan Rodgers, who stayed over in Knoxville until
Monday night to play oft the Incompleted challenge round in the Tennes
see state championship, were prevented from finishing out the event by
rain on Monday and left Monday night for Atlanta. The match for the Ten.
nessee title will be completed on the East Lake courts.
Cowan Rodgers will team with Norman Farrell. Jr., of Nashville, in the
doubles event. For some reason unexplained Charles Rodgers, who regular
ly teams with his brother, will not attend the tennis event here. As J. Floyd
Day, Mr. Farrell's team mote, was unable to come on account of trouble with
hla eyes, the two Tennesseans will play together and ought to form a stout
team. f

good rule not to try to rank players
outside of your own league, nnd we
shall try to abide by It.
Hoganavllle, Ga, July 3.
Dear Sir—In a recent game of ball
bera there haa been much discussion
occasioned by a decision of the umpire.
Tha play was this: The pitcher In at
tempting to deliver the ball, struck hla
leg with the ball, knocking It toward
second base. There were runners on
second and third. These runners ad
vanced a baae on the plaj. The umpire
called the attempted delivery a balk,
and the opposing captain claimed that
It should have been called merely a
ball. Yours truly,
HUBERT L. 6IOBLEY.
It was a balk.

JACK80N, Miss., July 7c-Whlle
there Is no likelihood that the league
will blow up before tbs end of the sea
son, several of the towns composing
the Cotton States circuit are In strait
ened financial circumstances, and are
calling loudly on the fans tor help.
The Vicksburg directors have served
notice oo the patrons of the game that
they must come forward with a hefty
bunch of almoleons In order to keep
the team going, and It Is believed that
they will promptly do so, for Vicksburg
haa given loyal support to the league,
whether winning or losing.
Private advloea received from Vicks
burg era to the effect that tha devotees
of the game are rather sore at "Smiling
George" Blackburn, and It ta more than
likely that this will be Ills last season
as manager of the team.
one-half of the remainder of the home
schedule will be played on the Biloxi
diamond.
Columbus sticks gamely to the
league. In spite of light attendance and
other misfortunes. Monroe Is "In bad,"
from a financial viewpoint, but ought
to manage to break even for tba team
Is the cheapest In the league, and It Is
a certainty that the Municipals have ;
not violated the salary limit. Dobard
haa again taken charge of the team,
succeeding Fuller. Meridian claims i
fairly good attendance, and will prob-1
ably close a deal to secure Wilson Mat- i
thews aa manager with the beginning
of the new week.
With weather conditions favorable,
but with courts a bit soggy because of
recent rains, the 1 Southern tennla
championship began Monday afternoon
at East Lake.
Two preliminary matches, 22 matches
In the first round and one In the second,
wero played. Considering that the
courts could not all be used and that
It wns not possible to play on several
of them until quite late, this showing
was a good one.
Repeated showers have made ths
work of preparing the courts for ths
big annual event an unusually difficult
one. Rain after rain has washed thgm
and made them soggy, and It has been
necessary to' nurse them along very
carefully to have them In any condition
for the event.
No really notable matches were
played Monday. L. D. Scott, of At
lanta, defeated Bland Logan, of New
Orleans, In three tight seta. The Cres
cent City man put up a great fight and
will bo a strong man In ths consola
tion division.
Quite the best event acheduled for
the day was the one between Bryan
Grant, holder with Nat Thornton of
the doubles championship of the South
and some few other placet, and Hugh
Whitehead, Virginia etate champion.
It was believed that the Virginian
had a shade the batter of It, but, after
winning the first set 3-7, he lost the
second to Grant 7-6. On tho third set
the score was 4-3 In Whitehead’s fa
vor when darkness nnd Impending rain
ended the match.
E. V. Carter, Jr„ the Southern In
tercollegiate champion, progressed fur
ther than any other man and got thru
the second round, playing a winning
match against Davis. In his first
match, against H. 51. Banders, he
played some exceptionally brilliant
tennla, winning handily.
Most of the other Atlanta players
won their opening ‘matches. Mlddle-
br.ooks won from Ogbum, Carleton
Smith won by default, Forrest Adair,
Jr., won a nice match from Norman
Farrell, Jr., Clarence Angler, Jr.,
downed M. D. Berrien. E. S. Mans
field took hie match from Hence Orme,
the Indianan, and 8. C. Williams de
feated D. C. Patterson, who had won
In the preliminary round. -
Judged by the class of the tourna
ment and past, performances In gen
eral, there seems no especial reason
to believe that Grant and Thornton
will not be able to retain both South
ern titles.
The field, tho larger than ever before,
la not especially notable for Ita class,
and the Atlantans seem to have a slight
edge on anybody In the tournament.
The ladles' event ought to be more In
teresting than ever before. Mrs. May
Logan Monroe, who has twice won the
championship, will have to work hard
er for It than ever before, and may
not have the walk-away that she has In
the two past tournaments.

One of the big troubles was that
Beeker pitched a bit too well.
As a rule, the Crackers have found
Beeker to be the easiest kind of easy
picking. But he Is at his very heal
ths top notch of hla whole career—and
In consequence the Crackers could not
make any satisfactory progress against
his curves.
For another thing, Bill Viebahn was
wild os a hawk. The big boy had nice
curves, but hla control—well, he didn't
have It, that's all. He only gave five
basea on balls, but most of them were
costly. Ha also hit two batters, which

And he made an error that counted In
