By PERCY H. WHITING.
Atlanta practically retired the Memphis team aa a pennant poeslbll-
Ity Monday afternoon by defeating It In the opening game of the aeriea.
Tt la still possible for Memphis to win. But that possibility Is so
remote taat it need hardly bo considered. To go to the front the Tur
tles would have to win every remaining game of the season and New
Orleans and Nashville would have to lose all they possibly could. As
the two last-named teams play against each other the last three days of
the week, It Is Impossible for both to lose all the games.
One more defeat for Memphis will put the Turtles where they are
out of all danger of taking the rag. And this ons defeat the Crackers
will attempt to administer before the Bluff City chaps get out of the
burg.
Memphis Is too crippled to have much of a chance any way. With
a pitcher In the outfield, an outfielder In the Infield, an Inflelder out of his
position and a catcher on first, the team Is not at Its best lighting
strength.
And so It must happen that the decision In the Southern League
pennant race will hinge on those last games In Nashville between the
Volunteers and the Pelicans.
The leaders both won again Monday. The Nashville team, after a
wobbly start, went crazy again with the willow and hammered home 18
runs.
Such batting rallies as the Volunteers are daily pulling off have not
been seen In this neck of the woods In years. Really weak slap-stickers,
like Wiseman, Bay and Butler, are getting their little old two, three and
four hits dally and no pitcher seems to stand any chance against the
Volunteers' determined batting effr rts.
New Orleans won again, tho not by any great margin. For seven
Innings the score was. New Orient s 2, Montgomery 2. In the last of
the eighth the Pelicans rallied and with the aid of a borne run by Roy
Montgomery made two more runs and won the game.
Those last three games In Nashville are going to be the whole show.
It Is practically certain now that the Pelicans and Volunteers will be on
even terms when the session opens.
Four games will be played In old Sulphur Springs Bottoms and they
will certainly be among the most exciting over seen In this end of tho
world.

the flrat half two-baggers by Jolly and

In tbe laat half of the ninth a couple of

. If you havs ever played any association
football or If you would like to play it, call
up T. W. Harland, 98 South Pryor-st., Bell
phone 144, Atlanta 1 979.
Atlanta saw Its first aaaoelatlon football
last fall when Lithonia and Atlanta teams,
mad* up mostly of players who learned the
came in England. Ireland and Scotland, per
formed at the old show grounds.
This year two teams have been organised
at 8tone Mountain and one In LlthonTa, and
It Is now proposed to orgsnii* one or two
In Atlanta and hare a aeriea of games.
Association football la a great game and
ought to make a big hit as a winter sport In
‘Manta. It doss not require the perfect
condition and the hard practica of American
college football, but it gives those who take
part a lot of good exercise at a really inter
esting and scientific game.
T. W. Harland will organise * team In At
lanta and already has several players who
will go into it. The nucleus of tht Atlanta
team will be J. Rtrachan, Grant. Grumer,
Jack Harland and himself, all of whom play
ed last yesr. In addition, Manager Harland
hopes to get hold of several players from the
"old country” and some brand new talent
of American birth. There la no reason why
association football should not ba a success
In Atlanta and now is a good ehane* to get
It going.
