GREA T SERIES FORSOUTHERNPENNANTBEGINS TOD A Y
NOT NEWS, BUT VIEWS
By PERCY H. WHITING.
They're off today for the garnet which are to decide the ownership of
the Southern League pennant ,
A gruelling fight which-has laeted since the middle of April, has re
sulted In the elimination of all but two clubs from the’ race. These two
are Nashville and New Orleans—one representing the eastern end of the
league and the other the western end.
A TRAVELER j j A VOLUNTEER j j A TURTLE j
yp
It has been a great fight—a battle In which every club has died hard
save one—and In which'every club but one had a chance until the very
stretch was reached.
There was Montgomery—a leader at the start, then nowhere, then
back fighting.for the lead again! And Little Rock, never prominent but
always ready to break up a game with heavy bits, and looking for months
like a dangerous contender!
And Atlanta! Poor Atlanta! The Crackers looked like the goods at
the start. It was a good bet that they would finish one, two, three. And
a couple of times they went to the front. But hard luck put them out
Another hard lucker was Mobile. Fisher always had a gltod team,
but somehow It couldn’t stay In the first division, tho It threw several
frights Into the other clubs.
More unlucky than Mobile, almost as unlucky as Atlanta, was the
Memphis club. Beaten out of games they seemed to have won, crippled
at critical times, always doing Its best with a patchcd-up line-up—the Tur
tles did not give up the fight until this week. Up to Tuesday they were In
the hunt
But one by one the teams have passed out of the running—all but
two, Nashville and New Orleans.
These teams are on almost an even footing. All depends on the
three or four games yet to be played In Nashville. If Nashville takes a
majority the Volunteers take the pennant It the Pelicans can win the
majority the rag Is theirs.
The teams seem evenly matched. New Orleans has the best pitcher
—Breltensteln. But Nashville has the best pitching staff.
The Infield Is about a stand-off. Nashville has the best first sacker.
It's a toss-up at second, with East the better hitter. NIU' has It over
Butler at short. McElveen Is better than Robe at third, especially at hit
ting. '
New Orleans has the advantage In the outfield.
To the writer It looks as tho Nashville should win a majority on home
grounds.
The team has hit an awfully strong hatting streak and the pitchers
are working just as well as pitchers can possibly work. In Its present
form, the Nashville staff Is about as strong as this league ever saw. And
good pitching and good batting are likely to win most any old time.
Another thing, New Orleans Is ending a long, hard road trip—and
ending It In the enemy's country. The Nashville team has been taking
things pretty easy at home. The Volunteers have had few hard games
lately, and they have been Improving every minute.
So It appears to us that the Volunteers are going to win a majority
Of the games and In consequence the Southern League pennant
Anyway, we'll see the fun from tho Nashville pross box, and that
helps some.
BILL SMITH PACKING GRIP
FOR HIS ANNUAL FALL HIKE
Billy Smith will leave Atlanta Monday for
Cincinnati, where he will confer with Garry
Herrmann about men and thinf*.
The men to be conferred about are thoae
which Billy experts to get from Clney for
next year, and the principal # ‘thing" to be
dticusaed ia the spring practice of the Redi
in Atlanta nest year, Herrmann haying decid
ed to brine hia men to Atlanta and Billy
haying decided to let them come.
When Billy haa wound up these affairs, ha
will separate himself from "Bkloskinnatl"
and remove himself to New York, there to
witness the opening games of the world'a
championship series—it being Billy's dope

of fast year's subs, were also on the field.
Ths rest of the squad was all new. Among
the recruits was some promising looking ma
terial. Freeland, from Mooney, waa on Itand.
He give* promise of filling In one of the
gaps in the line, and will in all'probability
mske a good man.
Covington was another very promising
looking candidate. He has played on the
University of Tennessee team, end will in ell
probability make e splendid man. Will Meta-

the High school and Wallace the past few

and will make a strong fight for a place on
this year's squad. Other men who were
noticeable were Moore, Godby, Roy, Morrison.
White and Bell. There was plenty of weight
among the candidates, nearly every man out
being a targe, husky fellow.
MeGugin was well pleased with the num
ber that rejlbrted, considering the early start
thta year, and that school haa not yet begun.
The squad will probably grow every day now.
Thera are aeveral men who will in all proba
bility make top-notch men. The moat prom
ising is Mathewa, from Humboldt, who will
probably be here by tomorrow. Mathewa
comes with a strong recommendation from
"Rad" Taylor, and will vary probably ba

Ben Tate writes that be Is a peach and will
make a great man under MeGugin.
There is quite a hunch of other material
that will ba out within the next few dava.
Stuart and Covington came in this morning
and will don a uniform this afternoon. Ed

Only light practice was participated in

which the team flnda itself. All the men
except four are new on the 'varsity and moat

Clemson will go thru the season with credit.
The players have the utmost confidence in
their coaches, ••Stein" Stone, of Tanderbilt,

with all the ardor of schoolboy admiration.
There is no denying the faet that Stone

the team. They are working the men care
fully, but very thoroughly alreatL;
The field Is full of candidates. Every man

GEOJJINSON
MEMPHIS, Tenn., Sept. 17.—Memphis has
purchased George Stinson, the outfielder from
Richmond. Ila is also claimed by Atlanta.
The deal waa made in Atlanta thru Jake
Welle.
George Stineon ia the Monticello boy who
got hie baseball start at Mercer Univerelty.
He played four years with Macon and each
t ear was right at the top of the Sallie
vague in batting. Billy Smith gave him a
tryout with Atlanta in 1006, but the At
lanta bleachers didn't take kindly to the
favorite son’s appearance, and hooted him
at every t hence.
His work with Riehmond this year has
been sensational in the extreme sod

THE BACKYARD LOT.

Reel me a tana of the backyard lot
And.the daya when the heart beat young:
When we’d go out there In the torrid air
And yell till we'd bust a lung,
With an old bedslat for a baseball bat
And a ball that we swiped somewhere.
O, those were the daya whan tha deuce we'd
raise.
And we hadn’t a thought or ears.
Trill me a tune of the "nine" we had
And the games that we lost and won.
Little cared we what the score might be
When we quit at the set of the sun:
When the umn we had was ao woafully bad
We woutd lick him three times a game.
Bat he'd stick around on that saered grow
And finish np strong jnst tha same.
LIH me a melody sweet and clear
Of the time tnat we scrapped like ain
When we raised a pot for a mask wa got
And ona kid dldn t coma In.
O, those ware the days of the real ball crate,
When the son naver got too hot;

NASHVILLE, Tenn., Sept. 17.—With the ownership of the Southern
League pennant and the champlonehlp of 1909 hanging on the result of three
games between Nashville and New Orleans, they’re off In the first one this
afternoon, with the weather fine, both teams at nearly their top strength,
and probably Bartley opposing Bernhard.
Ed Hurlburt, twice discarded ny the Atlanta team, will catch for
• Nashville, aa Seabaugh hae a bad finger. Harry Bay. who was hurt and
left yesterday's game, la now all'right and will play today. Bernhard
himself haa been out of form because of a recent fall from a street car, but
he feels all right today. “I hope I can win,” was his only prediction.
"Silent Bill” has pitched twice against New Orleans this year, shutting
them out both times, * to 0 and 0 to 0.
If Bartley doesn’t work for the Birds It will be Fritz.
"Handsome Bill" has won one and lost three to Nashville this year.
NUI, whose ankle was hurt getting off the train that carried the Birds
from Atlanta to New Orleans, may possibly gst In the game today. If he
does Dexter will go back to left field and Rlckert to the bench. If he
doesn’t Dexter will continue at short and Rlckert In the outfield.
Breltensteln will probably pitch Friday’s game. Nashville’s pitcher will
depend on whether the Volunteers win or lose today. If they lose, they will
probably send in Vedder Sltton Friday, aa he seems about the best of a good
lot.
Tho New Orleans has a postponed game here. It will not be played un
less things fall out so that the Nashville players have to win two on Satur
day to save the rag, and this can not happen unless rain or a tls game cuts
In.
As It stands now. the team that takes two out of three gets the pennant.
The dope favors Nashville. The Volunteers are batting better thsn
they know how at present. In the last five games they have made 69 runs
and 90 hits, an average of 12 runs and 18 hits to the game. On the other
hand the- Pelicans have won eight out of ten on their present road trip
and are going strong.
When Breltensteln pitches New Orleana will win, unless a 0 to 0 tls
results. The old Bird Is a hard one to beat. There seems no reason why
Nashville can not beat any other pitcher Frank has. ’
Fans and baseball writers from all over the circuit are here to see
the deciding gomes, and tbe attendance ought to be far and away the largest
Nashville ever saw.

L
I rode down with a learned judge upon the ear today,
And at some well-known legal case I tried to make a play;
I spoke of the ‘'unwritten law,” and asked him if he thought
A man was really guilty with his nerves so overwrought;
He looked up absent-mindedly, and then with lighted eye—
“If we clean up this Mobile bunch, well cop,” was his reply.
II.
I called in at my tailor’s with my usual eclat—
I’m kidding you on this dope, Bo, but let it go at that)—
To buy a sixty-dollar suit. “What is the latest stylet”
I asked him, writing on his cuff—he answered after while—
“If we can bag three out of four from Mobile, in a pinch,
While old Montgomery knocks down two, we win, and that’s a
cinch.”
III.
I found my system carried quite a healthy pain today,
And so I dropped around to see my doctor right away;
I piped the symptoms off to him, explaining that I felt
As if three pies of big league size were bunched around my belt;
He wrote out something on a pad, and this is what I read—
“We need about six out of eight to wiggle in ahead.”
IV.
I called to see r lady friend, and every thought was rife
On asking her to take a chance and darn my socks for life;
I asked her if she’d marry me, and countered with a kiss,
And while I waited eagerly she countered back with this:
“If we can stick somewhere around the top until we get
That bunch of Frank’s to Sulphur Dell we’ll bag that pennant
yet”
V.
Ach Leiber Gott Du Himmell! With my brain upon the blink
I fled away to try and drown my massive woe in drink;
I slid into the first saloon and caught the barkeep’s eye—
"Say, what’s the strongest stuff you’ve gotf” He answered in
reply—
“If we”—aw, what’s the blooming uset He flashed the same
old gag—
And having lost all hope of peace I stayed and “chewed the
rag.”
