MACK IS AFTER FIGHTS. .
Sporting Editor Atlanta Georgian r
Matty Mack, the crack New York bantam,
who recently hit town, has been matched to
fight Charlei Yittur at 118 pounds.
We would like to have Harry Staten or
some of v>. other local matchmakers bid for
thia.
If we do not hear from Staten by Satur
day,* April 10, the fight will be pulled off
either In private or before a Nashville club.
In conclusion, we would like to know the
whereabouts of (Tharlie Goldman, who has so
aucceaafnly dodged a fight with Mack for the
past year.
IN MAJOR CAMPS
NOT NEWS, BUT VIEWS
BY PERCY H. WHITING,
The Southern League season la closing In on u« fast, but not so faat
** th ® Atlanta team Is rounding Into form, and the first official call of
"play ball" will find the Crackers ready and willing to fight to a finish.
Atlantana have no cause to view the present situation with alarm.
In fact, they can settle back with a feeling of conddence and a belief
that the Crackers will look out for their Interests'all right.
Whether Atlanta la an strong as two years ago Is hard to say. That
*»* a marvelously good aggregation In 1907. However, It seems to be.
Anyhow the Crackers this year are very materially better-than those
of last year.
The catching staff Is strong. Sid Smith will rank at the very top.
Mc.M urray In as good as last year and that’s as good as gold.
Caatleton Is at his very beat, and, having typhoid out of .his system,
ought to go thru with flying colors. It Isn’t a bad guess that Roy will lead
•he pitchers of the league this year. Johns Is as good as ever and Tom
Fisher la. If anything, a shade better.
There’s -no picking them yet, beyond those - three, but you can be
certain that whoever la picked, the Cracker pitching staff la stronger than
**st year.
Atlanta's chief Improvement la In the lnfleld.,Rohn seems to be as
good a fielder as Jim Fox and a better batter and fcoacher. Jordan la the
»*me old Otto at second, which means that no man In the Southern League
*as ever better. Newton Is Improving every minute at short. He is go
ing at hia work with a rush now and will do nice work In the field and at
bat - Walker on third Is a marvel In fielding and certainly a better hatter
*han the luckless Bill Dyer, whom he succeeded.
The outfield Is a toss-up as'yet, but It can not fall fo be a good one—
probably the best In the league. Bayleaa continues to play like a wonder.
H*nn Is showing a marked Improvement and the old men are right at the
top of their games.
Right now Atlanta Is a good bet to beat any team In the league that
•nybody else can pick, not even barring the always mighty Pelicans.
