’j JlE .ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS: THURSDAY. AUGUST 12, 1D0D.
I Not News
But Viewsj
By PERCY H. WHITING.
Well, well, the dear old legislature
jas adjourned without passing the
gsme bill.
Last year they did not pass it be
cause they couldn’t understand it.
This year they did not pass it because
they did not have time.
And next year? Welt, next year
they wilt forget about it or the pro
posed bill will not be typewritten on
the proper grade of paper or there
will be some other peurlle excuse of
fered.
And In the meantime the ieglsla
tire agents of the powder and gun,
trusts will be able to go back to their
seaside resorts, after a delightful and
. successful summer In Atlanta; and
worthless negroes with cheap gunsi
and mongrel dogs will roam the fields
and kill the birds. And slowly but
surely the game birds of Georgia will
BO.
The sportsmen of Georgia have Mr.
.Barrett, of Stephens, to thank for the
'killing of this bill. He It was who
rose In the house Wednesday morn
ing tnd moved that the bill be tabled,
threatening to filibuster all day and all.
night to kill It. He added that he
favored a game bill. His actions cer
tainly looked like It.
Oh, well, reforms come slow. We're
all young and strong and If we drop
off there are others with like minds
who will come along and HU our places, j
and the fight for game protection In.
Georgia will go right along until some j
day we shall elect a legislature which
will represent the sportsmen and the
belter classes, not pot-hnnters, the
worthless negroes and the gun and
powder trusts. And then we shall get
game protection.
In the meantime notice Is served
that this light for game protection
is going right on until it is secured.
The alumni and friends of the Uni
versity of Georgia ought to give one
long, strong pull and raise with a rush
the money for the new athletic field.
Georgia needs this fleltl and every
friend of the Institution wants It to
have it.
With such energetic and enthulsas-
tic men as Professor E. V. Sanford
and 11. H. Gordon, Jr., In charge It
should be a matter of but n few weeks
before the motley Is raised. Hut it is
up to the Mentis of the University to
give liberally.
WITH MUD, ERRORS AND WILD PITCHES IN LIMITLESS PROFUSION,
CRACKERS WIN FROM PRETZELS AND CLAMP DOWN ON THAT LEAD
, Well, it was certainly a lot of fun.
There was considerable of it ("it" In this case, referring to yesterday's ball game at Poncy) that you
couldn’t by any chance accuse of being baseball, but In the main tho wet ground was responsible for' the
miscues and anyhow tho best of It was entertaining and the worst of It was hilarious.
And the prize feature was that Atlanta won, by a score of 8 to 4, or thereabouts. And as Nashville was
losing there was no earthly chanco'of taking a bilious view of tho affair. ,
The gamo has so many features that a man hardly knows whore to begin In telling about them.
Maybo the main one was that Lively gave vent to flvo wild pitches. Think of five wild pitches! An aver
age twirler with good control con go thru a whole season on tnat. A moist ball, and a warm day, and an ex
cessive weariness combined to mako the record possible.
For Lively was certainly the tlredest little thing on record before that game was over. A drunk-and-
dlsorderiy after his first day on tho rock-pile Is fresh and blooming compared with Lively toward the end of
the game. If ever a man belled his name Lively was tbo man.
That Montgomery baseball team
is unnecessarily pugnacious. The Pret
- zels had no just kick against O'Hrlen
Wednesday and he Is to be commended
for the prompt and efficient wny that
be cleaned out the kickers.
Juul ought to be muzzled when
O’Brien Is on the field. The little
left-hander was just aching to get into
a fight with the nmps Wednesday and
had to be held by main force.
That kind of work doesn't make a
bit on the baseball field. There is
nothing in an adverse decision worth
going to blows over and the sooner
Juul understands It the better fftr all
concerned.

Harry Staten Matches These
Men to Meet August 24
For Ten Rounds.
In the death of William P. Hill,
Southern golf loses one of Its oldest
and steadiest players and one of Ita
moat genuine friends, tkitil he became
too III to play Mr. Hill was a regular
player on the Atlanta course and a
regular attendant at all big tourna
ments. He was a steady winner, too.
In the first golf championship ever
held In the South he was a semi-final-
1st, and In the Ixiulsvllle championship
he was a runner-up..
Few players were better known or
better liked by Southern golfers than
"Billy" Hill, and bis death will be a
cause of very genuine and very wide
spread sorrow.
Holbein Fails

der favorable eireumstances. This waa the
fifth time he had essayed to eqnaj the record
of Captain Webb, who swam the channel in
1875. Montague was in the water all night.
After n' couple of w^ekn of nmteh
making and remaking, Harry Staten
has secured a rattling good main bout
for his stage of August 24. The men
who will meet In this affair are Jones
and SentelL.
Jones, the Atlanta blacksmith, has
not been'fighting much of late, but he
has been in'training now for weeks
and * Is In form. Hentell has fought
lot of bouts sihr© he ram»* to Atlan._
a few months /ago, and all of them
have been good ones. In all this time,
however, he has not tackled as tough a
proposition as Jones, and their engage
ment should be a top noteher.
If Willie Knockemoffski wins In his
bout Monday night from Hilly Kerr,
which is no cinch, for Kerr Is extra
good right now, Htitten will match him
with Ira Spangler for n six-round or
ten-round preliminary. These men
have backed themselves for $25 each,
and It Is a certainty that they will go
some for that money.

delay, something being torn off In the
last half of the first Inning. Bayless
walked, took second on a passed ball,
and went to third when Hart threw to
second to catch him and pegged wild.
Smith's out to the Infield scored Bay
less.
That was by the way of warming up.
In the second Inning Jordan singled
and tripped lightly to first. Then New
ton started something. He bunted past
Lively. With Gremlnger'on first he
would not have gotten away with It,
but Shannon wasn't onto his job and
he nnd Rockenfeld and Lively all went
for the ball, which was a plenty on
the fielding job, but left nobody at all
to cover first. So the ball went for. a
hit. MrMurray. the next man up. had
a blngle In his system and Jordan
scored. Walker walked and the bases
were doing their best, considering
their condition.
Then a wonderful thing happened:
Harold Johns made his sscond hit of
the seasonl
Of course- this sounds like a yarn,
but he actually did. There were others
there who saw him. Of course all of
them did not see It a hit. To some of
’em It appeared very distinctly like an
error for Mr. Osteen. But anyhow tho
scorers, after a consultation, decided
to allow It as a hit. Newton and Mc-
Murray did not wait for this decision to
ho handed down bv the scoring tribu
nal. , They Just went right on and
scored anyhow.
To gdate. therefore, three men had
scored and nobody was out. But a
squeeze play went wrong and a couple
of Infield outs followed the mlscue and
that ended It for a while.
In the third Inning the Pretzels gave
an Imitation of coming back, scoring
one run as a result of wabbly playing
by MrMurray. coupled with one single.
In the fifth the- visitors gave another
Imitation. Pepe. the first man up. sent
one across the pitcher's slab and over
second base. Otto made a heroic effort,
fielding perfectly and throwing In like
manner to first, but Pepe had hit too
slowly and ran too fast and the ball ar
rived one second subsequent to Pepe's
connection with the bag. Hart was a
safe out, but Lively was walked. It
appeared to Johns that O'Brien was
giving him the worst of It on decisions
nnd he began to get peevish and flur
ried and was pitching too fast. In con
sequence he walked Daly as well, again
Inducing excessive Inebrlacy on the
part of the bases. Kerwln then sent a
grounder that got mixed up with Sid
Smith's feet nnd In his hurry and
anxiety to make a good Job of It Sid
got the ball up too late and nil hands
were safe. Pepe reaching home. A
sacrifice fly by Whiteman sent Lively
home nnd that ended the scoring In that
Inning. In the seventh, with two out,
Daly singled. Kerwln walked and the
former scored on Johns’ error of White-
man's grounder.
This last run did not cut much fig
ure. tho, because Just before the last
half of th# fifth Inning O'Brien and
Rudderham did a wholesale business In
running Pretiel players out of the game
and when the excitement died atyty
Shannon ami Hart had departed from
the game and Juul from the bench and
n general shift had been effected by
which Ytoekenfeld was placed behind
the bat. Guese went to first and Bliss to
second. Against that line-up scoring
was easy nnd two runs were made In
the seventh nnd one In the eighth. Oh.
yes, Jtnd we forget to say that a couple
more Oraokers tnllled ln x the fifth. All
of which goes to show that the few and
scattered runs made by the Pretzels did
cut one earthly bit of figure, except
add to the general amusement, of
which there was much on tap.
If you are Interested In statistical
wonders glance at this box score:

Therte came near being a lovely bat
tle at Ponce DeLeon Wednesday.
And this is how they happened to
fall out: ,
Bayless had reached third base In
the last of the fifth Inning on a single
and one of Lively’s many wild pitches.
Sid Smith then hit a fielder's choice.
Pepe got the ball and he chose Smith.
The ball was thrown to the plate, and
Smith back-tracked for third. Then
Hart threw to head him off, so Sid
turned again. By pretty nice running
Sid was able to brush by Hart Just os
that worthy, got the ball. Hart made a
pass at Sidney, jabbed him with hls
elbow and made a big bluff that he
hud touched Smith out.
O’Brien called Smith sate, as he un
doubtedly was, and then the fireworks
began.
They started, tho, with a mere «lz-
zllng of fuse and a few gentle curses
from Hart. This worthy carried hls
grouch with him to the bench, how
ever, and from this point of vantage
poured forth a stream of vituperation,
billingsgate and baseball conversation
of an uncomplimentary nature. O’Brien
stood It a while, and then he applied
the can to Hart. A few Pretzels came
up to argue about it. .The air grew
warm, and the'lack of cordiality be
tween the players nnd the umps be
came apparent. Finally Rudderham
came over from first, and, Just to show
that hls heart was In the light place,
he put Shannon out, who had come Jn
from first to catch In Hart's place.
Then came the ever pugnacious Juul,
with a word or two on the subject.
Anti he was shooed. For a while It
ldlked like a riot, for Juul was aching
to punch O'Brien, and bo was Hart.
But Bill Smith, Rockenfeld,- Kerwln
and a bunch of cops kept the belliger
ents separated and escorted the canned
players from the field.
Then the game became a Joke and
moved slowly along to Its amusing fin
ish.
The Nashville team, the most dan«L
geroua opponent the Crackers have in|
the race for the rag, arrived from Blr.l
mingham today and is ready for the!
double-header this afternoon. BotlJ
teams are very effective at present. I
Five games will be played In this'k.I
rles—two today, one Friday and t*o|

This series cuts a lot of figure hi
the pennant race. The Cracker* 8 re|
one game and . a half to the good h|
the pannant race. But each one C f|
these five games counts for a fttfj
game for or against the Crackers, jjl
the Nashville team could win all ftvel
or four out of the five. It would be *1
cinch that the pennant would again gol
to Nashville. It wouldn’t make such &l
lot of difference in the actual stand*!
Ing, but the moral effect would be pro*|
found. I
If Atlan\a can win a majority. thea|
the Crackers look good for the job ofl
being the 1910 champions.
