BARONS OPEN LAST STA Y WITH DOUBLE BILL
! NOT NEWS, BUT VIEWS |
BY PERCY H. WHITING.
The pennant career of the Atlanta team haa reached a critical stage.
The Jonahs are with ns for three games, which should be easy, even
tho they ARE against the steady stumbling blocks.
But then the Crackers whirl away for a long road trip thru the west.
This trip will be the last hard tijst.
The first team tackled Is the Montgomery aggregation, now In fifth
place. Then come the' fourth place Mobile Gulls and then the third place
Pelicans. These three teams are hard ones to defeat on their own grounds.
' New Orleans. In particular, should prove a trying test. The aggregation
has never recovered from the delusion that It Is a pennant winner, and
now and then at home It plays like one. With these three hard clubs dis
posed of. the Crackers get out of deep water and paddle around for a while
In the shallows at Memphis and Little Rock.
Don't get the Idea that the Crackers have any commanding lead. They
are nicely out In front, but a lot of hard luck on this coming trip would
drop them to nowhere In a very short time.
If Atlanta Is to win the pennant, the Crackers will have to hold their
own on the road. If they can get an even break or nearly an even break
In these coming road games, It Is all over but the shouting. If they have
a bad trip. It will mean some tall hustling between Labor day and the wind
up. That wind-up, by the way, comes In about a month—on September 18.
to be exact. And when It comes, If all goes well, Atlanta will be flying
another rag.
Montgomery now announces officially that the Climber franchise Is not
1 for sale. It Is also given out unofficially that the franchise never really was
for sale, anyway, and that all the talking was done for the purpose of get
ting ont the crowds.
It's sort of pitiful. Isn't It, to have to resort to such methods to get the
fans to the ball park?
And speaking of false alarms, what about Old Man Breltensteln? Dn
Saturday he announced that he was going to retire from the pitching game.
On Sunday he pitched a no-hlt game. I
Rather good for a has-been.
Eugene Demontrevllle has again retired from the baseball game to en
gage In the state fair business. Last year he was on that job at Birming
ham. This year he Is to be at Memphis. Versatile performer, that De
mon t.
HERE IS THAT SCRAPPY AUGUSTA TEAM
Baseball certainly pays In Atlanta. The baseball association must have
taken down n neat pile on those three Nashvlljy games.
However, nobody begrudges them their success. They spend tho
money for players; they give their patrons'a nice park and desirable ac
commodations and they furnish them with a good street car service. Un
der the circumstances, they are entitled to get the money.
CAROLINA ASSOCIATION IS
HAVING INTERESTING SEASON
Anderson, 8. C„ Aup. 18.—The pen
nant race In tho Carolina association
draws to a close with a neck and neck
finish that for Interest and excitement
has been unsurpassed In these diggings
for a number of years.
The start of the season brought forth
many promises from the management
ns to the quality of the teams put forth
and the class of ball to be expected.
The salary limit was raised, competent
managers secured and It was thought
safe to claim that the Interstate was
the "fastest Class D league In the
country.”, And the class of boll hand
ed out this year has very nearly veri
fied that boast. There haa been no
bush league work, and all hush
leaguers that showed up were weeded
out rapidly. Some of the teams In
the circuit could make many a Class
C league aggregation sit up and take
notice.
Another flret-of-the-aeaaon boast
that has been verified was that the
Carolina teams would advance more
men this year than ever before. All of
the teams have had olfera from larges
clubs for some of their men, and In
one case there was sharp bidding be
tween two National managers for an
Inflelder. TUe clubs nre profiting con
siderably financially In this way.
The pennant race has been one long
guess wince the first game. Nearly
every club has push I to the top sad
then slid gently downward. It la only
lately that the present order haa been
established—Anderson, Greensboro and
Greenville bunched for the pennant,
with Winston-Salem, Charlotte and
Spartanburg fighting for last place.
Anderson Is picked to float the rag
next year, with Oreensboro second, but
the North Carolina lads may turn the
trick even yet. Whichever way It
goes, It has been a game fight nnd one
full of Interest.
There Is tnlk of several radical
changes In the league next year. One
plan Is to retain the North Carolina
towns, with probably Greenville or
Spartanburg and the addition of an
other Tar Heel burg nnd Danville from
the Virginia Slate, that town being out
of place there on account of the die-
tnnee from the other clubs. Still an
other dream Is the taking In of Co
lumbia, provided that city gives up Ita
Sally franchise. Both these plans
tvotild raise the aesoclatlon a notch
higher.
AS TO THAT CROWD
I herearF^
:
: Fans to the number of 8.200 paid to see the Nnshville-Atlanta. double-
! header at Ponce DeLeon park Saturday afternoon, and 16,400 paid to see
• the Nashville team ploy here Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
I The exact figures on Thursday were 4.700 paid, while on Friday 2,500
• fans turned In their cash at the Ponce DeLeon windows.
By 0. B. KEELER.
Nineteen steaming rounds of the classiest baseball aver played at
Ponce DeLeon nnd 9.000 or more of the fannlest fans that ever fanned
anywhere constituted the leading features of Saturday's double-header be-
tween the Champs and the very, very near-Champs.
Gee. but It was a crowd! •
Bv the time chairs are usually scraping back from dinner tables thert
were 5.000 fans nnd fannesses stacking themselves Into the big, brep2y
stands and wondering how many more would be there. By the time play
began, at 2:30 o'clock (very sharp, for Carpenter was on the Job), the stands
w ere apltltng over, the bleachers were bulging with coatless sun-gods, and
proceedings had to be delayed while a thousand or so discards from th«
exotic bleachers sprinted across the lot for reserved seats on the red moun
tain tn right field.
And still they came.
Solid columns poured thru even- entrance, while from the gates cams
sounds of striving and. ever and am n. of animated disagreement.
"Half a block, hnlfa block, half a block onward.
Out Into right field surged the Six, Hundred,
Jeered at with hoot and yeti,
Boldlv they surged, nnd well—
While from the heights they fell—"
Some of them fell off the bank, you see. Oh. but It was a canny sight,
when one of them would Jar loose, shoving a couple of pecks of dirt ahead of
him down his cellar-neighbor's back and finally landing a-straddle of his
neck, when they would fight, and the cops—
By the way, there are now about 10,000 more or less trusty Atlantans
that can swear they have seen a policeman run. That was another feature.
All the fans In the overflow didn't feel venturesome enough to scale the
mountain. Notablv. the lady fans. These sat on open-work wooden boxes,
of quaint design, lugged out by perspiring escorts. Also, there were several
rows of surplus humanity banked solidly along In front of the smoker.
When all's said—and goodness knows It's been a gracious plenty-r-lt was
the biggest crowd of the season, and the biggest In the history of Ponce
DeLeon, with the possible exception of that historic 0-0 Memphis game, back
In the year we won the pennant. It was a Jolly crowd, too.
But, then, why not?
THE WHOLE BUNCH GOT IN A "WHITE STAR."
When the first White Star car ever made in Atlanta was in Columbus recently, L. L. Barnes, sales man
ager of the company, took tho Augusta team out for a photograph and a ride. In tho picture Mr, Barnes is seen
at the wheel. Seated at his left and behind the man with tho automobile cap is Jako Henn, tho former At
lanta firat baseman. At the extreme rear and top is John Griffin, tho ox-Cracker pitcher. Right under the
steering wheel ia "Fighting Lou" Castro, the John J. McGraw of the Sally league. On Castro's left it Cad
Coles and just at Coles' loft is Sam Woodward, the ox-Teeh Tech catcher.

Some 9.000 frenxled soul* crowded
Ponce DeLeon park Saturday afternoon
and aaw a bully pair of games,
lanta took the firat one. 1 to 0. and the
aecond was a tie. after ten Innings of
heroic struggle, score 1 to 1.
Contrary to the general rule when
large crowds are present, both games
were handsomely played and wonderful
exhibitions of the gnme defensive.
Neither team could do anything on
hits alone In the first >game. It took a
let-down on the Dart of Johnny Duggan
to enable the Crackera to acore. Thla
weakening In the defense put up by the
Champions came in the seventh, whpn
n two-bagger was followed by a scratch
single nnd that hit by two bases on
bnlls. Considering thnt one of those
wns given to Walker, the weakest bat
ting Atlanta regular, and the other to
Hurry Johns, for two years the poorest
batter In the Southern league. It can
readily be seen that Duggan had
weakened to a woozy gelatinous mass.
The Inst base on balls forced a man
home and cost Johnny the game. Be
fore that and after that he was equally
and entirely Invincible.
As for Johns, he never faltered. Hav
ing found In recent games that bases
on bnlls were getting him In trouble, he
cut out the bnses on bnlls. Not a one
did he allow. Once he allowed the
Champions two hits to an Inning, but
that fluke came after two were out and
It was followed by a little Infield
grounder.
In the second game Smith took
chance with Brown Rogers. For seven
Innings "Old Arkansas" got away with
It In bully style. Then, like Johnny
Duggan, he weakened to the consisten
cy of good molat mucilage, and a run
was scored.
Whereupon Smith changed his usual
tactics and called Red Fisher, who had
worked only the day before, to the res
cue. Fisher was the very man they
needed and sewed up the game tight

HUGE FIELD TURNS OUT FOR
NEWPORT TENNIS TOURNEY
Newport, R. |„ Auq. 16.—-The largest
number of drawing* ever recorded for
a,national tennis tournament wan at the
Newport Casino for the championshlns
that begin tomorrow.
Th* drawings number 164, exceeding
the record of 1908 by It.
Among the long list are former na-
tlonal champions, H. W. Slocum, of
Brooklyn, and W. J. Clothier, of Phila
delphia. and Clarence Hobart, of New
York, winner of the championship In
1904.
In the upper win* some of the promi
nent players are Hobart. J. D. K. Jones,
of Providence; Karl Behr. of New
York, and Robert LeRoy, also of that
city.
nlng look snail-like got the team out of
the hole that Rogers had left It In and
thereafter Fisher only allowed a sIngl*
until the game was called because o
the descending gloom.
For a good long time It appeared thnt
both games were going to Atlanta by
the score of 1 to 0. In the second game
the first man up In the first Inning for
the hofim team scored. It was the
elusive Bayiess who yanked off a three-
bagger and scored when the pinch hit
ting prodigy, Sidney Smith, slammed
out one In his usual single. This
scored the first nnd only Atlanta run.
Twice when the Champions looked
dangerous the local players lured them
Into a double p|ay and then dashed
their hopes Into small fragments. In’
the eighth, tho. the trouble began for
the cohorts of Willie Smith.
Bay started It by duplicating his feat
of the fifth inning, when he dumped a
bunt to the first baseman, who had
come In for It. and then beat the lum
bering Mr. Rogers to first base,
sacrifice by Wiseman followed and then
Captain East delivered the goods with
the assistance of a steaming single.
Robertson was walked and then, after a
consultation between Otto Jordan and
Sid 8mtth, a messenger was sent for
Tom Fisher and the leak was stopped.
But relief, which came In time to stave
off defeat, did not arrive In time to
bring victory. Only once thereafter did
either team do anything notable and
that was In the ninth, when Seabaugh
opened up with a single. Butler sacri
ficed In good style, but the next two
men were easily out, Perdue striking
out for the fourth consecutive time to
end the Inning.
It was. all In all. a great pair of
games—aa fine as Atlanta haa ever
seen. And It was witnessed by one of
the most brilliant, crowds. Only In the
terribly exciting September days of
1907 has the equal been seen in Atlanta.
