"rimp Put in Prep Tennis
By Bad Weather Saturday
MANY SWATS
WIN BATTLE
Crackers Were in Lamming
Mood and Piled Up Hits
and Runs in Heaps.
ie weather man threw a literal
blanket” on Prep league tennis
iy and Saturday. The tournament
I oil, ao tar an thta week la ton
al.
'•ever, definite arrangementa will
be made for new dates tor the
t. Mr. Qulgg*. chairman of the
* committee has called a meeting
for Monday night at Marlat college, at
which time It will be decided when to
play off the tournament.
Those Schiller Players at
the Lyric are the talk o’ the
town.
If there had been the class to the
pitching that there was to the fletdlng
at Ponce DeLeon Friday afternoon
there would have been a tight young
game of baseball. But aa It happened
Vlebahn, Priest and Mayer were hit
pretty freely all the afternoon and At
lanta finally pulled out a winner by a
score gf 8 to 4.
It started out to be one of the old-
fashioned seesaw games. Atlanta
scored one In the first. Nashville
scored two In the first of the second.
The Crackers tied It up in the last of
the second. In the third the locals put
across a pair of runners. But Nash
ville dittoed In the seventh and again
It was all even.
The bombardment of Vlebahn con
tinued uninterrupted, however, until
two more runs had been tallied In the
last half of the eighth and Atlanta had
won. Then, when It was all too late,
the husky Dutchman was derricked and
Priest was shoved In. Not that that
made any difference, tho, for the Crack
ers pried a couple more runs out In the
last of the eighth. And that was
plenty.
It was a fine old lambaatlous tort of
game, hanged If It wasn't.
The first man up In the*flrat Inning
for Atlanta scored—a thing that hap
pens every now and . then with the
Crackers. Zimmerman It was. He sin
gled, wsa sacrificed to second and then
led off far enough to draw the throw
from Seabough. The peg woe wild and
as It hurtled northward to the outfield
Zimmerman scored.
The Vols came back with some hrt-
tlng In the second. Smith opened, with
one. Wiseman bunted him along. Then
Storch ripped oft a drizzling two-sack-
er. on which Smith smilingly scored.
On Schwartz's single Storch came
home.
In the second Atlanta tallied on Mo
ran’s single to deep ehort, which he
outran, followed by Syke’s three-bag
ger.
In the last of the third the cannon
ading continued. Mayer opened the
Inning with a three-sacker. Zimmer
man went out. but Jordan grounded to
short and on Lindsay’s most easily ex
cusable error was safe at first. Where
upon Mayer scored. On O'Dell’a single
Jordan tallied.
Then there was a lull In the bom
bardment until the seventh, when the
Volunteers ordered out the artillery
again. Schwarts, the first man up,
drove one by Mayer. Seabough fol
lowed with onb In exactly tho same
place, only harder. Both moved up on
a wild pitch and scored on Bay’s sin
gle. This tied It up.
The game went wrong tor Nashville,
finally and Irrevocably. In the last of
the seventh, when Sykes was walked
and stole. Walker popped out, but
Wells hit one on which the Cracker
scored. The Cracker catcher went to
second on the throw-ln.
Mayer then singed and Harry Bay
attempted a throw to the plate. It fell
about the middle of the diamond and
III Vlebahn grabbed It. By this time
/ells had scored, so Bill hurled to sec-
ond to try for Mayer, but the peg went
wild and Mayer went to third. There
were only two out then and It looked
as tho there would be more scoring, but
Zimmerman and Jordan didn’t deliver,
probably feeling that U wasn’t nec
essary anyhow.
In the eighth there was some more
of the same. Watson waa pinked. O’Dell
sacrlllred. Moran went out. pitcher to
first, but Sykes delivered a single on
which Watson scored. Sykes stole and
scored when Walker singled.
That ended the scoring. Here’s the

^SHATTERED COMMENTS j
There waa much of excitement and
little of high art to the national pas-
tlmlng In which the Atlanta and Naah
ville athletea engaged Friday afternoon,
ernoon.
It appeared that there weren’t to be
any game at all—upjfntll the last min
ute—for It rained oft and on all day.
However, the drixzle etopped Just at
game time and after seven minutes
■pent In applying sawdust and stuff
they went at IL
It waa ladles day and the fannlea had
a swell time of It. To the real connois
seur It waa not peculiarly elevating, but
there waa no lack of action and that
made up, for a multitude of class.
The fielding waa the first part. If
the Volunteers had not backed Bill
Vlebahn to the last twitter there would
have been an awful slaughter. Ae It
waa, there waa considerable of a drub
bing*
Twice after the Crackers had ac
quired a two-run lead the Volunteers
scurried up from behind and tied It up
and three times Bill Vlebahn let It get
way from him. j
Of course. If you wish you can fig
ure It with a reverse English and say
that the Crackers weren’t to be denied,
and there Is something to thst For the
Atlantans, tho they hare not hit as well
as they should In the early games; are
real batters and have Mugged the ball
In many a good league In years’past.

FRIDAY’S DIAMOND DOINGS
By INNIS BROWN.
Friday'* game developed Into a great
opportunity for fattening up batting
averages. Bay, Schwartz. Zimmerman,
Sykes and Mayer Jiad th# "make hay
while the sun shines" spirit and each
grabbed off two or more hits.
Zack Wheat sewed up the game be
tween Brooklyn and Philadelphia Fri
day In the first inning. The swarthy
gardener parked one with two on. A«
If In a fit of Jealousy, Jake Daubert
drove In two more In the second with
a stinging wallop for three bases,
Walter Johnson trimmed the world’*
champion* In a 2 to 1 affair In tha
Sleepy city Friday. Five hlta waa th*
beat Mack * men could do.
This will doubtles* prove to Wash
ington fans that the big Kansan Is
merely a bit Mow In rounding to, and
not trying to throw the club down.
Flunk Baker saved the humiliation of
a shut-out with * homer.
Wilhelm succeeded In working off ten
frie passe* to the Montgomery team
Friday In the first game of a double-
header. Even then ft required tan In
ning* for the Bllllkena to cop. Wil
helm'* performance almost equaled the
stunt pulled by W|ngo Anderson
against Chattanooga a few Maya alnce.
He gave up eleven passes and still won
hla game.
Ed Lafltte earned brackets In hla
second time out. Detroit got away to
a running start against Cleveland, and
the ex-Techlte won with some to spare.
The heavy hitting Clevelanders got but
seven blngles, which, with three rrors.
allowed to tally three runs. In hla last
workout Ed got the coin oved Big Ed
Walsh. Look* aa tho tht big fellow
•ha* arrived.”
Harry Storch gave ample evidence In
By INNI8 BROWN 1
Friday's game of the tendency which
gained for him the reputation of “fence
buster” In the-Texas league. In the
second he slammed a slashing two-bag
ger to left, scoring Smith. In the third
he chased Zimmerman to the far out
skirts for a long drive with the bases
full. He drove one far out to Moran In
the sixth, and ugnln In the eighth he hit
to Zlm In deep center.
CRACKER
BATTING
AVERAGES
The Individual batting averages of
the Atlanta players, as complied by
Maurice Haas, are:
, With reference to ’’Romeo’’ Zimmer
man, It may b* said that he Is coming
Mrong. With a less active gardener In
center. Starch's drive In the third would
have been a homer at easy money. Be
It further observed that Heine secured
two blngles and scored one run. In addi
tion to making live putouts.
A1 O’Dell pulled the fielding feature
of the contest In the ninth round. Priest,
a young twirler, who was sent to res
cue BUI Vlebahn after the northern
light* had been pummeled out of tho
Smiling On*, hit a stlngaree down tho
third base line about two feet Inside.
It was n screamer and was going like
greased lightning. O’Dell speared It
with his unprotected hook and nailed
the runner at drat by a swell throw.
He’s nothing fancy, but he looks better
every day.
Hub Northern was harnessed Into the
fray for Chattanooga against Memphis
Friday, hla advent marking the retire;
ment of Zacher. This fellow hit for an
average of. .811 with Houston In the
Texas league, last year and was gobbled
up by the majors. He laqked some
thing, however, and was sent hack.
Northern makes the sixth man In this
jue who played In the Lone, star
circuit last season. The. others are
Storch, of Noshvllie; Crable, of Atlan
ta; Jackson, of Memphis; Oribbens, of
Montgomery, and Yaktz, of Birming

their liking they don’t overlook any
chances.
The greatest hitting of a free swat
ting fame was done by the Nashville
manager. A brace of singles and a
two-bigger was th* total for the day.
One of the Nashville run* he drove In.
Another he scored himself. ^
Another of the hitting sensations was
Pitcher Mayer, who lit Into tha first bnll

bagger and who later knocked a sln-j
