THE MEN SHOWN ARE TYPICAL FANS.

But what <an W'c write? No prlxo whatever will be given for a correct answer to thin queatlon. All those folks who believe that time spent In the good, fresh open air Is time well spent, and that people who take a half day off now and again are better for It and able to do more work and better, should all Join hands on this Saturday closing movement. That the Saturday half holiday pays Is pretty well demonstrated by the fact that It Is In force In most of the big cities of America. If it didn’t "work out right" It wouldn't be continued. The deaths from drowning In Atlanta— nnd heaven knows they have come all to frequently of late—serve to bring out Into prominence the need of learning to swim. Not one of the recent deaths In the water but could have been avoided If the victims had learned the manly (nnd Womanly, too) art of swimming. This fast Increasing death list should have tho effect of stimulating In terest In learning to swim. In Atlanta It will soon be possltde for the boys and girls to get the nec essary Instruction without the slightest danger. When the swimming pool at Piedmont park Is opened, which It will be soon, the beginners will all be required to confine their efforts to shallow w*ater. There Is a special place for them and a fence around the "beginners' pool” makes It impossible for them to stray Into deep water. Every person who goes to Piedmont park for a swim will bo registered and examined as to his ability to swim. If they demonstrate that they can handle themselves well they will be licensed” as real swimmers and will bn allowed the freedom of the lake. Even then, tho, they will bo protected, be cause there will be boata and life buoys to use In case of cramps or acci dents. Those who are unable to swim will not bo allowed to enter the water anywhere except In the shallow and Inclosed pool and, therefore, there will be no dsnger of fatalities. It 1s planned also to Instruct the boys and girls not only how to swim, but also how to rescue those who are helpless In the water; how to resusci tate those who have lost consciousness under wster and how to get Into and out of a boat In the water. This sort of work Is worthy of the support of all Atlanta people. Knr It will make healthier and stronger boys and girls and will make them better able to take care themselves and of others. And, speaking of that, are there any more men'ln Atlanta who are will ing to contribute tl a week toward hiring a man to tako charge of the swim, mlng pool and to give Instructions at Piedmont park In the morning, at the time when the regular Instructor supplied by the city can not be there? J. A. Wlngo started thla off with a dollar a week. A. C. Ford, of The Georgian, made It a dollar more a week. Biz or seven more men who will pledge a dollar a week will solve the problem and will Insure the presence of a man In charge of the swimming at Piedmont park for the summer. Unless a man can be secured the lake will not bo open for swimming except In the afternoons snd ths young folks of Atlanta will be robbed of a privilege that Is rightfully theirs. Who Is willing to help slong with this good work? ON THE DOWNFALL IMMHHMMII la the lad who has been secured to —_ the place of Scotty Walker mi short. And apparently he will class nearly up to the speedy Walker. He had no luck at bat, but Ids fielding waa neat. He has the ■lae and the speed to make a good fielder. His throwing Is accurate axuT he doesn't waste any time In getting the ball away. Local fans seem to feel that Catcher Phil Wells, of the Crackers. Is all too young to carry the responsibility of first catcher on his shoulders. At tnat, tho, they admit that he Is a rrand young wT/' on Its way to be verified.

Denver, Colo., June 10.—This Is the story of the JWamp\is ball and of the soft-voiced Southern youth who gave It a reason for existing. This Is to tell you why Benjamin Franklin Harris Is going ahead by leaps and bounds to an enviable position among the pitchers of the Western league and performing so scandalously well that big league scouts have one eye fixed attentively upon him. Tho Wampus hall Is a floater. It starts rather high, but has a sharp break, either down or to the side. The brenk Isn’t wide enough to confuse a catcher, but It will make batters sweep large circles In the air trying to hit It. When the husky young Harris, who in vented It—name and all—throws this particular ball from amongst his largo repertoire lie curls the first three fingers of hla throwing hand until his nails touch the leather. The ball Is caught with his thumb nnd little finger and this sort of position puts the kind of English on the sphere that makes It do the aforementioned things to Itself when It leaves a pitcher's hand—no. it Isn't the knuckle ball, either. There now, all you hopeful kiddles of Den ver, get busy and see what you can do with tho Wampus ball. Young in Baseball, Bon Harris Is husky, but very, very young In baseball, and If tho truth be known—and here goes—he hasn’t been long away from the maternul apron string. Altho he has done a great deal of history making in hls short career besides developing an Inventive turn, named, said career wouldn't break down a library shelf In the telling. "Near Nashville," Is fhe way this big boy tells you of Ms birthplace. "Yes, but hasn't the town where you were bom a name?" he tfas nsked. "No, for I was born on a furm nine miles out of Nashville." There you have it—big, husky farmer boy. Well, Harris received the right kind of a start, all the same, to make him a regular pitcher. He lived on hls fathor’s farm until he was sixteen years old, going to school In Nashville and in the country. At that tender ago he was transplanted from beneath the paternal roof and grafted upon the. tree of learn ing, namely the Montgomery Bell acad emy for boys In Nashville, where he graduated some yfars later with more or less difficulty. It was not until hls senior year in the academy, however, that ho discov ered he could pitch ball. When he left school it was to enter the offices of the Cumberland Telephone Company, and the telephone men having a ball team In tho City league, Harris pitched for them for a couple of seasons. In February of 1909 Father Harris decided to move hls family to Kansas City, and here young Ben went to work for the telephone company again, but was with them only two months, when at the opening of the baseball season In 1909 he waa signed to pitch ball for Topeka. Topeka had a superfluous num ber of young pitchers and farmed Har- ris out to the Lyon, Kans., team, but the youngster was allowed to remain with that team only two months, when he was recalled and finished the season with Topeka. He signed up again with them In 1910, and Denver fans will remember tho trouble he gave tho local team last year. In fact, he proved such a diffi cult problem that Manager Hendricks grew desperate and bought him in Au gust of last year? Finishes-With Denver. He finished the season with Denver and signed again this year, pitching baseball for the Grizzlies that will be a big factor In their pennant winning. It was while on the spring training trip this year that he discovered and per fected the Wampus ball. There are two leading characteristics about Harris that are Immediately no ticeable—hls imperishable good humor and hls wit. No, all humorists are not good-natured. Some of the most noted jokesmlths have an Ingrowing grouch that simply shrieks "Keep your dis tance!" Harris is the author of that now fa mous story of the one-legged man who won a pennant by hls performance at hat, and he Is now trying to foist off on hls team-mates a story about a leugue where five games of baseball were played In one day. O’Brien really start ed tho story, but Harris Is going him 1 one better with a sequel. A pair of dimples are equally dis tributed upon the two sides of hls face and they play constantly like those tell tale dimples of a naughty little boy. Just at the present writing Harris tips the scales at 190 and It is quite evident from where we sit in the grandstand that he would be Inclined to embon point were It not for the dally hard work that keeps him down In weight. As it is, the handwriting on the wall plainly indicates that he will be a stout old gentleman with a big laugh when he is sitting hack telling the kids around the telephone offices of the fu ture how he used to do things to the mighty Soos. Quite a Lady's Man. The Wampus Kid is quite some lady tamer and is constantly working at that particular branch of hls trade, so the fellow's say. The older ones shake their heads ominously and predict dire mis fortune for the youngster If he doesn't "forget the girls,” but even a kid Can see that most of them went thru the same mill and came out all right, for nearly every ball player over 25 is mar ried. They are idols of the women In their salad days and usually pick out some pretty little life companion at a very early stage in their career, then settle down to hard w'ork to support her as she should be supported. Harris has a right to hls chance with the pretty girls Just the same as did those older ball players, and surely hls ctiance Is awaiting him here. You’ll notice several very pretty girls who sit pen sively thru the games Harris pitches and they never miss a movement that he makes. In winter Ben Harris goes home to hls sternly objecting mother. Being of that type of the Southland w'hlch be lieves still in caste, Mrs. Harris thinks baseball rather an outlaw in the legiti mate professions. Her son's enthusiasm Is fast winning her over, however. \ Having little, if any. past to dream over and a rather glorious future to anticipate, Ben Harris Is putting hls whole big heart into hls work and hls one ambition Is to help win the pennant for Denver this year.

Birmingham, June 16.—In spite of their crippled condition, the Barons, with vim and (lash, swept the Crackers off their feet yesterday afternoon and copped both enda of a double-header. The score of the first game was 4 to 0; of the second. 5 to 4. Of the two, the second was by far the more Interesting. One tired. In the first, of the almost perpetual slaughter. Prough pitched In powerful fashion, and at no time did the visitors have a possible chance to make a circuit of the bases. But In the second, there was a quantity of that uncertainty which makes a mundane existence worth while. The Crackers, by timely swatting and thru errors and rough work of the Barons, obtained a four-run lead before the locals got their bearings. But In the fourth, the fans, with their noise, rushed to the assistance of the Barons and W. Miller owned himself slipping. He walked Marcan, as an opener, and Phelan s bounder leaped the head of Jordan. Molesworth made the first out, but Jess TannehlU punched one between short and second. McQUvray’s difficult ground er was mishandled by Sykes, and Johnson clipped In with a luscious smash to center. Yantz flung one a mile a minute to right—and the sepre was tied. In the first game the feature was the mound work of Prough and the hitting of Phelan. In addition to holding the Crackers practically nitless, the big Baron's control was perfect. He was in masterful form, and the Crackers were as putty in hls fingers. Phelan faced Frock three times and blngled three times, the last being a home run drive which sent two home ahead of the run ner. In the second game. Corbin got awaw with the fielding honors, tho when It la considered that Wagner’s little finger has a broken Joint, he roust he ac corded the first rank of laurel winner. He pitched an excellent game In spite of hls bad beginning, and had hla support been perfect, the Crackers would have scored only two runs. Corbin robbed the Barons of two home runs. The theft of the drive of Yants waa perfected with a single hand. He was more considerate of Phelan, altho the work with two hands waa sensational In the latter case. The wrangling of the Crackers detracted from the sport and caused a halt In play on more than one occasion. Following the leadership of Jordan, prac- tlcaUy every man took a hand in the bolting. But Byron held nfs own fairly well. When Foxen, who was on the coaching line, refused to return to the Atlanta bench when ordered, the umpire Instructed a policeman to eject him. Before thla was accomplished. Jordan was ordered to hutitle the player out in a min ute’s time under pain of having the game forfeited to Birmingham. In the first game, the Barons scored In the second Inning. TannehlU beat out a bunt to shortstop, and McGilvray’s triple sent him over. In the fifth, the Barons sewed up the first beyond recall. KUam opened with a single, and Mar- can was passed. Phelan then amashed one to left, which, escaping Corbin, went for a home run. The Barons, In the early Innings, played very poorly on the bases, and three of them were tossed out at the plate. The Crackers established a Mg lead in the second game right off the reel. Wagner hit Zimmerman with the ball, and Corbin’s triple scored him. O'Dell’s single scored Corbin. In the second, Syl<es was walked and sacrificed and scored by Zimmermkn's bounder over second. In the fourth, with one down. O'Dell walked and went to third when Ellam and Marcan balled up the easy bounder of Watson. O’Dell reached home on the double steal. The Barons tied the score In the fourth as recorded. From that point throughout the eighth. It was a valiant fight for the deciding tally. Wagner and Johns were both strong, however, and tho each aide had opportunities, neither could score until the ninth. And then the Barons had no trouble. Moleaworth opened with a hit over second. He took second on a passed hall. Tannehill bunted perfectly and Molesworth having reached third, trotted home with the winning run when Johns, essaying the Impossible task of heading Tan nehill at first, threw wildly.
