THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NETVS: MONDAY, JULY 24. 1911.
ALL HAIL, ALL HAIL! THE PELS ARE HERE AGAIN!

J (mos1ty*the‘ latter) v
Yon recall the suggestion of the elimination of all
former big league players from the Southern league teams, in
order to ease up this salary limit fraud.
Well, seven moguls in the Southern league ought to vote
for it—just for the joke it would be on Charley Frank.
This Pelican team, now in our palpitating midst, is a
league leader by grace of help from the mnjor leagues. Char-
lev Frank, by one method and another (mostly the latter), has
jewed up several big league clubs, and by their help he can
set a pennant winner almost any old year he wants one. Like
a wise manager, there are years when he does not want one.
But when he does, he usually cops.
This situation could be relieved, temporarily at least, by
pnsslag a rule that no man who had played or even tried out
in the major league should ever be allowed to play on a
Southern league team. Right there Charley Frank’s big league
affiliations would be pretty badly crimped, and he would be put
back on an even basis with the other moguls.
Also, we could all afford to let him dodge the salary limit
all he wanted. In fact, under the proposed scheme there
wouldn’t be any limit or any need for one. The big league
players are the men who make limit-dodging an absolute ne
cessity.
Nobody on earth is childish enough to suppose that Char
ley Frank’s team has spent the season inside the salary limit.
The idea is a joke. And we don’t in the least care. Frank
is the league’s best joker. And he will win a pennant.
We don’t know how he works the thing. Doubtless, his
big league friends help him out. But he has a high-priced
team. and. of course, his list of salaries as sent in to President
Kavanaugh is well inside the limit.
Wise old Charley 1
The more one thinks of this “no-hig-lengue-players-allow-
ed" idea the better one likes it
Let’s take the salary limit off entirely, bar former big
leaguers and big-league try outs. And when you do you even
up the race and make the Southern league the greatest in
cubator of baseball talent in the Union.

BY CRACKERS
Won One Game From Barons
Saturday and Gave Them
Good Chase in Other.
The rejuvenation, renovation or re
habilitation (term it as you will) of the
Cracker club was pretty strongly In
evidence. This lowly bunch won one
nice game and lost one of exactly the
same variety to the Birmingham • club
Saturday afternoon.
Really, first-class ball was played.
In the first game the Crackers won by
taking advantage of the Barone' only
mlspleye. The second they lost by In
ability to hit In the one real pinch. The
scores were 1 to 0 and 0 to 1. Close, eh 7
Well, they were Just ss close as they
look. Miller pitched grahd bait In the
first and Tommy Atkins did likewise In
the second. A few bits behind the
southpaw would have given him a vic
tory, but Prough staved them off pretty
handily, as he ueually does
Dutchy Zimmerman put up a grand
game, and If Prough hadn't passed him
wheit the pinch was tightest tn ths sec
ond game, he might have won It for
the Crackers.

HAPPENINGS IN \
THE MAJOR
LEAGUES
'By LEN GRAVES,
Hal Chase's Yankees made It four In
a row ofl-thd Detroit grounds from
Jennings' league-leading Tigers, by
clipping ths battle of Sunday, by the
score of 7 to 4. The New Yorkers made
a Garrison finish In ths ninth inning.
Wild Bill Donovan was on the mound
for the Tigers and was touched up pret
ty lively at the end of the gome.
The Washington Senators had the
distinction Sunday of celebrating their
first 8L Louts victory. Walter John
son wss In the rifle pit for the Senators
and held his opponents Jo five scattered
blnglea. The final coikt was 6 to 1,
the big end of the bar^fruolng to the
Washington crew,
The faet-golng Cleveland Naps put It
over the Red Sox In an eleven-inning
combat to the count of 3 to 3. Mitchell
started the game for the Naps, but did
not fart well In the first round. He
was relieved by Gregg, the youngster
who bids fair to cop some pitching
laurels this season In the Ban Johnson
circuit.
Only one encounter was witnessed in
ths National league Sunday, and that
was between the St. Louis Cardinals
and Griffith's Cincinnati Reds. Scis
sors Balls, twirled for the Bresnahan
corps and was outpltchcd, but ho had
the luck and won. Caspar held the
Cardinals to five hits.
Memphis dropped the Mobile outfit
down s few polius by taking the only
game played In the Southern league
Sunday. Swalm, of Memphis, starred
with the willow, getting a couple of
home runs out of throe times up.

It Is virtually certain that If Britton

TWO BATTLES TODAY
WITH PELICAN CLUB
Postponed Game Which Re
sulted From Double-Header
Decided Today.
A double-header will be played at
Ponca DeLeon park today with tho
Pelicans.
Ths postponed game hangs over from
Juno 4, when the Crackers and tha Pel
icans spilt on abbreviated effort by the
score of I to S. Fraser and Britton
were the opposing hurlera that day.
Palga and Johns are due to work for
the Crackers. Little la known as to
the probable pltchera for the Pelicans.
The line-up of the Crackers la also In
doubL Browne should arrive shortly
before train time end If he does, and If
ha seems fit, ha will be put In the
game. There Is an outside ehanca that
O'Dell will bo able to perform. Whether
or not Wells can get In If needed la
about a toss-up. Hla finger waa spilt
In tho lost game Saturday, but the In
jury la not a serious one.
Here la a reasonably accurate guess
at the line-up, tho the chances are It
will be wrong. In fact, Otto Jordan
hlmaelf will not know for aura until Just
before the game beglna how ha can line
them up. This Is the guess:
