i THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS: TUESDAY, JULY 25, 1011. SPORTS| CRACKERS. BEGINNING TO LOOK LIKE REAL TEAM EDITED BY PERCY H. WHITING eTOand^l’iewjS ( mosttyIthe latter) t When a real, ingrowing faness taken to scoffing, the scoffs and spoofs and stuff just fairly fly. We cite this as an ex ample: » Sporting Editor the Georgian. Dear Mr. Whiting: 1.have been ao busy lately that l liad forgotten the ailly ,raaon Is upon us until I read Not News But Views" In Friday's Georgian. Any t,...l can break Into print, but it la a singularly rare and lucky fool who can get a wise man to foster bin foollshneea with euch diverting gravity. Presumably this pretty idea would apply to all minor leagues; sach club could pay its players any salary It pleased, the one and only limiting feature being that p.i player must ever have played In a league of a higher class. Let us he local a nv.ment: Zimmerman Is stated for a try-out with the Cubs this fall. Suppose Isn’t quite the Cub class yst, and that no other major league club needs him; shall ho never play another game of professional ball? What of all the many bril liant young players who u« not quite fast enough for what Mr. Grantland Rice persistently refers to as The Big Tent, yet who are absolutely the class of minors —men like Hess and Atkins. ray? No more baseball for them? And the older player*—Breltenstein Is the first to mind, of course, in the Southern—the "old fellows ’ who still have years of splendid ' who are done with the majors—the "old. heads'* that steady yames out of the lire by sheer, hard-earned experience- them, either? Dach club to have fourteen players, four of whom can have previously played In the league of which their club Is a member, or In some other league of the lame class—Just four. The other ten must bs chosen from a lower league, or from no league at alL Kindly oonslder. Each and every manager must sell or lire his entire team each and every year, save the four. (Why four, anyway—why not three or live or one?) Where would this army of players go? D to C and c to B. and B to A, and A to the majors. Well. ' ' major leagues—how many In the Class A?

Very sincerely. , . A KAN(EHS). Nix, nix on thig ribald joshing! We only said that the idea propounded by the Augusta chsp was novel and interesting, and that it. contained one real plan for bettering the situation in the Son'thern league—that of cutting out all former big leaguers. We don’t ask that any other leagues than the Southern take up this idea. And, of course, even if the Southern did, few others would. As for Zimmerman—what if he was barred by a big league trial! We got him from a smaller league, as we did Wells, Johns, Sykes and 0 ’Dell, and \te can get more. As for Breitenstein and his ilk—why, they are the very chaps who have made the South ern league salary limit a delusion and a snort. Fear not—the Southern league isn’t in the least likely to adopt the plan. But we still hold that it isn’t at all a bad one. The fans of Atlanta will be called on between now and the end of the season to contribute to the Scotty Walker bene fit game. No contribution toward such a cause could be more worthy. Scotty was injured while on duty. The lows .of'the Southern league forbid the Atlanta Baseball association to con tinue Walker’s salary while he is ill. So it is up to the fans. And yon, Mr. Fan, are YOU going to do YOUR part! AUGUSTA EXPLAINS WHERE IT STANDS IN SQUABBLE And Incidentally Takes Heavy Fall Out of Some Other Sally League Clubs. By THOMAS J. HAMILTON. Augu*U, Ga., July 2S.—Just now when the cry I* being railed In certain cltler of the league to "kick Augusta Into llni or kick her out of the league." It ap pears to the people of this city that something should be said In defense of the burg. When a league meeting was called In Augusta for the middle of June the lo cal franchise had been turned over to the league by the owners because they did not feel like losing any mors money. A new baseball syndicate was organ ized here and It was with tha distinct understanding that avery club In the league be within the (alary limit by Juno 23 that the new owners consented <o operate the club. All the local fans •aw that fonr clubs would be In the lead and four would be trailing In the •eeond half of the season, ss was, the ease in the first, unless the strong clubs weakened their teams by cutting oft the salaries of some of their star players or ■old them to other clubs. It was con ceded and agreed to by all of the di rectors present that tha only salvation would be the observance of the fl.900 ■alary limit, and every director agreed <o observe the limit A penalty of $100 Was fixed aa-the.flret fine for violating 'he limit and a second offense would ■oean a forfeiture of the franchise. Albany In Limit! Wow! June 32 came and found Augusta and Jacksonville the only clubs that were '» the limit. Albany claimed to be In 'he limit also by putting In the contract f U'eimer at 1100 per month and that "I Aleock at 3175 per mopth. However, when these two players were asked by President Joyner to sign affidavits that ™y did not receive money from out side sources, they refused to do It. As *'»* predicted, the failure of the clubs 1,1 get In the limit caused Columbia, 'many, Columbus and Macon to rush "> i he front In the second half of the ■ '> >n, just vis they did In the drat, 'ugusta couldn’t compete with clubs " ji paid 12,(00 per month for their 'rams and the locals began to lose. The attendance dropped almost to nothing. During the last flfteen days the tesm ' J* at home the management lost 1(0 per day. President Willard about two weeks began a campaign to get a league meeting to straighten matters out. ' '"ally, after getting Secretary Far- "f the National Association of ".isehall Clubs In behind President '">ner the latter called a meeting, '! ilch was held several days ago In "J'annah. Joyner Knocks Augusts. ' It ho Augusta was one of the two or "■ree dubs observing the salary limit, “id oltho this club had asked for noth- except that the other clubs observe •" limit. President Joyner gave out an mtervlew before the meeting saying ’Mat he would make Augusta "walk tho blank." The league meeting lasted for about .lx hours and resulted In prac- J ally nothing except tn remit all the , "**■ Joyner had Imposed on the clubs T violating the salary Unit. A com- "ice was appointed to Investigate Au- -' i*!a and to take the franchise If they '"•n’t think matters wer* as they •Imuld b« here. .‘"lumbla and Macon. the league the ten per cent of the. re ceipts of each game for the past two pears, are two of the clubs that are raising so much noise. It Is understood In Augusta also that neither of them has paid the 3300 guarantee that each club Is supposed to deposit at the be ginning of each season. To dig Into a little history. When In 1903 Lou Castro managed Augusta tht season was divided. Chattanooga won i first series and Augusta the second. BIG LEAGUES RECONSTRUCTED CRACKERS WILL SOON BE IN THE GAME , King Cole, who,has become the most dependable twirler on Prank Chance’s staff of late and Is new bearing the brunt of the work in the Chicago Cube* fight for the 1911 pennant. Cole haa proved stronger against the leading elube than when oppeelng tail-enders, which makes him doubly of value to the Pee'rlete Leader, RAIN SAVED CRACKER CLUB Once More a Downpour Came to Rescue of Atlanta and Game Was Called Off. Rain saved Atlanta again yesterday. With the third Inning half gone, the Crackers two runs to the bad* and Breltenstein going strong, rain camo down in a deluge and the game was called off. SAM WEEMS RELEA8ED. Maoon, Ga„ July 25.—The local club has unconditionally released Pitcher Sam Weems and It Is probable that he will sign with Columbus. Weems Is a Chattanooga was allowed at that time graduate of Auburn and while there at- to get Demaree from Savannah and Helm from Columbus at the very end of the season, and won the pennant over Augusta. This was done In vloi latlon of the league constitution and Augusta was not permitted to use Wag ner, a player who had been purchased from Columbia several weeks before the season was ended. Fans all over the South recall what a deal Augusta re ceived at that time and the local club haa been treated badly ever since. However, the league can't get along without this city, and If Augusta leaves the Sally there will be a hard time In etore for the others. v Sslly Needs Augusts. When Aesop penned his famous fa bias he forgot to write one about t wheel. The spokes, the rtm and the tire all talked with great gusto about what thqy Intended doing, but when they came to think about doing all they had planned they found that they had forgotten the hub. The hub Is a very necessary portion of a wheel. Augueta from her geographical position la a pivot or hub around which the league revolves. This city la the very center of the league and the league can't do without It. ENGLISHMAN GET8 DRAW. Memphis, Tenn, July 25.—Jack Lad bury, the English boxer, entered the ring a warm favorite over Battling Burke, of New Orleans, in the South ern Athletic club arena Monday night, but a draw woe the best he could get after eight rounds of hard fighting. Hock Bones, the Southern welter champion, earned a decision over Chris ty Williams, of New Tork, after eight rounds of hard fighting, featured by a near-knockout administered to the Southerner by Williams In the first round.

Oseatur, Ala., July 25.—Gilmore and Dooley have both been releaeed by the Decatur baseball club of the South eastern league. This leaves Cook as the only player of the ortglnul squad. It Is quite likely that Cook will remain to the end of the season. Since the be ginning of the season the Decatur club haa had three managers and a score or more of players.

The most notable of the games play ed In the National league Monday was rhe combat between the much-reared Cardinals of St. Louis and the Poolns of Philadelphia. The St. Louis players lywe Just returned from a moat sue censfui road trip and were greeted by a record-breakIng crowd. Ton show this crowji how much they appreciated their support they trounced the Phillies good and hard. The slaughter started In the first Inning. Two of this year’s most promising finds were pitted against each other. Grover Cleveland Alexander, of Philadelphia, and Bob Harmon, of St. Louis. The Bresnahan crew I in mediately solved Alexander’s assort ment of twisters and forced hJm to re tire In the Initial round. Bums, who succeeded him, fared little better. * On the dther side, Harmon had the East eners eating out of his fist. He al lowed his enemy only six scattered hits. The final count was: 8t.« Louis. 18; Philadelphia. 2. The Cardinals se cured thirteen hits. Rube Marquard, the $11,000 McOraw beauty, waa strictly on the -Job Tues day and handed the Cincinnati Reds a taste of 'defeat by the score of 8 to 3. New Tork got a big lead In the early stages of the game and was never In danger. The batting of Indian Meyer*, the big backstop of the Giants, waa the feature of the day. Hans Wagner. Fred Clarke. Rabe Adams, Wilson A Co., better known as the Pirates, took a fall out of the lowly Brooklyn Dodgers and scored a deci sive victory, 8 to 2. Pittsburg gar nered fifteen safeties, of which Wilson got three three-sackers and a single, out of four times up. The Dodgers got nine hits off the once world's cham pionship pitcher, Babe Adams. • No games were scheduled In the American league, and ns a result It was "Addle Joss day” In Cleveland. Some of the stars of the American league were pitted against the Cleveland reg ulars. This game was for the benefit of the widow and children of Addle Joss, the beloved pitcher of the Nap team. This all-star aggregation would be a mighty hard one for any club to beat. Among the stars of the day were Tris Speaker, of Boston; Milan, considered one of the elevereat outfielders of tho present time, of Washington; Eddie Collins, of the world’s champions; Ty Cobb, the Georgia Peach; Frank Baker, premier third sacker of the Athletes; wahoo Sam Crawford, one of tha mightiest sluggers of the day; {Ini Chase, the first sacker without a peer: Bobby Wallace, the plucky shortstop of the St. Louis Browns; Charley Street, catcher of the Senators; Livingston, of ths Connie Mack tribe; Wood, of Bos ton; Russell Ford, of the Yankees, and Walter Johnson, of Washington. These men were victors In this memorial bat tle against such renowned^stars as Cy Young. Napoleon Lajole. •Harry Sto vall. Neal Ball, Terry Turner and Joe Jackson. STANDING OF THE CLUBS.

HYDER BARR CAN'T MAKE OUT WHO THIS JOKE IS ON ANYHOW Hyder Barr, former Atlanta ball player and Juet recently appointed team cgptaln and virtually acting manager of the New Orleans club, does not know whether or not his new Job Ik u Joke or a serious proportion. Neither does Charley Frank, apparently. In telling of Barr’s appointment Monday Frank said, amidst much chuckling and snorting: •Th’other day I went to Hyder and 1 hA|(1. ’Boy. you re the boss of the team from now on/ •*He looked back at me a* tho he’d been shot and said, ’Who. me?* •* *Yes, you,’ I told him. •* ‘gay,’ said Hyder. 'they’re alt >lder than me and If I tell ’em to make a play one way they’ll give me the laugh/ ^ “•That’s all right,’ I told him, -you’re boss. If you can't make 'em play, let 'em play/ " Then Charley stopped for u chuckle. •Hometimes.” he added with a faraway look In his eye. “the team pulls ofT !»ome awful play and ! ask Hyder about It. •"Aw/ says Hyder. 'I told 'em to moke it this way and you saw what they did. I'm a great manager.' “And he Is, too,” added Frank, and another giant chuckle, that ended In a loud guffaw, shook his generous rotundity. Of ?ourM*, like almost everything else about baseball. It Isn’t half the Joke that Frank would make out. Barr knows the game, has played under a man like Connie Mack and is a young, clever, clean-cut player and a man the players admire. WHERE T^EY PLAY TODAY. Southern League.
