Time was when we used to work nights and Sundays trying
to correct the mistakes of other people and used gleefully to
print the bulls of our competitors.. Later we found this a dan
gerous pastime, for the other guys got to calling attention to
ours, and we couldn’t get a peaceful night’s sleep for trying
not to make .them.
But when somebody else starts it—ah, then it’s different.
F’rinstance:
A,“contemp” awhile back found an alleged ball-up in the
Georgian sport page, to which it alluded gleeefully. From said
“contemp” we pluck on Sunday this amazing tennis news:
S. M. ALLEN NEW TENNIS CHAMPION. * '
S. M. Allen, of Knoxville. Tenn., Is the present Southern tennis champion,
winning over all comers In the recent tournament held at Greenville, s. C.
Fl.nburns, the champion for the past three rears, by virtue of winning the
championship three* years hi succeslon, did not play In the tournament, but acted
ai muter of ceremonies
T. J- Driscoll and J. L. Bishop, of Atlanta, were the only Atlantans entered In
the tournament. Both did very well, flnlshlns second and fourth, respectively.
Jordan, the champion of the world, gave exhibitions and played several
.patches during the tournament. He played 1(0 g *
and drawing
1 games In all, winning 110 of them
What Connie Doyle, Southern tennis champ for two years,
will have 40 say to this we don’t know; nor can we under
stand how this World's Champion Jordan conld “draw” 20
tennis games. If he drew even one he would establish a world’s
record, all right.
WAIVERS ON
D.A. HOWARD
Atlanta Association Seems To
Be Planning to Get Rid of Its
New College Player.
Little Rock, Ark, July 31.—Waivers
have been asked by Atlanta on D. Aus
tin Howard and by Memphis on Pitcher
Ktnlayson.
We admire the attempt of The Lo% Angeles Times to get up
s match for the championship of Class A (which, includes the
and Pacific Coast leagues.) We are a bit afraid, tho, that the
time isn’t thoroughly ripened for it yet.
It would cost a mint of money to bring the teams together.
Then the fact that there are five leagues would make it hard to
work the thing out. , s
A series of this sort, rightly promoted, would be a great
success and would interest the entire baseball world. But it
would be one thundering job to promote it.
Kavanaugh Will Investigate
Charges Against Ducky Holmes
Memphis, Tenn, July 31.—Just before
leaving for New Orleans at midnight
President Kavanaugh, of the Southern
league, stated that- he was preparing a
visit to Moblto to eettle the recent mud
dle caused by the action of the Mobile
club In lining former Manager Holmes
*500 for alleged Irregular transactions
while In discharge of bis duty. Holmes
l« specifically charged with “double
dealing" In connection with the sale of
Pitcher Allen to Brooklyn.
President Kavanaugh will remain In
New Orleans Monday and Tuesday,
moving to Mobile Wednesday.
The charge (hat Holmes will bo asked
to face Is almost the most adrlous on
the baseball calendar and la punlshablu
by Indefinite sentence of exile from or
ganised baseball ranks, or by complete
blacklisting, which Is the "capital pun
ishment" of baseball. Holmes will have
the right to appeal from any action
taken by the Southern league board of
directors to tbe national board, or to the
national commission.
Frank. Kavanaugh, son of President
Kavanaugh, Is accompanying his father
on ’ his first trip as “secretary to the
presIdenL” The younger Kavanaugh Is
an expert baseball player himself.
In regard to the recent report that
Llttlo Rock might succeed Mobile In
the 1911 circuit. President Kavanaugh
said that he hod heard nothing recently
about the deal, but that he was under
the Impression that the necessary
money for the purchase of a franchise
could be raised In Little Rock In one
night
“Little Rock was bluffing." said Judge
Kavanaugh. "when they offered to sell
their franchise during the annual
Southern association meeting In Mem
phis In 1909. Chattanooga, however,
was very prompt to call the bluff and
immediately posted earnest money
Which clinched the deal. This was fol
I dived by tbs formal transfer.”

! HOT-DOINGS IN
! SUNDAY'S GAMES
By LEN GRAVES.
Dooln'i Philadelphians mado It two
n a row Sunday from the Peerless
Cubs, taking a close and exciting ex
hibition from the Windy CRy lads, t
to 1. It seems that slnea the Phillies'
leader waa Injured his men are trying
I harder than ever to win their games.
A catch by Paskert, an old Atlanta
player, of Tinker’s long drive, was one
of the notable playe.
Again the New York Giants gave the
St. Louis Cardinals a whitewash, thus
making It two straight and two out of
three In the series on the St. Louie
field. Wlltse' was invincible after the
first Inning, and did not allow a Card
to get to first base after the first round.
The score finally ended 9 to 0 with the
Giants carrying the big 6.
The lowly Dodgers took a spill out
of the Cincinnati Reds for a double
victory. Tho scores were 6 to 4 and 4
to f. Wheat'* timely batting waa the
feature of the day.
No games were scheduled In the
American Sunday and the teams reeted.
Whs will lead the American league at
sunset Monday?
This Is a question that Is agitating
the minds of fans all over the country.
The Detroit Tigers meet the Athlet
ics for tho final game of the series on
the Philadelphia lot The MAckmen
have scored threo successive victories
and If they capture this last contest
they will oust the Tigers from first po
sition by a margin of one-halt game.

GERMANS AND ENGLISH CLASH,
BUT PEACEFULLY IN REGATTA
dowes, England, July 31.—War talk
was sacrificed to sport today, with
British and German yachts competing
against each other In the annual Cowes
regatta under the friendliest conditions
possible.
With King George In Cowes and ideal
weather conditions prevailing, Cowea
week opened under the most auspicious
conditions. Emperor William's yacht.
Meteor, was entered In the first race
and was a favorite over the English
contenders.
King Alfonso of Spain has entered
three hosts In the races.
The feature of the week 1* the time-
honored race tomorrow for the king's
cup, held under the auspices of the
Royal London Tacht club.
Thousands of visitors are In town,
among them a number of American
tourists.
In the new Overland line, Just recently announced, are four distinct
chassis and nine body styles, all of which are equipped with fore doors.
They Include two-passenger roadsters, five-passenger touring cars, three and
f'liir-pasnengeT coupes, and a four-passenger touring cor. The prices range
from |900 to 92,000, and the horsepower ratings are 25. SO, 35 and 45.
Probably the most popular chassis of the 1912 models will be the new
'""del 59, Which Is equipped with a flve-paaenger lore-door touring body at
1900. a two-passenger torpedo roadster for 9*00, and a three-passenger
coupe listed at *1,250.
Of 24 cars which started In the recent one-day reliability run under
the auspices of the St. Louis Auto club, not one finished with 'as high a
"core as did the Mitchell, model T. 1911 car, which won In the touring car
class over a number of autos of greater horsepower and higher price.
Most of the run of 1*8 miles Was made In a steady downpour that fol
lowed a long week of wet weather, and In consequence there were no per
fect time scores. The Mitchell, however, finished with 994 -points, which
was six points better than the -next car In the touring class and ona point
better than the winner In the roadater claaa
"It was a wonder any cars finished," was the comment of one of the
local papers tbe day after the event. “The rain was really the worst the
Auto club has ever had to contend with and the club Is used to rainy
funs. The rain came down In sheets Just after the contestants left the
"■wn control. It filled all the holes In the road with water and mada places
already had worse than ever. Down the Byrnesvllle rood, the Eureka road
and the Bald Hill road there was nothing but mud—mud hub deep. Borne
"f the cars dropped out here, and all of them were penalised a few points
nr more."
In the face of these conditions the performance of the Mitchell, which
nas driven by C. M. Barnard, attracted unusual notice.
Allho the Silent Knight type engine Is noiseless and vibrationless, these
dualities are really the least noticeable features of the engtne according
>" Janies G. Sterling, chief engineer of the F. B, Stearns Company.
The Stearns people were the first American manufacturers to secure
» bense to market cars with the Knight type engine, and as they have ex-
bcrlmented with tills engine for the past tyo years, the opinion of their en-
ftinterlng chief carries considerable weight. . . ,, .
“We have found that the extreme power for the slxe of the cylinders I*
by far the greatest feature of the Stearns-Knlght engtne." said Sterling. In
"leaking of his latest product. "For Instance, our cylinders are 4 1-4x5 1-2
Inches—28.9 horsepower, according to the rating given by the Society of
Automobile Engineers. Yet we willingly guarant.-e 4* horsepower, while
■very Stearns-Knlght motor w* have ever built has given in excess of 50-
I orsepower. With the moderate else cylinders, this means great economy.

"How do tho Tigers
Go after the fiag?"
Thu Sporting Ed. ask'd me
Thus once on a time;
And moreover he tasked me
To tell him In rhyme.
"Why. certainly, Jaka,
You fumlih the type.
I'll give you a 'take'—
This stuff Is a pipe. ■—
As long as from Southey I’m willing
to swipe.
From the season’s beginning.
The very first Inning,
Do they play
Every day
In a way that Is winning?
“That Michigan team,
With a full head of steam,
It travels like this,” answered
Hugh the Supreme:
"Plotting and sweating
And pitchers garottlng;
Undaunted, tho vaunted, we're fright
ened at nothing
Singling and blngllng-
To set the tans tingling.
Banging and whanging.
, Excelling and yelling and plaudits
compelling.
Fighting, affrighting. Igniting and smit
ing,
Rah-ruhlng, ee-yshlng,
Fielding, unyielding and willows a-
wl elding.
Beating, defeating and never-retreat-
• ing.
Rushing and flushing and crushing and
brushing, •,
And thumping and bumping and lump
ing and Jumping
And pounding and catching and other
teams scratching.
And taking the cinches and hitting In
pinches,
And any old scheme
That gives'class to a team.
Thus," answered Hughey, the well-
known lieutenant,
"Thus do the Tigers go after the pen
nant.”

KNOCKS SHIELDS' STATEMENTS>
BUT FAVORS GAME PROTECTION
Sporting Editor The Georgln:
I. am thoroughly acquainted with the
ravages of the cotton boll weevil and
have watched Ite destruction of mil
lions of dollars of cotton In the great
state of Texas and have followed the
work of scientific men sent but by the
agricultural 1 department of Washing
ton. They admit that birds do to a
certain extent eat boll weevils, but they
have never said that quail and dove are
of any service In keeping down the
pest. G. O. Shields, of New York. In
his article has.exaggerated. He states:
"The cotton growers of the state of
Texas nre suffering a loss each year
from the ravages of the boll weevil
of from *40,000 to *60,000.” He also
uses these words: "That thn Insect
bores Into ths root of the cotton stalk
and kills It.” There le not a man In
the state of Texas who hat known of a
boll weevil penetrating the root or stalk
of cotton. The damage of the ball
weevil Is to the 4:011.
Another exaggeration Is the Idea of
finding In the craw of a single quail
101 cott&n boll weevils. But we have
laws In Texas that protect our game
birds, and such laws are needed In
every state. The hunting season for
quatl, dove and prairie chicken opens
November 15 and closes January 15. A
single hunter can kill only 36 quail.

may take Ms negro porter with hlin
and kill 60. You are not allowed to
sell, exchange or ship out of the state

DOWNED MOBILE
Mobile, Ala., July 31.~-Hls Piglet*.
George Paige,,had another corking good
day here Sunday. It ever a pitcher
wee entitled to the divine right of
wielding the whitewash, Paige was the
■aid ,t wirier. The only run that was
■cored against him came on an umpire’s
error, a base on ball* a two-bagger, a
double play and an outfield error. Now,
when the opposition tAkes to scoring on
that sort of stuff njost any pitcher Is
going to be scored on. \
Except in that Inning the Gulls were
as helpless a* * blind pup under an au
tomobile and were lucky to escape with
any hits at all.
Ryan didn't pitch such bad ball him
self, but the ('nickers made the best

TWIK.
FOUR MEN PUT OUT ON ONE PLAY, BUT ONLY THREE NEEDED.
Rockville, L. I„ July 31.—Without doubt ths most marvelous unassisted
triple play In all baseball history was pulled by Jeese Ryerson, catcher and
captain of the Rockville Center team of the South Hide league of Lon*
Inland. In the lost game with Oceanalde on the local grounds. Indeed, but
for tbe fact that It Is possible to retire but three men of a aide In one Inning
the marvelous feat would have proved a quadruple play, aa four runners
were retired, figuratively speaking.
Oceanalde had three men on the bases with none out in the first Inning.
With "two and three” on him, the batter missed a third strike. Ryerson, the
Rockville catcher, purposely dropped this third strike. Now, or course,
under prevailing conditions, th* batsman waa out the minute he missed the
ball, and ha had no business running to first base. None of the runners
was forced to advance. But tha athletes of the Bouth Bide league are some,
what hasy on the rules. The retired batsman rushed on to first base. The
runner at third look for granted that he was expected to score, so he
rushed for ths plate. Ryerson met Mm halfway and tagged him out. The
man at second In the meantime woe being crowded off the midway by tbe
logical holder of first base. He lit out for third and Ryerson raced over to
the near corner and also tagged him. This completed the unaaslsted triple
play, as Ryerson wo* given the put-out on the batter, dfidt* the fact that
the third strike was dropped. ■
Now, none of the player# of elthe r team had tumbled to the fact Hint
the umpire had declared out the batsman. When Ryeraon had effected the
triple killing he looked up and saw the player entitled to first base, and who
had bean crowded off by tho batsman, midway between Drat and second.
The runner attempted to sneak back to first, but Ryeraon threw the ball to
that baseman and the player was finally run down by lbs first baseman,
srvond baseman and Ryerson. the last named securing tbe aupposed put-out.
