that if possible he will get an even

he can do it.

The. idiocy of nine-inning games
in double-headers was never more
brilliantly exemplified than in those
two contests. The first one lasted
two hours and fifteen minutes, which
was too much baseball for an\ one af

a ten-minute intermission And then
another two hour and fifteen minute

The result was the inevitable even

THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS: MONDAY. MAY 13. 1912.
1 Sunday Game May Change Southern League Map
Vols Ready to Quit, Memphis Association Scared
By Percy 11. Wliitiim.
ONE Sunday game of baseball
may change the baseball map
of the South. When the
Nashville club played one Sunday,
a few weeks ago, it violated the
laws of the state of Tennessee.
Now, tie it known, this is not the
first time that the laws of that
state have been violated. In fact,
it is not the first time that laws
against doing things on Sunday
have been broken in the Volunteer
commonwealth. In fact, a resi
dence of a good many years I here
did not tend to convince us the
folks in tl. it'state were so ever
lastingly keen to enforce a lot of
laws that might well be enforced—
like the Sunday and midnight clos
ing of saloons, the suppression of
gambling and the laws aimed to
encourage honesty at elections.
Hut dear old Nashville, now as
wide open as Reno or Las Vegan,
can’t stand for anything so hor
ribly Illegal, immoral and altogeth
er detrimental of law, order and
decency as Sunday ball. So they
have not only stopped it, but have
declared the franchises of the base
ball association forfeited for one
Wei nous offense.
It's charmingly consistent and
the more you know of how Nash
ville is being run ihe mole reason
able it seems. However, we haven t
sei out to reform the running of
Nashville, but to mention that if
affairs in the Rock City can't be
rendered a little less rocky for the
baseball association, the Schwart is
les will probably be transferred to
Little Rock. If our memory serves,
they will not be any better off there
in the matter of playing Sunday
bull t >in m .',01; :ville, but at least
they will not try to pull any more
"rough stuff” and may be allowed
to i xist. at least.
And Memphis - what of the Tur
tles
If some misguided reformers
i hete .take ' action similar to that
, f th" sainted anti-baseball fa
i lilies in Nashville, they might
shut up the game in the Bluff City,
too. And what then?
Take them year in and year out,
Nashville and Memphis are among
the very best baseball towns in the
Southern league. We'd bate to swap
Nashville for Little Rock and Mem
phis for, say, Shreveport.
And all because a few fanatics in
Nashville, who wink at the rankest
-on of law violation, have deter
mined io make a point of Sunday
baseball!

■pill-! winning of the S. 1. A A.
1 baseball championship by Van
derbilt brings to mind the fact that
the club was coached, for the first
time in the recent history of the
institution, by a college professor.
That he is "some coach" is ap
parent from the results, tor lie did
mu seem to have any material' at
all abbv. the average and yet he
won the pennant w ith it.
This professor, according to the
boys who played under him. was a
•freak." He was constitutionally
opposed to trying by rooting, rag
ging or other method to rattle the.
opposing team His idea was that
unless a team could be beaten by
baseball it shouldn’t ne beaten. This
was rather a novel way.of figuring,
but it seems to have produced re
sults. The of the Vander-

Whitney Boxed With
Jack Johnson to Get
In Trim for Miller
Frank Whitney, who has been spar
ring with Jack Johnson in Chicago, will
be with us again tomorrow night. Whit
ney is scheduled to mingle with Char
ley Miller, of New York, at tjie Gate
City A. C. He is in the best of con
dition for this mill, as he has been
fighting ever since he left here. He
conditioned himself for Miller working
with Johnson.
However, Frank will have to go some,
as Miller is a corking good mixer. He
has decisions over many of the top
notchers, including Young Erne, of
Philadelphia, who fought a draw with
Packey McFarland. He also has wins
over Jack London, Young Nitchie, Joe
Seiger and Freddie Corbett.
A battle royal will open the card and
will be followed, by a six-round prelim
inary with Spider Britt and Mayer
Price as opponents.
In the semi-windup Billy Kerr, the
Atlanta favorite, has been matched to
■box six rounds with Frank Baker.
