Manager U< ni!>hill Is determined that if possible he will get an even bleak out of this series and thinks he can do it. Before pulling stakes in New Or leans for the hike t<» Birmingham, the Ci-ackers tarried long enough at Pel ican park tn play four hours and 30 minutes of baseball, to an even f>rea k 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 ternoon and that goes for a Sunda> afternoon in New Orleans Then cam*' a ten-minute intermission And then another two hour and fifteen minute game Oh. it was grand sport’ The result was the inevitable even break Tommy Atkins was going strong in the first game ams got gnat support.

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- MONEY TO LOAN ON □iAMONDS ANO JEWELRY Strictly confidential.

In a game at the American league ball park "Sat urday, in which the home club was being trimmed by Detroit, the fans took offense at O’Loughlin’s umpir ing and pasted him with glasses and pop bottles. That's fine sportsmanship for you. it takes a high order of bravery for 5.000 men to attack one man. It’s a ten to one bet there wasn’t a man of the multitude that threw pop bottles at.

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. 8
