Cracker Club Reaches
Birmingham; to Play
4 Games With Barons
Birmingham. May 13— The
Atlanta team, looking none
the worse for their protract
ed engagement in New Orleans yes
terday afterndon, arrived in Birr
mingham today and will take on
Carleton Molesworth’s club this
afternoon in the first battle of a
four-game series.
Manager Hemphill is determined
that if possible he will get an even
break out of this series and thinks
he can do it.
Before pulling stakes in New Or
leans for the hike to Birmingham, the
Crackers tarried long enough at Pel
ican park to play four hours and 30
minutes of baseball, to an even
break.
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 any one af
ternoon —and that goes so? a Sunday,
afternoon in New Orleans. Then came
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 and got great
support So it was a cinch. The
score iwas 9.t0 3 it? Ute Crackers' fa
vor. In the second game conditions
were reversed." as' usual’ -Wagner -
pitched great ball against the ennuied
Atlantans, while Piggy Paige was soft
for the bored Pelicans. The outcome
was a 5 to 0 decision for the Peli
cans.
N. Y. BOXING COMMISSION
HOPS ON NATIONAL CLUB
NEW YORK, May 13.—True to pre
diction, the action of Referee Patsey
Haley in giving Jim Stewart a deci
sion over Gunboat Smith in their bout
at the National Sporting club Thurs
day night has led to trouble. The offi
cials of the National Sporting club
have been summoned to appear before
the state boxing commissioners on
Wednesday to explain Haley s action.
Attorney General Carmody has in
terested himself in the case, and it
ms at his suggestion that the boxing
commissioners decided to investigate.

I Sunday Game May Change Southern League Map
v«v +•+ +•+ +•+
Vols Ready to Quit, Memphis Association Scared
By Percy H. Whiting.
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? be it known, this is not the
first time that the laws of that
state have been violatet,!. In fact,
it is not tfie 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 there
did not tend to convince us the
folks in that 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.
Rut dear old Nashville, now as
wide open as Repo or Eas Vegas,
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
heinous offense.
It’s charmingly consistent and
the more you know of how Nash
ville is being run the more reason
able it seems. However, we haven't
set 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 Schwartz
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
ball than in Nashville, but at least
they will not try to pull any more
"rough stuff" and may be allowed
to exist, at least.
And Memphis—w’hat of the Tur
tles?
If some misguided reformers
there take action similar to tha'
of the sainted anti-baseball fa
natics 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 hate 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
sort of law’ violation, have deter
mined to make a point of Sunday
baseball!

mHE winning of the S. I. A. A.
* 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, for he did
not seem to have any material at
all above the average and yet he
won the pennant with 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 players of the Vander-

w ould have the nerve to, face him,
man to man. in a fair fist fight. But
from the protection of the stand
his courage was strong enough to
risk the shying of a bottle dr a
glass.
Such conduct is sickening to true
sportsmen. The.' don’t in the least
mind a fight, if it is a fair one. But
they can’t quite figure out the rea
sonableness of a 5.000 to 1 engage
ment. They instinctively side with

As civilization advances and a

out. we’ll stop shying pop bottles
at umpires. It is evident that thii#

However,- Prank will have to go some,
as Miller is a corking good mixer. He

Philadelphia, who fought a draw with
Packey McFarland. He also has wdns
over Jack Eondon, Young Nltchie, Joe
