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.

THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN ASD XEWS: MONDAY. MAY 13. 1912. 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.
