UP East, Atlanta has the name of being the most loyal baseball village on the map. Rut, getting right down to cold facts, it doesn’t, seem as though the fans of this fair city are breaking their neeks to give Charley Hemp hill any encouragement this year. True. Atlanta fandom has been forced to put up with some very putrid baseball of late years, and they can hardly be expected to sup port a loser as well as a winner. But. nevertheless, at some of the recent games at Poncy park the fans have rooted hard for the vis itors and at times even jeered the local lads. President '’allaway 1* doing all he can to get a first division club, and so is Manager Hemphill. They are leaving no stone unturned to give Atlanta, a winner And surely • here are no two persons who are more anxious to see the home ath letes right up near the top. It means money to the one and repu tation upheld to the other. Hemphill came to Atlanta and took hold of a cellar combination He started the season with the blackest outlook possible. Ho real ized that he would have to build up an entirely new team to get any results And in doing this he has been forced to flutter around the bottom. But slowly and surely he is '.voiding a combination that will give a good account of itself yet. Coleman's Actions Hurt, He lias been unfortunate In se curing men he wanted.

I won’t say he quit, but anybody in his position would be unable to play their best nrand. Brady and Russell, two pitchers that are almost sure to make good here, arrived with sore arms. Anri, according to Hemphill, it will be fully a week before either will be able to strike their gait. The • breaks"' have not been with the team and no team can win un less Dame Fortune is with them. <>ne year ago last spring the New York Highlanders were figured as a sure one-two team by big league experts. Rut they never secured the "breaks" and finished hopeless ly in the second division The fact that Hemphill has been purchasing men right and left proves that he is doing all In his power to get a winner. And he is lust the man who will accomplish what he Is after, too. Hard Job For Hemphill. So. come on, you Atlanta fans, stick by the team, encourage them at every opportunity, and you will soon be rewarded. Don’t expect Hempltill to get a pennant winner the first year. It takes time to bring h club from last place to the head of the ladder. Twenty years of good, solid base ball experience must have made Hemphill a better judge of ball players than some of the would be baseball experts who were with the team when they were on top. but who are now panning the ever lasting daylights out of Hemphill and the local baseball association.

Neither Doyles Nor Pell Coming Here for Big Tennis Event SOUTHERNER SHOULD WIN 1012 TENNIS TITLE By Percy H. Whiting. THE coming Southern tennis championship at Atlanta gives promise of being a real "Southern event.” Not a sin gle Northern player has announced his entry. Not a single one has planned to come to Atlanta for the big Southern event. The Doyle brothers, who have come down from Washington two seasons In a row and who have both times taken back |he two main cups, will positively not com pete this season. This is a big surprise. It was presumed that, because they had two legs on each trophy, they would take the trou ble to come down and make it three. With this very point in view, the local club was making every effort to round up a couple of sharks who would be good enough to keep the silverware at home, or at least to string out the trouble of winning It. And now’ H. E. Doyle says he will not come down this year. He is going to Maine with his family for his vacation and will pass up Atlanta. When this news is published there will be easier breathing In Atlanta, for It looked as though the doubles and singles cups would surely go to Washington for keeps, which meant that somebody had to "dig” to replace them. Theodore Roosevelt Pell was an other who had planned to play a return engagement in Atlanta. But at the last minute he. was chosen on the supplementary list of the Olympic team, which meant that he could go If he would pay hls own expenses. And as money Is no especial object to Fell, he Is go- ing. And Atlanta loses the Indoor King. However, the tennis committee of the Atlanta Athletic club will use every reasonable effort to get a few strong players. B. M. Grant and Carleton Smith are going to Pittsburg for the clay court cham pionship which begins June 22. While they are there they will at tempt to round up a couple of stars. • • • rpHERE will be no dearth of en- for the championship. The fact that co Northern or Eastern stars will appear in the tourna ment will make it peculiarly at tractive to Southern players, who haven't entered very freely of late, owing to the fact that there were always a few players with whom they had no chance. This year the tournament should be as open as a keg of beer, and there Is bound to be a big entry from New Orleans, Knoxville, Nashville, Memphis and Birmingham. Also, of course, Atlanta players will enter more freely than usual.

London, England, June u. —What promises to be the worst scandal of the British turf in ten years became known when the sporting weekly, The Looking Glass, announced that Sweeper 11. the American colt which started favorite in the re cent derby, was doped before the race. A significant fact in connection with the dope story was that H. B. Duryea dismissed Danny Maher, who rode Sweeper 11, and en gaged Frankie O’Neill, another American boy. to pilot Sweeper II in the remainder of his stake en gagements. An investigation shows that, in the opinion of a large number of racing men Sweeper II was doped. Duryea’s trainer is unable to ac count for the miserable showing of the colt. It Is suspected that two or three bookmakers who stood to lose fortunes on a Sweeper II vic tory know more about the "doping” than they would care to say. It was certain that when Sweeper II left hls stable for the big race he was never fitter. When he re turned to his stall after the derby the colt was listless and feeble. He was kept irt the stable until Saturday, when he was taken out for an exercise canter. He moved very stiffly, and appeared to show the effects of some strong stimu lant. In the derby he ran like a doped horse, to the astonishment of his trainer, who considered Sweeper II a certainty. Sweeper Il’s greatest asset is his speed, but he ran with out putting an ounce of energy in hls work. Danny Maher said aft er the race that he could not un derstand the performance, for in the Newmarket Sweeper II was . pulling him out of the saddle, and then, released for the final dash, shot out like an arrow to beat eas ily horses that defeated him in the derby. In the derby, Maher said that Sweeper II moved as if the exer tion of racing were hurting him. Maher said, "He never could go with his field.” At no point in the • race did the American colt hold a winning chance.
