Rain Is Playing the Wild With the Tennis Championship
ATLANTA PLAYERS SHOULD WIN ALL THE TITLES
By Percy 11. Whiting.
XT THEN Atlanta gets the
V V Southern lawn tennis
championship back again,
which will not he until 1914, at
least, it ought to hold it in June.
Or almost any time except the first
week in July. For if Atlanta really
has a rainy season it certainly
comes this very first week in July.
And rain and lawn tennis tourna
ments don't mix worth a cent.
It rained Monday afternoon and
crabbed all the matches save one.
It rained Tuesday afternoon and
put most of the play on the blink.
Now. so the players say, it is set
to rain every day all the week, be
ginning at 3 o dock, which will be
messy beyond words.
if this sort of weather keeps up,
it will be necessary to pul in every
minute of sunshine In order to get
the affair finished by Saturday.
Fortunately, the entry list is not
■over large, ami if they give Referee
Frank Reynolds half a chanoe he
will finish on schedule time if he
sprains bis disposition in the at
tempt.

tT looks like a great year for lhe
’ Atlanta players. There seems
to be nobody in sight who can stop
Xat Thornton in the singles or
'Thornton and Carleton Smith in
the doubles. There are plenty who
are close enough in ability to make
these favorites go their limit, but
they ought to cop.
If Thornton and Smith wit) the
doubles and are sent to Chicago for
the national doubles elimination,
they will show the Northerners the
most brilliant tennis team that ever
came out of the South.
That Smith-Thornton combina
tion is a great one when ft gets go
ing. Both men are players who are
likely to pull anything without pre
vious notice. And if they once get
lhe winning notion, nothing could
stop them. Once fairly started on
a career of cuts and smashes, they
would just as soon trim the na
tional champions as anybody else.
They are no respecters of titles.

fAF course, there is no more at
tention being paid to the foot
fault rule this year than in the
. past. So long as you stand some
where near the back line to serve
It doesn't make any difference to
the officials.
At one time yesterday the follow
ing players were all making foot
faults- Middlebrooks. Canfield. V.
Smith. 1,. D Scott. Dr. Hayes and
Charles Rodgers We didn't make
any extended investigation or the
list would have been larger.
Two notable examples of players
who do not make foot faults are
Nat Thornton And Mrs. Taylor The
reason is not far to seek. Both have
played regularly iii big Northern
tournaments, where foot faults are
called and where it is considered
excellent form to remain behind
the hack line in serving.
W ill the time EVER xmne when
players in.the Southern champion
ships at Xtlanta will be required to
observe this rule'.' We live in rope,
hut it's faint hope.
CREAKING of Mrs Taylor she is
•" certainly playing in most ex cl
ient form this year She won the
Sadies' championship of the Old
Dominion in fine style and is sot
to win here with equal ease. In
her pi active work she is showing
better tennis than she evei played
in Atlanta before, and that is going

Becker to Make His Debut in
Cracker Togs This Afternoon
BUCK BECKER, the Crackers'
new hurler from Washing
ton, is carded to do the
twirling at Poncy park this after
noon. He will probably be opposed
by Campbell. Becker has been
working out for the past few days
and this morning informed Mana
ger Hemphill that he was ready to
decorate the mound with his pres
ence.
The genial Mitjue Finn and his
Sea Gulls drew an even break with
Hemphill’s players in yesterday's
double-header.
The first game was safely tucked
away for Atlanta when six hits
and some weird plays let five runs
across for the locals. The- final
score of the game was 8 to 5. Mo
bile appeared to have taken a no
tion to cross the plate in lhe sec
ond game and finally won out, 9
to I without failing to tally at
least one run In all of the five in
nings that could be played before
darkness set in.
Here and there bright spots
crept into the two games, but on a
whole they were slower than the
Baltimore convention and certainly
not as exciting, not. by one-six
teenth.
Rudderham and Hart, officiating
umpires, appeared to have the
same spirit that the players did,
and time and again let batters de
lay things by a long wait before
coming to the plate. When play
finally started after the batter was
up the going was just as slow, and
the first game, which started al
2:30 o’clock, dragged out until
nearly 5. making it impossible to
get through with more than five
innings of the second contest.
Sitton and Berger Wild.
Sitton and Berger weiJ both wild
in the start of their game, but Sit
ton managed to find himself before
the game went very far. Berger
kept using the spitball and confus
ing Catcher Dunn, who has not
been accustomed to receive him
until Dunn found it almost impos
sible to hold the ball after it
bumped into bis mitt. As a result,
and also because of their willing
ness to take a chance, seven
Crackers chalked up stolen bases
to their credit and Dunn’s dis
credit.
In the second game Manager
Hemphill decided to try out "Jack”
Coombs, and gave the ambitious
lad two innings of twirling for At-
lanta. Coombs was too shaky to
pitch, and after four Gulls had
scored on him, Tommy Atkins took
his place. Atkins was little bet
ter and the Mobile runs continued
to pile up. Atkins’ first act was to
walk his old team-mate, O’Dell,
and then Jacobsen followed with a
triple that chased Hemphill far
into his back territory.
Laudermilk Off Bad.
Laudermilk, tossing for the Mo
bile team, tightened up after one
inning and refused to allow any
more runs, and while the Gulls
were piling up a total of nine runs
in their five innings, Atlanta had
to be content with the single tally
received in the first inning.
Only by bumping the ball against
the ribs of Callahan. Bailey and
Harbison in the first inning, did
Laudermilk show any intention of
tossing away his chance of win
ning. but he soon recovered from a
desire to put the opposing players
out of the game by breaking their
slats, and let them take their
chances of hitting his offerings.
(Only three of them got near
enough to the plate after that in
ning to get a safe hit and the gen
tleman with the Dutch name was
credited with a win.
