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 some Another notable feminine player it the tournament I* Mrs Seymou . of Nashville. Though of sufficient age to be < grandmother, she is no table both at golf ami tennis, and an hold her own with any players of th'- se tion. Mrs Sox moqr - •aid to hnvt ■ 'or, much in bringing out May Sutton l<x long odds Americas greatest player: which in Itself is a creditable feat. • • • \I7ITH ’he Southern tennis tour nament season closing, as it does with the Atlanta event, it may be of interest to present the win ners of the important Southern tournaments of the year. They are South Atlantic, at Augusta. Nat Thornton, of Atlanta, cham pion. E. V. Carter. Jr., Atlanta, runner up. J. K. Orr, Jr., and Carl Ram speck. of Atlanta, doubles cham pions.

He has developed his strength and his determination to a point now that it is possible for him to last the full nine innings. Those in doubt on this point should apply to the Pirates. • « • Is an insensible base runner out when touched off the base'.’ The Central league wants to know A Terre Haute player was knocked insensible by a thrown ball while running to second base. He was touched as he lay on the base line and the umpire called him out. Terre Haute has protested and lias carried the protest to the league president. • • • Huh Perdue was said to have received less money with Boston than some of the pitchers on the staff who haven't put in a full game yet this year. No wonder he was irritated. • • • When Frank L. Boone, the college pitcher from West Virginia reported to Hank o’Day he told Henry that small pitchers were best against batters. He explained further by saying that the en emy can’t tell where the ball’comes from. \t that Frank’s judgment may be warped for he is some small himself. • » • George Rohe is leading the Pelican bat ters What DO you know about that! 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. CHAMPION COULON HAS A CINCH WITH WAGNER N E‘AX lORK. July 3—The bantam weigh ■ champion, Johnny Coulon. of Chicago, completely outclassed Joe Wagner, a local bantam, in a ten-round bout. here. Wit the possible exception of the second relief. Wagner was badly beaten. Conlon's blows were mainly left hooks to the face and right uppercuts. Wagner held on and what blows he attempted were generally wild. $n the second round one of his right hooks, however, cut Con lon's eye. CYCLISTS PLAN LONG RELAY. NEW YORK.
