30 rounds to turn the trick He’ll
never be able to stand the pace I 11
set and I intend to get it right from
the jump.
By Jack Johnson: It's all over
but the collection of the money. No
small man ever could beat me and
though Flynn has taken on 20
pounds or so he’s still too small
Til nail him coming and Til nail

Veferans 9 Are Doing Grand Work in Southern Tennis Championship
ATLANTA PLAYERS SHOULD WIN ALL THE TITLES
By Percy H. Whiting.
THIS seems to be a grand year
for tennis come-backs. The
names of Thornton, Wil
liams, Scott, which haven't been
ringing very loud or clear in the
tournaments of the recent past,
are on every man’s lips now and
the winners of this year’s tourna-*
ments are likely to be drawn from
the ranks of the local veterans
This state of affairs became even
more apparent as a result of the
matches played at East Lake late
yesterday afternoon and this morn
ing. Play was started right after
breakfast and Referee Reynolds
kept the players going full tilt al!
the morning The best progress
was made in the women’s singles
The results of the matches played
this morning follow:
Men's Singles, First Round.
Carter defeated Cowan, 6-3, 7-5.
Men’s Singles, Second Round.
Williams defeated Spratllng, 6-1.
6-1.
Scott defeated Hochendale, 6-2.
6-3
Grant defeated V. Smith.. 6-1,
6-2.
Thornton defeated Rodgers. 6-4.
6-4
Men's Doubles, Preliminary Round
Capers and Roth defeated Adair
and partner by default.
Women's Singles, Preliminary
Mrs Taylor defeated Mrs. New
ell by default
Mrs. Milan defeated Miss Caro
line Muse, by default.
Miss Ellen Perry defeated Miss
Mary Traylor, 6-0, 6-0
Mrs. Seymour defeated Mrs.
Bowman, 6-1. 6-0.
Miss Jones defeated Miss Con
nally. 6-1. 6-2
Miss Hildreth Smith defeated
Miss Dunson. 6-2, 6-1
The ladles’ matches were run off
with businesslike precision and It
It rained Monday afternoon and
crabbed al! the matches save one.
It rained Tuesday afternoon and
put most of the play on the blink.
Now. so the players say, if i« set
to rain every day al! the week, be
ginning at 3 o’clock, which will be
messy beyond words.
If this sort of weather keeps up,
it will be necessary to put in every
minute of sunshine tn order to get
the affair finished by Saturday.
Fortunately, the entry list is not
over large, and if "they give Referee
Prank Reynolds half a chance he
will finish on schedule time if he
sprains his disposition tn the at
tempt.

IT lookt like a great year for the
Atlanta players There seems
to be nobody in sight who can stop

Thornton and Carleton Smith in

are close enough in ability to make
these favorites go tbeir limit, 'but
they ought to cop

doubles and are sent to Chicago for
the national doubles elimination,

most brilliant tennis team that ever

affair if such progress continues

come to Atlanta to defend her title.

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 thts morning Informed Mana
ger Hemphill that he was ready to
decorate the mound with his pres
ence.
The genial Mlque 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 the sec
ond game and finally won out, 9
to 1, without failing to tally at
least one run in each 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 at
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 were 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 his 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
NEry 5 ORK. Tub 3—The bantamweight
champion, Johnny Coulon, of Chicago
completely outclassed a local
bantam, in a ten-round bout here. With
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
he’d on and what blows he attempted
were generally wild. In the second round
on.e of his right hooks, however, cut Cou
lon's eye.
CYCLISTS PLAN LONG RELAY
NEW IORK. July 3.—Probably an
ocean-to-ocean motorcycle relay will
get the attention of all motorcyclists a
little later in the summer Motorcy
cles have made the trip from coast to
coast many times.. The plan would be
to have relays consisting of at least
three riders, so that in event of delay
to one a message could go forward
promptly with the other two. The re
lay stations would be from 50 to 100
miles apart, a distance that could be
covered at top speed. Motorcycle clubs
are being asked for their opinion.
