This Is the Best Day of the Year at Old Poncey

Game Yesterday Smashed Up in Eleventh Inning
By Perry FI. Whiting.
THE Fourth of July is so much
a day of baseball now* tha* a
man wonders oft' n how on
earth folks amused them-elves bark
tn the dark days before the tame
was invented Tt is the non-fans
day at the park It is the big time
for the occasional bug. And. of
course, it marks the double ap
pearance at the ball park of all
the regulars.
In A'lanta today, as usual, two
games are scheduled - one In the
morning and one in the afternoon
Nothing better than a sparing
attendance is ever looked for in the
morning Bui in the afternoon if
the Weather is even fairly decent,
there will be an old time, pack
'•m-in mob.
A lot of the folk? who will be
there will not know a ‘aerilio- hit
from a shin guard, > wept bs the
sound; and a few thousand will not
care whether the home team wins,
lose- or ties will even be in doubt,
perhaps as to which is the home
team, for such is the way of holi
day crowds -but they’ll till have a
big time.

UP tn the eleventh inning of yes
terday’s ball game it was a
most r’proarious affair. But tn the
first of the eleventh, with the score
1 to 1 Brady weakened, his sup
port flickered and the Crackers
were beaten 5 to 1.
I’p to that time Brady Pad pitch
ed a most marvelous gam'. He al
lowed only 5 hits in 10 innings.
Campbell pitched against Brady,
and it’s hard to tell which to ad
mire most about the man. his ’kill
or his luck. He pitched a whaling
good contest, allow Ing 6 hits In 11
innings. Rut his support was a
shade better than marvelous.
OT>’’ shut his eyes and grabbed
one ball that was ticketed for a
long one. Campbell himself made a
lucky stop. And every time the
Crackers got behind th" ball it had
the steam the elevation and ev
erything of a safe hit except the
direction. Campbell had the Crack
ers "hitting ’em w here they were."
instead of where they weren’t,
which is fata! to batting aver
ages.
Campbell was good, though The
Crackers had him In distress in the
seventh, ninth, tenth and eleventh
Inning' And all they could get out
of it was one stufft run. equal to
tie ft and keep it tied until the
eleventh, but not enough to win
Rut then the Crackers never do
win them anyhow, when they go to
extra Inning'
Nobody would kirk on the game,
though It was fast clean, well
played and exciting. The Gulls were

STRIKE TONIGHT
IF NOT PAID OFF
News has leaked in from Nashville
that the baseball team there is In a
bad way. The player' salaries were
not paid ors on Julj 1 and the team is
ready to strike.
Yesterday the A’oluntgers served no

today.' and It was presumed by the
players that he would come through
with the money that was needed.
The Nashville team has been in a
bad way financially all the year. When

when the break came, that’s all.
The game broke for the ( ’rankers
five times in the lasi six innings,

SMITH AND THORNTON
CLOSING IN ON TITLE
1 " i ■> i , —■—
r-r tITH the weather fair, or at
W least not rainy. good
progress was made in the
tennis matches at East Lake this
morning in the Southern cham
pionship. One big match in dou
bles was decided, a number of sin
gles matches were played, the
mixed doubles were started and
the woman's singles consolation, a
new event at East Lake, was got
under way.
Smith and Thornton, of Atlanta,
defeated Rodgers and Cowan, of
Knoxville, in the semi-final round
of the men's doubles in the South
ern championship golf tournament
at East Lake th’is morning. This
was the most important match yet
plaved tn the tournament. The
score was 6-1, 6-1, 7-5. With the
Tennesseeans so easily disposed of
the Atlanta stars should move on
smoothly through to the champion
ship.
In the men’s singles, semi-final
round, t'harest defeated Hayes,
6-1, 6-1.
In the second round, men's sin
gles. Carter defeated Brooks. 6-2.
10-8.
In the second round, men’s con
solation, Doyle defeated Crenshaw,
6-3, 6-0.
Tn the women’s singles, semi
final round, Mrs. Taylor defeated
Mrs. Seymour, 6-2. 6-2. Miss Stur
geon defeated Miss Tudor Perry,
6-3. 6-1.
In the women s consolation sin
gles. preliminary round. Miss Mar
garet Traylor defeated Miss
O’Brien by default. Pairings for
this division are Miss Benson vs.
Miss Margaret Traylor. Miss Con
nally vs. Miss Mary Traylor, win
ner of the Traylor-O’Brien match,
and Mrs. Milam vs. winner of the
Benson-Traylor match.
In the mixed doubles, prelimi
nary round, Miss Mary Traylor
and C. S. Davis defeated Miss El
len Perry and V. McMillan by de
fault. Pairings for the other
matches in this division are Miss
Murphy and Hoohendale vs. Miss
Margaret Traylor and Reilly; Miss
Jones and Rams peck vs. Miss Tu
dor Perry and Matthews; Mrs. Sey
mour and Thornton vs.> Miss
Smith and Bartlett; Miss Connal
ly and Thornwell vs. Mrs. Traylor
and Brooks; Mrs. Milam and Scott
vs. winner of Murphy and Hoch
endale-Traylor and Bellly match.
Miss O’Brien and Smith play
Miss Sturgeon and Clark In the
first round, having drawn byes.
The doubles matches got a good
start and there were some extreme
ly stubborn contests. V. R Smith
and Hayes, of Atlanta, beat Rodg-
ers and Cowan, of Knoxville, the
first two sets they played, 6-4. 6-3.
Then the Knoxville players rallied
and took the next three sets, 6-3.
6-3, 6-2. The Seott-Orr vs. Brooks-
Bartlett match also required five
sets before the latter pair could
win, while two other matches re
quired four sets for a decision. It.
appears certain that Smith and
Thornton are going through to the
championship in this division, but
they are going to meet determined
opposition all the way.
The men's singles reached a point
last night when it was a cinch that
every match from that time for
ward would be a hard one. With
the talent pretty well concentrated
in the lower frame, today’s matches
should be particularly good.
in the woman’s singles the most
progress was made yesterday. By
steady. businesslike work the
matches were completed, with one
exception, down to the semi-final
round. Nothing has developed yet
to indicate that Mrs. Taylor can be
beaten in the tournament, and it is
highly probable that she can defeat
Miss Murphy, of New Orleans, in
the challenge round, which will be
played Friday or Saturday.
