This Is the Best Day of the Year at Old Poncey

Game Yesterday Smashed Up in Eleventh Inning
By Percy H. Whiting.
T' HE Fourth of Jult is so much
a day of baseball now that a
man wonders often how on
earth folks amused themselves back
In the dark days before the game
was invented. It 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 Atlanta 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. But in the afternoon if
the weather is even fairly decent,
there will be an old time, pack
em-in mob
A lot of the folks who will be
there will not know a sacrifice hit
from a shin guard except b\ the
Bound, and a few thousand will not
care whether the home team wins,
loses 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 all have a
big time.
UP to the eleventh inning of yes
terday's ball game it was a
most riproariou* affair But In 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
Up to that time Brady had pitch
ed a most marvelous game. He al
lowed only 5 hits in 10 Innings
Campbell pitched against Brady,
and it's hard to tel! which to ad
mire most about the man, hb skill
or his luck He pitched a whaling
good contest, aliening « lifts in 11
innings But his support was a
•hade better than marvelous
O’T>r” shut hl* eves and grabbed
one ball that was ticketed for a

lucky rtop And every time the
Crackers got behind the ball it had
the steam the elevation and ev
erything of a safe hit except the
direction. Campbel! had the Crack
ere “hitting 'em where they were. "
instead of where they weren’t,
which is fata! to hatting aver
ages.
Campbell was good, though The
Crackers had him In distress In the
seventh, ninth, tenth and eleventh
innings And ail they could get out
of ft was one stuffy run equal to
tie it and keen it tied until the
eleventh, but not enough to win
But then the Crackers never do
win them anyhow’. tvhen they go to
extra innings
Nobody would kick on the game,
though It was fast clean, well
played and exciting. The Hulls were

Yesterday the Volunteers 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

able to put on a little extra steam
when the break came, that's all.
The game broke for the Crackers
five times In the last six innings,
but they’ couldn't take advantage
of It. And when a team can't hop
in and clean up when the break
comes it isn't destined to climb
not that day. anyhow.

IF the Atlanta club doesn't do any
thing else this year, it has, at
least contributed one full ball club to
the Southern league- Eleven ex-

SMITH AND THORNTON
CLOSING IN ON TITLE
WITH the weather fair, or at
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 this morning. This
was the most important match yet
played in 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. Charest 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.
In 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 McßjJllan by de
fault Pairings for the other
matches in this division are Miss
Murphy and Hochendale vs. Miss
Margaret Traylor and Reilly; Miss
Jones and Ramspeck vs Miss Tu
dor Perry and Matthews. Mrs. Sey
mour and Thornton vs. Miss
Smith and Bartlett; Miss Connal
ly and Thomwell vs. Mrs Traylor
and Brooks: Mrs. Milam and Scott
vs. winper of Murphy and Hoch
endale-Traylor and Reilly 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 Scott-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 talept 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 W’ork ths
matches w’ere completed, with one
exception, dowm 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.
