9 ‘-T7** r “ • • ’■ ' » ■ 'f-'T ’ .•* • • THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN ANI? NEWS. By Percy H. Whiting. B ILL SMITH has gone out after the pennant. He never had less intention In his life of trail ing along in aerond or third place than he has right now. "The rag or nothing" is his motto. His scheme is to get pitchers. With the hurling staff built up the thing will be a picnic. The idea is that never before in the league’s history has the Cracker team been a** strong as now. barring the batteries. Chapman seems to have strengthened the 'catching depart ment. The pne weak spot is the slab. Smith realizes that this is th“ chance of hie career for grabbing hie third pennant for Atlanta H4s team is a rip-snorter. With efficient pitch ing it will win "away off As a financial venture the buying of some good pitchers will be big business. The team as it stands is only a moderately expensive one. Five thousand spent for pitchers to-day * w’ould be back through the box office window® in a few weeks. And you don’t have to tell Bill that. Just at present Bill has no pitchers in sight. But he is spending about seventeen bucks a day for telegrams, and if any club has any real pitchers they''want to sell for real money they can find a buyer—and find him mighty- quick. • • • ’"THURSDAY'S game, won by Mont- 1 gomery, 7 to 4, wasn’t lost by bad pitching. Of course Brady was reach ed for 13 hit®, but half of them were rank scratches. It was an unlucky, poorly played sort of a game. But the Crackers were everlastingly in earnest. They meant to wdn it and i never stopped trying. The thing that hurt about the de feat w r as to lose to Case. The old lad gave up 12 hits, but he kept them about as well scattered as 12 hits could be scattered, and by dint of al lowing no base® on balls and not get ting tangled up with any of the Bili- kens’ three errors he scored a win. But any time Charley Case gives the Crackers 12 hits and escapes alive it’s time to call the police. * * * "DILLY SMITH is about due to give the Crackers a shakeup on some of the rudimentary points of team play. They have gotten in the way of leaving bases uncovered and of bumping on fly balls that is abso lutely distressing. Smith's teams do not usually pull that variety of base ball. r [ F Johnny Dobbs' Montgomery team regularly plays the sort ot baseball it showed yesterday it isn't i! a bad ball club at all. It hit won derfully well off Old Reliable Brady, fielded pretty handily and played with a peck of pep. Old J. Dobbs is still a rattling good coacher and he has his men working at high speed —when they are winning. We hope to see how they lose soon. w r hich is another thing entirely. * * * * COME hitting phenomena were ob- ^ seryable Thursday. (iiief among them w r as the fact that King v Brady made four hits out of four times up. The King hasn’t ordinarily been known as a healthy slugger, but he was going like Ty Cobb Thursday and seemed to be dead in earnest. Maybe the old boy is salting away a place as an out fielder after his pitching days are done. Walker and Bailey made a couple of hits each, which helped out their averages, but the best hitting of the day, outside of that done by Brady, was Jansen’s four safeties out of five up. * * * TJ ECAUSE Federal Decoration Day isn’t such a howling holiday here and because a Saturday double head er looks like the works the Atlanta club has had its extra game trans ferred from Friday to Saturday. This afternoon’s game will start at the usual time, 3:45. To-morrow after noon there will be a double header. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of next week the Crackers hit the road, but they will be back again Thursday.

W. Naughton. S AN FRANCISCO, May 30.—Just how many world’s championship matches there will be in and around San Francisco on July Fourth is a matter of conjecture. Already a heavyweight affair for Daly City and a lightweight bout at some point nearer home are talked of. Some wag has suggested that if Kilbane could be induced to defend his title over at Richmond and Coulon could be prevailed upon to hazard his ban tam laurels at South San Francisco we would break all records in the matter of blue ribbon jousts and focus the eyes of the world on the city by the Golden Gate. Even with what is contemplated, however, it looks as though we may have too much of a good thing. San Francisco in Panama Exposition*year might be able to take ample care of a few world’s championships as simple side show’s on any given day, but just now we are hardly up to the task of providing the sinews of war for a brace of top-notch pugilistic encounters. However, this is a thing that will probably regulate itself later. For the present interest is confined to what the promoters are doing. Eddie Graney, who controls the July permit for San Francisco, is working a Willie Ritchie-Joe Rivers match for the Fourth. The latest is that Rivers’ manager, one Joe Levy, has agreed to let his boy box. for Graney and that Graney is going to Los Angeles to discuss terms and fix up the deal. Billy Nolan. w r ho is piloting Ritchie, has already as sured Graney of the champion’s serv ices. • * • I F Rivers gets the match with Ritchie he may consider himself a lucky fellow. It would have been very easy for Nolan to have named any one of several other lightweights who would have been just as accept able to the general public. Usually a championship event is supposed to be between the titleholder and the man who is considered his most for midable rival, but a little searching of the records will show that Rivers has not qualified for the chance to the exclusion of others. As a matter of fact, Tommy Mur phy is the one best entitled to a match with Ritchie, but Tommy does not seem to be clamoring for recognition. Then there is the new boy, Bud Anderson, who seems to be cpming along like a house afire. He is a bud by name and a bud by na ture apparently, whereas Rivers and a few others are certainly full-bloom. The public always* cottons to a youngster like Anderson, who shows a big improvement every time he per forms. There* is always speculation as to how much more he t an accom plish. Like Rivers’ case, if his match es with Wolgast. Mandot and Leach Cross afford any criterion, the full limit of ability has been reached and Joe is no more worthy of considera tion as a championship contender than Mandot, Leach Cross or Ad Wol gast. * * * T3CD ANDERSON, who is in town, ■*-' through Manager Donald ex pressed a desire to be matched with RRchie should there be anv hiten in the plans for bringing Rivers and Ritchie together. ft may be that Anderson will not get his wish, but if he keeps going ahead by leaps and bounds a« he has done since he be gan his ring career a comparatively short while ago. he will have to he reckoned with before very- long. Even as it is the question of lightweight su premacy can not be regarded as defi nitely settled until Anderson has been given an opportunity to bid for the title. Manager Donald and Anderson will appear at one theater in Portland while Ritchie is filling an engagement at another, and while the footlights excitement is at its height Anderson will challenge Ritchie. "To show that we mean business we will offer Ritchie a side bet of $5,000," said Donald. "It may be this will attract Nolan’s attention, as very few of the boys who want a crack at the championship are pre pared to back themselves in that amount.’’ This makes it look as though there will be some fight talk up North dur ing Anderson-Ritohie week. BR00KHAVEN GOLF COURSE TO BE EIGHTEEN HOLES The Brookhaven golf course is to be 18 holes in the very near future. Plans have already been drawn for the enlargement of the present course.

The outcome of the bout was a complete surprise to the fans here, as they had looked for Jimmy to give the St. Paul boy a tough argument. Sev eral rights and lefts to the body, fol lowed by some stiff punches to the jaw, finished the Pittsburg boy. Gibbons put up one of the greatest scraps seen here in some time.

The Pittsburger was outclassed all the way and was hanging on at the close in dread of the knockout. The victory was so complete that there was no difference of opinion, though it was a "no decision" affair. The bout was staged in Washing ton Park, the playing grounds of the American Association baseball club, and coming on the eve of the big 500-' mile auto race, drew hundreds of strangers, among them many women for whom the boxes were reserved.
