Spectators at the first match may be assured of seeing an excellent ex hibition. The Atlanta team will be captained by Captain J. O. Seamans, of the Governor's Horse Guard, who played the game in the army. Al bert S. J. Tucker, of I^exlngton, Va., E. M.

The list of officials includes ex- Mayor R. F. Maddox, timer; Wilm^r L. Moore, scorer, and James R. Only and Clark Howell, goal judges. The always responsible position of refere.- will be filled by Colonel M. E. Car- thew-Yorstoun. retired British Army officer, who played the game for twenty years while In the Indian service. Motion pictures of the game are to be made, and there will be gymk hana sports as features of the after noop—a tug of war, wrestrllng on horseback, and so on. The regimental band will furnish music, and the Glee Club of Company M will be heard. BOXING News of the Ring Game Arthur Pelky is filling a 10 weeks' vaudeville engagement.

B. Keeler. I N the matter of a welcome for the homing Crackers, sentiment was divided to-day between meeting them with a posse or an ambulance. Nobody said anything about a band. Thirteen contests were played on the disastrous road trip, the Crack ers losing nine games, tw'o ball play ers, third place and substantially all hope of a pennant for 1913. The long run totted up six defeats in a row', most of them by one run. An even break with the pop-eyed Pelicans was the best thing the Crackers did on the jaunt. Memphis took two out of three, Montgomery captured the only two games played there, and the Gulls rounded off the diabolical business yesterday, making it nearly unani mous. • • • r - ‘"THERE doesn’t seem to be much 1 satisfaction in a post-mortem, and alibis are not in style any more. But it was plain, even from this distance, that Smith’s men weren't getting the breaks. Maybe they didn't deserve to. It has been our observa tion that the edge in luck generally Is with the club that Is on its toes, fighting all the way. Certainly the hitting slumped. And on the few occasions when the hit ters revived, the pitching collapsed. Which is a fine little combination for losing ball games. • * m VX/HITKY ALPERMAN'S nines." ’’ will be felt from now on. hut It came too late in the trip to be charged with much of the damage. Bill Bailey’s busted rib may carry a share of the blame, but not much. Anyway, the fans here will have a chance to look over some new ma terial. in the highly condensed flve- games-in-three-days series with the Volunteers. George Clarke and the giant Love, southpaw slabmen. will make their bow. Outfielder Holtz, too. Is a new one. And that brings us to Harry Hol land. Tech's great Inflelder. • • • THE idea is that the star college A player signed with the Crackers largely out of loyalty to the town. It is certain that in the last two years Holland has had many a chance to try his luck in the big show. Connie Mack, Ciark Griffith and others have angled vainly for him. His folks didn’t want him to play professional ball. So Harry stayed off—until patriot ism collaborated with the call of the game. And now the announcement ip that Tech’s greatest ball player will work around second base in the present se ries More power to him! ID EVERTING oree more to the trou- 1V bles of C. Frank, some sorrow ful Dutchman, it may be taken as faintly significant that the roll of severe injuries to the Pelicans In the season of 1913 now shows a total of thirteen. Here is the list: Pitcher Williams, wrenched knee. Shortstop Knaupp, spiked hand. Catcher Yantz. fractured leg. Inflelder Manush, wrenched knee. Infielder Williams, sprained ankle. Second Baseman McDowell, twisted knee. • Pitcher Weaver, lame arm. Inflelder Atz, thumb dislocated. Pitcher Walker, bruised hand. Outfielder James, broken shoulder. Catcher Angemeler. spiked hand. Inflelder Atz, pprained ankle. Catcher Adams, broken finger. These casualties include only such as have put players out of the game for periods affecting the team’s work seriously. Also It may be noted that Ange meler has just been released by Frank, who was forced to do something by a situation which caused him to use a pitcher in the field, while having eighteen players nominally on hand. Yantz’s leg Is about well once more, and he will soon be ready to relieve Adams, who is catching with a wrap ped digit. It *eems other people have some troubles, too. , Sporting Food I By i r QKORQB ft. PMAl ft— UMPIRE REFUSES TO EJECT FAN WHO INSULTED COBB NEW YORK, July 31.—The unsuccess ful attempt of Ty Cobb to have a spec tator removed from the stands at Phil adelphia on Tuesday during the Detroit- Athletics game is to be made the sub ject of an investigation by the Baseball Players' Fraternity. According to Cobb, the spectator ad dressed objectionable language to him. Cobb called upon the umpire to eject the objectionable person. This method was suggested by the National Commis sion, according to Fultz, of the Frater nity. Evidently It did not work satisfac torily in Philadelphia for Fultz, in dis cussing the affair, said: "The fact that the scpectator was al lowed to remain in the stand proves that the method adopted by organized baseball for handling this evil is gross ly inadequate. "The Placers’ Fraternity has repeat edly made suggestions, which, if adopt ed. would prove of much benefit, bui the National Commission has so far disre garded them.” Dent Will Hurl Against Vols ^.*4. *r • v +•+ MILLEN BEATS EAST POINT. MILLKN, GA., July 31.—In tlie second (tame of the Beries, Millen defeated Hast Point here to-day by a score of 4 to 0 Daniel, for the locals, twirled splendid ball, fanning »en men and giving up only five scattered hits. The feature of the game was the fielding of Doc Hay at short for Millen. THE CUBS. Peace! Peace! Peace! They smile and they say: “Ahem!" And they would that their tongues could utter The thoughts that arise in them. O, tccll for the John McQraws As they hammer the horsehide pill! O, well for the Connie Marks With hats that never are still! And the schedule ambles on And they feel like a bunch of bums. And yearn for a hand in the gate re ceipts When the big world series comes. Peace! Peace! Peace! It's a heluva peaceful crowd, And they think of the guy who owns the dub But they never will think aloud. The report from Los Angeles that Messrs. Ritchie and Wolcjast are betting at the rate of $25,000 per throw leads one to suspect that the silly season has struck Los Angeles in a virulent form. Still, one must admit that Messrs. Ritchie and Wolgast are hitting at least .360 In the Press Agent League. The report that C. Hercules Ebbets is out on a scouting trip leads one to suspect that C. Hercules is looking for another excuse to perpetrate a dedica tion ceremony. Dave Fultz arises to remark that he Is not afraid of losing his Job as head of the Baseball Fraternity. But why should any man be afraid of losing his Job as head of the Baseball Fraternity? Horace Fogel avers that he will bust up organized baseball, but he Is not do ing as much work In that direction as some of the magnates who live by the said organized baseball. When Jimmy Archer Is not traveling from the hospital to the ball yard, he is traveling from the ball yard to the hos pital. James would save money by char tering an ambulance by the year. ADMIRAL OF THE ICE BOX. It is a youthful admiral mariner. He saileth on a yacht. A guy doth swear: “Get busy there!” He answers: “I will not!” Though he is not o commodore, A captain or a mate, He laughs. Ho! Ho! while breezes blew And sits ia royal state. “/ hold the key,” respondeth he, And roared a gladsome roar, hold the key and none save me Can swing the ice box door!” The jailors then were silent men Ana. all wore looks of fear. And ol ’’ nt a n spake: “The ship may Iren A:. . But 1pare that case of beer!” Harry Holland to Play Second By Joe Agler. W ELL, we’re home again, and mighty glad to be here, if only for a short visit full of double-headers. We are not proud of the last trip, but we are not going to cry about it, either. We had tough luck, and lost a bigger percentage of games by a single run than I remember ever see ing before. Also, we lost two mighty valuable players by injury and ap pendicitis. That isn’t all. Several others on this* club are working main ly on their nerve, suffering from all kinds of minor injuries. But we are going to keep at it, and you may be prepared to watch us go some when we finally come home to roost at Ponce DeLeon for the last long series. The first game with the Gulls yes terday was the same old story—we would make a run and the Gulls would se it and raise us one. Clark pitched good ball, but we couldn’t get him enough runs to win. In the second game, Joe Conzelman and Bradley Hogg had a fine pitching duel up to the last inning. Then Harry Welchonce stepped up and leaned against one of Bradley’s fast ones, kicking it clean out of the lot, scoring Tommy Long ahead of him, and the score ended 4 to 2 in our favor. Harry had a regular field day, getting two singles and a double in addition to his four-ply mash in the ninth. We all went over to inquire about Whitey Alperman before leaving Mo bile. The doctors say he is quite out of danger and v. improving rapidly, which makes us ail feel better. I understand Harry Holland, the Tech Infielder, is a member of the elub now and that he may work to day. The fellows who know all agree he is a wonder, both in the field and at the platter, and we will welcome him as a member of the wrecking crew. If he plays second base, that will enable Smith to return to his regular job at third and leave Ma nush available in the event of more damage to our long-suffering aggre gation. Besides Holland, we have Clark and Love, new left-hand pinchers, and Outfielder Holtz to show the fans. Clark is a pitcher of undoubted class and Love shows a barrel of stuff in practice. He may get a chanc© in one of the games here against the Volun teers. Holtz played yesterday. He did not bat very heavily, but showed accuracy and class in the field and in the second game did some flashy work on the towpath, stealing two Manager Smith said this morning he expected to use Dent in the open ing game this afternoon, with Chap man catching. Elliott is in fine shape and should give the Vols a bad time. That club, however, has been hard for the Crackers all season, and we don’t look for any walk-over, even when it is in the role of chopping block for the rest of the clubs. We will catch the double-headers to-morrow and Saturday, unless it rains, as I understand it has been doing pretty regularly ground here.
