BEWARE OF IMITATIONS
Long, Slow Game Was Enlivened by Jack Love's Batting and Frank Verdict
WHAT CAN YOU SAY ABOUT A DOG-FALL, ANYWAY?
By 0. B. Keeler.
C COMMENT about that most inde
cisive thing In baseball, the tie,
drawn battle, or dog-fall, usual
ly can be limited to one word of
four letters, ordinarily expressed In
print by the D and a couple of
hyphens and an N.
The dog-fall with Memphis Mon
day was no exception to the general
rule.
Therefore, you may just consider
the comment pronounced, as fol
lows:
"D double hyphen N.’’

I T took eleven innings, two hours and
a half, and some other things to
decide that the first game with Mem
phis will have to be played some
more.
Still, there were a couple of
features.

NE was the batting of Mr. Jack
Love who leads off for the Tur
tles
We uaed to know Mr. Love, back
In Kansas City, where he played hall
for the Blues.
Having duly mitted Mr Love, we

took occasion to ask how things were
going with him. This was before
the game.
Mr. Love said things were going
so-so. He added that his batting was
inclined to he off.
We did not notice the offness in
the ensuing melee.
Mr. Ix>ve got four excessively clean
hits out of five attempts.
We should like to see Friend Jack

Net Stars Meet for
U. S. Championship
NEWPORT, R. I.. Auk. 26—The
match for the title of tennis cham
pionship of America between Maurice
McLoughUn. the wonderful Califor
nian and R Norris Williams. Jr., .if
Philadelphia, was the magnet that
drew another Immense crowd here to
the courts to-day.
McLoughUn. because he excels \\ 11-
llams with a terrific service, was a
slight favorite.
FORMER CRACKER SETS
NEW FIELDING RECORD
MEMPHIS. Aug 26.--Shortstop
Humpty McElveen, former Atlanta and
Nashville infielder, now with the Knox
ville. Appalachian League, club, is be
lieved to have established a world’s rec
ord for errorless fielding From June
21 to August 23 he took part in 42
games drulng which time he did not
mako a single error. That Mac did not
shirk the ‘hard ones’ is evidenced by
the fact that he accepted in all 250
chances.
A MOTHER enlivening feature of the
long combat was the arrival of
the Frank verdict.
An effort was made from the press
box to get Umps Stockdale to an
nounce same.
Mr. Stockdale demurred
He said he wasn't paid for it.
A raucous appeal was made to Mr.
Stockdale’s wall-known sportsman
ship, and he deMded to take a chance.
But he had got only so far as. “I
have been requested to ann—” when
the crowd, having something else on
its mind, let out a whoop anti lost
the big hit of the day. *

session of a bottle of morphine left
carelessly in the waiting room of the
Seaboard depot at Leslie, near Amer

hour motorcycle race which will start
next Sunday night at the Brighton
Beach motordrome will include some
of the best Hders in the United States

ttains. Owing to the fact that con
tinuous riding has in the past proved
such a strain that accidents are very
likely, the management decided upon
a six-hour rest for all the riders after
the twelfth hour.
"THE extras got out in a few’ min
utes, however, and there was a
good chance for a Reporter of the
Old School to get In something about

ANYWAY, it was a long and rather
x * sloppy game, with old Glenn

man suffered a relapse in the sixth,
but weathered it bravely, the hurl

Bulldog Destroys
So, League Pennant
LITTLE ROCK. ARK., Aug 26— All
because of a bulldog, it is likely that
no pennat will be awarded the winner
in the Southern League this year
The dog entered the headquarters
where the pennant was kept and very
industriously tore the pennant to shreds.
The i»ennat is paid for by annual as
sessment on all the clubs.
President Kavanaugh declared to-day
that he did not think the second divi
sion clubs would again contribute to
ward purchasing something that they
had no chance to win, and as the league
rules prevent a club from purchasing
its own pennat, it seems quite likely
that the Southern League leader will
go pennantless this season

GDLFSGORESNQ
PROOF OF SHILL,
T HIS is the announcement of a
tennis tournament that should
interest every tennis player and
every tennis fan in Atlanta and every
tennis player and fan in the South.
Play in the Cotton States Cham
pionships—the third annual tourna
ment—will begin at East Lake on the
clay courts of the Atlanta Athletic
Club Monday, September 8, and will
round out a week of the classiest
tennis ever seen in this* town, or in
the South.
THE Cotton States tourney this year
A will have a number of distinctive
features.
For one thing, the date w r ill be the
latest ever set for a tennis tourna
ment in Atlanta.
That idea itself appears an excel
lent one. The weather conditions at
that time should be superb. The
Southern League baseball season will
Ju?it have closed, and those tennis
fanciers who also love the national
pastime will not have to divide their
esteem, but can turn their whole at
tention to the new attraction.
Carleton Y. Smith is at the head
of the movement to bring the Cot
ton States tourney here, it having
been formerly held in Montgomery,
where Lee Allen Brookes, of Bir
mingham, won the last championship.
Mr. Brookes will be here to defend
his title against the winner of the
tournament in singles, who is re
quired to challenge the title holder by
the terms of the tournament.
• • •
A GLANCE at the cities from which
players will be entered will give
a pretty fair idea of the importance
of the event.
Play’ers are expected from Nash
ville. Chattanooga. New Orleans,
Memphis. Knoxville. Montgomery,
Louisville and Birmingham, the last
named being the home city of
Brookes, the singles champion, and
Bartlett, who, with Brookes, holds the
championship In doubles.
Special provisions are being made
for the entertainment of the visiting
players, who will enjoy the hospital
ity of the Atlanta Athletic Club dur
ing their stay here—no small induce
ment in itself to spend a week at
tennis in Atlanta.
I N the list of local men entered for
the tournament are such well-
known players as Nat Thornton,
Bryan Grant. Ed Carter, Carleton
Smith. J. K. Orr, Jr., and Carl Ram-
speck. Among the /younger set some
brilliant contestants for honors ara
certain to develop in H. M. Ashe, Jr..
Harry Hallman, William Matthews,
Roff Sims. Jr., and others.
In all, not fewer t than forty crack
play’ers will be sean in action on the
famous red clay courts at East Lake,
and even fifty or sixty contestants is
a modest estimate, considering the
interest and importance of the tour
nament.

Club put on the Georgia State Cham •
pionships and the Southern Cham

great big event at East Lake begin
ning September 8, and it is expected

HANSON NEW PHYSICAL
DIRECTOR AT TULANE
NEW ORLEANS, LA.. Aug. 26.—
C. A. Hanson, for the past five years
physical director at the University
of Michigan, has been appointed phy
sical director of Tulane University
by President Sharpe.
Mr. Hanson is to reports here in a
few day a
sms c. ns
By Chick Evans.
H OW misleading tfie scores of
games frequently are! Two
players may have had a foul
on a certain hole; the newspapers
duly chronicle the fact and on the
face of the returns the playing seems
equal, yet the actual playing varied
widely in skill.
For instance: A drove a beauty
and pitched his second nicely on the
green. B sliced to tall grass to right;
played a poor shot just out; pulled a
half-topped half-iron to the left-hand
edge of the green and holed out, while
A missed nis putts by a hair’s
breadth. Many a time I have landed
in practically the same spot as my
opponent and kicked into a bunkei
while he has kicked into the hole.
It has been mid that the great fas.
cination of golf is its uncertainty’, and
surely there are a great many vital
things connected with the game over
which the player has no voluntary
control. For Instance, there is the
“luck o’ the draw," a most important
factor in a tournament; for the two
sides of the ladder are often vastly
different. In addition, there are a
thousand and one little things that
are so irritating when acting ad
versely.
One of the latest novelties in
hazards comes from Kansas. In a
match there we are told that the
ball of one of the players was swal
lowed by a snake and the hole was
lost in consequence.
