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 KNOXVILLE MANAGER AFTER DIXIE LEAGUE FRANCHISE MEMPHIS.

Fort Worth, 4, Austin, 3 To Hold “Cotton States” +•4- +»4* +•+ -r • -i- -r*4- Title Tourney for East Here Lake 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.

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. FORSYTH TO-DAY AT 3 2:30 and 8:30 SVENGLLAI?
