Title Tourney for East Lake
Long, Slow Came Was Enlivened by Jack Love’s Baiting and Frank Verdict
WHAT CAN YOU SAY ABOUT A DOG FALL, ANYWAY?
By 0. B. Keeler.
C COMMENT about that most inde-
cislve 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 end a couple of
hyphens and an N.
The dog-fall with Memphis Mon-
lav 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
1 a half, and Home 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.
r) NE was the batting of Mr. .lack
Love, who leads off for the Tur
tles
We u*ed to know Mr. Love, back
In Kansas City, where he played hall
for the Blues.
Having duly mitted Mr. Love, we
HOW TO HEAL A
STUBBORN ABSCESS
took occasion to ask how things were
going with him. This was before
the game.
Mr. Love said thing* were going
so-so. He added that his hatting was
inclined to be off.
We did not notice the offness In
the ensuing melee.
Mr. Love got four excessively clean
hits out of five attempts.
We should like to see Friend .lack
when his hatting was not off—-that
Is. If he were playing again** Mo
bile.
A NOTHER enlivening feature of the
long combat was the arrival of
the Frank verdict.
An effort was made from the press
box to got Umps Stockdale to an
nounce same.
Mr. Stockdale demurred
He said he wasn’t paid tot it.
A raucous appeal was made to Mr.
Stockdale’s well-known wportsman-
shlp, and he decided to take a chance.*
Hut he had got only so far as. "1
have been requested to ann—” when
the crowd, having something else on
its mind, let out a whoop and lost
the htg hit of the day.
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
Pandemonium clouding up. or raining,
or something.
# • •
ANYWAY, It was a long and rather
^ * sloppy game, with old Glenn
Liebhardt showing a return to the
Iron Man form that made him in
vincible once upon a time. Conzel-
man nuffersd a relapse In the sixth,
but weathered it bravely, the hurl
ing honors being about even.

THE Cotton States tourney this year
* will have a number of distinctive
features.
For one thing, the date will 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
jus* 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 term* of the tournament.

Jackson Wants to
Join Dixie League
JACKSON, MISS., Aug 26.—Rep
resentatives of the Jackson baseball
enthusiasts will bo sent to Memphis
within the next few days for the
purpose of opening negotiations to
secure a franchise for this city in the
proposed new Dixie League.
Thus far. Jackson has not been
invited to join the new organization,
but the promoters of the game are
confident that the Capital City could
play ball in a Class A organization,
and maintain a team on a paying
basis.
If the circuit as now planned is
carried out, Jackson would break the
jump between the larger cities, and
thus save the league considerable
mileage.
While the past season in the Cot
ton States League was not a success
financially, the local promoters of
the game have long since learned not
to expect to make any money out of
a franchise. In other words, they
regard baseball as a luxury and
cheerfully put up for the deficit at
the end of each season.

LITTLE ROCK. ARK., Aug. 26 —All
because of a bulldog, it Is likely that
no pennant will be awardsd ths winner
In the Southern League this year
The dog entered the headquarters
where the pennant was kept and very
industriously tore the pennant to shrtds.
The pennant is paid for by annual as
sessment on all the club*.
President Kavanuugh 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 a« the league
rules prevent a club from purchasing
its own pennant, it seems outte likely
that the Southern League leader will
go pennantleas this season.

HANSON NEW PHYSICAL
DIRECTOR AT TULANE
By Chick Evans.
H OW misleading the scores of
games frequently are! Two
players may have had a four
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 i
breadth. Many a time I have landed
in practically the same spot as my
opponent and kicked into a bunker
while he has kicked Into the hole.
It has been *ald that the great fas
cination of golf is its uncertainty, anrl
surely there are a great many vital
thing* 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
side* 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 ill consequence.
NEW ORLEANS. LA., Aug. 26.—
