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 ^OMMENT about that most inde cisive thin* 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." • • • 1 T took eleven innings, two hours and 1 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. 0 N ! was the batting of Mr. Jack ove. who leads oft for the Tur tles We used to know Mr. Ix>ve, back in Kansas City, where he played ball for the Slues.

Mr. Love wild things were going so-so. He added that his batting 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 Jack when his batting was not off—that is. if he were playing againwt Mo bile. Jackson Wants to Join Dixie League JACKSON, MISS., Aug. 26.—Rep resentatives of the Jackson baseball enthusiasts will be 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 nixie League. Thus far. Jackson has not beer invited to Join the new organization but the promoters of the game arc 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 it 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 « 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.

To Hold “Cotton States" Here +•+ +•+ + •+ Title Tourney for East Lake 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. * THK Cotton States tourney this year 1 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 Just have closed, and those tennis fanciers who also love the national pastime will not have to divide their esteem, but can turn their whol© 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. Players 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 viritlng 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. ’T’HIS will be the first tennis tour- 1 nament the Atlanta Athletic Club has staged this year. The Driving Club put on the Georgia State (’ham • pionshlps and the Southern Cham pionships went to New Orleans. All things, therefore, point to a great big event at East Lake begin ning September 8, and it is expected that society and tennis fans in At lanta. and all over the South, will set apart that week and mark it off in favor of the Cotton States Cham pionship*. G1FSUESI By A 3 to the tournament itself, the of ficial referee will be Frank H. Reynolds, of Atlanta, and that fact assures a competent and sportsman like handling of the events. All matches except finals will be two sets out of three. Finals and challenge matches will be three sets out of five. Consolation matches will be two sets out of three. The tournament will be held under the auspices of the National Lawn Tennis Association. Entries will be received until 6 o’clpck the afternoon of Saturday. September 6.

Lasater is Just seventeen years of age and has had practically no ex perience; but he is a husky young ster. standing about six feet, has con siderable smoke and is willing to learn. HANSON NEW PHYSICAL DIRECTOR AT TULANE 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 his putts by a hair’s 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 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 th® “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. 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 Rum* speck. Among the younger set some brilliant contestants for honors are cert Ain to develop in H. M. Ashe. Jr.. Harry Hallman, William Matthews. Roff Sims. Jr., and other*. In all, not fewer than forty crack players will be seen 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. 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.
