enthusiasts will be sent to Memphb

secure a franchise for this city in the

play ball in a Class A organization

basis.
If the circuit as now planned u
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 gam*' 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

So. League Pennant
LITTLE ROCK. ARK., Aug. 26. —All
because of a bulldog, it is likely that
no pennant 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 pennant Is paid for by annual as
sessment on all the clubs.
President Kavanuugh declared to-day
that ho did not think the second divi
sion clubs would again contribute to
ward purchasing something that they
ha*i no chance to win, and as the league
rules prevent a club from purchasing
its own pennant, it seems ouite likely
that the Southern League leader will
go pennantless this season.

To Hold “Cotton States” Here
*!*•+
Title Tourney for East Lake
T
''T'MITS 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—w T ill 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.
* * *
HTHE Cotton States tourney this year
1 will have a number of distinctive
features.
For one thing, the date wfill 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
juMt 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 w ill 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 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 are
certain to develop in H. M. Ashe. Jr..
Harry Hallman. William’ Matthews,
Roff Sims, Jr., and others.
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.
’T’HIS will be the first tennis tour-
A nament the Atlanta Athletic Club
has staged this year. The Driving
Club put on the Georgia State Cham •
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
pionships.
• * •
A S 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’clock the afternoon of Saturday.
September 6. They should be ad
dressed to Carleton Y. Smith, 608
Walton Building, Atlanta. Ga.

gomery Southern League club for a

HANSON NEW PHYSICAL
DIRECTOR AT TULANE
By Chick Evans.
H OW misleading tho scores r
games frequently are! Tw
players may have had a fou
on a certain hole; the newspaper
duly chronicle the fact and on th
face of the returns the playing seem
equal, yet the actual playing varie
widely in skill.
For instance: A drove a beaut
and pitched his second nicely on th
green. B sliced to tall grass to right
played a poor shot Just out; pulled
half-topped half-iron to the left-han
edge of the green and holed out, whil
A missed his putts by a hair'
breadth. Many a time I have lande
in practically the same spot as m
opponent and kicked into a bunke
while he has kicked into the hole.
It has been said that the great fas
clnation of golf is its uncertainty, an
surely there are a great many vit;
things connected with the game ov*
•
control. For Instamce, there is th
‘‘luck o’ the draw,” a most importar
factor in a tournament; for the t T v
sides of th* 1 ladder are often vastl
different. In addition, there are
thousand and one little things tha
are so irritating when acting ad
versely.
One of the latest novelties I
hazards comes from Kansas. In
match there we are told that th
ball of one of the players was swal
lowed by a snake and the hole wa
lost in consequence.
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 report here in a
few days.
