DOUBLE BILL
T O-DAY is a good day to start
the Attendance Record for At
lanta and Beat Birmingham
Movement.
It’s a bargain day.
The dogfall yesterday between the
Memphis and Atlanta clubs necessi
tates a two-ply engagement this aft
ernoon, the first game beginning at
2:15 o'clock.
Manager Smith said this morning
he was hoping to capture both ends
of the bill, and that Thompson and
Love would be intrusted with the
hurling.
The Memphis boss fancied Harrell
and Parsons as the marksmen for his
rrew. and was equally hopeful of
boosting the Turtles a few points at
the expense of th© Crackers.
The coincidental occurrence of the
grocers' half-holiday to-morrow with
the special layout of field sports at the
ball park is expected to produce a
whale of a crowd in the stands when
the sprints and pegging and batting
bee commences at 3 o'clock.

CINCINNATI IS DISSATISFIED
with Joe Tinker as manager, thus
maintaining its batting average of
1.000 in dissatisfaction with mana

“Oh, city of fat head and dub!
Oh, who would wish to run thy
club?*’

THE FACT THAT IT TAKES

THERE IS SOME NATURAL

Go Out to See the Crackers
Play Whenever You Can
If We Want to Prove That We Have the Best Baseball City
in the South We Must Beat Out Birmingham for the
Biggest Yearly Attendance.
ENTRIES
The Atlanta ball club is fighting desperately to finish one-two
in the Southern League race this year.
Prospects look fine for “two.” There is a fighting chance
for “one.”
Either position is honorable—particularly in view of the fin
ish of the Crackers in 1912 and 1911.
The fight the club has made deserves the warm and hearty
support of the Atlanta fans.
THERE IS A BIT MORE TO IT THAN THAT, TOO.
The Atlanta fans are engaged in a fight, the nature of which
most of them probably do not realize.
Birmingham has tossed down the glove.
“We have the best baseball town in the Southern League,”
the Birmingham fans say.
“We’re proving it this season,” the Birmingham fans add.
“We’re turning out more in attendance, supporting a near-
second division club, than Atlanta is to boost a pennant con
tender.”
• And—soft pedal here—that is a cold fact, to date.
The Crackers put the Barons out of the fight for the 1913
pennant. They did it by trimming the scrappy Barons three
times in a row in their own town, and then three times in a row
in Atlanta.
Bill Smith and his hands did that for Atlanta.
BILL SMITH AND HIS HANDS ARE MAKING A BETTER
FIGHT FOR THE RAG THAN THE BULKY MOLESWORTH
AND HIS HANDS,
But Molesworth and Company are drawing better support
from the Birmingham fans.
And the Birmingham fans, and the Birmingham papers, are
bragging about it.
They laugh, and they say:
“We’ve got the best ball town in the league.”
THEY HAVE NOT!
We know—you and I—that WE’VE got the best ball town
in this league.
We ’ve still got time to SHOW THEM, this season, so narrow
is the bragging margin in Birmingham,
There’s only one way to SHOW THEM.
Go out to that old ball park every day you can.
Strain a point.
SHOW BIRMINGHAM WHICH IS THE BEST BASEEALL
TOWN m THE SOUTH.
You live in it—do something for it.
FODDER FOR FANS
Cleveland's victory over the New
York Yankees yesterday was the twelfth
this season. The Naps dW not gain
in their pennant race, though, for the
Athletics shut out the Browns.

Young's Death Puts
California Fight
Game in Very Bad
• LOS ANGELES, Aug. 26.—The
fight game Is dead in Southern Cali
fornia. as a result of the d^ath of
John. (“Bull”) Young, who died of a
fractured skull after his bout with
Jess Willard. At least, pending j
fights here have been declared off.
and Willard says he is done with the j
ring.
Announcement of the cancellation
of all dates was made* to-day by
Thomas J. McCarey, promoter, and■
Earl Rogers, attorney for the Pa- |
eifle Athletic Club, which staged the
Young-Willard match.
Chief of the fights thus declared off
is the Cross-Dundee Labor Day con
test. The Pelky-Miller fight also will j
be abandoned.
The action of the club came af
ter the death of Young had been
made the theme of discourses from !
the pulpits of many churches in the j
city and after bitter attacks by the
press on the game as it is conducted.
Ministers occupying the most
prominent and influential pulpits in
the city denounced the law that al
lows prize fighting in this State, and
many urged their parishioners not to
forget the Young incident when the
next Legislature meets in 1915.
While there is yet no concrete
movement afoot to abolish the sport,
the Iowa State Society, at a picnic at
which 20,000 persons attended, passed
resolutions condemning prize fight
ing and advocating the abolition of
the sport entirely.
De Palma Makes a
Record Trip Around
The Elgin Course
ELGIN. ILL., Aug. 26.—Auto race
drivers entered In the two days’
events on the Elgin road race course
beginning Friday were out on the
track early to-day, trying out their
racers and learning the track inch by
inch. Ralph Del‘alma, winner of last
year's Elgin trophy and free-for-all
purse, hung up a track record for the
practice runs when he made the eight
and one-half miles around the track
in 7 minutes and 43 seconds.
The record was made in freshly
laid oil and at the risk of wrecking
the racing car and ending the driver’s
life. De Palma’s teammates, Pullen
and Wishart, tried out their Mercer
cars, hut did not attempt any records.
Joe Dawson tried out his Marmon in
slow runs. Hundreds of visitors were
in Elgin to-day and the crowds at
this year's races are expected to
eclipse those of any previous year.
