WHAT CAN YOU SAY ABOUT A DOG-FALL, ANYWAY?
By O. B. Keeler.
C "COMMENT about that moit inde
cisive thing in baseball, the tie,
drawn battle, or dog-fall, usual
ly can b© 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
* a half, and w>me other things to
decide that the first game with Mem
phis will have to b© played some
more.
Still, there were a couple of
features.
• • •
A NE wan the hatting of Mr. Jack
Love, who leads off for the Tur-
’ ties
We used to know Mr. Ivove. back
In Kansas City, where he played ball
for the Blues.
Having duly mltted Mr. Love, we
took occasion to ask how things were
going with him. This was before
the game.
Mr. Love said 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 against Mo
bile.
A NOT HER enlivening feature of the
** long combat was the arrival of
the Frank verdict.
An effort was mad© from the press
box to get Umps Stockdale to an
nounce same.
Mr. Stockdale demurred
He said he wasn’t paid for it.
A raucous appeal was made to Mr.
Stockdale’s well-known yportsman-
Hhlp, and he decided to take a chance.
But he had got only so far ns, "I
have been requested to ann—’’ when
the crowd, having something else on
Its mind, let out a whoop and lost
the big 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.
• • •
A NYWAY, it was a long and rather
sloppy game, with old Qlenn
Liebhardt showing a return to the
Iron Man form that made him in
vincible once upon a time. Conzel-
man sniftered a relapse In the sixth,
but weathered it bravely, the hurl
ing honors being about even.

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 th©
proposed new Dixie League.
Thus far, Jackson has not been
invltad to join the new organisation

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 U
carried out. Jackson would break the
Jump between the larger cities, an<f
thus save the league considerable
mileage.
While the past season In the Cot
ton States League was not s 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.

So. League Pennant

because of a bulldog, it la likely that
no pennant will be awarded the winner

industriously tore the pennant to ahreda
The pennant is paid for by annual as
sessment ou all the cluba.

sion clubs would again contribute to

Title Tourney for East Lake PROOF OF SKILL
T HIS is the announcement of a
tennis tournament that should
interest every tennis player and
every tennia fan in Atlanta and every
tennis player and fan in the South.
Play In the Cotton State# 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
th© South.
• • •
THE 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 tlma should be superb. The
Southern League baseball season will
lust have closed, and those tennis
fanciers who also love the national
pastime will not have to divide their
esteem, but can turn their w'hole 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 GLANCTE at the cities from which
players will be entered will give
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 tbe 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 th© younger #et some
brilliant contestants for honor# 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 contestant# Is
a modett estimate, considering the
interest and Importance of the tour
nament.

T HIS will be the first tennis tour
nament the Atlanta Athletic Club
has staged this year. The Driving
Club put on the Georgia State Cham •
pionshipe 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.
• as
A8 to the tournament itself, the of-
** flclal referee will be Frank H.
Reynolds, of Atlanta, and that fact
assures a competent and sportsman
like handling of the events.

two sets out of three. Finals and
ohallenge matches will be three sets
out of five. Consolation matches will
be two sets out of three.
The tournament will be held under

HANSON NEW PHYSICAL
DIRECTOR AT TULANE
By Chirk 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 tail grass to right;
played a poor shot Juat out; pulled a
half-topped half-iron to the left-hand
edge of the green and holed out, while
A misved his putts by & 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
w'hich the player has no voluntary
control. For instance there is the
“luck o’ the draw," a most Important
factor in a tournament; for the tw’o
side# of the ladder are often vastly
different. In addition, there are a
thousand and one little thing# that
V© so irritating when acting ad
versely.
One of the latest novelties hi
hazards comes from Kansas. In a
match there we are told that the
ball of on© of th© players was swal
lowed by a snake and the hole was
lost in consequence.
NT7W ORLEANS, LJL, Aug 28.—
C. A. Hanson, for the past five year#
physical director at the University
of Michigan, has been appointed phy
sical director of Tulane University
by President Sharpe.
Mr. Hanson is to report hara In a
