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
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
anil maintain a team on a paying
basis.
If the circuit as now planned i*
carried out. Jackson would break th*:
jump between the larger cities, an</
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 teamed 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 i he deficit at
the end of each season.

Bulldog Destroys
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 Kavanaugh 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 as the league
rules prevent a club from purchasing
its own pennant, it seems oulte likely
that the Southern League leader will
go pennantless this season.

WILLIAM^ ISSUES DEFI
TO ALL EASTERN BANTAMS
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.
* • •
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 time should be superb. Thq
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 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. w'on 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 visiting
play'ers. w'ho 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.
'THIS will be the first tennis tour-
1 nament the Atlanta Athletic Club
has staged this year. The Driving
Club put on the Georgia State Cham
pionships and the Southern Cham
pionships w'ent 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 w'ill 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-
dres-ied to Carleton Y. Smith, 60S
Walton Building, Atlanta. Ga.
ROY LASATER. DALTON
BOY, JOINS BILLIKENS
DALTON, GA., Aug:. 26.—Roy Laa-
ater. who has been pitching for the
Crown Cotton Mill Baseball Club this
year, has left to report to the Mont
gomery Southern League club for a
try-out.
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.
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.
* or 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
breadth. Many a time I have landed
in practically the same spot as mv''
opponent and kicked into a bunker
while he has kicked into the hole.
It has been said 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 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.
NEW YORK. Aug. 26 —Kid Williams,
