/HE ATLANTA GEORGIAN, FRIDAY, JTTNE 1. 1906. TRAVELLERS FURNISH LOTS OF FUN !#••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••*•! ! BUSY DOINGS FOR BASEBALL PLAYERS D’ARMOND MAY JUMP TO PENNSYLVANIA OUTLAWS Ye.v gentle reader, PeArraond was traded to N.'ifthrllle for rearamt. Bur that's no blooming sign that I>eAr« m«nd will go to Nashville. Iu fart, whan last haard from DeArmond wii» talking vary atrenuously abojit Jnrup- lnc to tha outlaws and taking a trip to Johnstown. «'hlef Zimmer pulled off tha trade be en ur- DeArmond waa not aatlafled to play In Uttle Rock. And now the gentleman «lth tha fancy name wishes 1 to announce thfit ha la not satisfied to play with Nash ville either, and that ha la likely to fly to th« Mfe harbor of all disgruntled ball play- are—tha outlaw league. f'lilef Zimmer left last night for Clara- land and hli brother. W. W. Zimmer, tha business manager of the team, la In charge during bln absence. Mr. Zimmer was delighted with tha crowd* it the park Wednesday, but dis trusted with the showing of the Little Rock "1 think that those ware tha worst games I aver saw the team play/' ha aald. *'We have been off at various times, but never ( ga badly as yesterday. I guess the crowd did It. The team wanted to do well before those 3,800 people, and as a result made a mess of it. "Over In Little Rock tha team has bean drawing very well considering the position they have I wen occupying. And It will not surprise me at any time to see the bunch draw out of the hole. Individually the Lit tle Rock team Is a good one and cost the Association quite a bunch of money. Dren- nen and Rill Douglass, for Instance, had to be bought. Then the chief apent a lot of money making trips after players. He has a good bunch, too, and whan things begin to break their way, If they ever do, we will do l»etter than finish In last place." An Interview with Billy Smith was not productive of much news. "I’m going to do something about those suspended play ers pretty soon, but nothing Is stirring as yet." And that was all there was to It.
