THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN, FRIDAY. .TUNE 1. 190& TRAVELLERS GOING, PELICANS COMING ATLANTA TEAM PULLS UP CLOSE TO THIRD PLACE It Atlanta touts Little Rock again and Birmingham trim* Memphis, tbe Crackers will go to third place, a*: tbe end of Thursday's game Memphis h.ni won 23 and lost 16, while Atlanta had won 23 and lost 17. A- the name point in the league doings New Orleans and Rhreveport were tied, « bcIi with a per cent of .667, with 26 games ^ on and IS lost. The .667 of the longue leaders looks pret ty good compared with tbe .575 of Atlanta, and yet If Shreveport and New Orleans !■ tbe next four games and Atlanta mould win. the Crackers would lead the bigue, barring unexpected activity on the part of Memphis. Of course this Is not likely to happen, but It shows that Atlanta Is right In the r tmlng, and that, with continued good I'i ;k, the Crackers will soon be In the 1< id, where they rightfully belong. nirmlnglinm seems safely relegated to ti e second division. The Borons are play ing better ton than they did awhile back, I t they do not look dangerous. DeArmond Is still on the fence, lie la In tlonta and no one*seeni| sure what he Is going to do. He has not gone to Nashville j • t, nor has he Jumped to the outlaws. Well, the great question In hugology lias wen settled nud the much discussed mlpter-Itayroond-has gone to Savan nah. Here's wishing the Rug good luck. He • .lit to lead the South Atlantic toagtie, l be Is certainly a wonder when he la vesting well. Burnum Is yet far from being In eondl tlon to pitch hall, and there la little telling what will liecome of him. Doc Childs, on the other band, la getting In good trim and will either be given another trial on the team or lent to aome other team In the near future. Manager Smith would like to give him a swirl with the Crackers, hut be does not feel like releasing any of hla present staff of twlrlers. W. W. Zimmer. In charge of the Little Rock club. In tbe absence of bis brother— Chief—does not know an.vthlug stout the deal for Zoller except that It Is “on." The youngster, who was recommended by Brody, hns agreed to come and transports tlon will probably to wired to him from Little Rock. Manager Smith Is very anxious that Lit tie Rock give Ison a trial at second, where a pitcher Is playing at present for the Travelers. Unfortunately the Zimmer In charge of the team has no authority to pull off such s deal, and C!hlef, the man who holds tbe reins/Is In Cleveland. Charley Frank will arrive Saturday morn ing from Nashville. He haa a regularly scheduled game with Memphis In Memphis Sunday and will have to leave early. In consequence the game will bo called at 2 Instead of nt the usual time. Considering that Charley Frank's team [" the league Just at present and that Atlanta-New Orleans gsmes are al ways warm propositions. It In likely that Saturday's crowd will dent the season's record. The game will certainly to worth a ten-thousand paid admlaslon crowd. Atlanta Wins Again and Makes it 10 Out of 12 Atlanta, 1. Little Rook, 0. Atlanta handed Little Rock the shutout wallop Thursday for the third consecutive time and won her tenth out of tbe last twelve games. Score 1 to 0. Which was going some. If rot more. •Dd too much credit ran hardly to given the beat or at least second t»cst team In i ti e first Inning, wheu one run was scored, they were Invincible.

He kept Ills lilts effectively sent- and did not allow tho two tones on I <;u he gave up to become obnoxious. Brady pitched wonderfully good toll, jongh, and was right ther** all tho way.

Rudderham was arrested Thursday In Montgomery for using abuslre language. Itallur surprising In Kudderhhm. He In apparently tbe quietest of mortals. Mlkq was gtvlug the Pelicans n taste of what they are going to get In Atlanta. Archer got a bad bump In the ankle In Thnradny'a game. Ilrady .trnek at n pitched ball mi hard that he swung dear arnuud and lauded the Iwt right ou Arch er's shins. It must have hurt ivuie, but Arvher went right eu entitling.

The Kplt Ball Kid pitched good twit, though. Clone gamee are the order of the day In the Ueorgta Rtnte Iwngue. All three were bard fought Thursday. Brooklyn In strictly the confectionary these days. The Dodgers shat out Boston yesterday and only Wednesday they did tbe •ante thing for Now York. Birmingham and Memphln are certainly playing twit these days. Thursday they went ten Innlnga, and Hurlbnrt of Mem- phla Anally preaented the Barona with tbe game by throwing the ball over the fence. Pretty good for the Tong boy. SEVERAL CHUNKS OF NEWS CHOPPED FROM EXCHANGES It's a good team that gets the best of Atlanta on her own grounds.—Montgomery Journal. Yes, 6nt they all get * fair chance and no ertn break. The Memphln team, on Its first visit to Birmingham, has favorably Impressed the fans. Tbe bunch evidently known some thing about the game of baseball.—Birming ham Ledger. Atlanta fnnn will have n chance to judge about this for themselves next week. Charley Frank bon Informed Mike Finn that he wnntn Plans bark for tbe Atlanta games, evidently the New Orleans mogul thinks Atlanta will bo n pennant contender. —Memphln Newn-Relmltar. 'That Dutchman" will undoubtedly hare Just cause to think no before he gets through with the Cracker*. "Daddy” Vaughan did not ate*! any bnlln yenterdny.—New Orleans States. There they go agslu. trying to give Vaughan a bad name. Birmingham papers please take notice. Maylw It Is part of thqt "conspiracy" against Vaughan. The Birmingham papers are horrified at the hope which Bobby Gllks expressed that New Orleans would best Birmingham. While hero Bobby said: "Birmingham has a pretty poor chance to win any pennants, for every team In the league Is against Vaughan. They feel that they do not get * square deni In Birmingham. And they think It I* Vaughan’s fault." In lh» new pitcher's twirling ability.

Karsnaugh has mussled the diamond heroes In such a manner that to klrlt la almost to die.--Birmingham News. Good business, too. Fans pay to see hall games, not chewing matches. (Matty Uat> thews please take notice.) The different Cities continue to hammer Manager Vaughan and tho Barons, hut tbs local management and the fans of the city are getting right up next to the hlg ms*. agar.—Birmingham Ledger. Well, we thought thnt they would "get next” to Vaughan some time. Otto Jordan haa * grudge against some one and In trying to work off his hard feelings by knocking tbe exterior off the globule. Fudge!—Montgomery Jouroxl.* "Scoop*" Carey, who covers first for Memphis, Is an old National and Ameri can lengner. Although a little elow on bin him the judgment and quick thinking Ity lacking In younger players. He Is sn old head nt the game.—Birmingham Age- Herald. Carey played with Nashville for a while several years ago, hot Fisher lost him on some technicality. Geyer, the pitcher released by Nssh-rille some time ago, Is now twirling In the Ohto-Pennaylvanla League. Geyer Is a good one.—Birmingham Ledger. Breltensteln, who was recently released by Rbrereport, landed today and I* look ing fit Tho cx-Plrnto nay* ho In feeling pretty well, hut In not sure of hla arm. He may go Into thn game this afternoon and, If no, the fans will have an oppor tunity to tlse him up. Both Amerine and Mullnney placn a good deal of confidence While nil thin talk In going around shout Breltensteln, "Doc” Zeller, "Red’’ Flaber and tbe rest, aome of these dope writers ought to alt up and 8ake notice of Un well, late of the Cotton Rtatea League, who Is now star twlrler on the Montgomery team. Hla progress will be well worth watching. Only twenty-two now, If he continues to Improve for tbe next few yearn ns he If doing now, he will he nut of the biggest pitchers In tho hlggeit league one of these days. A game between Max and "Red” Fisher ur Zeller would he a contest worth going miles to see. And we wouldn't mind risking a straw hit on the Kid, either.—Montgomery Journal. Hark to the defiance of Tbe Birmingham News: "Let Frank snd hla henchmen do their worst and nee whether or not Harry Vaughan Is nny thn worse off. They may outmore him In league meetings, but this will be nothing." Now, I guess Charley Frank will he good. Atlanta looks mighty good Jnst now and they are not falling to sneak ths big end of the score behind the board. They didn't do t thing to the Pirates and It li only regretted thnt they did not hare s ehanra to do them worse. It’s a elnch they will strap the Pellcnus.—Birmingham New* Montgomery, of Birmingham, Is quoted aa saying that bo would not play In Atlanta for three pints of beer or something to thnt effect.
