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

If tbs IJttle Itoek gnnie todny happened
to be n nhetout n remarkable record would
lie established—four straight shutouts
against the same team In three days. Rtlll,

chow.
Brady, the man who no nearly smothered
Atlanta Thursday. Is the man who best
her In IJttle Itoek by n score of 8 to 1..
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 two third baseman pulled down aome
hot ones. Rmlth smothered a stasler from
Anderson's bat and Hickey hooked onto n
torrid one ttuit Jordan turned loone.
Newlln'a hit In the ninth Inning, wan a
lucky one. It went down to Harley, who
nlnpped nt It. Morse, wan right In the .line
of flight ami would hate nabbed It ueept,
for thnt. llnrley deflected the Pall and It
rolled safe. However, Jhe hit did not ent
much flgure.
Rt. Loots threw It Into Cleveland again, 8
to 3. In eleven Inning*. The Nap will have
to keep wriggling to ntay ahead of the
New York heat Jimmy Dygert Thursday.
Griffith himself turned the trick. 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

The Memphln team, on Its first visit to
Birmingham, has favorably Impressed the

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

—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."

Western league. He Is accounted the star
twlrler of the Memphis club, and gets awar
with a majority of his games. IJebhnrdt

Because players don’t kick ou an umpire’s
derisions Js no sign he is handed dowo.
Karsnaugh has mussled the diamond
heroes In such a manner that to klrlt la

Good business, too. Fans pay to see hall

thews please take notice.)
The different Cities continue to hammer

are getting right up next to the hlg ms*.

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-

Carey played with Nashville for a while
several years ago, hot Fisher lost him on
some technicality.

some time ago, Is now twirling In the

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

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.
