Sew York, June 4.—A trip to Kngiand
by a New York taoeball tram la the Intent
t it of newa that local fandom will have
io talk about.
There la uot mbcb doubt hut that one or
the other, |H*rhapa both (and we are not
t ting nwellrdl will win a rhamplotieblp.
In that caa© It la poaalhle that l>oth the

Our KngHch coualna have become In
fatuated with our national game. Thejr

Ireland la not Included yet, hut the "Ould

never fear.
Now while the haaehall frame In Kngiand

unit, will tend to make the great American
cm me a thing of permanency there, eape-
Hally where there la no much conaervatlam
nnd love for cricket and other ancient In-
atltutlona to be overcome.
The Kngllah playera, who have taken up
our game are entbualaatlc over It, hut they
| are In "bu*h league rlnaa" Juat now. Con-
aeijuently ninny Kngllali gentlemen who are
Intereated In th© promotion of haaehall In
that country are dealroua of having one
of our New York teama go over there to
give an- llluatrated exhibition of how the
“real article" la played.
The expense of the two teama will he

Jlin O'Boark© and Tim Murnane were play

on the Knglfahinen with baseball nt that
time, there being a too deep-seated objec

cricket In the background, hut the Ameri

Kiigllahincu at their own game.
In 1888-9 the "flpaldlng Tourists." Includ

their all-around-the-worhl tour 111 Kngiand,

We!!, talk about going some.
May 18 the Atlanta team waa In fifth
place, with a per cent of .464. Now the
Crackers are a cloae third, with a per cent
of .696.
Two gnmea won for Atlanta will put the
Crackera tied for drat place with New Or
leans, provided Shreveport loses one game
In the meantime.
Gee, It Inoka like n rlorh. Of rourse, it
la not so easy to win the next two from
New Orlenna, hut anyway they will come
liefore long.
After leaving Atlanta the Pelicans fly to
Montgomery, where they are sure of
warm reception: while,the Pirates sail to
Birmingham, where trouble awaits them.
And when that switch takes place Mem
phis cornea to Atlanta for n aeries. When
the end of those games cornea Atlanta
may be leading the league.
Then cornea the end of the west's Inva
alon of the enat.
After It la over tbi Crackera go out on an
other troublesome trip. In rapid aucccsalon
they play Shreveport, three gnmea; New Or
leans, four gamea: Memphis, three games,
and Little Bock, three games. After this
I nr union uf the west by the cast the eastern
clubs will flght among themselves for
awhile.

A whole lot of strange things lmppened
In the Southern League Saturday. Atlanta
Just naturally ate up New Orleans. Little

out Memphis and Nashville made twice as
many runs ss Shreveport. It would have

It took 16A minutes for Chicago ami Cin
cinnati to ploy out ulue full lunlnga Sat

"Bed" Bunnell won hla game Saturday
against Jacksonville. Old "Clover Top" Is
pitching and baiting well In the Mouth At
lantic nnd seems to hnve many years of
baseball usefulness uhend of bliu.
Rsymond let Mnron down wl*h. two hits
nnd then hist bis gam©. The Hug's run of

Holmes pitched great hall for Augusta
Saturday. The best that Charleston could

New York and Tlitlndctpbln. Bender won
the second game for Connla Mack's oiicc-
chaiuploiis.
New Orleans Is on the down slant. That
shut-out by Memphis Sunday was a hard
blow. Manuel pitched good hall, but Llch-
hnrdt pitched better. The gentleman with
the "Hutch" name seems to lie the star
of the Bluff City twirling staff.
O'Brien, the Pelican third bnsetnan,
played a tidy game Saturday. He lient
down several Mizzling shots along his alley.
nnd scooped up hnnts on the dead run. He
la about the cleverest third liugmon seen
at Piedmont this year.
Fox "wasn't dolug #o had" Saturday.
He hit for two doublet nnd n single, and
scored three runs. Fox has It ou nny first
basemen seen In this neck of the woods.
Loucks and Phillips struck out two bats
men each Saturday.
ATHLETIC CLUB MAY HAVE
TENT CAMP AT EAST LAKE
The latest scheme to further popularise
the batidvouie country club department of
the Atlanta Athletic Club la a summer
camp, at which the tnemliers nr© to live
during the warm months to be within easy
rcncli of the club grounds and the many
privileges that they offer.
The scheme originated with F. G. Byrd,
no of the club’s moat enthusiastic mem
bers, who la himself spending the summer
near the club grounds. It Is fils plan to
cstob||ah a tent camp, provide a cook nnd
throw It open to the mendiers of the At
lanta Athletic Club. A small sum would
charged weekly to pay the expenses
nnd for the wear oh the cnuiplitg outfit.
The cniup would he run at cost, however,
and this tent life would prove a cheap, aa
well as a very plensant, wny of spending
the summer.
The camp would not he pitched on eluh
grounds, hut would lie within striking dls-
t a lice of the teiiqla courts, golf grounds
slid the lake, and .vet would lie so near to
This sehem© seems to need only a start
to he n huge suecess.
Another plnn which It proposed for the
entertainment of the club memtiera la a
regntfn. With canoes and boats galore
and with all kinds of enthusiasm In canoe
ing. rowing, sailing and swimming It looks
ns though u regiBta could t»e made n huge
success.
As far as Is known no official action
has been taken by the club, but the mem
bra nre euthuslnstlc over the plau and
are Instating It vigorously.
The courts of the club are In active use
these days with the players who are pre
paring for the Southern Tennis chniuplou-
ship, which Is uow so uenr nt band.
