Atlanta Men Play Tennis | SZ2RJS ChangesinMullaney’sTeam
SCHWARTZ IS REINSTATED
AND HICKMAN IS RELEASED
Report That Mullaney Has Signed Burnum
Proves Erroneous—Atlanta’s Deal For
Schwartz Off—Smith After DeArmond.
Manager Mullatiay. «f tt»*» Montgomery
team, has reinstated Bohwartz. bla atnr *®c*
on<l Itnaeiunn. who hna Iraen under napeu*
felon, nnd haa released Hlukimin, •who hna
been playing second Irate.
This puts an end to Manager Smith s
deni for the Montgomery IlilleJder. Manager
Sndth has had wires-out for DcArmowl of
late, hut has not landed him yet, nor are
the prospects very good.
The report that Iturimiii had Iraon signed
l»y Manager.Mullaney proved erronotta. "I
have not signed Iturnnm. though I way,"
said Manager Mullaney. "I don't think
be Is In shape, or I would land him. I
am out for another pitcher nnd may get
one Irafore I return home. Burnum came
to me and asked mo to give him u trial,,
which I said 1 would do, although I told
tilm f would not sign him until he showed
me tluitlie tfiraln shape to play trail. And
I don't think he Is (u shape. Ho 1 guess
that deal w*lll not go through."
The Cordele management Is after fleorgo
Stinson, the outfielder released by Manager
Smith. It Is doubtful If Stinson is In shape
to play anywhere, however, lie Is In#trad
physical condition now nnd may lie out
of the game for some tlnfe.
Manager Smith was delighted with the
good condition Archet proved to he In, nn<^
hopes that Jimmy will Ira aids to go right
aloug now nnd play practically every game.
Atlanta's star>catrber seems little the worse
for his accident. nnd Is hobbling around
in good style.

It Is hard luck that Manager Mullaney
did not see the "live ball" now In his
possession taken from the New Orleans

"ruug In" by Charley Frank his affidavit
to that effect would make Interesting read

Of course. It Is morally certain that Frank
did "ring In" that Identical ball. It Is
doubtful If even the Dutchman would try
to deny that.
