The scats for the spectatora at the tournament hate been put In plane. Superlnteadent 1’lrkerlng and Ills men nrc working to mid night each night watering the courts and getting them In good condition, and the work of extending the car Hue la progress ing nicely. A letter was received today by I*. !>. Print, chalrmau of the tennis committee of the Atlanta Athletic Club, from 4. 8. David- son. champion of the South, saying that he did lint expect to attend the toiiriinnient to dcffiid Ids title, and adding Hint aa far na he could learn none of the titles would lie defended. This menus that there will be no challenge rounds and that the players who win the singles, doubles and women's singles will lie the champions, without fur ther play. Mr. Itavldson’s letter would seem to In dicate. that the Washington plgyera have n colossal groueli over the fact that the tournament was transferred from Washing ton to Atlanta and their peevishness over the affair Is quite nmualng to the members of .the local club, who ttfllsve that they can pull off a Southern tournament without any assistance from the District of Columbia.* . President Sam Williams of the Southern Tennis Association received this morning the entry of Arthur Fischer and Karl Utile, of Cincinnati. The Oblonns state that they will play In singles and doubles nnd that they will lie In Atlanta Sunday, which will give them a day of practice before the tournament opena. These two players linve done good work In trl-stnte ami Ohio slate tournaments nud will prove a welcome addition to the coming tournament at Fast Lake. The tournament committee has announced that Frank Heyiiolda will act as referee of the tournament. HARVARD WINS BOOTS HOLDS FROM OLD ELI DOWN A JOB By Private l*ensed Wire. • Now London. Conn..

DOC CHILDS’ PITCHING TOO MUCH FOR BARONS LARGE PACKAGE OF FRESH “DOPE” If Birmingham had some speedy pitchers they would be hard -to bent Vnughnn'a Angels play a nice game In the field. Matty Matthews kept the peace Thursday —nil day. The decisions sectued to suit bliu and be emitted nearer; a' howl. * Crosier showed his speed In the accoud Inning when, he-laid down a bunt'toward nrat. Meeks went out after It. fielded the ball and; started back, to the ling. He saw that Creator was going to lx*at him there, so he slid for the bag, feet foremost. Dicky landed, these a fraction of a second sooner, however, and got credit for a hit because of his fast wogk. President Knvnnaugli has served notice on Harry Vaughan that he cannot play In another league game thla year. That's the same sort of a notice that he has served on Billy Smith-only llllly’ii notice doca not take effect unless he drops out of the game once more. • The New Orleans p>i say that the Crescent City putdlc has been rallying round Charley Frank ever since the charges of "live balls" were first made. It's otld, . though, 'JU*. the attendance does not show It. Harry Vaughan was asked how the at*' tendance was the laat time hts tfhm was In New Orleans. "I got three guarantee*," be said. "1 took away 11,000 from Atlanta for my games with them aud 9225 for my gnmes In New Orleans. I guess that shows somethlug about the ’backbone of tho league.' Doc Childs performed an odd stunt. He gave three wild pitches uiid ogly ou* base' on Jmlls. It Is not once In ten thousand ftmef that a pitcher gives more wild pitches than base* on'balls. • . • , Childs had excellent control, except for the three bad ones, nnd with a little more work ;wlM Interest any of them. As a special feature of Indies' day, Mntty Matthews hat agreed f6 do one of-his fa mous ground and lofty, tumbling acts. A man can tell by the. also of the crowds nt Piedmont park whether or not Atlanta Is winnlug. Thursday, after the lost double- header, the Attendance .was not quite op to par. . .. \ } _ , • . 4 \ South Atlantic papers are openly charging Hint "Btiggs" Itn^mond can bo bought and •old by tin horn grttnlderii like so ’much cheese. The Snvaunah Pie** states that he was drunk before the. game Saturday and that lie was supplied with bqofe by the gamblers who had twt ngulmtt Savannah. The papers aro catling for Raymond's ek- pulKlon nnd It la doubtful If such an. act would not be for the beat Interest of base ball. The New Orleans Item says the New Or leans tcnui Is the best behaved In the Bouthertl League. Which statement, by the way. Is about tbe worst fusult that seres' Southern league tenuis have had to aland for this year.

ATLANTA 2, In a game of ball like those you read about, Atlanta put the knout to the Blrmiagham Barona Thursday by a score of 2 to 1. ' Both teams played baseball for keeps, and the game was one of the most entertaining of the year. There were Just enough hits and Just enough brilliant plays and a,sufriclent quantity of good, wholesome excitement stored in the hour and thirty-five minutes that the game lasted to make It Just what the doctor ordered. "Doc" Childs appeared on the tiring line for the Crackers for the first time since his term of suspension expired, and he djd nice work. Four hits, two of which, were made by the mighty Molesworth, were the net result of the Barons' batting efforts, and a single base on balls n ; as all he gave up? Atlanta scored twice. In the first In ning hits by Winters and Morse turned the trick, While in the second Jordan's good two-bagger and Archer’s single accomplished the desired effect. The Atlanta players were right on their toes all through the game, and It was evident from the Jump that no tenm In .the league could beat them, provided their pitcher held out—and ht certainly did.
