law:

WE8T END V8. JOHN 8ILVEY.
The steady West End team, which de
feated J. RegetiMteln nnd the heavy hitting
J. Sllvey team that downed Fort A Davie*
Hnturdny, will celebrate the glorious Fourth
by meeting at Oakland diamond for their
drat Commercial Iscnguo meeting a
o’clock sharp. This will he a hot contest
'oil a good diamond. Take East Point or
College Park car, get off at Oamtnage
Crossing.
West End will play The Atlanta News
team on the Grady Place diamond In the
morning at 8.
lug a tough time digesting their last pill,
they are sticking by the club.
Vaughan says Atlanta people are hard
loser*, but they grin and hear their mis
fortunes. When It Is said there la no
knocking In Atlanta It li meant there |t
none among the real supporters of the
game. Of course, the tin horn gambler It
Imay there as In nil other cities when a
game la lost. Birmingham, too, baa Its tin
horns and of course this la to be, expected.
Vaughan did well In Atlapta and he la
rejoicing.—Birmingham Lrdgtr.
Atlanta fans have the reputation of being
the gameat losers In.the league. Olad that
fact Is recognised Sven'In* Birmingham.
Thu New Orleans Tlniea-Democrnt says:
"Birmingham mid Atlanta' continue to
talk about New Orleans having lost out as
the first team In the Southern League.
Various hints are made that Atlanta and
Birmingham could easily drop New Or
leans and Shreveport out of the league and
lie bet|or off. When the dropping subject
comes up, a Southwestern Isoague, with
Galveston, Houston, Dellas and Fort
Worth taking the places of Atlanta, Bir
mingham, Nashville and Montgomery
would prove something of a blow to the
blowers. Atlanta would toon find herself
In the South Atlantic league, with Bir
mingham flying as a tail-coder In the
Cotton States aggregation. These Texas
towns are fast becoming big cities, and
they have a habit of-supporting a losing
teem with as much heart go * winner. This
Isn’t true of either Birmingham * or At
lanta."
Word* fall! Why try, to comment on
such an outburst of Insanity at that! Let
It pass.
BARAGA LEAGUE STANDING.
By Private Leased Wire.
New York, July 8.—The row over Go
Between, winner of tho Suburban handicap,
will not down. It broke .out afresh at
Hheepahead bay track when three voter!
nary surgeons reported to the stewards of
the Coney Island Jockey Club that the
son of Meddler-Iudigo Is a. full-fledged
•tuition.
The vets bore out the positive statement
to this effect Monday by John E. Madden,
whose partner, F. It. Hitchcock, protested
Go Between'i victory In consequence.
Alex Hlilelda, the owner of Go Between,
was culled tafore them during the races
ycHterday, and asked to explain how It
was that, although he had had Go Be
tween In hla barn since last June, be had
ylther concealed the fact that the son of
Meddler was not a gelding, as represented,
or had been In total Ignorance of ths
fact.
Tho veta who examined Go Betwsen
yesterday said that there could be
room for doubt ntaut him; that he waa a
fully developed stallion, nnd that bo had
not even been operated upon.

Why isn’t that rubber hall investigated?
Why Is It.that Frank la not suspended
awaiting a trial? Isn’t the charge serious
enough for such action? Evidently Presi
dent -Tearsnntigb does not think so, and
he Is the Bom, yes. At any rate dilatory
means are not conducive to satisfying tho
public on this matter. If narry Vaughan
had been placed lu the same position as
Frank It Is a cinch be would not be wear
ing the seat of suspension. Ob, wbnt a

true that Frank hna undue Influence with

Maybe it Is "undue influence." Maybe
It la ouly "pull.” Anyway Charley Frank
Is hitched to the Houthorn League with
such an adhesiveness that dynamite would
not dislodge him.
The case' against Umpire Budderdam for
using "abusive. Insulting or obscens lan
guage In the hearing of females" has been
continued. Judge Kavanaugb could not
sparo hla umps and the case went*over.
By the way, that Atlanta hospitality was
something stunning, according to the re
ports brought back by Managsr Harry
Vaughan ami tho members of his team.
Atlanta never does thing* by halve#. When
they get defeated they always go the whole
way. They never break even. They want
all or none. And last week they got al
most none. "With all her faults we lov#
her itlll.’’—Birmingham Ledger.
In the language of the Birmingham writ-
era. "a good time waa bad.” Come again
boya.
Where are alt the aportlug critic# In At

Southern Papers Join in
Roasting Charley Frank
How various papers throughout
South regard Charley Frank aud hla baae
ball methods Is well shown by tbs fol
lowing clipping, which waa part of an ed
itorial which appeared recently In Th*
Char lea ton New* and Courier:
"There hot twen too much trickery,*'
we are told by The Knoxville Sentinel,
•In legislation. In politic*. In trade, la
manufacturing Impure or Imperfect prod
uct*, and now the time haa come even
In sporting circles when men who cun not
act fairly and abide by rules that they
themselves have been Inatrnmental In mak
ing. will be kicked out of authority." Our
contemporary adds: "The baseball mana
ger who win anrreptltlously uses rubber
tall In a game of baseball Is as'bad ss a
man who will aa* a marked deck of cards
or who will drug a race horse.”
The Hentlael Is none too eevere la Its
animadversions. However corrupt our leg
islation and politic* and trade, we moot
insist that our baseball shall be pure, sad
that our baseball managers shall be men of
the highest probity of character. It will
be noted, probably, that the charge against
Frank la that one of the ball* naed by
hla team waa a rubber talL It must not
be forgotten, however, that the game at
which this ban waa seed waa played oo a
Sunday, and It may be that the rubber
hall waa naed out of respect to the day.
It might be found upon a careful exam
ination that a rubber ball Is juat aa good
to play with aa the regulation ball. It
would certainly bounce better, and It
would be as hard to hit and aa hard to
bold as oue of the regulation missiles with
which the game la generally played.
Jake Ats la at last a full-fledged Pelican
again. When At* secured bis release from
the president of the Lo* Angeles club be
accepted term* with Manager Freak, hut
President Burke, of the Coast Leugue. held
tluit Lo* Angeles waa trying to break up
the league, and their releases should not
be recognised. Ats asked the Ualted State*
... that them should be no question
as to Ats’s playing. Manager Frank pur
chased hla mease. The telegram complet
ing the deal came just as Kinday's game
started.—New Orleana Picayune.
No game at Piedmont Monday—rain.
Those half dosen words tell the sad story
of a day of unexpected and desired rest on
the part of the Nashville and Atlanta teams
and of deadly doilnem for Atlaata fan*.
The prospects looked good for -a game

down the gauntlet to rival colleges

once n man ncrepta money for hla aerv-
Ices In any athletic contest, he becomes
a professional, nnd In no longer eligible
for college athletics. Regardless of this.
It Is n well-known fact that college base-
tall players ptay In professional games
under other names. The committee nt
Cornell, In a spasm of broad-mindedness,
proposed that It would be tatter to openly
allow the taaeball players to play during
vacation time.
Horae of the colleges did not take the
same view. Now It Is said that Cornell
will allow her players to appear In pro
fessional games.
