THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN. MONDAY, JULY 16. 1906.
CRACKERS HOME
FOR A LONG STAY I
Pennant Race Grows Warmer
Along With the Weather
After one of the moat spectacular climbs
In the history of the Southern league, the
Birmingham bunch has hit the top of the
Udder, where It Is tied with the New Or
leans aggregation of birds for the lead.
On May 2S, the Darons were In fifth place.
Now they are tied for first.
Both teams hare a per cent of .MO. New
Orleans bss won 48 games and lost S2, while
Birmingham has won 48 and lost SO.
into the Barons and the Birds are
fighting hard for first place, Shreveport,
down In the third hole, Is n contender.
With 4S games won and 81 lost, the Gllk-
ers hare n per cent of .692, and a posi
tion which Is near enough the front to
count la the rush for the pennant.
Atlanta's position Is most encouraging.
In fourth place, with 41 games won and
88 lost (.864) the team Is safely ahead of
Memphis, and out of danger from the sec
ond division. And also the Crackers are
near enough the front so that they can
make It more than Interesting for any of
the leaders.
With a long home series at hand, against
the western clubs, which were so Inglo*
rlously trimmed the last time the team
was at home, prospects look bright for At
Unta.
It Is going to take some tall hustling
during July and September, however; for
the Crackers only have seven games at
home In August, and It will be a mighty
bard matter to keep near the front with
so many rood games to be played.
However, Illlly Smith Is cheerful, and
that Is a good sign.
“Montgomery and Atlanta are up against
It In August," lie said Monday morning.
But I think that we will get along ail
right The team Is working good, and that
counts."

KUTZ WINS™HARD GAME.
The moat brilliant game of ball yet pnt
up by any Commercial league team wai
that between M. Kuta and Weat Eud Sat
urday at Piedmont park. Tbe game waa
Interesting from atsrt to finish. The
threatening nln kept away the expected
crowd. The game waa a case of RulUrnn
as. Jloggs. Hood, the lint man up In the
first Inning, went out, abort to lint. Mld-
•llrhrooks want rla the same route. Bolma
.rrarlmd first on an error, and scored West
■.End's tint run on bits by liunnlcntt and
Parka.
The M. Knts team failed to connect with
■the ball until the fourth Inning, when
Ahlee, the pinch bitter, faced Boggs for
the second time. Cherlef, feeling confident
he would redeem hfmaelf, sent a Texna
Leaguer orer second. He stole second and
'third, and whlla he waa performing hla
fleet-footed baa# running, Edens fanned tbe
nlr, Mlddlebrooka, catcher for Weat End,
dropped the ball, and aa the first baseman
■ran up, Ulddlebrooka threw to first, and
‘ Holms returned the halt home without
touching first Imse, throwing wild. Ahlea
scored, and Edens also circled the bases,
giving M. Kuta two run,.
In tha sixth, a hit, a hate on balls, and
« bit netted II. Knta their last run.
In tha ninth, a baas on balls and two
(hits teat West End's last run across the
I PUt».
I It took dote decisions to decide many of
the plays, and Umpire Winn certainly has
ftbe heat Judgment yst displayed In the
■ Commercial League.
Tbe features of tbe game were the pitch-
ling of Sullivan when, In the seventh In
ning, he retired tbe aide with flve hulls
.thrown, striking out the last man. Not
withstanding the fart that Hoggs fattsd to
get the derision, bo pitched brilliant ball,
-holding tho heavy-hlttlng Kuta team down
to three hits.

Smith May Suspend Childs
But Will Not Sign Brown
William Smith & Co. landed in Atlanta
8unday ami tha bunch of game winners Is
ready for the opening “go" Monday after
noon with Zimmer’s Little Ilock aggrega
tion.
Tha arrival of tho team has enabled local
Inquirers to solve many questions which
have popped up recently and remained un
answered until the present.
There was “the Brown mystery," for ex
ample. Brown landed with mnch flourish
ami played in one game. Then he dropped
oat of the liox scores nod nobody seems to
know much about him. Manager Smith
explains that Brown was brought down for
a trial and that be Is still with the team,
though he lias never b<;en signed. Brown
la a trifle light for Southern I-engue work,
and It la likely that he will get hla pink
slip. Wallnce, the South Atlantic man,
will take the only vacant place In the out
field, and that leavee no opening for Brown.
Duggan has not been signed either. "Doc"
Childs will be pitched this afternoon. If
he Is In shape to go the whole gem- nn4
If he does well he will stay on the t.'.viZ
and If he does oot he will be susp-ndwi
and Duggan will be signed for a trial.
Erect In nndrr suspension end la likely
to remain there for tbe present. Manager
Smith anya that Jack will not work enoagk
to keep In ihnpc. and that be will not |«
him go or nae him either until he work,
Into condition for * hard trial.
Manager Smith la attll looking for a goo,
third basemen. “Sid Smith I, playing ,
g.wd game there," etld Manager Illllr Mo*
dny morning. "Bnt I need him to be!,
Archer out behind the bet. So I hope ,,
pick up a good man somewhere."
Manager Smith hae so far misted Te4
Sullivan, the Cincinnati steuth, who Is dow,
on a still hunt for hall players for tb,
.Hods. He has been located by Tom O'Brien,
hnwerer.' Tom, who used to manage tbt
Montgomery team In days path It her- ,,
the an errand that brought Ted Sulllvis
except that he la representing Washington
From here be goee to Montgomery.
IV. J. Tilson Finishes First

GOOD TENNIS

TOURNAMENT FOR CHAMPION-
8HIP OF 80UTH ATLANTIC
BEGIN8 AT AUGUSTA.
PETER MAHER
FOR REFEREE
GOOD SHOOTS
AT LAKEWOOD
The "odd hole" tournament played over
tbe Piedmont Golf Club's course Saturday
afternoon reanlted in 4 victory for Tilson,
who played from aerateh and who made the
courae In 47 stroke*. Street, with a han
dicap of 6, finished second with a gross
of 67 and a net of 61; and Byrd waa third
with the second best gross acore—60—and a
net of 62.
Sixteen players took part In tbe match
and the tournament proved a thoroughly
entertaining one. The grounds were wet
and a stiff wind was blowing, which added
to tbe difficulties of the already difficult
courae. The first hole, in particular, proved
a Tartar. This bole was from the first
tee to the fourth green and was about 660
yard! In length. The bogey waa 6, but
the nearest approach to it made by any
of the contestants waa a nine, which F. yf.
Stone scored, Tilson waa next with ten
strokes. The following explanation of the
defeat of F. G. Byrd la contributed and
the writer pleads guilty:
"Byrd waited two hours for The Georgia*
sporting editor, who waa under promise to
play with him, and then started off with a
IS on this hole." The remainder of Mr.
Byrd's round was close to bogey and with
any luck'on tbe first hole he would turn
won the first prize.
The prize for the largest score went to
Clyde King, who made the course iu K
strokes.

Philadelphia, July 18.—The alx-round fight
between Jack O'Brien, of thle city, and
Sam Berger, the California ox-nmnteur,
which taken place tonight at the National
Athletic Club. In thla city, will provn tho
good Judgment of tho club matchmakers In
their ability to bring together two boxers
In whom the sporting public Is Interested.
The advance salo of tickets has been (rest-
ly beyond expectations.
O'Brien haa been training at Atlantic
City nnd Berger trained at Oceanic, N. J.
Hence there It considerable mystery t, to
what condition they are In. It Is thought
that both men are fit to go a fast clip for
the six rounds.
O'Brien le a cool- clever-headed fellow
who Is wise to tbe feet that a strong, hard-
hitting young mnn like Berger might it J
any time slip n punch to his Jaw which
would forever ruin him ne nn attraction tt I
the puglltatlc fraternity. Hence he never
takes any chances of not being on edgt |
for every bout he undertakes.
Berger nnd bla trainers are aware ot I
O'Brien's marvelous skill aa a boxer, and
It It said that the Californian will nae bla
great atrength to the best advantage right
from the start, hoping to make up In that
line anything he may lack In skill.
AI Ksuffmsnn, who It took O'Brien 17
rounda to stop In Hsn Francisco, has been
quietly.’training here for weeks with the
Ides of getting on a match with the winner.
He will lie at the ringside to Issue t deft
to the man who will he declared to bars
the best of tonight's encounter.
