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." M. Kutz Team Now Leads Commercial League Race SATURDAY’S RESULTS. M. Koti X Writ End 1 J.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. BYER8 18 CHAMPION. By Private Leased Wire. Englewood, N. J., July lft.-Eben M.
