HOME SERIES IS OPENED
WITH CLEAN-CUT VICTORY
On Monday afternoon, juat aa a starter
for tba borne series of fifteen fames which
the Atlanta fans will hire the pleasure of
seelof durfnf the next two and a half
weeks, the Firecrackers trounced the Sffre-
gatlon of ball tossers from Little Rock
to the tans of 8 to 1. And the mighty
Brady was In the Imx for the visitors at
that. It was Atlanta's fame from the
first Inntof, snd It was simply a question
as to bow larfe the score would be at the
finish.
The fame was marked by clean, fast
playlnf. Only one error was cbalkinl
afalnst each team. Until the last part of
the contest. It looked like a hitless shut
out, but "Doc" Childs finally let down a
little, with the result that the visitors
bunched the hits and scored a lonesome
run In the eighth. A base on balls to
Msany and two singles by DeArmoud and
Donglass did the trick.
Atlanta bnncbed her runs In the first
and third Innings. In the first, Otto Jor
dan . started the fun by singling. Then,
with two out, Rid' Smith singled, scoring
Jordan, and Whltey Morse did the same,
scoring Smith. Of course. Fox was there
with hts double, and Morse scored.
In the third Inning, and while It drls-
xled In a threatening manner, the spirits
of the Little 'Ilock delegation were still
further dampened by a bunch of hits, and
four runs for the home team. Winters
^lt to second and beat It out. Hid flmlth
and Morse each singled, and then, with
the bases full, Fox bit n cute one past
second, scoring Winters and Smith. Wal
lace got a punk hit In the fnfleld, and then
a hot one by Archer peat second scored
Morse and Fox.
Not content with the number of Mna
already set against the home team on the
score board, one mors was added In the
seventh. A pretty two-bagger by Winters
and n single by Umlth gave Winters the
needed opportunity to score on the throw-
in, when Morse filed‘out to left field.
This la the score sheet which made the
Atlanta fans so happy last night;

ONE DAY’S DOPE HARVEST
The Pelican team la without a doubt
the atrongeat In the league right now,
Tou can't get around It, and If the boy.
don't win the pennant It will be be
cause of the disadvantage, they will be
put to. If Manager Frank get. an
other pitcher the team will loom up al
most aa strong above the others as last
year's team did.—New Orleans Item.
Tea, maybe, but Charley Frank la up
against the same proposition that Mc-
Qraw la In the National League—every
other team la pulling against him.
Exoept, maybe, Memphis.
When It cornea to a hard worker and
an all around good backstock, you'll
have to take your hat off to Matthews.
"Matty" never says die, but Is at It
hammer and tongs at all times. He
la one of the moat popular players that
visits this city.—Nashville American.
Same for Atlanta. Everybody likes
Matty—In hla more peaceful momenta.
Bobble Qllka, the promiscuous talker,
says that Birmingham will ny the
trophy this season.—Birmingham Age-
Herald.
Billy Smith regrets to report that he
la not of the same opinion.
"I can't see that team for the pen
nant," said Billy. "They are hitting
right now, but I don’t see how they
can win."
Nashville has landed O'NelU and
Fleet, two players from Indiana. Finn
la trying hard to strengthen the toam.
The funny part of the matter Is
that It la not New Orleans that the
players fear, but Atlanta. The Peli
cans all have tho "21" sign up Is the
opinion of the local players and the
united opinion Is that Atlanta will be
the boys to mnke the run with Birm
ingham. While this Is the opinion of
the players, all are glad that this Is a
true condition. The players of these
two clubs are most friendly and It
, would Indeed be a pleasure If Blnnlng-
. ham could fly the rag and Atlanta land
.second—Birmingham News.
Birmingham baseball writers havo a
boost for Atlanta players and a knock
for Atlanta writers. However, If tho
Take this, for example, from The
Birmingham News: "The high school
boy on The Atlanta Georgian has
called attention to a grammatical er
ror which was made In haste In these
columns a few days ago."
Pardon us, though. It was our mis,
take. We agreed to swear off.
Billy Smith Is not popular here, but
the Atlanta Association la well thought
of by all. Billy appears to be one of
those “I’m It" kind.—Birmingham
News.
That's a sweet-tempered dope artist
The News has.
Billy Smith Is still signing new men.
Come on, Billy, you can't get too
many, as you will have to beat three
teams to win that rag.—Birmingham
Ledger.
President Kavanaugh says that fif
teen Is too many, but maybe he Is
prejudiced.

TRYING

MORE
GAMES?
Certainly Looks So From the Fact That Series Scheduled For Little
Rock Has Been Transferred to New Orleans—Manager Smith
. Will'Take Action to PreventFrank From Taking Advantage.
la Cbarlsy Frank back at bis old tricks!
Gas of Little Bock’s home series has been
transferred to New Orleans and President
Kavanaugh has uotlfled Manager Zimmer,
of. Little Rock, of this change.
Unless one of the nerlea between Little
Rock and the Pelicans In the Crescent City
transferred back to little Hock—and
Zimmer bee heard of no such transfer—the
league Is ranght In tha act of doing juat
wbnt Atlanta has protested against tuoat
bitterly for a couple of years—giving New
Orleans more games at horns than they
have on the road. By giving them more
at home the league helpa Charley Frank
In hla race for the pennant and propor
tionally handicaps the other clubs In their
efforts along the ume line.
New Orlenoa la scheduled to play at Lit
tle Rock August 6, 7 and 8. But Manager
Zimmer has been notified to go to Now
Orleann for thta series. Union, tbe three
games which the Trnvaleri are scheduled
to play In New Orleans July 3, 30 and 31
are tranaferred to the Arkansas capital—
and no one on earth bus any Idea that they
wljl be transferred—then eomebody Is giv
ing Charley Frank tn advantage over other
teams In the league.
Moat of the talk about Charley Frank
and hit position aa "Dictator of the
iMgne" has been unadulterated both, but
If he can dictate to the league where gamee
are to be ployed It lotas pretty bed.
Manager Smith was up Ip arms when In
formed of tho Intended switch. "We'll
have to do,something,” he said. 'Til write
to Harry Vaughan and find out what be
knows about It. Birmingham and Atlanta
Will have to hang together on thta deal.”
When Manager Zimmer was naked admit
It he said: "I only know that we have
been ordered by tbe president of tho longue
to play thosb games In New Orleans, In
stead of In Little Rock, where they ere
scheduled. And we have not been Informed
of any ewttehlng of gemes back to Little
Bock to make up for It, so' I tako It that
we Juat lose those home games."
Manager Zimmer, of Little Book, teemed
glad to land In Atlanta Monday and ap
peared relieved that he had eacaped from
Now Orloani.
When be was asked If he saw any evi
dences of "robber" balls 111 Pellcsntovrn he
•till: "I guess It Is the old cnee down there
—■punk bolls’ or ‘Iced balls' wbsn the via-.
Itor/nre at bat. 'live balls' when tho homo
team comen In. But of course I can't
prove It.
"It la none of my easiness," continued
the Chief, "but If I wan President Kava-
naugh 1 would go down tbore myself and
when thlugi looked suspicions I would go
right on the field, get tbe ball and cot It
open."
Zimmer was unusually enthusiastic over
his new man, Kleth, of Untvernlty of
Arkansas fame. "He la the find of the
season," he said, "and he will go higher."
Wallace, the new recruit, took hip first
turn In the field yeaterday and made a
hit with the fans. If he continues to do
well be will be retained. If be doee not
Billy 8mlth eayn that he la going to try
to go back In the game.
"I talked the matter over with, Harry
Vaughan," he eald, "and we decided that
there wee nothing In the constitution or
by-lawn of the league, and nothing tn tbe
rule* of the National Association or the
rules of baseball which prevented ms from
going In and out when I pleased I think
thnt President Kavanaugh wan wrong when
he warned Vnnghan and me that If we
went out again we could not go back. In
case It la naceseary we will teat that
ruling."
Manager Smith was much pleased at the
•howlug of Chillis In Monday's game.
"He did not try to pitch hla head off In
the first two or three Inologe the way he
has other times,” said Manager Billy, “and
In consequence be lasted better,"

Philadelphia, July "l7.—Raro Berger n*
Jerk O'Brien and whiled him to a stand
still In their elx-ronnd bout last night.
Berger went after him the moment the
bell rlanred and every minute during tbe
six rounds he betted the Philadelphian,
was the surprise of O'Brien's life. Iqetesd
of the big soft lad—a rammer at the
game—he found one with a wallop that
toil and etnng. O'Brien tried to Jump
and Jab. He wen welted In tbe body. He
tried to slog, bnt was fought beck to the
ropes. He tried to feint, bat fonnd an
opponent who wss ns cool is be.
O'Brien was'beaten at every tom.
Berger never for n moment lost hla con
fident sir. Its ths referee motioned to the
men Berger walked np and met O'Brien,
whose heed wee cocked on the aide. The
bell dinged after the talk and they went
St It Berger, with his lips tightly closed,
met the Qnaker In the center of the ring
end the very first crack slammed him on
tbe jaw with a left. He wan crouching
slightly and went after O'Brien, who Im
mediately ntarted his "Jumping Jock" tac
tics, sending hie left over to Berger'e
fare. Berger had stndled thin te he had
watched O'Brien In former battles and as
O'Brien Jomped he shifted his head to the
•tde and tore bla left Into the Quaker's
body with terrific force. He did it again
and again. Surprised at the esse with
which he locsted the Qusker, Berger went
after him and whaled away with both
hands.
Ths crowd wss In' an nproar. O'Brien
bad met a man who hit him In every ex
change. Ill danced In and ont, from aide
to aide, and while dancing to the right
ho met a left of Berger's that sent him
to the ropes, and raised n lump Ilka An
olive over hla right eye. Berger's seconds
were wildly yelling for him to keep at
O'Brien end Berger was there like "Johnny
behind tbe rock.” He forced tbe Qnaker
all over tbe ring, taking Jabs to smash the
body with either band, and jetting n pace
that wan killing.
O'Brien opened tbe eecond by nmasblng
bln left to Berger's noae, drawing blood,
but tbe latter never stopped. He ripped
left Into O'Brien's stomach that lifted
the latter off the floor nnd aa O'Brien
dneked tn Imaginary left Berger welted him
on tbe eye with n right hook that tore n
gash sn Inch wide In the Quaker's eyebrow.
Blood flowed down O'Brien's facs, over his
•honlder and down hln chest In a stream.
Barger's glove wae toon bloody and avery
time be smashed the Qnaker he left a red
mark, so' thnt In n few momenta O'Brien
looked more like tn Indian than a white
man.
In the third Berger was fighting mainly
for the body. O'Brien elonted Bergv,
l»th aides of tbe Jaw with left and rl*£
and was stun, twice In the body tor
trouble. Berger smashed a right
O'Brien's sore eye, and started the blend
flowing again. O'Brien inrun, t wlrkJ

He landed two rights to Berger'. j. T

He seemed to have lost his pnneh.
In ths fifth both slowed np n trifle, .Min
ing to bold out for the last round. Hfrpr
did not force much nnd O'Brien made f
beat showing of the fight. There wae
fierce mix on the ropes at tbe bell.
They shook hands as the gong called theta
to the center In the sixth and Berger start,
od "kidding" O'Brien. The latter tried to

In with a left, getting a right on tbe back
of the head that sent him honoring to th*
ropea. He came back and jumped In at
Berger again, but got a right In tbe riba
that sounded all over the building. It
hurt O'Brien and Berger jumped at hint,
soaking right* and lefts to the bod; and

malted again. They fell Into a clinch and
on the order to break, O'Brien booked
Berger on the note, starting the blood
again. The crowd hooted at the foul and
O'Brien stopped ■ left on the Jaw tbit
seemed to Mtlsfy Berger for the clout.
Berger rushed O'Brien around the ring,
•winging hln left to the body and laughing
at the feeble jabs of hla opponent. The
crowd yelled for n finish, but O'Rrlen held
to tenacioualy that there was little chance
for a mix. The bell eounded as Berger
had him In the comer. O'Brien was booted
aa he left tbe ring. Cheers tlone were lor
Berger.

SOME CHORTLES FROM A CHEERFUL GAME
Not no bid for a (tarter, eh!
It wan a long game, made more no by
the slow manner In which the vletton
tossed around the bell In the early tubings
when It looked ns though J. Pluvlnn would
help them ont with n downpour of rain.
After the fifth they played much faster
bell.
All eye* were on Wallace, tbe new fielder
Billy Smith landed while the teem wae
sway; snd when be walked to the plgte
In the Ant he got the glad hand from the
crowd In n truly warm welcome. And when
be got n pretty tingle nnd slid 3 feet
to make second on the throw-ln maybe
ho didn't deserve the applauee he got.
After n little nervounnesn Is worn off and
he becomes better acquainted with hts
teammates he will undoubtedly he ns good
at the beet of them In his position.
Jim Fox appeared at the plate with a
new bat and the crowd was "on" In n
minute. Tbe tat le evidently filled with n
new supply of hits, for tbe Ul! boy got
tingle tod doable Joet when they were
wanted. .
Doc" pitched greet tall, and with tbe
good support bad tbe game well In band
at nil stages. In the tint Inning be retired
the nlde in one-two-three order nnd he re
peated the ntnnt eeveral times. Just to show
low Msy tt was. If hs hadn't let np
the Inst fsw Inning* he could have won
no-hlt game.
One of the funniest plays that has oc
curred on the local diamond this year was
that In the third Inning. Archer wee ou
Bret nnd Wallace on third, nobody was out
and Child! won nt the tat. A doable steal
was attempted, Archer starting for second
and Wallace for home. Archer got to sec
ond nil right, at tbe attention of tbe vte-
ttora wee given entirely to Wallace, who
was caught between third nnd home. Archer
k'«t on coming, however, .and although
Wallace mfely retreated to third, he landed
there nt the Mtne time Archer did, und
the Utter was tagged out. Every man In
the Infield got an MSlet on the piny.
Brady wan credited with n punk hit In
the fifth that wee entirely dne to a mlncne
by Chi Ids . Hickey wae on first, and when
Brady hit an cany grounder to pitcher,
Childs threw to third, although nobody
wan ever dreaming of going to that corner
of the dUtaond. Juat what nude Childs do
tbe stunt le hard to explain, although some
body on the coaching line undoubtedly
blundered. No damage was done by tbe
pUy, anyway, so what’s the nset
visitors In the neventb, and It wan a mighty
pretty one, too. , The next three men were
easy outs, however, nnd no again, what's
the neel
It anre did look like rain In the second
nnd third Innings nnd the little sprinkling
that did come only added to the feert of
the font. No doubt the visitors were offer
ing silent prayer* for rain before the fifth
Inning, but It wan not to be and not a
moment wan lost on account of the drixxle.
Wallace accepted hla foor chances In a
very professional manner, nnd with hi* two
hits made a good Impression upon tbe local
crowd, who expect great things to develop
from the new youngiter. Wallace le built
like Httnaon and bill* fair to become the
Idol of the ladle*.
Ilia t'mps Rndderham had abont the
caeleet time of any official who hat held
that difficult position on the local diamond
thin teaaon, for not once were hie decisions
questioned. And considering the Mveral
fast pUys that were made and the close
decisions rendered It was Indeed food work
for hla amp*.
The crowd wan not what wan expected
for the opening day of the new home series,
but the stay thU time In no long that the
fenn will have. nil kinds of opportunities
to tee the local boya straggle for the pen
nant. Tuesday In Udles' day, and It I*
tn assured fact that with any kind of de
cent weather' the attendance will be np to
the top notch.
Far be It from na to discourage any
legitimate rooting, bnt the uee of cow talln
for that purpose-la very much to the Way-
ernes. A fen who ha* no connlderntlon for
those around him Is an undesirable addition
to any tall park.
Greek Throws Western Man
In Fierce Wrestling Match
Before a crowd of nearly 800 > follower*
of the art of wrvetllng, n majority of whom
were Greeks, two of the beet wrestling
matches ever seen In thle vicinity were
pnlled off at the Peatalres auditorium
Monday night. Both matches were for
blood, nnd tbe equality of tp* contestants
worked the crowd up to euch t high pitch
of excitement that eeveral timet the aquad
of police on duty lu the ball wae obliged
to take e bend In quelling th* threatened
disturbances.
Tbe first match waa between Bob All. t
husky-looking Turk, nnd Charles Olsen, the
champion of the South. The Swedish ath-
lete. although not an heavily built an hla
opponent, tad the advantage of speed and
