Keep It up, Nod. There are thoueanda of tans who would llko to so* the Bed Lags a winner. Houston wins the pennant for the first half of the South Texas League season. 'The second half Is now on. Few players have anything on Clarke Griffith when It comes to years of senr- Ica. He pitched for Milwaukee In MM. The Lancaster dnh of the Trl-Btate i League recently lost a fonrteen-lnnlng game ) to Williamsport by a score of 3 to 2. And ! tha following day tho same clnb lost a J thlrteen-tnnlng game to York, 6 to 2. The I Tri-State Is certainly the “cookies” for ex tra Inning games. Jim Ten Eyck In stilt endeavoring to have tba collages take up octopeda rowing, lie says that It has sweep racing beaten to death. Both Atlanta and Little Rock got what they war# looking for Wednesday after noon at Piedmont park. Atlanta won two games, and tha Travelers collected quit# a bit of money out of the l>lg crowd which turned out to sea tba slaughter. Bo everybody was eatlsfled. Of course, Zimmer would bare been glad to hare bad the gamea, but the mighty maauma was what counted. Atlanta wotr by all-round playing which was better than that of Little Rock. Zeller nnd Duggan bad altogether the beat of the pitching, and tha Atlanta players hit harder and oftaner and fielded In errorless fashion. The event of the day was the debut of Daggan, the southpaw wonder of th* Inter-Btate l-eague—now defunct Elmer was about the moet mystifying pussier that Little Rock baa stacked up’ against this year, tip to the laet Inning, when two men wore out, only one hit wna registered, And that waa a hot liner which want right Into Otto Jordan’a hands, hut which waa too hot to handle. In the laat Inning, with the game won a doaen waya. “Johnny Duggan's Little Brother” let up a bit and two more singles were counted. But no Traveler could score, and tha game waa a triumph for the new twtrler. ATLANTA 8 LITTLE ROCK 3 Beul>en Zeller, the Pennsylvania Pickle, waa in the box In the first, and hla work waa strictly along the proper lines. He allowed Llttlo Rock seven bits, struck out seven men and held the game right In the palm of hla hands at all times. Keith, the man who la regarded by Chief Zimmer aa the find of the season, tried It at first for the Zlmmerltea, but the pressure waa a little too great, nod he went out to give place to Allen, the Waycross recruit.

TRY A WANT AD IN THE GEORGIAN Olsen and Demetrial Will Meet Again For the Coin Demetrial, the Greek wrestler, and Olsen, the (Swede, who wrestled Wednesday nlfht, will meet again Thursday afternoon to de cide the ownership of the aide bet which waa posted on the result of Wednesday's go. The bout Wednesday night ended In a scene of wild disorder, which almost re sulted In the mobbing of the wrestlers. According to the conditions of the light, the strangle hold was hatred. In aplto of this, after abont fifteen mlnntea of fast going, and when the Greek seemed to be getting the worst of It, he pot a strangle hold In action. - v The refereo tapped him atft! ordered him to break It, bnt he paid no attantlon. In the meantime, Olsen was getting In dis tress, and the police took a hand. They descended on the men and tried to pull them apart It proved to be & trouble some Job, however, and while they were working, the crowd rose and started for the center of activity. After some strenuous doings, the men were separated, and the bout was awarded to Olsen. At the door there was a fierce attempt on the part of some of the spectators to get their mondy back, and for a while there were loud cries of "Fake!" This morning Demetrial filed a bill seek Ing to get back tho $2,200, which be nl leged that he put up on the fight In the meantime, Olsen went to the bank to get his coin, nnd found there a crowd of Greeks, who were determined to prevent him from doing so. A riot w,as avoided by a narrow margin, and things quieted down. Finally the man agera of the two wreatlera got together and agreed to have the thing wrestled Thurs day afternoon In private. KAVANAUGH IS COMING ON HIS ANNUAL VISIT William Kavantugh, president of the Southern League, will be In Atlanta next week. This Is the president's annual trip, and ha will spend a day or two bare. in the meantime he will bare a chance to think over the protest filed hy the Atlanta Baseball Association against allowing games to be transferred from Little Rock to New Orleans. This protest has been officially filed and In addition the local association baa wired to the presidents of the three other eastern dubs, Baugh, of Birmingham; McRweeney, of Naahrllle, and Amarine, of Montgom ery, asking them to Join In the protest. Kaufman Against O’Brien Will Be Next Big Match By Private Leased Wire. Philadelphia, July 11.—Al Kaufman Is dy ing for a chance to fight Sam Berger or Jack O'Brien. In a challenge today, this promising Californian says ha can whip cither, and do It handily. He *Im says they are afraid of him. 'Berg#g rf aald Kaufman, “I. In New York now, and by tomorrow he will be on the way to tho coast, and I hare no chance at either him or O’Brien. Both promised to meet me, but I gusto they hare‘changed their minds 'O'Brien beat me once. I was a green man then. It was my first professional bout. I bar* been boxing with Jeffries, and today I am 10O per cent batter. O'Brien knows this and be ban prepared for a long tour In tbe opposite direction. "I need to train With Berger, and no man on earth knows tbat I am hla hla master better than he knows ttys himself." O'Brien beard of Kaufman*, remark., and came back at him 'thus: "1 thought a. much. It Jnat happen tbat I am not going on, that Australian tour of mine right away, and If the Inducements are right, I will give Kaufman all the show he wants. He la abont aa good a boxer xa Berger, but he hlte a little stlffer.” Bob Deady. Kaufman's manager, la work Ing bard to get bla man a big match here. O'Brien's announcement that the date of hla trip to Australia tins l>eeo changed Is Uken to mean that a boot between them will bo the next big card. Just Some Notes Plucked From Our Contemporaries is According to The Atlanta Georgian, Smith haa already begun the making of excuses. He declare, that he will be up agalnat It good and atout In Au gust, as In that month ha has but seven games at home. Montgomery la In that fix, too, and this will practical ly remove from Birmingham two atout contenders. It looks then that Birming ham, New Orleans and Shreveport wilt continue In the land.—Birmingham Age-Herald. Billy did aay that August waa going to be a hard month, but he never Inti mated that he did not think he Would finish It with a -better standing than Birmingham. In aplte of tha fact that Frank has strengthened, both Birmingham and Atlanta should leave him In the rut on this trip. If they don't, then danger will be Imminent, aa Frank will back home with a good standing, a man up a tree it looks Ilka Frank haa decided to gat the rag In aplta of everything and ha will bend every ef fort toward this end.—Blrmlnghatn New*. From here It looks aa though Atlanta Is about the only team in the league which haa any chance of winning the jennant from Frank. It will probably m the Pelicans or the Crackers. 8ald Babb In Birmingham: “If Memphis, New Orleans or Shreve port haa a highly successful trip, either one will have a good chance at the rag. In other words. If these three western clubs play fortunate on this trip all the clubs now contending for the pennant will stand on an equal basis. "Aa It la at present, the eastern clubs near the top have the advantage of schedule, and If they don't make hay while the sun shines, they will be oust ed from the first position.” Atlanta haa certainly been right there on the hay proposition thus far. The Birmingham News la out for any other man than Judge Kavanaugb for league president. Hiwever, the Judge will get It That's a cinch. Sporting writers, and especially the younger members of that class, often fall Into the bad habit of criticising umpires too severely. In recent years at least no umpire In the South' haa' been charged with treachery, and it la hardly proved that anyone who haa officiated waa really Incompetent. The younger sporting *7 ,, ^ r V* enerally attribute the defeats of the home team to crooked umpiring. Tnls Is from the Montgomery Journal: "Pfqnnlnger's popularity In Montgom ery could easily be packed In a thimble, without danger of overloading. As a matter of fact. Judge Kavanaugh’s staff of umpires haa not given great satis faction this year. The addlUon of Campau, however, should help some.” It Is remembered that Rudderham waa at one time very unpopular In the Cap ital City, it Is remembered that he was charged with and arrested for the use of obscene language there.—Birm- —ham Age-Herald. Is cqrtalnly bad policy for the press to roast the umpires. Leave that to the losing team. It la expected of them. Meekx, the Barons’ new first base man, la another slugger of the Doug lass type, but la not as -fast on hla feet aa Klondyke Bill, He la awkward in going after hlgtr ones, low scoops and wide onea that are gathered In with M’GOVERN NOT IN AN ASYLUM By Private Leased Wire.
