Yes, we'll all lie there. It would not lie • surprising If attendance records were bro* j ken. For the whole bunch will be on baud ito see the fun. . Presumably there will lie nothing but n j fast game of ball. Atlanta fans ns it rule Jfoahave themselves, the unfortunate "Cntn- *p«u Incident'’ to the contrary notwlth- [Standing, and tbe police will be on hnnd . to see that nothing Is dono which anyone ! will hare cause to regret. However, on the off chance that some thing may lie stirring the “old guard," the •*tenth legion," the Inte lamented "six hun dred" and all the reit will be there to aee what actually happens. A good game of ball Is a certainty. What else there may be nobody knows. But from the wny the two teams hate each other It can be depended on that lioth will extend themselves to the utmost to win. It Is Chubby (.'hurley against Skinny Smith, and may the best team win. Locally everybody Is too busy getting ready for Charley Frank to think about much of anything else. The militia has been notified to lie prepared for the worst, etxm deputies are being sworn In by the sheriff, the police force will tarn out In n body for the game. Everything possible will lie done to keep the peace. In the midst of all this preparation little Elmer IMiggun has slipped away and sailed for Dayton. Hilly Smith tried to save him from such a fate, but It was no use. It Is too bad that Elmer had to go. He wos n sociable cuss, used to come Into the press (mix and alt there na quiet ns a mouse. Always bad a good word for every body and was cheerful, whatever happened. Also he was n good hitcher and was evidently Just the left-hander that Atlanta needed. How ever, It couldn't be. Ho let It go nt that. TWO TEAMS ARE SELECTED FOR SATURDAY’S MATCH The two teams named below have been •elected to oppose etch other In tbo match at the Piedmont Golf Club course Satur day afternoon. The teams and tbe ar rangements of players are only provisional, ifor some changes will no doubt be neces- ;eary, but the following list about covers the two teams, and the manner lu which they will play: BYRD'S TEAM*— vs Byrd • tangxton s Moore re Whiting • F.

'Bennett , . .vs King jkllsa Kitten vs Miss Brown ‘John Kitten vs McDougald The conditions of the tourunment are: tTfn ball entry fee, all the ball# to go fto the winning team, sad to he divided among tbe winning members of this tenm. |(In consequence, the losing members of !the winning team will get no part In the .•polls). The tournament Is stated to start i*t or after S p. in., and the players are expected to notify the persons'against ■ whom they are slated to play, and arrange <m a time for starting. Each match will ( roont a single point In the team score, lu tbe remotely possible rasa of n tie, the •tabes will be doubled, and the match will be played over on the following Satur day. * According to the opinions of the dope ar tists, the two teams are very evenly match ed, and a good contest seems certain. Just Bt preseut, Tllsou s tenm Is one man short, but other players will 1h» located later on. Any tuemltcra of the club who would like to get In the match can do so by notifying either F. U. Byrd or W. J. Tilsou. After long delay and many disappoint ments, It Is at Inst positively announced l*y the greens committee of the Atlanta Athletic Club that five or six provisional putting greem will be provided on the East take course, and these Are or six holes will be thrown open for play Friday aftornoon. It Is with hesitation and considerable rs- gtet that the committee takes this action.' They realise that the course la not yet Id condition for play, and that most of those who go out will be disappointed with'what Is offered. They wish It understood quite positively that the coqrse Is not yet lu any condition for play, and thnt the only reason that tho action was taken was because many players were using the course. In spite of its unprepared condition, am! were playing where It was doing harm, in order to lim it their activity to the parts of the course where the playing will do no harm, tho boles are being placed. The committee aska that the plnyws who use the new eourse exercise every csre. Turf cut or displaced by a stroke should nt once be replaced. In order that the course may not Im» disfigured. No'club but a put ter should be used tin any green, and any ball which goes on n putting green not be ing played for should be picked up and placed at some point not nearer the hole toward which the player la going. By the expenditure of a little ordinary care, the use of tho new coarse will do It more good than harm, but If n lot of duffers are turned loose on It and they proceed to back It to pieces. It will not be long be fore the course will look ss though a troop of cavalry had plowed through the fair green. The opening of the new course at East take Is going to add n number of new golfers to the local array. Already the dealers In ehths report n brisk trade among the men win* belong to the Athletic Club, but not the golf club, and probably fifty players will l>o developed by tbe clinuge lu courses.

NO. 3— JAMES FOX. Trying To Be Cheerful, Despite the Defeat Oh, very well. That wasn’t the only game we play this year. What Is one among bo many? Borne of Jnly la left, all of August and half of September. If things will break right Atlanta will win the pennant yet. Shreveport has had her hard luck, too. Take little Byrne. IDs ankle Is badly sprained and Wednesday morning It was put In a plaster cast. It will be three weeks or a month before he will be able to play. And In the meantime Shreveport loses the use of one of the faatost, gamost Utile In- fielders In tho Jsggue. Toor Bobby Gllka—his luck Is ns bad ns Lnjole's.

SALES, THE CRACK SHOT OF NORTH CAROLINA, IN A GOOD MATCH. Rather the moat Interesting trap shooting iiiatrh which hns been decided lu Atlanta In a long time was that on Sunday between Barney Worthen, of Atlanta, and J. 8. Sides, of Monroe, N, C. The local man wou by n score of 93 to 87. J. 8. Scales Is one of the tast trap shoot ers In North Carolina, and has numberless matches to bis credit, but he did not prove to be In the same class with the local man, who started out with a lend and held It to the very end. Owing to adverse weather conditions, the scores are not as high as either man Is ac customed to make, but they were first- class for nil thnt. Mr. Worthen Is n trap shooter of unusual experience am! lie hns never met hit defeat In a twoman match since be hns been •booting. The match Friday was shot over the At lanta Athletic Club's traps aud was wit nessed by a large crowd. ATLANTA GEORQIAN8 WIN SPEEDY GAME The Atlanta Georgians 'defen ted the Jack- son 8treot Stars Tuesday morning by the score of 6 to 3.

Now we will know pretty soon where we nro at While Byrne of (he Shreveport team Is on tho hospital list Shermoft Kennedy will go to shortstop nnd Powell, tho catcher, will play lu Kennedy's place In tbe field. Wallace made a beautiful catch In the sixth of the long fly from Hickman's bnt. (Yes. gentle rentier, you read nrlght—from Hickman's bat. The human mosquito does not look as though he could get tbe ball down as far an the pitchers' tax, but he soaked out a corker Tuesday.) If Wallace would only stand up to tlfe bnt nnd slug the ball hfc would have a double dneb on thnt place. nuokloy may be abusive anti profane In the field, but the obliging nnd gentlomunly manner In which ho announces to the fans and to the occupants of the press box any changes In the line-ups ot tbe teams Is duly appreciated. The Shreveport players are still sore nt Buckley because they charge bo used abu sive language to Fisher. • "If It had been anybody else but Fisher It would not have been so bad," said Harry Khrllch, the secretary, "but no more gen- 'tlemunly player hns ever been In the South ern League than Fisher, nnd he resented what Buckley said more thnn any of tho rest of the tenm would. He was so sore about It that the tears ran down his face iter the thing was over. And 1 think President Kavunaugh*wlll take some action on it when he gets Fisher’s letter." Umpire Buckley called Sid Smith out In the first Inning because, after he had hit a high foul, be threw his bnt over Rapp's bead ns thnt worthy was trying to catch the ball. Rapp missed the hall, but Buckley called Smith out, which was strictly ac cording to rules. They Scored More Runs Than We Did, That’s All” SHREVEPORT 5, ATLANTA 2. The hunch thnt Atlanta was going to win six straights, which many Atlanta fans hail, went all to the bad Tuesday afternoon nt Piedmont park, when the Pirates from Gllksvlllc won by a score of 6 to 2. Little Baxteg Sparks did his "durndest" —and It has been said that angels could do no more—but It was not quite good enough. Ho pitched his head all but off and worked to the bitter end, but ho had a real bad Inning In tbe third and lost the game rlglrt there. An error by Dick Croxler added to the completeness of the slaughter In the 1 inning. Kennedy, the first man up, lilt tbe ball and Byrne followed with a strlke-otit. Then Ahsteln got In the wny of a ball nnd Daley was passed, so the bases were filled. Then came King’s grounder down toward Sid Smith. Hid made a grab for It, but It wns too hot to handle, and It passed on to Crosier. Dick picked It up, but threw’ wild and all three men scored on the bit and the error. Shreveport made one run previous to this flurry undone afterwards, nnd altogether ran away from the Crackers, who scored only twice, once In the second nnd once In the sixth. It was Just another case of being up against It. The Atlanta men put up pretty average good ball, the kind which wins ns a rule. But they were playing n team which Is likely to cause trouble for nny aggregation which ever played ball. Hickman, the human-shadow, wns right In form. IIow he picked up the ball, which certainly weighed more thnn he did, nnd threw It oyer tbe plate wns a mvitery but he certainly did It, with plenty 0 f ■team and deceptive curves.
