Pelicans Coming Thursday,
Then Look Out For Squalls
The Pelicans will lie here Thursday.
The reported users of rulilier balls, the
alleged splkers of players, the supposed to
.be performers on steel plates, the so-called
.dictators of the league, and the presume-
|ble exceeds™ of the salary limit will march
the Piedmont diamond Thursday after-
j Boon and theu there will lie doings.
Yes, we’ll all lie there. It would not lie
• surprising If attendance records were bro-
iken. For the whole bunch will be ou hand
• to see the fun.
Presumably there will lie nothing but a
I fast game of ball. Atlanta fans as a rule
• behave the mm-Wet, the unfortunate "Cam-
‘ pnu Incident" to the contrary notwith
standing. and the police will be ou hand
■ to tee 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 late lamented "six hun
dred" and all the rest will be there to see
what actually happens.
A good game of ball Is a certainty. What
else there may lie noliody knows. Put from
the way the two teams hate each other It
can be deluded on that lioth will extend
themselves to the Utmost to win.
It Is Chubby Charley against Skinny
Smith, and may the liest team win.
Locally everybody la too busy getting
ready for Charley Frank to think about
much of anything else. The militia has
lieen notified to bo prepared for the worst,
ctxrn deputies ore being sworn In by the
sheriff, the police force, will turn out In n
body for tho game. Everything possible
will be done to keep the jiesce.
In the midst of all this preparation little
Elmer Duggan has slipped awny and sailed
for Dayton. Hilly Smith tried to save hint
from such n fate, but It waa no uae.
It la too laid that Elmer had to go. He
was a sociable cuss, used to come Into the
press box and sit there ns quiet ns a mouse.

'the winning team will get no part In the

, count s single point In the team score, lu
the remotely possible case of a tie, the
•takes will U» doubled, and the match
! will lie played over on the following Satur*
day.
« ng to the opinions of the dope nr*
‘
i two teams are very erenly match-
ad, and a good contest seems certain. Just
at present, Tlloou's tenm Is one man short,
but other players will be located Inter on.
Any tnemlters of the club who would like
to get In the match can do so by notifying
either F. G. Byrd or W. J. Tllson.
putting greens will be provided on the East
Lake course, and these flvs or six holes will
be thrown open for play Friday afternoon.
It la with hesitation and considerable re
grot that the committee takes this notion.
They reallxo that the conrae Is not yet In
condition for play, and that most of those
who go out will be disappointed with what
|s offered.
They w|sh It understood quite positively
that the couree Is not yet In any condition
for play, nnd that the only reaeon that
tho action wee taken waa becauee many
player* were using the course, In spite of
Its unprepared condition, and 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 nd harm, the
holes art* being placed.
The committee asks that the players who
Use the new course exercise every care.
Turf cut or displaced by a stroke should
at once be replaced. In order that the course
may not tie disfigured. No club but a put
ter should l>e used on any green, and any
(•all which goes on s putting green not be
ing played for should be picked up and
placed at some |M>lut not nearer the hole
toward which the player Is going. Hy
the expenditure of a little ordinary care,
the use of the new course will do It more
good than harm, but If a lot of duffers
nre turned loose on It and they proceed to
hock It to plecea. It will not be long bo-
fore the course will look as though s troop
of cavalry had plowed through the fair
green.

Trying To Be Cheerful, Despite the,Defeat
Oh, very well. That wasn’t the only game
we play thla year.
What la one among ao many?
Some of July fa left, all of August and
half of September. If things will break
right Atlanta will win the pennant yet.
Don't he a gloomster. Cheer up. Mnybe
Atlanta will win the next ten straight.

Poor Bobby Gllka—hla luck Is na bad ns

President Karannugh hns announced that
he will call a meeting of the Southern

against Charley Frank.
Good for the* Judge. Now we will know
pretty aoop where we are at
While Byrne of the Shreveport tenm la on

to short stop nnd Powell, the catcher, will

Wallace made a beautiful catch In th#
sixth of the long fly from Hickman's bat.
(Yea, gentle render, you rend orlght-^from
Hickman's bnt. The human mosquito does
not look as though he could get the ball
down ns far ns tho pitchers' box, but bu
soaked out n corker Tuesday.)
If Wallace would only stand up to the
Imt and -slug tho ball he would have a
double cinch on that place.
Buekley may Im abusive and profane In

manner In whleb he announces to the fans

appreciated.

GOOD REFEREE
IS PROMISED
Manager rhnrlson, the press agent of
Demetrlal, the Greek who did some pretty
keen strangling In hla match with Olsen
July 18, dropped In the office Wednesday
to remark again that t..e match next Mon
day night Is the goods, strictly on the square
ami that the referee will l»e brought from
Chicago nnd will lie the prorks.
Manager Charlson say* tlint If tho ref
eree of tin* other match had been "onto
hla Job" the affair would*not have ended
In the rums which marked Its closing
moments, lie says the first throw should
have been awarded to the Swede and that
the match should have been allowed to
continue.
He promises, however, that he will have
iiv imwri rr. uini »i«- **»u unvt-
a referee Moudity who knows his business
both ways from the .Police Gnxette, and
that then* will lie no more Assies.

"UMPIRE,” NOT "IMPURE.”
Through a regrettable typo
graphical error In Monday’s At
lanta Georgian the umpire was
called the "Impure.”
Thin is a mistake. At one time
or another In our vituperative
career we have called umpires
thieves, murderers, .second-story
men. dips, cut-throats, crooks,
thi'gs, cannibals, confidence men,
loUner*, Jail >lrd», grave rob
bers, short-arm men, pickles and
mute, but n • **r before have we
referred to any of them aa "Im

FARMER BURNS
TO TRY OLSEN
ASHEVILLE MAN MATCHED TO
MEET FAMOUS MIDDLEWEIGHT
FOR A BIG BET.
Special to The Georgian.
Asheville, N. C., July 25.—Articles of
agreement have lw*en signed between Chas.
Olsen, of this city, nnd "Farmer" Martin
Burns, the world-renowned middleweight
wrestler, for a ratch-ns-catch-can bout to
take place In Asheville August 6. The con
test Is-for a side bet of $1,000, with the
privilege of adding $1,600, aud will doubt
less 1* the bitterest fight ever waged on a
mat lu North Carolina.
Burns and Olsen wrestled In Asheville In
May for the middleweight championship,
nnd the Asheville man threw the Iowa
farmer the two last falls In three, getting
the wind of the old man and handling him
with but little trouble.
The "Farmer" then challenged Olsen for
s match for $1,000 for a future date, and left
SHREVEPORT 5, ATLANTA 2.
The hunch that Atlanta was going to win
■lx straights, which many Atlanta fans hail,
went all to the bad Tuesday afternoon at
Fledmout park,' when the Pirates from
Gtlksvllle won a score of 5 to 2.
Littlo Baxter Sparks did Ills "durndest"
—and It hns been said thnt<nngels could do
no more—but It was not quite good enough.
He pitched his head all but off and worked
to the bitter end, but he had a real bad
Inning In tho third and lost the game right
there.
An error by Dick Crosier .added to the
completeness of the slaughter In the i
Inning. Kennedy, the first man up, hit the
ball and Byrne followed with a strike out.
Then Absteln got In the wsy of a ball nnd
Daley wan passed, so the bases were filled.
Then came King's grounder down toward
Sbl Smith. Sid made a grab for It, but It
was too hot to handle, and It passed on to
Crosier. Dick picked It up, but threw
wild and all tllres men scored on the hit
and the error.
Shreveport made one. run previous to thin
flurry nnd one afterwards, and altogether
ran awny 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 as
rule. But they were playing a team
which Is likely to cause trouble for any
aggregation which ever played ball.
Hickman, the human shadow, was right
In form. How he picked up the ball, which
c*rtalnly weighed more than be did, nnd
