Kavanaugh Will Entertain Protest on Game of July 21 The ||ime between Atlanta and Mem. phi* July 21 ha* not been protected, a* ha* been atated by aeveral paper* around the Southern League circuit, but It will be. Not being sure of hi* ground, President Joyner wrote President Kavanaugh and asked If a protest based on the happenings of that day would be considered. President Kavanaugh'* reply was that there was ground for a protest, and It will forth, with be made. This game. It will be remembered, was the one which was called early to let the Memphis player* catch a train back to the Bluff City, where they were Scheduled to play the following day. A* soon a* Memphis got In the lead In that game HurlburL Babb and some of the other members of the team belled their nickname of Hustlers by delaying the game th every poaslblo way. Umpire Campau did not do hi* duty In keeping the game going, and when It was finally called the Indignant fans surged on the field and threat- encd trouble. Some of the leas reapon- sible members of the crowd followed Campau clear to the train, but no harm was done to him. The protest which will be made will be based on the ground* that the urn- plre did not do hi* duty as set forth In rule 26, which says: "A forfeited game shall be declared by the umpire In favor of the club not In fault at the request of such club In the following cases: Sec. 6. If a team employ tactic* palpably designed to de lay the game." President Joyner will allege that Um pire Campau did not do hi* duty and that the game should have been for- felted. President Joyner will also show that the passenger agent of the road which the Memphis team was going to use came to the grounds and told Babb that the train was late and that there was plenty of time to play the game through. After'heating this, however. Babb Insisted that Smith stick to the original agreement. "I am not at all sure that the protest will bo sustained. 1 don't know. But, anyway, I wanted to show the people of Atlanta that I was not In sympathy with such doings.” Such was the state- ment of Chief Joyner. It may be that Charley Frank I* not the smartest manager In the Southern League, but he certainly knows more things than he tells about. Look at the attendance figures of the last Atlanta series. Four thousand four hundred paid admissions at the first game, and that on a Thursday; 2,600 the next day and well on toward 6,000 Saturday when rain fell nnd caused the Issuing of the largest bunch of rain check* of the season. And all this crowd turned out, not because the Pelicans wero playing ball, but because for two months steadily the Atlanta papers have been roasting Charley Frank and calling him every thing from a murderer, liar and robber on up. "Managing a baseball team,” said Charley Frank In speaking of the hap penings, "doe* not consist In spending a lot of money In high-priced players. To keep from dying of dry rot a man must keep hi* name before the pub lic. And 1 guess that's where. I keep mine,” added that Dutchman with a chuckle. Glidden Tourists Take Part In Strenuous Hill - Climb By Private Lenaed Wire. Brctton Wood*, July 30.—Intcreat her# to day centers In the open hill climbing con test In Crawford Notch, for which thirty- three machines have l»een entered. The thirteen cars that finished here In the competition for the Glidden touring trophy with perfect scores will receive equal credit nnd Charles Glidden will pre sent the entrants with the silver medals. Under the deed of gift requiring that the trophy shall remain In the possession of the holding club until won by the repre sentative of some other club, the Buffalo Automobile Club will retain the custody of the cup. Percy Pierce, who won the trophy last year for the Buffalo dub, Is on the clcau slate in this contest. The announcement of the disposition of the prises was made after a meeting of the tour committee bad been held. Several protests and requests for rebates on lost points were thrown out. Many of the tourists left this place today for their homes. Ths opinion la widely expressed that the contest for the Glidden trophy will never bs an absolutely satisfactory one until the basis of award Is changed. Either It should bs made a manufacturers’ contest or an •rent of amateurs In ths sense that they own the cars they drive, make their own entries and do not carry chauffeurs or me chanics supplied by the factories P. B. Flynn, of Pittsburg, who drove • Pierce car and carried his wife and slater with him, was the only amateur making a perfect score for the Glidden trophy. ROY8TON WINS TWO. Special to The Georgian. lloyston, Gn., July 30.—Royston defeat ed r*a?onla In two successive games of ball here Thursday and Friday. The first wns won by a score of 12 to 2. The fea tures wore the heavy hitting of Bagwell, I.nndrntn nnd Htoach, for Royston, nud the excellent pitching of Frank Ander son .

FINN AND HIS FAITHFUL FOLLOWERS READY FOR FOUR GAMES AT PIEDMONT It la always a pleaaur# to chronicle the arrival of Mike Finn and hla truaty fol lowers. They pulled out of the biggest thing In middle Tennessee Sunday night, and are even now holding forth at the Ara- The Nashville team la alwaya aura of a welcome lu any town where gamea arc needed. Back In their own burg, they go to the park ala daya a week and play one game each day, Just to keep the franchise from expiring. f)n the road, they play be cause they need the money. ' With the right kind of luck, Atlanta should wlu. at least, four out of four with the Flnnles. A double-header is on the hills for Tuesday, and single games will be on tap Monday and Wednesday. Then the Crackers hit the road for a trip through the Alabama end of the Eastern circuit, tackling Montgomery first, nnd then Birmingham. The game Saturday did not develop into much. With things looking bright for At lanta, a moat terrific rnlustorm lauded on Piedmont park, n#>d baseball Immediately became out of the question. After thirty minutes, the gnrae wns declared off nnd the big crowd streamed out Into the mud and rain, and a wild scramble began for the ears. Tho supply was far from adequate, and wet wearing nppnrel was all tho go among the faithful. Tom Hughes was to get $100 from some of his admirers, so rumor has It, provided he pitched on ^Saturday and won. Hard luck that rain knocked Tom out of that bunch of excess salary. Mike Finn Is much tickled over the fact that he landed Elmer Duggan right out from under Billy Smith’s nose. It seems that Mike Finn was so anxious for the man that he went right to . Dayton to find out if the Dayton club bad a good claim to him, and In that way he waa able to close the deal right on the spot. I did not know but, what Billy had him landed all right,” said Mike, “until El mer wrote his brother John that he bad been awarded to Dayton. When I heard this. Just on general principles, I wired to Dayton for terms. The, terms they ask ed were a little high for a new ninn, but I went up there to look the thing up. Atlautn hax no claim to the man, for he Itclonged to Dayton all right, aud now he. belongs to me.’’ First Baseman Beck, who has been with the Nashville club for some time back, has been turned orer to the New Orleans club, to whom he belongs. Reck lost his batting eye while with the Nashville team, and had to be turned loose. Frank has been notified that the player Is adrift, but he has not onuonneed what he will do about It It seems natural to see onr old friends, “tnisty” Miller, bock In tho Southern Lfaguo. After a strenuous time In the Cot ton States as a manager, “Dusty” has come hack to the Southern, and will finish out the season with Nashville. Where, O where Is Chick Cargo? Chick brought his wife from New Or- lenns to Atlanta, closed a deal with the York team, In the outlaw league, and an nounced that be was going to leave last Saturday night. Mike Finn says that Cargo has gone to York. Bll|g Smith says he has gone back fo New Orleans. Manager Frank has been wired, bat not heard from as yet In the meantime, it is repeated with no diminution of emphasis that the reason Car go wished to leave the league wns his fear of riding on trains at night. Cargo may be ashamed of his weakness along this line, nnd may have denied It, but It Is a well-known fact among his team mates, and la vouched for by Charley Frank. A double-header will be on the bills for Tuesday afternoon. The first game will be called at 2:30. The usual double-header crowd maj.be expected. “Dummy” Curtis Is In Atlanta for Mon day’s game. Acordlng to those who have talked with him, this Is Just a pleasure trip for the “dummy.” TWO WRESTLING MATCHES AT PIEDMONT COLISEUM “They’re off” in the wrestling matches Monday night at the Piedmont Park Coliseum. (Note—This Is the building at the end of the Peachtree-Piedmont I*ark car line nnd net the Peachtree auditorium, na has been published.) The main bout will be the postponed af fair lietween Olseu. of Asheville, N, C., aud Demotrlnl, of Greece. The Inst time the men met the strangle hold waa barred and as Pemetrinl used one the decision wan given to Olson. Claiming thnt the bout but not .the match should have gone to the Swede, the affair wns protested by th# men who had l»et on the Greek. The whole thing will he wrestled over again Monday night. George Baptiste baa l>een brought from St. Louis to net ns ref eree nnd has promised to give the public a square drill. As n special feature Glllmore and Chris tensen have been mntched to wrestle for n purse of $250. Christensen arrived from Macon thla morning and Is presumably MARTIN J. SHERIDAN NOW CHAMPION GOAT CATCHER By Privnte Lea set! Wire. New* York, July 30.—Patrolman Martin J. Sheridan, all round athletic champion of the world who gathered laurels at the Olym pic games, yesterday became the champion goat catcher of the country. He waa sent Arthur avenue and 187th street, where Gnlseppe Serauo’a garden was being de stroyed by the animals. Hhcrblnn chased and caught tire goats and flung them Into a wagon driven by Pound Keeper Weigel., The goats chifed at the confinement, nnd jumped over the tail- board nnd side*. Weigel and Sheridan leap ed to the streets and the merry chase went on again.' Roundsman McDermott, a volunteer, was hutted In the solar plexhs and went down like a log. Filial with auger, be resumed the pursuit, and when he got n goat pre sented It with a few wallops In the visage. An hour later three of the goats had been recaptured nnd Gnlaepi»e’s garden grew agatu and waxed strong. 0000000000x1040000000000000 O 0 O WHERE THEY PLAY TODAY. O o o O Nashville In Atlanta.

RAIN SPOILS LEAGUE GAMES Among the many eportlng event* which were knocked In the. head by the rain Saturday afternoon were the three Commercial League team*. Not one was under full headway before the heaven* broke Joo»e and all three have been postponed and will be played later. No date for playing these gamea ha* been decided on, but It I* likely that they will be worked oft as double- headers. The game* scheduled for Saturday are: Beck & Gregg v*. Regenateln. J. Sllvey v». West End. M. Kut* vs. Foote A Davie*. The J. Sllvey-Weat End game ought to be a particularly good one, and the other two will undoubtedly be worth seeing. Rain Stops Team Match On Piedmont Park Course The team match which was to have been played Saturday afternoon between Til- son’s team and Byrd’s team was stopped by the rain. AH the contestants were on the course when the shower hit the local ity, and those who did not find immediate shelter were thoroughly drenched. Three pairs finished out the first round, nfter the rain let np a bit, but when they reached the club house the match wns de clared off. When the postponement wns decided on Byrd's team was slightly In the lead. The players finished up the afternoon with an Impromptu driving match from the first tee. F. G. Byrd proved the star at this department of the game, though all the players sent out some sensational drives. The short course which has been opened at East Lake by the Atlanta Athletic Club has Jumped Into Immediate popularity. While the players are not allowed to use the regular greena as yet and although the course is fsr from being In Its best condi tion, a number of players have been out trying the course sod all seem pleased with It. The nine hole golf course at Memphis Is being made into an eighteen hole affair. Tom Bendlow, who laid out the first nine, is putting In the second. The new course will be 6,100 yards long and will rank-among the best In the South. Mr. Bendlow Is also planning to lay out a putting course for the Memphis club which can be used at night and wbleh will be lighted by electric .lights. The Western Qolf Association is doing much this year to interest tho Junior golf ers—those under 18 years of age. Inter- cluli matches, open only to boys under 18, and special tournaments with the same age limit in effect are being run off. It Is realised by tho W. G. A. that the time for anyone to learn golf Is when they are young and that to develop good players In the West tho players must be started young, at a time when n good swing Is easily and naturally acquired. Tho golf committee of the Atlanta Ath letic Club might do well to notice the ac tion of the organisation of which the local club will no doubt some day be an active member. h League Standings Club— Birmingham .

The suspension wa* ordered at the sugges tion of Umpire Pfennlnger, with whom Captain Castro had 'some word* last week during a game with Little Rock. The wielder of the Indicator Informed President Kavanaugh that the Nash ville player on that occasion used lan guage which would not look well In print, and recommended as suitable punishment that he be prohibited from playing for a period of three days. Upon the receipt of the letter President McSweeney wired the league president that Castro was badly needed and asked that the suspension order be re voked. The president was obdurate, however, and replied that the good of the game In Nashville required that the Veneiuelan take a few day* off.
