Every time It looks am though Atlanta

that It la hard to get within talking dfa

Birmingham's lead is decidedly wobbly.
Just now the Baroha are running true

Billy Smith Is Suspended;
Shuster May Have Jumped
The Atlanta players left Wednesday
night for Montgomery, where they play
Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
With them went Billy Smith, bnt Wil
liam la under suspension. Just before tbe
second game Wednesday, Umpire Buckley
received notice from league headquarters
that Smith was Indefinitely suspended, and
ordering him to keep tbe Atlanta manager
off tbe grounds.
As soon as Billy Smith was notified h«
put »u his cltlsens clothes, and when the
second game began toe disappeared.
Smith waa suspended because of bis at
tempted assault on Umpire Shuster. It Is
stated that Shuster notified .President Kar
naugh that Smith actually hit him. It Is
well known by all who saw the Incident
that Smith did not actually hit ths tubby
tiuips, and If Shuster made such a charge
he was In error, to put It mlldljr.
Thursday morning, nt tbe request of ths
bate!*!! association, the sporting. editors |
of ths local papers joined ln a telegram
to President Kavanaugh stating that they
saw the Incident, and that Smith did not
bit Shnster.
It Is doubtful If the suspension of tbs |
Atlanta manager will extend over a long
period of time. There was, of course, no
Justification for Smith's attempted assault j
on Shnster, and there Is no doubt but that
such an assault was Intended. But tbs |
fact remains that Shuster w/is not bit by .
Smith, ami, In consequence, the local man*
ager'a punishment will undoubtedly be com
paratively light.
It Is supposed that Shuster Jumped ths ;
Job from here. As far aa can be learn
ed, be did not leave for Montgomery, as
was ordered to, and It will not l# |
surprising If he “turned up mining.”
Well, small loss!
