News and Georgian Teams
Will Meet in Ball Game
Whnt threatens to lie among the most
sultry and worst played games of base
ball ever seen In the classic shades of
the piedmont board .feuce Is that which
Is scheduled to take place Tuesday after-
noon between the trams representing The
Atlanta Georgian and The Atlanta News.
Several days ago, o challenge was hurled
In the very teeth of The News crowd-
breaking several teeth—end now It lias
come liock, slightly damaged, but still lu
good working order.
Tho terms hare been agreed to—176
pounds ringside, Marquis of Hpaldlng's
rules, strangle hold, biting, gouging and
profanity barred, medal play against Im-
gey, deuce and advantage! sets, standing
start, no recall flag, game to be ended at
9.15 p. m.. whether It 1« flftjsbed or nob
winner takes all.
The management of The Georgian made
a ten strike Monday morning by algnlng
Jake Harris for the remainder of the 'sea
son. The management of The Newa
team clsltna that Harris waa on their re
serve list, and the quitter may go to the
national board or The Hague tribunal.
Walter Taylor, of The Journal, baa “kind-
ly consented" to act aa umpire, and. play
ers striking, hitting, mauling, scratch
ing or biting him do so at their own
peril, and will probably get themselves
talked al»ont. Jim Fox has also consent
ed to take on part of the duties of urn
plre, and feels that bis crippled condition
guarantees him against anything but
vcrlail attack.
The conditions of the game require that
the team* bo recruited from among the
employees of the papers, and any other
players butting Into the game are liable to
leave by the tar and feather roots.
With the firm conviction and hope that
nobody but the contesting teams will l»e
present, a cordial Invitation Is extended
to the public to come *out and
fun. All that Is asked la that you bring
along a few mitts, gloves, balls, etc., for
the*use of tbs ‘'tenderfoots.”

Atlanta Is Sick of It
and Wants to
Change.
Thu Atlanta Baseball Annotation la ripe
>r n revolt from the Houthem League,
and for a tmnafer of allegiance to tho
Houth Atlantic.
If Atlanta made *urh a move. It I* be
lieved that the Birmingham Baseball Asso
ciation might ho Induced to get In line.
With Atlnntn and Birmingham added on
to the present Houth Atlantic League, It
would liecome one of the lieat paring and
moat compact of minor league*.
Lowry Arnold, a prominent member of
the local baseball association, and a man
who has been often mentioned to succeed
William Kavanaugh as president of tho
Houthem Association of Banelmll Club*,
said: ”1 hope tome day to nee Atlanta and
Birmingham memhera of the Bouth Atlantic
League.”
When naked for an opinion. President
Joyner, of the local association, said: "I
would welcome the change. I am tired of
the domination of Charley Frank, and of
the rough deni we are getting from Presi
dent Kavnnnugh. Birmingham Is heart ami
soul with us In this proposition.”
Whether the local association really In
tends to take any action along this line I*
not known. It Is certain, however, that
Birmingham hna tireu sounded on the
proposition, and that the Atlnntn Associa
tion Is driven to denperntlon by what It
considers the unjust discriminations of
President Kavnnaugb against Atlanta and
In favor of Charley Frank and New Or
leans.
Undoubtedly, the proposed league would
make a good one. In population, It would
only he a little more than half the also
of the present Houthem league, but whnt
It larked In population. It would make up
In compactness, and In the shortness of the
jumps- tietween the cities- composing It.
A comparison of imputation of the present
Houtheru longue ami the Houth Atlantic
with the proposed chnnges-census of 1900-*
follows:

If the attendance figures. Instead of the
population, were used, the balance would
tie more In favor of the proposed “en
larged” Houth Atlanta. Birmingham,
for example, which ranks fifth lu imp
utation In either league, threatens to lend
the Houtheru this year In attendance, and
Atlnntn. which Is third In the Houthem In
population, will anrely be either second or
third. .
On the proposition of compactness,
new longue would be Unrd to tieat, Four
cities lu the league would he lu the state
of Georgia. The other four are within
easy striking dUtnnce of this state.
In fact. It U likely that the league
would not hnvo to pay to the railroads
more than half as much ns the Houthem
now pays. As the league would have no
"Hunday towns,** there would not need to
he any long Jumps for Hunday games, and
the attendance would be steadier through
the week,
Ixiwry Arnold, while not. perhaps,
thus!*stir over the proposed new league,
la yet thoroughly disgusted with the pres
ent arrangement.

Hamilton, of The New Orleans Item, does
not think much of Billy Smith. Here arc
some of the things he charges against
the Atlanta manager:
That he hna trim! to run lb* league,
Thit ho'la alleged to, have tried to box
Shuster'» ears.
That ho has failed as n manager.
That he It a hush leaguer.
That his tactics have dons the league an
Injury.
That he has tried to ran other managers
out of the league.
That hf wn* once regarded aa a "pretty
clever sort of a chap.”
That nobody expected much of Atlanta
with Smith at the holm.
That he baa apeut more than the other
managers
That lie has disregarded the league
rules. ^
That he tried to employ nineteen men
in spite of the fourteen-man role.
That be hna violated the salary limit.
That ho refused to help the flubs which
needed player*.
Now, with papers Jn New Orleans pub
lishing such a combination «*f falsehood
and rot Is It any wonder that smith and
the Atlanta team can not get a square
deal In the Crescent City?
The Birmingham Ledger hands a hot one
4o Kavanaugh because of the suspension
of Smith. It says. In part:
Isn't there a wonderful difference In
Smith protesting au unjust decision and
Breltensteln fighting and curslug before
ladles? Well, l should say. Ono man is
Billy Smith, the Atlanta mogul. The
other Is a hired man of Charles Frank.
One man only a»fced for his rights and
the Justice that should lie accorded him.
The other man deegraeed a Southern halt
field tad cursed In the presence of 3,000
peopfe.
The Ledger Intimated some, time ago
that If Kavnnaugb was given hatter
enough he would break his own neck.
The prophecj Is (icing fulfilled. It Is
more than probable that the Eastern
magnates, at least, will get together wbeu
the next meeting comes and resent the
set Ion of the president. The league mag
nates nre beginning to have the wool , re
moved from their eye*. They hove been
looking up to Kavanaugh as a little wood
en gnd. Now they are seeing different.
It behooves the Atlanta management to
Ifiunchcd to get n new man In. Lowry
Arnold is the liest man. The fans In Bir

auy action. It la a cinch that Atlanta
will not remain quiet while she Is being

Atlanta out of the race.
"This glaring injustice should not tile

time. Will the Atlautn people selic It?
It remains to lie seen.
They are‘sue!ling Otto's name “Jurduu"

The New Orleans papers, with their usual

effect that Smith “assaulted” Shuster.

by Prerident Kavanaugh, and Kavanaugh ts

I do not understand. Worst of all, Frank
seems to hnve Nashville In line, and so
we nre hnpelesaluy outvoted.
“Look nt this rubber ball ‘investigation.'
It was Impossible for us to take It up nt

should have been satisfactory. The obvious

Kavanaugh ordered us to .go to New Or

That Memphis trln I, Joins a mountain

Sunday's games put the Burglars ahead
of New Orleans, and Babb nnd bis bunch
are now In third place.
What Charley Frank will *ny to Babb
for his nerve In actually passing hi* pet
ted I’ellcnns In the race Is hard to tell,
but doubtless It will be something warm.
Atlanta still has fourth place darted, nnd
the Crackers are only .009 behind New
Orleans. If the Atlanta team will only
do ns well aa usual against Birmingham,
nnd then take the same kind of a fall out
of Nashville that everybody always takes,
the rhances for going up are more than
bright.

team, however. It Is likely to be a diffi

Up to Monday's game. Birmingham has
had the better of It with Atlanta. Of the

By Private Leased Wire.-
Halt Lake, Utah. Aug. 6.—There ftr* t*
prospects that the Gans-Nelson fight will Is
pulled off In Rnn Francisco according t«
Bnttllng Nelson. Ho returned to bla hotel
this morning, and declared that be did vi
know the whereabouts of Hlly Noinn, hi
manager. He said Nolan was still la tk
city, and would meet Eddie Granej
time today.
"Goldfiald has dealt squarely, with ui, i&4
lu spite of the big purse offered by 8«en-
mento, $42,000, we aro compelled to pull thf
match off at Goldfield," said Nelson.
“Nolan has charge of things, and I aa
confident that he will not change bla pres
ent plans. Grnney will arrive some time
today, and Nolan will meet him. The?
111 probably meet In Ogden. Goldfield hu
granted every courtesy ws have asked. as4
I hnve no reason to believe be will dcvlatt
one jot from hi* plans.”

of Atlanta, th*« middleweight rihunploa ri
the South, gnvo a four round exhibition

For three rounds, the men Imxcd fast,
nnd lu the closing seconds of the final
round Maher put over a lucky left *tah
which caught Foy squarely on the pots*
and brought him to bis knees.
At this Instant, the gong sounded, which,
perhaps, saved Foy from a knock-out.
