™TijWPM 1 I I HI !■»* THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN. TUESDAY. AUGUST 7, 1906. — CRACKERS GET BUSY AGAIN EDITED BY PERCY H. WHITING AFTER A DAY OF NEEDED REST Busy Times in Birmingham, Then on Again to Nashville With the cheerful proepeet of four game* to two days. the Atlanta team if begin ning to think of getting back to home ground*. Wednesday night, the huneb will pack up and' leave the City of 8moke for Nashville. And then, after three day* of play, they will head again for Piedmont park. Birmingham la the first victim scheduled for the slaughter on home grounds, and next comes Montgomery. Those games with Birmingham ought to be among the beat of the season, provided Atlanta can keep up the same desperate fight which she has been putting up of late. The Barons are leading the pennant race now, and are likely to be when they meet the Crackers on the home grounds. If At lanta keeps well up, some neck-aud-neck contests are likely to result. The Atlanta players got the • rest they have needed so long Monday at Birming ham, .for, on account of wet grounds, the double-header scheduled for Monday was called off. This helps some, In the present crippled condition of the team. If the Crackers had had to play fire games In three days, It would have been pretty tough. Fou two days will be bud enough, hut after the Sunday and Monday Iny-off, the Crack era ought to be fresh and ready for what ever happens. Huge Crowd Expected For Georgian-News Ball Game Attendance records at Piedmont park will undoubtedly be broken Tuesday af ternoon when the baseball teams repre senting The Atlanta Georgian and The At lanta News will meet In bloody, and, per haps, mortal combat on the diamond. Qgrpentera were busy all the morning erecting extra seats. Fire thousand chairs have been placed aronnd tbo Infield. Ex tra gates have been “let In” the fence. If necessary, the fence will l*e taken down. Forty-fire new knot holes have also been added. Tuesday morning, The Georgian manage ment signed two new ^en—B. R. Brown and Palmer. Brown was one of the near- wonders of the last Tech baseball season. HARVARDCREW HAS ARRIVED REACHE8 ENGLAND WITH EVERY MAN WELL AND CONFIDENT OF 8UCCE88.

He does not keep tin* on the l>ench to fiud out wheth er they will do.” Charlie Fox, down In New Orleans, has roken loose again. Cbarilo is prone to fly on a tnumt on nearly every occasion. was hoped the managlnf editor of The Dal'* States had put n halter on Charlie. It eeeme not.

The latest rot to appear In their sheets Is a glaring head line to ths effect thnt Billy Rmlth was handed hla own medicine o#r In At lanta, nnd that he was Justly susi>euded.

It Is reported from Atlanta that Vaughn la. undecided about playing those two doublo-headers with Atlanta next Tuesday and Wednesday. Don’t you ever think be Is undecided.—Birmingham Ledger. Well, we didn't thluk he was ourselves, but he said so. And It was In a telegram, which be could not deny, as he does inter views. now and then. Every one sympathizes with Fox. lie Is a gentleman on the ball field and hnd mads many friends here. It Is hoped he will l>e back In the game soon.—Montgomery, Journal. Here Is a “dog story” tbnt would make even The New York Sun blush. It was taken from The Now York World: “Teddy, an Irish setter, la as fond of a game of baseball ns any human “fan." Ho belongs to Herman C. Heinrich, the proprietor of an 'art gallery' at Hamburg place and Magazine street, Newark, op posite tbo Eaitern League baseball grounds. “The setter acquired the bnoehnl! habit four years ago. He went to every game with hla master. Heinrich quit going, but Teddy did not. The ticket tnkera know him and let him in free. When'the biped fans cheer a good play, Ttfdy frisks aronnd and barka Joyously. When the hu mans hurl epithets nt the umpire, Teddy howla long nnd mournfully, saying ns plain ly as he can, * 'Did any ono ever hear a worse decision than that?"’ kicking, nnd . kicking bard, because game was called before the end of the ninth Inning in order that the Memphis players might catch the train. The base ball wrltera have mnde the point that the game wns started earlier than the sched ule time In order that the Memphis club might be done a favor,—Memphis News- Scimitar. The point was. Mack/ thnt the Memphis players used tactics which delayed the game. According to one of the recent ef fusions emanating from Little Rock, Cam- pau should have been*fired fur not mak ing the Burglar* play tbs game at the usual rati. You may say what yon want to, but Buckley Improves every day. He bfcs made a good and conscientious holder of the Indicator.

Goodwin pitched a few games for Mobile sad seem ed to be dolug pretty nicely, 'but evidently he could not deliver the groceries.—Shreve port Times. Wonder what happened ty Goodwin? A few years sgo-ln the fall of 1904 to In- ex act—he was so good thnt Brooklyn bought bliu, and now he can't make good n* n pitcher In the Cotton State*. “Artful Ar- ti*" does not teem to have gone any of the usual routes to enforced retirement. He does not drlak to excess. He works hard and Is ambitious. He has a good head nnd Iren nerve. Ills physical eoudlUen Is first class. And he Is still young. Yet he enn not pitch now a teutb as well ns he did two yearn ago. It Is not often a ball game Is* played and five double piny* successfully pulled off, but this Is what hiippeued In the sec ond game yesterday. Rlcksrt came In for nn uunsslstcd double during the sfternoou. He fielded a fly ball In left, and then l»est the base-runner back to second base.—Mon day's New Orleans Picayune. The Pelican writers are calling for the summary dismissal of Manager Smith.— Birmingham Age-Herald. If there were no other reason for keep ing him, that one would be sufficient. Down In New Orleans, The States Is refcrrlug to local wrltsrs ns “liars" and "low. down and contemptible scoun drels.” Nice talk for a newspaper, Isn't It? Yellow all the way through. Keep It up, gentlemen.—Birmingham Age-Herald. They probably will. They have been at jreiei tins existed. Freeman and Everett Make Good Scores at Lakewood They were certainly shooting some out nt Lakewood Monday over the traps of the Atlanta Gun Club. Freeman, with 147 out of 150; Everett, with 140 out of 150; Thorn ton, with two 23>; Befsindofer, with'one 23 and Poole with 47 .out of 60 were the best performers. Freeman's work was good, as usual. He broke 50 straight, then made a 24 and a 23 nnd finished up with 50 more straight, the Inst 26 at 20 yards' rise. Everett was at his l»est; and, barring n couple of 22'#, wns close around a perfect score. In his match with Freeman nt 20 yards he broke 24 out of £5 and lost by nn!. on.- bird.

NOTES AT RANDOM ON MONDAY’S MIXES Holmes pitched a no-hlt game MondaY against Jacksonville. NnslivlUe ■ took a donble-hesder from Montgomery Monday. Mique Finn's pets are beginning to woke up, but alas! It is too late. Pitcher Sorrel, of Nashville, who has been laid on the shelf for most of the sea son, was lu the game Mouduy. He pitched six Innings of the second game, when he retired In favor of Bailor Jack Ely. Charles Frank's "rubber ball dopestere" swelled their batting averages yesterday. They made 21 bits off Brady nnd Quick. Brndy wns taken out of the box In the fourth Inning. The Terrible Tribble dropped om Montgoniery'a games to Nashville. He nl lowed the same number of hits as Buch nnnn, hut Nashville made six runs out of nine hits, while Montgomery could make only one. Memphis has been camping on Shreve port's trail most of this season when not busily occupied In sticking the harpoon Into Atlnnta-and twisting It. McGrsw was asked to vacate the Polo grounds ngnlu Monday. Wonder how many times this Is for the season. Washington played s nasty trick on De troit. Didn’t reach second base, except once, until the ninth. Then mnde four runs and tied the score. Won out in the tenth with # single run. Guess ' that's something of a rally. Cleveland at Inst has something she can trim. The nam^ of the "trimee" Is Boston two-hit game Never Too Old For Golf Dr. T. C. Allbutt, reglus- professor of physics at Cambridge University, says a London dispatch to the New York Sun, re cently gave out the dictum thnt the law ought to forbid any man to begin playing the game of golf before he Is 85 years old, until which time he Is capable of more vig orous athletics. I)r. Allbutt left It to be In ferred thnt golf should only l>e regarded as kind of last resort for those tottering dowu hill toward senility. The presentation of the golf problem in this form led to Inquiries among the licit known exponents nnd amateurs of British athletic games. As a result the following table wns cuniplled. representing theories ss well ns practice: Cricket should be abandoned at 40 years; football, 30; hockey, 35; lawn tenuis, by women, 45, and by l 80; rowing, 6). The age for quitting cycling wns not definitely fixed. According to the table, golf should be dayed while life lasts but should not be wgun too young.
