12 TIIE ATLANTA GEORGIAN WEDNESDAY. AUGUST 8, 100G FIGHT ON IN NATIONAL LEAGUE SPORTS Edited by PERCY H. WHITING ANOTHER PROMISED IN SOUTHERN RANSICK NOT DISCOURAGED SIGNS ERVE BECK AND WILL LET LOOSE MONEY TO GET A PEN- NANT WINNER. Bpeelal to The Georgian, Augusta. <)rn., Aug. 8.—Th® Tourist® have falleu from the high point that they have held for the entire sea eon, and now the Savannah bunch have gained the topmost round. Manager Kniudck, however, says that he has never felt more confident of getting the pennant, and he declares that he will have It, regardless of the cost. In order to strengthen the Augusta team Manager Itanslck secured the services of Bock, an ex-Southern leaguer, end he made his first appearance on the grounds yesterday afternoon. lie Is not a very bright star, and will doubtless l»e served a pink slip In n few days. If he does not show an Improvement. Walter South, who Is the Tourists' regular first sacker, has lieen on the "cripple list" for the past month. The notice received In Augusts yesterday through the sporting columns of The Georgian, to the effect that the owners of the Atlanta club were anxious to get In the South Atlantic League, was received with much delight, for It is believed that with the addition of Atlanta nud Birming ham and with the class of the South 'At- lantlc being raised to "II." that the league will be a much faster and I tetter league. The attendance In Augusta this year has Iteen very nearly e«|unl to that of the cities In the Southern tongue, and In some In stances It has been much (tetter than the average «of the Southern league, towns where a losing team Is playing. NEWS GANG IS SLAUGHTERED Amidst the Rounds of clapglng am bulance gongs and the ehrleka of ad miring multitudes The At lanta Georgian employees handed defeat to The At lanta News' hired men at Piedmont park Tuesday af- , temoon. The scoro waa 11 0 8. Thn spectators alone were CapT.turner on Inspiring sight. On the umpired, bleachers was one lone man, the boxes were deserted, In the “for men only" place were a few dosen small boys, und In the grand stand were a score of admiring wives, sisters, sons, daughters and friends of the contest ants. But what they saw will long be remem bered. The Georgian staff played ball that would have made Con- nlo Mack's brigade blush aloud. Thompson had the speed of a Matthewson, the curves of IVaddell and the headwork of a Kahn, flub Hud dleston did stunts be hind the bat that made Archer look like a be ginner. PressHuddle- ston at second played ball that would force him Into professional baseball If . he weren't In politics—and Kid HarrlBl Well, the kid Guv Grins was all to the mustard! slides home. His fielding had Its faults, but on the coaching line he was the works. The Newsies were never In the hunt. In the Httb Inning they took down live runs, but that did them little good, for The Geor gians cut off the supply and nothing happened thereafter. Walter Taylor, of The Jour nal, who had agreed to umpire, lost his nerve at the critical moment and chief Joyner was pressed Into service. The chief umpired a grout game and gave general satisfaction. One Incident marred the game. Just at the close Lee Smith, who wits doing the Jtm Pox Btunt on first, desperate stab at a 1 one toward the bag and u on his right hand wua n. Borne Juvenile Mc- Gann was called In to finish the game and the next man up batted to him and the game ended with a pretty double. The News has challenged for Onr another game, but It Is proba- twirier, ble that they will bo required to go out and “get them a rep utation" before being given another chance.

SOUTHERN LEAGUE NOW ON VERGE OF LARGE AND VERY WARM FIGHT PLAYER BECK HAS WILLIES Cotton States— Mobile 6, Vicksburg 0. Jackson 0, Meridian 5. Haton Rouge «, Gulfport 5. Katnn Rouge 5, Gulfport 0. Eastern— Baltimore 3, Rochester 1. Rochester 2. Baltimore 1* Not since the troublesonio days .back In 1902 has the Southern League been iu such a critical condition and as near n large and entertaining fra* fight na It Is right "t*W. Three separate flghte are ready to start lu the Southern League. For oue thing, Atlanta Is willing to drop out of the Southern nnd go to the South Atlantic league, carrying nirmlnghnni with her, provided the Iron. City Is willing. Now .comes the rumor from Shreveport thnt n definite plan Is being worked out to oust Shreveport and Little Hook from the Southern League and take ou two other cities. * The th^rd complication la the wnrm fight which Is on In Atlanta sud Birmingham to ou«t President Kuvsnaugh from hit posi tion. With nil these things stirring, the pros peels for warm doings were never better In the Southern. Whether or not anything will come of the plan for transferring Atlanta from the Southern league to tbo South Atlantic time will tell. Hut one* thing Is perfectly certain: At lanta. nnd Illruilughniu are thoroughly sick of the domination of the league by New Orleaus forces, under the leadership of »'barley Frank, and would welcome nuy on* of the three possibilities for relief. If Shreveport nud Little Hock are knock ed nut of the league tlie majority of That Dutchman In Southern league meetings Is gone, for the present at least. And doubtedly their ttu-cannig would help the league. , Shreveport since the beginning nnd Lit tle Itoek for at least three years have lx*en e "dead ones" of the league. Practically ery team which goes to those towns loses money. Once In a doseti times, perhaps, a team draws down more thau the guarantee. Hut usually the manager has to accept the little old 875 nnd lose tbe difference between thnt nud his expenses. Both Shreveport a ml Little Hook are so •eldedly remote thnt It Is necessary t* burn up thousands of dollars a year In ear fare to get the teams over to these two little towns. But there Is little use In thrashing oxer this matter again. It has lw»en pointed out thousand times lu the lost three years why Mhrcveport nnd Little Hock should lx* put out of the league, and still the league has persisted In nllowtug them to retain their franchises. Now thnt It I* necessary to tin something to break up Charley Frank's hold on the league, however, the ehauces that Shreve port mol Little Hock will get the pink slip are brighter than ever l*efore. It Is presumed that If Little Itoek drops out of the league 1‘resident Knvaitaugh will not hold office again. It Is the writer's linpressloii that tbe judge Is on record that he will not serve the league If Little Hock drops out—but this may Ik* a mistake. Unquestionably there Is a fight on Judge Knvauaugh In Atlanta nud Birmingham, nnd It may end In his defeat, provided he decided to run again. lu any event, things are likely to happen between the pwwtt and the time of the Southern League meting, nnd It Is hard to sue w hat will route out of the shake up. The following Is a story, presumably niu plltted by T. G. Scarbrough, of tbe Mem phis Commercial Appeal, from the skeleton report sent by the Commercial's corre spondent with the team: "No very great surprise will be occasion ed here should n rebellion occur lu the rnuks of the Southern League by the time of the next annual meeting of the Southern longue. Shreveport fans have already henrd thnt secession Is likely to occur on the part of ono or two meiulH*rs of the so- called Eastern circuit of tbo eight-club chain that has held Intact alnre the forma tion of the present organisation, which witnessed the forfeiture of Chattanooga's franchise during the atonuy aftermath of the HI. Vrnln-t'hurley Frauk-Cnruthers Ew ing litigation In 1903. According to the new* received over tho wireless here At lanta nud Birmingham will favor the elim ination of Shreveport and Little Hock and the substitution of Chattanooga and Hn- vaunnh, or of two other desirable cities east of the* Mtsttlxslppl. The long Jump nud the small ntteudauee at Little Hock and here fnrnlsbea the most reasonable foundation for complaint at the present Southern League map, and now since Hlr- tuliigbam and Atlanta, together with Mem phis, nro turning out tho largest audiences of tho season, which me?ns that the tropolls of the circuit—New Orleans—has taken a Iwek sent as the flnnnclul 'back bone* of the Icagne, the easterners nro displaying thorough Independence nnd Jtnnglue they are entitled to more than ordinary consideration.' On top.of tho an nouneeinent of the probable fight thnt will coufront Shreveport nnd Little Itoek to hold their places In the circuit Is n thor ough nnd plain plot to beat I*resldent Knv- nmtugh for tho presidency nt tbo next election. With KnvtiuatigU local people well ns those nil over the circuit who i deratand the situation thoroughly appre ciate thnt hla connectlofi xvtth ' baseball Is thnt of the 'office seeking the man.* The npixisltlon to the Arkntisnu comes from Birmingham nnd Atlanta, ami according to advices received here was born from re marks ft* enthusiastic member* of the press in the Iron City by Manager Vaughan am) other officials then;; who desire the over throw of tho present government probably In hopes of placing on the throne a weak er and less able official who can be han dled for personal gnlna." • PELICANS PASS BURGLARS AND GO AFTER BARONS The scuffle between Memphis and New Orleans for second place Is quite amusing them* days, especially liecattse of the cur rent belief that Memphis Is not any too anxious to finish ahead of tbe Pelicans lu the race. However It hnppened. New Orleans managed to phi I up ahead of the Burglars Tuesday, though their lead Is only one of .002. However, from now It will But lx* surprising to see the Pellcaus stay In frout of Babb's team, uo matter where tlu» INdl- cans may roam, l»e It. far up or low down. No other ehnuges In the league standing were noted os a result of Tuesday’s game. Atlanta Settled a bit ns a result of Tues day's doubh-he..der and Birmingham soared rqrresixmdlugiy. Little Itoek Is atlll last by a large ma jority. When the New Orleana team was In lit tle Hock 1‘resideut Kavsimugli made a fur ther luvestigatknr of the Breitensteln case, lie has stated thnt the Incident has uot lx*en closed yet. and that further Investiga tion will lx* made when New Orleaus Is next Itt Memphis. 1‘erhapa by. the end of the season, when It will make no difference to Charley Frank's peasant chance*. BreHeusteta will lie sus)M*nded for a week or ten days. Illlly Smith was smiling everywhere. Billy was saved two woeful defeats.—Birming ham I^edger. Judged by Tuesday's effort, guess b; was saved, one or two. Can’t tell, though. Johnny Hnggnu of Nashville threw It Into Montgomery Tuesday. Mullaney used Max- 1‘retty tough to lose that double-header. However, It's all In the day’s work. Let's grin and bear It. Can't win oil of thorn, especially with a crippled team. Atlautn may not win the pennant this year, but It Is going to lie one of the worst cases of "nearly" that was ever noted lu these parts. Try to console yourself with thinking how tickled they an* down In Blrmlughntu over beating Atlanta. With all their protesta tions of friendship, they would rather beat Atlanta thau any team lu the league. When Billy Smith received the official no tification that bis sus|X‘nsloa wits raised he took a loud whoop. Smith Is all right, and tbe fans wish him success.—Birmingham t.edgcr. Kindly thank tbe fnua lo our behalf. Anyway, after today's misery the Crack ers go on to Nashville. Guess maybe the Billy Hmtthlte* can win a eouple up there. And tbeu home again for that awful aeries with Birmingham. Matty suggested that three games l*e played today, beginning at o'clock this morning amt continuing natlt dinner.

Birmingham, Ala., Aug. 8.—The Atlanta team fought bravely for the double-header here Tuesday afternoon, but dropped both games by scores of 2 to 1. Both teams played good boll, and the vic tory of the bouie club was by Just as nnr- row a margin as the snores would Indicate. The Crackers played renl ball, but the ad vantage of home grounds, home rooters and n somewhat dlsfiguretl team was enough to give the games to the Baron*.
