In order to strengthen the Augusta team
Manager Unnalek secured the service*

month.
The notice received In Augusta yesterday
through the sporting columns of The

NEWS GANG IS
SLAUGHTERED
Amidst th« pounds of clanging am

miring multitude* The At

handed defeat to The At

Piedmont park Tuesday af

the boxee were deserted, in
the “for men only” place wore a few
doten small boys, and In the grand
stand were a score of

ants.
But what they saw
will long be remem
bered. The Georgian

ball that would force

baseball If he weren't
In politics—and Kid
Harris! Well, the kid
wns all to tho mustard!
HI* Holding had Its
fttults, but on the
coaching line he .was the works.
1 The Newsies were never In the hunt.
In the fifth Inning they took
down five runs, but that ilia
them little good, for The aeon,
glnns cut off the supply ana
nothing happened thereafter.
Walter Taylor, of The Jour
nal, who had agreed to umpire,
lost hi* nerve at the critical
Inoment and Chief Joyner wns
pressed Into service. The chief
umpire! a great game and gave
general satlafaction.
One Incident marred the game. Just
at the cloae Lte Smith, who waa doing
the Jim Fox stunt on first,
made a desperate atab at a
wide one toward the bag and a
finger on his right hand was
broken. . Some Juvenile Me-
Gsnn was called lit to finish
the game and the next man up
betted to him and the gnmo
ended with a pretty double.
The News has challenged for
Our another game, but It la proba-
twirier, ble that they will be required
to go out and “get them a rep.
utatlnn” before being given another
chance.

SECOND GAME.
SOUTHERN LEAGUE NOW ON VERGE
OF LARGE AND VERY WARM FIGHT
Not since the troublesome days back In
1902 hns the Southern league been lu such
a critical condition and as near a large
and entertaining free.fight as It Is right
now.
Three separate fights nr* ready to start
In the Southern League.
For one thing, Atlanta Is willing to drop
out of the Southern and go to the South
Atlantic Isesgue, carrying Birmingham with
her, provided the Iron City Is willing.
Now cornea the. rumor from. Mlireveport
that a definite plan la ludng worked out to
oust Shreveport and Little Rock from the
Houtbern League sad take on two other
cities.
Tho third complication Is the warm fight
which (s on In Atlanta and Birmingham to
oust President Knrsnnugh from his posi
tion.
With all these things stirring, the pros
pect* 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 the Mouth Atlantic time
will tell.
But one thing te perfectly certain: At
lanta and Birmingham are thoroughly tick
of the domination of the league by New
Orleans forces, under the leadership of
Charley Frank, a ad would welcome any one
of the three poeelldlltles for relief.
If Hhreve|K>rt nml Little Rock are knock
in! out of the league the majority of That
Hatchman lu Houtheni League meetings Is
gone, for the present at looat. And un
doubtedly their tln-canntg would help the
league.
Hhreveport since the beginning and Lit
tie Rock for at least three years have been
the "dead ones" of the league. Practically
every team which goes to those towns loses
money. Ouce In n doxen time*, perhaps, a
team draws down more than the guarantee.
Jlut usually the manager has to accept the
little oh! 175 anil lose the difference between
tluit nml hi* expense*.
Iiotli Hhreveport and Little Rock are so
decidedly remote that It la necessary to
burn up thousands of dollars a year In ear
fare to get tho teams over to these two
little towua.
Rui there Is little us#* In thrashing over
thl* matter again. It haa loeen polnteil out
a thousand times in the last three year*
why Hhreveport and Little Rock abould lie
put ont of the league, and atilt the league
haa pcnduted lu nllowlug them to retain
their frauchl*ea.
Now that It Is necessary to do something
to break up Charley Frank’* hold on the
league, however, the cbnin*e* that Hhreve-
ptirt and IJttle Hock will get the pluk slip
are brighter than ever loefere.
It I* presumed that If Little Hock dnip*
ont of the league Brealdent Krtvannugh will
not hold office again. It I* the*writer'*
Impression that the judge is on iword that
he will not serve the leagtm If Little Hock
drop* out—but thl* may lie a mistake.
Unquestionably then* I* a fight on Jndge
Karanatigb In Atlanta and Birmingham,
and It iiiuy epo! lu hi* defeat, pruvideol he
decided to run again.
In any evept. things are likely to happen
between the present and the time of the
Stmt hern I**ngne meting, nml It 1* hard to
any what will cotne ont of tin* shake up.
The following I* a story, presumably am
plified by T. O. Mcarbroukh. of the Mein
report sent by tha Commercial's corre
spondent with the team:
"No very great aurprlae will !»e occasion
ed here. should n rebellion occur In the
ranks of the 8oiithcrn League by tho (line
of the next annual meeting of the Southern
league. Hhreveport fnna have already
beard that sewsslon Is. likely to occur on
tho part of one or two members of the so-
called Eastern circuit of the eight-club
chnln that has held Intact since the forma
tion of the present organization, which
witnessed the forfeiture of t'hattnuoogu'a
franchise during the stormy aftermath of
the Ht. Vralu-Chnrley Fra nk-Ca rut hers Ew
ing litigation In 1908. According to the
news received over the wireless here At-
Inntn and Birmingham will favor the elim
ination of 8hreve|Mirt and Little Roek nml
the substitution of Clmttnuooga and Sa
vannah, or of two other desirable cities
east of the Mississippi. The long Jump
and the small dttendance nt Little Rock
and here furnishes the most reasonable
foundation for complaint nt the present
Hoiitheru Iscague in up. and now since Bir
mingham and Atlanta, together with Mem
phis, are turning oat tka largest audlencea
of the seoaon, which means that the me
trbpolls of the circuit—New Orleans-
taken n hack seat as the financial ‘hack-
l»one' of the longue, the easterners * are
displaying thorough Independence and
Imagine they are entitled to more tbnn
ordinary consideration. Ou top of tho nm
nouncement of the protmble fight that will
confront Hhreveport and Little "Rock to
hold their places lu the circuit Is* a thor
ough and pialu plot to beat l*realdeut Kav-
aiiaugh for the presidency at the ne%t
election. With Kavannugh local i»cop!e ns
well as those nil orer the circuit wlio un
derstand the situation thoroughly appre
ciate that his txmuectlon 'with baseball
Is that of the 'office seeking the mon.' The
opposition to the Arkansan conics from
Iilniilngham and Atlnnts, nml according
to advices received here wns borfi from re
marks to enthusiastic mefiibers of the press
In the Iron City by Manager Vaughan and
other officials there who desire the over
throw of the present government probably
In hopes of placing on the throne a weak
er nml less able official who can be han
dled for personal gains."
PELICANS PASS BURGLARS
AND GO AFTER BARONS
The scuffle between Memphis and New
Orleans for second ptnee la quite amusing
,thea»* days, especially because of the cur
rent belief that Memphis Is not any too
anxious to finish ahead of the Pelicans lu
the race.
However It happened. New Orleans
managed to pull up ahead of the Burglars*
Tuimdtiy, though their lead la only one of
.002. However, from now ou It will uot loe
ntirprislug to see the Pelicans stay In front
of Babb's team, no matter where the Peli
can* may roam, be It far up or low down.
No other chnugea lu the league standing
wen* noteil ns n result of Tucmlny'* game.
Atlanta settled a.bit as a result of Tuea-
tlny's double-header ami lUrmtugUam soared
correspondingly.
Little Rock 1* still last by. a large ma
jority.
\Yken the New Orleans team arts In IJt
tle Rock Presilient Knvauaugti made a fur
ther Investigation of the Rndteusteln case.
He has stated that .the Incident has not
loeen dosed yet, sod that further Investiga
tion will loo made when New Orleans la
next In Metuphla.
Perhaps by the end of the aeason. when
It will make no difference to Charley
Frank'* pennant chances, Brdteustefn will
l»e suspended fi»r a week or ten dnya.
Billy Hmlth wa» smiling everywhere. Billy
Was saved two woeful defeats.—Birming

Judged by Tuesday's effort, guess b* was

Johnny Buggnu wif Nashville (brew It Into

Pretty tough to loao that double-header.
However, It's all lo the'day's work. Let's
grin nud bear It.
Can't win all of them, especially with a
crippled team.
Atlanta tuny not win the pennant this
year, but It U going to be one of the
worst caaea of "uearly" that was ever
jmted In these parts.
Try*to console yourself writh thinking how
tickled they nre down lu Blrmlughaui over
heattug Atlanta. With nil their prutesta-
ttut** of friendship, they would rather beat
Atlanta than nny team In the league.
When Billy Hmlth received the official no
tification that hi* suspension was raised he
took a load whoop. Hmlth la all right, and
the fans with him success.—Blrmlugtum

Kindly thank the fnua lu our Itehalf.
Anyway, after today's misery the Crack
er* go on to Nashville. Gneoa maybe the
Billy Hmlthltes can wlu a couple up then*.
Ami then home again for that awful aeries
with Birmingham.
Matty nnggosted that three games be
played today, beginning nt 8:*> o'clock this
mortthtg and continuing until dinner. A
short recess be taken theu and the battle
to proceed In the afterribon until darknesa
puts an end to the conflict.—Birmingham
