The Bar es team wns t*ndly crippled owing to the absence of their second anil third basemen. Havitx, the Young Men's Christian A*jm»- ilatlon pitcher, pitched a 6m* game for the Maddox-Kucker team, and should have won with esse. v r CyyovMfe a hfr Rung vixen Mff vmu OlICOlattice, - - CRACKERS BACK HOME AGAIN Tired and sore and crippled’hut game to the core, tbt Crackers bare Umped home from Nashville, and Monday afternoon they open up for tbo 6rst of a series of three games with the ftarons. After the Olrmiughnm series Manager Mat laney brings over his bunch of pickles for a three days' engagement. An extra game is owed to Montgomery In Atlanta, and the debt will be paid on Thursday by a double- header. Manager Hmlth wns cheerful and resigned Monday morning, and answered questions as usual, briefly and to the point. When asked as to the rqmor that Wal lace had been released, be said: "No, 1 ■till have Wallace. I tried to trade him for Gilbert, but Mike Finn could hot see It. IU' stead, he sold Gilbert to Little Rock." Considering that Finn Is going to man age Little Itock next year, that looks Ilka a pretty foxy more. It la nil settlcil, I guess, that Finn will go to Little Rock. Nashville does not want him again, it Is said, and Little Rock does. (Right at this |>olnt it may be mentioned that Manager Hmlth overlooked the fat chance thnt there will be no Little Rock In the Southern League next year.) The attendance Saturday was under 400,' continued Manager Hilly, "so you can aee what a pass l»asehaU has come to there. * “There Is no use to kick, but It Is awf«il luck we have. Look at New Orleans. They go through the season without changing a man. •We hod a good chance for the pennant before Fox nnd Jordan went out. I thought wo were going right up. Hut thou they got hurt.

We nearly bent them They are playing food ball and having good luck. They will take a lot of Iwntlng. All their men are In good condition." * Outside of Fox nnd Jordan the memlters of the Atlanta team are In good condition. 'te of the fnqt thnt the team la by the nbscnce of these men. ■ are expected against Illrmtug- . . Hilly Hmlth is more than anxious to get at least two ont of three and his crip ples will put up a good flglu for the games. Anybody with a half pint of sens* known that Hilly Smith nnd his men never have and never will throw any games to Birm ingham or any other team. The report that they did Is the veriest rot. Undoubt edly the local team, like the local fans. CHATTANOOGA 8TILL HOPE8 TO GET BACK IN LEAGUE The Chattanooga Times cornea out Monday with a sensible article In re gard to the possibility that Chattanoo ga may be given a place In the South ern League next season. Instead of talking nt^mt the certain ty that the Southern League would have to come around on Its hands and kneea and ask Chattanooga to come back, It deals in a reasonable way In part ths article follows: Just at present the , Southern League la having more troubles than It knows what to do with. In the first place, Atlanta und Birmingham are making a strenuous fight on Charley Frank and accusing President W. M. Kavanaugh of acting In all cases in the Interests of the New Orleans mogul. "However, the most Important thing to' Chattanoogans Is that the league seems to have discovered that It con not get along with- two villages like Shreveport and Little Rock on the cir cuit. lit has been suggested In years gone by that the league made a mis take In excluding Chattanooga, but va rious and sundry people thought other wise. "Chattanooga was outrageously treat ed when this city was dropped by the league. Chattanooga had stood by the league In the St. Train muddle against Charley Frank nnd because this city upheld the officers of the league Kav anaugh and Charloy Frank got togeth er and dropped Chattanooga. Just how It was done, the public does not know. There have been rumors that one of the stockholders In the local assocla- ' tlon was In the deal that left this city out In the cold so far ns baseball Is concerned. Whether this 1s true or not, doesn't amount to anything now. "It remain* as a fact that today hattanooga Is not In the Southern league because Chattanooga was hon est. Last year when the Shreveport team sought refuge In this city, during the yellow fever, Chattanooga’s paid attendance averaged 4>ne thousand.

The 1906 Pennant Goes Up Wrong Pole, But Anyway Let 1 s Be Cheerful About It Frldsy a man called up the office, asked tor tbe npor*lng editor, and when bo got him remarked that he wanted the said sporting editor to write an article, urging the Atlanta Baseball Association to buy some more pitchers nnd to go out after the pennant. He sold that one of the other af ternoon papers had promised to hand out a little package along the same line, and thnt the combination might do some good. The man who made the suggestion was a fan of the best type, a man who enjoys baseball for Its own sake nnd who supports the team alike In storm and calm. But this time, at least so ws think, he wss wrong. In the first place. It happens to be too late. The working of a miracle alone can give Atlauta the pennant. Memphis pulled out of a deeper hole In 1904 and won the mg. But It took a miracle, nnd such events do not, as a rule, come so near together. may as well make up our mind to It— Atlanta ta about out of the pennant race for this year. The sooner we harden our selves to a realisation of .this the less It Is going to hurt when the finish comes. In sddltlon to being too late now, It has been too Into for some time. It sounds perfectly logical nnd reasonable to say "If they hnd wnnted to go out and buy plnye’r* they could hare got them." But this happens to be wrong Hall plov ers can’t Ik* ctatced along with sugar, neck tie*. cotton, cloth, cheese, nails nnd the other staples. You enu’t write to some johtier and order:, One first-class pitcher, capable of winning seven out of eight games, not to cost over 5225 n month One good outfielder, mut be .300 hitter nnd fast on the bases, nt 3200 a month You can give snch an order, but it can’t bo filled. If McGrnw could only spare us Mathew- >n. or Connie Mack would kindly loan us Waddell, or If we could cop Willie Keeler Hal Chase or a few such probably we could win out yet. But money will not buy ball players at this stage of the gailfb. It sertns to lie the customary belief among local fans thnt they are the only ones who hnp|N*n to I»o Interested In winning a peu- iinut—thnt eoppltig the rag ta n matter of no moment In any other place In the coun try tientiles Atlanta. There hnp|*ent to Ik- one or two hundred other teams looking for pennants, however, nud most of them nre wtlllpg t<» spend money to get the rags, hut unwilling to give up players at any price. * The local association has spent money— lots of It. The barkers of the club tried In every lcaltlmnte way to win the pen nant. Unfortunately there wen* five other teams In tin* league trying Just ns bard to win It and .all of them were willing t*» spend Just as much money ft* get It. In passing. It may be mentioned that there 1s nt least one other way that base I.nil team* differ from cheese, nnlta and the other staples. And thnt Is that. In tin* Kouthorn League at least, managers are restrained from paying more than a certain ! price for their team*. It Is not a question of going out and buying up every player In sight, as long as the money hold* out. It Is the question off getting as good n team as iMMMltile n* near the I2.7UQ salary limit ns possible fitd then of hating the luck to win with that team. the other fans of the city to do a lot of vhontlng nt the last two or three games nnd to contribute a small sum for the wind-up lieneflt game. Also It gave him a chance to blow about It a bit during the following winter. • And thnt was nbout nl!. When you get down to It the pleasure of baseball ought to lie In watching two well- b/tinneed (cams play a nice game of ball. Of course It Is pleasanter If the home team wins, but nt best It Is only one way of kill ing n couple of hours In a warm afternoon. And, nnywny (though we don't claim any originality for this question), wlnit will It matter a hundred years hence? GOLDFIELD MAKING PLANS FOR NELSON-GANS FIGHT Club-— Savannah .

Impartial Judges think l»oth men nre In pretty good condition now, nnd thnt three weeks' time ta ample to put them on edge. Both men have trained In high altitudes, and have no fear of trouble In the light, dry atmosphere of the desert region. It Is believed that there will be no dif ficulty In handling the crowds.* Goldfield Ih more than twice as targe as Carson City was when the fight l*etween Cor bett nnd Fitzsimmons occurred nt the tat ter place. Three trains run between the camps dally, nud what Goldfield can not the content, handle. Touopnw cnn. The fight will take place In the open. and the weather will ihake It a hot one.

Invitations were wlr«d to John L. Sulli van, James J. Corbett, James J.

"I have fought In Hutto nnd Halt Lake and other places thnt nre almost ns high a* Goldfield, and I have never hnd the least trouble In getting In condition," snld Neb son, In discussing the training outlook. "Ho far, 1 have not felt the least bit of dif ference in my breathing npysratus. nnd on account of the former experience In high places, I know that I will not be liothered at all.

It has lie*>ii pointed out a thousand ttm»*3« In a tin visa nd cities that the backer* of the home tenuis always want to win the peu- nants. Aud this Is especially true of At-1 tantn.
