SOUTHERN LEAGUE SEASON WILL SPORTS a Edited by PERCY H. WHITING "DOC” CHILDS MAY BE SUSPENDED FOR SEASON One month from Wednesday, on Sep tember IS. the last gsmes of ball In the Southern Lea rue will be played. On that day, New Orleana wlnda up In Atlanta With the Crarkera. and then the Southern League will turn Ita attention from base ball to league politics for a couple of atrenuoua months. Jugt at present, nothing part/.rularly giddy aeenia to he stirring In the Atlanta ramp. It may aaftly be tipped off. bowerer. that ••Doe" Childs la on the verge of get ting his suspension for the remainder of the season, nitty Smith was on point of releasing him. but he has made up his mind that, after paying Childs' salary most of the season, he will not tarn him adrift now. but will keep him out of the game for the remainder of the season. Dor will proliably be given one more chance this Week. If he proves to Is* In the poor condition he has In the other games of late, he will lie suspended without pay for the remainder of the season. IIS’ Is In anything but good condition at pres ent, and Manager Hmlth Is abotif ready to adopt some heroic measures to bring him around. It Is doubtful If either Otto Jordan or Jim Fox will get Into the second gams against IHrmlngham, though It may not lie Anally decided until Jast before the game. Doth men are Improving, but so slowly that It la doubtful If they will lie ready to play before the end of tbs week, at least. Savannah-Augusta Series Will Be Red-Hot Session Special to The Oeorglan. Augusta, Ga., Aug. 14.—Tho Augusta l>oys are hitting well, but the Havnunah team la doing Just as well, and It looks aa though the pennant will l*e decided by the aeries that will be played between the Jo- cals and the Colts here the last of this week. There Is more real Interest In this aeries than has ever l*een taken Iwfore In ball games In Augusta. If Augusta i» able to come out on top lu the games In Columbia today and tomorrow, there will be a hnrd scrap ltetwsen the two Geor gia teams, and It Is safe to say that the locals will get two. If not three, of the games front Morannah. The rooters are forming In a band al ready for the games Thursday, Friday and Baturdny. There will not be seating capacity for the large crowd, and It will be necessary for the people to be turned.out In the park. This lias been done on two former occasions here. Narannah lias a much worse road to trav el for Ute rest of the season than has Augusta. The home Itoya hare twelve games at home, while Havnunah has the majority of their games on the road. Out of the twelve games at home, the locals ought to win the pennant, and Man ager llanalck says that he will get It at that time. Havnunah plays the locals the Inst three days In this week, nnd then Havsnunh has to piny Mncott In Mnbon. and It Is safe to fflX fans will pull for the Tourists.

Is bringing Its season of 1906 to That four cluba have been gathered In thla city during the present season Is a startler. But It la au actual fact. The first team failed to make good. It was fired, to to speak. And In rapid succes sion enough men to make three more nines have been brought here In an equal number of months, and at last, a painful last, too. the management la satisfied to finish the season with the aggregation at hand—a hunch of tall-enders. And yet, Portsmouth and Richmond have played th# rseord crowds of the league. Continued defeats have not disheartened the hutigt. fans of thla city, and the tatl-eud aggre gation has drawn thousands of dollars through the gates of Portsmouth's Athletic Park.

ATLANTA ’. 5 BIRMINGHAM 4 It la only by again invoking attention to,the merltorloua riding In the stretch of the late lamented "Snapper” Garrison that due credit may be * given the Atlanta team for its stirring climax Monday afternoon, which turned victory Into defeat and humiliated the Barona, plus No-hlt Wil helm. About one-third of the fair-sized Monday crowd had already filed slowly out of the grounds and boarded the trolley cars when the excite ment came. They missed the whole show. It was the last half of the ninth and the score was 4 to 3 against the Crackers. Billy Smith took a sprinter’s start down on the bench and was dislocating a plug of tobaeco. Determination was written all over his crossed legs. But It looked like a poor sflow, for Evers, Wallace and Hughes—the tail-end of the batting list—were due up. None had been hitting worth a husza in hades. So he raced Ot Jordan In to bat for Evers. Crosier and Zeller got busy on the coaching lines and managed to stir up a smack of fuss from the sleepy crowd. • Then Otto smashed out a single to center, and the crowd began to ring the welkin. Wallace missed two a mile, then dropped a little bunt. Sallee spiked himself on the nose trying to field the bunt., Both hands safe. Crescendo screams from the crowd. Hughed up. The Birmingham team held a conclave In the middle of the diamond, and decided to dispense with Sallee. His feelings were hurt and he refused to go. They called on Wilhelm to take up the burden. Like a good pitcher, careful of his percentage of victories, he balked. It was a bad Job, but he finally gave in. He thereupon pinked T. Hughes on the finger nnd the bases were filled. Wagnerian discords from the crowd. Dick Crosier tried the squeeze and Jordan was at the plate when the bunt developed Into a foul. Then Crosier filed out to center. Jordan mado a desperate dash for the plate. The ball beat Mm but he waded Into Mat ty like a tor. of brick. The ball aped from Matty’s Angers to the water bucket. Jordan safe. Wallace safe. Game over. Tremendous applausot It was real stirring, for a fact. There was no real reason why the game should ever have been In any doubt, for Tom Hughes Aung a magnificent game. An error by Evers accounted for the Arst run The Hams’ next run came In, well earned, but with one down In the seventh errors by Morse and Hoffman resulted In two runs and the lead. Bailee was hit hard by the Crackers, but the bingles brought In but lit tle In the shape of runs. There was one remarkable incident to the gnme, Hughes hit a Texas leaguer to right Aeld. Walters went after tho ball, but It bounced out of his hands. Carlo Smith*, who was backing him up, nabbed the sphere be fore It touched terra Arma. Something nifty. Tho flguys: Hoffman, 2!»..
