ATLANTA 3 BIRMINGHAM 1 Atlanta put np a rlp-snortlng exhibition of baseball at Piedmont park Wed nesdsr, and won the closing game from Birmingham by n arorr of 3 t< The game bussed along for the first alx linings like a well oiled piece of nin chlnery. Then the Baron* mixed together Montgomery and an error by Winters Into Nothing worried, Atlanta tinned Into her half of the geventb and did things. Or, mostly, Birmingham didn't do things. For three bad errors were squeezed Into the Inning, and Atlanta scored thre Zeller pitched great ball, and had the Barons right where he wanted them from •nd to end. Beagnn did well also, and with errorless support, the affair would prob- ably have gone the first nine Innings 0 to 0. But the Atlanta cripples put up better ball In the field than did the Bnrona, •nd richly deserved the victory they won. This victory gate the Atlanta team two out of tin* three games with Binning ham. which la certainly good for a lot of cripples ngnlust the league leaders. The score: s ATLANTA- Crosier.

Of course the ga by the Advertisers were on the square to n certainty, but the fans around the circuit don't lielleve It.—New Orleans States. Thla la the same howl that New Orleans bas put up erery year since the league was organised. Judging from an article In The Atlanta Georgian, the fans of the Gate City are crying for more and better pitchers. How keenly does this remind one of the cry that went up In Birmingham recently. But, se rloualy. Atlanta Is In more need of twlrlera than Is Birmingham In spite of the fact that Smith's staff numbers five and Harry Vaughnn's but four. Hughes, Zellnr, Har ley, Sparks and Childs make up the Atlanta quintette, but tne local fans here would not swap Wllholm, Hagan, Clark and Sallee for sixteen like them.—Birmingham Age- Herald. The team Is doing pretty well, thank you, with the little old bunch they havo had right along. Since Chattanooga has taken up the tight for entrance Into the Southern League, and since a fight has been Inaugurated against the retention of Shreveport and Little Rock, It.la a practical certainty that some official steps will In* taken if* reference to this matter the heglnnlg of next season.—Birm ingham Age-Herald.

Hardly a fan who baa seen the present Pelican team play will challenge the as sertion thnt, had Manager Frank gathered In this team even a month or six weeks after the start of the season he would have led the race all the way with the others Ncblom catching sight of the local boys' heels. Thnt wouldn't have done, for the other fellows are pretty sore ns It Is, and there Is no use aggravating them any more. Mr. Frank Just wanted to tense them all the season, and then Jump right In and get the pennnt at the very last.—New Or leans Item. The Babblers are all In good shape, i expect to win the |»cnnnnt.

Handsome Cups Are Offered For Athletic Club Golfers Most of the details for the tournament next month to decide the ownership of the new Trawlck cup have‘been arranged. At the last meeting of the directors of the Atlanta Athletic ’Association, It was de cided to offer two cups, to be played for •a second and third flight cups In the Tra- wlck competition. These cupa will be kaud- some affairs, though they are not of suffi cient value to detract Interest In any way from the main cup. It la probable that the qualifying round of tournameut will be played Tuesday, Sep tember 18. The best eight scores will qual ify for the Trawlck cup, the next sixteen for the second cup, and the next sixteen for the third cup. The next day, match piny rounds will begin, eighteen holes eaeli afternoon, and the tournament will run through the re mainder of the week. The final rounds for •II cupa will l>e played Saturday after noon, September 22. A cu|» has Im»cii offered by Mr. Trawlck annually for three years, and the one which will be played for In September will make the fourth. The first and third were won by W. I*. Hill, and the second one by F. G. Byrd. Ou all throe occasions, the affair has been between these two golfers, anil It looks nh though they would be tho strongest contestants this yenr. The cup will, of course, In* n very handsome one, and It will become the permanent property of the winner. By having three flights, and allowing sixteen to qualify In both the second and third flight, It is hoped to Interest prac tically nil the golfers In the club. No entrance fee will be charged, mid ns the qualifying rounda will classify the golfers according to their ability, the affair should prove unusually attrrfctlve.

Hats affected with thla malady should be taken to Bussey’s, 28 1*2 hltehalh Proceedings were enlivened In the smoker Wednesday by a fight between Frank Dar nell, a dwarf, and J. B. Bowen. Accord ing to thosu who were In a position to see the circus, Darnell made himself ob noxious to those In the bleachers, and when Bowen remonstrated with him, Darnell at tacked him. There was quite n busy fight for n few minutes, and Bowen got con siderably the worst of It. Tho fielding of Wallace In center field was nbout the most brilliant thing that has been seen at Piedmont park this'year. Ill the first, fourth, sixth and seventh In nings he made circus stops of bnlls which looked good for safe hits. It la doubtful If better work lias been done In the league thla sear than that which Wallace has done of late. If his hitting Improves u bit, he la good for the rest of the season and another try next spring. Garvin made a stop that was all to the grand stand himself. He stopped a fly of Jordan's that looked more like a hit than any other Infield put-out of the day. Harley was'put off the grounds by the order of Umpire Uudderham during game. Harley's remarks were a shade too sulphurous to suit his maps. While the fight was taking place Wednes day, a Baron got to first base. But every body was so busy watching the stunt which was not on the program that not one man In ten knew whnt was happening on tl field, or how the lone Baron got to first Birmingham errors gave Atlanta game. Itcagan deserved a victory. tho Tho Barons' pitchers are certainly hold Ing thorn up In the rnce. Gee!" remarked Garvin, the humorist, e'H sure have a- hot team next year. All the men on the team are youngsters, here's me, practically a beginner; Motes- orth, who has Just broken Into baseball; 1 lurry Vaughn, another youngster; Mont gomery. who never saw a baseball gamo until n few years ngo; Gear, Walters and Matthews. Did you ever see such a lot of kids." And Garvin never cracked a smile. D’SAULLES’ ALL-SOUTHERN TEAM AUK CAPTURES MORNING RACE By John Longar Da Saullea.

A further discussion of the rhangea follows: Holding lias been more specifically defined to Include the following: Grasping an opponent with the hnnda or arms, placing the hands upon an oppoi to push him away from the play, circling in any degree any part of the nppomnt with the ariu. any use of the arm an opponent in blocking. The only allowa ble use of the arm In tdo-kbig or obstruct Ing nn opponent Is w’ith the arms close ti the body. The most radical of all changes made, however, has been the Introduction of tic forward pass, the rule for this reading as follows: "One - forward pass shall b» allowed i« each scrimmage, provided such pass be made by a player who was h-ddnd the Hue of scrltumngc when the bill was put In play, and provided the ball, after In Ing passed forward, does not touch the ground liefore being touched by a pliyer of eithe side."

When the IhiII bas been kicked by ii player other than the snapperhack, any player on the kicking side shall be ou-slde ns soon ns the ball touches the ground. This Is also a very radical change. It Is also provided that such a kicked ball striking the ground, thus putting the kick er's side on-alde, tnny not be kicked further or kicked at from Its position on the ground, or while l»oundlng.
