ATLANTA 3 BIRMINGHAM 1
Atlanta put up a rlp-snortlng exhibition of bnaehall at Piedmont park Wed
nesday, and won the closing game from Iltrmlnghnm by a score of 3 to 1.
The game bussed along for the tlrat alx Innings like a well oiled piece of ma
chinery. Then the Barons mixed together a base on balls off Zeller, a hit by
Montgomery and an error by Winters Into one run.
Nothing worried, Atlanta turned Into her half df the seventh and did things.
Or, mostly, Birmingham didn't do things. For three bad errors were squeezed
Into the Inning, and Atlanta scored three runs.
Zeller pitched great ball, and had the Barons right where he wanted them from
•nd to end. Reagan 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 Barons,
and richly deserved the victory they won.
This victory gave the Atlanta tAm two out of the three games with Blrmlng
ham, which Is certainly good for a lot of cripples against the league leaders.

THE DAILY DOPE HARVEST

Handsome Cups Are Offered
For Athletic Club Golfers
Most of the details for the tournament
Bext month to decide the ownership of the
How Trawlck cup have been arranged. At
the last meeting of the directory of the
Atlanta Athletic Association, It was de
cided to offer two cups, to he played for
ns second and third flight cupa In the Tra-
• wick competition. These cupa will be hand-
tome affairs, though they are not of suffi
cient value to detract interest in any way
from the main cup.
It Is probable that the qualifying round
Of tournament will be played Tuesday, Sep-
tember 18. The best eight scores will qual
ify for the Trswlck cup, the next sixteen
for the second cup, sud the next sixteen
for the third cup.
The next day, match piny rounds will
begin, eighteen holes each afternoon, and
the tournament will run through the re
mainder of the week. The final rounds for
nil cups will lie played Saturday after
noon, September 22.
A cup has been offered by Mr. Trawlck
annually for .three years, and the ore which
Will be played for In September will make
the fourth. The flrat aud third were won
by W. P. Hill, and the second one by F.
G. Byrd. On all throe occasions, the affair
has been between these two golfers, and
It looks ns though they would be the
strongest contestants this year. The cup
will, of course, lie n very handsome one,
and It will become the permanent property
of the winner.
By having three flights, and allowing
sixteen to qtinllfy In both the second and
third flight, It is hoped to Interest prae-
tleslly all the golfers In the club. No
entrance fee will be charged, and ns the
qualifying round* will classify the golfers
according to their ability, the nffnlr should
prove immunity attractive.

All Atlanta lacked this season was luck.
With that necessary factor, the pennant
would have flowu over Piedmont park when
the opening ball wan fired next spring.
Ought to make It three out of four
from Montgomery with all ease. The
Climbers have Hot proved so very puz-
xling la the past.
Proceedings were enlivened In the smoker
Wednesday by a fight between Frank Dnr-
•II, n dwarf, and J. B. Bowen. Accord
ing to those who were In a position to
see the circus, Darnell made himself ob
noxious to those In the bleachers, and when
Bowen remoustruted with him, Darnell at
tacked him. There was quite a busy fight
for a few minutes, and Bowen got con
siderably the worst of 1^.
The fielding of Wallace In center field
wan about the most brilliant thing that
has been seen at Piedmont park this year.
In the flrat, fourth, alxth and seventh in
nlngs he made circus stops of balls which
looked good for snfo hits. It is doubtful
if better work has beeu done la the league I Matthews. Did you ever
this year than that which Wallace has done I °f kids,"
of late. If his hitting improves a bit, he ‘ * '
Is good for the rest of the season and
another try next spring.
Garvin mode a stop that was all to the
grand stand himself. He stopped a fly of
Jordan's that looked moro like a hit than
any other infield put-out of the day.
Harley was pat off the grounds by tho
order of Umpire Iludderham dutlng the
game. Harley's remarks were a shade
too sulphurous to suit his umps.
While tho 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 what was happening on the
field, or how the lone Baron got to first.
Birmingham errors gave Atlanta the
game. Reagan deserved a victory.
The Barous' pitchers are certaluly bold
ing them up In the rnce.
"Gee!” remarked Garvin, the humorist,
"we'll sure have a hot team next year.
All the men on the team are youngsters.
There’s me, practically a beginner; Moles-
worth, who has Just broken Into baseball;
Harry Vaughn, auother youngster; Mont
gomery, who never saw a baseball gomo
until n few years ago; Gear, Walters and
such a lot
AimI Garvin never cracked a smile.
Presumably, Garvin was "funning."
a matter of fact, the average age of the
collection he named would be somewhere
In the region of forty-eight years or there
abouts.
The Atlanta fan Is an odd article. Ho
will turn out In droves to see Atlanta play
Little Rock, tho worst tenm In the league,
because lie Is practically sure that At
lanta Is going to win. Aud yet he will
duck the last Birmingham series, which
was practically certain to be one of the
very best In the year, because there was
a chance thnt Atlanta might lose.
Wnllnce seems to have renovated his bat
ting eye; gets ft single nlmost every day.
Wednesday It was a double.
Birmingham's Inflelders had n dny off
Wednesday. Only four made assists.
Walters took two of them, while the other
two were divided between Reagan and
Montgomery.
Jordan was trying hard to win the game
In the fifth when he singled and then stole
second. Hut nobody hit.
The "Iron Molders" stole only one base
on Johnnv Evers. The lucky one was
"Horse Shoe" Smith, who went to first
by the Big Four Route.
Reagan must be the Barons’ stnr batter
among the pitchers. He had two lilts stuk-
ed to his name Wednesday.

The selection of an all-Southern team for
1906 has been simplified by excluding men
who, regardless of their abilities as players,
are disregarded If Ineligible under any of
the terms set forth at the outset.
Left end Is to be taken care of by lake
of Vanderbilt. This splendid defensive end
successfully guarded his territory In
nost consistent manner throughoJt the
season—a strongly made .voting American (
athlete, with brains and decisive action; ho

halls from Vanderbilt (ind weighs 17<
pounds.
Left guard. Derrick, comes from Clemson,
and is a veteran player who, by steady Im
provement, 1ms put himself In the first rank
of linesmen. He was the mainstay of the
Clemaon season and no other Southern
player could so satisfactorily fill this Im
portant posltoln; hence, to balance the
team and utilize the best of the material
available, he is shifted from center td
guard.
The Initial point has been somewhat dif
ficult to decide, and the truth Is that there
Is no great amount of material to select
from. Atkins of Hewn nee Is urged by
some, while 8lms of Georgia Tech hat his
admirers; yet. all considered, the consensus
of opinion gives the place to Patterson of
Vanderbilt.
Stone of Vanderbilt, n most aggressive
man, well trained, full of the l»e#t spirit
which moves a man forward In a deter
mined endeavor; no man has yet faced him
without arriving at this conclusion. Van
derbilt bad this year ninny good men, many
more talked of than Stone, but there was
not n man on her team who could less
easily have l>een dispensed with, not ex
cepttug that redoubtable ninl brilliant Craig.
Stone could play his guard ou a much
stronger team.

zntton; yet this element, while often un
developed, does not warrant us In displac
ing Hamilton of Vanderbilt, who guards
this side so faithfully and effectively.
To maneuver the notions of this organiza
tion, Kyle of Vanderbilt Is given the plnee
over Rnndolph of Virginia; the Intter, su
perior In open field work and kicking, In
immature in diverting the attack ns con
trasted with the exceptionally high charac
ter of the work of Kyle.
Left half again goes to Johnson of Vir
ginia, which place Is perhaps the strongest
In the field. He is nlwnys at hls best of
fensively iind defensively, a gentlemauly
spirit guiding hls every act.
Craig of Vanderbilt will again lie placed
at right half, a splendid player who would
make Johnson a fine running mate.
Fullback position Is filled by Mnnier of
Vanderbilt, although Clark of Georgia Tech
ha* been favorably spoken of hr many.

Thursday morning. It will appear lu the
Some of the changes In the football rules
from those used last year to the ones which
will be used this fall were given In yes
terday's Georgian. A further discussion of
the changes follows:
Holding has been more specifically defined
to include the following:
Grasping an opponent with the hands or
arms, placing the hands upon an opponent
to push him away from the play, circling
In any degree any part of the oppom ut
with the arm, any use of the arms to lift
an opponent In blocking. The only allowa
ble use of the arm In blocking or obstruct
ing an opponent la with the arms close to
the body.
The most radical of all changes made,
however, has been the introduction of the
forward pass, the rule for this reading
follows:
"One forward pass shall 1m allowed to
each sortmmnge, provided such pass be
made by u player who was behind the line
of scrimmage when the bill was put In
play, nnd provided the ball, after being
passed forward, does not touch the ground
being touched by a pliyer of either
side."
The necessary distance to In? gained In
three downs has been doubled—that Is, the
side In possession of the ball must gain ten
yards In three downs Instead of five, as for
merly. This Is the most direct legislation
against mass plays.
When the ball has beeu kicked by n
player other than the snnpperback. any
player on the kicking side shall be on-slde
as soon aa the ball touches the ground. This
is also a very radical change.
It Is nlso provided that such a kicked ball
striking the ground, thus putting the kick
er's side on-side, may not be kicked further
or kicked at from Its position on the
ground, or while bounding. This Is In or
der to prevent what might Im» dangerous
complications from men klcklug at q rolling
The rather indefinite expression of
"charging" has been changed to "starting
forward beyond the restraining line" in nil
cases throughout the rules.
«2l kl,kw . ,! r / vln * Bt If™ 1 h T » Plnrp-
a touchdown mar touch or adjust
the ball In the hands of the holder so long
ns the Imll does not touch the ground.
The rule regarding foul play has been
amplified nnd specifically covers striking
With the fist or elbow, kneeing, kicking,
meeting by linemen when they ore break
ing through.
Furthermore, n playpr on defense Is for
bidden to strike In the face with the heel
of the hand mi opponent who Is carrying ,
the ball.
These offenses are punishable not only
by disqualification of the p!njer> hut, nlj-o
the loss by the offending team of half the
Ulstnnce to Ita own goal Hoc.
Tripping ami tackling the runner when
clearly out of hounds, piling up on n player
after the referee has declared the ball dead. I
hurdling, nml other nets of unnecessary I
roughness, are punishable by a 15-yard l<w** I
Tackling below the knee Is punishable by I
a 6-yard loss. Unsportsman like conduct, I
abusive or insulting language to opponent* I
or officials Is punishable by suspension for |
the remainder of the gnme.
It Is provided thnt a tnckler who h«i
fairly tackled a runner above the kn«s
shall not be penalized If he slides down be*
low the knee after tmiklug the tackle.
All tho officials are expected to penalize
offenses enumerate under unnecessary
roughness, unsportsman-like conduct, aud

On penalties thnt would carry the bnli to
