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 score: ATLANTA- AB. II. H. PO. A. E.

THE DAILY DOPE HARVEST PLUCKED FROM EXCHANGES Birmingham appears to have met with more success—at least at home, especially With Atlanta. Of course the games won by the Advertisers were on the square to n certainty, hut the fans around the circuit don't believe It.—New Orleans States, This Is the same howl that New Orleans has put up every year since the league was organised. Judging -from an article In The Atlanta Georgian, the fans of the Gate Cfty are crying for more and better pltchera. Ilow keenly does this remind one of the cry that Went up In Birmingham recently. Hut, se riously. Atlanta Is In more need of twlrlers than Is Birmingham In spite of the fact that Smith's staff number# fire and Harry Vaughau'a but four. Hughes, Zellar, Har ley, Spnrka and Childs make up the Atlanta quintette, but tue local fans here would Dot swap Wlthelm, Ragan, Clark and Malice for sixteen like them.—Birmingham Age- Herald. The team Is doing pretty well, thank you. with the little old bunch they have bad light along. Sines Chattanooga has taken up the fight for sntrsnee Into the Southern League, and Since a fight has been Inaugurated against tha retention of Shreveport and Little jtoek. It Is a practical certainty that some official gteps will be taken In reference to thla matter the beglnnlg of next season.—Birm ingham Age-Herald. Here's hoping. Hardly a fan who baa seen the present Pelican team play will challenge the as sertlon that, hod Manager Frank gathered In this team even n month or six weeks after the start of the senson he would have led the race all the way with the others seldom catching sight of the local boyi heels. That wouldn't have done, for the other fellows are pretty sore as It Is, nod there Is no use aggravating them any more. Mr. Frank Just wanted to tease them nil the season, and then jump right in and get the penant at the very last.—New Or leans Item. The Babblers are all In good shape, and expect to win the pcnnnnt. They take stock In the talk that the eastern clubs have thrown or will throw games to Blrtu Inghniu, and say such talk Is mere bosh. Babb and his men spent Monday afternoon around the scoreboard and howled with joy when the la»y posted two runs for Atlanta In the ninth Inning, showing the Firecrack ers had defeated the Barons.—Memphis News-Scimitar. The nnmes of the great men who arc object* of the search may be altered to suit any part at the nntlon. ‘Hers, Johnny," said the father, "what are yoti'dolng In thnt bookcase?"

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. oooooooooooooooooooooooooo O CURTIS GET8 JOB O O WITH AUGUSTA.

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. and the directors. W000000000000000000O0000O O UMPIRE IS SIGNED. O . 0 Special to The Georgian.

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 weighs 172 pounds and gets this lu full uc* tnnler the largest of punts, ft tackle Is filled by Taylor, a player se place has not been strongly contested by any other Southern player nor In tin judgment of any competent critic. He also 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. Right tackle Is given to Jones of Auburn, I glut 196 pounds, and this year play ?d the best game In his history kb-ker. we could place rltbout ...

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.

Aug. 16.—There was game of baseball nt W.todvllle yesterday score of 5 TO THE LOYAL FAN. contributions to the papers will learn to cut out The Georgian. la spite of the repeated cements that such coni mti ideation a used. **A Loyal Fan" turned In one 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.
