ATLANTA TEAM PLAYING
VERY SPEEDY BASEBALL
TRIMMING ’EM SOME!
By PERCY WHITING.
Special Correspondence.
Memphis, Tenn., Aug. 22.— 1 The Atlanta
team made a highly creditable showing
In Memphis.
The flrat game was fairly and squarely
lost, l>nt with a disorganised team and
Against the greatest pitcher of the Rnuth-
ern League, the showing was highly cred
f table.
- The second game was a safe victory
And A well-played contest. The Crackers
showed up In fine style, and. took
game In a rotnp, after a see-saw contest.
The third game proved to he another
victory, and waa one of the most enter
taining games seen this season. The Crack
era were on the Jump from beginning to
end. nhd never gave up, though the
In the first Inning and the subsequent star
twirling of "Hally" Suggs made things look
decidedly blue for the Atlanta delegation.
The game was won on Memphis' errors,
to be sure, but the Crackers were right
there to take advantage of them, and fancy
base running by Otto Jordan was about
what beat Babb's Burglar*.
The fourth game speaks for Itself. At
lanta just outplayed Memphis at every
point.
The old never-glveup-tlll-the-last inan-ls-
out spirit has shown up strong through
out the series. The boys have all done
their level beat, and If they were right at
the top and had the pennant In light, they
could have worked no harder to win. That
they have been np against the team which
j la, on form, dope and past performances,
• the best In the league, has not worried
the bunch In tho slightest, and they have
gone after games with a will.
The return of Childs to hla true form
. ought to help the team. It) Tuesday's
; game, he pitched wonderfully well. He
had good control of both hla curves and
hla fast ball, and the steam be put Into
the latter waa something pretty startling
to the Memphis battera, especially as moat
| of the game was played with the sky
heavily overcast.
| If the players can keep the pace they
bare set in the Memphis aeries, their
showing through the West should be some
thing which will surprise the natives. The
I.lttle Rock games ought to prove easy.
There Is no rensou to suppose that the
Travelers nre any stronger than usual.
Jt Is hoped that Archer will lie In good
playing shape by the time the Shreveport
aeries begins, and If he Is, Gltka' I’lrates
ought not to prove so very fnrmfdgb!*
Of course. New Orleans Is likely to enuse
a world of trouble, and the series In the
Crescent City Is likely to lie one full of
exciting Incidents. But the Crackers have
every right to expect an even break down
there.
If the trip goes on ns smoothly as It has
started, the Atlanta team ought to coine
back In a position which will give them
a chance to make things exciting during
the eonclnding games of the season, which
will be played at Piedmont.
Too much can hardly be said In praise
of the playing of the Atlnntn team In
Memphis. Hid Hmlth la decidedly at home
behind the bat. and says that he han. the
confidence there which he alleges he has
larked—though his playing haa certainly
not shown It—on third base. Fox Is the
same old Jim on first. Jordan has been
doing marvelous fielding at second, and
Ills base running was the star feature of
Tuesday’s game. Morse has been playing
stendlly and efficiently at abort. Hoffman
has done «ven better at third than he did
at second, and that Is saying a bunch.
Ills fielding has not suffered at nil by com
parison with Charley Babb. Evers has
done nicely In centerfleld, and his hit
ting Is what took the starch ont of Mem
phis In Monday's game. As for Crosier
and Winters, well, they are always there
with safe and sure fielding and hard hit
ting. The pltchern are working well, and
altogether things aro looking up.

ATLANTA TAKES ANOTHER
FROM BABBLERS AT HOME
League Standings
Sid Smith, of South Carolina,
Latest Hero Among Sports
By PERCY WHITING.
Special to The Georgian.
Memphis, Tenti., Aug. 23.—The Atlanta
team, which has heretofore this season I*eeu
the cluehlest sort of proposition for Mem
phis, put the concluding touches on a large
pastel of, revenge Wednesday afternoon by
walloping the Babblers b^r the score of 3 to
0 and winning the third game out of four
played In the series.
Sidney Smith, the willing worker, waa
the tfhole ahow for Atlanta. This youug
man, who played such a good game at
third that he couldn't be used .beh-'nd the
bot until Archer ltecame hurt and Evers
got In bnd form, performed brilliantly. His
throwing to second Wednesday was by far
the best seen In the Southern League this
year.- He flnug down four men trying to
steal and got assists on two other plays
by nice strong-arm work.
Then again—Atlanta’s first run came in on
Sid's hit nhd a double steal In which he
figured. His three-bagger brought In an
other run and enabled him to score.
Harley pitched a good game but brilliant
shpport saved his life several times. Morse
played n phenomenal game at shortstop,
•cooping up sure kits time after time.
Twice the bases were filled right Jam-up
—once with iioIhmIj out—but brilliant lufleld
work cut off ruus.
Atlanta's run* came like this:
Fourth Inning—Hid Hmlth singled to cen
ter. Morse sacrificed. On Hoffman's out,
Hmlth went to third. Jordan walked.
Smith tallied on double steaj.
Eighth Inning—Winters popped out Cro-
*!er bunted and got to third on Lelbhardt'a
wild throw. He scored on Sid Smiths
triple. Morse walked. Hoffman (rnundemt
to third and on Babb's error Smith s.-or^i

Post-Season Series Sure
Between Two N. Y. Clubs
By Private Leased Wire.
Now York, Ang. 23.—It hts been set
tled that the Giants and Yankees will play
a post-season aeries for the championship
of New York, To the sporting editor of
The Evening Journal, Frank Farrell, pres
ident of the Yankees, writes:
"I am very desirous of having the Yan-
, frees and Giants play a series of games
this season. I should want the games
! played under the mien that govern the
i world's championship aeries, and under the
i direction of the national commission,' the
[aeries to be for a permanent trophy era-
'Mimatic of the championship of Manhat
tan. I want It distinctly understood that
I will not wager a dollar on the result.
My associates In the American League are
opposed to betting on baseball, and I myself
think the sport might suffer If the Inter
ested parties bet on the games. I will
meet Mr. Brush to complete nrrangemgnts
for the aeries at hla convenience."
To this, Mr. Brush replies:
"I certainly favor a post-season series
between the Yankees and the Giants under
national commission rules, and, according
to the suggestion of Mr. Farrell, contingent
upon neither elub finishing first in its
respective league.”
This ought to settle It »
Roosevelt Has Been Invited
To See Nelson-Gans Battle
By Prtvata Leased Wire.
Goldfield, Kav„ Aug. 23,-It waa mads
practically certain that there would be no
hltcb to prevent Joe Gens and Battling
Nelson from entering the ring on time on
Labor Day when both the fighters reported
■ today that they had made the required
weight, 133 pounds. In the case of Nelson
there was nothing surprising about this, but
It had not been expected that the Baltimore
fighter would reach the figure so easily. In
'fact, Gana did not pot himself under any
great strain to make hla mark, and found
that It was only the. result of hla regular
training that put him there.
The easy training that Gana underwent
to roach the 233-poond mark haa been some
what surprising. BUI Nolan, the Rattler's
manager, was very sanguine that Gene
would not succeed In getting down to the
required weight, and when making the deal
for the Dene to meet him waa much con
cerned about this matter.
The weather was so cool end nice today
after the rain and halt etorm of yesterday
that Gana did aU of hla work outdoors. In
the early morning be had a wrestling match
with a frisky burro. He had a lively time
and displayed great agility In dodging the
heels of the long-eared animal that showed
a decided disinclination to doss with the
pugilist.
After this Gana ran 100 yards with the
champion 72-year-old sprinter of Nevada,
and waa lngloriously beaten by the length
of the old man's flowing whiskers. Gans
vii fn a gay mood and seemed to enjoy
these antics. About 0 o'clock he went for his
road run and cantered out for 4H miles and
berk without apparent effort. He strikes
a loping gait and keeps It up for a mile or
two Uke a horse. He wears a cap, a heavy
awentt-r. khaki trousers and carries a heavy
stick that he might have borrowed from
the president of the United Htatea. Ilia
Weight stays at 133.
Following :ne**nge Is mid to have been
•ent to President Roosevelt:
M Goldfield extends to you a cordial luvl-
tatlon to attend the Nelson Gans contest
for tho lightweight championship of the
world, to l-» held Id Goldfield Labor Day.
The rltlxens of Goldfield having conquered
the desert and made of the kind of staff
that makes men ^i.durn to win In any at rug-
g , look upon this contest as a batUs
worth traveling thousands of mites to see.
Imbued with that spirit of stnrdlness which
makes the argonaut, they view the ap
preaching event ns an exemplification of
that determination of purpose and aggres
siveness of spirit that so dominantly char
acterises the American race, and which has
In a great measure conduced to the ad<
vancemeut of our beloved country.

The latest hero In the sporting world
Is the chubby Houth Curolinnn, Hid 8m!th,
Who neems to have 'struck the gait of his
life during the past four days.
Hid bus played the most Important part
hi the winning of the last three games
of the Memphis series.
Hla work Iiehlud the bat has been su
perb, nnd just one base has been stolen
off film In three games. He has thrown
out seven men trying to steal In the three
games. Ills stick work has cut a most
conspicuous figure In nil three game*
As a utility player. Smith la one of the
beat In IMxle. I-nst year, when with
Charleston, he played every position on the
team except thnt of pitcher, nnd he thluks
there nre now worse twlrlers in the South-
rn League than he would be.
It Is n funny thing that Smith thinks
he Is n poor third baseman, aud doesn't
want to piny the position. It Is true
thnt he Is not n Bradley or even a Babb,
but tils work nt tho last corner, taken
day In nnd day out. Is far above the
Southern League average. But Smith says
never feels certain of himself at third,
never loses a certain nervousness, and Is
always fearing a disastrous bobble.
He prefers catching to playing any other
posltlop. It looks ns though that 1s his
forte.

SHUSTER SAVES
PELICANS AGAIN
That Knvnnnugh-Frnnk-HhuBter clique haa
got under full steam again. Wednesday In
New Orleans, after Montgomery and the
lYtlcaus had played a fifteen-inning contest
nnd Montgomery hnd score4l three run* In
her end of the sixteenth, this Imports tool
of Charlie Frank allowed Jakey Ats, the
human phonograph, to kick until he saw fit
to stop, and then called the game on ac
count of darkness.
When Shuster called the game big Domi
nick MuUnney made a break for the at
legetl Judge of play, but. according to the
press reports, some one held the big mans-
»*r.
This la exactly what happened-here In At
lanta when the local* were playing Nash
ville. B. Smith made a break for the umps,
whose decisions carry with them the odor
of an antiquated cabbage. Shuster, not
satisfied* with robbing the Crackers of the
game, returned to hi* hotel and wired a
deliberate falsehood to Kavanaugb, stating
that Manager Smith had struck him. Hhn*
ter will probably turn the same trick ou
Mullnuey this time.
That stunt pulled off Wednesday wasn’t
directly against Atlanta, but It was playing
right In t4* fw Frank's ft»xy fists.
The attention of the fans Is called to the
fact that Hhuater has for more than a
month Iwcn iltrected to follow' the New Or
leans team and Judge the garnet In which
that club played. Four ilnya after Shuster
demonstrated here In Atlanta hi* ability;

Of tyrant Greed against the shortened hour
* ' * * wage of Labor. Look to It
» you ere you ask for more.
T HE nltove lines, written by me nnd
published In the Sunday American
•mne months ago. have called forth
several criticisms nnd protests, some
kindly In Intent, some meant unkindly,
from working people nnd their defenders.
All these protests Imre Iwen made from
a mistaken point of view. No one living
believes more fully In the shortening of
the hours of labor than the writer of the
lines quoted.
I work frequently fifteen hours ii day.
But I work for myself nnd because I like
my work. I have no employer. That makes
nn entirely different thing of labor.
Eight hours a day are quite enough for
continuous work of any kind. Most em
ployers, heads of bmduess bouses nnd capi
ta lists, who have the money-making fever
work more than that. But they rilso work
for themselves. No one can find fault
or discharge them or dock their wage If
they happen to lie late or take a holiday.
To be compelled to go to work nt a certain
hour nnd to remain until a presort lmd time,
ns has already been stated. Is quite an
other story.

As I come of a long-lived race on two

their deafening roar and flying dust, where
I have seen women working ten nnd twelve
