which was Me lower. Saturday there was a
decline of 4c, while In the late trading
the best bid was at 60«4c. Some factors de
clined to sell at the reduction. The ten
dency Is to seek a lower level, though
prices will not likely go below 60e. Prices
are being manipulated and the real demand

SOUTHERN BELL WINS SERIES.
Special to The Georgian.
Royston, On., Sept. .3.—Tho Royston
Rompers went down before the strong ag
gregation corralled by the Southern Bell
Telephone nnd Telegraph Company team In
the third game of the series Saturday by
the score of 6 to 5. It was a snappy con-
'test, and with the. exception of tiro In
nings , there was little doing In the scoring
Une, four runs being made by Royston In
the first Inning nnd five by the Southern
Bell crowd In the third Inning. Twc
rors, one base on halls, a hit batter, cou
pled with three opportune hits off Brown,
scored tbe five runs.
Both pitchers wore Jn fine form, although
Brown hod pitched and won the firat game
of the series, nnd deserved by his pitching
to hive won Saturday. The batteries wsro

fltte.
This winds up the season here, and It
has bsen a very good one for Royston.
as they won n good majority of thto games
played and went up against some of the
strongest amateurs In this section. Ths
playing was done mostly by homo boys,
very few' hired men being used. The team
hns been fortunate In having Conch Stouch
with them for about two months to de
velop the material, nnd well did he show
his ability. Home of the players had
never played tn a niatch game before this
year, but were brought out, and played
fine ball. Tbe Roll team played nlco ball,

Monday morning from Its last road trip
of the year, and opens In a La4»or day
double-header against the Memphis team.
The games Inaugurate the final stay nt
home of the Crackers nqd mark the begin
ning of the end of the Southern League
season In Atlanta.
Tbe trip which ended this morning has
been one of the most remarkable of the
year, and one of the •most successful, In
spite of certain unfortunate Incidents In
the Crescent City—the home of the rubber
ball and other things too numerous and
too sultry to mention.
Any team which can take three out of
four games from Memphis, three out of
four from Little Rock and three ont of
four from Shreveport deserve honorable
mention and a sent or two In,the Hall of
Fame.
The trip hns lK*en played under nil kinds
of handicaps. Archer wns out of tho game
pnrt.of the time. Ho wns Morse. Hoff
man, after being kicked around from one
position to another, was finally Injured
and nearly put out of business. Childs
proved to b6 In no condition to work, nnd
had to be shipped home when pitchers
were especially needed. Evers wns forced
to play the game In an unfamiliar posi
tion. Hid Smith had to stand for n switch
from the catcher’* box to sohrtstop, nnd
after a very short but decldfdly eventful
ezperlence there, wn6 landed on third base.
Take St altogether, the team went up against
It pretty strong, nnd the players acquitted
themselves like diamond heroes.
Now that the team Is hack nt home again,
some good baseball may be looked for.
Though not In the best trim, the Crackers
can always be counted on to play great
ball at Piedmont park, nnd the men on
the team are going to make a first-class
stagger at getting second place cinched.
That $1,663 looks pretty good to them,
and they are nftfr the money find the
credit aa well. •
Every player on the team deserve* a
world of praise for the game he put up
while the team was making the last swing
around the much-dreaded western eud of
Archer hns douo wonderful work be
hind the but. Ills catching has been high-
class, nnd his stick work timely. The
pitchers have all shown fine form. Hughes
hns been the same old steady Tom, who
hns been winning game* for Atlanta all
the season with his fancy curves, great
control nnd fine head-work. Zeller hns
pitched ns good ball ni he has shown at
any time this season.
He seems to have retained nil of his
early knack, and has been ‘'puttin’ ’em
over and tun kin’ ’em hit,” which in tho
secret of any pitcher’s success. Hparks
has done first-class work. In Memphis,
over-engornes« to win cost him a game,
and In Shreveport tho fact that he started
work before ho was well warmed up re
sulted In his being knocked out of the
box. Tho same afternoon, though, he
came back In the second game of the don
ble-hender nnd allowed Hhroveport only a
single hit—and thnt ono after an error had
been made on nn easy fly, which should
have retired the side. Harley has lieen
In rnro form, except In thnt unfortunate
first game In New Orleans, nnd that day
his support was enough to unnerve
Mnthewson or a McOInnlty.
Fox’s work has been the same steady
kind which hns put him lu a class altogeth
er by himself umong the first basemen of
the league, and the same may be said of
Jordan. Morse did good work ta long ns
he stuck to the team, nnd Hoffman showed
unexpectedly good form, both at short
and third—such good form, In fact, that
many fans who saw him play believe thnt
Blly Smith mnde a mistake In not having
him with the team all the aeaaon.
Smith did nice work liehlnd the hat and
at third, And ('rosier nnd Wlnteri have
played their usual faultless game In the
field. Next' to Hoffman, Evers proved the
surprise of the trip. Ills work In center
field has been n revelation, and be has
lieen hitting the ball right ou the trade
mark.
Altogether, the players have done work
which line lieen gilt-edged, nnd Atlanta
has Just cause to be proud of her baseball
team.

BASEBALL GOSSIP
There was probably no more disappointed heavy man ou Atlanta’s side of the boards
person yesterday when the Pelicans threw this afternoon. The “Rube” was somewhat
their batting fit than Percy if. Whiting,
who Is here with the Atlanta team as a
representative of The Atlanta Georgian
Jkfr. Whiting said thnt It wns hard to lose
to New Orleans under any circumstances,
but to lose a game after It had apparently
l>een won waa too much/ He- remained
loyal to bis team to the very Inst, though,
ond finally said he would be satisfied If the
Georgia crowd took the Inst two games.—
New Orleans Times-Democrat.
Hughes, who pitched yesterday, rates as
tbe best man In the Atlanta list. He has a
good baseball head *ud a very good deliv
ery, and should rate up high with a hitting
team behind him. If he had been tip
against tbe same handicap the local pitch
ers have struggled with then he could hnve^
been classed on bis real merits* Thu Peli

fire hits, simply t>ecnusc the team behind
them cannot list.—New Orleans Picayune.

he Is playing In left field for Raton Rouge
and lias been stinging the ball nt a clip

Is fast In the field nnd on tbe bases, ns

The Babblers have not given up all hope
of the pennant. Those three games taken
from the Itnrons have pulled tbe leaders
down a peg. If neither dub gains or loses
until Memphis nnd Birmingham hook up

to pull tbe Barons from their perch.—

New Orleans papers claim that tho Now

$20,000 on tho scaaou. As.tho association Is
generally supposed to bo In liasebsll for tho
money which Is In It, Its backers are to be
congratulated on tbelr success.
However, $20,000 seems to Ik* hilling It
pretty high. That sum Is probably at least
two-tblrds the face value of tbo capital
stock of tho New Orleans club.
And tho attendance at New Orleans has
fallen off this year, according to tho figures
submitted to Judge Kavanaugb.
On appearance there Is more betting done

than at any other point In tho league cir
