With the coming of aunset the parting salute will ho Ural, the pennants of 1902, 1903, 1904, 1906 and 1906 will be run down the flng roles and packed In camphor. And when they fly on the breeie again there will be another, labeled— CHAMPIONS OP 1907 BIRMINGHAM and It will fly through the smoky atmos phere of the Alabat .a metropolis. Not until night fa'le will the fans of At lanta and Memphis know which of their tesms coptured that bitterly contested sec- oud place. Both teams have made a gallant fight and all honor to tho winner end the loser, whichever It la. The Southern League seasou which Is now passing Into history baa been one of the beat and moat prosperous that tho league has ever kuowu.

And eurU section has had the same numbers of good, bad nnd Indiffer ent ,drnwlug cards. In many ways the season lina been sensa tional. The rubtter ball Incident, the Cas tro deal, tho passing of Newt Fisher, the attacks on 'President Kavanaugh, the charges and counter-charges have combined to make the summer of 1906 full of exciting Incidents. One thing which has nindo the season no table has been the number of flrst-cloaa players developed from tho new material men like Nleholla, Byrne, Absteln, Lleb- hnnlt, Oyler, Jim Fox, nnd Maxwell—hod the number of atari of past seasons who Jute* been at iheir beat th)a . year—Brel ten stein.

Crackers Won First Game; Over-Eagerness Cost Second FIRST GAME ATLANTA 5. NEW 0RLEAN8. 0 SECOND GAME ATLANTA 1. NEW ORLEANS...! 2 Tbe seml-flnal day of the* Southern League season In Atlanta was one of mixed joy aud sadness—for Atlanta wou the first game aiul lost the second of the double-header with New Orleans—aud dropped out of second place lu conse quence. Tbe Crackers won the first game by playing little ringlets around the proud Pel icans. Watt was swatted on numerous occasions and with direful results for New Orleaha, while Tom Hughes added nnother to bis long list of victories by the same variety of twirling which has made him the premier pitcher of the league during 1906. Timely batting by Jordan, Wallace, Winters and a hnnt by Crosier netted At lanta’s run*. The second game gave rise to some of the most jngged fielding the locals have put up this year. The Crackers Were filled with n double and twist**! determina tion to take the gnnie, and In consequence they made nilsplnya through overea- geraces. Not a man on the team shirked or did anything but Ills best. But It Just happened that their best wasn’t so very good. John Fox pitched every Inning hut the last. Aud If he had had the support ac corded Hughes be would have blanked the Pelicans. Tbe. two runs were made after two “punkertno" errors had l*een performed, oud the runs cuttie through no fault In the second half of the eighth inning.

This statement was obtained from President Amerlne of the local association today. Not only this, Mnllnney will not be on the local squad If there Is a chance to swap hlui off. Mull did not make good with the associa tion or the fans, and the Wat association Is determined to get nnother manager.

This Mullaney denied. President Amerlne states positively Mont gomery will be In the league next year. He aaya Montgomery will not support a high- priced team. He atatea that the association lost money this year and last year about broke even. He believes that If the attend ance had kept up the latter part of the season ns It did the first Montgomery would have made money. He aaya no move has yet been made to select a new manager, but that there would be soon, lie stated that every player this year wpa on the re serve list, nnd that with one more catcher, two Infleldcrk and nn outfielder Montgomery will be ready ne*t season. The Montgomery association will back Judge Kavanaugh for president again, so states President Ameriue, Manager Mulla- ney stnted toduy that he was going to Bn- rnnnnh and did not Intetul to come back to Montgomery. He says be Intends to play ball again next season, but will not land In this burg again, lie may take the manage ment of the Savannah or Jacksonville teams. Mullaney Is a splendid first base man nnd Is a hard hitter. Only two of the players will remnla In Montgomery when the season breaks up, nnd they are John Malnrky, the genial nnd ever ready pitcher, nnd Link Btlckney. Ills home Is at Springfield, Ohio. After the game breaks up this afternoon the ball players will be ready to go to their homes. Mullaney goes to Bnvnnnnh, W. G.

Guess he'll do for next sea- At a meeting of the enthusiastic lovers of Atlanta and the vicinity held at the Kimball house Friday the Cotton States Kennel Club was organized f or the purpose of holding an annual bench show and to further Interest and so. clablllty among dog fanciers of th. South. H. F. Rells was unanimously elected temporary chairman and H. II King" ston. Jr., temporary secretary and treasurer. Those present at the meeting were' H. F. Hells, Judge J. S.

Flvj silver trophy cups were offered and en- thuslasm ran high. A meeting was called for Thursday evening, September 27, at 6:an, at ths Kimball house, and every lover of the dog Is not only Invited, but urged by the officers of the C. S. K. C. to be present and demonstrate the "Atlanta spirit” by helping make the coming bench show ’a howling success. A resolution of thanks was passed to Mr. Zimmer for the use of a room. EVERY MAN RESERVED EXCEPT RICHARD CR0ZIER Manager Billy Smith has prepared his reserve list and on It are sixteen men. . . 1 The only notable absentee Is Richard Crosier, who will be released tonight at his own request. Crozler feels that he haa played with Atlanta long enough, and that he will do better work elsewhore. No man In the league has ever played harder, more consistent, more gentlemanly ball than Dick Crozler, and It Is with the deepest regret that the fans learn that he will not be with Atlanta next sea son. One of the sixteen men on the list— James Archer—has been drafted. He Is reserved, however, as a matter of form, though he goes to Detroit for a try-out In the spring. Every man on the team, with the ex ception of the two named above, has been reserved. So also has Bugs Ray mond, who has been with Savannah this season, and who has been turned over to Atlanta for another try next spring. Jack Bracken and E. B. Dun lap, who did not report this spring, and “Doc” Childs, who now stands sus pended. With the 1906 team Intact, with the exception of Tom Hughes, Jimmy Archer and Dick Crozler, Manager Smith has jno very difficult task In picking a bunch of winners for next year. Sunday afternoon Manager Billy will leave for Dayton, Ohio, where he goes to look over some Control League ptay- <KKKKKHJO<KHJO<KHJO<HJOO1JO0<KH3 O THE RESERVE LIST. § o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o Sid Smith, catcher. •James Archer, catcher.

Jockeys Make Money But They Have Their Troubles By J. S. A. M’DONALD. New York, Sept. 16.—Nowadays you can be something other than nn Insurance com pany president and yet njtret the pn«t. •Mark’’ Martin, for lustnuce, keenly rues the hour and the day when he rode Foun- talnlileu In the Flnthunh stake* running of September 8. Fountalnbleti went to the poat a tremendously well supported fa vorite, nnd he finished In the ruck, Itenten twenty lengths by DeMund, Ballot, Dtnna Ken nnd other youngsters he hnd tow- roped at HarnUntn. The race wna run In •lower pnee than the work given Fountain- bleu for the event two days previously. "Diamond Jim" Brady, the tnnn who gnv up 325,000 for the son of Oddfellow, almost suffered n fit after the flulsh, while Trnluet Mat" Allan wanted to "go to" Martin on sight. \ In the meantime, thousands of close observers of the running of the Flnthmdi stakes nnd good Judges of 2-yenr-old form, put Martin on the griddle aud he has been toasting and stxsling there ever since. "Willie" Shaw gave Electioneer, tbe Fu turity winner, n growsntue ride In the Flat bush, too, the colt’s owner, •’Billy" lake land, becoming so enraged the Jockey’s friends hnd to escort tbe rider from the course after' the day's racing. Ho hot l>e- cnnie the shot from the press and public that lK>th the riders are out with nn an nouncement of their retirement from the •addle nt the close of the current senson. A local writer estimates Martin's wealth at 3250.0W ns the result of eight years’ service In the silks, which qienns that Ids Income nversges nl*out 332,000 a year. But that could not l*e S4», for during «Jie first three years of his. riding, while under serv ice to Alex Shields nt Chicago, Martin re ceived not much more that) his mere keep. There must have been seasons here In the past when he garnered ns much ns 360,000- faet which occasions a pretty line of reflection nnd makes one stand io wonder at the great gome this horse racing builmf has Itertmie In recent years. Apart from the wonderful Incomes of the foremost Jockeys, the thought of tbe to!- time of betting In the ring on every day of the racing season about New York may occasion a thrill of surprise. On Hatunlay, September 8, when the Ftathnsh stakes and the Century stakes were contested, 40,000 racegoers crowded the grandstands nnd the lawns nt Hheepahead bay. Over 26,000 of them paid the admission of $3# the L office receipts on tbe day being o\ 000 all told. A conservative estimate the betting market on the seven rs run thnt day Is put nt 3250,000.
