NOT NEWS, BUT VIEWS
Atlanta is satisfied with tho bnsebail averages, even if she did
get them one day later than several other cities in the league.
The official count gives Atlanta the leading batter, Sid
Smith; the leading pitcher, TomHughes, and & lot of minor honors.
Smith, with his marvelous showing of .326 in 134 games,
makes cli the other batters look like jokes.
Winters was well toward the top with .287.
Tommy Hughes made monkeys of the other pitchers with
.833 for a per cent. The rest of the bunch traded, with the
“Dutch Boy” of Memphis second. .Zeller was sixth among the
pitchers.

In fielding Atlanta stood right at the top. Raymond and
Harley were way np among pitchers, Fox was fourth among the
first sackers and Jordan led the second basemen who took part
in more than seven games.
As may have been mentioned before in these columns, Atlan
ta did not win 1 the pennant, bu* for all that the publication of the
averages gives a feeling of satisfaction to local faps that maybe
the Birmingham bunch is missing—for the Birmingham stars
did not shine very brightly among the leaders sis shown by the
league’s averages.

LOCAL TEAMS
CANT SCORE
The Christman mornlns football
game at . Piedmont park between the
Atlanta Athletic Club team and a col
lection of stara, headed by Joe Beene,
resulted In a score of zero to zero,
which was appropriate, considering the
weather. •
Both teams played good football,
considering that they had done little or
no practicing and considering that tht
ground was frozen hard and the weath
er was cold, as Greenland.
The line-up follbw,
will have n hard schedule, but that It «!'
comiul with a chance to settle all doubtu
to the supremacy of the East la fo’tiai
and every supporter • of Pensarlvania »e
lleves It will l>e done with the team that
assured for next fall. ,
Chicago will play Minnesota November >
and therefore have tho experience of t»
content with whleb to tackle rennnlramf-
It la thought here that Stagg'e etcrea
be the one to fear, but the Quakori vi^
hare met Michigan and had a taste or »«**
