Now thiit tlu> warn) wcathrr in in our micUt it worn* a not in-
appropriate time to pluck a few hompieta and hurl them around.
Rhetorical flowern are cheap and a man can ahuuf 'em over pret
ty faat these dava without uettinu a L’la*N typewriter arm.
Tina hunch of verbal violet* is for the maiiauera of the .South
ern League linsehall teams and one reason for getting it off our
system now is that we do not*greeToTeel the same wav about if
in mid-season when the diatiiond pilots are coming out one day
with ringing interviews on the tempestuous topics of the hour and
then sneaking over to' the Birmingham or New Orleans paper* the
next and denying the whole thing. Speaking of that,'the sad
dest case of interview denyera in the hunch— liob (iilkes—has
gone to the Cotton States League and the only other real raw of-
fender in the league—well, he may reform.
But, anyway, it is a fine lot of men at the head of the eight
Southern League teams this year—Smith, Vaughn. Dobbs and
Mailarkev in the Hast, and Babb. Frank, Finn and Fisher in the
West.
Billy-Smith is at it for the • *coiid time in Atlanta. Last year
Billy broke into the Southern from the South Atlantic. 'On the
strength of this they called him a bush-lengTOi 1 and ridiculed his
efforts to land the pennant.
!u spite of that Billy stuck strictly to business. He didn't
attempt^tn shinoTura publicity ngent, but Rtnelc strictly to busi
ness. and befoye he had lieen at it two weeks it was evident to the
whole league that Atlanta was going to finish one-two-three for
sure. Billy stirred up more rows and brought on more talk than
all of them put together, but it was all done in the interest of
fair, sipiare baseball anil because he would not stand for any
thing that looked like a crooked deal.
The two veterans of the league are Frank and Finn. There
is a fine pair. too. We are quite likely to call Charley Frank ev
erything in the dictionary during the summer, beginning with bur
glar and murderer and then running on up to something quite
vitrfiolic, but for all that Charley is a good-natured Dutchman and
be is without a shadow of a doubt one of the longest-headed men
in the baseball business today. Finn is another of the old school—
long-licadeiL always pleasant and agreeable ami a idirewd judge
of men and especially ball player*.
Vaughn and Dnlih belong in a little special paragraph by
themselves, for they managed the only teams which finished
ahead of Atlanta last year.
We have “slipped it" to Vuughn and will again, lie took a
lot of depressing looking materinl and won a pennant with it. Aa
to how it happened—well, you can search us. But anyway, he
got away with it and that was nil that Birmingham wanted.
Vaughn proved a good leader of men and a good manager.
The surprise of the league was Babb. A ball player of great
ability, hut without managerial experience, he took the shatter
ed remains of a sixth-rate team, inmlc a ball club out of it and
then made that ball club play its hardest all tile season. And
incidentally, he played the prettiest game at third base that the
Southern League has ever seen.
Two of the managers—Mallarke.v of Montgomery and Tom
Fisher of Shreveport—were with the league last year. Both are
men of the highest class—gentlemen, ball player* ami men who
should make good managers.
dnhnny Dobbs, the ticw Niishville mogul, made a favorable_
impression on hil flrst appearance in league circles at the annual
meeting in Birmingham. He is a clean-cut chap of gentlemanly
appearance and address and seems to know ball plovers und the
game.
If there is anything in having good lenders the Southern
League of 1907 ought to be the best .in the historv of the South.
