WHITING ■THEN CLEAR TRACK FOR FOOTBALL CRACKERS STILL FIGHTING TO GET IN SECOND PLACE It look* Ilk* third place for Atlanta. But at that, second la among the re mote possibilities. To land second Atlanta will have to win say 6 of the 8 games to be played this week, while Memphis must lose live out of the seven she Is due to play. The former proposition Is a cinch, but the latter Is not so easy. Atlanta ought to win the six out of eight nil right, bat It It doubtful It Memphis will lose live out of seven. If Atlanta gets running In good order and takes all eight games this week then she has a better chance, of course. For If the Cracker* make a clean sweep and Memphis wins only four out of the seven, Atlanta would finish In second place. So there Is a chance, even though It Is pretty remote. The Shreveport team arrived this GOOD SCORES FORJVERETT BROKE 134 TAR0ET8 OUT OF 180 AND 8HOT WELL IN EV- ERY EVENT. The regular weekly aboot of the At lanta Gun Club waa. held Saturday at Lake- wood. With the exception of the scores of Everett, tbe abootlng waa not quite na good aa uaual. Evans made a 22 and llnunlcutt a 21. but outalde of Everett’a, these were tbe beat. Everett broke 134 out of 150. and made one 2t Tbe acorea follow: morning from Montgomery on the 11:40 or thereabouta. and tho players are ready for the four games scheduled for the first three dAys of the week. On Tuesday a double-header will be played with the Pirates. John Fox, the pitcher who was pretty badly bumped Saturday, when he made his debut, will be given another trial. "Fox was not In good condition for that game," says Manager Smith. "He had not had a ball In his hands for about a week and was In no shape to pitch. I think I will try him again against Shreveport." Spade la not expected to report this season. The Sally League? Is In bad condition and will not show* up. This la "reporting week" for most of the college football teams In the Houtb, and by next Monday most of the big teams will lie bard at work. Out at Tech, the men are due to put In an appearance September 13, though It Is not likely that anything strenuous will be done this week. Th4 practice during the first week or two will lie of the lightest character, ow ing to the extreme heat and the fact that the caudJdntes for positions on the team are mostly soft and In need of something which will harden their muscles to stand the rough work of regular practice. By the end of this week, the momentous question of "Who's coining back?" will be settled. This Is always a matter of Inter est for around a nucleus of "old men" practically all successful football teams SOUTHERN FOOTBALL TEAMS WILL REPORT THIS WEEK STAR GOLFER IN ATLANTA Andrew Msnien, of Dsrlen, Os., twin golf champion of ths South, and Tin pres ident of the Southern Golf Association, wn» In Atlanta today on his way from Dnrlen to Memphis, whsr* ho will play In the Invitation tournament which beftne there this week. Mr. Mansen will be back it the end of tide week, nnd will then pity the new Io cs I course. It le doubtful If Atlanta will ho repre sented at the Memphis tournament. At far as can he laaroad, nos* of the local player* trill b* abl* to get stray for tho affair. NAVY 'TUGS’ New York, Sept. 10.—The pugilists In the United State* navy are evidently stirred up by the challenge printed re cently from "Rollins, the champion of the navy." Eh M. McCook, boiler maker at the United States navy yard, Brooklyn, thinks he has It on Rollins and wants to fight him for 81,000. McCook Is quite a formidable speci men of manhood. Ha Is only 0 feet 8 Inches tall, but Is well built and has had plenty of opportunity to teat his flstlo ability among hla seagoing com panions. BEATS AUTO RECORD. San Francisco, Cal, Sept. 10.—Tho automobile record from New York to Ban Francisco was again lowered when R. H. Little, C. O. Ilagerty and three assistants arrived here. They crossed the continent In 34 days. 8 hours and 48 minutes This beat the old record almost nine days. 8CENES AT THE BRIGHTON TRACK.

In a game punctuate*! with twenty-throe bits nml enlivened by three enter taining errors Atlanta downed the Mistakes Saturday nfteruoou by a score of 6 to 2. Jim Fox's long brother John was the opening alabater for Atlnnta, but he is not at hla beat nnd nfter roughing up seven hits lu three innings, he retired In favor of Hporka. The Mississippi Midget was In fine form, and did not let Zlin- mcr'a lobsters score. Allen, who defeated Atlanta by n acore of 1 to 0 last time ho pitched, proved not very puxxffrqr, nnd the Crackers, with {trinity nci except/on, ran their hatting average! up a point or two. Wallace knocked out n couple of two-hnggers nnd n single, nnd Bid Hmlth, Jim Fox and Morse were right there with the willow. The acore: League Standings 80UTHERN. ' "AII.anta— Ali.lt. It. l'».

The big event of the present week will be the opening of the new course at Ea*t Lake—a courae which prom ises to be far and away the beat in the South. This ev#nt takas place Satur day and local golfers will have a couple of days to get used to the new round before the qualifying round for the Trawick cup is splayed. 1 The annual Trawick^ tournament Is tho star event In the lbcal golf world. The cup offered this season is an un usually handsome one; and the com petition for It is likely'to be decidedly keen. W. P. Hill and F. G. Byrd are regarded as the most dangerous candi dates though several other players stund a fair show. For the second cup the race Is likely to be decidedly open, and in the third lllght—the duffers’ division—It would be a brave man who would try to pick the winner, oven after the qualifying round was finished. The new course promises to be In fairly good condition by opening day. F. G. Byrd, chairman of the golf com mitted, and Superintendent Picketing have been rushing the work with a large force of men. and ulrendy the holes on the far side of the lake are In fairly good- condition. On opening day all of the regular green, with the exception of the second, fourth and part of the eleventh, will be thrown open and the course In use at present will be put out of commission. must h« Built And usually the an*nu week tell, tbe gtory. ml * From appearances now, Tech will bit. back conugb old men to make a til •tart, though some of the most members of her last year’s team mil 7 among tho missing.

Jordan singled am) stopped nt first Jim Fox sent the bull down between first nnd nec'iiid, and Jordan rau Into It. That put Jordan out nnd gave Fox n hit. Fox was then out stealing. * Wallace followed with n two-bagger, but went out trying to steal third. The first half of the ninth Inning closed with an unusual double—from short to first base to catcher. Ztmmnr ami Allen, the first men up In that Innlug, singled, Dougins went out, third to first. Then came Gil bert, who hit a grounder to Morse. Whltey threw him out at first end Fox slammed the ball home, catching Ztmiuer on hla way. to the plgte. Tom Hughes* comment on the piny was that Zimmer ought to have put himself out of the game for trying to come home on that hit. Muybe be did. But as the game was over then, It was hard to tell White was caught off first very nicely by John Fox, who threw to Brother Jim. White was asleep. * Sleeping during the gnuie teems to l>e chronic with the Travelers. Might call them the Dreamers. Otto Jordan just missed a nice double In the third Inning. When White hit him hot gmuuder, Bird was advancing from first to second ou the play. Otto slamtued at Bird with th% ball, apparently touched him, and then threw White out at first Imiso. "Buddy,’’ however, decreed that Bird waa safe. That must have been what ruined Otto’s Imposition, for later In tbe game he was put out for quarreling with lludderbam. When Winters stole bis base In the eighth, the pitcher had the bn!! In hla bands, and never even attempted to throw to second. Over-anxiety and nervousness hare mar- nil McCay’s work with the Travelers, lie was trying a bit too hard. However, this will wear off liefore the season end*— and that event happens Saturday. Douglas Is the liest man on tbe Little Rock team. Barring the pitchers, he is worth all the other players pu^ together- on their recent showing* at any rate. Hrndy, Keith and Allen would he winning pitcher* with a halfway decent team. Brady Is a first-class mnu, and the other two would come with the right kind of training.

SATURDAY'S EVENTS. By TAD. New’ York, Sept. 10.—The repreaen- tntlvea of Abe Attell und Terry McGov ern met nt the Metropolitan Saturday to arrange for a ulx-rourid battle to be fought In Philadelphia. They could not agree on weight ao the meeting fell through. For over a year Attell haa been yell ing his head off about fighting bigger men than himself. He haa anld that McGovern forfeited $1,000 to him at Fort Erie aome year* ago becauae Ter ry was afraid to meet him. Only three months ago Attell came out and toaaed a deft at Joe Gans saying that he want ed to fight for the lightweight cham pionship and If Joe would weigh In at 133 Abe would fight him. He fought Nelson at catch weights and offered to meet Britt the same way. Saturday he would not meet McGovern unless Terry scaled 126 pound*. Very strange how theae young men suddenly change their Ideas. In the future Attell can "holler" his head off about scraps. ’ oung Corbett things It'a all a Jolly w» in they say that Jockeys and light en, are bad tippers.
