Atlanta, October 1S.-(Special)-A vastly changed Atlanta lineup will be presented to the fans of the Southern league in 1909 from the one they grew contemptuously familiar with in 1907.
 At least one change in the catching staff, three in the pitching brigade, two or three in the infield and maybe one in the outfield may be looked for.
 Weak batting, along with hard luck, cost Atlanta dearly in the past season and most of the 200 hitters on the team will be cleaned out in favor of better bat ters before next season begins.
 Here is presented all the material thus far announced from which Billy Smith will draw his team for next year:
 catchers-McMurray, H. Smith, Camp bell
 Pitchers-Johns, Maxwell, Viebahn, Cas- tleton. Radabaugh, Schopp, Mckenzie, Att kins Pressey, Griffin, Rodgers.
 Infielders-Fox, Moran, Clayton, Dyer. Wilkes. Tennant, Kirkpatrick, Hale
 Outfielders-Becker, Moran, Winters, Hem.
 Smith may have a few more deals to announce later, but these 26 men Will be about the ones from which the lso9 Crackers will be constructed. Just how the catching staff will be worked out for next year isn't certain McMurray ought to stick. He was hard worker, 260 batter and the teams best base stealer On his pepper alone he IS entitled to a place next year. M smith was picked up toward the end Of last 1 season to fill a gap made almost vacant bv the poor work of Ed Hurlburt. He ] fielded his job well but batted only lSo- 1 He showed no signs of being batter. 1 and will doubtless be given the sack un- 1 less he picks up in that department VIII cent Campbell seems more Of propa- biity. This man flashed into athletic 1 prominence as a halfback on the Wander i bilt team last fall. Then the Cubs signed him and later he was farmed. smith 1 bought him from Charley Murphy and he ought to make good man. He IS | young, lively and good batter.
 Johs on the pitching staff are always uncertain. Castleton is a sure thing. Harry Johns ought to hold his job an 1 other wear Viebahn and Maxwell are promising youngsters, but will have to fight for positions against good lot or new men, Only the first named pair can be regarded as certainties
 If is not improbable that Bill Smith ] will do a wholesale job of cleaning out Tn the infield Weak batting will be the I reason given. Here are the 1908 figures Fox .222. Jordan 223, Wilkes .199 Castro ! 175, Dyer PIP
 Otto Jordan is the only man of that lot who is certain to return. 'otto's batting is not strong, but it is timely and he makes up for any weakness by practically perfect fielding and by his ability as field captain.
 Fox is a problem. Jim's batting is aW- | fully weak, but his fielding showed vast ! improvement last year and his earnest work helps along any team. However it will not be surprising if Jim passes on. He would make a great manager for some team in a smaller league and may end m in some such job
 Castro has already gone from the team and Wilkes will follow him. They are fair tielders but no batters.
 Dyer is also slated for the ak. Local ] fans have been calling for his scalp fo

One hundred more will be put in COM

months
On the Orange line, it is thought that
the present cars will be changed within
a few months. The Newark-Paterso
line is under consideration, and the
Central avenue line cars may be altered
upon the completion of the county
bridge II, Central avenue over the Nor

according to the present plans.
THE Professionalism cars are o
