Astro the Seer Solues a Dynamite Mystery

By ALAN BRAGHA MPTON
The Birmingham age-herald., 1908-06-08

Montgomery, June 7.-(SpeciaL )-Proba- ply by the time this letter is printed Manager Ryan will have requested waiv- e1s on Pitcher Bergman and Utility Man Hassett, which will reduce the team enough to make way for some good play CTS that are expected from big league territory. The purpose of Ryan is to strengthen the Montgomery club in every way possible. and he is especially anxio.s to build up the pitching box, which seems to be little off-color just at this time. It is generally believed that the acquisition of Hart has been a great help to the team. In several ways this is a fact. For instance, he is not only a good catcher but first-class first baseman, and in case there should be any break down in the infield Baxter could pc shifted and Hart put in his place. For d while, at any rate, Baxter can play most anywhere in the inner circle.
 Taking a general view of the club, It of itself in the Southern league. Baxter is making an ideal first baseman. Perry. IS reducing his flesh and getting little better eye on the ball, while big Ed Gremnger is making a good steady rec ord at third. Pope is a sensational player and, although he is little more than a kid, if he keeps up the gait he has been going, he will land in the big league before two more years. This is not the opinion of the writer, but that of an expert baseball man who has watched the young fellow play so far this season. He has speed, enthusiasia, average juds-

Ven0na He Smallesf BOat
 Wins M Exciting Race

Hamilton, Bermuda, June With her starboard rail under water and driving under three lower sails in a 2O-knot breeze, the Venona. owned by George E. Bliss of Boston, and carrying the flag of the East Yacht club, crossed the finish line at 3:S4 o'clock this afternoon, win ming, in class c, in the race from Marble head to Hamilton, the start of which was made shortly after Il a. m. last Wednesday.
 When the Venona crossed no other con- testant was in sight. The elapsed time was 99 hours 32 minutes 15 seconds, and the corrected time 9S hours F minutes and 15 seconds.
 The yenona is the smallest boat in the fleet, and Captain Bliss and his crew were delighted with her victory. They account for the fine run by their keeping well to the eastward on Thursday and Friday, so that they picked up the southeast gale last night and ran for the island with slaeked sheets.
 The little yachts best run was 193 miles from noon on Saturday to noon Sunday, and the only accident she ex-

 las made any great record since he joined the local team, still he is playing fairly good ball and getting in his hits more regularly than he did at first. Persons is holding his own, while Shannon is still making good as catcher, although he has tumbled down once or twice with ,n the past few weeks. The pitchers box needs help Cristall is trying hard, but 6oes not seem to be able to hold the crowd down. The only thing that has kept him this long is the fact that he is a southpaw, and every club likes to have southpaw on the list. Ryan has had some little trouble with Val. Anda, but it Is understood that the matter has been sdjusted and that the heavy-set young Iltcher is going to do better work from now on than he has ever done before. Bergman made flash and looked like q find, but he does not seem to be fast enough for this company. Thomas is improving in health very rapidly at Hot Springs and should be back In the game by the last of next week. He will be a great help and go long ways toward covering up the deficiency in the box. Pliss is doing fairly we'll, but he doas not seem to be able to stack up with some of the others. However. he has tie confidence of the management, and the chances all are thai he will ma9e one of the best pitchers of the season.
 Taken as a whole. the fans are ve y n1uch pleased with the work of the boys up to this time. The hard luck stocy was not brought out until recently, and it does really seem as if there was good reason for it. However, the management assures the public that whatever weak less now exists will soon be eliminated

Franks birds. after defeating Mont gomery in a 12-inning game yesterday afternoon in New Orleans. will return to Birmingham this morning about 'clocx.
 At o'clock this afternoon the Pelcans will be at West End park, where the sec ond game of the Birmingham-New Or leans series will be played.
 It is very probable that Frank will send his veteran southpaw, Theodore Breitenstein, to the slab, and Manager Molesworth will probably select McNeal. Breitenstein, in spite of his age, is hard to beat, and it seems that he is having a second youth. He has won three games this season and dropped but one.
 The New Orleans Montgomery game was an excellent battle, and was ter minated in the twelfth only when Bax- ter made a miserable error attempting to catch Frank Delehanty running to third. The feature of the game was the fast fielding of Shortstop Pope. Man ager Ryan failed to carry out his pro- gramme as to pitching "Whitey Guese, the former Pelican, this probably being due to the fear of the Pretzels' manager that "Whitey would be scared to death facing those with whom he formerly worked. Bliss did fine work, however although, from the following account Jack Ryan outpitched him.
 Mobile outplayed Memphis in all de- partments of the game, and won easily. Hickman was in excellent shape, and managed to keep his hits well scattered. The feature of the game was a triple from Third Baseman Benson to First Baseman Hart. This was the first triple of the season.
 Today the regular programme will be continued New Orleans will return to Birmingham. Montgomery will leap back to Montgomery to meet Memphis re- turning from Memphis. Mobile will re- turn to Nashville from Memphis and en- deavor to wallop the Volunteers again.

 The yachts experienced heavy weather at the start. They passed Highland Light on June at o'clock in the evening, and were in the Gulf stream the following day at Il o'clock in the morn ing. The Venona lost sight of the Mar ehioness, one of her rivals in class C, owned by John B. Crozier of Philadel- phia, late on Wednesday, and saw no other yacht since that time. The sea moderated after crossing the Gulf stream and an easterly gale set in about noon Saturday, but Captain Bliss was enabled to lay a straight course for the finish, and his little craft made a grand run in the last 50 miles. with beam and at top speed.
 The committee boat barely reached the finish line in time to see the winner cross.
 Soon after the Venona finished another yacht appeared on the horizon. It proved to be the sloop Marchioness. She was fully % miles behind the winner. There was great surprise here that the small boats should beat the larger ones. At dark nothing had been seen of the other yachts.

He Tennis Champions
 To Habe IHeiY Innings
BY PERCY H WHITING.

Atlanta, June 7.-(Special. )-The tennis season in the southland opens June 15 with the championship of the Carolnas, and extends without break to July a5, when the South Atlantic championship is decided at Augusta.
 The new features of the southern ten his programme for the year are the new Carolina tournament, never before held, and the change of the location of the Tennessee championship from Nashville to Knoxville.
 The tennis season gets it's southern start at the Sans Souci Country club at Greenville, when the championship of the Carolinas is first fought for. This event starts June 15 and promises to be there, and so, no doubt will Macon and Augusta.
 From the Carolinas event the players will jump to New Orleans, where the Gulf States championship begins June P on the courts of the New Orleans Tennis club This event has usually been held far in advance of all other southern journeys, put lllS year lt hdS peou Sct back in order that it may form part of the southern circuit, which now in cludes over month of continuous ten his.
 Nat Thornton is the holder of the sim gles title in the Gulf States. and it Is likely that the southern champion will go down and take shot at this event, IS he only needs one more leg on the cup to make it his property. Logan and Phelps are the doubles champions. It is announced from New Orleans that they will not defend.
 Among the prominent players who are reported as probable entrants in the Gull States are the Macquiston brothers. doubles champions of Mexico and Texas; Russ and Cresson of Texas, twice Gulf States champions; the Walthall brothers of San Antonio and most famous of all, L. H. Waidner and partner from Chi cago.
 Next comes the Tennessee state cham
The Birmingham age-herald., 1908-06-08

pionship, held June 2s to July at Knox, ville The present Tennessee state cham pion is Cowan Rodgers of Knoxsville, while Day and Farrell of Nashville are the doubles champions. Both titles will probably be defended.
 The fourth event on the list is the greatest of all, the southern champion ship, held the week beginning July on the courts of the Atlanta Athletic club. This event promises to be more success full than ever before. The 10 courts of the club are in tip-top trim, the new clubhouses, s50,0O0 affair, will be opened just in time for the event, and the ac- commodations for visitors will be far and away better than ever before.
 The present southern champions, Nat Thornton in the singles and Grant and Thornton In the doubles, will defend. Thornton is in better condition than ever before in his career and will make a stout bid to put another leg on the big cup. Miss May Logan of New Orleans is the present ladies champion, and Miss Logan and Bland Logan are the mixed doubles champions.
 From Atlanta the tennis forces move on Macon, where the Log Cabin club will entertain them the week of July 13 to 1S Dr. Karl Little of Cincinnati is the present Georgia state champion and will presumably be on hand to defend. He and his partner, Hugh Bates, are the doubles champions of Georgia.
 The windup of the southern tennis sea- son comes with the South Atlantic tourn- ament. which begins at Augusta on the Country club courts July 20 and lasts week. The champions of the South At lantic states are Nat Thornton, singles; Thornton and Sam Williams. doubles; Thornton and Miss Florence Jackson of Atlanta, mixed doubles; Miss Sara Evans, ladies singles. The singles and doubles champion will doubtless be on hand to defend. ..sf
 The winners of the doubles title in the southern championship at Atlanta will again be sent east at the expense of the Southern Lawn Tennis association to play against the eastern and western champions for the doubles championship of America. Grant and Thornton made this trip last year and made credit able showing.
