 Atlanta Journal "Thats just news paper stuff have not given out any statement about quitting the game next year,, said Red Smith in reference to certain rumors that have been going the rounds of the circuit to the effect that he would retire next fall, pull off double play and return to his old position with an Atlanta traction company
 T haven't decided positively as vet" he continued, q expect to report to Brooklyn after the Southern league season, and if I make good may stay With them for year or two. From a pecuniary view this would be the best thing for me. However, if I am farmed back to the bushes or some out of the way place there is a chance that I may quit the game. I have never told any one positively that I would quit next season."
 New Orleans Item: Where's that slump?
 All signs of one had disappeared last night when the Pels piled on their Pull- man for a run down here for this afters noon's bargain matinee.
 The Pels have done just about as well since leaving here as a team could be expected to do under the circumstances. They have won three and lost two. IF they can keep up that average through the rest of this July road campaign they can count the pennant won.
 It is not the mere fact that they won more than they lost in the weeks play. though. that is interesting. It is that they won the majority just at time when even the majority of the home fans were looking for a slump The Pels hadn't done very well the last week at home and had started on the road loser.
 A still more delightful feature is that they won two of those three from the Bilikens, the team that has threatened very seriously to take their lead away from them. They have an excellent chance this afternon if the weather per- mits two games.

SPORTING NEWS
 AND LIVE GOSSIP FROM EVERYWHERE

We desire this morning to congratu- late the Constitution on procuring the services of Fuzzy" Woodruff in the capacity of sporting editor.
 In our opinion there is no one who has an edge on the beloved vaga- bond" in dishing baseball lore over the platter of the fan flock.
 And while we are congratulating we feel inclined to extend a stiff right hand to Bert Maxwell. Yesterday aft ernoon he pitched an excellent game against the Lookouts and his fast ball, 1t is recorded. jumped foot and more as 1t neared the plate.
 Striking out 12 stickers Is a pret- ty difficult task on any occasion, an1 1t is especially difficult when the stick CTS in question happen to be as good at the punch as the following of 5. Smith.
 Covaleskie, strange to relate, can not handle the Barons for Chatta- nooga as he handled Chattanooga last season for the Barons.
 The Hurling Hun has met the Barons on three occasions this season. While he was beat on each occasion, Tn Justice to him 1t should be stated that he would have won the first game had Murch not gone to sleep on the bases
 But on the other occasion he was clearly outpitched and deserved to lose. Covaleskie has as much stuff as any other finger in the business, but he can't win this season as regularly as he won last year.
 We regret to report that New Or leans has again assumed such lead that it will be wonderful if any club overtakes them this season.
 Montgomery was weighed in the bal ance and found wanting.
 Sunday week when the Billikens won double header from the Pels and when the Barons followed with two victories in three trials against them there was hope that the Billikens would do something really worth l while. But To! they fell down.
