They are running it on liberal

street car service to It.
1t might be possible that the
franchise would fall into the hands
of somebody who would treat the
fans better. But it would have to
be proved. And as a year-in-an
year-out owner of the franchise the

as officials of the Atlanta Baseball
association this year. 1t has been
a tough job. Under their pledge
to the public when they took the
positions, they have not interfered
with either manager. They saw
Charley Hemphill run everything
entirely contrary to their notions
of how it should be run-and they
held their peace. They said he
should be manager in fact as we'll
as in name and he was. He made
failure of it-but the fault cant
be laid at their door.
They stuck to their word, gave

positions next year, and IL there
has been a word Of regret spoken
because Of this fact it has not

A MOTHER reason why the pres
ent season will not, in the
long run, prove to be a total loss
is because 1t led to the securing NJ
Bill Smith as manager for 1918 and
1914. Bill seems to fit into the To-
cal job. He likes the city. The
fans like him. He has succeeded
here-as two pennants In four
years testify.
So, all in ALL maybe the season
wasn't such a total loss as the
present standing Of the club seems
to indicate.
There is, at least, next year 10

Out Of the shattered remains Of
the best team that ever finished
last" Bill Smith will develop a
framework around which he can
build a strong team.
There are some corking players
left-Agler Alperman, HARRISON,
Bailey, Price, Becker and the rest.
Under Smiths management they
will be winners.
The best thing now is to forget
the horrible past. Ten years from
now nobody in the world can tell,
without consulting a guide, where
Atlanta finished in 1912. Three
months hence almost everybody
will have forgotten. And the flu
ture stretches away as handsomely
as ever.
Maybe Atlanta will have a per-
nant winner next year-who
knows?

TOMORROW's baseball games
puts the final period on the
Southern leagues baseball
season of 1912. And, as the chill
dren say, it's good radiance to
bad rubbish"
It's been a sorry season.
But yet it hasn't been a total loss.
z OR one thing, this sea son has
proved to the South and to the
baseball world what really cork
ing good baseball town Atlanta is.
With a team that has been at the
bottom virtually all the season,
with a club that for most of the
year was handled by a bull head
ed manager who took every op-
portunity to antagonize the public.
and during a season which for va
rlous reasons, notably a presiden-
tial campaign, has been a hard
one on many amusement enter
prises, the fans have fiocked stead
lily to Ponce DeLeon. They have
shown their gameness and their
interest in baseball in way that
has been impressive.
HERE'S another angle. A year
ago this time the Georgia Rail-
way and Electric Company was
keen to sell the baseball club.
They didn't say so. but they were
in such receptive mood that it
was touching,
