K|DD|ES THRONG
CITY PLAY PARKS
First Band Concert of the
Summer To Be Given at
Grant Sunday.

Today marked the real opening of the
out of door season for Young Atlanta. Of
course. the swimming pools have been
open for several weeks and the back-lot
baseball has been going on since school
closed. But the play grounds opened to-
day, twelve of them, and that means the
good old summer time is actually here.
What's more. the first band concert
at Grant park will be given next Sunday
afternoon if the park board doesn't strike
a snag at it's meeting Friday The money
has been provided for the summer con-
certs and all the board has to do is choose
band, telephone the leader and tell him
to dig up some of that summary, park
music. There will be concerts every sun
day afternoon and Wednesday night
City Buys New Park Site.
Miss Mary Barnwell, the first woman
play ground director Atlanta has had,
made round of the ten white grounds
and the two for negroes today. The
swings and chutes and merry grounds
were filed with happy kids and the sand
piles were being converted into forts
and castles and rivers just as fast as tiny
hands could do 1t.
Atlanta has another park now since
the council adopted a resolution yester-
day afternoon agreeing to purchase Oar
gan park at Lucille and Dargan streets.
West End 1t is the old J. r. Dargan
home place, or part of ii, tract of three
acres, surrounded by high entertainments
and covered with giant trees. One of the
play grounds is located there. but most
of the tract viii be permitted to remain
just as it is until the board has money
enough for Improvements
It's purchase is just one step toward
providing parks for the future by buying
property now when it is comparatively
cheap and holding it for future develop
ment
The city has agreed to pay $500 for
the tract.

STRENGTH OF A

The strength OF the spider and Of

almost incomprehensible, when the
size of the insect and the thickness Of

periments have shown that q single

When, therefore, a spider spins "a

we see him descending without per-

perfectly sure that he is not only In no
danger OF falling, but that be could

fact with reference to single thread,
we need not be surprised that the
threads of a web, interviewer and re-

powerful In proportion to their size.

PLENTY or FREAK
PLAYS IN MAJORS

CHICAGO.-There are freak plays
and freak plays in baseball. Two OF
them which occurred within the short
space of five days on Comisky Park
are doubly interesting. They belong
to the unusual and also furnish con-
crete REPUTATION of popular fallacy
which seems to have no other foun-
dation than tradition. 49,"
AS often as once a fortnight during
the playing season some other player
or manager from the country or near
by prairies sends in query seeking
to know if team in the field is not
prohibited from using more than
three or four men in the act of run
ming out an opponent who has been
caught between bases.
Where the idea originated cannot
be guessed, but doubtless from ira
dition. At least it is from the same
source as the ideas which still per-
tain to the effect that batsman Is
out automatically if he fails to, run
to first base Immediately or that
he can he put out If an opponent gets
ball and crosses first base line ahead

PLAY
FOR DAVIS CUP

England's lawn tennis players are
displeased with the United States,
This was largely the cause of the
British Isles team for the Davis Inter
national Challenge Cup matches de
Gliding to sail directly for Australia
instead of visiting this country and
playing the final ties, as was done last
year.
The team that will represent the
British Isles is composed of G. p.
Dixon, captain; A. Z. Beamish, F. G.
Lowe and John C. Parke. The four
players sailed on September IL. They
expect to arrive in Melbourne about
October 81. The challenge matches
for the world-famous cup will prob.
ably be played the latter part Of No
vember.
1t is understood that the Australia
sian defenders are again to rely upon
Norman E. Brookes, Rod Heath and
A. w. Dunlop. The singles competi-
tions are to be looked after by Brookes
and Heath, while the doubles will
bring out Brookes and Dunlop, whom
even the English critics regard as in
vinsible. The Britons pin. their faith
in returning the cup to England upon
taking both matches from Heath and
at least one of the singles from
Brookes, which will give the necessary
three points out of the series of five
matches.

NO MARATHON RACE
FOR ANOTHER MONTH
" PRESENT OUTLOOK
Fort De Russy Runners Willing
to Take on Solder King but
Want Time to Train

According to Soldier King there
| will be no race between himself ano
relay team for at least a month
King is willing to go the distance
with a couple Of weeks training, but
his prospective opponents need mors
time to prepare themselves, and from
a business standpoint King thinks
that postponement would be to the
advantage of all.
Yesterday the receLsly-returneC
champion went out to Fort De Russy
and had chat with the three En-
gineer Corps men who have express
ed willingness to take him on In
15-mile race. He says they are q
likely trin. and. that he quite appre
ciates their desire to get into better
condition, and is quite willing to wait
One of the three. Bernstein, seems
to be something of an ink singer, as
well as a cinder spiker, for he has
come out with the following letter
published in the morning paper:
"We have read of Soldier Kings
desire to meet us in a relay race, we
to run the relay and he the race. A
low me to say that King has a little
100 much confidence in his ability as
runner, or else he must look upon
US as being, In plain speech no good
at his game. Now. we hope some
day, soon, to give him surprise, but
for the present, must stand by and
look on. No one knows why, better
than King, who. being an ex-soldier,
must fully appreciate the difficulties
enc in that occupation must undergo
to train for the road His unrestrict-
ed training under the guidance of a
man who knows how to train and has
the liberty to keep him in the proper
food for that training, gives him an
advantage over us which we fully ap
preciate, but know we can conquer in
time.
Having been in this country, but
short while, it behooves us to be-
come a little more used to the
strengthening hardships one must
undergo while trying to make record
time in this tropic land. However,
giving King all the credit due him,
and respecting him as worthy man
to beat in a race, allow me to state
that we will be glad to have him.

Y BOWERS ARE
GOING AHEAD
WITH PLANS

The bowlers are In something Of q
quandaFy over the organization OF the
~" winter league, owing to the fact
that the teams shape up somewhat I'M
evenly, and there is q chance Of its
being a runaway race for couple
|of them. At least, that was the bur-
den Of the discussion held at yester-
days meeting OF the executive COM
mittee, when It met to complete final
arrangements for the opening Of the
alley season.
The suggestion was made that 1t
would be better to let the six cap
tains draw for choice, and then let
them pick from the AZ players who
have already signiHed their desire to
play, six teams Of seven men each. as
nearly equal IN strength as possible,
The original plan was to let the teams
organize as they desired, and take the
field intact. After an hours talk yes
terdRy noon, the committee could
come to no definite decieion. and e
WAS decided % lHRHe i up 10 the
players themselves at q meeting to
Be held next Thursday
There is something to be said on
both sides OF the question, for while
It might kill the interest 70 have two
very strong teams and four mediocre
ones In the race. 1t would still be q
race between definite clubs, not q
contest between picked teams, the
members of which were not held to-
nether by any ties of mutual interest
dk friendship. It Is not unlikely that
70 divide up the players, breaking up
combinations that played together last
year and that had figured on remain
Ing intact this season, would do more
harm than good to the sport. How
ever, It's up to the men themselves
now, and they viii have several days
to think the problem over before be-
ing called on for decision.
It was decided to make q short Sc
ries Of it. each team to play two
matches of three games each, games
to count. against every other team.
This will finish the schedule In d cou-
pie Of months. when the way will then
be clear for either an individual tour
nament or q two-man.team compete
ton.

to consider the organization problems,
and which is still in charge Of league

base before he was retired. Johnson
chased Rath back toward third, then
tossed the ball to Foster, who ran
Rath toward the plate. Now, 1t was
the play for johnson or Mcbride to
take third base as soon as Foster left
it. Instead the pitcher ran to the
plate, where Ainsmith was, and Nc
Bride remained near second.
Foster ,could not catch Rath, so
passed the ball to Ainsmith, and the
catcher started running Rath back to
third. Failing to overtake the run.
ner, Ainsmith made throw toward
third, but nobody was there, and
Rath landed in safety. Shanks had
run in from left field close behind
third and got the ball quickly. Lord
had advanced close to third and could
not gain safety at that base after
Rath returned to it, so, started back
TO second, with Shanks In Pursuit.
Shanks chased Lord and threw to
Morgan at second, whereupon Lord
doubled on his tracks and Shanks
was given the ball again. This time
he tagged Lord. While they, were
doing that Rath started home and
Shanks threw to Ainsmith in time
TO double up Rath at home. ThsrE
were five players involved in add
ton to McBryde, who was on the line
between third and second, looking for
chance to get into the play.
Five days later the New York Yam
KEGS lost a possible triple play after
a worse tangle. The Sox had Col.
Inns on third. Fourier ON second and
Bodie on first, with nobody out.
Weaver hit to Thompson, and he
tossed the ball to Sweeney, forcing
Collins out Sweeney threw to first
to double up Weaver, but hit the run.

twenty-five Candidates Have
Turned Out at Mckinley and
Coaches Find Good Material

The Mckinley High School boys are
showing spirit and pluck this year
which reflect great deal of credit
on them. In previous years they have
relinQuished the first place In football
TO their rival Punahou, but only after
q determined struggle. This year,
however, the boys are going into the
game to win, and are ably assisted
by p. N. Folsom, director OF athletics;
A. l.. Hall and r. M. Friesell, coaches.
Mr.. Folsom deserves a good deal
of credit for the interest he has shown
In the team. He does not claim to
be a professional coach, but each year
he turns out with the boys and gives
his afternoons to them, and they In
turn do their best for him.
Mr.. Hall is graduate Of the Uni
yersity of Illinois and was star
quarterback on the college team.
MIR. Friesell Ia q well-known ath-
lete In Honolulu. He takes great in
terest In the Mckinley boys and gives
as much Of his spare time as possible
TO the coaching of the football team.
More Preliminary Work.
Mr. Folsom has come to the conclu.
sion that previously the boys have not
/had enough preliminary practise, and
Il II his intention this year to lay spe-
cIal stress on that subject The boys
will be drilled In passing. punting and
special team work.
More interest has been displayed
tbs year In football than In any year
previous. Twenty-Five boys turned out
and they give promise of an excellent
team. William Rosa, last years cap
tain. is showing the right school
spirit by giving many ct his after

The boys appreciate this and show

"HAT the series between the New
York Giants and Boston Red Sox
for the baseball champio nship OF
the world, which begins today, Is
the most important in ne history Of
the national game, seenls to be the
consensus of opinion among Eastern
baseball writer's. From year to year,
1T is true, the same announcement has
been made, but probably from year
to year such has been the case. Base
ball has not yet reached its zenith, as
larger and more orderly crowds, a bet
ter brand of ball, and more insist
ent demand from the general public
for news of the game and the players
conclusively show.
So when the baseball wiseacres
come out with the announcement that
this worlds series will be the greatest
ever, their word might as well be ac-
cepted AT that, they do not pretend
TO predict that the playing will be bet
ter or more exciting than in former
years, but merely that the great
American public is tuned to a higher
pitch of expectation, and that there Is
more at stake from the standpoint OF
both sport and finance than ever be-
fore.

great work in the American League,

That they are long shots this year
