 Fred Rieger of Waterford, formerly with the Planters and one of the best pitchers in Connecticut, is expected to do the hur1ing for Stenington with Foley behind the bat.
 The manager of the Stars will have a battery which is certain to bring the Stars off with credit from the contest which is sure to be one no fan can afford to miss.

All Stars Claim City Championship.

Having defeated all the mines which are now playing baseball in the city of Norwich the All Stars feel that they have good grounds for claiming the baseball championship Of the city. The only team to score a win over the Stars was the Sodality nine. explained by Bunk Walsh However. Bunk has since disbanded the team and signed up with the Stars. He himself admits that he could not get anywhere near as strong a team again to represent the Sodality.
 The score of contests with local hines follow. and it will be seen that all were easily defeated except the Hospital team. which gave the Stars close game.

teenth and what appears sure TO
be the greatest tennis cham
pionship of the South Atlantic States
will be played on the courts Of the
Country Club here beginning to-day.
The entry list is the largest and
most select that has ever been known
in the South Atlantic championship.
One hundred and fifty Of the best ten
mis- players in this section have en-
tered and the majority of them are
already here ready for the play
Mrs. Alexander G. Johnson. of
Asheville, n. c., champion in the la
dies singles of the Carolinas; Nat
Thornton, present Southern and
South Atlantic title holder; James Z.
Erwin, Carolina, and intercollegiate
champion Of Carolina, are a few of
the stars who are here.
Apparently the tournament ought
to be pie for Nat Thornton. However
there is no certainty about this, for
Thornton's game is not al its best on
hard clay courts of the sort used here
in Augusta. In addition the new
Southern champion has been through
a grueling two weeks of tennis and
may not be in top form for the COM
ing event.

FORD-SWEENEY
BATTERY NOW
GOING STRONG
BY Percy H. Whiting.
a TLANTA'S most famous battery

~
n Russ Ford and Ed Sweeney
IS coming to life. It's high
time. of course, and all that. But
~ they have-and it was consid-
cradle of a feat with club as de-
morelized and all but decomposed as
the New York Americans.
Russ Ford, unless he manages 10
kick off a game before this gets into
type, has five straight victories to his
credit. he won his last victory off the
redoub,aOle Red Sox.
il = suspected that Frank Chance
is jvS; he kind of a man to get the
most cat of Russ Ford. The eX-
Nr1lktl - "bsolutely the best fellow
in the WIlG--hat ne is not prone TO
tear himself to pieces for lot of men
who are laying down. If the club IS
going good, Russ is going good" If
not, not.
Frank Chance expects every man
to do his best. And he would never
forgive one man for not doing his
best because the other members Of the
a cam were doing their worst.
Chance undoubtedly hurled a fright
into Ford by his threats to clean up
the team. Anyhow, Russ is going a.
well as he ever did in his life.
IN an interview with Boston scribes
recently, Chance ascribed much of
the clubs success to the catching Of
Edward Sweeney, who, he says, has
improved 90 per cent"
Frank Farrell, the club owner, who
is staying through thu series, added:
Yes and Chance has made back
stop out of Sweeney. 1 give him the
credit"
one great trouble with the big fell
low, it appears, was that he hesitatSd
invaria bly, to take aim before cutting
the ball away. Chance got MIN out OF
this habit, with the result that IN
the past week only two bases have
been pilfered on him, and he has cut
down some nine or ten foemen.
THE Cracker team still leads the
L Southern League in hitting, but
Mobile is closing in. Also the Crack
ers have slumped to a point where
only the Pelicans separate them from
last place.
Mobiles superiority over the South
ern League teams is shown In
multitude of ways.
The Gulls are second in team bat
ting and second in team fielding. They
have reached first on bases on balls
more often than any other team IN
the league. They have stolen more
bases. Only one club has struck out
less frequently. No team touches the
Gulls in hits for extra bases.
All in all. 1t is a great team.
THE team batting table is an in
teresting document. The Crack
ers work is impressive. Birming-
hams weak showing is amazing.
Somehow the Barons can't hit.
Here are the team averages
through Tuesdav's games.
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1913-06-30

And lastly, here's the team telding
dope. In this connection it is but
fair to say the scoring in Atlanta
is probably a little sitter than in
some other cities and puts the Crack
ers at a disadvantage, as they get 70
games Of careful, close scoring a year.
