Bnrger stiII With Atlanta

According to notices appearing II the Atlanta Constitution, Cy Barger veteran hurler of various Southern League clubs, most recently with At lanta. is still on the pay roll of tht Crackers Here's what Cliff Wheat. ley, in the Constitution. has to say:
 Cy Barger. relieved recently of playing duties with the Att lanta club, is still on the pay roll of the association, it developed last nght in an interview with President Spiller. Cyrus is on a player search, securing the high ways and byways for material that might prove useful to the local cause.
 l'reAy SDiller is anxious to get hi hands on utility player. I.e wants a man who can be at home everywhere save back of the platter and on the mound and he believes Cyrus is just the fellow to land the player.
 Barger has been informed that resources at his command are unlimited. This means that Spiller is willing to pay almost any price for a player who can de- liver the goods. The man sought must be good fielder. but the chief requisite is that he be able to click the ball when runners are on the paths. Spiller isn't keen to lose any more games by one run. when a pinch hitter might have saved the day.

Southpnyv's Paradise

IF reports coming from Little Rock and the various kicks being registered by scribes over the league are true, Kid Elberfeld, Tabasco Kid ot Little Rock, has devised new waM and means of giving visiting bail Piayefs the dickens. It seems that pig checkered sign in the outfield Has been constructed, and claim is made that this sign makes it almost impossible for batter to see the pall when delivered by a southpaw. 5 EiDerfeld has three southpaws on snis pitching staff-Warmoth Rohin- son and Cvengros. Although continual association with The sign may give the Traveller bats 5 men immunity from the spell, tt < seems to us that visiting managers : could turn the tables on El5erfeld e by themselves sending a southpaw z to the mound. Of course, the Kid ' has three left handlers to the aver < age one of the other clubs. There may or may not be some : thing to the report, but it's fact 7 that Warmoth, who has always been s easy for the Barons, defeated Mo- = ieys men in close game at Little 2 Rock. Anyway, there's lot being ' said about Elberfeld's checkered : Sign, and it's something to talk < about, and railbirds like to talk.

 ea IL is well known that Kid EI- - berfcid lived in Tom sharkey's ,- day, and there are well founded 2 suspicious that some of his cun- .s ming in painting checIxcrbonrds on " his fences to befuddie the bats
 men, etc., wns taken from the
 methods that the old sailor used
 to daxxle his opponents.
 For instance, it is related that
 Tom had n ship. with all the ac-
 companying scenery of wild
 waves, etc, tntooed on his chest.
 When Tom got into n fight he'd
 rock from side to side so that
 his opponent. seeing the Ship
 rock and the waves splash, would soon get SO rea-sick 1t Il simple matter for Tom to paste him with the good-n.ght
 punch.
 Tom Maxted, another sailor,
 had n graveyard tntooed on his
 bnck, with rows of crosses and
 all but the skull and bones. Be-
 fore the light he'd give his op-
 popent eyeful of the dismal
 fate that becl<oned him.

 fighters and baseball managers
 are as compared with those of
