THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. TUESDAY, APRIL IK. 1!H)7.
RAIN GOD IS FROWNING ALL OVER PIXIE

Did it ever strike you that the ffame is gettinp pretty fierce
for the' pitchers, Dill Smith has six now and he will soon have a
seventh—cither Hughes or Castleton. This staff he must cut to
four. Or will it be five?
Now here’s a question.
At the first of the season it was semi-offlcially announced
that Atlanta would carry a utility man. With a fourteen-player
limit a utility man means only four pitchers.
You have to have three outfielders and four infieldcrs—seven
in all. A couple of catchers make nine, and a utility man ten—
leaving only four vacancies for pitchers.
Well right now the utility man seems doomed hh far as At
lanta is concerned.
If he is, then Hoffman will have to go. And that is too bad,
for Larry is the cleverest kind of a chap and a wonder in the
infield.
Obviously Bill Smith wiH have to cut his staff of seven pitch
ers down to five.
It’s a pipe that if Tom Hughes comes back he will stick.
Or if Castleton is the Highland discard he is ‘likely to do very
nicely. So there is one position accounted for.
Rube Zeller is a rock-ribbed certainty ond Schopp looks like
a sure thing. If Atlanta doesn't get Castleton then Schopp is a
one-best-bet.
In the opinion of several of the Atlanta players Bob Spade
is Surer of a position than any other pitcher—not only because
he is an extraordinarily good twirler, but because he is nearer n
first-class all-round utility man than any other player in the
Southern League today.
Next
&
This year, by the way, is Spade’s last as a pitcher,
year he plans to go to the outfield.
At any position, though, he is good. His work at third base
is said to be right up to the mark and as an outfielder he has few
equals.
And then he can piteh some, bats like a fiend, and he has. a
head. Yes, there isn’t much doubt about Spade. So that gives
us Hughes, Zeller, Schopp and Spade.
Every man on the Atlanta team I have talked with believes
that Rowan ,the ex-Detroiter, will stick tighter than adhesive
plaster.
And speaking about Rowan, don’t anybody get the notion
that because he looks a bit like the late demented Raymond, he
is a performer in Bug’s clnss.
He has plenty of sense, washes regularly and has no ginring
idiosyncracies (Help! Help! There isn’t a dictionary at the Hotel
Florence and I don’t find it anywhere in the directory.) So he
differs from Raymond in at least three points.
How about Sparks and Ford, though 1 Billy Smith has al
ways thought the former one of;the most promising youngsters
ho has ever seen and the latter is going to be a wonder, sure.
So as we remarked carjier in this instructive (f) little es
say, it’s a desperate game holding a job on Atlanta’s pitching
staff. And it is mighty hard telling who will be the first to go.

NOTES OF BARONVILLE
!•••••••••••••••
By PERCY H. WHITING.
Birmingham, AIb., April 16.—It’s fun
to win from the Barons. They lose so
hard.
This blngllng hubit may not win the
pennant, but It hol|>a an awful lot.
If Carlos Smith had made his home
run In the third Instead of the fifth
nulie Keller's family would he wearing
mourning today. It was only good for
one run, though.
That chap Becker Is the esence of en
ergy. He runs out to his position, runs
back, and Is always on the Jump.
He Is the only tnnn In the Southern,
however, who will go to bat, strike out
and then RUN back to his position.
The times he strikes out. though are
very rare and his hits are very uumer-
oua.
Paskert has the Smoketown fans
won. In the April 9th game he mode
a stab that 'wrung unwilling though
hearty applause Iram the crowd, and
yesterdny he took In a low line drive
that looked ns much like a hit as any
thing not now salted away In Presi
dent Kavanaugh'a record book.
Furman Lost
To Newberry
Special to The Georgian.
Newberry. 8. C., April 16.—Newber
ry College defeated Furman University

son. Crouch struck out 12 and allowed
4 hits, while 15 hits were gotten off
Workman and only four Newberrlans
fanned the air.

Birmingham.'Ala.. April 18.—After
putting hlmaelf In a hole deep enough
to bqry a pennant pole, "Rube" Zeller
pulled out again and won yesterday’s
game from Birmingham by a score of
6 to t. • .
Zeller opened up the hole In the first
of the third by passing Garvin. Then
he deepened It by walking Walters and
pin on a sub-basement by grabbing
Ragan's bunt and chiicklng It wild.
That let Garvin home.
There was a hole right. One run
scored, nobody out, two On bases and
tht three best batters due. Molesworth
lat go a rattling single and filled the
bases—with nobody out—which added
to the Atlanta gloom.
When Carlos Smith came up the
crowd ’ went wild. But the wildness
didn't last. The best Carlos Could do
was a very feeble foul, which Jim Fox
nabbed. Then Gardner accommodat
ingly popped out to Hoffman and
Montgomery finished the' Inning by
flying out to Becker.
After that the Barons were buffaloed.
In the fourth AlcoCk doubled and
scored on Garvin's single. But Wal
ler*. the next victim, went out easily,
ending the Inning.
Birmingham's run-getting ended In
the fifth, when Carlos Smith hit a
grass-cutter so hard that it werft to
the pennant pole and then tried to
climb the pole. Winters was waiting
for It when It returned, but Smith
scored before the ball was well Inside
the Infield, completing the circuit with
a slide that appeared to begin Just
past second base.
Atlanta's scoring began In Ihe fourth.
Sid Smith singled and Becker went
safe on Ragan's error. Both men
scored when Jimmy the Fox blngled.
Those two run* gave Atlanta a scant
lead, but the Crackers lost It again In
the fdurth, when the Barons tied up'
the game. Also they went one to ,*
