CRACKERS ARE VERY BUSY IN FARTHEST ARKANSAS
NOT NEWS, BUT VIEWS
When it comes to picking: up the team bodily and lifting
it over the finishing line, winner by an eye-lash, the late lament
ed “Snapper” Garrison sinks into puny insignificance when com
pared to our old college chum, William Smith.
’.The number of seventh, eighth and ninth inning rallies that
the Crackers have pulled off for him this year is something
slightly more than numerous.
And none has beaten that fancy performance of Monday af
ternoon. With the score 4 to 1 in the first inning in favor of those
pesky Travelers it looked like pretty stormy doings for Atlan
ta. But Castleton proceeded to settle down and the Atlanta bat
ters pulled together and before the finish came the Crackers had
another game.

It is encotiraging to learn that the story that Xaahvilh/ had
transferred a game to New Orleans was a mistake on the part
of the gentleman who wrote fhe story.
That helps some.
Some time ago we “riz to inquire” if this transferring-of-
games business was to be on tap again this year and after a con
siderable period of waiting we get the answer—in the negative.
Tho end of the transferring games evil has doubtless come
in the South. Atlanta and Birmingham have won their fight.
Hereafter if New Orleans wins the pennant tho Pelicans
will do it because they have the bhst team (barring rubber balls)
and not because the weaker clubs are forced to play more than
their share of games on Prank’s back-yard. This is onetime
where the best interests of the sport won out over the commer
cial end.

Tech Seniors-Faculty Game
ZELLER LEADS LEAGUE;
GASKILL DROPS A BIT
What pitcher leads the league?
Answer—alt together and In a loud
tone of voice:
RliBE ZELLER!
The tall, slight gentleman from the
state of Pennsylvania—the Individual
with a smile like a wall-eyed pike and
a mild and sunny disposition! He Is
the very man.
And he pitches for Atlanta.
And yet, do you know, until Monday's
games were out of ‘he way, one Prince
Gasklll, of the comparatively unimpor
tant burg of Shreveport, held that cov
eted position?
However, a slight accident happened
‘‘The Prince" Monday and he has
skidded down a few steps on the
ladder of twirling fame. (P. S.—Mixed
metaphors allowed by special request.)
Weems, of Montgomery, Is among the
select few.. The Auburn pitcher has
won both his games thus far. Nelson,
of Nashville, has won his only game;
Ely, of Nashville, did as well, and so
did Torry, of Shreveport. However,
these one-game arUsts do not count.
Eyler, Stockdale, Guese and Fisher
are up toward the top.
Spade and Castleton are tied for sec
ond place among the Atlanta pitchers.

The managers had signed their men, at wages within reason.
And everything was ready for another baaehull season.

TUI Patsy Flynn reported—Patsy Flynn, of Hester street.
"He’ll come, all right," said Skinny Pete: "lie dassent t’row me down.
Dat kid would sooner pitch for me dan any guy In town.
He's got de awellest spltball dat a pitcher ever wet,
And If he comes—o' course, he'll come—well, we're de one best bet.”
' Scarce had this declaration |>assed the llpa of Skinny Pete
When Patsy Flynn, the twlrler, hurried In from Hester street.
"Well kills," he said, ‘ da stuff Is off—I a'pose dat I'm a dub.
But I can't buy no uniform to play wld die here club.
It's Jest a cap and shirt and pants, wld trlmmln'a on de side.
Me mudder wants to stake me, but she couldn't, If she tiled.
I know she'd like to buy dera togs, because I seen her cry;
I guess I'll chuck de east side league and be an outlaw guy!”

ROYAL8 WIN.
College Park, Ga., June 10.—The
Royal Insurance team, one of the fast
est amateur organizations In the city,
defeated the Decatur team Saturday
afternoon In an exciting ten-inning
game, by the score of 12 to 6. The
game was characterized throughout by
squabbling.
Bnrlll did most of the twirling for
Decatur, but was replaced by Reese In
tho eighth. Roy Hendec finished the
game for Decatur and did his part well.
Park and Camp did the twirling for
the Royals, the former retiring In the
fourth on account of wildness. The
Decatur t»*nm secured only four hits off
'amp’s delivery In six innings.
The game was tied up at the end of
the ninth, Decatur making one run In
the eighth, but was untied again In
the tenth, the Royals making six runs.
There \vas much heavy hitting on the
part of the Royals, E. Lockhart getting
two home runs and Camp getting a sin
gle and a three-bagger.
One of the features of the game was
the catching of Lockhart, who made
some beautiful catches of fouls.

WHITTIER WANTS GAMES.
To the Sporting Editor Georgian:
The \\’hlttlcr Mills baseball team
desires very much to arrange games
with any amateur ball team In or
around Atlanta. We have un excellent
ground of our own at Chattahoochee,
and a fairly good team, as we have
played to date seven games ami lost
only two. Our first opening Is June 22,
and we would like to arrange games
for each Saturday thereafter through
out the season.
Would be glad to confer with any
of the baseball managers. Call At
lanta 'phone 414 for games.
J. R. SISK, Manager.
Some people wonder, why pitchers
who pitch good ball can’t win games,
but the answer is easily reached
through dissection of Handsome Harry
.McIntyre’s record In the National
League with Brooklyn this year, as it
shows that the Brooklyn club has made
the phantom-ltke total o{ three runs In
six games pitched by Big Mac this
season.
According to expert figuring, this Is
an average of half a run per game,
which may have been beaten had
Brooklyn batted hard enough to hang
a record of three-quarters of a run per
game.
Mike Finn’s tip is Atlanta by a nlade.
The Irishman with the upholstered mus
tache figures that Billy Smith’s people
should nose out all contenders with the
demon Zeller traveling at such a rapid
clip and the entire club so well bal
anced. Mike was not keen about pass
ing out dope on Nashville’s outlook. He
figured the home guard was still u bit
uncertain, with possibilities of landing
high up and also the chance to break
into a streak of luck and tumble. “It’s
the best race we’ve ever had,” com
mented the Little Rock mogul, “and
there i*n’t a team in the circuit out
classed."—Nashville Tennessean.

hours. Neither side scored until the third Inning, when Dorchester made
two runs, but In their half the Bennett boys made three. This was evened
up In the fourth. Then for twenty-three innings both sides went out In
order. In the final inning the Dorchesters bunched their hits, sending the
winning run across the plate. Both pitchers stuck t» the game until the

was full of life and snappy playing,
Macon "copped"- the Itret one of the
series of four games from Jacksonville
yesterdny.
The game was full of feature plays.
Wohlleben's home run In the fourth

clean drive over left field fence. In
the fltfh, with the score tied, "two and

drove the ball Into deep center for
three bases. Houston scored on Rho-
ton's hit to second.
Fully 1,000 people witnessed yester

one, and the Interest shown was re

Special to The Georgian.
Little Rock, Ark., June 11.—The Fire
crackers defeated the locals on their
home grounds here Monday afternoon
after a hard and close game. Score,
Atlanta 6, Little Rock 4.
Mike Finn, of the local bunch, sent
In a young pitcher named Wheeler, and
he put up good ball to the seventh
Inning, when he weakened, and after
walking two men Finn yanked him out
of the box. Buchanan was sent In to
stem the tide. But the Firecrackers
made three runs In the seventh and
overhauled the big lead secured by the
locale In the first Inning.
Castleton pitched good ball for the
visitors In all but one Inning. In the
first Inning he was batted rather free
ly. but after that the locals could do
nothing with hts puzzling curves.
It was thought that the game would
be a runaway affair for the Arkansas
boys In the first, but the tide turned
for the Firecrackers In the "lucky sev
enth.”
Dyer was out of the game Monday
and Billy Smith presented a somewhat
weakened line-up. Sweeney was sent
In to catch and 8ld Smith went In to
his old position at third base.
Rube Zeller or Spade will probably
pitch this afternoon, and whichever
It may be the game should be inter
esting.
