CRACKERS GROWING STRONG, DESPITE THEIR HARD LUCK

Says Will R. Hamilton, of the New Orleans Item:
Oopd baseball is string that Memphis team a lead which will
hardly be OTeroome by any ot the other seven teams in the race.
It's all very well to talk about the other fellow's good luck
and your own hard luck. The gag is so old that it seldom works,
but the man that can't see luck sticking out all through the suc
cess of Memphis should inform himself more thoroughly on the
great American game.
What team In the league besides Memphis has had Its entire
strength in action the whole season?
That counts for a good deal, although it by no means consti
tutes all of Memphis' luck. She has won more games on dia
mond luck than any other team, little streaks of fortune In them
selves, but they have counted for an awful tot In the long run.
If Memphis wins the pennant by luck she will not be the first
one to do so. In fact, Memphis won the pennant In 1904
largely by good luck. Lew Whistler didn't have the list team,
but hla boys managed to.strike their best stride In the last two
weeks of the season when the rest of the first division teams,
save Atlanta, were In a terrible slump.
Birmingham won last year's pennant by luck. That squad had
almost as much good luck as Memphis Is having this year, and
but for that luck would have done well to land In the first divi
sion at all.
The Barona have about the same team this year—In fact, a
better team to all appearances. Yet they are sticking to the bot
tom, playing the Oaston and Alphonse act with her sister city,
Montgomery.
This year the Barons are getting a bad break In luck—and
that's the difference.
CASTRO’S SLASHING “HOMER
WINS GAME FOR CRACKERS
PITCHER SIGNED;
OTHERS WANTED
Which goes to show that some other people thiDk about the
•arae ns we do—Birmingham sporting writers to the contrary not
withstanding.
The baseball experts of the smoky burg claim superior play
ing—“inside ball" and a few such things as the cause for Birming
ham’s victory last year. .
That is the usual stunt. New York writers did as much for
the famous Giants when they won the pennant and so did Phila
delphia when the. Athletics did likewise. And yet theso teams
could not come back and do it again with practically the same
line-ups and with the other teams in the league little or no bet
ter.
If “inside ball” did it, then what beoamo of the said “in
side ballf”
Luck is the biggest single element of baseball. It always has
- been and it nlwnys will be, as long as men are human and luck is
luck.
The Atlanta team is a fair example. With a little break
of Iuck Atlanta would be out in front as far as New Orleans
was in 1905—and a lot farther than Memphis is now
On the other hand, if the tenm 'had had more hard luck it
might easily be in the second division.
Last year it was practically the same. Billy Smith picked
up an aggregation that should have landed tho rag. But one thing
after another went wrong and the team finished third. This year
Billy has a shade better team and a bit better luck. In conse
quence the Crackers are second, with the chances good of their
going to the top—with luck.
And speaking of that, aren’t things breaking right just as
present! '
For the first time this year our old friends in Birmingham
are doing the correct thing by us and twice in succession they
have benten Memphis. By the samo token Atlanta has done as
much for Now Orleans and Tuesday Nashville turned in and
whaled tho only other Western team which shows signs of be
ing dangerous—to wit, Little Rook.
LOUI8 CASTRO.
The man whose home run won
the same.
Soore, 1 to 0 In favor of New Orleans.
Seventh Inning.
Two out.
Only one hit made off Frits and the
team apparently buffaloed.
Fox, the man who made the first hit,
came to bat and singled.
Two out and one man on first.
Then came to bat one Louis Castro,
Count de Sphoghettl.
Right here it might be mentioned
that Castro Is batting somewhere In
the vicinity ot .2(0.
A ball or two was pitched. Then an
other one.
The Count braced himself; the bat
flashed with a vicious swish, there was
a ringing crack and the ball hurled
(don't know what It means, but good
word) through the air, over the heads
of the outfielders and out Into the great
beyond, a couple of outer gardners aft
er It.
The crowd let up a mighty cheer, and
then a hush fell. It was a cinch that
Fox was going to score—but Castro?
THE BARD 18 DYINQ.
Jim made three strides and rounded
second base, two more and he was at
! third, and one long one and he tallied.
Score, 1 to 1, and Castro giving the
ball an awful race to the plate.
When he hit third the ball was coming
In fast and Castro was "all out."
His mouth was open, his hair flying,
his knees wobbling and a look of pain,
combined with another of determina
tion, on his classic features.
The fans do not breathe.
On came Castro and on came the
ball, faster still.
For one sickening instant it looked
as though Castro was out at the plate.
But by a marvelous effort he stag
gered across home plate—"ridden out"
but safe home.
Then the crowd let loose and yelled.
1 Not for one minute, but for live, did
I the shouting last. Men stood on their
I hind legs, waved their hats and shouted
themselves purple. Ladles—for it was
Indies' day—gave the usual feminine
demonstrations of Joy and extreme hi
larity. *
Then the crowd began to shower
money on the field and Castro and his
team mates were kept busy for a few
minutes, picking up the cash w hich was
thrown down to the hero of the hour.
The play was certainly a fitting cli
max for the most brilliant game of the
season.
Frits faced Ford In the rifle pit and
Both pitchers were near thslr best. The
New Orleans boy gave up three hits, a
single and a three-bagger to Fox and
the home run to Castro. Not another
Cracker could hit safe.
Ford allowed more hits, but he de
served a shut-out. Of course he was
slightly to blame in the fourth for pass
ing Sabrle and allowing Oaston to make
tho single that sent the first-baseman
to third. Also, there Is some doubt that
It was not an error of Judgment on
Becker's part to throw to third, for Ba-
brle was safe a mile.
But anyway he did, and If the man
had been retired, the fans would have
thought It the greatest ploy ever. How
ever. the ball came to Dyer on the
bound and Bill let it pass him. Where
upon Sabrle scored.
Twice besides that New Orleans was
"near.” In the sixth Inning Cross and
Sabrle singled and Cress died at the
plate. In the ninth also, with two out,
Sabrle doubled and Oaston walked.
But Ford managed to hold the Peli
cans safe at critical times and deserved
tho victory that Castro so ably assisted
him to win.
The wrangling of the Pelicans was
another feature. They lost hard and
every decision against them hurt. Rud-
derham, the league's best umps, was on
duty and he showed his usual firmness.
He stood for Oatlne’ racket about as
long as he could have been expected to,
and then he sent this worthy to the
RU8SELL FORD.
The gent whose steady pitching
held the Pelicans down to hard
luck, would have had a shut-out to
his credit. He pitched one of the
best games of his career Thursday.
Lexington, Ky„ July 18.—The Bard,
tho famous old race horse and sire,
which Is fast falling and has but a
short while to live, has been shipped
to A. J. Cassett’s Chester Brook Farm.
In Pennsylvania, to die a pensioner of

With the Cracker team In a winning
way and things breaking pretty well for
the bunch. Manager Smith Is keeping
up a vigorous hunt for winning pitch
ers. Tuesday he bought Pitcher Mc-
Kenxle, of Columbia. The. latest dope
available shows that McKenzie had
on 7 games and lost 11. But that was
some Weeks ago, and he has doubtless
been doing better since then.
McKenzie Is expected Wednesday and
will probably be worked the first time
he appears on the grounds. If he does
not come for Wednesday's game, Man
ager Smith will have to use Castleton,
for Swalm is in no sort of shape.
The Pelicans close their engagement
here Wednesday night and Mike Finn’s
Terrible Travelers fill their place.
Finn's team Is going extra well right
now and will doubtless give the Crack
ers an awful rub.
On Monday the Memphis team makes
Its second appearance here. Then look
out for the best games of the season.
Doubtless the Crackers and the Bab
blers are the best In the league right
now, and when they clinch on Ponce
DeLeon, look out for trouble.
In Wednesday's game Phillip, or

BUI Smith has been making a biz ef
fort to sign either Jim or Ed Lafltte—
or both,
Ed worked out Tuesday with th »
Cracker team and Bill Smith said of
"He Is the best pitcher «e have
him:
seen this year. I'd rather have him
than any man I know."
But Lafltte can not be budged if
he plays for Atlanta, even without nav
he Is barred forever from playing win,'
the Tech team, because the rules of the
Southern Intercollegiate Athletic A no
elation provide that no man who piavs
with any team In any league shall
thereafter be allowed to play In the as
soclatlon.
Jim Lafltte says he will not work for
his home town, but would be glad lo go
to Macon and a deal Is now in progress
to land him there.
WHAT HAPPENED TUESDAY
IN SEVERAL LEAGUES
Our old friend. Jack Rowan, defeated
Augusta and likewise Grant Schopp
Monday afternoon In a free hitting
game by the score of 7 to B. Monday’s
game was Rowan's first contest In the
Sally League, and the youngster from
Detroit pitched good ball. Rowan
pitched only six Innings Monday, and
three hits and not a single run were
made off him. Rowan should be a star
in the Sally League.

Tbs retlremsnt of Charles Zimmer
from baseball removed a landmark.
Perhaps no more reliable catcher ever
lived than "Chief.” The following
sketch of his career appeared first In
a Shreveport paper:
"I retire from the great game of
baseball," said "Chief Zimmer, "and
will settle down either at Cleveland,
Ohio, my present home, or at Los An-
reles, Cal. I have been twenty-six
years actively engaged In the playing
of baseball as a professional sport,
twenty-three of which were spent In
the big leagues.”
Msstsred Three Trades,
Charles L. Zimmer was born at Ma
rietta, Ohio, November 22, 1866, and lo
cated at Ironton six years later. It was
tn Ironton that he learned how to play
baseball, and with that team he began i
hts spectacular professional career In I
1881. Chief Is a carpenter and cabinet i
maker by trade, but has also mastered i
tho Intricacies of cigar making and ex-1
pert laundry manipulation, at all of
which he has worked.
Beginning his professional career
with the Ironton club In 1881, he re
mained there tho following year. In
1682 he went with the Portsmouth club,
In the Ohio State League remaining
there until July, when he was sold to
the Detroit Nationnl League team. In
1885 he was found with the Pough
keepsie club. In the Hudson River
League, remaining there until,August
of that year, when he Joined the fa
mous old Mets, of New York, In the old
American Association.
In 1886 the Chief went with the
Rochester, N. Y., team, In the old In
ternational League, and In 1887 he went
with the Cleveland club, remaining
with that organization for thirteen
years.
First Experience as Manager,
In the fall of 1899 he went with the
Louisville club, then In the old twelve-
club circuit of the National League. The
following year, when tho clriflilt was
I
i
ance as a manager In the Southern
League, being at the head of the Little
Rock club. *
This Is Hla Last Year in Game.
At the commencement of the present
year, the chief Intended to retire from
the sport, but the temptation to again
handle the Indicator was too strong
nnd he returned to umpiring In the
Southern League.
Zimmer has been a careful man with
the money he has earned in the profes
sion nnd owns several pieces of proper
ty, besides having n healthy bank ac
count upon which to fnll back. He has
a wife and three daughters, two of
whom are married. With hla wife and

cut to eight cities again, and the Louis
ville and Pittsburg clubs were merged
Into one great playing aggregation, he
was transferred to Pittsburg, with
Wagner, Leach, Richie, Phllllpl and
Clark, nnd played with thnt great tenm
In 1900, 1901 and 1902, landing second
In the race the flret year and being
with the pennant winners the two fol
lowing years.
In 1903 the chief tried his hand at
mnnaglng the Philadelphia National
League team, but confined himself en
tirely to catching for the same club the
following year. In 1904, Zimmer tired
of catching and was appointed an um
pire In the National League, remaining
In that position one season. In 1906
he umpired In the Eastern League, and
the next year made hlz first appear-
earned rest.
In 1900 Zimmer broke all catching
records and placed the figures at such
a point that they have never been even
i approached since thnt time. While
with Pittsburg, In that year, he caught
i 1 111 straight games, never having to re
tire from a game because of Injury nor
being put out by an umpire. His record
was broken because of the serious Ill
ness of Mrs. Zimmer, when he was
cnlled to his home in Cleveland to be
at her bedside. He lost seven games on
this account, being the only ones he
mlseed during the entire season, and
several times he caught as many as
eleven games In one week. *
Record is One to Be Proud Of.
During the thirteen years he was
with the Cleveland club, the official
records show several seasons durini
which he caught over 100 games, am
ho led all the catchers In the big
league at that for many seasons. Never,
during his long career, was he com
pelled to retire from a game because of
an Injury to hla fingers or hands from
catching, and today, after twenty-six
years In the business, be carries m
broken bones as a result of his profes
atonal work.

FIVE BASEBALL RECORDS.
In 1899 Buck Freeman, of Washing
ton, got twenty-five home runs during
the season, something never before or
since.
In 1902 Irwin Wilhelm, of the Bir
mingham club of the Southern League,
pitched both games ef a double-head
er against Nashville. He gave Nash
ville but one hit In each game.
In 1904 Pitcher Baxter Sparks, of
the Yazoo City team of the Delta
League, pitched twenty-one straight
victories. He pitched In three double-
headers, In which three of the games
were shutouts.
On September 24. 1904, at Atlanta,
the Shreveport and Atlanta teams or
the Southern League played a full
nlne-Innlng championship game In for
ty-four minutes. The next best record
was made by the Payton team. Sep
tember 19, 1884, the time being for
ty-seven minutes.
In 1902 Oliver Faulker, of the Wil
mington Athletic Club team, pitched
seventy-seven consecutive Innings
without a run being scored against him.
This Is almost equivalent to pitching
nine straight shutout games. The best
previous record was made by Wlggs,
who pitched forty.four Innings without
being scored on. Cbeebro pitched thir
ty-nine Innings.
