THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. SATURDAY, JULY 20, 1907.
ANOTHER DAY’S DOINGS IN THE SPORTING WORLD
SPORTING PAGE EDITED BY
PERCY h: WHITING
I NOT NEWS, BUT VIEWS
With today’s game the firstweek of the second invasion of the
East by the Western clubs will end.
If Saturday’s game will come out right we shall have to call
the first week a successful one.
And two hard clubs are out of the way for the present.
Monday the grind begins again but with Memphis instead of
Little Rock.
The coming of Memphis is going to bo a big event. Tho
Babblers are leading the league now and they are going to be
hard people to head. But the Crackers are going strong, too,
and it is not any cinch that the Bluffers can get even one of tho
games.
If Atlanta can win all three her pennant prospects will
look considerably better than they dp now. If tho Crackers win
two out of three even, it will put a crimp in the Memphis team
which will have a good moral effect if nothing else.
Anyway, the series means that there will bo baseball Mon
day, Tuesday and Wednesday between the two best teams in
the league.
Shreveport ends the week here. Manager Fisher’s team is
not doing as well as was expected early in the season, but for all
that it will doubtless put up some nifty games.
With the Shreveport series out of the way -the Westerners
sail homeward and we have a little fun with the Eastern clubs.
Nashville comes first and then Montgomery.
And that ends the excitement in Atlanta for nearly a month—
except for the three games at Ponce DeLeon August 12,13 and 14.
The Little Old Man of the Cleveland Press—Elmer Bates—
has recently written an interesting article suggesting that the er
ror column be done away with. Ho says:
There Is another Indictment that might be returned against
the error column and that Is the Injustice that It does to tho
player who goes after everything regardless of Us effect on his
fielding average.
Smith, half asleep, slow, careless, Indifferent, lazy has 10
errors out of 100 easy chances. His fielding avirago Is .900.
Jones, wideawake, fast as a flash, painstaking, always
alert and dashing after everything within possible reach, gets
charged with 15 errors In the same number of what are called
chances. His average Is .850.
In the table of averages, Smith, the sullen, looks to bo a
much better fielder than Jones, tho winning player.
This idea is neither new nor bad. Doubtless the fear of mak
ing errors keeps many a timid player from taking chances.
Also the question of making errors is so largely one of judg
ment that injustices are bound to be dono.
The scorer in Montgomery, for example, may be exceptional
ly strict and every bobble of any kind may go into the error dol-
umn.
In New Orleans, for another example, the scorer might be
mild as a summer breeze, scoring errors only on palpable mis-
plays. Now under such circumstances, the Montgomery and New
Orleans shortstops might field oqually well and yet Jakey Atz
would have perhaps a per cent .050 better than Neal ball.
Of course errors do not make such an alarming difference
to players. But baseball performers, like theatrical people, are
rather sensitive and it hurts their feelings to get errors chalked
against them. Also it may injuro their chances of going up. Of
course in this day and generation of big leaguo scouts and a late
harvest of averages a man’s actual playing performances on the
diamond cut a lot more figure than his records. But still the dope
book counts.
In the Southern League the scorers as a rulo are liberal.
They try to encourage men who take long chances by giving
the batters hits whenever fair, and exempting the fielders from
errors.
But for all that it would probably improve baseball a bit if
the error column were abolished.
It will be many moons, howevor, before such a step is taken.
Baseball is getting to bo a conservative game and baseball mo
guls have n superstitious fear of changing anything while their
luck is good.
MAY SMASH TIE TODAY
IN COMMERCIAL LEAGUE
The second game* of the last round
tn the Commercial League are on to-
lay.
The Southern Railway play* the
Wevtern Electric* at Ponce DeLeon
ttenuc and Myrtle street, Back &
Srigg play the M. Kut* team <u «3arti-
mage Crossing and the Sun Proof*
meet the Koca Nola* on the north dia
mond at Piedmont Park.
The race for The Georgian’s pennant
‘ ha* reached a critical 'jtage. Two
teamt ore tied for the leade^nlp nnd
another I* In second place because It
has played one game less than the
other two. If this team can win Its
postponed game it will be up with the
leaders.
The Interest In the race Is very
keen, as It well might be considering
the closeness of the race and the ex
cellence of the games played.
The Commercial League has proved
to be Just what Its founders designed
It to be, a fast league made up of
strictly amateur players, who play the
game for the fun that Is In It. And it
Is with a feeling of regret that all the
participants see It drawing to a close.
The last games, provided there are
no ties to be played off, will come
August 10.

The Georgians won the first game,

GETTING READY
FOR BABBLERS
Spade Pitches Himself Out of Bad Hole,
And Crackers Hammer Out a Victory
Bob Spado unrivaled ability to pitch
himself Into a hole and then out again
was never better exemplified than In
Friday'* gome.
In ths first Inning he let himself get
bumped good and proper, and Little
Rock scored two runs.
Then he settled down and allowed
juat two hits In the remaining eight
Innings. •
The Crackers also gave one of their
exhibition, of how to paste the ball all
around the lot and won the game off
the redoubtable Rhodes Scholar,
Charles Keith, by a score of 4 to 2.
The game was a gloomy problem up
to the sixth Inning. Little Rock scored
two runs In the first and the Crackers
seemed utterly helpless when It came to
hitting tn the pinches. Two hits with
two out In the first, and two hits, a
stolen base and a base on balls In the
fifth netted absolutely nothing.
And In the latter cases the men who
proved unable to hit In the pinches
were Faskert and Winter*, two of the
most reliable batters on the team.
R just seemed that It was Impossible
to get anything off Keith when a blngle
was needed.
The first cheerful Incident came In
the ilxth. Smith and Jordan singled;
Fox then drove one to Page, who er-
rored. On this fluke Smith scored and
Jordan went to third. And Otto scored
on Castro's long fly. These two runs
tied the score.
The lucky seventh saw the game won.
Faskert opened up, after two men had
gone out, and made a nice single. Then
he executed a steal so gracefully that It
seemed a joke to do It. Sid Smith sin
gled and he scored. The next man
went out, second to first.
If no more runs had been made It
could have been said truthfully that
Paskert’s steal won the game. If he
had not plucked that stolen base he
could not have scored on Smith's sin
gle.
But It happened that Atlanta made
one more run, tn the eighth inning, and
clinched th'e game by a score of 4 to 2.
It woe an odd contest, with all kinds
of queer fielding. Much of It was bril
liant and much of It wasn’t. The score
does not show It, but there were a half
dozen times when It was a difficult
matter to tell whether an Inflelder
should have an error or the batter a
hit. No game this year has produced
more perplexing questions along that
line. And os a general proposition the
scorers gave the benefit of the doubt to
tho fielder and the batter and 'let the
pitcher have the hot end of It. And
this was quite right, owing to the
roughness of the new Ponce DeLeon
diamond and tho miserably hard
chances the fielders had.
Some Idea of how It all happened

SOME FEW NOTES ON THE HARD-FOUGHT BATTLE
When Bob Spade came up from the
Sally Leaguo those who knew him said
that he never pitched much unless he
had to. They opined also that he had
a habit of getting Into deep holes and
then pitching himself out.
And this has certainly proved to bo
the truth.
Bob has a way of taking victory
easily. If the team Is ahead he Is
willing to let (ho opposition do a little
hatting. If they are behind he pitches
hts head right off, and In consequence
his games are usually tight ones—and
he generally wins them.
Bob gave a corking exhibition Frl-
dsy. After the first Inning he had the
bunch helpless. They made a total of
four hits and Spade gave up only two
bases on bolls.
Keith proved easier than expected.
For awhile he was wonderfully good
In the pinches and he showed no symp
toms of wildness at any stage of the
game.
But along toward the middle of the
proceedings the Crackers batted him
around about as they pleased.
The baby carriage, which was
bought by the Atlanta Baseball Club
for Jesse Becker, recently Ihe father
of a bouncing baby girl, was formally
presented to him during the game.
When Becker came to bat In the first
Inning Jim Fox. accompanied by "A.
B.," the ground-keeper, disappeared
out of the players' gate and presently
re-appeared.
Jim was wheeling n baby carriage
ar.d In It was a baby, presumably Bob
Spade's youngest, I hough there was
some doubt about the Identity.
When the home plate was reached
Jim Fox's lips were se«n to move and
something was doubtless said. Then
Becker took off his hat, Jim took off
his and the Incident was closed, all
but wheeling of the carriage, which
was done majestically by Becker.
Then of course Jesse struck out. It
wns Inevitable after auch a nerve-
racking experience as the public pre-
st motion of a baby carriage.
But for all that he got away with It.
Wood dropped the ball and It rolled
back and hit his umpe. And Becker
was therefore awarded the first bag,
under the rules.
Hess and Rockenfeli] gave a little ex
hibition of throwing ball* and bats at
each other before the game, which was
amusing to all who were not in the line
of fire.
But It was not amusing to hear Hess
use profane language In a voice loud
enough to be heard In the grand stand.
If Hess desire* to retain his popu
larity In Atlanta and to keep out of
trouble, he Is advised to "cut It out."
If there had been anybody on the
coaching line In the third Inning Reck-
er might have gone to third on Win
ters' single, for the center fielder Jug
gled the ball. But nobody was there to
send Jesse on to third and he used tils
best Judgment and stayed at second.
Dyer copped third nicely In the fifth.
After he singled, Spade sent one down
between second and third. The third
baseman went so far oft his bog for It
that Bill outran him back to the sack.
Pretty neat judgment and base-run
ning.
The near-error* of the day were the
hits of Becker, which went through the
second baseman, Dyer’s hit In the
eighth, which ploughed through Hess;
Spade's hit In the eighth, which Page
juggled, and Jordan's second hit.
Wood's hit In the first Inning went
way by Becker and fifteen or twenty
feet up the right-field bank. Jesse
climbed the steep Incline like a Har
lem goat and managed to hold Wood on
second.
The strong wind that hit Ponce De
Leon during the middle of the game
caused a lot of uncertainty In the field
ing of long fiys. Once Ginger Winters
chased a fly ball clear beyond Poakert's
station. It started out toward Becker,
whirled back over George's stand and
finally reached Winters' glove right In
front of where Paskert was. standing.
Castro did some quick work when
Miller sent him a hot one In the
fourth. Castro slapped the ball down,
picked It up and with, a quick throw
retired "Duaty” at first.
Manager Bill Smith Is certainly lay
ing back for that Memphis team.
He Is going to work Russell Ford
today In order to have Castleton, Zeller
and Spade ready to run In, in one, two,
three order against the Babblers.
Bill has no notion of taking any
chance* with Mackensie, Swalm or any
of the rest of them. Castleton, Zeller
and Spade are hi* stars, and they are
the men who go against the Bluffers.
Right now It looks gloomy for the
Babblers. The Atlanta team Is going
strong and the three pitchers who are
slated for action are In first-class trim.
Scotty Mackensie took his first work
out with the Cracker* Friday after
noon. Billy set him to Work throwing
to the men who were batting and the
“Human Corkscrew" developed such a
world of steam that he hod the Crack
ers backed clear off the-plate and over
against the grand stand. As long as
the ex-Columbian was working every
man on the team gave a back-away
Imitation which was equal to Bob Wal
lace at his worst
Lowry Arnold, vice president of the
Southern League, will leave Saturday
night for Memphis to attend the meet
ing of the league directors.
This meeting Is a very Important one
and Mr. Arnold Is putting himself at
some Inconvenience to attend.
Mlko Finn has had a wire from
President Kavanaugh, saying that his
protest of the three games In Nashville
when the Nashville team was guilty of
carrying seventeen men, will be taken
up by the directors. The wire also
contained the news that Dobbs, In re
taliation. had protested the game In
Little Rock, when Finn was one man
over the limit.
Mike Finn will work Ancient William
Hart against the Crackers Saturday.
When Finn was asked if he had any
new men, he replied; “No, I have too
many now."
The Montgomery team pulled off a
triple play Friday afternoon. The
Climbers played great ball and de
feated the Turtle-Backs from Mem
phis handily. George Suggs, the Mem
phis slabman, was batted all over the
lot by the Climbers. Montgomery
made 16 hits off Suggs’ benders. The
Montgomery team has Improved won
derfully In Its playing of late, and If
It keeps up Its good work, will be near
the top In a month or so.
Neal Ball, formerly of the Atlanta
club, but who was sold to Montgomery
at the beginning of the season, Is Ploy
ing a great game at shortstop for that
team now. Ball Is hitting the ball for
keeps and Is batting with the best of
them. Neal Is a good fielder and he Is
