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. GEORGIAN BOWLING TEAM DEFEATS SOUTHERN BELL The Georgian bowline team defeated Ihe Southern Bell team Friday night by the meager score of <4 pins. All fames were close and. exciting. The Georgians won the first game, Ihe Southern Bell the second, and the bird went to the Georgians by a small nargtn. These two teams are evenly matched tnd as there are six more games to be flayed. It Is only a toss-up who wins Shaffer, of the Georgians, made the itghest score for Individual game—216. A large number of bowling fans wlt- HON. H. H. PERRY, Of Georgia Legislature.

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 may be gleaned from the following: Little Rock. ab. *r. h. po. a.

Time, 1:4S. Umpire, Rud- derham. 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 making the shortstop of this league go | Standing of the Clubs, j Plsved. Won. Lost. PC.

The New York Americans lost tn the St. Louis Browns Friday afternoon by the score of 4 to 2. Chesbro was on the firing line for New York and he was touched up rather lively by the St. Louis batters.

Well, they have, and If they keep up their present gait, they will make the Cubs look to their laurels.
