12 -. ' J TFTE ATLANTA GEOKHTAN ANI) NEWS. TUESD AY, AUGUST 13, 1907. CRACKER CREW IS HOME EOR FLEETING VISIT SPORTING PAGE EDITED BY PERCY H. WHITING I NOT NEWS, BUT VIEWS Well, if Atlanta HAD won both gamea of that double-header Monday we should be .002 ahead of Memphis, instead of .002 be hind. • But still we bear the rain that stopped the game no grudge. It looked decidedly as though the Barons had us beaten in that first one. And if they h8d got away with it, things would not look half as fine as they do now. It’s a pippin of a race, though. Old New Orleans put up a game attempt to down Memphis Monday. But no use. “Inflated Georgie” Suggs was a little too keen and the Pelican people bit the dust. However, it is reasonably evident that Prank’s team is doing its best to win from Memphis, and it is to be hoped that the Peli cans will be successful. Atlanta can’t hope to win quite all of the games, nnd the only hope is to lose less than Memphis does. We earnestly request that Lattimer and Garvin of the Bir mingham team modify their language while they are on the ball grounds. Both players were guilty, during the progress of the game Monday, of loud-mouthed profanity. That may be allowable on the Slag Pile. But not at Ponce DeLeon. Kindly eliminate it in future. It has been the custom in the Southern League for some time past for the pennant winning team to pull of? an exhibition game the day after the season closes. We note with some amusement that the Memphis manage ment has already announced this game for the Turtle Back. A little premature, maybe. We might decide to have it at Ponce DeLeon. ~ The Chicago Tribune’s baseball expert recently announced that if a base runner is hit by a batted ball that 1ms been partly blocked by a fielder he is not out. Obviously. And yet the umpires of the league have been making all kinds of decisions on this point of late and the managers are a lit tle up in the air on the question. THIS LOOKS LIKE THE WINNER OF SALLY PENNANT STORY OF GAME THE CHARLESTON TEAM. Hera le the team which seems to have the Sally League race sewed up in a sack. A 'glance at the pic ture will show a surprisingly large number of ex-Southern Leaguers. Here are the men: 1, Jack Evers, catcher; 2, Geo. Wilkerson, first base; 3, Bob White, pitcher; 4, Ed. Foster, pitcher; 5, Tom Raferty, left field; 6, Pat Meaney, right field; 7, Bugs Raymond, pitcher; 8, Jack Mul- lin, center field; 9, Ote. Johnson, captain and shortstop; 10, Phil. Reislnger, catcher; 11, Steve Griffin, third base; 12, Lguis Snippy, second base; 13, Wilton Matthews, manager; 14, Geo. Paige, pitcher. ATLANTA WILL PLAY HERE ALL THIS WEEK Atlanta will play a,t Ponca DeLeon all the week. The series of three garnet scheduled to be played In Montgomery this week will be fought out Instead on Atlanta's baseball battlefield. . This decision was reached at a meeting of the league directors Tues day, and came about as a result of th* grandstand In Montgomery blowing down. The schedule except for the transfer of these three games from Montgomery. to Atlanta remains un changed. This Is one Instance where. It seems, and If all the facts are known, Atlanta will have a slice of this transferred game pie. The difference between this Instance and several of recent years where others profited Is that there Is a good excuse for the transfer of this sqrles. Announcement of the transfer Is made by Lowry Arnold, who attended the league meeting. Lots of Fighters, No Fights; Writes Jack Foy of Atlanta With a full 90 per oent of the pugilists "on the make" and the game at crooked at a snake throw ing a fit, an honest pugilist hat a hard time making a living. Witness the sad plaint of our friend Jack Foy, the Atlanta wel ter weight who went up to the East looking for a fight. He writes; I have been trying to get, on a fight with anyone at any weight, but they all sidestep me. The match makers aeem to be willing, but the fighters are all looking for aoft things, and easy money. They are not willing to run the chance of getting a licking from a stranger. I offered to take any one, giving away from 10 to 16 pounds, but real fighters are scarce In New York. There are a plenty of them here who claim to be scrappers, but they had rather watch a fight than to be In one. They train all tne time and never fight. This fellow Orupp, of St. Louie, who has been going some In Now York, winning all of his fights nnd knocked out Kid Stine, the follow that said he was never knocked hut. Well, Willie Orupp eaya that he will go twenty rounds with me this fall for a decent purse. I think that will bo easy enough to get. Orupp Is a welter weight. He spoke as though might get It on at Hot Springs. I was promised a good fight with Mickey McDonough, the New York middle weight, to go on at the Crown club In Brooklyn tonight, hut I notice a piece In this morning’s paper that the club will be closed for the summer. So nothing doing. These New York fighters claim to be about three weights lower than they are. The light heavies are all middles and welterweights. At that rate must be a lightweight. Well, things don't look so easy as one would think. All I thought a fellow would have to do was to let them know that you were looking for a light and you would get all the fights you wanted, but It Is very different. Yours, JACK FOY. (MHMIHHmiMIHMIHIItMHIMIHIHMHIi i Just Notes The western clubs of the Southern League will send two twlrlera at least to the big leagues—Keith and Suggs. The former ha* not been doing so well this year. But he has unusual ability and may do better with the ma jors. The career of George Suggs with De troit will be watched with Interest. Suggs Is admittedly one of the most remarkable twlrlera that the Southern League has ever seen. And his worth as a slabater Is testified especially by the batten who have worked against him. Both Bill Smith and John Dobbs believe him to be.the poesessor of the most remarkable curves In the league. But somehow George can't win bis games. He can lose more one-hit and two-hit games than any other man In the South. Whether Jennings will be able to handle him and get him to do hit best and whether or not Detroit will support him remains to be seen. With condi tions favorable, Suggs ought to make a good pitcher for any man's team. Dale Gear, of the Montgomery team. Is a ball player worth noting. There Is a man who always plays the game, who takes good care of himself, who never make* any noisy kicks, and who fs a gentleman at ajl times. During the summer he plays baseball at a good salaary. In the winter he practices law. He eaves bis money and invests It. Geer baa a nloe law practice In Kan sas City (where until recently he owned a quarter Interest In the baseball asso ciation). Last winter be saw a nice chance to pick up some land In Okla homa, so he put In a bid for a chunk, got It, and will this fall go over and live there long enough to establish his claim to the land as a homesteader. Gear Is playing this summer to make enough money to pay for hts house on his new Okla homa land. When this house Is built and Gear has lived there long enough to make his claim good he will probably sell or lease the land and return to Kansas City to take up his law prac tice, He stands In pretty well politi cally there and is certain to get ahead. Men of Gear's stamp raise the tone of any league and show- the doubters that baseball players can be Just as respectable, substantial and desirable dtliena as anybody els*. Says The Jackeonvllle Times-Union; "The Columbia club, as It stands today, le a good on*. The Infield Is made up of experienced players, headed by Jay Kansler, one of the very best In this league. The outfield It also strong.” But If Columbia were represented by a team like the White Sox and didn't win any more games than the team Is now doing, how much profit would there be In It? The "dear public" are beginning to find out that as long at they continue to support Indifferent ball playing that Indifferent ball will be played.—Blrm- 1 nr ham Exchange The Vicksburg club In the Cotton States League has a player named Kavanaugh. "Kavay” plays short-stop and he plays his position In fine style. It Is not known whether or not he Is any relation to President Kavanaugh, of the Southern League. Every fan tn town ts wondering how Billie Smith is going to get a team for Atlanta next season, since Georgia “BIG” HARRY VAUGHN MAY NOT MANAGE BARONS NEXT SEASON Despite a snappy rain storm and a resulting mud-pie, the Crackers and the Barons managed to pull off one game of the double-header scheduled for Monday and Atlanta won, score 1 to 0. The first game started off with Castleton and McWeller in the bn* for the rival teams. x • Castleton. Just at present, enjoys the distinction of being the leading pitcher of the league. For a few short minutes, Monday, it looked a5 though he were coming off that perch. ** In tile second Inning, Gardner, the first man up, walked. Meek then ripped off a three-bagger, scoring Gardner. In an effort to catch MeeS off third, Castleton threw wild and the Big Train scored. * * This did not look so lovely for Atlanta and the fans heaved a Ur** sigh of relief when the rain fell. w The shower lasted a half hour or ho and when thirty minutes from the time of calling the game had passed the first gome was de clared off by Umpire Pfennlnger. Thin wtfQ ferenl consultations over the second one, a lot of haul ing about of tarpaulins.' considerable application of dry Hand and then it started. It was pretty late before the first gun was fired—somethin. like 4:30. mg A prettier game on a wet field would have been hard to find. Turner, for the Barons, and Spade, for Atlanta, pitched marvellouslv good ball. ‘ y Turner did not allow a clean hit and* only .two things that were called hits. One of these was apparently a clean muff of Winters' fly by MoieswoYth. The ball hit slap In Moley'fl paws and he dropped it. The other hit was Castro's bunt when he tried to sacrifice Jordan to second. He got "Cap" to the keystone sack all right but the Birming ham fielders were stuck In the mud and the Atlanta short stop went safe to first. Spade allowed five hits, but no two of them came in the same In ning and it never looked for a fleeting second as though Birmingham had a chance to score. The only time when the Barons were even re- • motely "near” wps in the third and then a neat double play ended the excitement. Atlanta scored her single run after Jordan had reached first on Wal ters* error and second on Castro’s queer single. Dyer advanced both men a base with one of the prettiest secrlficos seen In months and Otto scored when Sweeney hit a fielder’s choice. The pitcher got the ball and could easily have retired Ed at first. But he elected to try to land Otto at the plate and he wasn’t quick enough. Hackett and Pfennlnger umpired the game and got away with It all right. Neither is much loved by ttye Crackers, but both did satisfactory work Monday. Paskert made about the prettiest double play of the season when he ran about a mile for "Horseshoe” Smith’s near-Texas leaguer and after stabbing it with his gloved hand threw Demont out at second. Has Put Matter Up Owners'of the Club. To "I don't know whether I shall man age the Birmingham team next year or not." So says 'Harry Vaughn, now mogul of the Barone. i have put It up to the management and they have to glvo me an answer as soon ae I get gack, which Is Thurs day. 1 told them that they had to have a new team, whether I managed It or not; and that II they wanted mo to look out for them next year I wanted to get right out and buy and make plana to draft some men." "I told the owners of the team last, year." continued Vaughn, "that they would have to have tomo new men. I waa not satisfied with the team, for I knew about how It was going to be. I could see the team splitting up Into cliques and I bow the finish. But they said not to break up a winning team, so I let It go. "I want to say one thing," said Har ry, “and that Is that the Impression that some of the players are giving out that I have been taking their money away from them In fines, Is not the truth. I never cost a player on my team money until I put Clark on the bench. That fine sticks. But I never fined another player and I propose that It be known.” Vaughn has had a hard row to hoe. His team has been evenly divided this year—for him and against him and, In consequence, with a good team, he ha* been losing games. Presumably It Is the ol<^ trouble— some man (or men) on his team wants to succeed him as manager. But Vaughn refuses to talk about this or mention names. In reply to the Inquiry If he —>t to the bottom of the matter when he suspended Clark he ■aid, "Only partly." One thing can be taken for granted. If He Does Birmingham Gets New Team Next Year. < » though,. If Vaughn Is hack next year there will be practically a new staff of pitcher* and a pretty good shake- up throughout. One man on the team wouldn’t ob ject seriously-to coming to Atlanta and that Is Horseshoe Smith, one of the very best outfielders in the Southern League. "I have been three years In Birming ham.” says Smith, “and I guess that Is long enough. I like the t6wn but I would like a change better. I should be mighty well satisfied to come to Atlanta." And doubtless Atlanta would be very woll satisfied to get him. "Horse shoe" Is one of the best outfielders In the Icaguo and can bat the ball with the best of them. Three double plays were made in the second game—which Is quite a few for a muddy field. One of them was a Joke. It came about, In the fifth Inning, after Jordan had scored the lone run of the game. Castro was on third and Sweeney on second when Spade hit a grounder to Alcock. Castro tried to score, but Alcock threw to • Garvin and the Count doubled on his tracks. The ball wept to Alcock and back to Garvin a couple of times and meanwhile Castro was plowing up and down third base line through the mud. It looked to Sweeney as though Castro was a "cinch out" and Ed walked over and tried to cinch third base for his own use. ' It was evidently Castro's play to stay off the bag. but he didn't and by going back forced Sweeney off. Beth men were touched and put out by Gacvln. There was a lot of comedy work around tho bag and the crowd had a good laugh. It looked then as though Atlanta had wasted a good chance to score, but as It turned out only Otto's run was needed to win the game. *, The boy who operates the score board pulled off a good Joke on the crowd about d o'clock when he stuck up "Memphis 0, Shreveport 5” on the board. The crowd yelled itsolf hoarse and many of the fans did not tumble to the fact that they had been hoaxed until later, when the figures were taken down. As a matter of fact, owing to the strike of the telegraph operators, tt was Impossible to get the results from any games outside Atlanta. The fielding was more than fancy, considering the condition of the grounds. Bill Dyer pulled off some spectacular things and Otto Jordan, around whose stand the omlsture was decidedly moist, did equally brill iant work. Every time Otto went fast after a ball he slid about ten feet But he always managed to stay right side up.

In one of th* games of the series played In New York about a week since. Dahlen took Bowerman’s throw when Kllng tried to steal and was waiting for Johnny to arrive to touch him out. Kllng stopped in his tracks when with in a few feet of second, and assuming the antics of a typical Bowery peddler he commenced waving his hands In an excited manner and sold. "Touch me easy. Bill, pleas* do. I am sick In mind and tore In body, and for the days when we played together, touch me easy.” All this time Kllng was backing away from Dahlen and Bill was following leisurely, thinking It would be a cinch out. , Kllng turned his hekd toward first Just once and he saw that Roger Bres- nahan, who was playing the Initial sock, had walked 20 feet away from first and was watching the Kllng-Dah- len skit. Turning like a flash. Kllng ran for first and made It with case, while Dahlen and Breznahon stood stock still, so great was their surprise and chagrin at being so easily duped. The crowd roared with delight, de spite the fact that It was a Cub player who had pulled off the trick, and It was five minutes before play was resumed, Kllng being cheered to the echo.—Ex change. Baseball fans who are wondering where the Pelican club got the money to build a 675,000 park on Carrollton avenue, says Will R. Hamilton, In The New Orleans Item, after winning legal con tentions over Colonel Sullivan, the city council and a fqw property-holders who objected to a park In that part of the city, won't have to go very far to find the answer. New parks. Third Baseman Crosses and other luxuries that come very high qbe being purchased solely on the sav ings of Secretary Helnemann. This Is the straight dope and It exemplifies the axiom that It’s not what you make, hut what you save that makes you rich. And everybody knowii that tho Pelicans couldn't buy many parks with the slim crowds they’re drawing at this stage of the game. Since Helnemann haa been secretary of the ball club he has saved, accord ing to Lee Garrlgan, the gatekeeper, exactly twenty-three million dollars and twenty-three cents. There might have been a few mills, but Le# says the secretary spent these for peanuts for the crowd, trading, of course, at his own peanut stand. This marvelous sum was saved by the secretary In many ways, some of which follow: Not hiring brass bands on the Fourth of July and other holidays. Not providing the press stand with chairs, nor even soap boxes. Not renting flags of , the different nations on holidays. Keeping the bands of cigars. Using 1*05 rain-checks for 1907 gate tickets.
