THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. THURSDAY. AUGUST 15,1907.
DESPITE TWO WALLOPS, CRACKERS STILL FIGHT FOR RAG
Here Are Some Recent Happenings in the Race For the Pennant, and Pictures of Three Men Who Figured
| It's a queer game, tbls baseball.
1 And when the fates take a hand
2 there Is not much telling what will
: happen.
2 Evidently the fates have cut In
2 the game. For try as Atlanta will
2 there Is no copping the lead.
2 IVhat Atlanta fans have been
t praying for was a defeat for Mem-
2 phis.
1 It came Wednesday. But the At-
2 Ianta team took that day to swal-
2 low Its second consecutive defeat.
2 And here we are back at the old
2 stand and one full game behind
2 the Memphll.
} Gee, but It's strenuous!
A lusty wallop nos* and again Is
alleged to have a beneficial effect
In clearing the atmosphere of a
baseball team.
If so the Crackers ought to have
the clearest atmosphere In the
business. For the thing that Birm
ingham handed them Wednesday
afternoon was about the lustiest
yet.
The score was 7 to 1.
And right here It may be men
tioned that this tale has a moral
and It comes right now/
When the Birmingham team hit
the burg It was disorganised and
altogether out of joint. While
the members were determined to
put up as good an exhibition as
usual, they weren't going to sprain
any ligaments. They haven't been
doing It this season anyway.
In the first game Tuesday they
showed that nothing mattered
much. They tossed the game away
In the first Inning and then did
their best to hurry It through. All
they wanted we.s a little chance to
fatten their batting averages. They
said so afterwards.
But Ford was out for a record
and he soaked that old spit ball
over the plate 'till their heads
swam. Also Paskert grabbed some
files In the outfield that the Barons
MMMIHIHMMIIMMM
| NOT NEWS, BUT VIEWS
Wc have remarked on aevoral occasions that Atlanta bad a
shade better team than Memphis.
Wc are pleased to see our judgment backed up by so eminent
an authority ns Grantland Rice. lie writes in The Tennessean:
4 fan writes In to aak how wc flgure Atlanta's team is
stocked up with better talent than the Memphis array, claiming
that In his opinion Babb has the best bunch In tho league.
It's all a matter of one's opinion any way you look at it, but
lining ’em up side by side, wc draw tho following deductions, or
words to practically the same effect:
Smith and Sweeney back of tho platter are several notchos
above Hurlburt and Owen. There's no getting around this.
Zeller and Stockdale are about equally elfectivo, while Castlo-
ton and Bills seem to be on a par. Ford is over)’ whit as good
as Suggs, while Spade and McKenzie may lie a short notch below
Cristall and Shields. There isn't any great difference in tho two
hurling corps, but if there's a shade It goes to Memphis.
Fox and Carey are pretty well matched, although Steeplo
Jim has a few short plunges the best of the leap.
Jordan outclasses either Plass or Manning, while Babb looms
up at an equal altitude over Castro. Dyer looks a bit better thau
Richards, thus giving Atlanta a brief advantage over Memphis
around the inlleld.
The Georgia outfield Is far and awn/ better than any other
In Dixie. Paskert is above Manning, Winters Is a notch above
Neighbors and Becker looks much better than Carter. Paskert
Is batting 10 points above Manning, Winters 30 points above
Neighbors and Becker nearly 50 points above Carter, while the
Atlanta trio is also faster on picket duty.
Taking them team for team—Atlanta's material looms up at
least 25 per cent above Mr. Babb’s baseball bric-a-brac.
All of which goes to prove that we have as good a chance
for the pennant ns Memphis.
Mabel in the Press Box
By WILLIAM F. KIRK.
Mabel sat In the press box. a charming West Side queen,
Mabel, little Mabel, with her face against the screen.
"Why do they call the pitcher Hogg?" she asked her fleshy friend,
"And what is it makes the bait he throws take such a funny bend?
"I’m glad you write for the paper, and got me this dandy seat—
Look at that cute little umpire! Isn't he just too sweet?
What does he mean, I wonder, when he shouts 'Strike tuh!' so loud?
Just bea.- the spectators yelling! Ain't It an awful crowd?
"Isn't that catcher a darling? Look at his nice black hair!
Why does he wear that pillow ? Why do the players swear?
Look at that blonde up In the box! Well, I never In all my life!
I'll bet she’s a vaudeville actress, or else an actor’s wife!
‘"There's a man two rows behind me—don’t look around Just now—
That one with the big fat stomach and a forehead Hk<- a cow.
He's trying to flirt with me, dearest; I think I saw hltn wink;
Never mind now—he's going out—I s'pose to get a drink.
“Who's that fine old fellow sitting three seats from you—
The one with the silvery hair, love, and eyes of hazel hue?
Til bet he’s a dandy writer, he looks so grave and smart—
Oh, he turned around and smiled at me—well bless his dear old heart!
•What's that? Is the game all over, and must we really go?
I've had the loveliest afternoon, and I certainly thank you so!
I think It was one of the finest games that I have ever seen!"
Said Mabel, little Mabel, with her face against the screen.
—New York American.
V
thought might have gone safe If
he hadn't sprained himself to get
tinder them. This, according to the
cohorts of Vaughn, was bad base
ball manners.
The consequence was that the
Barons got a grouch.
They turned loose In the second
game Tuesday and played spectac
ularly, Just out of revenge, nnd on
Wednesday they did their blamed-
est. And they played the kind of
ball thot won the pennant In 1006,
and the Crackers never had a look-in.
Those last two games Just went
to show what the Barons might
/ have done this season In the way
of baseball If they had not been so
busy playing politics and trying to
make It a losing proposition for
Harry Vaughn.
We have our old friend Gene De
mon! to thank foi) the awful effort
which was made to beat Atlanta
and which resulted so successfully.
He organized the forces and put
the ginger Into this men that gave
them the battle.
There Is no beating a team that
tries so hard to win as Birmingham
did. Wilhelm pitched Just the brand
of winning ball that he always does
when he quits politics and attends
to baseball and It was a magnifi
cent exhibition.
And the Birmingham players,
white they did not field up to 1906
form, batted hard enough to make
up for It.
The game proved quite conclu
sively that Vaughn's team could
have come rather near winning
the pennant this year If they had
had any luck and If the players
had tried.
HARRY VAUGHN.
Manager of team that harpooned
Memphis fans are getting hysterical over tho fear that
Charley Babb will be drafted nnd that they will be deprived of
his services in 1908.
There does not seem much cause for worry.
If any of the big league teams had been after Bnbb they
would have landed him Inst year. At that time ho was batting
and fielding much more brilliantly than now.
But the real reason why there is no great danger is that
there is sort of a general understanding among major moguls
that they will not draft minor league malingers.
Just whnt screws tho minor leaguers are able to put on tho
big boys to keep them “hands off” on the managers is uncer
tain. But the. screws exist all right and are put on.
Of course there is nothing but n “gentleman’s agreement”
to keep tho major managers from drafting, nnd ns all the big
leaguers aro not gentlemen, it may happen that Bnbb will bo
picked up.
But it will not do to worry about.
Lenguo directors’ meetings in tho Southern League are get
ting to bo humorous sketches. Tho one in July was n joke, be
cause nothing was done. The one in August was a hoarse
laugh, because a quorum was not on hand.
Looks ns though what tho league needs is some directors
who take enough interest to direct. Stern of New Orleans
and Amerine of Montgomery seem to take very little interest
in baseball and have an irritating way of skipping meetings.
The less said about the same
from the Atlanta standpoint the
leas feelings hurt). Bn we will
not dwell at any length on the
thing. Zeller was hit pretty hard
and Ills support left everything to

be desired.' From the very first
Inning It was a losing game for
Atlanta and nothing mattered
much except to get It over with.
The sole run Atlanta made was
duo to the deliberate and thought
ful kindness of our friend Car
los Smith. With two down In the
ninth ton!tig and Jordan on sec-
"lul. Hill I>y,w M-m on.- out I" i 'nr-
los Smith nnd "Horseshoo” muffed
It with calm unconcern. Jordan
scored and Smith threw Dyer out
at second, ending the game a cou
ple of seconds after Otto had tal
lied.
Becker and Winters strayed
Into an unusual double play In the
third Inning. Becker singled and
Winters followed with n long fly
to MoleBWorth. Becker must hove
thought It was due to be a hit for
he was caught off first and tagged
out by Meek.
When a pitcher of tho batting
caliber of Wilhelm—“Wlll-hell-um'’
tho umpires call him—makes a
two-bagger and a home run In
tho same game there Is something
loose somewhere.
■'Little Eva" was certainly wqrk-
Ing for that game, drat him. ‘ ,
Molesworth's hit in the fourth In
ning came within a whisker of
being "out second to first." It look-
cd out a mile, but His Umps said,
otherwise and was undoubtedly
right.
Carlos Smith wusn't hitting ’em
any!
All he got was a pair of two-
baggers and a home run!
In the midst of all tho sorrow
It Is pleasant to recall that the At
lanta players did some brilliant
fielding.
Otto Jordan and Lou Castro
were especially good at pulllne
down hard ones. ’
After Wilhelm hit his home run
Lee Garvin went through the pan-

New Orleans Papers Charge Finn With
Not Trying to Beat New Orleans Club
Charges of throwing games, intentionally poor ball playing and the like have been unusually numerous in
the Southern League this season.
Such a charge, however, as that made by the New Orleans papers—that Finn threw a game to New Or
leans—has never been heard before In tho memory of mortal fan. Often enough the accusation will be made
that teams are throwing games to rival clubs but papers don't often charge visiting teams with throwing
games, to the home teams.
But, read this, from The New Orleans Picayune, In regard to the lost Little Rock-New Orleans game,
which the Pelicans won by an overwhelming score: /
Ne-.v Orlcani 16, Llttlo Rock 0.
Doubtless there were many specta
tors among the 4,000 baseball patrons
at Athletic park yesterday afternoon
who have upon several occasldns sat
or stood around the grand stand In-
closure of some race track and watched
Jockey "choke" a horse within an
Inch of his life to keep him from run
ning over his field and finishing way
out In front. Perhaps, too, there were
spectators present who have "fallen"
for the foot race fakir of despised mem.
ory who flourished throughout the
country from five to twenty years ago.
If there were any such In the stands
watching the alleged ball game, the
Inst of the season, between the New
Orleans and the Little Rock clubs they
saw a contest deliberately thrown
awny—a farcical exhibition of the
grandest athletic game ever Invented,
a prostitution of n sport beloved for
its wonderful possibilities of manly
contest and clean athletic endeavor,
a sport that claims more followers than
all other field events put together.
And to Mike Finn, manager of the
Little Rock and one-time foot-racer,
attaches the stigma for this rankest
exhibition of ball playing ever pulled
off on any ball field. It Is true that
"Whltey” Guese pitched as great n
game as he ever did In his career, but
that Finn could have permitted Eyler
to occupy the pitcher's slab beyond that
awful second Inning, If he really de
sired to win the game. Is absolute non
sense.
Eyler may or may not have been
working under Instructions In the sec
ond round, but he certainly took tho
count all too easy to satisfy honest
spectators and ringside patrons of the
sport Eyler did everything he should
not have dpne and nothing that any
sand lot players could not have ac
complished with far lesB show of fake.
After two men were out tho Pelicans
made five hits, and that sort of thing
happens on the square once in a de
cade of baseball. In this round Eyler
hit one man, walked one and made such
a bum throw to first of any easy chance
to field a bunt that two runners scored,
one coming all tho way from second
base.
That Inning was enough to send any
pitcher to the stable, but Finn contin
ued to sit out the matinee near the
box ofllce entrance, nnd made no at
tempt to change pitchers even after the
third Inning when the Pelicans nailed
Eyler for three tpore hits and three
runs. Had that bad Inning arrived
when the Pelicans were a mile ahead,
and in the last three or four rounds,
there would be logical reason to permit
Eyler to continue in the box and get
all the beating that could be handed to
him. There Is nothing to be gained by
relieving pitchers after the game Is
beyond recall, but Finn had seven long
Innings to overtake the Pelican lead,
and yet he made no effort to compel
Ills men to give a reputable exhibition.
BIG LEAGUERS

Charleston Will Sell Four
Players to Big
Leagues.
Special to The Georgian.
Charleston, 8. C„ Aug. 16.—Mullln,
Charleston's crack center fielder, will
probably be sold to Washington for a
top-notch price.
He makes the fourth man that will
leave the Charleston team at the end
of the season, as Raymond will go to
St. Louis for fl.OOO, Raferty and John
son go to the Pacific Coast Lenguo for
the aggregate sum of 61,000, and now
It looks like Mullln to Washington .for
over 61.000. Others of the team will
probably be sold at good prices, and
the owners of the club are Jubilant. A
players' day Is being planned for the
members of what looks like the cham
pion team of the league, and a snug
sum of money Is expected to be re
alised for them.

BOLTON ACCEPTS.
To L. H. Feagln:
I saw In The Georgian where you will
accept my challenge at the weight of
105 pounds for tbe lightweight chum-
ptonship. I think I ran come to terms.
I hare several bouts on now, but can
give you one also.
Thanking you In advance for an early
reply, yours truly,
HENRY BOLTON.
Six other errors were made by tho
Travelers other than the lnexusable
throw by Eyler In the second round and
every one of those errors were placed
where they would do the most good
for the Pelicans. The latter put four
men on first base on error*, which tells
in a way the kind of game the Travel
ers were playing. And then Stratton
and Ouase worked off a double steal at
another period of the farce. Think of
It, Mr. Fan. you who have followed
the "dopo" this season, Stratton and
Guese getting away with a double
steal!
It Is harder to pick out a crooked ball
player than It Is to catch a crooked
Jockey or brand a foot-race faker, (pr
nine men are In the game all the time
on each side and six or eight of them
may not know that the race Is 'fixed.”
But though this Is an established prin.
elide of baseball, probably no sworn
evidence could be produced suflictently
strong to convince that Jury of 4,000
baseball patrons that the Little Rock
team, under the management of Mike
Finn, did not deliberately and with
malice aforethought decline to win that
baseball game yesterday from the New
Orleans club.
What advantage there was to lose, or
why lie should wish to lose, ho dne but
Mike Finn knows, but the game was
certainly the rankest kind of an exhibi
tion on the part of the Travelers any
team in any league in the country has
played this season.

them, lost the third game of the scries
to the Pelicans of New Orleans Wed'
nesday afternoon by the score of 3 to 2.
"Whltey" Guese putJ It all over Joey
Bills. Guese was hit harder than .Bills,
but even at that he had better sup
port and won. Memphis made two er
rors and New Orlean* none.
Montgomery defeated Nashville Wed
nesday In tho Climbers' town by tho
score of 4 to 0, Because of the teleg
raphers' strike ft Is Impossible to get

to 1, and played them to a standstill In
the second. The Anal score of the sec
ond game was 0 to 0 In thirteen Innings.
Hughes, the new addition to the Trav
elers' slab corps, pitched phenomenal
hall In the second contest.■ For ten full
Innings not a single hit was made off
him. The Travelers played errorless
ball and the Pirates never had a chance
tc score. Shreveport made only four
hits during the whole game. Eyler and
Becker worked In the first game and
both pitched good ball. Beeker received
better support than Eyler.
The much-talked-of down-and-out
Columbia club woke up Wednesday aft
ernoon and defeated the strong Jack
sonville team by the score of 2 to 1.

nothing with his deliver!'. Connie Mack,
of the Philadelphia club, used four
pitchers to stem the tide of defeat, but
