LAST CAMPAIGN THROUGH WEST BEGAN ON SUNDAY

NOT NEWS, BUT VIEWS
"We win the pennant sure.”
"Atlanta has got the greatest team in the world.”
"We knew Memphis was easy.”
"It’s all over but the shouting.”
If this isn’t the way Atlanta fans talk it is at least the way
they feel at present.
The Craekers took the opener and downed the Memphis team
on its own grounds. And it is hard to feel gloomy after that.
How the same fans will feel if the Crackers lose all the rest'
of the games to Memphis is another story.
But somehow all of us have a large, fat hunch that Atlanta
is not going to lose them all. If luck will only break right and
all the players will stay in good condition the prospects look
bright for a win or two.
It’s a hard, cold world thongb, that West. Any team from
the East that ventures over there is taking a chnnce. If the
Crackers can win they are the best ever. If they lose it’s all in
the day’s work.
But right now, with the team in the lead and going strong, the
prospects look bright.
Says Hugh Roberts in The Birmingham Age-IIerald:
Manager Vaughn denies having said all that Percy Whiting
of The Atlanta Georgian charged him with.
He states that he In no wise criticised the local manage
ment, nor did be indicate that the directors must come to him
on bended knees If they desired his services for another term.
The talk with tho writer, according to the manager, was In
formal, altogether.
And this, from Harry Vanghnl
Far be it from the writer to rush into print and call anybody
a prevaricator or anything like that.
But if Harry Vaughn says that he did not say in substance
what he was quoted as saying in The Georgian then Harry Vaughn
has edged so close to the shores of prevarication that you could
hardly tell his remarks from genuine mendacity.

IS INNINGS,.
BUT NO SCORE
This is one of Ilnrry Vaughn’s tricks. When talking for pub
lication ho loves to talk of tho beautiful scenery, the bright fur
niture, the delightful weather and things like that. If by chance
he happens to say anything worth printing and it is printed he
goes home and dqpies it. lie has done it for every writer in the
league who ever got anything worth publishing out of him.
Very likely Vaughn did not say, word-for-word, what we
quoted him as saying. But if Tho Georgian article was not cor
rect in meaning to the letter, then wo don’t understand the lan
guage “as she is spoke” by Vaughn.
When Vaughn states that the talk was “informal altogether”
he again takes unjustified liberties with tho tmth.
When a man talks with a newspaper reporter who has come
to him for news he naturally takes a chance of seeing in the
pappr some of his remarks, provided he does not ask that they be
suppressed. But on this occasion Vaughn knew so well that what
he said was going to be used that ho asked the writer not to men.
tion one statement he made—to-wit: the charge that orto man was
at the bottom of the attempt made all this year to overthrow him
os manager.
Lack of tho kind of nerve that makes a man stand for what
he says may account for tho poor showing of Vnughn’s tenm this
year. Evidently he has let his own players run all over him and
obviously they could have played bettor ball if they had had a
manager who could have made them do anywhere near their best.
We have been sorry for Vaughn at odd times. IIo has been
in a pretty warm position all the season. But by such acts as his
recent one he estranges himself from tho.se who over had any feel
ing in his favor.
Macon, Ga., Aug. 10.—In the last
game with Savannah this season, both
Macon and the visitors played the finest
game of baseball ever seen at Central
City park. For fifteen Innings both
teams played like flende, but neither
side could score.
Rowan, the old Atlanta pitcher, woe
In the box for Macon and pitched a
brilliant game of ball. In the fifteen
Innings only four hits were secured off
of him. He struck out twelve men
and only walked three, a record for
Macon pitchers.
Denver, the Savannah pitcher, also
pitched a fine game, allowing eight
hits.
At no stage during the game was
either side even close to scoring. Tho
team work on both sides was perfect,
but for on# error made by Stafford.
This afternoon Macon faces Colum
bia and will play threb games with the
tall-enders before Jacksonville comes
here for three. Then Macon tnkes to
the road for a series of three games
with Jacksonville. At the end of that
time she returns home, finishing the
season with Augusta.

Huff Leads All Contestants
In Georgia State Shoot
The best score made by any of the professionals In the last day of the
Atlanta Gun club’s shoot was the 112 of Walter Huff. He missed but 8
birds during the day. The best work by an amateur was done by
Rogers.
The scores of the third day’s shoot, together with the totals for the
three days, will be found below. The best record for the whole shoot was
made by Huff, who broke 678 out of 800.

lanta defeated Buford Saturday after
noon oii the latter's diamond by the

The L. and N. team, of The Georgian
Commercial League, journeyed to
Clarkiton Saturday and defeated the

YESTERDAY'S RESULTS.
Team Settles Down to Hard
Task of Staying
Near Front.
The first game In Memphis has come
and gone and Atlanta leads the league.
The margin Is small enough, to a cer
tainty; but It Is something pretty nota
ble to lead this Southern race, be It
for ever so short a time.
A win on Monday will put the Crack
ers just one block nearer Easy street.
A loss will drop them back one sec.
tlon nearer to Trouble alley.
So here’s hoping for a win.
CRACKERS WIN AND
NOW LEAD LEAGUE
Down the Dreaded Memphii on Their Own
Turtle Back, and Grab Lead in
Pennant Race.
It Is almost too much to expect that
Atlanta will keep In front during this
trip through the West. If she does tho
race Is sewed up In a sack. For, if
Atlanta comes home In the lead, no
team in tho business can head her.
However, such a thing Is a little too
good to be true, and Billy Smith’s main
fight will be to stay so near the top
that the position can be regained
when the Craokers return home for the
season’s wind-up. If they can stay
so near that eight or ten. wins out of
the remaining twelve games will bring
them victory then Atlanta Is pretty
likely to float a rag.
Atlanta fans have set themselves on
the winning of the rag. If Smith loses
It he will be footballed.—Birmingham
News.
Wrong again. Bill Smith wilt be with
us next year.
It seem, likely that Vaughn will man
age Birmingham next year. He said
when here that he would have to have
a decision from the directors at once
and that, .If he stayed, ho wanted to go
right out tedbtlng for players.
Well, ho has returned to Birmingham,
no announcement has been made of his
retirement and he has gono on a long
scouting trip.

STRONG 8COTTDALE CLUB,
The Maddox-Rucker ball team played
one of their best games of the season
Saturday when they downed Scott-
dale on the latter’s grounds by the
score of 2 to 1. The fielding of both
teams was brilliant at times, while the
work of the opposing s)abmen, Al
ford and Chewnlnr, was very effective.
Alford retired twelve men by the strike
out route, and Chewnlng struck out
eight. ,
With two men down In the ninth,
Scottdale scored two runs an two hits.
In the sixth, Williams lilt for a home
run.

when the East End nnd the White

The game resultell In a defeat for the

The features of the game were the
pitching of Patrick 'and. the catching
of Bearden. The manner In which
Weatherly covered the first bag is
also worth mentioning.
GOOD GAME AT FAIRBURN.
Falrbum, Go.. Aug. 19.—Douglasvllle
on Thursday afternoon defeated the
Falrbum baseball team by a score of
5 to 0.
The game was called at the end of
the flfth Inning on account of rain.
The only feature was the brilliant
work and heavy hutting of Bartlett at
second base for the visitors.
The batteries were; for Douglasvllle,
Selman and Enterkln; for Falrbum,
Greene and Jones.
Local fans will remember "Red”
Ehret, the ex-blg league pitcher who
was with Memphis and afterwards
Montgomery.
Here are the sad facts of "Red’s”
baseball finish:
Seattle fans In the right field
bleachers became angered because Um
pire "Red” Ehret allowed Butte to score
the winning run In the tenth Inning,
and made a mad rush for him.' Ehret
had his back turned and did not see
a man thrown out at first, which would
have ended the Inning. The fans In
the right field bleachers roared their
disapproval and a mob started toward
the field. A high railing makes It
hard to get out of the bleachers and
the crowd surged toward the entrance.
The frail .bannister along the side gave
way and about 100 men and boys were
hurled to the ground, some falling fif
teen feet, with the crowd piling down
on top of them. Con Walsh. Seattle’s
pitcher, who had run out to head off
the crowd, was knocked down and
trampled upon In the crowd’s frensy.
His left arm was badly bruised and
swollen. Helbsrt Gilchrist, aged 15, fell
fifteen feet and Is badly bruised. Ed
ward Phetterplace Is bruised about the
ribs and suffered several contusions. He
was unconscious for a time. Walter
Lynch, a 11-year-old boy, .subject
heart attacks, fainted from the excite
ment and a score of men and boys were
badly bruised, but none seriously hurt.
The collapse of the bleacher railing and
the Injury of several persons distracted
the attention of the crowd and Umpire
Ehret fled to the club house. He re
mained there until the mob had scat
tered. As an aftermath of the affair.
Manager Dugdale later In the day was
handed a letter. Just received from
President Lucas, announcing Ehret’s
dismissal. The letter was here before
the riot occurred. Jack Drennan, one
time Portland outfielder, will succeed
Ehret.—Seattle Post.
Memphis, Tenn., Aug. 19.—Before a crowd that filled the enormously
enlarged plant of the Memphis Baseball Association and overflowed onto
the grounds, the Crackers and Hustlers clinched hero yesterday in a
game that was to decide the leadership of the Southern League.
And Atlanta won. with the assistance of the snappiest baseball seen In
Memphis this year. Score 4 to 0.
There was only ono thing to It. Atlanta Just naturally outplayed
the local team at every Jcnown department of the game.
The pitching of Castlcton, the Ground Rent Man, was marvellous
Tho Mormon Southpaw has never been better this year and he hooked
’em over to the queen’s own taste.
Four hits was the sum total—one each for Neighbors and Richards
and a couple for "Nick" Carter. And with hits Into the crowd the
easiest things on record not a Hustler could land one Into unreachable
territory for more than a single bag.
There was nothing wild about the Mormon either. He Juat put ’em
over the plate and took a chance. Only twice did he give vent to four
wide ones and six times he fanned opposing batters.
He struck one batter and uncorked one wild pitch, but neither did anv.
thing more than momentary damage. And as the scoro would Indicate
neither those two bobbles nor anything else that happened allowed Mem
phis to get a run.
There was never much doubt In the minds of the Atlanta backeri
but that the Crackers were going to win.
They uncorked what looked like a scoring rally In the flfth and when
that turned out to bo nothing but a false alarm they let loose In the
sixth and scored a couple of runs.
Winters walked and went to the third sack on Paskcrt’s two-bagger
Into the crowd. Fox popped out but Jordan singled neatly and Winters
nnd Paskert scored.
Not satisfied without pulling off one of their seyenth-inning exhtbl-
tlons, tho Crackers scored a couple more In tho next inning, bringing
the score pp to what It was at tho finish—4 to,0.
The Atlanta team fielded perfectly. Not a hobble of ahy description
was made and the work. In the face of the rooting of that enormous
crowd, was notable. The strain seemed to tell more on the Babblers
and ono bad bobble by Babb had something to do with the scoring in the
seventh.
Stockdale pitched a fair game for the home team and was steady as
a church; but ho gave up hits when they meant runs.
In the flfth Inning Castro had the hard luck to get In front of una
of Stockdale’s benders and drew a bad soak. He was forced to retlr*
from the game arid Sid Smith went to short while Sweeney was called In
to catch. Castrd was not seriously hurt and will doubtless be himself
In a day or two.

SA TURD A Y’S GAME A TIE
The Saturday gamo was a. Bad, sad disappointment to the goodly
bunch of Cracker fans who turned out to sco the downfall of Manager
John Malarkey and hla hope destroyers.
The Crackers went slightly to pieces In the first Inning and a brace
of errors and a couple of hits netted the Pretzels two runs.
Then, the kind of baseball they played would do anybody’s heart
good. They were on tho spot with the greatest game ever, and shut the
Malarkeyltes out to tho end. Also they garnered one run in the second
and gathered In another In the third, thus tying the score. That was
about all for them and the game had to be called at the end of the sixth
Inning In order to allow the Crackers to catch tho train for Memphis.
If the lucky, famous seventh could have been plnyed, things might
have looked different, but alas! there was no seventh, Saturday.

IN THIS COLLECTION YOU WILL FIND ’MOST ANY OLD THING IN THE WAY OF BASEBALL DOPE
"Smiling" John Malarkey'* smile
drifted to a scowl, Saturday afternoon,
when he made a wild pitch and let
Becker score the tying run. In some
way, Malarkey thought Catcher Sea
baugh was responsible for the wild
fling. Malarkey, therefore, went to
"balling him out.” Or, anyhow, that la
the way It looked from the pres. box.
When the Senator, went tq their
bench, Malarkey renewed hi. attack on
Seabaugh. Seabaugh. who was onca a
Chicago Cub, and who waa sent to tba
minora by Frank Chance for a little
inure seatuning, would not stand the
.Sit Malarkey waa giving him, so ba

BUI Dyer did not play hla usual po
sition Saturday- afternoon, but h. was
In the game at Memphis on Sunday,
Just ths same. In some way, Friday,
Dyer sprung a Charley horse which re
fused to let him play Saturday. He
seems to be in good condition now,
however, and wUI probably play from
now on.
Sid Smith played third blue In fine
style, Saturday afternoon. Sid did not
make a single error, ullbough be had
two extra hard chances.
Neal Ball, the hard hitting Climbers’
short stopper, failed to make a hit Sat
urday, although he tried hla beet to
connect
Russell Ford pitched big league bill
after the first Inning. Ford was a little
nervous In this round, and hla error Is
accounted for by this fact. Ford
fielded hla position In good style, how
ever. He made four assists.
Castro made a two-base hit In the
fourth Inning, but It he bad run a Uttle
faster, he could have made three bags
on It with ease. Castro knocked the
ball away over the' center fielder’s
head, and just as Henline picked up the
sphere In center, Castro was on sec
ond. It would have been an easy three-
bagger for George Paskert.
