THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 18,1007.
YOU CANT FORGET BASEBALL WITH THAT AMERICAN LEAGUE RACE ON
Now that it’s all over and the pennant is won, did you
ever stop to think why it happened?
Probably not. Most of the thinking of the “why” variety
is done by the fans whose teams have lost.
The writer hast)’t any theories—except his old one that it
take* a lot of luck for any team to win a pennant.
But he believes thnt it can be figured out.
There isn’t much use in talking about “superior team work”
and “inside play.”
The Birmingham papers fed us thnt until we sickened last
fall and we scoffed nud said thnt, just to prove it, we would guar
antee that the Barons could not “repeat it.”
And they did not.
So we may ns well dismiss the “superior teahi work,” with
out much discussion. Sufficient to say, though; thnt the Atlanta
team of 1.907 knew as much “inside ball” as any team that ever
played in the league.
’ And for this knowledge much credit is due Otto Jordan.
Otto knows about ns much baseball (Is any man who ever came to
the South and he does not mind imparting thnt knowledge to the
men on the team he captains.
Otto has taught the secrets of baseball to those members of
the team who needed to learn them and he has done much to
weld together nn infield made up of an ex-outlaw league player,
a mnn one year removed from the Sally league, a veternn of a
score of leagues and himself into an aggregation of “ball stop-
pers.”
Probably more than any one; thing the superiority—call it
“class” if you want to—of the men individtmlljWtut ice.
Both catchers proved stars. Jim Fox, though he did not play
ns well as last year, came around at the right time and put up a
fair game throughout the whole season. At second Otto Jordan
had it on anybody in the league. Cnstro was never shown up at
short and would hnve ranked any of them if his batting had
been stronger.
At third Dyer was the weak member for a long time, but
right nt the end’ of the season when Bill Smith just HAD to have
a good mnn there, Dyer came ’round and played the best bnll in
the league.
The outfield was unquestionably the best in the South. Pas.
kert in left field hnd it over every performer in tfic bunch. Win
ters played a steady game nt center and Becker was a hard and
successful worker in left field.
At fielding no team was superior to Atlanta. Of course New
Orleans hnd us beaten nt third base and maybe Montgomery
and New Orlenns did at short. But when it enme to tenm fielding
there was nothing to it hut Atlanta.
Pinch hitting wns one stunt of the Crackers that came as
near ns any to winning the pennant. The Crockers hnd n way of
starting off a batting rally in the “bloody seventh” and keeping
it going until the game wns won. Then it stopped again, for the
Crackers seemed to have an objection to hitting when it was not
necessary.
It must hnve been “pinch hitting” thnt won if nny kind
did; because thnt was the only kind at which the Crackers
“shone.”
Along in March the bunch looked like n lot of sluggers. Sid
Smith hnd led the league the year before, Fox hail batted nt a
.800 clip the previous year—up to the time he wns spiked; Jordnn
and Castro had been hitting steadily; Dyer was regarded as
something of a “batster;” Paskert was counted on for his share
of the hits; Winters wns accounted a .285 hitter, and Becker hnd
led the Northern Copper Country Dengue the previous year.
And yet, with sueh an array of talent, tho hitting wns not
marvellously heavy and almost every man on the team fell off in
hitting.
At the first of tho season most of the men on the tenm hit nt
par or better and for awhile the Atlanta team led the league at
team batting. But then came tho slump—and with it—for some
unaccounted renson—the team won more games than ever. ' All
of which wns very mysterious because tho stntifnent has never
been controverted thnt it “takes hits to make runs.”
Too much stress can not be laid on the work of the pitchers.
At the start of the season Rube Zeller practically carried the
team on bis shoulders. He wns the wonder of the league and no
team could beat him. Later on he went to pieces and for awhile
there seemed to be nobody in the bunch who could win. Then
with a rush Castleton, Spade and Ford came around and begnn to
win games right and left.
This went on for awhile and then, when things looked bleak
again, Edwin Mackenzie wns picked up and he won steadily from
that time until the end of the season.
So there you are. We have given you the chief points of ex
cellence of the Cracker tenm. It wns the combination, plus a lit
tle luck, thnt put the thing through.
"Bugs” Raymond Entertains ,
Before the Battle Begins
"Played up" under a big two-
column head, C. It. Power, of The
Pittsburg Dispatch, has the fol
lowing dope about ‘‘Buga" Ray
mond, the ex-Atlanta pitcher:
"McCloskey says I’m a wonder; don’t
you, Mac?"
"Gee, I bent that one sideways."
"Come over here, Willis, and I’ll
■how you how to pitch."
"8ay, fans; you ought to he out here
to see what 1’tn doing with the hall."
"What's that—you paid 75 cent* to
get in? Well, you’l get the wqrth of
your money because I am going to
pitch. Who am I? Silly dunces to ask
Mich a question. 1 am ’Bugs' Ray
mond, late star of the South Atlantic
League.”
These and a few more along the same
line were indulged In by Pitcher Ray
mond. one of the new twirlers of the
St. Louis club, as he warmed up In
front of the grandstand previous to
yesterday’s game.
And It’s no wonder they cair him
"Bugs.” He deserve* the title, and Just
for a starter has Rube Waddell beaten
to a frazzle. 'Tis said of Raymond
that he buys 10 cents’ worth of peanuts
every day that he muy feed them to a
monkey wrench which he carries in his
grip.
It a Breezy Bug.
Raymond Is a big fellow, with a full,
round face and a merry expression.
Luring hit warming up process
"Rugs" kept members of both teams
and the spectators In the right wing of
the grandstand In good humor.
Bvery time he delivered a ball to the
catcher he had some comment to make,
and It wns plain thnt he was highly
pleased with himself.
When the game began, "Bugs" took
his position on the mound, and It must
be said of him that he can pitch some.
It was no fault of hts that the Cardinals
were soused 6 to 1, for had his support.
Ing company behaved well the Pirates
would have experienced considerable
difficulty In landing the victory.
Raymond has plenty of speed and on
unlimited assortment of foolers and he
knows how to make use of everything
at his command.
Little foolishness does he Indulge In
while performing on the mound, but In
responding to the plaudits of the push
as he sauntered In from the diamond
between Innings "Bugs ’ gave some very
amusing exhibitions.
HOT RACE THR EE SUN PROOF STARS
STILL ON
Athletics, Sox and Naps
Lose, and Detroit Wins
Again.
That American League race In not
loosening up a bit aa the days pass.
Philadelphia, the leading team, lost
again Tuesday. So did Chicago, which
team Is second. Detroit won and Cleve
land lost two.
So tho two teams on top came down
some and the fourth-place team came
up a peg.
If Philadelphia can't shake fiut of
the present losing streak It Is all off
with Connie Mack. New York beat the
Athletics 11 to 3 on Tuesday. Hogg,
Blair and Klelnow did the battery work
the Yankees. Craig, Bartley,
Cpombs and Schreck performed In a
similar capacity for the losers.
St. Louis beat Thlelmnn In the open
ing game and Clarkson In the second
for Cleveland, both times by narrow
margins. Another wallop like that and
the Naps are down and out.
Detroit beat Chicago and did It most,
ly as a result of the awful drubbing
they gave our ofil friend Smith. Hetver
for the Tigers was exceptionally good.

Clemson’s Prospects Fair,
New Material "Looks Good”
Hpcclnl lo The Georgian.
Clemson College, 8. C., Sept. 18.—
Clemson opened September 11, with the
biggest enrollment In her history.
There are over 700 students In the
barracks.
It Is too early to say much of the
prospects of the football team, espe
cially since such men as Captain Fur-
tick, the great halfback; O. L'. Der
rick, the star fullback; B. D. CTurter,
the sturdy lineman; Keel, Latimer and
Wood will not be back.
There Is nn abundance of material,
of course, but new men are uncertain
quantities.
Coach Hhaughnessy has been here for
several days and has his men at prac
tice ,every afternoon.
Manager R. A. Held has made a
strong schedule, the hardest perhaps
that Clemson has ever hod. Clemson's
goal line was not crossed lost year,
but with four such games as Auburn,
the University of North Carolina, the
University of Georgia and Davidson
coming within a period of ten days,
the Tiger will have to hustle this year
to keep his lair from being desecrated
by the enemy.
Following Is the schedule:
September 28—Gordon Institute, pn
campus.
October 0—Maryville, on campus.
October 21—University of Tennessee,

October 31—University of North
Carolina, In Columbia (state fair).

GORDON LOSES MANY GOOD MEN,
BUT HAS MUCH GOOD NEW MA TERIAL
Probably no Georgia prep school
team will bo watched with greater In
terest this year than the Gordon team,
which has bit off a vary ambitious
schedule and which gives promlso now
of being able to "chaw" It with credit
—though perhups few victories
romo its way.
The first scrimmage of the Gordon
team Saturday* wns rather a disap
pointment, as the men failed to gain us
was hoped, and on defense seemed to
lug. p
However, this Is no doubt oue to the
fact that the majority of the men are
new to the game.
With only four old men bnck, Coach
Blake is facing the toughest proposi
tion of his coaching experience. The
entire back field bus to be tilled, besides
an end, one tackle and two guards, and
he 1ms only two substitutes, both line
men, with which to fill the gaps.
Added to this Gordon has a schedule
that would inako some of the best col
lege teams In the South hustle to win.
Ah yet they have received no re
sponses from the several prep teams
with which they should have games
This they regret very much, for they
are forced to play out of their class or
remain Idle and abolish football there.
The fact that they play the big teams
Is apt to cuuse the public to think that
they are egotistical and that the preps
are Ignored by them, whereas they aro
the ones who are the objects of prep
school Indifference.
if they could get three or four prep
teams on their list they might make
a better showing, for the defeat which
Is sure to come at the hands of the col
lege teams will tend to discourage the
piaver* and the public will Judge them
as getting what they deserve for at
tempting such games.
However, the Gordon men expect to
work hard and hope the sporting ed
itors will deal leniently with the team.
The old men to return are: Captain
Prout, center and full back; Mercer,
tackle; Blnlon, end, and Joe Smith,
quarter.
Prout Is a heavy man and very fast
«nd aggressive. He runs well with the
ball ami would make a good full or
tackle, but Is too valuable In snapping
the ball out at center. If another cen
ter can be developed Prout will move
to tackle, where he will make the
strongest man In the line. His long
experience In the game makes him in
valuable in forecasting the propable
line of attack of the opponents. HU

thr game Thanksgiving presumably
cost Gordon the game In Macon.
Mercer Is a good man at tackle, but
lucks the aggressiveness necessary for
a line man to elicit favorable notice.
He has all the weight and speed one
could ask, but seems to be satisfied
with stopping a play at the line on de
fense Instead of breaking though und
getting his man back of the line.
This, though. Is a fault common to
prep pien, and If they want to niak
good against the college men they must
he aggressive ns the devil himself.
This Is what) made (’horn, of Vander
bilt, the greatest line mnn In the South.
He should keep his opponent on the de
fense at all times and never let the op
position get the Jump on him. This
season should make Mercer a star lino
man and a little more of that aggres
siveness so essential to a successful
line man will turn tho trick.
Blnlon, at end, is a heavy mnn. but
rather slow. He is greut on blocking
the tackle and extra man. He Is being
tried at half, but will have to negotiate
a little more speed to annex a berth ir.
this department. He Is a sure tackle,
knows the game well and with a little
speed will make a good man for some
college team.
Joe Smith, at quarter. Is, with the
probable exception of Uaptuin Prour,
I he most versatile player on the squad.
Ills experience nt quarter has given
him excellent Judgment, In running tho
team and In addition Is a handy man
nt kicking, and will In all probability
bo depended on for the bulk of the
booting. He Is a sure tackier In the
buck field and seldom lets a mnn get
away from him.
Moore Is showing great form nt full
back and will have no trouble In up
holding his predecessor’s reputation at
this position. Being an exceedingly
fast man for his weight, he will no
doubt prove a terror to the opposing
line and all Gordon supporters are re
lying on him to develop Into the best
fullback that has ever attended school
in Bamesvllle.
He Is es|»ecially effective In the In
tciference, running low and hard and
seldom falls to get his man out of the
play.
Tockran nt half Is another new man
who has won much admiration for his
fine offensive anil defensive work. With
the ball In his possession, he Is proba
bly as sure a ground-gainer as any
man on the team and Is a very strong
man In blocking when one of his team
mates Is carrying the hall.
The end positions are both open, for
with Blnlon shifted to the back Held no
other veteran is left to take care of the
termini of the line.

"The prospects are so much better
than last year," says Coach Helsman,
"that there Is no comparison. We have
more men and better men. Last year
the fewness was not so discouraging as
the fact that the football material was
bad. If I had another bunch of men
like last year’s I guess I should retire

"It is odd,” continued Captain Sweet
"that Tech never seems to get any good

whom we were counting on, went to
Vanderbilt.
"I guess It Is because It Is hard to

so much better this year than last that
we are all well satisfied."

To the Shreveport fans this Is grati

Eva Wilhelm’s world’s-record-breaking

Fisher holds n remarkable hitting

Barrett Is a new man and has never

tackier. His only deficiency Is In learn

aimed at the end of the line.
Anderson and Trimble are about on a
par and are good men. but not so fast
as their two competitors.
Mercer anil Lawrence with Captain
Prout will fight It out for the tackle po

Lawrence Is the heaviest of the trio,
but needs a little more speed to keep up

the game and will make Gordon a good
lineman.
Hogg and Johnson, last year’s sub-
linemen, will be pushed hard for the
guards by Henley, Griffith, Zellner,
Henderson and Whatley. All of them
have weight enough nnd the ones that
can develop the most speed and charge
