FRANK’S FAILURE TO WIN
HAS MADE THE FANS SORE
By PERCY WHITING.
Special Correspondence.
New Orleans, La.* Sept. 1.—Rather the
most nnuent! phenomenon of the present
Southern League Reason lias been the fall
ing away of the week-day crowds here
since the famous ‘‘rubber ball’* Incident.
Nothing which has happened In a South
ern League city, save, perhaps, the “dou
ble crossing" of the Nashville fans, has
done as much to disgust patrons of base
ball with the game as the charges and
• counter-charges which followed Hilly
Smith's famous escapade.
When the fans waked up to what had
happened and what charges were being
. made, they sickened of baseball with a
rush. If such things w«*re going on. they
did not want any of the game for theirs.
Strangely enough, the people seem prot-
f ty well united In believing Frank guilty,
and the slump In attendance, which re-
halted, has cut down the profit* of the
New Orleans club In a most emphatic
manner.
Hence, the soreness at Hilly Smith and
the Atlanta* club.
The other fights In the league have not
done the attends nee here any good. The
people hare concluded that because one
crooked stunt was pulled off—or was “al
leged” to have been pulled off—that the
whole game was on the blink. And so they
have cut It out to some considerable ex
tent
Of course, the fact that the New Or
leans team of 19(6 was a pennant winner
and that the one of 1906 was not has not
done any good. The fnrt thot a pennant
winner hurts the attendance In the pen
nant-winning town the next year has never
been more forcibly demonstrated than In
New Orleans. The faua seem to think
that, because Frank has not a team this
season which can go out In front, the
way his aggregation Inst year did, be is
playing them false this year.
Of course, the Idea Is a mistaken one.
Frank was lucky last year In landing a
couple of cheap men—Dygert and Hahn—
who helped his team wonderfully without
costing him very much. Yfct, It looks odd
to New Orleans fans that he can not per
forin this miracle twice running.
The attendance slump In New Orleans Is
not likely to he of long duration.
For one thing, the Innumerable amateur
and Independent teams are developing a
line of red hot fans who will eventually
turn to the Southern League fold. And,
moreover. It Is not going to take the peo
ple here many more months to realise that
because one stunt that looked bad
pulled off, la no sign that the game la all
crooked.
And when this realisation comes, the
fans will flock o\it again. In the mean
time, Frank and hla hackers are getting
n valuable lessou.
Cobb County Is Chortling
Over the Rise of N. Rucker
Ever since that calm and peaceful Fourth
of July In the year of grace 1904, when some
800 sturdy, stalwart sons of the old red hills
of the county of Cobh came down to At
lanta to see Nap Rocker, the beau sabreur,
the concatenated chivalry, the ne plus ultra
of Crnbapple, pitch Ills first guinc In the
Southern League, the Atlanta baseball club
nnd Its management have been very unpop
ular In the aforesaid county of Cobb.
The chief grievance against the Atlnntn
club seems to have been that Nap Rucker
couldn't fleld a bunt, and when the Mont
gomery team on that halcyon day In July
began to lay ’em down Nap almost spiked
himself In the nose trying to pick the bail
op.
Ah Powell then let Nap rest during the
remainder of the season, nnd Cobb county
got sore on him for bis lack of judgment
In not using so sdntlllant a twlrler.
As Nap remained an asset of the Atlanta
club the next year, when Powell sold out,
the new manager, Otto Jordan, gave the
hero of Crabapple a trial In the prelimi
nary games, lie was lambasted both by
Macon and Jacksonville and wns then re
leased. Otto Jordan Immediately became a
persona non grata In Cobb, and many were
the roasts of him received by Atlanta sport
ing writers from the stalwart sona of Cobh.
Now, Nap baa “learned some sense" .dur
ing his two years at Augusta, and has been
drafted by Connie Mack.
All of which Is explanatory of tho follow-
lug ons-paragraph avalanche from the Ma
rietta Courier's sporting editor:
"Nap Rucker Is no longer a bush leaguer.
He goes to the American, the fastest league
perhaps In the world. Jumped right over
the Southern! Well, well, well! Who
would have thunk It! Wonder what "bone-
head" Otlo Jordan thinks about It? Reckon
the "bonchcnded one" will lie called higher?
You know, Nap wasn't good enough to pitch
for Otto. Remember It,, don't you? Didn't
let him pitch a game. Just shooed him.
Now Otto Is still In the Southern, where
he will stay If he works right hard, but
Kap-where Is the fellow who Otto said
had a noggin like n calf's kneer-a solid,
marrowless bone? Oh, nowhere much. Just
up In the American League with Connie
Mack at Philadelphia. That fellow Mack
must not hnve much baseball sense. What
does he mean by signing Crnbapple Nap?
Why, hasn't Otto said that he wns nuts?
That ought to settle the matter. The ora-
e|e hath spake. We wish Nap could have
seen Otto play first boso In the double-
header with Montgomery. His revenge
would hnve turned to pity. By tho way,
Otto Is clouting tho hall In big league fash
ion now. Noticed It? Ter cent: .280. Look
out, Otto; nrooklyn will ho wanting you
back first thing you know. Hut tho real
subject of this essay Is Nap Rucker. And
what we want to say Is this: Rucker has
been leading the Month Atlantic League
nil the season, and has made a great record
as n l-to-0 artist sad ns a double-header
performer. Of course he may not make
out we hnve our bottom <lol’.nr on him Just
the same."

THAT EIGHTH INNING!
Eighth Inning Aerial Flight
Put Crackers to the Bad
By PERCY WHITING.
New Orleans, Kept. 1.—There are no explanations to offer, nnd apologies will be
omitted. The team Just had an off day nnd went up In the air as completely as a
high school team, losing Ignobly after norurlng a commanding lead. Score 7 to 4.
Harley exploded In the eighth after doing magnificent work, nnd the report of the
hlow-up wns heard for miles around. Ho had been holding the Pelicans down to
threo-men-up-nn-lnnlng. A little error by Jordan seemed to set him wild.
The fatal eighth came like this: Phillips' hot one was slapped down by Harley, but
Jordan missed It on the ricochet. Then enme two lilts, and with the bases full Har
ley lost ocntrol nnd walked Brouthers, forcing In Phillips. Blake singled past third
nnd Rtckert and Cargo Scored. With three runs In nnd nobody out, Harley was
yanked to the 5 bench and Zellar substituted. His arm was cold nnd his support
frayed, nnd hits nnd dumb plays followed until a total of seven runs had been scored,
the game lost and the team disgusted with Itself.
Hitting by Winters, Crosier, Smith, Fox nnd Hoffman gave Atlanta four runs
altogether.
The crowd was large nnd orderly, no unpleasant incidents cropping out. It was
said to be the most enthusiastic of the year.
When Jordan came to the bat the first time somebody throw a rubber ball out
to him. Otto bowed nnd pocketed the ball. When the first new ball wns thrown to
the umpire Harley bounded It. The crowd hissed like a calliope.
Cnnipnu umpired a fair game, despite tho fnct that he once managed the New
Orleans team nnd Is supposed to lean toward the town.
Hoffmnn played the game with his linger in very bad condition. Archer hurt his
finger quite lmdly. The digit was smashed on the end by a foul, and the game was
few minutes. When ho started catching again, the crowd applauded
lust
Mntarkey can pitch every day.-Montgom-
ery Journal.
Mr. Shuster called out several men on
the thin! strike. This killed our chances.
Well, as was mentioned before, the fans
nre waiting for Mr. Shuster, lie will re-
celr« mo orotloa.
If the Pelicans take two out of these
three gamea they will plant Atlanta back
In fourth place, and maybe tho Birds of
Louisian* are not going to make a terrific
fight for these two, nnd then one more.—
New Orleans Picayune.
James Laird, a 6 foot 2 right-hander, who
lin< l»een doing well tor Baton Rouge’s
Otton Packers, has been purchased by Man-
nger nabb, and will report Sunday.—Mem
phis Commercial-Appeal.
Beeker was wild yesterday, which ac
counts tor the severe drubbing he re-
c. Ived. He was simply out of form ns.all
other pitchers are at times. "Kitty" has
lost only two out of the fourteen games
ha has pitched here this season, nnd the
fans will certainly readily excuse him for
Ms Ineffectiveness ye iterday.—Shreveport
Time*.
Great, Indeed, Is Nap Rucker; mighty
Is Holmea; magnificent In Ross Helm, but
greatest of all Is th** Insect. “Rugs* "
work on yesterday afternoon has never been
surpassed on a local diamond- He Is the
I.lebhardt of the Sallle League.—Savannah
Press.
The real excitement will begin Prldayj
when the Atlantans come for three gnmes.
The local fans are keyed up to this so
rte«. expecting that an unnsual amount of
trouble will result from the return of the
Quitters to the local grounds after having
Htlrred up such unwarranted antagonism
to New Orleans In the East. It Is hardly
likely that a demonstration will be made
against the Quitters, unless they bring It
themselves, but the fans have little
Jove* for a few of the Atlanta men like
Billy Smith and Otto Jordan.—New Orleans

The world’a record for long distance fouls
was followed yesteday by the discovery
of the ball hit by Meeks Monday. It was
located on Freeman avenue, several blocks

Nashville has no league games today and

With the Atlnntn club Is a war

the doings of Billy Smith's dub this trip.
Percy Is a little fellow, but tlint w
let him out, for he comes from Atlnntn,
nnd the Mg boys mj the New Orleans press

to kill him with kindness nnd show hint

New York, Sept. 1.—There will be no
exception today for a record crowd at
Sheepshead Bay track, for with the
early hours of the morning thousands
of enthusiasts commenced to wind
their way out over Long island with
Sheepshead track, the scene of the Fu
turity, a common destination. Later
bn the movement grew Into an exodus,
every "L" train, surface car and Long
Island race special from Long Island
City groaning under the weight of its
human freight.
No fewer than 40,000 persons will
acclaim the winner, while at least
31,000,000 in currency Is bound to
change hands between the public and
the bookmakers. With fair weather
prevailing right up to post call, a fast
track Is assured. All through last night
Superintendent Frank Clark had a
score of mule teams dragging fine-
toothed Australian harrows over the
course until the rollers which followed
the harrows had rendered the foot-
ting Just about as nearly peffect as it
is possible to have a race course.
Sheepshead Bay, the home of the
Coney Island Jockey Club, Is awaiting
the oncoming of the hordes all splc and
span. In the early days of September
these old-time racing grounds are a
delight .to the eye.
have the best chance of taking down
the laurels. Bookmakers, In making
up probable prices, figured the Keene
entry a 12 to 6 first choice.
Next In favor Is the entry of the
Rainey Brothers, of Cleveland. The
Raineys paid $45,000 for DeMund vand
$25,000 for Horace E. Neither has
come up to expectations, but they have
shown an improvement In form, which
makes them formidable factors In the
race. After the Keene and Rainey
entries, the professional price makers
and the public incline to Convllle, a
big handsome son of Dieudonne, owned
by Thomas Hitchcock and John E.
Madden. This colt worked three-quar
ters of a mile In deep sand at the horse
haven course, In Saratoga, In 1:17. If
he .shows this speed In the Futurity he
will be the colt to beat. Either Walter
Mill© or Sewell will ride him, and his
opening price should be about 6 to 1.
Early today “Diamond Jim" Brady
was reported a buyer of Convllle. How
ever, the deal has not yet gone through.
Madden wants $25,000 and Brady Is un
derstood to be haggling at $20,000.
These are the speculative features in
the Futurity.
Another candidate is the Newcastle
stable’s Oran, jvlnner of the $20,000

"With an 18-hole course, though, which
Is way over 6,000 yards long, they ought to
be able to accommodate the whole crowd
nicely, nnd we are counting already on a
flne time up there.
Judging from the Audobon Club course
here, where the championship was held
this spring, the golfers In the South are
due n pleasant surprise when they hit the
new Atlnnt'a links. The course here Is nt
its worst at present, but at its best It Is
doubtfuD If it will compare with the outfit
nt East Lake.
President Rmltb of the Southern Golf
Association has made sn attempt to get
together a team In the'South to go to St.
I«ouls to compete for the team champion
ship of America. None of the New Orleans
players were able to get away to make the
trip.
