IB THE ATLANTA fiEOROTAX, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 1006 LiAilul IT WILL BE REAL LABOR DAY m SPORTS 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." Roasts y Toasts and Boasts Culled From Contemporaries 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.

A. MacDONALD. By Private Leased Wire. 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.
