New Recruit Does Well
And Crackers Get Bumped
MEMPHI8 7. ATLANTA 1.
Mcmphla tried out her new man, talrd.
In Wednesday morning'* gnino, and he
proved a moat effective pitcher. The Cot
ton Staton youngster twirled nice hall and
had fine support. In consequence, ho al
lowed only one run off his delivery. He
was hit »qulte often, hut all attempts to
hunch them faffed, except fn the fifth,
when two blta and a stolon base netted
one ruu.
In the meantime, the Dabblers were
working havoc with Baxter Sparks* curves,
and they earned a victory with their sticks.
Ilald) made four hits out of four times
at bat. and Nadeau made three out of
five. The Memphis hunch played error
less I Mill, and were there with the pep
per and other condiments.
The crowd waa easily the sinnllest of
the year—as might have been expected
on a week-day mornlng—and the league
clubs will not get a large amount out of
their eighth of the receipts. Probably
100 people saw the game.
The contest was without special features,
i Sparks as the “starter" and Fox as the
•‘finisher," operated In a couple of double
plays. Jordan was the middle man In the
first and Morse In the second.

A Few Stray Shots From
Tuesday 9 s Pitching Duel
The Dabblers may be In second place at
the finish, but they were headed the wroug
way Tuesday.
Suggs la an unlucky dog. It takes a man
with an over-supply of misfortune to lose
a two-hit game. Dut that's easy for George.
He can lose them when they are hitless and
errorless—which Is pretty good for n minor
league pitcher.
Nlcholls plnyed nice ball Tuesday, and It
i seems likely that he will make any of them
' hustle to keep him out of it Job as suhstl-
* tute Inftelder of the Philadelphia Amerl-
I cans. If he can hit In fast company he Is
a big leaguer for keeps.
Otto Jordan was eating them up down
bis way Tuesday.
One of the hits mado off Suggs* delivery
was very much of a scratch. It went right
by Dabb, but the scoring department, after
' n consultation, decided that, to the best of
Its knowledge and tallef, the ball was not
touched by Charles, the swift, and hence
was a hit.
Thomas McCullough, secretary of the
Memphis club, was among those present In
the press box during the early stages of the
game. Just after the one run was scored
Tom excused himself on the ground that he
had to count the money. Must have been
a lot of money, for lie did not come back.
Mnyta the score hnd something to do
with It
You’ll have to pass It to the Dabblers on
one thing. They certainly have the best
fielding Infield In the Mouth. However, they
are only a bit better than "the Billy
Hmtths" at fielding and no better at but
ting.
The gamble for players already drafted
has begun, and Detroit won Archer from
Atlanta, while Ht. Louis hnd to give up her
claim on Jordan.
Above the spacious grandstand on t!
heights;
And naturally I did a little gloating,
Itccalllng all the season's bitter tights.
I saw the Cuba of Chnnce all dead and
burled ,
'Neath the avalanche of hits we made
each day:
I beheld the flag unfurled, labeled "Cham
pions of the World— 1 "
Then I pinched myself and tumbled from
the bay.
—William F. Kirk In New York American.
Atlanta fans always have dreama like thut
at the first of the year. Dut they always
wake yp.
However, we’re going to win that pen
nant next year, and that'll help some.
The unanimity of opinion In the Moutheru
League about Umpire Xhuster la little short
of marvelous. From Nashville to New Or
leans and from Atlanta to Little Hock he
Is regarded aa the worst In the business. He
will he lucky to last through the season.
The Pelicans meet Atlanta In the wind-up
of the season over In Atlanta, and thnt se
ries will no doubt l»e a hot battle.—New
Orleans Picayune.
It will be worse than a battle—It will be
a slaughter.
Manager Prank could not tell Just what
will happen In regard to the Dreltenatcln
draft, but If Ht. Louis cannot be Induced to
let go Dreltenatcln will, of course, have to
reiiort. lie has taken the matter up by

If MeCloskey could have seen Atlanta

Ill a letter to the sporting editor of The

pleased with the new tarth, aud believe
thnt I will give satisfaction. I look back
on my dnys In the Xmithern league with

HUGHES WINS HIS GAME
FROM “LUCKLESS” SUGGS
ATLANTA 1 MEMPHIS 0
Maybe Memphis has second place sewed up In a sack, hut the Babblers did
not show It Tuesday when they lost to the Crackers by a score of 1 to 0.
The Atlanta players hnd hnd a chance to rest up after their tiresome Jo^
ney of Hunday and Monday, and they plnyed the old time ball—the kind they
always play nt home.
Tom Hughes faced George Buggs. and ns usual "Hard Luck George" lost his
game by .a narrow margin. He pitched great tall and allowed only two bIU»
but his own error, coupled with Crosier's hit, cost him thfc game.
Hughes was 111 fine trim, and hnd the Bnbbltes traveling the shut-out routs
from start to finish. Three little singles were the best they could do. Never
has Hughes shown to tatter advantage, and he had the Memphians wouderlug it
ull stages.
The game was full of snappy fielding. Ttye line-up used by Atlanta Tuesday
seems to be effective, and It may be seen quite often.
The Memphis team played Its usual good game and the Babblers were fighting
hard when the last out was made In the ninth. They were Just up against better
fielding and better base running thnb they were used to.
The crowd looked rather small when the gnme started, hut the spectators
poured steadily In for n\ half hour after the game started, and It is likely
that Memphis pulled down something better than the guarantee.

A Little Unofficial Dope
On the Pitching of Rube
One of the thousands of "Rube" Zeller’s
admirers In Atlanta hns furnished some In
teresting dope on the "Rube’s" work for
Atlsnts this season.
According to this dope, which Is undoubt
edly accurate, Zeller has pitched:
Three two-hit games.
Three three-hit games.
Five four-bit games.
Fire five-hit games. |
Five six-bit comes.
Four seven-hit gnme*.
Two eight-lilt games.
Three uliie-hlt gsnics.
Two ton-hit games.
Two eleven-hit games.
During the thirty-two games In which
Rube has pitched the full nine Innings, he
has allowed 168 lilts, which hnve taen
converted Into seventy-three runs. Ily n
little simple division, It liecomen evident
thnt Ruta’s opponents have scored an aver
age of 2.3 runs a game, and made nn
average of 5.8 hits per gnme off his delivery
this season. To say that this Is good work
Is putting It mildly.
Durlug the season, Ilnta has lost two
gntnc* by a margin of one run, five by
a margin of two runs and one by a margin
of three.
