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 wire and hopes for good remit*, but will not know for severnl days.—New Urlesus Picayune. If MeCloskey could have seen Atlanta clouting the grand old man last Hunday It woUM have been a cinch to get Droit's re- lease.

It would be nice to get a rubber ball party for Charlie's taneflt—Jnat to mnke things seeiu hotne-llke, but alas! Charlie has the rubber ball market cornered. Birmingham gets the pennant this year for the first time In fourteen years. More than 7,000 |»craons saw the game In Hlrmlngham tabor Day. If the Atlanta team hnd landed at Pied mont park In time to play n morning and nn afternoon game these figures would nearly hare been reunit'd. Umpire William J. Buckley, the Houthern I,eague field Indicator, who received a per emptory dismissal at the hands of President Kavnnaugh some time back, has lauded a liertb In the Kaatern tangue. Ill a letter to the sporting editor of The Birmingham Age-Ileruld, Umpire Buckley nays: "I mall you herewith clippings showing thnt I have again got my feet upon the dia mond. I wish to thank tho various sport ing editors of the Mouth for the encourage ment that they gave me, and for the words spoken In my !>chalf In the hour of my rather unexpected dismissal. I am well pleased with the new tarth, aud believe thnt I will give satisfaction. I look back on my dnys In the Xmithern league with pleasure.

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.
