UMPIRE ED, O'CONNELL Writr-s a Letter Telling Why the Game of Ball Was Called in Sixth Inning The students at Mercer University had "Dplied to the attack made on them by their ball team by the Red and Black, the lolli g* paper at the A .He University. Tnc reply i not made in the public prints, but tin- students at Mercer have gotten out a special edition of th< colege paper, anil it appeared yt sterlday. Tlie reply of the Mercer boyS is as foil loti's: ONR REDLY. W* Kill Them With Eacts. We, the undersign, d, have been appoint ed committee from the stident body in '.Mercer University to reply to the slanderous articles about our baseball club and college, contained in tin- A in ns "Red ami Black,” of April 30th. AVe notice these articles not because we think it ni’c.'ssiry to defend ourselves be fore anyone who knows us or who saw the game under discusßion, but simply and sole ly that persons at a distance may under stand our position and that we may there by lie sot right before the public. AVe shall endeavor to restrain our indignation ami merely present the cold, hard, undeni abh facts ti;at-they may be passed upon by a fair and discriminating public. AVe will not be drawn into a discussion, but l imply present facts which are undeniable and linai. AVe may say further that we do not believe that the articles voice the sentiments of the student Isody of the State University. AVe believe that, they will be approved only by a small clique who foil sore over their defeat, and that the majority of the Georgia students will not approve of these gross misstatements about a sister college. Taking the articles up in order, we wish first to refer .to the alleged inhospitable conduct charged upon us. To the hun dreds of people who saw' the game, it is not necessary to say that every “kick” that was made against the umpire, every dirty trick that was resorted to. and every unfair method that was employed emana ted from the Georgia team; and that dur ing all of this our men played on good naturedly. strong, up-hill ball, realizing that gentlemanly conduct and fair meth ods always pay best in the end. That the Georgia team played dirty ball is evidenced by the fact, to which we have already called atention, that every objection to a decision came from them, and from the fact that when one of our men knocked the ball over left field fence the runner was touched near second base by another ball, which had been obtained in some unknown manner, in the hands of an Athens player. The runner was then called out by the umpire and the Athens team went to their bench. Tire first ball was then thrown back into the ball park from the outside, and the umpire, seeing the trick, required the Georgia players to return to the field and complete their inning by putting out another man. This is only one instance of the unfair and tricky methods of the Georgia team, and it was commenred on by everyone after the game. Nor, we charge, was the -Mercer-Athens game the only occasion where they have resorted to these dirty methods. In the Pennslyva nia-iAthens game in Atlanta last month, which some of our boys saw, the Georgia t< am caused every unpleasant feature whi‘h marred that, occasion. So manifest was this to the audience at that game, that they actually hissed a Georgia player for his unfair methods. A Georgia - boy on Georgia soil, playing against a Northern team, hissed by a Georgia crowd because they realized that his tactics were unfair and his playing dirty. As another proof that most of the charges made against us- while they are untrue as applied to us are actually applicable to the Georgia team, is found in their ungentlemanly conduct toward Wake Forest last year in Athens. After they had been defeated by that, team they actually wanted to fight their visitors, as was testified to us by the AA ike Forest team on their recent visit here. The same thing is illustrated by their treatment of the Sawanee team on the Athens grounds April 23d last. So dis courteous and gross was this conduct that the Sewanee men wrote us after that game telling us of the weak points in the Gisirgia team, through a hope of seeing tin ni given the drubbing at the hands of gentlemen which their calibre and meth ods merited, and which they got. That this charge, as to the Sewanee game, is true is fully substantiated by an editorial in the very same issue of the "Red and Black” containing the article about our team. The editorial is as follows: "B AD M ANNERS." "The Red and Black was greatly sur prised at the action of certain members cf the Georgia team in the recent game with Sewanee. Such unkind, hasty and dis courteous remarks as were made on sev eral occasions, are deeply to be deplored and cannot possibly redound to the inter est of the University. Guying is all right, but it can be carried too far. We should lememaer that there is such a thing as in sultin', a man nnd when we resort to such tactics we degrade ourselves and lower the standard of our college.” How is .that, we ask. coming from the editor of their own organ about the un gentlemanly conduct of their own team on their home grounds? And these are the gentlemen who are engaged in the mis sionary work of ’civilizing” other col leges. and who read us lectures on "hospi tality,” “courtesy." etc! We submit these facts to the public and ask that they con sider how the charges of Athens against us comport with estimates from other an 1 impartial sources. AVe submit the fol lowing unsolicited words of praise receiv ed during the past mouth: "The Orange and Blue,” the Auburn, (Ala..) college pa per. in writing about the Mercer- Auburn game, in which we defeated them, says among other things: "Manager AA’hitney stayed with us from the finish of the game until morning, and we do not remember ever having met a better fellow. The whole .Auburn team, and especially the manager, owes him an everlasting debt of gratitude for his continued courtesies. No man could possibly have treated us more royally or borne himself in a more generous, gentlemanly manner. And Whit ney is not the only one who by his courte sy and generosity won friends in Auburn, but they are too numerous to mention. * * * The Mercer Boys knew how to make us enjoy ourselves and made us feel : like we had beaten the game and they were the losers. » • » The team left Macon on Sunday morning thoroughly in love with the city and its people, and with a de termination to see both people and city again as soon as possible.” This article also contains a conamenda thffi of Mr. O'Connell as a fair umpire. A letter to Mr. Whitney from the mana ger of the Auburn team received two days after our game with them, is along the same line. AA’e also wish to call attention to testi monial from Macon's leading citizens at the end of this article. In addition to this we could add a glow ing letter from the president of Wake Forest written to one of our professors soon after the return of their team home. after we defeated them in this city. He writes in highest terms of praise, and says that their team express themselves as be ing charmed with the reception and treat ment at the hands of our men, closing the letter with these words: "Our men speak with enthusiasm of their kind reception and treatment by the Mercer men. These relations of comity are unspeakably pleas ing to me. • ‘ Yours truly, Charles E. Taylor. "Pre-s. Wake Forest." As to the claim of Athens that they were swindled out of the game, etc., we only wish to submit the following letter from .Mr. O’Connell, the umpire. It shows that Captain Tichenor. of the Georgia team, himself suggested that the game be ealled at the end of the fifth inning, giv ing as his reason that it was getting too dark to play. Umpire O'Connell agreed to call the game at the end of the next inning. At the time the game was called, as the Macon Telegraph of the next day stated in these words: “It was so dark that the people in the grand stand could scarcely see the hall, and it was impossi ble to play longer.” That this is true is shown by the fact that the game did not begin until fifteen minutes after four o'clock, an 1 that, with the time consum ed by “kicking” on the part of the Geor gia team, it took nearly two hour.-: to fin ish up to the sixth inning. But let Mr. O'Connell’.- letter speak for itself. He is one of Macon’s most popular citizens, hold ing a highly responsible position with the Southern Express Company, and is famous throughout the country for his fairness and ability as an umpire. Mr. ©'Connell's statemen is as follows: “I have just been handed a copy of the “Red and Black,” of Athens, containing the abusive articles about me and the Mercer team. I do not care to make any reply to their petty attacks, preferring to treat them with silent contempt. I will only say. as to the question of calling the game on account of darkness, that Captain Tichenor, of the Athens team, sugested in the fifth inning, when Athens was still safely ahead, that it was getting too dark to play. I then deei-deld to call the game at the end of the next inning—pot know ing that Mercer would pile up her four runs in that inning—as I realized that it would be too dark to play longer. "I do not care to discuss the fairness of my decisions at second base, calling a "ball a strike,” etc., which they condemn. I will leave this matter to the judgment of the large audience which saw Jhe game. I will only add that I have been umpiring ball for fifteen years, and feel that the Mercer-Athens game was as fairly won as any I ever saw. There was a plain dis position on the part of the Athens team to delay the game and these tactics ended to their own sorrow. They began tihe game with a kick and kept up the kicking to the last. I was more lenient towards them than they deserved, as their conduct at several places deserved that they forfeit the game to their opponents. (Signed.) E. P. O'Connell.” Further than this, it is not necessary to discuss the merits of the game. The fact of title matter is that ithe Georgia team went into the game expecting to be de feated, giving as an excuse that several of their men were crippled and out of the game, etc. Remarks to this effect were heard from them before the game. Ait the very beginning of the game, when the umpire called “Play ball” at 4 o’clock, the Athens team insisted on going on the ground's ‘and practicing more, declaring* tihait they had not 'had sufficient time to practice. They thus consumed ten min utss of time. AA’hen this was over, one of their men fell down after a little collision with another man, stretched out on 'the ground and had himself rubbed, thereby consuming another five minutes. This policy of killing time was perfectly mani fest to the audience, the crowd shouting constantly to the pitcher to “Play ball." It turned ou't later, 'as Mr. O’Connell states, that this trick resulted in a man ner that they had not at all expected or calculated upon. The official score, published in the Ma con Telegraph, shows that we played bet ter ball than 'Georgia, made more runs, and sawer errors. (The official score shoiws that we made two errors against Georgia's four, instead of four against four as the “Red and ißiack” states,) and played clean ball t while we were doing it. AVe played an uphill game from the start, overcame the biig lead which our opponents got on u.s in the first inning, by 'hard work and fair ball, and finally won out over them on solid merit. We join the “Red and Black” in • regretting that we could not play further, for with the way our players were hitting their pitcher in the sixth inning—making four runsif ithe game had continued to Che ninth inning, <we would have given them a defeat such as they have not suffered in years. As to their statement 'that some of our supporters “left the game disgusted,” “taking off their colors,” etc., etc., we wish to quote in rebuttal a paragraph from the account of the game in the ’Ma con Telegraph of the next day, .ami would also refer amyone to account of game in the Atlanta Constitution of the 27th. In describing the unlMMtnded enthusiasm with which our victory was greeted by .the crowd, the Telegraph states: “When 'the winning run crossed the plate the bleach ers yelled, sang, danced, rolled on the grass, looking like five hundred jumping jaoks. It was a sight never to Ibe forgot ten by those who saw it. When it was all over the crowd kept yelling and cheering until, nearly everybody was hoarse.” Out of charitable motives, iwe refrain, from diiscutssing the care-worn and sickly’ little joke of the “Red and Black” about the “young athletic weakling, which is be ing cut down In its growth and destined soon to die an ignorable death because of the cankerous sores of financial and ath letic dishonesty' that seem to break out. on it, etc., etc." AVe are glad that the editor got that terrific phrase out of his system, as we are confident that it would have killed him had he not done so. Our team, the "athletic weakling” he refers to. have won every game they’ have played during - the last four years with one exception, when Athens beat us (fairly), and have won every game this year, defeating Wake Forest, (he former champions, and on top of that whipping the University of Geor gia. at Macon. Georgia, April 26th. That looks as though the “young athletic weakling” is up and able to be about. Nor do we care to notice the “financial” ques tion he mentions. Suffice it to say .that while the same “Red and Black” which contains the article under discussion, is pleading, in notice under head of "The Graves Lecture.” that everyone go out to the atbiletic benefit and help them out of theii» "financial distress,” our association has bought new uniforms, bats, mits, masks, and general outfit, and now has an able-bodied sum snugly laid up in bank to meet a rainy day or celebrate another victory over the Georgia team. We might consent to make them a loan to help them out of their “financial distress” provided they could furnish acceptable collateral. Our athletic treasury is flourishing like the green bay-tree because we play clean, up right ball and because the Macon public realize this and give us a hearty support. We winder why the Athens athletic asso ciation is suffering from "financial dis tress?” It is not necessary to discuss the "Red and Black's” statement that we “stole fifty dollars of their grand stand receipts” iast year. It is too contemptible for us to notice. We simply brand it as a most in famous lie. We make this statement ad visedly. and submit it to the public feeling that they’ will endorse it on account of their reasonable belief .that ihe two hun dred and fifty young fellows composing the Mercer student-body—and who are familiar with and responsible for the ac tion of the athletic managers—are not rogues. Mr. Whitney, who was assistant manager for last year’s club and who is manager for this year, is familiar with the transaction that their assertion is based on. and he makes the following signed statement: "The division of the receipts last year was fair and according to con tract. The contract for last year which I have, called for a certain per cent, of the gross gate receipts, which does not in clude grand stand receipts; while our con tract this year calls for a certain per cent, of the gross receipts, this arrangement ’being made on acount of the dissatisfac tion arising out of last year’s arrange ment. (Signed) G. W. Whitney.” MACON NEWS THURSDAY EVENING, MAY 5 1898. In closing, we may say that the whole trouble is that the State University team is suffering from an acute and aggravated attack of the “sore head.” They are the only team With whom we have any trouble, and it seems that every team that meets them have the same experience as our own; for instance, Sewanee, Pennsyl vania, Wake Forest, etc. They resrtrt to any underhanded metho*! to win a game, •- ‘ “ Ahe general demeanor of some of their men on the diamond is such as would <<o credit to the toughest of the tough pro fessional ball players. Our boys play ck tn. manly, upright ball and on that account the Georgia team cannot get on with them. It is a noticeable fact, too, that they never raise a howl until they are defeated. As the article in the "Red and Black shows, we defeated them in 18f:5 and they returned Jtome crying "fraud." and jwsed resolutions to the effect that they '-'oulel never play us again.” etc. In 1597 they defeated us. We accepted the def. at gracefully and coo<l naturedly, and Georgia, returned home pre-eminently satisfied. We now de fee,t them in 1898 and they again go ba*'k to Athens mad as in '95, using ithe worn-out baby hoo-hoo, the iimpiredid it.” We have an unutterable contempt for an individual or a ball t.-am who hasn’t the grit and manhood to ac knowleelge an honest defeat. It must be apparent to every fair minded person that they are simply seeking an excuse to ac count for their defeat at the hands of their rivals. Nor dad this excuse take form un til their return home. The 'Macon Tele graph of .May Ist. in replying to the un just attack on Mercer in the “Red and Black.” says: “The excuse that some of them (the Georgia pdayers) gave to a Telegraph reporter after the game was, that the team was crippled, one man be ing out altogether and two men playing in new places.” This was the excuse they offered while here, but returning home they coubl not manfully face their defeat, and resort to this dirty and underhand method to discount our victory. Their spirit is like that of the mangy little flee meeting the big dog in the road, being unmercifully whipped by him. and then running—yelping and with tail tucked— under its own house, sticking its cowardly litble head through a crack that it knows is too small for the big dog to enter, and then harking mightily, as though to say, with little Jack Horner: "Lo, what a great dog am I !’ We join the “Red and Black” in de claring that there shall be r.o more games between Mercer and the State University. AA e wiiil never play them again until they have apologized for their niggardly attack upon our good name. We have defeated them now in two games of the three play ed, and are content to rest It here. AVe denounce the statements contained in their articles as underhand, untrue, un ju~t, and ungentlemanly—and submit that it. was a wa.nton and uncalled for at tack whose only effect, would be to stir up strife among Georgia’s institutions of learning where peace and harmony should prevail. These are the facts, the public is the lury, and we stand fearless before that just tribunal. Read before, considered, and approved by, the student-body of Mercer University May 3rd. 1898.
