THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. SATURDAY, AUGUST 10, 1007,
CRACKERS OPEN MONDAY WITH BIG DOUBLE BILL
SPORTING PAGE EDITED BY
PERCY H. WHITING
NOT NEWS, BUT VIEWS
The St. Louis Republic recently carried an entertaining lit
tle piece, recently copied in a local paper, stating that baseball
writers were the most morbid lot in the world, who spent all their
time urging the team to "win, win, win,” and ascribing as the
primary cause the fact that 90 per cent of baseball writers are
graduated office boys.
This may hold true in St. Louis, but it certainly does not in
the South.
The writer is reasonably certain that none of the local base
ball writers started as office boys. Personally he can prove an
alibi.
In Nashville one of the baseball writers had a Vanderbilt de
gree before he ever worked for a newspaper, another is the son of
the managing editor of the paper and the third is the son of the
chief editorial writer. In Memphis both of the sporting writers
are men of extremely good education and family and never did
the office-boy act.
The Birmingham trio can likewise plead not-guilty to the of
fice boy count. The sporting editor of one Montgomery paper iB
the son of the managing editor and the other is an ex-fireman.
About the beginnings of the Shreveport, Little Rock and New
Orleans scribes the writer knows little.
But as a general proposition the St. Louis man’s dope is all
askew as far as Southern League papers are concerned.
SNAPPY SCENE IN THE SUNSHINE STAKES
Also, as a rule, baseball writers are the most blase and the
least fan-like of individuals.
Now anil then they will leave the ball park with only a hazy
impression of which team won and not until they run back over
the score they kept in a small red book, with the aid of cabalis
tic signs, do they get any very vivid impression of how it all
happened.
And as for caring which team won—well, that’s against hu
man nature.
The juvenile sport writer cares a lot. It is all new to him
and he has the enthusiasm. Pour or five years will gradually
grind it out. Sometimes it takes more. But in the long run it
goes.
A baseball writer looks at a game just as a dramatic critic
looks at a new play. lie has seen about the snme thing about a
thousand times before. Every baseball game is even more like
every other game than every play is like every other play.
Don’t blame the poor man if he is cynical and can’t uncork
the same enthusiasm that you can. He is paid to see baseball
games and he has seen too many.
What he deserves more than anything else is pity. And ho
gets mighty little.
Not that we think anybody cares a rap. But it was just on
our mind. ,
As a rule the baseball writer of experience does not try to
rnn the team. He is too engrossed with other matters. And
then it does not make any especial difference to him, anyhow.
He has found out to his sorrow that the job is beyond seven
baseball managers out of eight and thnt the eighth one this year
is N. Q. next. And ha leaves the worrying to the manager and
the fans.
The baseball writer, like the fan, is a queer lot. But don’t
hold it against him.

ABOU’ PETE LISTER
Abou’ Pete Lister—(Bay, this rhyme’s a cinch)—
Arrived with his bat, In the ninth. In a pinch.
Beheld on the bases a couple of men.
And a run or two needed to win out, and then—.
Aw, hand hlin the lucre, you know what occurred:
A biff and a whlx! A landscape all blurred!
The welkin plumb shattered! The rooters gone daft;
And Peter ("Bah for Pete!") looking big as Bill TaftI
Ah, surely. If ever In ball heav'n, a fan
Hhould list the spiked heroes since baseball began,
Whom love of the rooters had whooplngly blest,
Pete's name, like Ben Adhem's, would lead all the rest.

I About Friday's
Ga
mes
Sid Smith was hurt again Friday af
ternoon. This time a foul tip caught
him on the same spot where he was hit
about two weeks ago. ’ A hoodoo must
be following Sid because every time he
catches he Is hit about a thousand
times. Bmlth's shins, shoulders and
hands were black and blue from being
hit With foul balls. Sweeney relieved
Smith Friday and caught a good game.
Paskert made a beauty stnb of a
ball off Hardy's bat In the sixth Inning
of the secoml game Friday, the De
mon" knocked a high one to left thnt
looked good for three bags but the
$3,250 beauty after a hard run cap
tured It In his left paw and Mr. Hardy
went strutting back to the bench.
^Hof the second
game Mr. Elmer Duggan struck out
the three Atlanta men who faced him.
They were Fox. Jordnn and Castro and
every one of them fell down to Elmer’s
flinging.
Lister plnyed good ball for the Dob
bers In both games Friday afternoon.
Pete slapped out four hits In the after
noon of work and he also scored two
runs. Lister made 10 put-outs and no
errors.
McElveen of the Dobbers made two
errors In the first three Innings Fri
day. McElveen Is capable of playing
better ball but a shift from third base
to shortstop played havoc with him.
McElveen Is a good thlnl baseman and
with a little more practice will make a
good short atop.
The Crackers played an errorless
gnme In the first contest but made two
bobbles In the second game. The
Firecrackers have been playing good
ball on this little' road trip and error
less games have been a regular thing
for them.
The Shreveport Pirates defeated Joe
Bills and the Babblers of Memphis Fri
day afternoon by the score of 6 to 4.
Bills was batted hard by Shreveport,
but dumb work on the bases kept the
Pirates’ score down. Beeker pitched
nice ball for Shreveport.
Montgomery defeated “Little Eva"
Wilhelm of Birmingham Friday after
noon by the score of 4 to 1. Wilhelm
was batted hard by the Climbers, while
Maxwell pitched good ball.
The Little Rock Travelers defeated
the New Orleans Pelicans yesterday
afternoon in a pretty game by the
score of 4 to 3. This Is the second
game In as many days that Little Rock
has won from the Pelicans on lbs New
Orleans grounds.
Nashville, Tenn., Aug. 10.—One for
Atlanta and one for Nashville was the
division of the double header at Ath
letic Park yesterday afternoon.
After four hours and twenty minutes
of most vigorous and. entertaining
baseball the Crackers and Dobbers left
the field of battle with no material ad
vantage for either side.
The first game was won by Atlanta
by a score of 4 to 2.
The second was copped by the Nash
ville representatives by a score of 4
to 1.
Only seven and a half Innings were
played In the second game when the
shades of night put the players on
the run for their hotels.
It was hard to tell whether the
punk fielding of Nashville or the good
pitching' of Ford was responsible for
the Cracker!victory. Each was so re
markable In Its way that there was
little to choose. The home team let
off a flight of mlscues that was
enough to lose any game but for all
that there Is not much question but
that the Crackers would have won,
even In the face of errorless support
for "Grouchy" Sorrell.
Russell Ford’s now Justly famous
spltter was cutting all kinds of queer
capers and none of the Dobber bat
ters felt safe In their ability to land
on It.
Five safe singles and a trio of two-
baggers were made by the Nashville
bat performers, but they did not come
with much timeliness. Only In the
ninth were the Dobbers good enough to
score. And In this inning two runs
came across.
These two were only a drop In‘the
bucket, however, for Atlanta had been
pounding Sorrell steadily and had tak
en advantage, of Dobber bobbles.
The result was an easy victory for
Atlanta, as hereinbefore mentioned.
The tnbles were turned In the second
game. Elmer Duggan proved the pus-
xle, when hits were needed, while the
Dobbers fell on Zeller with just suffi
cient violence to bat out a victory.
lie. tl
billed for the second and hq was al
lowed to stay In the game until the
second Inning. Then he offended Um
pire Hackett’s dignity by offering a
prayer for deliverance from all um
pires, kneeling reverently the while In
the pitcher’s box. For the which he
was shooed to the shade of the shelter.
Ing bench and Rube Zeller was called
In to perform. Rube pitched a credit
able game, but his team mates could
not hammer out enough runs for a
victory.
McKenxle was put opt of the game in
the third Inning of the second afTalr for
talking back to Mr. Hackett, the um
pire. McKensle, It seems, threw a
pretty strike over the Iplate and Hack
ett called it a ball. The human cork
screw then did something his "umps"
didn’t like and Scotty accordingly was
sent from the field of battle.
Rube Zeller, who relieved Scotty,
pitched nice ball, but those Dobbers
were In a fighting mood and the Crack
ers could not hit Duggan to uny extent.
McEleveen failed to make an error in
the second game. "Humpty" made two
put outs, one assist amino errors.
BUI Dyer played good ball in both
of those games Friday afternoon. Dy
er accepted seven chances without an
error. BUI failed to make a hit In the
first game, but he made two In the
second.
Becker made a pretty run up the
dump after a ball .Lister knocked. He
got It, too. In catching the ball Beeker
fell on his back, but he held the sphere.
For this exhibition he received a round
of aqplause.
Becker did an unusual thing Friday
afternoon. He fanned the first time
up In both games. Becker hardly ever
strikes out, but yesterday the pitchers
were too much for him.

There has been some criticism
Manager Mike Winn, of the Kutx team,
because he released Ahles and Rich
ardson, who were afterwards signed
by the Beck & Gregg team.
Here Is Manager Winn’s statement
In regard to the matter:
It has been Insinuated that I with
drew In favor of the Beck & Gregg
team, by letting Richardson quit and
releasing Ahles. I beg to correct (he
above.
Some six weeks ago, Richardson told
me he would have to stop playing ball,
giving as his reason that his physi
cian had advised It. Ahles said when
he asked for his release that he was
going to give up the national game.
I would like to see the best team win.
As to Beck A Gregg, or the Sun Proof.
It doesn’t matter with me for It won’t
change the standing of my team one
bit. I think, however, that the Beck
& Gregg team has violated rules Nos.
11 and 14, governing The Georgian
Commercial League.
Trusting I have said nothing In the
above to hprt the feelings of any of
the boys, 1 remain yours truly,
MIKE WINN,
Manager the Kuts Team.
Tigers Paid $700
For Tyrus Cobb
One of . the best ball players In the
country cost only $700. The player Is
no other than Tyrus Cobb. BUI Armour
cinlms credit for discovering Cobb, and
this Is how It came about, according to
The Toledo News-Bee, which got the
story from the owner of the Toledo
team:
The Detroit club trained In Augusta
In the spring of 1006,.and Bill Armour
saw Oobb work with the South Atlantic
team. The Toledo magnate kept the
youngster In mind, and when Detroit
suffered from, accidents he at once
thought of Cobb. BUI asked the price
on Cobb, and was told $1,000. Secre
tary Navln, of the Detroit club, didn’t
want Cobb arid kicked about buying
him. Bill, however, thought he would
make a great player, and on his own
hook offered $500. This offer was
finally accepted, and then Armour
wired them that he would give $200
more if Cobb were allowed to join the
Tigers at once. This was also -agreed
to, and "Ty" was sent on. He won the
first game with bts stick and has' been
getting better every day since.

WAS THE BET OFF7
To the Sporting Editor:
Will you kindly answer the followinf
question:
"I bet that Atlanta would take tin
next three out of four games. Start
ing with yesterday’s game. In other
words I mean If Birmingham loat It
was In my favor. I called up a certais
cigar atand, and they said It rained la
Birmingham. It did not rain, but I
thought that the game was called ott
and so went to the fellow I waa bet
ting with, and said "well It rained to
day In Birmingham, and I guess that
the bet la off." But-Instead of It rain
ing. they played and Atlanta won. no*
If Atlanta wins the next two out or
three games from Nashville, will I win
or will I lose.
Yours.
A GEORGIAN READER-
Your bet la a trifle uncertain. How
ever. If you went to the man you ki
with and he agreed with you that tne
bet was off It was undoubtedly «-
It .would be pretty hard to go behind
the agreement of both partlea to a
bet.
