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. Kenner Landed by Frank To Take Sabrie’s Place New Orleans, Aug. 10.—Bill Kenner, Mobile's first baseman, Is playing first for the Pelicans. He will play here until the return of Sabrle, whose mys terious absence pussies local fans. It Is rumored that Habile has been sold to Louisville for $>,500. The club de- nies tbls. Kenner would doubtless make good In case Sabrle Is sold. The local team Is utterly demoralised by reason of recent defeats, and Is los. big dally through Inability to hit or Huff and McIntosh Leading Contestants in Macon Shoot Macon, Oa., Aug. 10.—Shooting In the contests at the Log Cabin Club was much better yesterday. Cooler weather and a good breese made the stands at the traps more enjoyable and brought a large crowd of spectators out. The local men started off well. E. Jones getting SI out of a possible 100.

Chandler Egan and Jones Play in Wheaton ■ Finals Chicago, Aug. 10.—Chandler Egan, of Exmoor, and H. F. Jones, of Wheaton, play today In the finals over thirty-six holes for the Western title on the links of the Chicago Golf Club In the West ern Golf Association's championship tournament. The former defeated Wil lie Howland, of Hkokle, four up and two to play, and the latter downing Western Champion Ed Hawyer, of Wheaton, one up. In the semi-finals yesterday. The victory of Jones was the big surprise of the day, few giv ing him any chance against the former champion. Egan’s mark of 71, made Thursday, was tied twice yesterday, once by Egan himself, when he defeated How- 1 land, and the other by Yale Champion Willie Howland, when he put Law rence Eustls, of Audubon, New Or leans. out of the running In the third round. Dallas Defeats Lost Mountain. Dallas, Ga„ Aug. 10.—Dallas defeat ed the Lost Mountain baseball team Thursday In one of the best and clos est games of the season, by the score of 4 to 3. The features of the game were the home run of Htrlngfellow and the work of Barlett at second for the locals. Both pitchers worked nicely. Batteries: l.ost Mountain, Kuy kendall and McCutcbens; Dallas, Cooper and Lawrence. 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. —King Cole, In Nashville Times. picture shows the field settling into placo in tho Sunshine stakes, run a short time ago .at Brighton. "He Knows” is the second horse from tne lett. 11his nag, with Garner up, is shown hustling to the front. “He Knows” easily stayed with the leaders and came away in the stretch to win by three lengths.

Time, Hackett and Pfentn- 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. Zeller Shows Good Form In Second But Can’t Quite Win. Score, Second Game.

The Georgian’s Commercial League teams will battle this afternoon In the concluding games of the season. These game promise to be the best and clos est of the season. Sun Proofs, the present league lead ers. and Beck A Gregg will play a game and this contest should be the best of the year. These two teams have the pennant between them, and each will fight its best to win. Beck * Gregg will play two games today. The first game will bo called at 2:15 and the second game will be plnveil when the first Is finished. The first gnme will be between Beck & Gregg and the Western Electric Com pany team. , 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. Leroy Defeats Raymond Little • Boston, Aug. 10.—Robert Leroy, of New York, defeated R. D. Little, of New York, before a large gallery. of enthusiasts yesterday afternoon. ThlB luts again changed thcrcomplexlon of the finals for the Longwood cup. Lit tle had already played a five-set match, defeating F. C. Colston, of Baltimore, In the morning. There were very few keen rallies. Both players usually smashed the ball for a place or a kill and the four sets were run off very quickly. RIVERDALE WINS AGAIN. Special to The tleoretan. Rlverdale, Ga., Aug. 10.—’The River- dale baseball team defeated the fast team from Conley yesterday by the score of 2 to 4. It was a pitchers’ bat tle from atari to finish and up to the ninth Inning looked as If It would be a shut-out for the visitors. The score was 1 to 0 up to the ninth. The vis itors were the.cleanest ball players and furnished tile best game ever played on the Rlverdale diamond. Up to chlsi time the Rlverdale team has not lost a game this season.
