THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. MONDAY, AUGUST 12,1907.
CRACKER CREW IS HOME FOR FLEETING VISIT
SPORTING PAGE EDITED BY
PERCY H. WHITING
NOT NEWS, BUT VIEWS
“What chance has Avlanta to win the pennant?”
If the fans of Atlanta have heard the question us often as
the writer they realize that it is a topic of the hour.
And the writer wants to settle it once for all—by admitting
that he has only a hazy idea.
But on the whole the chances look fairly good..
Far, very far, be it from any of us to predict that Atlanta
is going to win that pennant.
But there is no escape from the sneaking suspicion that At
lanta has a good* chance.
The nearness of Atlanta and Memphis in the standing of the
clubs today indicates rather clearly that there hns not been
much to choose between them this season in actual playing
strength. As Atlanta has recently overcome quite a lead it is
reasonable to suppose that the Crackers are going a bit stronger
just at present than the Bluff City crew.
As the writer has said a dozen times before, he can’t see who
issued Memphis any license to win with that team Babb has
gathered. It is a good team and is playing ball. But that it “has*
anything” on the Crackers is not admitted now and never was.
Given an even break in the luck, and one tenm can win just
about as many games as the other, all ordinary conditions being
equal.
On one point Atlanta does not, during the remainder of the
season, get quite an even break. The Crackers have nineteen
games on the road and thirteen at home. The Bluffers have
nineteen at home and only fifteen on the road.
There you can see a distinct advantage for C. Babb of about
five games. Of course the difference between being at home and
being on the road is not tho difference between winning and los
ing, but with the Memphis diamond an almost unplayable affair,
on account of its hump, there is a vast advantage to tho Babb
lers in being on the turtle back.
Then Memphis has a slight advantage in the teams she
plays. After this week ends the Memphis team plays tho full
outfit of Easterners at home and then does the same trick on the
road.
The Crackers, on tho other hand, play tho Westerners on
the road and then at home.
And a glanco at tho standings at any time this season hns
shown pretty clearly tho Eastern clubs as a whole arc softer
than the Westerners.
Therefore, the fact that the Memphis team plays Easterners
and the Atlanta team Westerners, gives Babb a slight bulge on
Smith.
In tho immediate future the Memphii havo fonr games in a
row with New Orleans. And just now the Pelicans arc in the na
ture of the prize packago of the league. The team is utterly de
moralized and has about as much chance as the St. Louis Na
tionals against the Cubs.
Probably that series means four straights for Bnbb. Onr
only chance to stave off that calamity is to “root” for a long
rainy spell over in Memphis.
Tho Crackers spend tho week playing Birmingham in At
lanta and Montgomery in Montgomery. And that’s no cinch.
So it figures down so that Memphis has a shade better
chance than Atlanta.
And here’s where onr old, old friend
LUCK breaks in again.
Given an even break in tho luck, and thero is nothing to it
but Atlanta. Given even a shade the worst of it, and the Crack
ers can pull out and win the rag. They are going to the front at
just the right time in the race and ought to stick there.
So, to our way of thinking, it is a matter of chanco.
Here’s trnsting that things break our way.
International Yacht Race
Sailed Monday On Baltic
Kiel, Aug. It.—The races between
the German yachts of the Bonder class
and the Chewlnk VIII, Marblehead and
Spokane I, American yachts, began to
day.
There Is a lack of confidence among
the American yachtmen. .The Ameri
can boats were built for American con.
dklons, while the German boats were
built for Baltic conditions and stand
a better show of speed. The sugges
tions for sailing rules drafted by Hen
ry Howard, of Boston, were accepted
by the Germans tn entirety.
Prince Henry yesterday sailed the
Spokane I for a couple of hours. Her
American crew was surprised at his
ability. . The prince got ns much out
of the boat as did those who knew
her.
After the races, the Americans will
be royally entertained. They will be
the guests'of the various yacht clubs
In different cities, will visit and dine
with the emperor and will witness the
army maneuvers. The emperor will
present the trophy, which Is a large
oval silver bowl, nearly throo feet In
length and two feet high.

next season, and Griffin looks like a
good one.

SOUTHERN CHAMPS IN ACTION. [CRACKERS WIN
FROM DOBBERS
Sid Smith Back in Shape
and Atlanta Will Give
Barons a Run.
s
With two games scheduled for Mon
day the Crackers are going to make
a game attempt to yank the lead away
from the Babblers.
When the Atlanta team took down
first money from Nashville Saturday
and Shreveport won from Memphis the
Crackers went out Into (he lead of the
Southern League race by the very nar
row margin of .002.
On Sunday Atlanta did not play and
Memphis did—and won. In conse
quence Memphis now leads again by
the same old .002.
If Atlanta wins both on Monday and
Memphis wins the Crackers get back
In the lead again—likewise by .002.
But It Atlanta wins both and Mem
phis loses the Crackers will be .010 to
the fronj.
Bill Smith and his team will make
a stout effort to win.
Sid Smith Is back In shane and will
catch the second game. Every other
man on the team reports himself fit
as a fiddle.
Grant Schopp has signed with Nath,
vllle and will Join the Dobbers at
once. '

In an uninteresting game, delayed
by the ‘•beefing’’ of the Beck &
Greitg players Saturday afternoon, the
Pittsburg Sun Proof team cleaned up
with B. & G. by the score of seven to
four. "Big" Harry Haron did the
‘Hoot Mon" act for the Palntere and
pitched ball that would make •'Rube'-’
Waddell forget he was a pitcher. "Bit"
Lockrldge caught a swell game for the
paint dobbers. "Lanky” Garwood, who
was on the tiring line tor the hardware
men, also twirled an extra good game,
losing on loose playing and hits at the
right time. Phrlsh did good work be
hind the pan for-B. A G.
It was In the second inning that the
B. A G. crowd took a balloon ascension
and came down with a flop. After
Lockrldge had fanned, Cunyus was safe
on the eecond baseman's error. He
swiped second and was landed on
third by a passed ball. Daley was
soaked In the back by a "Garwood”
bender, and on a single through pitch
er by Keen, Cunyus counted, Daley
going to third. When Carl Wall let
loose a pretty sacrifice down first tyise
line'. Daley counted, the Plttsburgers
working the squeeze play to perfection.
In the third Inning three more scores
were added to the list by a couple of
mlsplays and two singles by Rice and
Nowell. In the fourth Harmon count
ed after he had walked, cinching the
bases on loose playing. Another In -the
sixth was added on a couple ot errors.
In the hecond Inning Beck A Gregg
made their first score when Lockhart
walked and was advanced to third on
a scratch hit by Adams. Lockhart
was out later when Richardson hit one
to pitcher, who threw to third, catching
Lockhart, Adams going to second and
Rtchnrdson sate on first. On a fielder’s
choice by G. Moore, Adams scored.
Davis then fanned and Garwood went
out pitcher to first, ending the agony.
In the second the hardware men again
scored on a hit, n passed ball, a stolen
base and an out. In the seventh an
other was added by a couple of hits
and a stolen base. In the ninth Adams
hit a three-bagger to center field and
scored on a passed ball.
Notes.
.idnms plsyed a pretty game tor the
B. A O. boys, getting bait of the four
runs, two hits, one a three bagger,
besides several assists and a put-out.
In the fifth Inning, Keen caught a
foul from Lockrldge’s bat In the back
of hi* head. After several minutes he
was all right and batted In hie regular
turn. a
Rice and Keen came Into the lime
light by getting a couple of blngtes
each.
Richardson played a nice game
around Station No. 1 for the hardware
men.
Cannon played a swell game for the
B. A G. boys on third.
Talk about loose playing, the score
keeper was unable to keep up vyttb
the mlsplays.
Haron and Lockrldge went Into the
error column for the painters, but there
as no harm done In either case.
The box score:

bases, Lockrldge 2, Cunyus;

The game was marked with much

Capture Saturday’s Game
and Break Into Lead
for Few Hours.
Nashville, Tenn., Aug. 12.—The
Crackers lambasted Johnny Duggan
and Bill Sorrell, two of the Dobber
slabmen, all over the lot and to the
tall and uncut Saturday afternoon.
Also they won the last game to be
played in Nashville between these two
clubs this season by the score of
to 3.
The Crackers had on their batting
clothes and the way they hit the ball
was a shame In the sight of the Nash
vllle fanatics.
“Hoot Mon” McKenzie, of the Crack
ers, was as steady as an old war horse
and the Dobbers coi.ld not touch him,
James Claudius Fox found* his bat
ting eye again Saturday and he pasted
the ball on many occasions. Every man
on the Atlanta club were setting the
woods on fire Saturday with his willow
wand except Paskert and Castro.
Neither Paskert or Castro made
hit. Becker made only one blngle, but
he scored two runs. Winters made
two hits; Fox 3; Jordan 2; Dyer 3, and
Sweeney 2. “Hoot Mon" McKenzie also
mode a hit.
Johnny Duggan was knocked out of
the box In the sixth Inning and BUI
Sorrell, who took his place, fared no
better.
The Crackers played an errorless
game. Every man on the team played
big league ball. Castro and Dyer
played great ball In the field and this
trio saved many hits.

King, for the Electric Co., after pitch

the going was a little too heavy, and
he retired In favor of Cook, who did
not last as long. Harry Snelltngs fin

singles out of as many times up. Sar-
torlous was there with the willow, and
planted two nice doubles and one sin

two brilliant one-handed stabs of long
files which put life lnt<* the game.
