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.

FIGHTING FOR LEAD If Crackers Win Two Games Monday It’s a Cinch. CRACKER PLAYERS ARE FEELING FIT 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.

"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: wood 2; sacrifice hits, Wall; bases, Lockrldge 2, Cunyus; balls, Parish 2, Lockrldge 2; pitched ball, Cunyus, Daley. Time, 2.65. Umpire, Shumate. etolen passed hit by M. Kutz 9| Western Electric 9. In a slow game of ball which pro gressed like unto a funeral procession, the Kuts team and the Western Elec tric Company met at the Myrtle street diamond, and played each other to a standstill. Score 9 to 9. The game was marked with much wrangling on both sides. The fielding of Odom, of the Kutz team, and Kay. ot the Western Electric Co., brought the crowd back to life In time to see the finish. Neely Sullivan, the pride ot the Kuts team, was sent to the rltle pit, and at no time did Sully show anything near his form. The Electri cians touched up the king (or fourteen safeties although Sully had an off day 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. Here Is the box score of the slaugh ter: ab. Sun Proofs Rice, ss. . Camp, lb. . Nowell, 3b. . Lockrldge, c. Cunyus, ct. .
