THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 1907.
THAT LEAD SO NEAR AND YET SO BLOOMING EAR
SPORTING PAGE EDITED BY
PERCY H. WHITING
I NOT NEWS, BUT VIEWS
That lead in the pennant race is a tantalizing thing.
Atlanta has nearly had it about ’steen times lately. But al
ways that deadly .002—or something worse—intervenes between
the Crackers and the lead.
However, it’s exciting. And the Crackers' ore certainly
playing their heads off for the money. Every man is going at it
with a mighty determination to get the games, and it is a good
team that can head them.
While we sympathize with Montgomery in her misfortune'of
losing a grand stand, ’still we are not sorry that circumstances
have thrown three more games on Ponce DeLeon diamond. _
As far as can be ascertained it is the first time in the history
of the league that transferred games have done Atlanta any
good. " •
We have a score or two to settle with “Them Dubs” from
Montgomery.
They beat Atlanta out of second place last year and on
their last visit here they put an awful crimp in Atlanta’s hopes.
It is now up to the Crackers to get some revenge and the last
chances come Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
And don’t for a minute think that Atlanta will overlook
them.
The treasurer of the Montgomery club had better take some
nerve tonic before he counts the receipts of those Ponce DeLeon
games. Tho Pretzel club is the “home club” on this trip and
gets all the grand-stand rake-off. And, with a double-header
and a Saturday game, there will be more money in the Legisla
tors’ treasury as a result of those three games than they take in
at home in sixteen years.
However, Atlanta is in no position to begrudge them the
coin. The Crackers will get more out of any one game from the
visitors’ share than they would have been paid for the whole se
ries if it had been played in Montgomery.
Presumably the New Orleans papers will howl over the
transfer. And we’ll admit that we would be “agin it” qur-
selves if it were not that Montgomery has the good excuse of a
blown-down grand-stand.
We don’t believe in transferring games when it can be
helped, and the fact that they are transferred to Atlanta does
not change our opinion.
However, with the Pretzels minus a grand-stand, there
seems to be no help for it,.
In yesterday’s Georgian we called attention to the fact that
swearing in the hearing of the ladies at the ball park was not en
couraged and mentioned Lee Garvin’s name.
Now Garvin arises to say that he did not cuss, unless maybe
in the heat of the moment.
He states that he said “Go on, Dan,” to Umpire Dan Pfen-
ninger. ,
We were a trifle inclined to credit the “heat of the moment”
theory at first, but after hearing him say about the same thing in
Tuesday’s game, we arc willing to give him the benefit of the
doubt. •
And be it said to Garvin’s credit, he has always behaved
himself in an exemplary manner on tho Atlanta diamond, and
has never failed ter play good ball.

PACING CHAMP
BREAKS RECORD
Galesburg, 111., Aug. 14.—Five thou-
aand persona saw the opening day'a
racing of the Great Western circuit
here yesterday. Three races were on
the program but the feature was the
trial of the famous champion pacer,
Dan Patch,'against time. Dan made tjie
mile in 1:66 3-4. Dan Patch was driven
by Horsey and broke the track record
set by himself last year, clipping a full
second off the former mark and also
getting the fastest mile on &ny track
this year. The horse was aided by
two runners and a wind shield.
Hersey got his charge away to
good start and Patch went to the quar
ter pole In 29 1-2; one-half In :58 1-2:
three-quarters In 1:27 1-2, and the mile
In 1:56 3-4.
STORY OF GAMES
Well, It was a dirty shame to lose the last one.
But anyhow Atlanta won the first game of the double-header yeat.r
day afternoon by a score of 12 to 2. ' ler "
And then lost the second one 3 to 2.
Things happened the way they usually do after a bunch of players h».
romped away with one game. They let down and before they get amir?
again they are distanced. * started
That may not be any Invariable rule, but It happens pretty freni,
and It was Just such a trick that Birmingham pulled off. H uy
The first game was the most awful wallop you ever saw.
Wilhelm started In to pitch, but the Crackers most certainly knock
ed his metaphorical block clear off and Into the middle of next week Thrv
hammered him around In a most promiscuous fashion and "The Ew li
the Barons" was getting hts from start to finish. ' 01
With one down In the first Inning, Winters. Paskert, Fox and Jnr
dan singled. Just for a change "Little Eva" walked Castro. Then fivll
and Sid Smith singled some more. 1 >cr
In all, this cataclysm netted five runs.
Also it convinced Vaughn that Wilhelm would not do, so he Dut
Weller In.
The outlook was too discouraging for the long, dark gent from the
Smoke Pile. He held the Crackers safe In the second, but In the thini
they walked into him. And from then on to the end the sound of base hits
and ^the^ deep hard breathing of the Baron fielders reverberated ’from
It was as awful a thumping as any pair of pitchers ever got at Ponce
DeLeon, and the final count showed nn even dozen runs for the Crackers
And at that the game was called at the end of six and a half Innings
"by consent." Bill Smith was satisfied. He had plenty of runs. Harrv
Vaughn "got his," too—but not runs.
The Barons did pull down a pair—one In the first and one In the last
Inning.
Russell Ford gave them these, Just to show that he was not stlnev
After the first there wasn't much use of working, and "Russ" Just went at
it hard enough to stir up a nice perspiration.

The last Blrmlngham-Atltfnta game
of tho season begins nt Ponce DeLeon
park at 3:30 Wednesday.
Then, Instead of taking the road and
hitting the rails for Montgomery, the
Crackers will receive the Pretsela on
home grounds.
Things aro breaking pretty bad for
the Legislators at homo and In conse
quence they aro more than pleased to
gst a shot at Atlanta gate receipts.
There may he a double-header with
Montgomery or there may not. As the
Montgomery team will be in tho role
of "home team” here Manager Malar-
key will be able to dictate this. Prob-
nbiy he will want the double bill. His
tenm needs the money and does not
especially mind losing the game.
Zeller or McKonxIe against Wilhelm
Is the bill for Wednesday.
Gardner Is still 111 and will doubt
less not play In Wednesday's game.
This fast left fielder Is down with fever
and may not play for several days.
Garvin will be In the outfield and
Lattlmer will catch.
Saturday’s gams Is likely to be an
early affair. Atlanta has to get to
Memphis for a Sunday game and to do
so will have to leave on a train sched
uled to pull out something after 4
o'clock. Of course the train will be held
for awhile, but at that the game will be
an early one.
By long distance phone from
Memphis It Is learned that Memphis
made 10 hits and no errors In Tues
day's games and New Orleans made 12
hits and no errors.
E. Manning has been released by
Memphis.
At the directors' meeting In Memphis
E. W. Booth, of Houston, was on hand
and wanted to buy a Southern League
franchise, Memphis or Birmingham
preferred. No price could be obtained
on the former and the latter was of
fered for 350,000.
No soles were recorded.
Patsy Donovan will lead the Brooklyn
team agoln next year. Only a few
changes wilt be made In the Dodger
team. .
George Stovall and Frank Delehanty,
of the Cleveland team, are said to have
Jumped to the Atlantic League out
laws.
Savs The Montgomery State:
Percy Whiting has clearly cap
tured the title of First Ffgurer of
the Southern circuit, but once In a
while his geometry, or trigonome
try, or whatever he uses. Blips an
angle.
Last Friday The Georgian said:
"Turner, of the Barons, made the
first home run of the year, at the
Electric park grounds."
Possibly more four seekers have
eventuated this season at Elec
tric park than on any other South
ern diamond during the same pe
riod.
Fourteen Is the total number to
date and here are the men that
swatted them out and the pitchers
who got swatted:
Houts, off Manuel: Houtz, off
Brltensteln; Molesworth, off
Weems; Molesworth. off Malarkey;
Perry, off Ragan; Perry, off Sor
rell; Perry, off Kommers; Perry,
off Eyler, Hausen, off Wilhelm;
Hausen, off Turner; Lister, off
Walsh: Henline, off Hoffer; Tur
ner, off Weems.
Perry Is the only batter who has
collected more than two homers,
the third sacker having four, twice
as many as any other man.
Hausen ripped off both his loop-
the'-loop hits In the same game.
The first one came In the second
Inning with the bases full and
caused Daddy Vaughn to yank
Turner out of the box.
In the vef-y next Inning Bill
cracked out another off Wilhelm
for the full circuit, shooting Nye
In ahead of him.
Hausen’s two home runs netted
six scores In two consecutive In
nings, which comes somewhere
near being a world's record.
Evidently we were wrong AGAIN.
Wo copped the statement from some
body and took It for granted that It
was all right. . .
Moral—Don’t take the other fellow’s
word for It.
Yes, we sort of had the laugh on Birmingham In the first,
so In the second.
Far, far from It—and very different. There wasn't any Atlanta laugh
at all—not so you could notice It.
Just by Way of clinching the large lead Bill Smith sent In Roy Cas-
tleton, the best pitcher In the league, and Roy pitched all right. A cou
ple of errors, a short moment of wildness and rather wobbly base running
beat him. With perfect support Castleton would have won, or with per
fect base running It would have been a cinch. Or If the Crackers had
hit Ragan as hard as usual It would have been a spinach.
But what's the use?
The Cracker team had played Itself out In the first game, while the
Barons who played In the opener seemed to give way to an aggregation
that played like the pennant winners of 1906. And while they won less
on their own merits than on Atlanta's "demerits" stilt they put up a
nice article of ball.
Most of the credit for Atlanta’s two runs belongs to Jim Fox. He
soaked out a three-bagger in the first that scored Paskert from second
and he hit another three-bagger In the fourth and scored on Walters' er
ror.
The second was one of the hardest games of the year to lose. It
meant so much, for one thing. If Atlanta won both she went In the
lead whatever happened In Memphis.
But It was a hard luck game for other reasons. It galls to think
that good fielding would have saved It. It stings to remember that
good base running would have pulled it out of the fire. And It rankles
a trifle because a shade of luck would have turned the tide.
But what's the use?
They took he second one by better playing and any team that out
plays Atlanta Is entitled to the money.
Here are the box scores:
First Gams.
Williamsport, a Trlstate club, has
turned Pitcher Manning over to the
New York American League club for
some cash and the gift of Pitcher Sal
lee. Manning Is one of the best In the
Trlstate. Sallee formerly played with
Birmingham, pitching a few games for
the Vaughnltes last year.—Exchange.

GAME NOTES
FIRST GAME.
Bid Smith was lucky to get his first
hit. In the first Inning Sid, sent one
out by Carlos Smith. "Horseshoe" fell
down and the bolt got by him. When
he picked It up lie fielded It to short
stop but someway It got by Demont and
was finally plucked by Alcock, who
threw to the plate. However, Castro
and Dyer scored before the ball reached
tho plate.
Fox's single In the first Inning came
iretty near being a fielder's choice with
■askert out at second from Walters
to Demont. Nobody In the Southern
League but Paskert could have beaten
the ball there.
The foul-fly on which Dyer was re
tired In the third was the lowest yet.
It did not bound over a couple of feet
high. And Lattlmer got under It.
Jim Fox was certainly hitting them
out. In the second Inning his fly-out
to Garvin’ In left field was so far away
from the bases that Becker went from
second to third and Paskert from first
to second on' the throw In.
"Tax” Lattlmer got a real hit and
a near-hit In the first game. The latter
was the thing he sent down to Jim
Fox In the second Inning. The ball hit
his bat by accident nnd so surprised the
Atlanta Infield that the Old Boy nearly
went safe. Castleton covered the bag
and nabbed him.
The Atlanta players seemed to hate
to give up their chances at the ball,
especially If It was a fly. There were
several occasions when players nearly
collided. Ones the hall went to the
ground. At another time Paskert final
ly got under one that he and Win
ters chased and It was nearly Jarred
out of his hand by the Impact of "Gin
ger's” bulk.
SECOND GAME.
Mcock appeared to be guilty of a
bit of shady work In the second game.
When Jim Fox hit his first three-bag
ger he tried to stretch It Into a home
run. When he rounded the third sack
It appeared that Alcock Interfered Vtth
him and Jim returned to "bawl him
out” after It was over.
This Isn’t the first offense of this
kind on the Ponce DeLeon diamond
this year, but local fans are sincere In
the hope that It Is the losL
A man Is entitled to alt the bases he
hits for. Of course In this cose Jim
had no chance for home and It was
bad coaching that let him trt for It.
However, that does not excuse Alcock's
work.
Roger Bresnahan still feels the ef
fects of the blow he received on the
head at Cincinnati. He has much trou
ble sleeping at nights and a hot. broil
ing sun maked It impossible for him to
work owing to dizxfnes!). Roger got
back into the gains earlier than his
physicians advised and only his superb
nerve has been keeping him us.
Dear Percy; If you will Indulge me
few moments I will pay my respects
and the respects of a number of the
downtrodden of the wild-eyed and
leather-lunged to the Silent Thing be
hind the Atlanta baseball club—not the
manager, who la all right, but the di
rectorate which Is all right every now
and then--mostly then.
It Is all about that doublcheader
Monday which did not come to pnas,
and about the way some of the faith
ful were treated—rather mistreated—by
those' gentlemen who, out of pure pa
triotism, are running the ball club—
the fact that they are making a few
thousand every week or so being, of
course, merely Incidental.
It was advertised by the Silent Thing
that two games were to be played Mon
day afternoon and that one price of
admission would be charged. If only
one game had been advertised a few
thousand fewer fans would have at
tended. If It had been advertised that
two prices of admission were to be
charged for the two games, likewise
and the same about the few thousand
fewer fans.
These fans paid to see two games.
But one was played, and therefore all
were entitled to get their money back
or a proportionate part, the which they
did not. Of course. It was not the base-
twill association's fault that It rained.
Neither Is It the theatrical manager’s
fault when a wreck prevents his com
pany from keeping an engagement.
This, however. Is Just a little violet.
There are bouquets, laurel wreaths,
diadems, and haloes yet to come.
Some there were who paid admission
and for seats In the grandstand who
came, to see only the first game—Just
as some came to see only the last—
and when the first was called off they
left—possibly had to go.
They got stung. This la about all
they did get, excepting a free bath, a
grove of luscious lemons, oodles of ex
perience and the musical merry ha-ha!
Still they had a chance to get half of
what they were promised by remain
ing, and ns this Is doing pretty well for
the baseball association, no particular
kick Is raised.
Those faithful fellows In the bleach
ers—by the way, I had a pass and sat
In the press box—are the ones whose
complaints I wish to voice.
When It rained (they had to leave the
grounds and go to shelter. The man
agement had no more right to expect
them to stt through the rain than tM
fans had a right to expect the teams to
play in the rain.
When they came back for the second
game, they were refused admittance to
the park. They had paid to see t»°
games. The first one was not P *>'*"
and they were not allowed to witn«j
the second. They had rain checks, too,
and don’t forget that! ,
For the price of admission to t*
games they were allowed to see neltn •
They got absolutely nothing but tj»
articles of commerce previously m e ".
tloned, only In large quantity amt
much more Juicy quality. .
You fans who,, since the days wn
ancient history was modern, have do
working up an appetite for dinner w
lambasting the players, why not t
your attention to those who reail>
at fault?
And you warriors of/he sporting IP™;
who have ever and forever been t» ,
hasting the afqresald wild-eyed
leather-lunged, why not get out on
skirmish line and make a feeble charts
at the management—tho Silent Tntns
the real directors and dictators -
galvanised and lemonlsed fellow*

fingers and greedily gather In the sb"

Oh, some of these Silent
