•l'HJS AlXiANTA UJSORttlAN AND NEWS. SATURDAY, AD DU ST 24, 1U07. CRACKERS START THEIR LAST SERIES IN FRANK’S SPORTING PAGE EDITED BY~ll] PERCY H. WHITING 1 IIMMHIIIHHHHIII | NOT NEWS, BUT VIEWS The Southern League teams are about even with the majors. Up to date they have sold as many players to the “big guys” as they have bought from the little leagues. And Sunday ends the buying season. To date the list of players bought by Southern League clubs either for use during the rest of this year and for next year or for trial next spring, includes: Pitcher McKenzie bought by Atlanta from Columbia. Pitcher Viebahn bought by Atlanta from Columbia. Shortstop Pepe bought by Montgomery from Macon. Catcher Robinson bought by Montgomery from Macon. Pitcher Helm bought by Montgomery from Macon. Pi rat Baseman Wohllcben bought by Montgomery from Macon. Infielder Sentell bought by Montgomery from Oscaloosa, Iowa. Second Baseman Redmond bought by Memphis from Vicks burg. Pitcher Savidge of Jacksonville bought by Memphis. Catcher Seabaugh traded with Chicago Nationals for Hardy. Pitcher Bryant bought by Shreveport frfom Gulfport. Pitcher Lively bought by S Shreveport from Gulfport. Pitcher Bruner bought by New Orleans from Mobile. Pitcher Ryan bought by New Orleans from Gulfport. Outfielder Holland bought by New Orleans from Gulfport. Infielder Reilly' bought by New Orleans from Gulfport. That column totals up sixteen. And as yet Birmingham and Little Rock have not been heard from. So to date the Southerners have about evened thing with the majors. What they will do when the drafting season begins re mains to be observed. . ' It is rather tough on Billy Smith that the nearness of his team to the top in the pennant race makes it impossible for him to slip away and do a little scouting. Billy will have to make any additional purchases on the recommendation of his friends. Whatever Billy is going to do in the way of buying players will have to be done in a hurry, for August 25 is the last day for that form of amusement from now to tne end of the long drafting It’s a great game, this collecting of ball players. The majors buy from the Southern and the Southern buys from the Central League, and the Central League drafts from the South Atlantic, and the South Atlantic drafts from the Cotton States, and the Cotton States grabs ’em from the “semi-pro” teams and the “semi-pros” fill the gaps from the corner-lot aggregations and the corner-lot teams pick up some more men from the very cradle. Here is how it goes: The big leagues prey on the little ones, the little ones despoil the semi-pros, the semi-pros are recruited ffrom the kid teams and the big league ball players are the fathers of the kids. And such is the cycle of baseball. Extra Bright Prospects For Football at Georgia Athens, Ga., Aug. 14.—Prospects for a successful football season at the Uni versity of Georgia ore very bright. Captain Kyle Smith was In the city to day and was pleased with the outlook. "1 expect one of the best teams we have ever had," he said. "Wo will got Williams, of Gordon Institute, and a majority of Sandy Beavers' Stone Mountain team." The Wootball men who will enter from Stone Mountain are Bradshiw, Kelly. Rawlings, Bullard, Battoy, Col lier, Woodruff and probably Orrlngton. Oftior good men are expected from G. M. A., Locust Grove and G. M. C. Coach Whitney will arrive about the middle of September to take charge of the squad. Lost year with only throe or four of the ‘05 team as a nucleus, he built up a team which succeeded In trimming Alabama on Thanksgiving day. This year his task should be easier, as he will probably return ten of the regular squad—Smith, Harrison, llnteher, Arrendale, Fleming, Thur- mnn. Graves, Hodgson, Nlcoll, and Brown. A Short Fanning Bee Over Games of Friday Afternoon The Babblem* pennant prospects were given an awful Jolt Friday after noon when the Birmingham Barons defeated the Turtles by the score of 6 to 0. Olngor Clark pitched superb ball for the Barons and the Babblers never had a chance to score. Clark allowed only five hits. Shields, the new man secured by Babb about two weeks ago, received his In a large package. Shields was knocked out of the box in the fifth Inning, and Crfstall took his place on the rubber. Billy made a nice showing against the Barons. # Little Kock defeated the Montgom ery Climbers Friday afternoon |>y the score of'l to 0.

ATLANTA CLOSING IN SLOWLY BUT SURELY ON BABB’S TIRED BUNCH OF WARRIORS Tho tie game in New Orleans that Atlanta pulled oft Friday and the overwhelming defeat of Memphis by Birmingham have cheered Atlanta fanatics. Friday's happenings only cut down Memphis' lead .006 and the Babblers are still .016 to the good. At lanta must win Iwo full games and Memphis lose two before the Crackers can get on even terms again. But local fans believe that they see the beginning of the end. The game Friday proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that Rube Zeller is himself again. And now that he Is, the Crackers are hard to beat. With Zeller and Castleton almost sure winners, and with Spade, Ford and McKensle to do the fllllng-ln, the prospects do not look half an bad as they might. As for the excitement over Little Rock. Well, the Travelers are coming strong and are making a reg ular Montgomery of a finish. But don’t take them seriously, as pennant possibilities. They are 6 1-2 games behind Memphis, and the race ends September 14. Of course, they are only 4 1-2 games behind. Atlanta, and a string of marvelous happenings might give them a temporary hold on second place. But It will not last long, even If they get it, after Atlanta gets back to Ponce DeLeon. CRACKERS HOLD PELICANS SAFE THROUGH 12 SCORELESS INNINGS Zeller and Guese Pitch Out One of Season’s Best Battles. New Orleans, La., Auk. 24.—After one doxen runless Innings of as good base ball as patrons of the game ever saw In this burg of many baseball battles, old Sol stepped down and out and dark ness ended the battle. Through the twelve Innings neither the Cracker* nor the Pelicans could score a single run, and neither team could make more thon five hit*. And though It was a pitchers’ bat tle and though the hits averaged less than half a blngle to the Inning, and though there weren't but four bases an balls given up In all, there were ex citing moments galore. It was no dull business of one-up-two-up-tbree-up- stde-out. In four Innings Rube Zeller allowed the first man up to single and in two Innings the runner ndvanced beyond first base and got nearly to scoring ter ritory. £ Memphis Has One Postponed Game Special to The Georgian. Memphis, Aug. 24.—According to Manager Babb's calculations and pro viding It doesn't rain, Memphis will figure In but two more double-headers this season. One will bo the regularly scheduled dual event at Nashville on Labor Day and the other will be the working oft of a tie at Montgomery. After the present sertee of three games with Birmingham, the Hustlers take on Montgomery and Nashville for a series of three set-tos with each, and then will begin the last road campaign, opening at Nashville September 2. Birming ham and Atlanta will be visited next, three games to be played at each of those cities, and then will come the wind-up at Montgomery with a series of four. Including the tie game to be played oft In a double-header there. j., by Greystone (Geers), won: Gen try's Star, b. m. (McHenry), second; Arrow, b. g. (Cox), third. Best tlmt 2:021-4. MACON LOSES TO THE JAYS Savidge, the Memphis Re cruit, Pitches an Ex cellent Game. Macon, Ga., Aug. 24.—Starting off with a rush with Murdoch’s home run, the locals! were unable to keep up the stride yesterday afternoon, and tho costly errors, of Pepe In throwing the ball to first were disastrous. The Jays succeeded In piling up four runs, and won the game. Having allowed nine hits In the first six Innings, Harley, of Macon, was retired, ami Stowers, the R. E. Lee youngster who came to Ma con from the Virginia State League, was given a try-out. Although he had hail no opportunity to warm up. the new twtrlcr showed unexpected strength, not allowing a single hit In his three Innings, striking out one and giving no baawa un balls.

In the ninth Atz, first man up. sin gled; Manning sacrificed, and Cross ad vanced him to third on his out. Sa brle, the mighty hitter, was third man up and noodle work was shown when he was given four of the widest ones on record and took first. With a man on first and one on third, things looked squally In the extreme, but Rlckert couldn't get tho bnll out of the Infield. After that Inning Rube steadied and retired the Pelicans In one-two-three order In the next three Innings. Dur ing the day Rube struck out ten men. Atlanta had two nifty chances to score. In the tenth Inning, after Pas- kert had gone out, Becker singled and stole second and Smith singled, putlng him on third. That put It up to Win ters and Jordan, but they did not have It In them at that particular moment. In the final Inning things looked pret ty good for a score. After Zeller and Paskert had gone out, Becker was walked und Sid Smith singled again. Once moro It was up to Winters, but Guose was a little too good and a fly to left field was tho best that George could get. At the end of the twelfth Inning It was too dork to risk any more baseball and the game was called. As an exhibition of ground and lofty fielding the affair has seldom, If over, been equalled here.

Castro Is in Shape Again, and Will Probably Get in Game. By WILL R. HAMILTON. Special to The Georgian. New Orleans, Aug. 24.—There is a bare possibility of "Count" Castrs getting back Into the game for the Crackers this afternoon, when a dou. ble-header Is scheduled. Castro boasted so much Friday about his Improved condition that Manager Smith came pretty near putting his name back In the llne-un Castro Is one of the most enthusiastic of the Crackers, despite his fractured wrist bone, and he Is undoubtedly anxious to take part In the present series. Billy Smith, says Sid Smith has played a wonderful game at short ever since Castro has been out. and he doesn't want to make a chanza until he Is sure Castro Is all right. One thing certain Is that Castro won't be out of the game very long. Two double-headers In two days now face the Crackers and p,||. cans, who put up the greatest game Friday New Orleans has seen thli season. The first game of today's double-header will start at 2:30 o’clock. A Sunday double-header has also been arranged, and the first will start at 1:45 o’clock. Heretofore the Sunday double-header plans of the locals have been spoiled on account of extra Innings In the first game, and the club does not want to take any chances this time. McKenzie Is pretty certain to pitch the first game for the Crackere today, and Ford the second. For the Pelicans Phillips and Manuel will be on the slab. It was Phillips' turn to pitch Friday, and It was doubtless good luck that he did not, as Zeller twirled such a good game. Manager Frank switched to Guese at the last moment because he thought the big fellow was not working hard enough. To keep Guese good the Pelicans have to work him In the box about every other day. "Whitey" had everything for ten Innings Friday, only one hit havlne been made off his delivery up to that time. His control was almost per* feet. In the last stages of the battle Guese eased up slightly, and In the last two or three Innings Zeller had slightly the best of It. The Rube’s worst Inning was the ninth. Atz led with a single and was sacrificed to second by Manning, going to third on Cross' Infield hit When Sabrle went to the bat Sweeney signaled for four wide ones and Zeller walked Sabrle, getting a few hisses for doing It. Sweeney’s good Judgment was Justified, however, for Rlckert, the next man up, hit ■ measly grounder to Jordan. Atz was the only Pelican to get to third, but Becker got nearer horn, than that. He was thrown out at the plate from Gatins In the tenth There were many spectacular plays and catches, no errors, no dumb plays, few bases op balls, few hits and no runs. It was a game that will hardly be duplicated IMs season. Southern. CLUBS-. Played. Won. Lost. P. C. Memphis U2 65 47 . 580 Atlanta .......

Scarbrough In Friday’s Commercial Appeal: Figures compiled from the official returns of the Atlanta-Memphll »«. rles Just finished throws considerable light on the Inside workings of tht diamond heroes, and from comparisons the experts may easily account for the manner In which the gomes resulted. Most remarkable fielding was ac- compllahed by the Memphll. The Infield with exception of Dickey Jameg played without an erro In the entire tlx games. Carey, Babb and Jaroti traversed the entire series without a "boot" or a “heave," and James, two Juggles proved the only mlscues. In face of this magnificent support tho pitchers prospered naturally. The Memphll made but three errors In six games. James' couple ini a wild throw of a bunt by Stockdale was the only blemish on tho record ] in the total*. The Memphll pulled off exactly 211 plays In six games They missed three of them. Atlanta had 222 plays. They got away with HI without error. Their fielding was .967. The Memphll club fielding was .987. The batting of tho teams also showed an advantage to the home team. In six games the Memphll amassed 39 hits for 168 times up. Atlanta faced Memphis pitchers 173 times and plucked 33 hits. The Memphll average wai .232. The Atlanta average was .190. Charlie Babb led the hitters with .368. SI Neighbors cracked at a ill clip for the sextet. Sid Smith Was the'ohly Georgian that swatted above .504 among those who played In six games. He finished With .350. Paskert «• pertenced an awful slump. He was up 23 times, struck out eight and finished with .ldO for his six-day grind. Captain Jordan also fell far dowa as will be seen. The Memphll stole 14 bases to Atlanta’s six. Atlanta played the sacrifice .game six times. Memphis twice. Here Is what the pitchers did during the aeries: ' Memphis. NAME. g. W. L. R. H. SO. BB. HB.
