SPORTS CRACKERS ARE NOW PERFORMING AT PUNKVILLE

NOT NEWS, BUT VIEWS
fcY PERCY H. WHITING.
It'* lucky that Atlanta win* about every game, for the Nashville team
1* doing tbat very game thing. If the Cracker* once falter, they are In
danger, for the Naahvllle player* are working their very head* off to win
games. *
It'* also lucky that Bill Smith did not attempt to draw thl* finish too
fine. If he had, the Cracker* would have to do »ome awful huatllng here
at the finish. '
That Jordan-Newton scrap was an unpleasant *ort of a thing. It I*
uncertain from report* which man was to blame for starting the trouble,
but whoever was ought to stand a fine. >
Internal discords will cost more games In a short time than any
other one cause. In recent years the Atlanta team has racked along very
peacefully, and It will be a cause for deep regret If any unpleasantness de
velops now.
Various schemes are being proposed for testimonials to Billy Smith
and to the pennant-winning Atlanta team to show the appreciation of the
fans.
Something big ought certainly to be done. Bill Smith and every man
on the team ought to have a present. And the only kind of a present to
give In such cases Is money.
The best wsy to get the money Is either to tyim the post-season series
with Chattanooga into a grand three-day benefit or to have a monster ben
efit performance after the last series Is over. This beats any scheme of
passing the hat that was over known.
Rather the most ambitious plan for rewarding Billy Smith for hla
services has been proposed by a loyal Atlanta fan who wants 1,000 fans
to chip In $6 apiece and buy $5,000 worth of stock In the baseball associa
tion for Smith.
This is a bully scheme, but it would be a matter of some difficulty to
raise the $5,000 in the first place, and In the second It Is not at all likely
that the Georgia Railway and Electric Company would sell the stock at any
price.
Bill Smith Is entitled to some kind of a great big present, and now Is
the time to come forward with suggestions.
Has anybody any Ideas on the subject of what he should have and
how it should bo secured?
CRACKERS COP THREE IN TWO BAYS,
DEFEATING MOBILE AND MEMPHIS
Memphis, Tenn., Aug. 30.—The steady progress of the Atlanta team toward a Southern league pennant was
In no way interrupted Saturday or Sunday. The team arrived here Sunday after winning a double-header from
Mobile, and turrfed right In and walloped the local players with the utmost ease, handling themselves as Bnap-
plly as tho they were playing the first game of the season. There Is no sign of diamond-soreness on the part of
the Atlanta team, and the players are standing up bravely under the strain of a gruelling road trip.
It Is fortunate for the team that the easy games are coming at the end. The Crackers faced their heavy
opponents first while they were fresh from home and In good trim. Now that the trip Is being wound up and
the players are tired, they are meeting such comparative cinches as Memphis and Little Rock.
Gulls Give Up a Double-Header Saturday, Making
Four Straight Defeats on the
Series.

Marietta Cops
From Norcross
Marietta, Qa„ Aug. 30.—Under the
able management of "Bill" Neal, who
took charge of the team last week. Ma
rietta copped a brilliant and fiercely
played game at Norcroia from that
team Saturday.
Manager Neat uncorked another
youthful phenom In Bmlth. the seven-
teen-year-old high achool twlrler,
whoa, work against Norcroa. wn, sen
sational In the extreme. He fanned
fourteen men, the teat three In the
ninth Inning, after Norcroia had men
on second and third with none out.
Robinson, pitching for Norcroes, also
showed up well. He gave up ten hit*,
but kept them well scattered and was
very effective with men on baaee.

Mobile, Ala., Auo. 30.—If you want to throw any Mobile player Into
frothing hysterics Just slip up behind him and . say "Atlanta” right quick.
It'll give It to ’em every time. .
The reason Is that the Crackers on Saturday pinned a coupie more on the
gloomy Quits, making It four straight In three days. This so shook the
nerve of the Mobile players that they have all been taking a tonic over
Sunday In the hope of bracing up for the Montgomery series.
The firet game was a close one and Atlanta was lucky to get away with
It. The score was 4 to 3.
The second one was Atlanta's all the way, and the Crackers won by a
■core of I to 1. x
It wasn't much of a day for playing. The clouds were heavy and threats
of rain and slight showers were numerous and annoying. The second game
came near to going out by the "no game, rain" route, but lurk was against
Mobile and the rain held off. The second game waa called at the end of the
sixth Inning on account of darkness. .
The first game was punkly played. Nine errors were made and hits were
numerous.. No runs were mode after the fifth Inning. Johns pitched tho
game for Atlanta. It lasted two hours and eighteen minutes.
In the second game Tom Fisher went In to pitch. From appearances,
Tom's bum ar ale was alt right again. He certainly hurled a hefty game and
waa never In hot water. The Mobile players were lucky to get thetr one
run. A pnjjs got Fisher In trouble ar.d It cost him a run to get out.

8TAN01NG OF THE CLUBS*
Memphis, Tenn., Aug. 30.—If the
Memphis players had supported
“Dutch" Kelber ns well as the Crackers
stood behind Tommy Atkins there
might have been a different tale told to
the thousands of defeat-hardened fans
who flocked to Red Elm park Sunday
afternoon.
Keiber certainly pitched a better
game than* his half-sized rival. He al
lowed Just four hits, while “Tiny Tom'
was found tor eight.
But alas! for Memphis, the fielding
was punk In the very extreme. Three
errors were made and they were costly.
The game was tossed off In the fifth.
At this time the Memphians had a two
run lead and were Bolng strong.
In this inning, the home team played
wretchedly, bobble following bobble,
tho all of the mlsplays did not get In
the error column.
Barr started the fun with a grounder
to Baerwald. who foozled. Kelber al
lowed Winters to be hit by a batted
ball and then Atkins took It upon him
self to bunt. Kelber fielded the ball
poorly and threw it worse toward third
in an attempt to head off Barr. The
ball went to left field and* Barr scored.
Coulson loafed on the fielding and Win
ters scored. Then O'Leary made t
mess of things when the ball finally
got to the plate and Atkins scored, win
ning the game.
More punk work by the Blulferf al
lowed two more Crackers to score in
the eighth Inning, bringing the Anal
score to B to 2 In favor of the Invincible
league leaders.
The score:

JACK CHESBRO IS A JOKE NOW, BUT BACK IN’01
"HAPPY JACK” WAS AS GOOD AS WORLD EVER SAW
By O. B. KEELER.
The latter-day fans are poking quantities of fun at Jack Cheabro, alnce that famou. ten-runs-ln-one-In
ning game the veteran damp-filnger lost to Detroit the other day.
“Or Jack Cheabro—ten runt inane Inning!" they chortle, these latter-day fan*. "Cobb 'n Crawford both
got a home run AN' a single apiece—In ONE Inning! An' Cobb batted In FIVE i uiih. himself—In one Inning!"
That one-Innlng bunlneas seems to tickle the latter-day fans Immensely, while the terrific swatting Cobb,
Crawford & Co. make* them gasp for breath. "Ah’ off’n Ol* Jack Cheabro. too!"
That's another killinjrly funny point—"ofTn Ol’ Jock Cheabro!" They can't aeem to get over It.
You aee. aomebody has told them (theae latter-day fana) that once upon a time Jack Cheabro waa Rome*
thing of a pitcher. They don't recall It, of course—they don’t recall anything thdt happened before Ty Cobb
broke Into the American league a pair of years back. They may admit there might have been some ball playing
before that time—under proteat. of eourne, and not admitting there waa anything very claoay about It.
But they are enjoying a huge laugh on Jack Cheabro.
Naturally, the latter-day fans don’t atop to think there may be another aide to thla excruciatingly funny
spectacle. If they DID they wouldn't be natural.
But there la another aide, juat the same, exactly as there waa great ball playing while the latter-day
fana were learning not to say "empire."
The other side of the Cheabro Incident la not funny.
It Is the spectacle of a veteran twlrler, once the supreme master of his craft, holder of the record for con
secutively won gamea tn modern baseball, batted about the lot by a lusty bunch of youngsters whose attack his
falling powers were no longer able to combat.
There he atood, the hero of hundreds of hard-won victories, the wizard whose terrific "spltter" won and lost
a pennatn all In a single season—hammered and helpless, wishing passionately, perhaps, for some miraculous re
turn of his old power, that he might fan those terrible .-luggers as he had fanned their peers—and better—in
the days gone by.
No, the other side of the Chesbro Incident is not funny. -
Also, ft Is rather Interesting to those who are not latter-day fans to conjecture what would have happened
to Messrs. Cobb. Crawford A Co. had they faced "Happy Jack" Chesbro six or seven years ago In a game on
which something depended.
That, too, might well have been extremely "funny." ^

matter drop right where It Is. which Is
tho^ultlmatum laid down by Manager
Billy doesn't think there will be any
more trouble.
The row came up over a plot of the
players to kid Newton.
Jack Lively, the Montgomery pitch-
er. In known among ball players as "the
murderer." The Atlanta players de
cided to Joke Newton Into believing
that Lively was after him and Intended
to give him a thrashing. To make It
stronger. Lively whs put wise and he
was sitting In f»>nt of the Cordova

went a little bit too Strong and Jordan
took a poke at At, closing that gentle
man’s eye.
