THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS: TUESDAY, AUGUST 31, 1 im
J NOT NEWS, BUT VIEWS j
5 —
BY PERCY H. WHIXINO.
It Is obliging of tbe Nashville team to drop a game when the Crackers
neglect to cop. That keeps Atlanta's lead very safe.
A desirable move was made Monday when a company of New York
millionaires was organised to run the races for the Vanderbilt cup and the
grand prise. •’
It begins to appear that long road races can not be run at a profit
if they are to be run at all. then It will be necessary for men with money
to take the matter In hand.
That Is the scheme employed In running the yacht races for the Amer
ica's cup. There Is no h6pe of making any money on. tho deal to pay the
enormous expenses of constructing and sailing a cup defender. So a lot of
men with a lot of money form a "syndicate” and the syndicate pays tbe
bills. ,
It seems desirable that these long road races be held, and any move to
put them on a business basis Is welcome.
The American league race Is still alive and kicking. It continues to
look very much like Detroit, but the cohorts of Cornelius McCIlllcuddy are
far, far from dead. *
It Is a matter for honest regret that thoroughbred racing can not be
run without gambling. In many ways It Is a beautiful sport.
Take a big event Hke Monday's Futurity—a race In which tbe pick of
the young horses of all America meet In one spectacular contest. It must
have been a beautiful slglht—the beautiful track, the stands packed with
well dressed Now Yorkers, the flashing colors of the Jockeys and the hand
some, mettlesome, flurried, nervous young horses.
If you know anything of thoroughbred racing, you can picture It all In
your mind—tbe parade past the stand, amid a hushed silence,-the nerye-
stralnlng wait at tbe barrier, where a pack of young horses raise sand,
kick, plunge, rear and turn. Then for a second the horses are In line and
all ready. The barrier snaps and each baby racer Is digging for dear life
for the borne stretch and the wire. For a flash It Is anybody's race. Then
one of the coupled favorites, Sweep, draws out In front and Is never chnl-
lenged, fairly cantering home, an easy winner.
The'excitement Monday lasted only 71 4-5 seconds, but It was real ex
citement while It lasted. .
Isn’t It pitiful that this can’t be a real sport, uncontaminated by gam
bling? It can’t, tho; and there Is no earthly use of trying to cast any sen
timental glamor around It. It Is as straight a gambling proposition as any
roulette game that ever was played, and always will be.
And In tbe long years this game will never prosper. The trend of the
times Is away from gambling, and In due time thoroughbred racing will
follow the trend.
And when that happy time comes the brightest feature In all the Illu
mination of tbat great hour will be that a lot of lazy hand-booking hulks,
who lacked tbe energy to earn their dally bread by honest work, will quit
filching the dollars from the pockets of a lot of hard-working young men
with neither much money nor sense.
And Borne of the band-book men who go to work will be right here
In Atlanta, too, and don't you forget that.

Even Mathewson hasn't done so well late
ly as Jack Rowan.
True, more victories have come to Matty;
but when one looks at the actual work done
by these two twirlers, the Cincinnati man has
it on the mighty “Big Six.’’
Take the last six games Rowan has pitched,
for example. In only one of these half-dosen
contests has more than one run been made
off him, Philadelphia scoring two beeause of
an error made after the side should have been
retired, and winning the game from tho Reds,
2 to 1.
Other games pitched 1
few weeks were mark*
being scored in each by the opposition. The
teams he held to this lone tally score were
York. lwi«
Brooklyn, twice; New
twics. and Bos-
Rowan started in the season with but a
hssy Ides of where the plate was located.
Manager Griffith then took him In band and
eventually succeeded in getting the big fel-
low’s ideas of location working properly.
Then to tan him properly for hard work hs
sent him in sgsinst the toughest pitchers in
the business only. Rowan didn’t win many
C sates under these conditions, but he did
rep the other fellows from piling up large
bundles of runs, and that was going some.
Ills last six games probably show better
form than that developed by say pitcher in
the National league In consecutive' contests
Being scored sgsinst only seven
times in six consecutive games is a record
that few pitchers ever made in the history
of the game.
Two lucky hits and some bid pegging by
Roth were responsible for the lone run made
by Brooklyn in the Thursday game with the
Reds. Had Rowan had an even break in
that contest, he would have shut out the 8u-
perbsi, giving him an average of one ran per
game for six consecutive games. But seven
runs In six games is some pitching, and
proves that Rowan’s work is on the level and
not tinged by anything like so called “luek”
snd ’’good breaks.”
CONNIE MACK^PICKS ’EM’RIPE”
Connie Mack baa the happy faculty of picking up unknown baseball material
and developing 'll Into major league “stuff.” Two shining examples of this are
found In £d<Ue Collins and William Krause.
Tbe full name of Connie Maek’s sensational young southpaw Is Harry William
Krause, lie was born In Han Francisco, July 32. 1H7. He played bis first ball
with the Columbia Park team, a famous Juvcutl# aggregation on the coast, and
later won fame at St. Marys college, Oklahoma.
Ills professional debut wan made In the “outlaw” California league with San
Jose li* 1W7. Iteeommende*! to Mock by “Josh” Blley, Krause wa* signed. He
Was fanned to Harrisburg. In the Trl-ntste league, and led tbe pltebers, winning
seventeen games out of twenty-**!* starts. >
Control is bis strong point, tho bis repertoire Includes a fine curve and fair
speed. His demeanor modest nnd he admit* tbst bis sensational showing this
year la as much of a surprise to himself as to any one else.
One of tbe greatest young players In b*sel*U today is Eddie Collins. He was
tbe flrat American league player this year to make 160 bit*, and he has good
chance a of leading the Johnson hltsmltb*. He Is ss fsst as tbe proverbial streak
of lightning and heats out many a bast on account of his remarkable speed. Col
lins is a Columbia graduate, and once captained the Momlngslde Heights team.
He Joined the Athletics in 1M, playing for them In the tag erfd of that season
under tbe name of “BuIHvsn/’ After quitting Columbia, Collins nlt/ed with the
Mnckmen under bis right name. He had to decorate the beach I® iwf. but In 1908
he became more nr leas a regular. Mack considers Collins one of hla greatest play-
era ami wouldn’t sell him for $10,000,
Collins can play either In the Infield or outfield and baa 1hw> u working at second

The way It framed up at the finish
O'Leary was the hero. > There was a
certain ' unmistakable ..timelines* about
that «wat of his that mnde It a rather
notable batting performance.
In th.* first «.f tin* t u rift li • 1 - -
er8 Just frittered away a corking chance
to win the game. Hayless opened the
Inning with u grounder to Cranaton
and was safe at first on the throw, only
to stray off under the hallucination that
the ball had gono by-Daubert. He was
tagged off with ridltfulou* ease. Then
Mr Murray singled and started for third
when Sid Smith followed with a safe
swat. Ho couldn't get there ahead of
the throw, however, and was out from
Neighbor* to Wheeler. Then Sid Smith
tossed off the last chance by trying to
steal.
If Dick Bayless had stuck to first
base he would have scored sure and the
gamo would probably have gone down
In history ns a tedious tie.
The Crackers started th© ball rolling
in fin- first with a run. Mi-Mui : -
fclbd. So did Sid Smith.' And Jack Ue
hit a two-sacker. Net resultsOne run.
The Memphians furnished a surprise
In- their half of th© second. -They hit
Bill Bartley almost at will and scored
two runs In a row. -Then Bartley took
reef In his spinnaker, set the break-*,
turned off the swat stuff and the Bluff
ers couldn’t tally again until the twelfth
Inning.
Lee and Jordan tvere the men who
lied things up In the terrible third. A
base on balls to th© new man and *
three-bagger by the old one turned the
trick.
After the third both pitchers began
to* do some notable work and there j
wasn’t anything doing until the "tum
ble” twelfth with Its fierce finale.
