THURSDAY CRACKER CLUB OPENS AT BARONVILLE

‘r3^jfy7>£RCY//.H///rMO~
That the fates will spare us commercialised baseball is our#
fervent prayer. And yet there is such a thing as "tuicommer-
clalising” it to a dangerous degree.
The Sally league has announced that it will reorganize in a
few days and will begin all over again. It does this because
it has gone crazy on the subject of salaries.
They had a limit in the Sally league—had it for the ex
press purpose, apparently, of furnishing hilarity.^There hasn’t
been a finer baseball joke in years than that SalljMeague limit
—unless possibly it is the one in the Southern league.
Because of ignoring the limit, the Sally league clubs have
spent more money than they can afford, and the league is in a
wretched condition.
The only time they will ever get the Sally ■ league on a
paying basis will be when they agree to pool their receipts for
the whole season, as the holiday receipts are now pooled in the
Southern league. This will' mean that no team will get any
big financial returns out of winning the pennant, and maybe
that would prevent them from trying too hard to win.
In the Southern league the farce is just as apparent, bit
because the towns are larger and the clubs richer they do not
go broke as often as they used to.
Never before in the Southern league have such efforts been
made by the various clubs to keep up.in the race. Bill Smith
buys a player every other day, Charley Prank every fourth
day,* Johnny Dobbs every fifth day and the rest of *hem pret
ty often. Nashville has recently broken into the buying game
and the Vols may bear watching before the finish comes.
While we were talking of the advisability of learning, to
swim we might well have mentioned that the city is now pre
pared to teach boys and girls to swim.
It might be said, in a spirit of justified criticism, that the
city has taken an everlasting time in making ready the lake
at Piedmont Park—in fact we hear that it is not in shapo yet
for swimming but that it will be in a few days. It should
have been ready since tho middle of May, but somebody wasted
time.
And while we are criticising, our understanding is that
swimming will only be possiblo when the director is in charge
and that Director Weems can only be on the job in the after
noons. Of course the lake should be open for swimming nil
day. It would take bht little money to put a man on in the
morning who could look after things, and that would make the
lake safe fpr swimtaing at all times. However, it helps some
that a man will be in charge every week-day afternoon, and
that he will teach the boys und girls of the city to swim. Mon
day, Wednesday and Friday afternoons, the lake will be re
served for ladies and girls; on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sat
urdays it will bo open to men. .
By building n picket fence in the lake, a placo has been
prepared which is safe for the use of those who do not know
how to swim, and parents need have no fear in sending their
children there in the afternoons.
NEW STYLE OF PLAY
PROVES REAL THING
Crackers Change Method on Bases From “All Signal Play” to
Old-Fashioned “Poke It Out” Game and They Are
Now Winning Steadily.
The Cracker* are winning, and maybe
the new style of play I* the cause.
Before Otto.Jordan left for the road
trip which has been *o auspiciously
started, he announced that he planned
to switch methods for awhile and to
throw some of the science of the game
to the winds.
"The slashing game for us for
awhile," said Otto. “We'll let up a bit
on this scientific, signalling. Inside stuff
and slap at the old ball.
Since Otto Jordan has managed the
Atlanta club, It has been notable for
sclenUfic baseball, especially when men
were on bases. Every move was sig
nalled and every play thought out.
This year scientific baseball hasn't
been phenomenally successful with the
Crackers. ,
For one thing, several of the men
have not taken kindly to signal play
ing. As a result there have been
"busts” on signals and some poor team
work.
For another thing the lively ball has
changed the face of the baseball map.
It has made scientific bunting almost
Impossible. Little jabs at a ball which
would knock the old ones only a few
feet beyond the home plate, send the
new ones down to the pitcher so hard
that they Jar his teeth loose. The lively
ball has made bunting a dangerous
pastime.
For another thing, the Jumpy sphere
has made hitting easier. In the old
days It was worth while trying .to sweat
out a run or two, for It was usually
possible to hold the opposition safe.
Now a ten-run lead Isn't anything
' safe, and the slugging game Is at a pre
mium.
Realising these things, the Cracker
manager has changed tactics. Now the
signal game Is used but little. The men
are ordered to hit It out and run, Of
course signals are still used, but the
men are given more latitude and they
are able to take advantage of the new
style of ball to better advantage.
The use of this system has thus far
been moat successful, and It Is quite
possible that by means of It the local
team can get going right.
JUST AS WAS EXPECTED--
The Lookouts downed the Gulls again—Cubs and Giants won—
Matty’s team'got back into the running by taking advantage
of a double opportunity—It’s all here as narrated.

MIRACLE IS
PERFORMED
Crackers Take Second in Row
From Hitherto Invincible
Pelicans.
The Crackers uncorked a little more
of the "get-together" stuff, and the rest
was easy. Harry Johns was working
nicely, and the home crew made the
most of some ragged work by the Pel
ican Infield In the seventh, collecting
enough to win.
B. Smith's Lookouts hung up another
game, won nf the expense of the orphan Bresna Hens. The Quakers and Carda

Questions Answer'd
Jeff Overall Is not with the Cube at
present as stated In yesterday's Geor
gian, tbo Manager Chance has high
hopes of getting him back on th* team
soon. His baseball services are still the
property of the Chicago club, but thus
far this season he has been at Angels
Camp, where he.and M. Brown own a
mine. His only pitching this year has
been with the Angels Camp club. It
will not b* surprising, however, If h*
crops out as a Cub soon. —

FROCK WORKS
. TODAYS CAME
Big Right-Hander Will Try to
Smash Out of the Maiden
Class Against P.els.
New Orteane, June 14 It looks some
what as tbo the Crackers are going to
snatch three out of the four, and If they
do they will hars accompliehed a trick
that hasn't been pulled on tbs Pels In a
good while
will probably pitch for the Pell
Gulls. BUI Chappelle kalsomlned his
former teammates, and the mountaineer
scored a brace on errors by the Gull
battery and Infield.
Big Jim .Vaughn, the lanky Texas
ortslder on the pay roll of Manager
tarold Chaae, showed good form In the
game against Cleveland, and the Yanks
won by a wide margin. Vaughn .has
been unfit for service a greater part of
the season thus far, and his show of
form should help the chances of Chase’s
people.
Two of tho games In the National
circuit went Into extra chapters. It re
quired an even dosen Innings for the
Cubs to trim the lowly Bostonians. Mc-
Tlgue, a recruit pitcher, held the Bruins
to two runs and a tie for seven In
nings, when he was relieved by Pfefter.
Wilbur Good, secured by the Cubs In
the recent big trade with Boston, hit a
homer In th* tenth.
Pittsburg and Brooklyn drew the
other extra-inning affair. Schardt
nlng talley on NAp In the eleventh with
none down. A single by Flynn, a pasa
to Carey and Clarke's timely rap count
ed McKechnle, who ran for Flynn.
The Giants copped again, thereby
retaining the second position Just thir
teen points back of the Cubs. But the
Phillies were wrenched from their
mooring by a defeat at the hands of the
fought a mighty battle, seven pitchers
being called Into line In the fray.
The hitting of Rudy BSerwald was a
feature of the Memphla-Mnntgomery
game. The Bearcat smote a homer and
two singles out of five chances, and
stole one base besides. In Monday's
game the demon Dutchman hit safely
four times out of five, and likewise pil
fered one cushion,
Matty's Rabies climbed back Into sec
ond position In the pennant chaae on
Tuesday. They wrenched off a double-
header at the expense of Charleston,
while Macon was being walloped by
Columbia. Bull Durham, who pitched
a game for Nashville several days ago,
pitched the second game for Charles
ton and was touched up for twenty
blnglei.
In the game between, the Cardinals
and Phillies, a rather peculiar coinci
dence obtained. The Mound City dele
gation hit safe)/ thirteen times for a
total of twenty-alx basea, while the
Phillies stung the ball for eight hits for
twice that many basea. In each case
the average was a double.
New Orleans, La., June 14.—When the'
worm .finally turns, he has It all over
the ravening wolf for ferocity. Few
of us ever saw a real worm turn, but
many Pelican fans witnessed the turn
ing of the Atlanta club—a turning that
netted yesterday’s game 2 to 1, not to,
mention the ono of the day before,
which was copped, I to 3.
Two In a row from New Orleans was
more than the most wildly enthusiastic 1
Atlantan ever dared to hope. One In a
row was In Itself quite staggering
enough.
Johns was going good and so was the
Atlanta team In yesterday's game. It
was a toss-up whether the pitching or
the fielding was the more brilliant. The'
southpaw that used to stand the league
on Its.alabaster head In years past had
the Pelicans' pate downward moat of
the afternoon.
It would have been-ungracious for
any pitcher to have lost behind the
support that the Crackers gave Johns.'
They refused to let anything go un
challenged aa a hit. Wallop* that usu
ally net the Pelicans from one base to
three went for fly-outs to the outfield.
Zimmerman, the Dutch Streak, was
most notable of the fielders. He robbed
steadily, all the afternoon, grabbing
stuff that didn't belong to him—grab
bing It with both hands or with either.'
If Theo Brsltensteln'had hadjCrack-
er support, the situation .would have
been different. It took a grand bunch
ing of errors and loose plays In the sev
enth to put across the winning runs.
O'Dell, who has been the starter of
many lively things since he first joined
the Atlanta club, began It By bounding
one thru Klrke. Watson drilled one
toward the box that bounded off Brelt-
enateln and got thru Barr. The agile
Barr recovered It neatly, only to make
a punk throw to third, where he might
have retired CTDelt—but didn't. In the
meantime Watson had ambled to sec
ond. Britton then jammed one down
to the Infield that couldn't be handled
to the plate In time to get O’Dell—and
the first run was scored. Also Watson
had been able to get to third. From
there the big lad scored on Sykea’ fly
out. And the game waa won.
Johns let up a little In the last Inning
and for a time It appeared that the
Crackers might be beaten after all. A
couple of nice hits were made on which
a run was scored. And then Butcher
pushed one out that would have won
many a game. Zimmerman got under
It, however, stopping the Pelican rally
and ending the game.
The score:

Th* northern division did .not com*
back,
They went south and lost. Then the
south cams north and again the north
erners lost. The southern teams were
more than they could handle. The
near-equator clubs did almost as well
during their recent trip thru the north
as they did while the northern teams
were Invading the southern territory.
Montgomery and New Orleana were
the teams that did the nasty work on
the road, and by so doing have a com
fortable hold In their respective posi
tions.
The Birds did the best work. They
met with only four defeats while away
from home. The Crackers were not
able to do anything with the flock, but
this Is not unusual, as the Pelicans have
for the past three, or four seasons got
away with the Crackers at Ponce De
Leon.
I have worked up a few tables In re
gard to the playing of the northern and
southern teams during the Invasion just
conpleted.

Huntsville, Ala., June 14.—The di

and mapped out another shake-up In
the team. The rotten game of Mon
day, In which the Mountaineers had
the victory within, grasp until the last

tience. The directors came to the con
clusion that Manager. Horn has not
been strict enough In ms authority and
he was asked to resign. He resign'd
and asked for his release, which was
granted, and he left for his home
In Kentucky yesterday. Krear, who h;t<
