We are about ready to admit that the Cracker staff is
weak, tho we are not inclined to blame Manager Jordan or
the baseball association for that weakness. What appeared to
be a corking good staff isn’t pitching good ball.
We have no explanation. It just isn’t, and thijt ends it.
Whether the present staff will get going or riot is hard to
tell. There doesn’t appear to be a man on the staff who could
be waived out of the league, for they all look strong. And yet
they can’t win.
It will puzzle Manager Jordan no little to know whether
to let some of them go right away or to rack along a bit fur
ther in the hope that they will “come around.”
Another weakness of the Cracker team is hitting. _ The
local club isn’t taking advantage of the cork-stuffcd pill as
other teams arc. This is hard to explain, too. The team is
made up of men who have hit for other clubs. And some of
them are walloping all right this year. But the tenm average
doesn’t stack up very strong.
We can’t figure Manager Jordan’s position as an envia
ble one. His team as it stands isn’t suffering from any “one-
weak-spot” complaint. It seems to be an all-round slump by a
team of good players.
This drop doesn’t seem to be the result of any internal dis
sensions.
It can’t be credited to bad luck, for the team hasn’t had
enough to be anything out of the ordinary.
So how do you explain it f

Gasoline Tanks Explode and Aviators Are Burned to Death.
This baseball situation is netting—is getting—well, noth
ing short of profanity will express it, and we always stop short
of that, while writing.
If ever a team in baseball looked strong and played feebly,
it is that very Atlanta club.
The pitchers figured out mighty strong. Frock and Foxen
looked like the very best of hurlers. They were good men in
the big leagues, and apparently should have copped with grand
regularity in the Southern.
Foxen has won games now and again, but he is no steady ■
winner. A couple he has won should go to the credit of luck
anij not Foxen.
Frock absolutely can’t win one. If it were not for evi
dence thnt tends to contradict the theory that he is playing
for his release, we should believe it ourselves. But if it is true,
as reported, that he has leased a house in Atlanta for the sum
mer and paid for it in advance, the “playing-for-his-rclease”
theory seems a poor one. _ l
Frock and Foxen cost good money, and in their day were
good men in the big leagues. But now—well, you know.
The two men. on the pitching staff who came from smaller
leagues are Miller and Britton. Miller is a pretty steady win
ner. He kicks very vigorously about the Southern climate,
but he cops many of his games. Britton is not having equally
good lurl*-' At the start he looked like the season’s find. But
he 1s. riot wiilnmg .B's any as he should.
Johns is plugging along and pitching very good ball.
Liege, Belgium, June 19.—The aviators who have successfully covered the first 3tago of the greatest avia
tion contest the world has witnessed were hailed as heroes here today.
At noon 16 of the 48 who left the Vincennes military field, near Paris, Sunday, had announced their arrival
to the officials of the course and were preparing for the start on tho second leg. from here to Utrecht, Holland.
All those arriving reported terrific winds near Rhelms. The gale -wrecked several machines, which had reach
ed that point from Paris.
Charles T. Weymann, the only American In the contest, told a thrilling story of the dangers wnlch had be
set the airmen at Rhelms. Those who passed Rhelms flew by the plain* of Bethany, where the first International
aviation tournament was held.
“It was necessary to mount far above the clouds and direct our flight by compass,” said Weymann. "Danger
ous whirlwinds, the like of which I had never felt before, threatened destruction. They rose up In swlftly'gyratlup
eddies which made it necessary to get out vt their range. In order to do rhls we had to ascend to such a height
that the earth below was rendered Invisible by the clouds. It was very cold, but far safer than the winds farther
down.”
Five of the contestants arrived within, less than half an hour. They were Amerigo, Bathlst, Gilbert, Verrlpt
and Klmmerling.
Verrlpt. a Dutch aviator, saw from a distance the disaster that caused the death of Lennnrd.
"I did not know who It was that met with the disaster until I arrived here." he said, "but I saw the aero
plane fall like a blasting meteor. It was after I had passed Calls-Thlery. I heard a sharp explosion and saw
the machine outlined by the. flames that followed. Then It dashed to the earth.
"I headed my aeroplane In that direction, but Just then I lost control of my motor and by the time I had right
ed the aeroplane I had lost sight of the flames. Believing that if the aeroplane were no longer burning It would
be impossible for me to find it, I proceeded toward Liege.
"Poor Lennard. He told me that if he did win one of the prizes he would retire from the sport.”
All the aviators arriving today report that they were delayed by the treacherous wind and had to halt at va
rious times.
Such Contests Will Not Be Tolerated
AVIATION COSTS LIVES
Ndw York, June 19.—Records of aviation disasters inaugurated by the
death of Lieutenant T. E. Selfridge. U. S. A., at Fort Myer, Va., on Sep
tember 17, 1908, show' that up to today 61 persons have lost their lives as a
direct result of many attempts ito conquer the air. The daring French
aviators have been the worst sufferers.
The deaths by nationalities have been as follows: France, 24; Ger
many, 11; Italy. 8; United States. 6; England. 3; Spain, 2; Austria, 2; Bel
gium. 2; Holland, 1; Servla. 1; China, 1.
JORDAN IS IN ATLANTA;
IS AFTER ONE PITCHER
Manager Otto Jordan Is In Atlanta.
He took advantage of the off day to
visit headquarters and to talk over the
situation.
Primarily he is after a pitcher. For
the present he plans to pitch only
Foxen, Johns and Miller, using Brit
ton and Frock In double-headers and
for relief pitchers. And the first second
a good pitcher shows up he will be
bought.
Jordan's Injury proves to be a mis
placed boll. It has been lanced, is
healing well and Otto will be back In
the game In a couple of days.

’Even tho happy-go-lucky French
men have been shocked by the terrible
toll of death exacted.
Aviator LeMartln, who was crushed
to death when his machine went wrong
Immediately after the start and crashed
to earth with him, had become the hero
of the masses by his daring aerial
work, while Captain Princetau was the
premier aviator of the army and for
his work In that branch had won his
promotion from a lieutenancy on the
very day that he was killed. His re
mains. charred from the flames that
burned him to death when hl« motor
exploded and covered him with biasing
gasoline, lay under guard of six chas
seurs today, while a French flag cover
ed his unrecognizable body. He was
given a state funeral. While he waj
not a competitor in the race from Lon
don and return, he had nevertheless
taken this opportunity to work ruit
some scouting problems that was ex
pected to prove of benefit to the French*
army.
Aviator Lendron, who was also
burned to death when his reservoir ex
ploded, was not so well known as the
other two aviators. #
Tho fully a dozen of those who start
ed suffered Injuries of one kind or an
other on the first lap of the race, the
only one who may be fatally hurt is ex-
Lleutenant Gaubcrt, who entered under
the name of Dalger He fell when not
more than 60 miles from Parts and Is
lying unconscious in a farm house.
Among the others Injured more or less
seriously are Aviators BlUe, Lorldan,
Oscar Morlaon and Morin.

Montgomery, Ala., Juns 19.—The

Montgomery this afternoon will not bo

decided yesterday. When the original
schedule was mode out this spring It
was not known that Montgomery could

And today’s game was one of the bor

The Crackers, didn't help themselves

of tho two games played at Birming
ham Saturday afternoon, but lost tho
Sunday game In Montgomery. Tho
scores were: Atlanta 5, Birmingham 3;
Birmingham 1, Atlanta 0; Montgomery
10, Atlanta 8.
Montgomery, Ala., June 19.—In
game enlivened by hard hitting and
rough ‘rows, the Crackers met defeat
before a large crowd hero yesterday by
a score of 1.0 to 3.
Britton and Frock wero Atlanta's
pitchers, and both met with harsh
treatment. After the Billlkens hud
made 5 runs off Britton the former big
leaguer waa sent In and he stopped the
rally that caused Arlington Albert's
retirement. However, the Billlkens soon
began to operate on him and the only
reason why he wasn't knocked out of
the box was that the game was too far
gone when the time came to make re
placing him worth while.
The real show was a fight between
Umpire Byron and Manager John
Dobbs. The local team was right on
the umpire's heels all the way thru and
finally, after Byron had put Graham
out, Dobbs ran amuck, and Jostled tho
unfortunate umpa all about the dia
mond. It seems pretty likely that he
would have walloped Byron If the play
ers hnd not Interfered.
Both the umpire and the manager
were arrested, but the former was al
lowed to continue his duties until tho
end qf the game.
Lellvelt had the game his way from
the start. The Crackers bothered him
a couple of times, but never seriously.
