Double Steal Went Wrong or Crackers Would Have Copped CHATTANOOGA, TENN., May 4.—lt took twelve good in nings yesterday to convince the Crackers and Lookouts that they couldn't possibly do any more scoring before midnight, and when the twelfth came, with the tally 1 to 1, Umpire O'Toole called the contest on account of darkness. It was one of the toughest con tests ever seen on local soil. For seven innings big Rill Chappelle had the Crackers right where he wanted them. Up to that time the Atlantans hadn't even made a hit. In the eighth, however, things be gan to happen. O’Brien, the vet eran who is now engaged in show ing the knockers that he isn't all in yet, looked over four of Chappelle's wild ones and walked. Sykes sacri ficed him and J Kerr bounted one off Moran’s toes for a two bagger. THE BASEBALL CARD SOUTHERN LEAGUE. Games Today. Atlanta in Chattanooga. New Orleans in Birmingham.

A double steal that went wrong in the ninth cost the Crackers the game. Ganley was walked and Hemphill bunted safe. Alperman popped and then Ganley and Hemphill got away for a double steal. Dunn and Evans played it nicely and Ganley was nipped by about an inch. As East was passed and as O'Brien hit safe after that Ganley would have scored If he had not attempted the double steal. However, it was good baseball at that, even if it did not produce. The Crackers continued to threat en through the game, but Chappells could always pul! them up short when danger really threatened, and there wasn’t much kicking when the umpires declared it too dark for further play.

BLOOD HUMORS Every pore and gland of the skin is employed in the necessary work of preserving its smooth, even texture, softening and cleansing it. and regulat-” ing the temperature of our bodies. This is done by an evaporation through each tiny outlet, which goes on continually day and night. When the blood becomes infected with humors and acids a certain percentage of these impurities also pass off with the natural evaporation, and their sour, fiery nature irritates and inflames the skin, and dries up its natural oils, causing pimples, boils, pustules or some itching rash, or hard, scaly skin affection. S S. S. cures skin troubles of every kind by neutralizing the acids and removing the humors from the blood. S. S. S. cools the acid-heated circu lation, builds it up to its normal strength and thickness, multiplies its nutritious, red corpuscles, and enriches it in every way. Then the skin. Instead of being irritated and diseased by the exudihg acrid matter, is nourished, soothed and softened by this cooling, healthy stream of blood. S. 8. S., the greatest of blood purifiers, expels all foreign matter and surely pures Eczema, Acne, Tetter, Salt Rheum and all other diseases and affections of the skin.

THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., ATLANTA, GA. /// / // _JbF OUTFIELDER GANLEY. These two eleventh-hour pick ups, Bob Ganley and Kid Graham, seem likely to stick longer on the Cracker club than some of those who were making a loud noise through the training season. Gan ley is a good hitter, a good fielder and a tremendous worker. Graham is a youngster and he got away poorly in his first game. It is like ly that he will be held, however, as J. Kerr will do most of the catching, anyhow. Cracker Club Only Three Games Behind Leaders •{•••J* •*•••!• Must Now Measure Strength With Teams of South By Percy H. Whiting. THE Southern 1 league clubs have played about a score , of games each, and to wh°at verdict? Just this: Thus far Mem phis and Chattanooga have proved themselves the stronger teams in the northern division of the South ern league; Mobile and Birming ham have proved themselves the stronger teams of the southern di vision. Under the workings of the pres ent schedule the first batch ' of games are played by each team in their own division. You will recall that Atlanta ha£ played Chatta nooga, Nashville and Memphis, al! northern clubs, at home and abroad. It has yet to measure strength with the four clubs in the southern divi sion. The first intra-sectional series is ending. We’re off Sunday on the first Inter-sectional. Watch for the fur to fly then! While Atlanta, stands third best among the northern division clubs, it has an even break to its credit thus far. It is only three full games behind the leaders. It is less than one full game behind Birmingham. If it wins from Chattanooga today it will tie the Smithies. Evidently, therefore, the Hemp hlllites have not fared very badly at the hands of the northern divi sion clubs. Owing to the changes in line-up and the lack of training that was Inevitable because oi ba'd weather, the Crackers naturally made a bad start. They are going again now, and if they had nothing worse to tackle than, the northern division clubs they would soon be out in front. But all the dopesters, however, agreed before the season started that three of the southern division clubs were due for first division po sitions. They were Birmingham. Montgomery and New Orleans. And then along come the despised Gulls and blessed if they don’t clean up with all the southern division won ders and lead the league. So they must be tolerably strong them selves. It is into this tough southern di vision that Hemphill will pilot his men after today’s battle. For a couple of weeks the Crackers will prowl through the *Far South. When their trip is over we can corn® a l ot nearer than ever before to answering that most momentous of questions: 'Where in blazes are the Crack ers going to finish this year, any how?” Sh ow your good taste! Insist on Bepßock JUEZ2ZVJLSEZE2Z3R9 Ginger Ale The very finest and only 5 cents a glass or small bottle at founts and stores. Also in pints and quarts. Yes, we make that good LEMO-LIME you get at the ball park and all stands it be that w’e are going to have a race in the American league, after all? It surely*looks it now. The A.thletics, twice world’s champions, don't look so dangerous, with Jack Ceombs hurt. The Mack pitchers a r e certainly no wonders, if you leave “Iron Jack” out. Ben der is not in trim and Plank is aging. What is likely to happen to Mack's youngsters was demon strated yesterday, when the feeble Yanks hopped on them in the ninth inning and all but beat them: to death. When Plank was called to the rescue ten runs had been scored by the Yanks, in the one Inning, which is more than they usually make in a week. Comiskey has a scrapping, slug ging team at Chicago and it is go ing some. It has a peppery man ager and a lot of “ambish." The Red Sox are a considerably strengthened team this year, and that Red Sox outfield is a wonder. Also the Detroit team, now in the depths, isn't likely to stay there long. So look out. for a battle this season in Ban Johnson’s league. DRAKE, TECH'S HURLER. IS SICK. AND GOES HOME Tech must have been the thirteenth college started in Georgia, Judged by the ill luck of its athletic teams. Just as the ball team looked as though it would be a top-notcher, the beSjt pitcher on the staff faits sick and has to quit school. Drake, the boy from Griffin, has left Tech and will hardly be seen In a Tech uniform again. Drake has been ailing since the Se wanee trip, but he is all in now. This leaves only two regular pitch ers to fight Georgia with —Eubanks and Hubert—with a possibility in Fielder. “FITZ” CHARGES BILLS WITH SIGNAL STEALING NEW ORLEANS, May 4.—Accord ing to Umpire Fitzsimmons, somebody In the grandstand during one of the recent Montgomery-New Orleans games was tipping off the signals of Catcher Knaupp to the Billiken bats men. Fitzsimmons notified Manager Frank that something was wrong, but the Pelican manager ridiculed the sug. gestion, adding: “They must be guessing.” “Guessing or not," said Fitzsimmons, “they seem to be getting them right. This thing should not be tolerated, for it isn't fair to a team. Let the bats men try to hit the ball without any outside aid, for the pitchers seem to have something on the hitters this sea son.” •that Bill Bernhard was about right in saying that Otto Hess was too old to fool with any doings in the big leagues was pretty well demonstrated yesterday. The husky southpaw who pitched the Pelicans to victory so often last year worked for Boston against Brooklyn. For seven innings he was invincible. But in the last two the Dodgers smeared things all over him. Thir teen tallies were made In the two innings. It is likely that Hess will find his way back to New Orleans before the season Is out., though al! Atlanta hopes not. for the Crackers never could beat him. Bill Bailey, former Southern leaguer, also took part in a bad game, - and he. too, is* probably due for a release. I’ll tell you one guy who will probably hang on a bit longer. He is Walter Johnson, of the Senators. He has long been the wonder of baseball, but he seems even a little better this year than he used to be. Any club that gets three hits off him this season is going mighty strong, and more than one run off him is almost equal in honor to winning a world's championship. HOWARD MORROW EARNS AWARD OVER. FITZGERALD SAN FRANCISCO, May 4.—Howard Morrow was given the decision over Jack Fitzgerald in the main event of the Columbus club's show here last night. The Chicago middleweight still feels surprise today from a jarring blow that sent him to the floor in the second round. Morrow evened up by flooring Fitzgerald in the third, round, and in the foui th had so much the better of the going that Referee Toby Irwin had no hesitation in giving him the verdict. MILLER. IN POOR TRIM. TO BE RELEASED SOON CHATTANOOGA. TENN.. May 4. Doggy Miller is shortly to be released by the Crackers. Miller and Hemphill had a lively conversation this morn ing, and there appears to be some feel ing between them. Miller was the Crackers’ best pitch er last year, but he has not been in good trim this year and has been ,wili as an Apache in all his games thus far. HARRY BALENTI SIGNS WITH ASHEVILLE TEAM CHATTANOOGA, TENN., May 4. Harry Balenti. brother of Mike Ba lenti, of the local club, signed today with Asheville, tn the Appalachian league.
