6 Double Steal Went Wrong or Crackers Would Have Copped CHATTANOOGA. TENN May 4. —It took twelve good in nings yesterday to < on vines the Crackers and Ixwkouts that they couldn’t po.-sihiy do any more •coring 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. Eor seven innings big Bill Chappelle had the Cracker* right where he wanted them. Up to that time the Atlantans hadn't even mails a hit. In the eighth, however, things be gan to happen. ‘J'Bricn. the vet eran who is now engaged in show ing the knockers that’he isn't all In yet, looked over four of t’happelle's wild ones and walked. Sykes sacri ficed him and .1. Kerr bounced one off Moran's toes for a two bagger. | THE BASEBALL CARD [ SOUTHERN LEAGUE. Games Today. Atlanta in Chattanooga New Orleans In Birmingham.

THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., ATLANTA, GA. OUTFIELDER GANLEY. I These two eleventh-hour pick up*. Boh Gan ley 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 m 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 +•+ T»*r 4**+ +•+ -r*-r Must Now Measure Strength With Teams of South By Percy H. XVhiting. THE Southern league -lubs have played about a sc< re of games each, and to what verdict? Just this: Thus far Mem phis and Chattannopa 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 has played Chatta nooga. Nashville and Memphis, all 'northern clubs, at home and abroad. It has yet to measure strength with the four clubs in the southern divi sion. The first intra-«ectlonal 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 t'hattanooga today it will tie the Smithies. Evidently, therefore, the Hemp hillites have not fared very badly at the hands of the northern divi sion clubs. Owing to the changes In lino-up and the lack of training that was ino,itable because of bad 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 trulls and blessed if they don't clean up with all the southern division won ders and lead the league. So they must he 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 theft- trip is over we can come a lot nearer than ever before tn answering that most iribrnentous of questions: "Where in Hlaz.es arc the Crack ers going to finish this year, any how?" Show your good taste! Insist on Red Pock Ginger Ale The very finest— and only 5 cents a glass or small hottie 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 J ' ' .... :. . . . . . . AN it be that we are going to have a race in the American league, after all? It surely looks it now. The Athletics. twice World's champions, don't look so dangerous, with Jack Coombs hurt. The Mack pitchers are certainly no wonders. If you leave "Iron Jack" out. Bon- * dor 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 aU but boat thorn to death. When Plank was called to the rescue ten runs had boon scored by the Yanks in the one. inning, which is more than they usually make in a w oek Comiskey has a scrapping, slug ging team at Chicago and it is go- , Ing some. It has a peppery man ager and a loF of “ambish.” The Red Sox are a considerably strengthened team this year, and that Rod 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 in luck of its athletic teams. Just as the ball team looked as tjiough It would be a Top-notcher. the best .pitcher on the staff falls 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 Kubanks and Hubert—with..a possibi.lil?" in Fielder. “FITZ” CHARGES BILLS WITH SIGNAL STEALING NEW ORLEANS, May 4. Accord ing to Umpire Fitzsimmons, somebodt in- the. grandstand during one of the recent Montgomery - New (drleans 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." "Guessfrig or not." said Fitzsimmons, ."they seem wbe 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 .'•ea eon." 'CHAT Bill Bernhard was hbout 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 bcfhre the season is out. though all Atlanta hopes not, for the Crackers never could beat him. Bill Bailey. - -fr>rmeT - Southei n leaguer;-also took part in a bad game, and he, top, 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 FRANCISCD, May 4. —How aid Morrow was given th ft decision over Jhek Fitzgerald in the main event of the Columbus club's show here las' 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 fourth had so much th° better of the gointe 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 arid Hemphill bad 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 ,wll> as an Apache in all. his games, thus far.
