Whiting. WELL, the Atlanta pitching staff will not do. The sad truth has come over Manager Hemphill. He has given the men every chance. He has backed them up with a team that fields fairly well and that hits like a heavyweight. But they don't win games. If the Cracker pitchers had hurled as well as the Cracker play ers have batted, the Crackers would be out In front, with a four or five game lead. Nobody at baseball headquarters or elsewhere will mention the word "pitcher" above a whisper. Rul they are hunting for two or maybe three -that’s a cinch; and they’re hunting hard. Whether the Crackers are also looking for an infielder—specifical ly a shortstop—or not remains to be demonstrated. They will not THE BASEBALL CARD SOUTHERN LEAGUE. Games Today.

Before Pete O’Brien left At lanta he said: "1 think too much of Charley Hemphill ever to em barrass him by having to tire me. If I find that I can’t get in the sort of shape that I know he wants he'll never be troubled. I’ll resign and quit." And knowing O'Brien and his sincerity and native, inborn sense, we believe he’ll do It. The show-down in the O'Btien case is coming soon. If Pete is ever to get right it is nearly time. The season is more than a month old. It is true the weather has been bad, but there Isn't any promise held out that It is ever going to be much better. And surely the Crackers need a man in that short field who can stop a majority of the balls sent his wav. It’s a private suspicion of ours that O'Brien's days are numbered. INTERNATIONAL LEAGUE.

Hemphill knows what he wants in the way of infielders. He knows that O'Brien will fill the bill if he gets right. Rut It is doubtless being ground in on him thatnPete isn't going to get right in time to do much good. ... 'J' HE fans who are howling at Charley Hemphill because his team is not now standing one-two three in the pennant race should remember the lamentable ease of "Humpty-Dumpty” and that “all the king's horses and all the king's men" would have their troubles making a pennant winner out of a tail-ender. Folks can talk all they want about the hideous difficulty of unscrambling eggs, but It Isn’t a circumstance to unscrambling a ball club. Otto Jordan succeeded in- thoroughly scrambling the Cracker club, and in that condition it was tinned over to Charley Hemphill with the orders that he make a pennant winner out of it. Up in the big league they figure they are lucky if they take a broken down ball club and make a winner out of it in five years. Yet the competition is just as fierce for players in the Southern as in the big league. So there is no reason to expect much faster action down here. Look at what Charley Hemphill has had to do. He’has had to make a new catching staff, from the ground up. He still holds two mem bers of last year's infield, but he's blessed if he knows what to do with them. He has made a new outfield and he’s experimenting with his pitching staff and may make a new one before he is through with it. Surely it would take marvellous luck to develop a new club from nothing at all and get it up "in the pictures" in the first month of the season. Hemphill can hardly be blamed for not accomplishing that miracle. • • • E are all very much exer cised over the tragic plight of Jack George Jones. According to the pitiful tale, published in some Southern newspapers. Jack is ■an inlander hailing from Garrett. Ind., who "hasn’t long to live" - so he writes (and it may be true). But he's a great baseball fan so "please semi him one copy of each paper printed in your berg and send his pitiful story on to five other towns"—the old endless chain gag, you will perceive. You know how it would work out. By the lime the thing had multi plied eight times. Jack George Jones would be getting close to two million papers at a pop. Now. a good husky paper, in the wrapper, will weigh about 6 ounces. So the postoffke at Garrett. Ind., would be handling some 326 tons of pa pers a day. Our suspicion is that Jack George Jones is playing a trick on the postmaster of Gar 1 ett. Ind. iREMEDYFORMENi MOREY TO LOAD ON □IAMON3S AND JEWELRY S t r i c t iy confidential.
