BBT GAMEJSLDST MONTGOMERY, ALA. May 20. That it doesn’t pay a pitcher to get hits was brilliantly demonstrated here yes terday afternoon. Kellogg. Montgom ery’s erratic twirler, managed to get hits both times up. Once he got all the way around. Another time he got to the third station. Both times he had to run his blooming legs off. The result was that he was chased to a point of exhaustion and he weakened. As soon as he did the Cracker club got to him and he was on the run, full tilt, when Manager Dobbs extracted him from his dilemma and sent in the reliable Joey Bills to finish it out, Joey held the Crackers safe and as the local players found Palg? easy they rang up a vic tory, 9 to 4. The Billikens piled up enough runs in the first and second innings to win the game. After that they just breezed along and watched the heroic but en tirely futile efforts of the Crackers to deliver the goods. The hitting of the Billikens was amazing. Eleven hits were made out of 30 times at bat, and among them were one two-base hit. one three-base hit and a home run. Paige also put a home run to his credit. 'Piggy," O'Brien, East and Alperman made all the Crack er hits. Bailey. Giaham. Alperman and Ganley scored the runs. PAT DONAHUE, CATCHER. IS DUE HERE ON TUESDAY Pat Donahue, the new Cracker catch er. will report in Atlanta Tuesday aft ernoon. Manager Hemphill believes that he has a winner in this man and expects that he will strengthen the team. It is not improbable, however, that there may be more changes in the Cracker catching staff before it finally •hakes down to normal. Fitting Trusses ANY clerk can't fit a truss prop erly.

He tum bled big Carl Morris and his name Is Luther McCarthy. Sounds more like the name of a historian or a revivalist than a bruiser, doesn’t it? Anyhow. McCarthy is the "latest wheeze.” as the Britishers say. A fellow who was connected with the Morris-McCarthy disaster In some way sent telegrams—marked night press rates, collect —to several Western sporting editors, the con cluding sentence in the majority of the dispatches being "the name of Luther McCarthy will soon be a household word.” It is to wonder if Luther would not have it otherwise. So many things come to be known as house hold words—principally cleaning compounds, breakfast foods and fireless cookers—that it seems as though McCarthy’s threatened greatness should be suggested by some more Inspiring figure of speech. If we can not disentangle Luther from the merchandise in any other way, let us continue to play on a much twanged string and call him the newest thing in white hopes. McCarthy, if those who appear to know something about him have not been over-enthusiastic, may possibly fill a long-felt want. And the strange thing about it is that there are so many persons at wide apart points who claim the distinc tion of discovering McCarthy and steering him against the game of the ring. One of these we have tn San Francisco, one Douglas G. Hertz, who says he was known as D. G. Cox in the sporting world, and who avers that he saw fighting possi bilities in the newest hope before McCarthy himself even knew that he was destined to be a fighter. According to Cox, he saw M< - Earthy for the first .time when the latter was doing a weight-lifting act with some small show in a Mis souri town. "He nas such a splendidly devel oped specimen of humanity that T became interested in him.” said Cox. "T talked with him and ques tioned him as to his leanings to ward pugilism. He told me hr had had but one fight, and that he had won it. Being a boxer myself. I arranged to spar "with him at a gymnasium I frequented and I soon saw that he had the makings of a champion in him. "He Is barely twenty years old. stands six feet four and is as strong as a bear. He is without doubt the strongest man I ever set eyes on. and I do not believe it is possible for any one to knock him out. Ho had a few fight? while 1 was inter ested in him and won them easily. Then my business took me out of the country and I lost sight of him. I always felt that once he got prop erly started on a pugilistic career he would create a sensation. ''lt's my belief that he will beat every man he is sent against and become the champion of the world. 1 have an idea McCarthy has In dian blood in him. His father is a wealthy business man, but Luther, while he does not dissipate, always lived the life of a hobo, wandering from place to place." Jus: fancy. We used to ihink it added a zest to a champion's life story io know that he sprung from a boiler shop or bank desk, but « hat of a fellow who is a confirmed hobo, an itinerant cannon-ball toss er and who ha? Indian blood in him'.' The crowds along the vaude ville circuit will -ureli be crazt to ' r him If hr ever gets to the top of the tree. TFTE ATLANTA HFOPGIAN AND NPWSt MONDAY. MAY 20, 1912. Union of Ball Players Will Result From Cobb Row Baseball Trust Takes a Hot Fight on Its Hands By Pprey 11. Whiting. THE baseball trust will soon find itself opposed by a play - ers' union. No man can say what tlie ultimate and complete outcome of the Cobb rucus will be. But the thing that Is as certain as election day is that a union of the players must come. The players have needed a union for a long time. Os late they have had to de pend on tlie fairness of a few men. mostly rich, for everything—their "wage scale." the conditions of their contract, playing conditions, playing rules—everything. And you all know what chance the average citizen has at the hands of any small group of men, mostly rich. There is a baseball trust. It has been fairly run. in the main, and the players have received a rea sonably fair deal. As the years roll on, though, the players—if unpro tected —would slowly but surely get a little the worst of it each year until the baseball trust had them all where it wanted them. There is one way for the players to avoid this, and this is by the organization of a strong union. It can easily be done, and It will be done. Once unionized, the ball players could get anything they wanted that was within reason. For a strike of all players In organized ball would bring the magnates to time on the run. A baseball union will grow out of the Cobb incident, sure as fate. • * * f\F course, the popular way of treating this Cobb matter is to laud the Georgia lad for his act of jumping on a speculator and to make a great hero out of him. Sober consideration of the mat ter demonstrates that Cobb had re dress under the laws of baseball and those of the state of New York for the insults of the man he at tacked. And, heaven knows, as civ ilization advances we are getting further and further away from the good old fist-and-gun method of settling disagreements. On the other hand the provoca tion was great, and Cobb has never been one to hold himself in hand when the circumstances provoked him to anger. What does loom big. though, is that the baseball players are enti tled to better protection from the gibes and abuses of fans than they get. All states are doubtless pro vided with laws to punish those who use foul and abusive language. The arrest and prosecution of a few fans who overstep the bounds w ould do w orlds of good. BASEBALL Diamond News and Gossip The hardest thing about the Atlanta team to figure is the pitching staff There isn't a man on it who hasn’t pitched su perlatively good: and, alas.' superlatively poor, baseball Paige has done Home of the best work that the league has seen this year. Yet yesterday the Billikens fairly romped over him. * ♦ * A dispatch from Montgomery. narrat ing the happenings of yesterday’s game, stated that Kellogg “made two hits each time up." That was surely “some clout ing." The average player is satisfied to get one hit each lime up. Kellogg’s bai ting average on the. game must have been 2.000. • • • George Suggs outpitched Red Ames in Cincinnati yesterday and the Reds nosed McGraw's Giants out of first place in the National league chase. • • * Empire I’fenninger is another who doesn't mind changing his decisions. In a game at New Orleans yesterday, after • ailing Netzcr out on his attempt to steal home changed h»s mind, (ailed him safe and presented Mernphis with a thirtecn inning game. • • • Another t hirteen-inning game was played in the Southern, this one tn Mo bile. and it war won by the Gulls from I 'hattanooga, with ftemaree pitching In thirteen Innings Al allowed :> hits. Chap pelle pitched a good game for the Look |outa. Baseball has become great in America because it is a decent sport. Do you suppose it will stay great if the patrons are to expect now and then that a player wilt climb over into the stands and whale a spectator? Or that spec tators will be allowed to use foul language? If such things are to be. ladies will desert the game. And when their support is withdrawn baseball begins its decline. The solution of the trouble is for the ow ners of baseball teams to af ford the players protection from abusive spectators. This can be easily done. Such protection will go double- —it will protect fans and players alike from foul and pro fane language. It will remove from the players any excuse for attacks on patrons. The first time baseball sinks to the plane of prize fighting, wres tling and the like, its decline begins. It behooves not only baseball mag nates. who have their money tied up. but players as well, who have their livelihood involved, to see that the game is kept decent. Once it becomes a pastime too coarse to he worthy the patronage of ladles its decline begins. • • • pOLLEGE boys used to have pleasant little ways with each other a few years ago. A bunch from one college would go to an other college to witness a game. They went always prepared for a fight and usually they got it. At the very best, the supporters of the opposing teams would burl billings gate and assorted vituperation at each other. Usually they took tlie thing in earnest, though, and hurled bricks, rocks, hotties and such. Free fights were a regular occur rence. This Isn'l an exaggeration. It hardly puts the situation strong enough. Gradually there has been a change in sentiment and a desire lias sprung up to treat visitors from other colleges as guests. This change was well shown in the re cent Tech-Georgia series. Through the great work of the athletic au thorities and the alumni of both colleges, with occasionally some help from tlie newspapers, the best, kind of feeling has been developed. This was particularly apparent when the big delegation of Tech men went to Athens Saturday. They w ere most royally entertained and most courteously treated. When, after the third straight defeat of the Jackets, the Tech band and the Georgia band marched shoulder to shoulder through the streets of Athens, lead ing a parade of Tech rooters, who Crackers* Batting Averages, Including Yesterday’s Game This is the way the Crackers are hit- ; ting through yesterday s game: PLAYERS, IG.
