Frank Dessau Comes to Life and Crackers Win -r»-r +••!• +•+ •!••<• +•4’ Contest Is Full of Errors, Fires, Fits and Fun By Percy H. Whiting. THERE’S nothing that cheers up a ball game like variety, and nothing, except a variety show, that usually has less. You can go to ball games sometimes for years without seeing anything but hits, runs, errors, great plays and occasionally a free fight. But yesterday’s ball game had stuff to it. It had more side is sues than a politician has grafts. For one thing a fat man fell down a flight of stairs. Now there isn't anything put on In vaudeville that’s any funnier than a fat man skid ding down a flight of steps. Fran cis Wilson has used it in a half dozen shows, and he’s only mod erately plump. Then there was a fire. It broke out in the bleachers and snapped and crackled like blazes, until the fat man got to it. The fire sort of led up to the fat man incident. When the blaze broke the fat man grabbed a fire extinguisher around the waist and rolled down the stairs with it. He said he always went to a fire that way. Also he put It out. Somewhat previous to that one of the official Purveyors of Pop. one of’the khaki-coated ones, chucked a fit of some subtle sort. And like an.v*small boy who pulls anything sensational he pulled it on the top row of the bleachers. It wasn’t the ideal place for a fit and so the boy bumped down, row after row, un til he got to the bottom, where he BILLIKENS ARE NOT FOR SALE; NOT CHEAP ANYHOW MONTGOMERY, ALA.. May 21. President Charles B. Jones, of the Montgomery Baseball association, de clares that there is no truth in the reports that a deal is being negotiated to dispose of the Montgomery fran chise to Nashville, thereby letting the Nashville franchise shift to Little Rock. He says that the Montgomery Baseball association is not going to sell the Bil liken franchise to anybody, and that Montgomery fandom may rest assured of that. Long before this year’s Southern league season began, there were ru mors of a probable disposal of the Montgomery franchise, but the owners of the local club have denied tha.t any thing tangible was in sight, although Richard Tillis, who controls the ma jority of the stock, admitted at one time that he would take 120,000 for the franchise. PAIGE INELIGIBLE FOR 10 DAYS; AFTER THAT? Piggy Paige. Atlanta pitcher, has taken the place on the Crackers’ in eligible list Just vacated by Frank Des sau. Paige is out of condition and Manager Hemphill hopes that he will be able to get in trim in the ten days allowed. If he does not he will be sold or released. If he does Manager Hemphill will try to get the unanimous consent of the league for his reinstate ment. JORDAN IN ATLANTA TO REST UP HURT SHOULDER Otto Jordan, Chattanooga captain and second baseman, is in Atlanta for a short visit.

He wasn’t much hurt and will resume the purveying of pop this after noon • • • /"x H, yes. and there was a ball game, a rip-snorting affair that the Crackers won 5 to 1. It was a good game, even if the errors were painfully plentiful. For one thing It was fast. There was no foolishness and no procras tination about it. The men just played along and from umpire’s an nouncement to last out it consumed only 94 minutes. Before it was over J. Dobbs doubtless regretted that he ever let the Montgomery club vote to re instate Frank Dessau. A couple of weeks ago Dessau’s arm popped. Frank didn't know what was the matter with it, except that when he tried to curve a ball the blam ed thing wouldn’t curve and the arm hurt like a toothache. So he came back to Atlanta and his re tirement to the ineligible list was announced. Then followed X-ray examinations, plain examinations and fancy examinations. After a bit the arm began to come around and President Callaway asked the league for unanimous consent to reinstate Dessau. It was given and the man was put back in good standing. Dessau celebrated his return by pitching a great game of baseball. In the first six innings he allowed but a single hit—a single single, TIMERS’ WATCHES MUST HAVE NEEDED MENDING! GAINESVILLE, GA., May 21.—1 n the field day exercises of Riverside Mili tary academy yesterday afternoon at Brenau park the 109-yard dash was run in the brief time of 9 seconds, bor dering if not equaling a world record. This race was won by Senior Mitchell. The time of the Junior 100-yard dash was 13 seconds and was won by Cadet Holloman. PAT DONAHUE ARRIVES: CATCHER KERR DEPARTS Catcher Donahue, the new Cracker backstopper, has arrived in Atlanta.

Then in the last of the sixth the Crackers romped away with the decision and after that, like the wise old head that he is, he let up and put just enough on his delivery to stick ahead. It was an impressive game. If Dessau • can keep up work like that he will be the most effective pitcher In the league. ■ • a [F the Billikens weren't so ex -1 tensively turned up at the far end in feet they would prob ably score more runs. They run to feet more than any ball club that has played in these parts in years. Ganzig’s extremities are wonderful to behold, and a full sized calf Is killed every time a shoe is made for him,. Don't miss ’em if you go to the park today. There were several occasions when a little hot-footing might have been useful, especially in the ninth inning when it took three clean singles and a sacrifice fly to score one man. This man was "Humpty” McElveen. "Mack” sin gled, went to second on Elwert’s single, to third on Ganzig’s single and home on Coles’ fly out to Bailey. There is something wrong with base running like that. ♦ • ♦ 'THE Crackers won their game by plastering three hits on top of three Billiken errors in the sixth inning. Alperman, Gra ham and Dessau did the hitting. Coles. Bills and Elwert contributed the errors. Ganiev, Hemphill, Al perman, O’Brien and Graham scored the runs. It was a fine in ning and when it was over the game was cinched. The affair was a satisfactory game to Atlanta fans. The team made errors, but it was a ball club every minute. The players took advantage of all opportunities on the bases, hit in the pinches and played a strong defensive game. Alperman was the only infielder who escaped an error, but none of the bobbles hurt a bit. Alperman distinguished himself by stopping with his shins a batted ball that was coming for to carry his legs clear away. The average infielder would have fled to shelter, but Whitey whirled right into it. took the ball full on the shins and then didn’t even wince. NEWS FROM RINGSIDE!
