With Johns Going Great Guns Crackers “Romp”'
East's Hits and Alperman's Runs Decide Game
By Percy IL Whiting.
rir HAT a pitcher isn’t the whole
I defensive strength of a ball
club was demonstrated in
Tuesday's game when, despite he-*
roic pitching by ’ Tommy Atkins,
his teammates errored the game
away.
But that the pitcher is" a tre
mendously important part of the
team’s defensive strength was
shown with equal brilliancy and a
much more satisfactory score <io
wit: Atlanta 3. Mobile 1) in yes
terday’s game. For Harry Johns
just naturally refused to let the
Crackers lose it. though they made
several passes in that direction.
Centerfielder Maloney, the fits!
man who faced Johns in the first
inning, was safe on a hit. Then
came an error on the next ball hit
and Maloney went on to third. The
next play was a sacrifice fly and
Maloney scored. If it had not been
for the error Maloney would never
have passed first base. For aftei
the fly-out the next two men were
fanned.
Evidently Johns realized that the
only way to win a game was to win
it single-handed, and with good
courage lie went out aftet it. From
thtit time on neither the miscues of
his teammates nor his own mis
tal-ies_.made any difference. He just
plugged along and refused point
blank io let another Gull fly home
ward.
Johns was not without assistance
in an offensive line. In the sec
ond the Cracl&rs tied it up with
hits by Alperman and East and a
sacrifice by O’Dell, not to mention
an error by "Baby Doll" Jacob
son. the gigantic Swede, w ho plays
loft field for Mike Finn’s team.
Alperman. who scored the tieing
run in the second, scored the win
ning tally in the sixth.
Hemphill opened that inning with
a single, Alperman forced him al
second. Singles by O’Dell and
East did the trick. A base on balls
and a sacrifice fly sent O’Dell home
and ended the scoring
It will be noted that the infield
. veterans. Alperman and East, did
much of the damage. East's fiist
bit drove home the run that tied
it. His second sent home the tally
that won
• • •
j IKE FINN has brought quite a
Al ball club with hinW to Atlanta.
He calls it his Congress of the Na
tions. It numbers Irishmen. Gei -
mans. Americans. Swedes. Arkan
sawans, Italians, Scandanavians
and Welshmen. And Mike himself
as is well knownftg French.
It is a tolerably useful ball club,
100. Dunn and Starr are a couple
of wise heads, and the latter is a
particularly useful man. "Baby
Doll" Jacobson is a young giant,
but an aw fill whacker and a com
ing player. Paulette, the new first
baseman. was a high school boy in
Little Rock a .'ear ago this spring.
Fin'n sent him to Hie Giants, whee
he stuck until the other day. Hr
looks so good the Giants still have
a string tied to him. He has just
taken Rohe’s place at first and
I seems likely to be a big success.
Os course the big man of the Mo
bile club is Al Demaree. When
Johnny Dobbs introduced the man
to the league he said: '"Now watch
this fellow. He doesn’t look like
a pitcher. I don’t care a hang foi
his form. But he’s a pitcher. And
he’ll set this league ablaze,"
It took a good while for Dobbs'
piedietion to come true, but it lias
■ »nie at las’. Demaree is the besi
pitcher in Hie Southern. And i>,
isn’t all luck either.
Said Empire I’itzsimmons yes
n-rrj.i' . "Don't let Demaree sir.-
jri-r i'.'i, foi lie i"nlh has the
stuff. I was amazed the first time
1 worked behind him this year.
He has a fast ball that fairly
climbs. He has good curves, too.
and nothing but nerve."
Demaree surely doesn't look the
big pitcher of the league. That
queer motion that J. Dobbs apolo
gized for the first year Al played
in the Southern is still there. He
hut'ls as though he wen- muscle
bound. But there is no discounting
his efficiency. He's there
Manager hemphill is an
elusive person and this elusive
ness has been a source of some
trouble to th? newspaper men of
Atlanta. The complaint took a new
turn yesterday. In the first inning
• of the game Hemphill was caught
off first on a snap from the pitcher
When this happens to the usual
hall player he pretends he was try'-
ing to steal second anyhow and is
tagged out at the bag.
But Hemphill, as has been as
severated previously, is elusive. He
objects to being pinned down.

anyhow during the progress of the
