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. SOUTHERN LEAGUE. Games Today. Birmingham in Memphis Mobile in Atlanta. Nashville in Montgomery.

And as he galloped Hie Mobile players gathered and ihe ball was tossed back and forth. Now the scoring rules require that each man who handles a ball on which a put-out is made must get an assist. Ordinarily it is easy to get the assists properly al lotted. for an experienced scorer jots them down as they are made However, as this is the first time Mobile has ever played in Atlanta, as most of the jjlayets are new here and as the press box is a long ways from the line between first and second. considerable contusion arose over Hie question of who in the dickens had handled the ball anyhow during the progress of the run-down. It took the arbitra tion commission of the press box at least five minutes of careful fig uring io decide who had been In the play and then Ihe award was made on the liberal basis of giving everybody an assist on general principles.
