With Johns Going Great Guns Crackers “Romp”
East’s Hits and Alperman’s Runs Decide Game
By Percy IL Whiting,
rp 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 (to
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 first
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 after
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 he went out after it. From
that time on neither the miscues of
his teammates nor his own mis
takes made any difference. He just
plugged along ami refused point
blank to let another Gull fly home
w a rd.
Johns was not without assistance
in an offensive line. In the sec
ond the Flackers 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, who plays
left field for Mike Finn's team.
Alperman, who scored the tieing
run in lhe second, scored the win
ning tally in the sixth.
, Hemphill opened that inning with
a single, Alperman forced him at
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 inflold
veterans, Alperman and East, did
much of the damage. East's first
hit drove home the run that tied
it. His second sent home the tally
that won.
MIKE FINN has brought quite a
ball club with him to Atlanta.
He calls it his Congress of the Na
tions. It numbers Irishmen. Ger
mans, Americans. Swedes. Arkan
sawans. Italians. Scandana vians
and Welshmen. And Mike himself,
as is well known is French.
It is a tolerably useful ball club,
too. 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 awful whacker and a com
ing player. Paulette, the new first
baseman, was a high school hoy In
Little Rock a year ago this spring.
Finn sent him to the Giants, where
he stuck until the other dfcy. He
looks so good the Giants still have
a string tied to him. He has just
taken Rohe's place at first and
seems likely to be a big success.
Os course the big man of the Mo
bile club is Al Demaree. When
Johnhy Dobbs introduced the man
to the league he said: "Now watch
this fellow. He doesn’t look like
a pitcher. 1 don’t care a hang for
his. form. But he's a pitcher. And
he’ll set this league ablaze."
It took a good while for Dobbs’
prediction to come true, but it has
come at last. Demaree is the best
pitcher in the Southern. And it
isn’t all luck either.
Said Umpire Fitzsimmons yes
terday. ’Don't let Demaree sur
prise you. for Im reallv has the
stuff. I was amazed the first time
I 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
hurls as though he were 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 the 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
ball player he pretends he was try
ing to steal second anyhow and is
tagged out at the bag.
But Hempbill, as has been as
severated previously, is elusive. He
objects to being pinned down.

whether it is for an interview or

down the line. And as he galloped
the Mobile players gathered and
the 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 players are new here
and as the press box is a long ways
from the line between first and
second, considerable confusion
arose over the 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 to decide who had been in
the play and then the award was
made on the liberal basis of giving
everybody an assist on general
principles. And all because of the
amazing elusiveness of Hemphill.
