May 23.—After a brief and stormy career, the new- United Stales league of baseball clubs is re ported to be perilously near the rocks. A break has been expected at Cleveland for some time and today word was re ceived from that city that the Forest City Ball and Amusement Company had surrendered its franchise. THE .ATLAVTV A XT) XTATSt THURSDAY. MAY 23. 1912. 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. r RACING ENTRIES 1 I ELECTRIC PARK ENTRIES. ELECTRIC PARK. MD.. May 23.

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.
