Crackers Home Today for Series With Pelicans at Poncey
THIS IS SHRINERS* DAY; BIG DOINGS ARE ON TAP
By Percy IL Whiting.
r-j-AHIS Is Masonic day at the ball
I park. More particularly it
is Shriners day. Fifteerf hun
dred Shriners. delegates to the
state convention here, will storm
the stands at Poncey this after
noon. and there will be high old
Sliriner times.
The opening festivity will be a
drill of the Shriners patrol in front
of the stands. This in itself should
be a big feature. With that out of
the way. Illustrious Potentate John
A. Hynds will hurl the first ball of
the game. Then the Crackers’ star
Mason, Tommy Atkins, will take
up the doings and finish out the
game.
After the game the Shriners will
blow thejnselves to a grand bar
becue at the old Ponce DeLeon
amusement park.
A slather of prizes have been of
fered for the game and for the se
ries that it Introduces. The man
who pulls off the nio«t brilliant
play of the game gets sls in cash,
offered by the Sh.tners. The man
who drives in th< most runs in the
New f trleans series gels a gold
watch. The man witii the best bat
ting average for the series gets a
hat. The pitcher who hurls the best
game in the series gets a hat. The
player who makes the longest hit
gets $5 worth of merchandise.
• • •
\NT> now, just byway of chang
ing the subject, do you know
just what a boneitead is?
Just off-hand you would say that
a bonehead was a player without
anj’ sense.
But that's wrong.
Did you ever hear a manager
say "He's crazy, but he has Just
enough sense to play baseball?"
Maybe sou thought he was kfd
ding, but he wasn't.
It doesn't always take a brainy
dome to top off a smart ball player.
Let's take a couple of cases far
enough back in the misty past to
keep from hurting anybody's feel
ings (though there are plenty of
such cases in the league today).
But. anyhow, just consider "Tacks’
Parrott ami Rugs” Raymond Now,
Parrott, in his best day. didn't have
an overabundance of convoluted
think stuff Yet he was not a
"bt-nehead" on the field. Ray
mond's < -s. was the same. If The
Insec t had had a problem in quad
ratic equations to do to save his
life he'd t>e a goner sure. Rtit he
could keep his end up in baseball
So clearly It isn't the dumheads
who pull the bones of baseball.
Hugh Jennings, in a newspaper
article, once said. ‘I don’t believe
there is such a tiling as a ’bone
head’ In baseball. It is a fault that
bears a wrong name What we un
derstand nowadays as a ’bonehead’
is merely a man who can not think
quickly."
And there you have it
Raymond and Parrott couldn't
think deeply. But what thinking
they could do was* done quickly.
And that made them "smart ball
players."
It la likelc that some of -ho
great philosophers and thinker- of
the age would have been "bone
heads" at baseball because they
. oul-ln’t think quit kly.

The Judge Is Tough With Speeders
Up to a f?x\ yeais ago th? aver
age fan \xas all at sea over the
hit-and-run plax. When a man lit
out from first on a hit ball that tn
the fans was obviously a liner right
into an infielder's hands, they
thought h? xvas a deep-dyed bone.
They supposed that the player ran
because he did not have any better
sens? Right today there are plen
ty of regular fans who can't see
xx hv players arc so often doubled
up when they xvould have been aafe
by holding first.
J. Callahan cites another exam
ple of a supposed ‘‘bun?*’ that real
ly wasn't one. Sax - he.
‘I remember an instance of last
summer that also illustrates the
point. I was coaching at third
base. Harry Lord was on first with
one out and we needed two runs to
’I? th? score. On the hit-and-run
pla.V, Pat Doughcrtx made a line
nit to right field and Lord legged
if to third. Th? right fielder lined
th? ball to second base, and just
as 1 grabbed I.ord and stopped him
at third, the second baseman fum
bled and booted the ball. This
xx ould have let Lord come home.
CRACK IN BOXING LID
IS FOUND IN ARKANSAS
LITTLE ROCK. ARK.. June 5.—A
loophole in Arkansas' penal code large
enough for boxers to escape from the
charge of prize fighting was recognized
here by a justice of the peace, when
a ease wherein arrests had been made
at the instance of Governor George W.
Donaghey was dismissed for want of
evidence that the principals had been
fighting for a prize.
Fight follow era assert that this paves
the way for further boxing contests
here, and say that preparationsale be
ing made to follow the advantages
gained today. The defendants freed
were Adolph Jacobson. Homer R.
Heard and Referee Jax'k White. The
contest took place before the Rose City
Athletic elul> last Friday night.
SAM EDWARDS PITCHES
A NO-HIT NO-RUN GAME
COMMERCE. GA . June s.—Sam Ed
wards held the Royston team to a no
hit no run game here yesterday, strik
ing out thirteen and issuing only one
pass. The fact that the Royston team
is made up of such stars as R.-Ginn,
Robinson. McWhorter, Jordan. Brooks
and others makes it the more note
worthy The score was 11 to 0.
RACING DEAD IN LOUISIANA.
BATON ROUGE. LA.. June 5. That
horse racing in Louisiana has littls
chance of being restored was shown
today by a poll of the lower house of
the general assembly, when a majority
of the members of that body expressed
themselves as opposed to the bill in
troduced several days ago providing for
the restoration of racing in New Or
leans.

but neither of us saw it and the
crowd yelled its disapproval and
roasted me for holding him at
third. At the same time the um
pire sent me to the bench for using
my hands to push Lord back to
the hag and the crowd thought that
Manager Duffy had taken me off
the coaching line for pulling a
bone-headed play.”
About all the moral there Is to
this tale is that it doesn’t pay to
judge players hastily nor Is it wise
to size a man up as a fool merely
because he can’t think quickly
enough to keep up with the speed
of a baseball. The worst looking
play is sometimes for the best and
the slowest thinkers are sometimes
the deepest.
