Crackers Are Short of Work, But /Ire Coming Around All Right
PELS PLAY LIKE WILD MEN AND WIN HANDILY
By Percy H. Whiting.
(I T F we loss today I know what’s
| the matter with ua,” said
Charley Hemphill before yes
terday’s 3-4 defeat, “it’s heratiee
w need more worflc Some team*
do better with ocoaaional rests, but
the Atlanta team thle year needs
seven frames a week, every week,
to keep In shape. We have pitch
ers who need work to be good. The
bad weather lately has kept ns
from getting right."
This Is offered as the Extenuat
ing C’irrnmsta.no*, which Is anoth
er title for our old friend. Colonel
A. N. Alibi.
The Cradcerx lost, but they lost a
good game, a corking game as far
as fielding stunts went. The Peli
can fielders went “plum crazy" and
nul’ed stuff that ought to land them
in Milledgeville Spencer, for ex
ample. went twice up the right
field bank after balls, and once he
f.ji down, balanced on one shoul
der. caught the ball, rolled over
dovn the bank, but HELD THE
BALL.
Any team Is hard to beat when It
Is going like that, but 1t Is especial
ly hard to stop when It has a pitch
er working as Ducky Swann was
working yesterday. This lad. who
is as old as he Is small, and ae con
fident as he !s old. had the Crack
ers feeding from his mitt.
Maybe 1t was the old “pygmy
pitcher hoodoo." varnished up and
put in running order for the IJI2
eeaeon. In years past the Crack
ers could drub the big guys, and
the bigger they were the hander
they fell: but the little ones were
jinks Gordon Hickman, no bigger
than a eels-respecting flea, used to
make the Crackers look like jokes
And now along comes Swann,
who 1s little larger than Hickman
and probably a good Mt older, and
be hands the locals some of the
old-time etuft
The Crackers sent their smallest
pitcher. Tommy Atkina, against the
but It was of no avail.
Atkins pitched a first-class game
If ft had not been for one error he
would have held Frank's men to
two runs, and that’s surelv all you
ean reasonably ask of a pitcher. It
has been Tommy’s curse for years
that hie teams wouldn't make any
runs for him and the hoodoo seems
Still to hover ever his head.

T T seemed odd not to see Mana
ager Hemphill in the game.
The manager explains hie absence
from the line-up as follows:
"vv hat chance have T got to break
In. with al! of them hitting the way
they are? I oan’t afford to break
up a good combination. Besides, 1
want to give Far! Sykes some
work. What good Is a utility man
If he doesn’t get a chance to do
something now and then? They
are all doing all right and I may
stay out several days.”
That’s what Hemphill says

ASSORTED FIST FIGHTS
ENLIVEN GAME AT TULSA
TULSA, OKLA.. .Tune 6 —Four fist
fights, the ejectment from the grounds
and jailing of the umpire and the fainting
of a ball player who was in the grand
stand served as a prelude to yesterday's
game between Tulsa and Okmulgee, of
the Oklahoma State league It was ladles’
day, too.
First some one questioned the sobriety
of Umpire McKee Then came a fisticuff
between the umpire and Owner Bleckley,
of the Tulsa club Umps McKee came
out second best, but had sufficiently re
covered when Manager Gardner, of the
Okmulgee team, who is under suspension
and -who, McKee alleges, assaulted him
after yesterday's game, came on the field
to engage him in battle. At this stage
spectators swarmed on the field, and Mc-
Kee was carried bodily into the dressing
room under the grandstand, where two
Okmulgeeans acted as his opponents in
bout No. 3
In the absence of the umpire, two spec
tators were selected as umpires, and the
game started. It had not progressed far.
however, before McKee was on the field
again, and exchanging blows with Man
ager Price, of Tulsa This fray was at
its height when Shortstop Black, of Ok
mulgee, fainted
Four policemen put an end to hostili
ties by arresting McKee. Tulsa won the
. game. 4 to 1

DANVILLE QUITS WHEN
GATE RECEIPTS SLUMP
DANVILLE. VA.. June 6.-—At a meet
ing of the stockholders and directors of
the Danville Athletic duh it was unan
imously decided last night to surren
der the franchise.
The franchise was turned over to J.
O. Boatwright, president of the league,
who will endeavor to place it with Suf
folk.
The team left here last night to play
at Petersburg, according to schedule,
and will continue to play until some
city is found to take it.
Baseball in this city has been a losing
proposition since the beginning of the
season and latterly, with constant re
verses and poor gate receipts, it. be
came apparent that the local club could
not. weather the storm.
