Here We Have the Old Query Again: What Makes Southpaws Wild?
TWO OF’EM BLEW UP YESTERPAY; VOLS WON GAME
By Percy 11. Whiting.
x YESTERDAY'S ball game
V brought ns smack up against
the old question, viz; south
paws—why are they so wild?
Nothing the sphinx ever pro
pounded was any more difficult Io
solve. It is the only conundrum
with a kick to it about which base
ball writers, who rush in where
managers fear to tread, haven't
even a decent theory.
The question came up because a
couple of southpaws heaved them
selves out of a ball game at Ponce
DeLeon ball park yesterday after
noon, and because one of these ball
players is one of the world's most
notable players—Mr. Lefty Bussed,
late of Hagerstown, Md.. and Phil
adelphia, Pa.
A man once most eminent among
the world's southpaws. Colonel
Theodore Breitenstein. umpired the
ball game, or part of it. anyhow.
After the contest, he was asked for
an interview on the pitching nt
Russell and his chunees for get
ting control. His reply was three
grunts and a nod
As foi- Connie Mack, the gentle
man who sent Russell to Atlanta,
he professes still to believe that
Russell will get control. Atlanta
hopes so, it didn't look so yester
day. when Russell lasted .only two
innings. But then you never can
tell. Russell has everything else
necessary, including a good bean
and plenty of determination, ami
Manager Hemphill will put him
through a course of marksmanship
exercises that may give him the

what ruined Marquard for so many
years. McGraw cured- it. Hemp

' Y terday, the game developed into
a good one Vedder Sitton got
going great guns, and the Nashville
team couldn’t do anything with
him until the tenth, when Wel
chonee happened to connect a wild
swing with a straight hall and sent
the sphere hurtling to the foot of
the scoreboard for a homer. That
one run beat Sitton, though fortu
nately for his record, the game was
lost when In- took command, so it
is not scored against him.
It was a really good contest, a
marvel, considering that it was
being contested by a couple of tail
end teams. And one tiling is help
ful, No matter if we lose ’em all
to Nashville, we can’t take their
last place away from them. They
have been too consistently bad to
make that possible—yet.
'T'HK return to form of "Kid" El

good outfielders. Schwartz is as
good a first baseman as you ever
find In this league. McDonald
seems to be a coming third base
man. Perry and Lindsay are use
ful infielders. The pitching staff is
tolerably good, and “Rowdy" Elliott
is a good catcher in every depart

the team meet£ with marvelous
hard luck will it continue on the
bottom. You have my word for
that.

JTARRY BAILEY, the man who
hit four such awful wallops
Saturday, had a weird batting ex
perience yesterday. Twice he walk
ed. Twice he fanned. Once he hit.
One big tiling about Bailey's work
at bat is tliHt he manages to get a
base on balls once out of every
five or six times lie faces the pitch
er. In addition to doing this, lie
makes an aveiage of more than
one hit out of every four times lie
is at bat. in other words, he man
ages to get on bases .bout twice a
game. And any man who can no
that and Who can run bases like
Bailey is i help to tile club.

V. FI. George, lessee of the build

will take legal means themselves
to prevent the tight from being
staged ove: their place of business.
They declare that if a fight was
hel<4 over them it would be
up to the tire chief to make a case
against them and if he failed in
his duty in this that any private
citizen could have a ease made
against them. Fearing arrest be
cause they have their place of busi
ness in the same building with a
tight ring, the garage men will
ask the court to prevent the tight
from being staged.
Something herebefore unknown
came to light yesterday. The
Buick people have about 100 cars
stored above the tight club. They
claim there is no gasoline or in
flammable fluid in the machines as
they are new cars. The fire chief
stated yesterday that these ma
chines had been examined, but an
automobile man who has been in
that room says he could find gaso
line in nearly every car stored
there, and that there is inflammable
oil in each machine
If these machines have oil or
gasoline in them it would certain
ly be against the ordinance to oper
ate a tight on the floor beneath
them. Now, if it’s against the law
for the Firestone-Columbus or
Pope-Hartford people to operate
below the club it is certainly
against the same law for the Buick
people to have cars with gasoline
and oil in them above the club.
Will the tight promoters ask the
Buick people to move their $190,000
stock out into the street so that
they can hold their little setto
downstairs? They might as well.
They have asked the Pope-Hart
ford people and the Firestone-
Columbus people to move their
stock aggregating $50,000. So
there is $1511,000 in stock to be
moved out and not be covered by
any insurance whjle it is out of
the building. And then. too. the
building is still a garage add the
’ tenants liable to arrest if any as
sembling is held in the place.
