Sickening Slump Toward Last Place Goes Steadily and Sadly On
CRACKERS DROP TWO; ARE NOW NEXT TO LAST
By Percy H. Whiting.
rpHE Crackers dropped l«o
| Kames nearer oblivion here
yesterday afternoon and the
Vols out down a Kood big section
of the gap that separates them
from the cellar exit. A couple more
afternoons like that and the
Crackers will be as utterly and en
tirely last as they ever got during
the depressing days of 1911.
The scores in yesterday after
noon's engagements were R to n and
5 Io 4.
If there were an alibi for the
Crackers we d never print it. They
deserved all they got, and more.
Vet symapthy should be extend
ed Io the two Cracko: pitchers.
They deserved better than they
got. The unspeakably putrescent
fielding of the Cracker club paved
the way or actually caused mo«t
of the Volunteer runs.
Every now and then a club Is
entitled to pull a game that is un
speakably bad. But the Crackers
overstepped all bounds by pulling
two in the same afternoon, it was
,i "bi.ieous" performance.
• « •
epHIS gentle hammer throwing
* Isn't intended to act as a scoop,
to shovel away any of the credit
that the tail-enders deserve for
taking a double-header from the
semi-tail-endei'S. The Nashville
team, though it made a good lot
of mistakes, was a world series per
former compared with Atlanta. The.
Vols were able to take advantage
of every mistake and to get nil
that was coming to them on the
Cracker misplays.
At the same time nobody who
saw the game will deny that It was
more a case of the Crackers kick
ing it away than of the Volunteers
winning it.
• • •
THE Crackers began theii rough
work in the first Inning, when
O'Brien perpetrated an error, but
nothing happened that counted un
til the fourth.
We have no morbid intentions
of going into all the sad details,
hut this fourth inning is a sam
ple .lames grounded to East, who
missed it Lindsay bunted down
the first base line and O’Dell fell
in attempting to field iff Wel
chonce dropped one in front of the
plate and Graham mussed up the
play. With tile bases full. Young
let one down easy in front of the
plate Graham recovered it. touched
the plate and threw to first, coni
p oling a double. Perry then sent
.< slow one down to Dessau and
ben' it to firs' for a scratch hit,
and Lindsay scored Schwartz hit
another one and Welchonce and
Perry tallied the latter making it
all around from first to the plate
on a slow single to Hemphill.
That was tire war the whole aft
ernoon went. In the seventh when
the Vols added their other three
Des'au allowed a •sc on balls and
o Brien perpetrated an error before
any damage was done, xfier that |
came a couple of real bl's and tlr
was ended
Xgainst <'ase the < rackers w<-ig
helpless. The only time' they did
hit him it netted them nothing In
the eighth a three haggci by
Hemphill was followed Immediately
by a single by Callahan, y et Hemp
lull < ouldn't ‘■core. of cotffe. Cal
lahan's effort wa< a scratch to the
infield
The Crackers were sore as fro
zen crabs, at the umpires, but that
didn't get them anything. \n<4 it
is more than likely that they could
have umpired the game themselves
and yet not won it.
-pH E sec ond game was quite as
1 hopelessly w retched as the first, |
only if was more exciting, for the
Vols pulled a few erro •«, and as
Bair was wild, the Crackers were
in the hunt.
Tommy \tkin- piti hed for Mian
ta. ami. as has been the case al
most every time the Ohio wonder I
We Have a Mysterious Dame in the Case
has worked since he joined the
< 'racket s last season, the elub just
refused to win for him.
Every inning in which the Vols
scored a run off Atkins an error
figured. Young, the first man who
scored, got safe on O’Dell’s error.
East helped Storch around, after
lie had singled, wdth a- wild throw.
Lindsay, the third man who scored,
lived on one error and advanced on
another.
Despite the bad fielding of Ihe
locals, the game entered the tenth
inning with the score tied. 4 and 4.
Glenn pulled something unexpect
ed by opening the tenth with an in
field grounder which ho beat out
do you all get that'.' Jumbo Glenn,
the baby road rollrr. beat out an
infield tap that was perfectly han
dled! Well, after that ANYTHING
could happen. Bair sacrificed the
giant along to second, and then
Storch smacked out a single that
sent across the winning run.
It may' be mentioned that in the
ninth Hemphill took out Atkins.
Apparently it was to let Sykes bat.
COULON IN “SUSPICIOUS"
FIGHT WITH FRANK HAYS
NEW HAVEN. CONN, .lune 12.
Johnny Coulon. of Chicago, the ban
tamweight champion, figured in a fight
with Eranklie Hay s, of St. Louis, which
fans looked upon as a fake. The bout
was scheduled to ten rounds, but at the
end of the third Referee Fitzgerald left
the ring, refusing to officiate in what
ho said was a ‘‘frame-up." He de
clared that the boys had refused to

again, but before they had been fight

the count of eight, but after a couple of
seconds went down again, this time
being counted out.
