THE ATALANT GEORAGIAN AND NEWS EDNESDAY, JUNE
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 two
games nearer oblivion here
yesterday afternoon and the
Vols cut down a good big section
of the gap that separates them
from the cellar exit. A couple more
afternoons like that and the
<'lackers 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 S to 0 and
5 to 4.
If there were an alibi for the
Crackers we d never print it. They
deserved all they got, and more.
Yet symapthy should be extend
ed to the two Cracker pitchers.
They deserved better than they
got. The unspeakably putrescent
fielding of the Cracker club paved
the way or actually caused most
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
u "hijeous” performance.
* • •
'■pillS 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-enders. 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 all
that was coming to them on the
Cracker misplays.
At the same time nobody who
saw the game wilt deny that It was
more a case of the Crackers kick
ing it away than of the Volunteers
winning It.
• • •
THE Crackers began their 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,
but this fourth inning is a sam
ple. James grounded to East, who
missed It Lindsay bunted down
the first base line and O’Dell fell
in attempting to field it. Wel
i honce dropped one in front of the
plate and Graham mussed up the
play With the bases full. Young
let one down easy in front of the
plate. Graham recovered it, touched
the plate and threw to first, com
pleting a double. Perry then sent
a slow one down to Dessau and
heat it to firs' for a scratch hit.
snd Lindsay scored Schwartz hit
another one and Welchonce and
Perry tallied, the latter making I;
all around from first to the plate
on a slow single to Hemphill.
That was the way the whole aft
ernoon went. In the seventh when
he Vols added their other three
Dessau allowed a base on balls and
O'Brien perpetrated an error before
any damage was done. After that
came a couple of real hits and the
scoring was ended.
Against Case the Crackers weie
helpless. The only times they did
hit him it netted them nothing, tn
the eighth a three-baggei by
Hemphill was followed immediately
by .< single by Callahan, yet Hemp
hill iouldn'l score. Os cotese, Cal
lahan's effort was a scratch to the
infield.
The Crackers were sole as fro
zen crabs at the umpires, hut that
didn’t get them anything. And it
Is more than likely that they could
hace umpired the game themselves
I and yet not won it.
• • •
1 ->HE second game was quite as
hopel sly wretched as the first,
only it was more exciting, for the
Vote pulled a few erro s. ami
Bair was wild, the Crackers were
in the hunt.
Tommy Atkins pitched for Atlan
ta, and. as lias bion the case al-
I »m, ry tune tin i 'hi" wondei
has worked since, hr joined the
Crackers last season, the club 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
he had singled, with a wild throw.
Lindsay, the third man who scored,
lived on one error and advanced’on
another.
Despite the bad fielding of the
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 he beat out
do you all get that'.’ Jumbo Glenn,
the baby road roller, 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. June 12.
Johnny Coulon. of Chicago, the ban
tamweight champion, figured in a fight
with Eranklie Hays, 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
he said was a "frame-up.” He de
clared that the boys had refused to
tight even after he had warned them.
Chief of Police Cowles ordered the
fight to go on and Announcer Doherty
acted as referee. The boys went at It
again, but before they had been fight
ing a minute in the fourth. Hays went
to the floor. He remained there until
the count of eight, but after a couple of
seconds went down again, this time
being counted out.

though there may have been some
other reason for it. If it was to
let Sykes in, it was a move that
didn’t net him much. Sykes popped
to Perry and then Brady, who suc

ATLANTA Is a mighty blue town
now in a baseball way. The
slump of the team has been steady
and is continuing.
Yet there Isn't any kicking
against the baseball association.
They have just bought Lefty Rus

managed to fool that greatest of all
managers. Connie Mack. They have
just bought Pitcher Brady, who
had a grand record last year. They
have just secured Callahan who
was a wonder with New Orleans
last season. They bought Coleman
of,the Yanks —who seems to have
jumped. And they are trying to
pull a big deal to let Sykes go for
an infielder of note and ability.
Rut still the Crackers lose.
Verily these are gray days in At
