Few Crackers Who Invaded 'Nooga May 2 Take Part in Second Invasion
SERIES THAT BEGINS TOMORROW IS FOR BLOOD
By Percy FL Whiting.
THpSE traditional enemies,
the Atlanta and Chatta
nooga ba.ll clubs, wil) get to
gether Wednesday afternoon In a
.erics of games that should be a
good bit warmer than anything in
the recent past
The last time the Crackers
stormed old Lookout they man
aged to get two decisions and a tie
with their opponent*.
This time the Atlantans have a
decidedly stronger team But so
have the Lookouts
One advantage the Lookouts
have is the possession on the line
up of four men who bear a chronic
dislike for the Atlanta club Two
of them are deposed Atlanta man
agers, Bill Smltfh and Otto .lordan
The other two are deposed Atlanta
players. Roy Moran and Paul Sen
tell. The way these four hate the
Cracker club Is beautiful to con
template What they will (Jo'to the
Crackers if circumstances and the
opposition permit, will be harrow
ing in the extreme.
It isn't any team of misfits that
Charley Hemphill Is leading against
the Lookouts this time, not by
considerable The new Cracke-.
from Spartanburg, Harbison, looks
a wonder. He is certainly a good
bit stronger than anv man who has
ever played the position for the
Crackers this year. McElveen has

IT is an entirely changed line-up

Hemphill used the last time he was

Crackers and Volunteers Clash in Another Double-Header
ATKINS AND SITTON WILL DO HURLING TODAY
NYSHVTLLE, TENN., June 18.—
Arkins and Sitton will do the
hurling for the Crackers in
the double-header scheduled here
today, and as both are in tip-top
condition. Manager Charley Hemp
hill is confident of winning both
battles.
Charley Hemphill alleged that he
was working his "sore arm" bri
gade in the pitcher’s box yester
day. He has been announcing that
Russel! and Brady weren't very
well. He claimed that their arms
were sore.
After seeing Hemphill’s two in
valids work, local fans are of the
opinion that, if the rest of the
Cracker hurlers are feeling even
tolerably well, the Atlanta team will
not lose another game this year.
AryJ as for today’s double-header
—well they have already kissed
that good-bye.
The revivified Atlanta line-up
looked a hummer yesterday. Har
bison. the new ififielder from Spar
tanburg-in-the-bushes, batted
most demoniacally, and his five hits
were of the ringing, stinging varie
ty. He fielded well in the first,
game, but in the second his two er
rors came in the same inning. How
ever. he took chances and seemed
to know how to handle himself.
Lefty Russell, who made the
proverbial March hare look tame
as a Welch rarebit the first time ,
he worked for Atlanta pitched a >
phenomenal game yesterday. In s
eleven Innings of a bitter struggle i
he gave up only four hits, walked J
but one man and made a wild pitch. *
If Lefty" can keep anything like ,
this clip for the remainder of the
season he will win more games i
than ever a pitcher did before in l

ger Hemphill can hardly wait un
til it is Russell’s turn again, so
anxious is he to see If Russell can
keep that clip or If he is going to
blow again.
The first game yesterday was a
grizzly for excitement. It was tied
until the first of the eleventh. Then
the Crackers fell on the hitherto
invincible Summers and gave him
the awfulest kind of a drubbing,
driving out eight runs before they
had finished.

Governor McDonald refused to dis
cuss his plans today. It ts understood
he has been convinced he has ample
police power to prevent the contest.
JOE AGLER WIRES THAT HE
WILL BE HERE TOMORROW
President Callaway, of the Crackers, has
received a telegram from Joe Agler. the
new first baseman secured from the Cubs,
stating that he will be tn Atlanta tomor
row morning He will first affix his John
Hancock to a contract and then hustle
over to Chatanooga to Join the team.
Agler will probably play his first game
with the Crackers against the Lookouts on
Thursday, although It may be that Hemp
hill will waft until he brings his braves
home before making a shift.
By Tad
pitcher. Brady. This man has looked
bad or else has had bad support in
every game he has played this sea
son. But he was there all sixteen
ways yesterday. In seven innings
he held the Vols right down to five
hits, didn’t walk a man. didn't hit
a man, didn't make a wild pitch
and deserved to win by a wider
margin than he did.
On the strength of winning four
games in a row the Crackers were
tickled blue. The thing hasn't "hap
pened before this season. They are
getting their nerve back and ex
pect a big trip.
