THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AXD KESTS. TUESDAY. JULY 2. 1912.
Crackers Open Several Kegs of Baseball in the Next Few Days
MORNING AND AFTERNOON GAMES PLAYED JULY 4
By Percy H. Whiting.
fan* get away today
f<»r a regular jamboree of
baseball. Two battles arc
scheduled for today and will fake
place if the weather permits, which
(as wo write) Isn’t any too bloom
ing certain. Tomorrow will
be one gam*. Rut upon the glo
rious Fourth there will bp both
morning and alternoon games. In
the big leagues the fans are usual
ly offered several morning games
each year But in Atlanta there is
never but one, and that on the
Fourth. It usually draws a pret
ty good crowd.
The baseball offering w ill he "sin
gles” on Friday and Saturday, but
next week the <’rankers w ill set out
on the difficult task of playing nine
games in six days. This is a husky
Job. and should give the bargain
hunters their till of double head
ers.
Now that Recker has reported
and that F’oomb.s is in the hole,
where he can be dug out and pitch
ed if needed. Manager Hemphill can
face these games with entire equa
nimity The team is going strong.
With plenty of pitchers it is in
shape to weather the storm as xvell
as any of its opponents.
'pHR abllit.v to steal base? is one
* of Hu strongest offensive of
ferings of a ball club. A man on
first base Isn’t worth a hang unless
there are a couple more singles
fomlng. or a long two-bagger, or
unless he can steal a base If he
can steal his way down to second
he is in a position to score on a
single or an error One man on
second is worth a whole team on
first.
All of w hich being true the catch
ers who can hold the base runners
on first are the men who do the
most for their ball clubs Col H
T McDaniel has recently figured
out the number of stolen bases al
lowed bv the various catchers of
the league and the not result is a
document worth the study of th*
dope delvers of the league Her”
are the figures.

The star catcher of the league at
holding down the opposing base
runners is Rill Dllger. of Birming
ham. who has allowed an average
of less than a stolen base a game.
*T>oc" Sea.bough is the boob catch
er of the league In this respect. He
allowed an average of four and a
third to the game while he was
w r lth Nashville. The one-game
record goes to "Rough Neck"
Elliott, who was the victim of ten
steals In one session.
Os course everybody knows that
stolen bases are not always the
fault of the catcher. To prevent
them the pitcher must make the
base runner hug first and the sec
ond baseman and shortstop must
be able to tag out runners when
the ball Is thrown them tn time.
In reality the scoring of bases
stolen in a game ought to give
something like 50 per eent of the

catcher’s work is to prevent
passed balls. It is likely that, even
with the most careful scoring, the
catcher Is charged with a lot of
passed balls that ought to go
against the hurler as wild pitches.
At that, though, real passed balls
are all too frequent.
Another thing about passed balls
is that they seem almost always to
come at critical times. How many
thousand times a year do the sto
ries of games contain the fatal line:
"The runner scored from third on
a passed ball"? In consequence,
the passed ball record is of inter

Wolgast and Rivers Ready for '
Fight July 4 at Vernon Arena
By Charles F. Eyton.
(Famous American Referee.)
LOS ANGELES. July 2.—The
day after tomorrow will
probably be made memorable
as the date on which the greatest
lightweight fistic battle of modern
times took place. Not for years
has there been a ring engagement
which promised such a test of
brains and brawn as the coming
AVolgast-Rivers clash for the light
weight title.
Wolgast, one of the grandest
champions of his day. is pitted
against the most dangerous 133-
pound challenger that the game
has produced in years. These two
boys represent mentally and physi
cally the highest standard in mod
ern boxing.
Speed, cleverness and brains are
to be matched in a scheduled twen
ty-round contest, and the memory
of this Queensberry event probably
will live as long as the game exists.
They’re AH Keen About It.
As the ej-entful hour draws
closer every one hangs with avid
ity on every word either boy says—
all the world and his wife seem to
be interested. Let one man whis
per to another that AVolgast says
this, or Rivers did that, and all
eyes and ears are alert in a minute.
Vernon arena has been none too
lucky for champions, and several
have had an "ex" tacked on to
their names out there. Frankie
Conley won the bantam champion
ship there from Monte Attell after
42 rounds of fighting.

est in-and-outer that ever re
shined a shoe, laid the great Stan
ley Ketchell low in the same ring
after twelve rounds of gory milling.
Abe Attell, the almost invincible
fine, who had gone up and down
the line for years without finding
any one who could worry him, was
forced io strike his colors to Kil
bane in this arena.
They’re Playing Hunches,
To the superstitious this losing
of so many titles is a hunch and
lots of them are backing said
hunch with real money, figuring
that rhe Vernon arena is the sure
enough graveyard of champions.
Joe will have the best of the
weight in the coming contest, but
this will be a small matter —about
two or three pounds. Ad will weigh
130 anil Joe probably will tie at the
lightweight limit—l 33 pounds.
Today winds up the work of both
contestants. They will simply k»ep
on edge from now on. They are
both satisfied with their condition
and in each camp there is nothing
but ’he utmost confidence dis
played.
EUREKA CLUB WALLOPED
BY BOXING COMMISSION
NEW YORK. July 2. The state ath
letic commission, which has jurisdiction
over boxing in the Empire Slate at a
special meeting yesterdax. refused to
grant a license tn the Eureka Athletic
club.
It is believed that the two-man body
denied a permit on the assumption that
the new organization is connected with
the defunct National Sporting club, which
lost its license after a decision had been
rendered by the referee in the bout be
tween .Hm Stewart, and Gunboat Smith.
