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.

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 |NEWS FROM RINGSIDE| Tomm?

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 est.

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. Billy Papke, probably the great- Hernsheim Cigar 1 C—- ! '! 1 I I . I l> j 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.
