The play this morning was par

Crackers Open Several Kegs of Baseball in the Next Few Days
MORNINfi AND AFTERNOON GAMES PLAYED JULY 4
By Percy H. Whiting.
C-^R ACKER fans get away today
for a regular jamboree of
baseball. Two battles are
scheduled for today and will take
place if the weather permits, which
(as we write) Isn't any too bloom
ing certain Tomorrow there will
be one game. But upon the glo
rious Fourth there will be both
morning and afternoon 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 will be "sin
gles" on Friday and Saturday, but
next week the Crackers will 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 fill of double head
ers. »
Now that Becker has reported
and that Coombs is in the hole,
where he can he 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 well
as any of Its opponents.

rpHE ability to steal bases is one
1 of the 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
coming, 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 which 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
nut the number of stolen bases al
lowed bj the various catchers of
the league and the net result is a
document worth the study of the
dope drivers of the league. Here
age the figures:

The star catcher of the league at
holding down the opposing base
runners is Bill Dilger. of Birming
ham, who has allowed an average
of less than a stolen base a game.
“Doc” Seabough 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
with NashviHe. The -ene-game
record goes to "Rough Neck’'
Elliott, who was rhe victim of fen
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 in time.
In reality the scoring of bases
stolen In a game ought to give
something like 50 per cent of t.ne

important detail of the
catcher’s work is to prevent
passed balls. It is likely that, even
with the most careful scoring, the
catcher is charged wdth a lot of
passed balls that ought to go
against tlie hurler as wild pities.
At that, though, real passed balls
are all too frequent.
Another thing about passed bails
is tnat 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 bali”? In consequence,
the passed ball record Is of inter
est. What the Southern league
catchers have done in the way of
allowing passed balls is here set

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 ma<4 e 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
Wolgast-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 All Keen About It.
As the eventful 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 Wolgast 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.

They’re Playing Hunches.
To th" superstitious tills lysing
of so many titles is a hunch and
lots of them are backing said
hunch with real money, figuring
that the Vernon arena is the sure

Joe will have the best of the
weight in the coming contest, hut
this will be a small matter—about

lightweight limit—l 33 pounds.
Today winds up the work of both
contestants. They will simply keep
on edge from' now on.* They are
both satisfied with their condition
and in each camp there is nothing
but the utmost confidence dis

EUREKA CLUB WALLOPED

NEW YORK. July 2.—The state ath
