TUESDAY. -TULY 2. 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.

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 |news fromringside Tommy Devlin, the gritty little scrap per. who has fought in this city several times, has signed up to box eight rounds with Yankee Schwartz In Nashville on the Fourth « • • Schwartz has been going good of late and meeting some of the best boys in the South However, the followers of Devlin believe he will add another notch to his list of wins when the two come together. • • • Frank Mulkern. who Is managing Ray Temple, has accented terms for his pro tege to fight tn Memphis Thursday He will be matched with Willie Ritchie.

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.

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. Billy Papke, probably the great- Hewsheim G Today’s Ford is to-morrow’s car.

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 enough graveyard of champions Joe will have the best of the weight in the coming contest, hut this will be a small matter—about two or three pounds. Ad will weigh 130 and Joe probably will be at the 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 played.
