Hemphill's Men Leave for Foreign Pastures After Tomorrow's Game
CRACKERS LIKELY TO CLEAN UP ON SOUTHERN TOUR
Hv Percy H. Whiting.
ANOTHER iong home stay* is
virtually over. And nothing
doing yet. Today and tomor
row single games will be played
with the Pelicans. The one today
is set for 4 o'clock. Tomorrow’s
game will start early, as the Peli
cans are due at home and the
Crackers in Mobile on Sunday, and
they have to leave on a 5:20 p. tn.
train.
The home stay, which is so soon
to end, has not done much for the
good of the cause. When it began
the f'rackdts were in next to last
place. They are still there. They
must now beat It down into the
torrid and tempestuous Southern
division for two weeks of trouble
Yet there i«n’t a man who has
seen the games of rhe last two
weeks who is the feast downheaht
-1 ed. over wljat ought to be a pretty
distressing situation
For the Crackers are looking right
enough at last and it will be sur
prising If they don't beat it right
down Into the Southern division
and trim rh» four Southern clubs
oh their own diamonds.

z-» HA NGiNG pitchers is a ticklish
business. More considerations
are involved than the average fan
dfeams of.
In the first place, there is the
question. “Is it necessary?” Many
a pitcher wabbles who eventually
pulls himself together. Even the
most expert of managers finds him
self puzzled in almost every game
to know whether his pitcher Is
merely flickering or whether he is
i really in need of help.
In the second place, a manager
must ask himself, "Will it do any
good?"
, Not all managers have an Etl
; Walsh to fall back on In distress.
, It doesn’t do much good to take
I oui one pitcher who Is being drub
bed In ordep to put in another who
will get the same dose.
Thirdly, especially in the smaller
leagues, a mogul must ask him,self,
1 "i'in I afford it?"
’ The pitching supply In the
leagues that have narrow player
limits, as the Southern has. is
small. With doubleheaders piled
, up and a lame arm or two on the
staff a manager is up against It.
, He may tu#' out a pitcher who is
1 going bad. only to send in another
'. who will do the same and be forced
t> Anally tn use three men which
° max- mean a half or even three
< fifths of his staff
Fourthly, the manager will have
. to inquire of himself before he
changes pitchers, "'What will be the
psychological effect on the staff?"
The funs don't think of this side
, of it at all. The truth is, though.
> a manager hates io relieve a timid
pitcher. If he does the next time
tills pitcher works h» will begin

calling for help the first time the
opposition gets to him at all. It is
frequently better to let a pitcher
work out his own salvation —if it
happens to be “salvation." other
wise "doom." If he gets to know
that every time he gets into trou
ble he will have to work his way
out it stiffens his courage material
ly and makes a more useful pitcher
out of him.
ADMITTING all this and a lot
more and denying any inten
tion of trying to manage anybody's
team for him. we can't get away
from the overpowering hunch that
if Charley Hemphill had yanked
Tommy Atkins in good time yester
day he would have saved the first
game, for Atlanta.
The fans saw it. too.
This town Isn't any great place
for yelping "Take im out!" when
a pitcher is bumped a bit. When
that cry goes up in Atlanta it is
generally- high time to act.
It may’ be safely suspected that
if the crowd hadn’t-. yfUejl yester
day Hemphill might have derrick
ed Atkins. A little criticism is kn
awful thing to warp a man's Judg
ment. Re that a<= it may. Tommy
flickered a bit—Trot- -much, mind
you. but enougli 4u tile third,
fourth and sixth innings, to (ose the
game. If Hemphill had heeded tne
warning of the fans and stuck in
another pitcher he might have
saved the day-.
Even after the decision went
against the Crackers th**' yyas a
swell chance to derrick Tommy: In
the seventh a hit. a base on balls
and an error filled the bases with
<'packers: two were out and At
kins was due to come up. The
Crackers were only one run behind.
And there was a swell pinch hit
ter—Pat Donahue—on the bench.
It looked like a great time to make
a shift. Rut Hemphill wouldn’t see
it, stuck in Atkins: Tommy- fanned
and the Crackers were beaten.
The score was 3 to 2 and It Was
a clean, fast, interesting game.
Swindell pitched good ball for the
Pelicans and the Crackers couldn't,
do much with him.
. • •
IT'S a pity that the Southern
league is going to let O'Toole
out. For he's one umpire with the
courage of his convictions.
He showed that fact yesterday
when he forfeited the second game
against the Pelicans for their dila
tory tactics in attempting to string
along tiie game until rain could
break it up and save them from an
otherwise certain defeat.

game by hopping all over Pitcher
Wagner. Before the drubbing was
completed they had scored four
runs in the first inning.
Waldorf, who had looked like
such an onion his only other lime
out was making the Pelicans bat
like monkeys, and feeble monkeys
at that.
Perhaps of all the features of the
day Waldorf's work was the bright
est. The big lad struck out four
- batters in the three innings the
game lasted, encouraged two Peli
cans to foul out and made two
others pop to Infielders. The only
other man hit a weak grounder and
was out at first. Three innings
without letting the Pelicans hit
the ball out of the infield was pret
ty' clever going. Maybe this lad
isn't so worse after all. The Crack
er players say he "has more on the
ball" than any pitcher who has
worked at Poneey this season, and
that he win be a hummer if he has
control.
About the time it seemed sure
that the Crackers were going to cop
the game one of those roving show
ers that now curste the land came
snorting toward the ball park. The
Pelicans saw it coming and yelped
with joy.
From the New' Orleans view
point the rain was a trifle slow in
coming. And It steadily drew near-
Again and again did Umpire
O’Toole warn them to speed up
or take the consequences. There
haven‘t been any tjonsequences, as
a rule, in the Southern league for
delaying ball games. So they
thought it was a swell Joke.
