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 B "■! I 1.. L w' *i I DRUMMOND I NATURAL LEAF | CHEWING TOBACCO > I Makes your 1 I work seem easier 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. The Crackers opened the second “If It's at Hartman's, h's Correct” REDUCTION SALE OF ALL OXFORDS $6.00 tor $4.35 $5.00 for $3.85 $4.00 for $3.15 $3.50 for $2.95 .

Six Peachtree Street (Opp. Peters Bldg.) | "II It's Correct, It's at Hartman's” i 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. Just as the rain begat) to fall Umpire O'Toole announced that the game was forfeited to Atlanta. And flic tiie Pelicans will be a er to the fateful four-and-a-half Innings which, with the Crackers ahead, would have constituted* a game. So the Pelicans dragged things along in every known way. long time getting over it.
