THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. FRIDAY. .FITLY 12, 1912. Hemphill's Men Leave for Foreign Pastures After Tomorrow's Game CRACKERS LIKELV TO CLEAN UP ON SOUTHERN TOUR By Percy H. Whiting. ANOTHER long 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 can-- are due at home and the Crackers In Mobile on Sunday, and they have to leave on a 5:20 p. m. t rai n. The home stay, which is so soon to end. has not done much for the good of the cause. When it began the Crackers 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 isn't a man who has seen the games of the last two weeks who is the least downheart ed over what 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 the four Southern clubs on their own diamonds. • • • HANGING pitchers is a ticklish business. More considerations are involved than the average fan dreams 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 really in need of help. In the second place, a manager must ask himself. "Will it do any good ?” Not all managers have an Ed Walsh to fall back on In distress It doesn’t do much good to take out one pitcher who is being drub bed In order to put in another who will get the same dose. Thirdly, especially in the smaller leagues, a mogul must ask himself, "Can 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 take out a pitcher who is going bad. only to send in another w ho will do tlie same and be forced finally to use three men—which may 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 fans don’t think of this side of it at all. The truth is; though, a manager hates to relieve a timid pitcher. If he does the next time this pitcher works he will begin I DRUMMOND I NATURAL LEAF CHEWING TOBACCO Melees your I work seem easier I 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. a OMITTING 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 felplng “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 yelled yester day Hemphill might have derrlek ed Atkins. A little criticism is an awful thing to yvarp a man's judg ment, Be that as it may. Tommy flickered a bit—not much, mind you, but enough in the third, fourth and sixth innings, to lose the game. If Hemphill had heeded the warning of the fans and stuck in another pitcher he might have saved the day. IJven after the decision went against the Crackers there w r as a swell chance to derrick Tommy. In the seventh a hit, a base on balls and an error filled the bases with Crackers: two were out and At kins was due to come . up. The Crackers w ere 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. But Hemphill wouldn’t see it. He stuck to 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 the 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, It’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 All leathers, all styles, all grades—all reduced-—and with fully three months wear ahead for low-cuts. Come in tomorrow. Sat urday. We're open 'til midnight. Six Peachtree Street (Opp. Peters Bldg.) "If It’s Correct, It's at Hartman’s" 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 time out was making the Pelicans bat like monkeys, and feeble monkeys at that. Perhaps of all the features of the day Waldorf’swork 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 Poncey this season, and that he will 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 curse the land came snorting toward the ball park. The Pelicans saw it coming and yelped with joy Fro’m the New Orleans view point the rain was a trifle slow in coming. And it steadily drew near 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. Again and again did Umpire O'Toole warn them to speed up or take the consequences. There haven't been any consequences, as a rule, in the Southern league for delaying ball games. So they thought it was a swell joke. Just as the rain began to fall Umpire O’Toole announced that the game was forfeited to Atlanta. And the the Pelicans will be a long time getting over it.
