Howevet we re not going to pawn the family jewels to het on it. If anybody " ants to know where the fault lies they needn't ask here.

But whether Hemphill can't make ’em play or whether nobody could and it's the players' fault we re blessed if "e know.

Not since the his torical days when Tris Speaker and B*als Becker were both play ing on the Little Rock team has there been an organization in the South which made as many hits and as few runs as the ('racket's. Going further into the complaint, though, you find that the poor scoring work seems to result part ly from poor base running and partly from an entire absence of pinch hitting. The Crackers' ill luck in devel oping runs has ben uncanny. They always seem to play it the wrong w ay. If a man singles and the next man sacrifices the next pair are al ways easy outs. If the scheme of things is shifted and the hit-and run play flashed, with a man on first, the batter always lines out and the runner who was on first is doubled off. Then, if a reversion to old-fashioned baseball is tried and *'erybody takes a wallop at the bail the first man will single, the next man will hit a short single, sending the first runner to second, and the third man will scratch one to th» infield, filling the bases. Then the next three men iri a row will strike out! Goodness only knows why. But they always do. Lack of timeliness in the offen sive displays, lack of consistency in the defensive work—those ar« the things that are keeping the ("Tackers down at the bottom.

The jump into last place jarred the Crackers to the marrow of their bones. They have been fight ing against it and staving it off for months past. Now they're there —absolutely last. And it was a grumpy crowd of ball players who moped around the hotel last night and this morning, waiting for a chance to get at the Gulls again. Manager Hemphill will probably de ide to send Waldorf against the Gulls. (t is his turn and the Cracker mogul figures that it does not make much difference. For the Gulls, it Is Demaree's turn, and as Mike Finn usually sticks religious ly to the regular order, he will un doubtedly work. Yesterday's game, that dbopped the Crackers to the very bottom, was a typical Cracker game of the vintage of 1912. The Atlanta play ers excelled in e\ orything but scoring runs. They made more hits and less errors than the Gulls. 0 EBBETS WORKED HIMSELF UP FROM TICKET SELLER NEAt YORK. July 14.—Charles H Ebbets. of the Brookly n club, is a self made baseball magnate.'

Ho made up his mind oven then to become the own er of the club some day. and ho never stopped trying. When the Brooklyns were consoli dated with the rival Players league team at Eastern park, Ebbets was made secretary, and when C. H. Byrne died ho was elected president. He held that office after th" Brooklyn-Baltimore deal was consummated, fourteen years ago, and gradually he bought up the stock, until today he controls 90 per cent of the club Somebody asked Ebbets recenfly If he would sell the Brooklyn club and he replied: "If I did. what would 1 do to pass the time!'
