Crackers, Under Alperman, Are Changed Team
v»-I- •!••+ +•+ •!•••? ❖••J’
Developing Some Real Pep and Spirit at Last
By Percy H. Whiting.
THE Crackers are a different
team! The new, Alperman
managed ball club may not
be any better than that which
played under Hemphill. But it
looked better, anyway—and played
better yesterday.
The old, morose “pep”-less gang
of the earlier part of the season is
gone. In its place is a team with a
lot of life and considerable ap
parent fondness for the work The
long faces, the grouches, the som
berness of the old gang have de
parted. In its place is a club that
Is fighting baseball battles for the
love of the fighting.
Yesterday they fought the Peli
can team to an 8-to-7 victory. Ad
mittedly, it was "town ball." It
had more rough edges than a por
cupine. It was the old biff-bang
stuff, with small science and much
sport. But chiefly of interest is
the fact that the Crackers won. No
matter how many runs the Peli
cans made, and they made a plen
ty, the Crackers always made just
one more. They tied it and untied
it time and again. But always the
Crackers were there with just
enough of the old punch to score
the winning run. And when the
tight pinch came in the first of the
ninth the waivering line of defense
stiffened and held. And the Peli
can attack was thrown back and
battered down.
Also, it looks as though the
Crackers had plenty more of the
same stuff packed away for use to
day and tomorrow and all the rest
of the season.
• • •
jg EFORE the end of the w eek the
Crackers will be considerably
strengthened for the final rush to
the wire. The Atlanta Baseball as
sociation has gone into the thing
deep now. Before the purchases
contemplated now are finished it
will run to $20,000 for the season.
The coming of Kid Howard will
be a grand help. If the "Kid" has
his wing back he will be the won
der of the league. He was a very
marvel last fall. This spring his
arm was pitifully weak and that
not only made him look a boob in
throwing, but it got his goat so
badly that he forgot how to field.
It was on the testimony of "Buck"
Becker, the Washington pitcher,
that Alperman decided to recall
Howard. Becker had seen Howard
play recently and said that his arm
appeared all right.
With Howard on third and McEl
veen In the outfield, the Cracker
team ought to look pretty fair.

rNi'N’T forget one thing -
"Whitey" Alperman is going
to manage the Cracker ball club as
long*ns he is manager The direc
tors gave one manager free rein
ami lr didn't do much for the
cause. Put that hasn't Sickened
them of tin system. The. have
turned the club ov< : to Alperman
just a.- absolutely as they turned it
over to Hemphill. It's up to him.
And as for Alperman. lie's a tol
erably determine < hap himself and
<•: n handle tin players.
It is strongly suspected that the
first thing Alperman will do with
the club will be to reform or fi <
any hard drinkers .Upernmn is a
"Dutchman" and doesn't see any
harm in beer. But he's down on
the old "red eye." and he is like>\
to deal harshly with the Lushers on
the club. He hasn't made any
particular threats, but It is noted
that the conuumptfon of tye juice
has fallen off very sharply.
Another good point about Alper
man Is that he Is able to handle his
pluyers without friction He do< su't
bellev, In "bawling ’em out." H>
doesn t object to a tfliow of good
. spirit- bj his men, however, and
l*n t likely to fine anybody for a
little good-natured kidding on the
bench.
* ♦ ♦
A LPERMAN is making no an
nouncements about the players
he is after, but it is strongly sus
pected that he needs pitchers.
When a club is batting hard and
yet is losing games steadily thd
pitchers are usually at fault. Os
course. In this case the Crackers
aren’t altogether to blame. For
they' have the unhappy faculty’ of
making more hits for less runs
than any team that has played here
in a long time. This has been
partly due to slowness and bad
judgment, on bases, partly to hard
luck. However, there have been t;
peck of games this season when
the Crackers have made from two
to six runs before the other team
even got started—and then lost.
And that has been because of
weakness in the pitching staff.
Just which pitchers are to be let
out is hard to say. The wo: k of
the staff has been so erratic of late
that it is hard to tell which is en
titled to the coin and which to the
can.

But that was before Rudolph
Waldorf broke into baseball.
Now, if the said Rudolph ever
gets one fair wallop at that ball
and starts it for the bull, the ani
mal will shortly be minus a rib.
Never before has there been such
a walloper on the Atlanta club.
The big guy stands way over six
feet tall dnd must weigh along to
ward 200 pounds. He takes one
of those wind-mill wallops at the
pill. And when he hits it the ball
flattens out—but it goes a mile.
Yesterday in batting practice
Waldorf batted everything that
came his way. A couple of wallops
he bounced off the back fence for
sure home runs. A half dozen more
were long enough for three bag
gers. A dozen were good for two
baggers. And he didn’t hit any
singles.
Mark this prediction—that big
bully is going to knock three home
runs in the first game he finds a
pitcher to his liking.

Matty Is Greatest of All Pitchers—-Chief Meyers
•J-**!’ •.-•4 1 •!•••!• <•••{• +••s■
u His Fine Control Makes Catching a Delight”
By John (“Chief”) Meyers.
WHO is the biggest man in the
game of baseball, from the
popular viewpoint?
The pitcher.
Whom do the fans talk about
when they’re reading their papers
on the way home from business at
night, or on their way downtown in
the morning?
The pitcher—the man who “had
them swinging like gates;” the man
who “stood them on their heads;”
the man who fooled them so that,
as the saying goes, "they couldn’t
hit the ground with their bats.”
Working behind the plate, as I
have, for a few years, I have been
able to study a few of these pitch
ers and to become pretty familiar
with the pitching game as a gen
eral proposition. And now I’m go
ing to try and tell a little bit about
some of the pitchers I have worked
with, and how they work.
I don't want to get too eloquent;
but I would like to say that if you
take all the pitchers in the world,
and all the “stuff” they’ve got, and
roll up all their careers into one
and then look the product over,
you’ll find one man —and one name
—sticking out.
I don't think I need to mention it.
I can hear a chorus of fans .'ill over
the country—friendly or hostile —
speaking it:
Christy Mathewson.
There's no comparison between
Matty and any pitcher that ever
tossed a ball, or. in my opinion,
that ever will toss a ball. He's
the old master, the perfect artist.
I think that every person who ever
saw him start will agree with me
that when he takes the box It must
be realized that the finished prod
uct, the best ever, is at work.
Tn the club I’ve often said to the
boys: "Why, I could catch Matty
sitting in a rocking chair." That
might sound to an outsider like
loose talk. But it’s true. I could.
I'd do it on a bet. Here’s the rea
son: He has perfect-control.
When I'm working with Matty I
know that there’s to be no hag
gling over batters. I mean, no sig
naling by me. then negative shak
ing of the head by him, then an
other sign from me, and perhaps
another "nix" from him. He knows
just what he’s doing all the time.
He knows the weaknesses of oppos
ing batters better than his catcher
does. He's the boss of the battery,
and yet a chummy boss, a pal, all
through the game.
Curve Ball His Mainstay.
The best thing that Mathewson
has—which may be a surprise to
the casual baseball reader—is his
curve ball. The way Matty works
is to spring his curve—-a big curve
which starts to carve all of a sud
den —on a batter as soot) as our
club is" In any kind of a hole. He
lets the batter know that he "has
something." And, having fooled the
batter once, he generally fools him
again.
In some cases, where, for in
stance, a very clever fellow will ex
pect Matty to switch to another
ball, he’ll send the same one over
again. ’Or, with a fellow not so
clever, and who's looking for a re
peater, he'll switch to a straight,
fast one.
And, once the sort of hall is de
cided upon between Matty and my
self. I know it's going to be right
where it’s marked for. I won't have
to dig down In the dirt or go up in
an aeroplane after it. 1 think Mat
ty could put up a silver dollar on
a barn door and bing it every time
from the regulation distance.
There has been a lot of talk
about Matty's "fadeaway" ball. I’ll
tell a little Inside "stuff” about that.
The "fadeaway" is, In plain words,
an indrop curve. It is a ball that
comes up to the plate straight, and,
Just as the batter swings, slowly
reverses itself (with the “reverse
English” of a pool or billiard ball)
and falls down and away from the
batter.
Summing up a comment of Mat
ty, the Old Master, I would say that
he is the greatest of all because of
these reasons: His curves, his fade
away. his common sense in not
working too hard when he doesn’t
have to, and, above all, his superb
control.
I am coming next to a speed
pitcher—-Rube Marquard. But be
fore we get to him I want to say a
word about another man who has
thrown, in my belief, the fastest
balls that ever crossed a plate. I
don’t except Rusie or any of the
other old-timers who were sup
posed to serve very smoky balls.
I refer to Walter Johnson, now with
the Washington club of the Ameri
can league. It may be news to
some fans that I used to catch him.
We had an exhibition series in
California a few years ago—All Na
tionals versus All Americans —and
Walter and I were the battery for
the Nationals. Tlie way that boy
could throw! Why, after handling
him I’d almost be willing to do the
circus stunt of catching the cannon
ball shot out of the big gun with
nothing on but my old mitt. I think
Johnson is the speediest pitcher
that ever tossed one up to the plate.
The palm of my mitt hand used to
be red and sore from taking his fast
ones.
Marquard Improving Steadily.
But we are talking of Marquard
now, whom I know better and more
recently. There is a young/fellow
who has made a world’s record for
consecutive victories, and who is
getting better all the time. I think
I can tell something about the Rube
which even the baseball experts do
not know—the principal reason why
he can fool so many batters and
win so many games.
He has speed, of course; that’s
one of his big assets. And he has
mighty good curves. And recently
he has splendid control. But to my
mind, the Rube’s one big winning
play is his “wind-up,” or "motion,”
as we call it.
He has a long swing, from which,
all of a sudden, the ball snaps out,

Ricjui,
and before the batter knows it it's
in my mitt. Many spectators, no
doubt, think that a “wind-up” is an
affectation, a pose by the pitcher.
But it’s not. It’s intended prima
rily and mainly to fool the batter,
to get him looking at the pitcher's
"motion,” and then shoot one over
before he realizes it.
John McGraw, our manager,
knows this very well. When a
"scout” comes in reporting that he
has discovered a new pitcher that
looks good, one of the first things
Mac asks him is: "How*is his mo
tion?”
Marquard has the best and most
deceiving motion before delivering
the ball of anybody in the big
leagues, I think.
Marquard also has a lot of con
fidence now. It used to be that he
couldn’t even pitch to batters at
practice in the morning. They used
to kick and holler and say:
"Here’s that Rube again; we're
going to get beaned.”
Josh Devore, who doesn’t like a
left-handed pitcher, would throw
away his bat and try to duck. And
the boys w'ould bawl Marquard out
—which didn’t help him any, of
course.
But now he’s got confidence >n
himself, and he’s got all the fellows
pulling for him, and we’d rather
have him than any one else serv
ing them up to us in practice. Os
course, he’s got the curves and
everything else that go to make
up a splendid pitcher. He should
last for years and be one of the
best the game ever knew.
