Cr;.c cry Undaunted, Play Barons Another Brace
Hainan Shock Absorbers Bumped Twice Yesterday
By Percy 11. Whiting.
TtaHE t 'racki r have been beaten
| so often this year that they're
tin human shuck absorbers:.
Nothing H .ill;, jolt: them. They
might get into a railr, I wreck or '
a dynamite explosion (hat would
agitate them a little; but the mere
matter of losing both ends of a
doubleheader to tile league leaders
doesn’t matter at all. Despite such
an occurrence yesterday, the Crack
ers bob right up again this after
noon ready for another doublehead
er—right in the same spot, if neces
sary. Joe Grim, the Human Punch
ing Bag. never hail anything on
them.
The Barons play their concluding
game of the season here tomorrow.
On Monday and Tuesday only the
Montgomery team is scheduled to
play, Wednesday is one of those
Southern league rarities—a sched
uled off daj. Thursday, Friday ami
Saturday the Gulls play in Atlanta.
Then the Crackers make a quick
jump for New Orleans, where they
open their last stand in the Far
South.
■3 •
The Birmingham team has a tre
mendously useful batting attack.
They bowled 'over the Crackers
with it several times yesterday.
Any time when a couple of men
like Almeida and McGihray are
bunched together on a batting or
der. thei are likely to make trou
ble any <>ld time.
it app -ais to me that Almeida is
easily the best third baseman that
the South 1 rn league enr saw. If
he has a fault, lie has never dis
played i on the Atlanta field. He
is ipiii k as a eat. fields faultlessly,
throw s like i rifle shot, oats like a
dem.ml If ht‘ has a failing, whloh
isn't admitted, it is that lie throws
a hade too hard to bases. He
drove t' 1 ball into second yester
d; . wiib sjiHi-.i enough to telescope
an average baseman. But If this Is
a fault it come... from over-willlng
n .'ini i o' ' aged up against
him in th' bit nf the league.
il'i'i.L ' I new I'raeki r. made
* t ieir hist appearance yester
day. They were Lyom and Dug
glele. Lyon- is n ehunkx bit of a
man. with a fine baseball build and
plenty of -poee He has a moder
ate wing and a useful look at the
plate. Doubtless he w ill do well.
Bill Duggleby pitched a fair sort
of a game against the Barons. His
support wasn't as good as Cracker
. pitchers usually get. md he was up
against ihe stoutest team of the
leag-u’e.
« * •
'T'HE C'- a kei tuns certainly pulled
themselves sideways trying to
get Bill Fiixi n beaten. Their hatred
for him - -uniething pathetic. As

and the,, ini-nJ to keep reminding
liini of i:
Bills sorrowful assortment of
faded curves was at its feeble best
ye-terday and. thanks to good sup
port. he got away with the game.
Rut Itiil is a sorry pitcher. His
action is us tied up as a bundl ■ of
laundry, and how he gets any speed
on the ball continues to be a marvel
to the assembly,
• ♦ *
r pilE frequent arguments that
arise over balls hit under tlie
row of signboards in right field
aren’t really necessary. It has been
agreed that players are entitled to
"what they can get” on balls hit <
there. That makes it necessary for
.the outfielders to do a lot of undig
nified scratching and scrambling
and pawing to get the lin.ll out in
an attempt to hold the runner at
third. Crawling under fences after
the pill Isn’t a legitimate part of
baseball, All this trouble could be
obviated by boarding up below the
signs. Then no ball could go un
der, and every ball which went over
wov.ld be a legitimate home run.

The gate keeper stopped her and
explained courteously that .if she
would go to the ticket window she
could obtain a ticket from the gen
tleman stationed there.
So back went the lady to the
window and announced to Mr. Hill.
“Tiie gate keeper sent me over and
told me to tell you to give me a
t feket."
Whereupon the unsuspecting
“Red," supposing that the lady was
the gate keeper’s wife, or sister, or
something of the sort, handed her
a ticket.
As soon as the rush stopped, he
went over to the gate keeper to col
lect 25 cents for the ticjtet he had
advanced.
The gate keeper proved an alibi.
He had never seen the lady before.
And now "Red” swears he was
robbed. For he had to pay the
quarter out of his own pocket.
Altogether it was Colonel Hill’s
off day. A gentleman approached
the window, bought a ticket and ten
dered a ten-dollar bill. In the rush
a mistake was made in the amount
of change and tin* fan received only
$8.50 instead of the $9.50 to which
he was entitled. He stepped in
front of the window, counted the
money and then came back, de
manded his dollar, and, of course,
got it.
As lie walked away, pushing the
change down in the inside pocket of
his vest and clamping it with a
safety pin, he was heard to mur
mur. sadly. '’They're trying to trim
me already—and it's my first day
in Atlanta.’’
He must have been from Macon.

Green first won a place In the hearts
of Chicagoans by his work as an out

Bill Lange, Dahlen. Callahan and Grif

fast oh his feet and a dangerous hitter.
When the baseball war started Danny

Johnson’s Self-Effacement No Help to Whites
By Ed. W. Smith.
THE self-effacement of John
Arthur Johnson is of no im
mediate help to the white
race. ,
No matter what may be said on
the subject and how the public
may choose to figure out a techni
cal and a tactical reason for put
ting him out of the championship
he remains the champion still and
always will be so regarded.
And another thing sticks out
prominently when we are told to
hope for the early return of su
premacy of the white race. There
are exactly three large, dark clouds
on the horizon that must be tapped
before such a situation can be
brought about.
No White Man Capable.
These clouds are labeled Jean
nette, Langford and McVey. If we
could but find a white man capable
of sloughing either one of them we
might find cause for rejoicing, but
alas and alack, there isn’t a white
person in sight who stands the
ghost of a chance with them.
So what matters it if Johnson
does retire, speaking now of white
hopes? The title may revert to a
white man in time and that man

now those clouds are real clouds
that look too high to be punctured

Means What He Says.
Personally I believe what John
son says about his retirement. I
have reason to know that Jack is
so infernally siek of the grind of
training that it simply makes him
sick to even give thought to it.
And at his age and after his seven
teen or eighteen years of activity
in the ring, some of those years
being mighty lean in a financial
way, he can scarcely be blamed for
feeling that way about it.
During a discusison of lean times
one day out at Las Vegas, Jack
mentioned this, and seemed anx
ious to Impress his hearers with
the sincerity of the thing.
"Why, the first time I landed in
Chicago it was the middle of the
winter and I didn’t have an over
coat. And, believe me, that year it
didn’t even start to get summer

Has Business instincts.
It doesn’t seem possible that they
will ever succeed in breaking John
son, judging from the rare business
acumen and strength he shows in
his dealings in ring affairs. This
trait shifted over to its purpose in
the ordinary pursuits of life should
make Johnson everlastingly and
forever safe from the touch of want.
One must know that Johnson is
pretty sick of the fighting game
when he will deliberately turn his
back upon a pile of $20,000 that he
could gather as easily as he gath
ered his money in Las Vegas a
month or so ago. It doesn’t appear
to be possible to find the man who
has so much money that he doesn’t
care to garner just now a little bit
more, but here’s one man to whom
the lure of the coin amounts to
nothing and is easily turned aside.
Johnson was an unusual cham
pion and It looks as if he would
continue to be unusual. until his
dying day.
MARQUARD MUST PAY $25

CINCINNATI, Aug. 2.—Rube Mar

inning for the Port Chester, N. Y.. in
dependent baseball team.
In so doing, although not in uniform,
the commission holds that he violated
its ruling that no national agreement
player can play with or against out
side clubs during their contract period.
Marquard had telegraphed for per
mission to attend the game, and consid
ered the commission’s consent sufficient
to pitch one inning.
