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.

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. si HAT the football season isn't t n a wiij wn < indicated yester day by tin presence in the Atlanta press hu\ of J. \v Heisman, "Bo"' Williams ami Dean Hill.

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.

ONCE A DIAMOND STAR, DYING CHICAGO, Aug, 2.—Friends and ad mirers of Danny Green, for years an idol at the West and South Side ball parks, will be grieved to learn that he is confined in the Cook county infir mary at Oak Forest and that hope of ais getting better has been given up. Tuberculosis Is Danny's eomplaJnt. He has been ill for two years, but it was not until a month ago that he gave jap and yielded to his friends' pleading that he go to a hospital. Green first won a place In the hearts of Chicagoans by his work as an out fielder on the West Side team when Bill Lange, Dahlen. Callahan and Grif fith were members of the club. He was fast oh his feet and a dangerous hitter. When the baseball war started Danny jumped from the Wist to the South Side and took a regular job In the White Si x outfield. Later he went to Milwaukee and when his league days Were oi er played on se i 1-pro teams here.

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 NEWS FROM RINGSIDE Al Palzer and Tom O’Rourke have patched up their trouble, according to re ports from Gotham. It is said O’Rourke will be seen in Palzer’s corner when the big ‘hope” tights again. « * « Tommy Buck, who was knocked out by Frankie Fleming at the Garden Athletic club in New York July 22, is in a serious condition at a Philadelphia hospital.

But just now those clouds are real clouds that look too high to be punctured by any' of the white men aviating in that general direction. 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 time until along In August,” he said.

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 FOR PITCHING ONE INNING CINCINNATI, Aug. 2.—Rube Mar quard, star pitcher of the New York Nationals, was fined $25 by the national baseball commission for pitching one inning for the Port Chester, N.

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. CORSYTH ) ■ Mlanta’sßusiestThealer j Tor.ight B:3# ‘ STELL?
