j
Ag/er, Becker, Bailey and and Harbison May Leave Local Team
RECALL WILL ROB CRACKERS OF STAR PLAYERS
By Pe ’ey H. Whiting.
ONE of the saddening fea
tures of the closing days of
this most doleful of baseball
seasons Is the fact that big league
recalls w ill rob the Cracker team of
several of Its best players this fall.
At least four or five will be called
higher, over the optional agree
ment route, before the season ends.
One man sure to go back for an
other big league trial is Joe Agler.
Joe’s hitting hasn't been "big
league" this year, but his fielding
has, and Charley Murphy is sure to
call for him. if for no other reason
than that he will try. next spring,
to sill him back to Atlanta or to
some other club at an iwlvanee of
price. Joe will hardly make a big
league player unless his batting im
proves a bit-—which it might easily
do-—but he is bound to be a shining
star in the A and AA leagues.
Another man whose going will
cause regret is “Buck" Becker, w ho
belongs to the Washington club.
Manager Clark Gritilth has already
notified President Callaway, in
formally. that he plans to recall
the man and to give him another
trial next spring. There is doubt
w hether Becker Is ripe for the big
leagues yet. But at that he comes
mighty near it. It will not be sur
prising at all if he Is carried on the
Washington staff next year.
The fate of Rudolph Waldorf is
in doubt. The opinion is now that
Charley Murphy will leave him here
for further seasoning He hasn't
been a big winner with Atlanta,
and his work on paper hasn’t been
impressing. Manager Alpcrman
says, however, that if he can get
him at the first of next season he
will make a ball player out of him
sure. He says the man just reek-s
with ability and that all that is
necessary Is to steady him down
and teach him where the plate Is
located.
There seems a fair chance that
the Yankees will refrain from ex
ercising their otion on Harry Bai
ley If this happens the Crackers
can thank their lucky stars that
Harry's batting slumped a bit just
at the fag end of the season. It he
had kept going at a 300 clip, as he
was before the Crackers got ut
terly to pieces, he would have been
recalled surely As It is. he Is in a
bit of a slump now. and there is a
strong likelihood that the Yankees
will let him stay
• • •
| T will be a matter of surprise if
1 some big leagm club dot s not buy
"Dug" Harbison The chap Is as
promising an infielder as has been
turned up in the Southern league
In moons. He has fielding ability
cleverness and a punch. It is al
most a certainty that some big
I’ ague club will take a chance with
him this fall
jy ECKER. Bailey, Agb r and Har
bison are four men the Crackers
can't well afford to lose
If both Agler and Harbison go.
the Crackers will have just one man
| hft around whom to start building
an infield next spring. This one is
EDITED W. S FARNgWRTH
Alperman. McElveen proved disap
pointing at third and may be shift
ed to the outfield next season. So
Manager Alperman must find men
who can play first, short and third
—w hlyh is some contract.
]y/J-' YISE ,tl, ‘ outfield will not fur
nish a problem next spring!
\\ Ith Bailey gone, not an outfielder
will have a position cinched. Lyons,
the new man from "Hoptown," may
or may not do. He hasn't been at it
long enough yet so that we can tell.
Callahan will furnish another prob
lem. Ihe Crackers will surely
never carry him another season un
less his batting improves. And yet
there is every reason to suppose
that it may improve a lot next year
\\ hether or not McElveen can
develop into a. good outfielder, he
will be given a chance to demon
strate next year. If Mack should
get In •( hitting stride, he ought to
make good.
One department ( is not causing
much worry—the catching staff.
Graham has improved steadily. He
is a useful catcher. His side part
ner. Reynolds, is Inexperienced in
rapid company, but shows a peck of
promise.
The pitching staff will need a
world of strengthening before next
season. It is probable that a lot of
the pitcher- who have shown so |
miserably this year would have
LOUISVILLE ASKS 2-CLUB
LEAGUE IM CELLAR WAR
I.oj ISAILI.E. Aug s. suggestion
has been made by a number of Louis
ville fan.- which they contemplate put
ting up to -the association authorities.
Their plan is to have two divisions for
th< association race. One division is to
consist of Louisville and Indianapolis,
the other of the other six clubs. There
will be two :aces, om- between the oth
•*t clubs for first j.dace and one between
Louisville and Indianapolis for last
place. In this way the struggle be
tween Louisville and Indianapolis for
tie- cellar will be given dignity ami an
aloofness that it does not now possess.
It will be a real fight instead of a
trail. The Louisville tans have also
not: ed a new habit the Colonels are
formin:;. It is a habit of-winning on
Sunday . They wm a game last Sunday
and one the Sunday before. It is be
lieved the Colonels have determined to
win every Sunday game, even if they
lose ,y( r\ other day. By keeping this
up thy will be assured of some per
centage at the close of each season.

done well with a strong team. But
there is no use of taking any
chances, and the Cracker club will
have to strengthen with the addi
tion of four or five real pitchers
before next season starts.
• * •
'pHERE is one consolation —the
Crackers have a couple of play
ers they can recall. The best-of
them is Erskine Mayer. "The Scis
sors” has done wonders in the Vir
ginia league. There is great likeli
hood. however, that he will not be
with the Atlanta team for training
next spring. Mayer has done so well
this year that some big league club
is almost certain to buy him or to
draft him this fall.
Another player the Crackers will
call back is "Kid" Wolfe. This lad,
yanked out of a Job as shipping
clerk and planted on the Atlanta
diamond this year, absolutely with
out professional or semi-profes
sional baseball experience, looked
mighty good. He has had a year
of experience now in league ball.
Next spring he ought to be a useful
citizen. He certainly knows how to
field a ball.
The Crackers have a few other
players planted here and there, but
Mayer and Wolfe seem to be the
only ones who make any difference.
Ira Hogue looked like a star when
he was turned back this year, but
I he hasn’t done anything this sea
son. and seems to be hopeless.
CUNNINGHAM WILL SOON
CALL OUT FOOTBALL MEN
ATHENS, GA.. Aug. 8. —The football
team of the University of Georgia will
be called together within the next two
weeks. W. A. Cunningham, who was
last spring appointed head coach of
football and baseball for a term of four
years, has returned from Ann Arbor,
where he took summer work at the
I nfversity of Michigan, and will soon
gather his football candidates together
at Judge McWhorter’s summer home for
lectures and light work. The squad will
return to Athens early in September
and get down to business.
BRENNAN OF PHILLIES
DEVELOPS DIPHTHERIA
PHILADELPHIA. Aug. Conste,-
nation reigns in the Philadelphia Na
tional league club as a result of Pitcher
Brennan developing a ease of diphthe
ria and being quarantined.
Not only will this prevent him from
taking part in any game for some time,
but Grover Cleveland Alexander, the
mainstay of Dooin's pitching staff, who
has been living with Brennan, may also I
be affected.
The disablement of these two stars,
admittedly the best pitchers the club J
possesses now. will materially affect the
Philadelphia*' chances of remaining in
the first division.
MADISON BEATS ELBERTON
MADISON, GA.. Aug. B.—Madison
took the second game of the series
from Elberton, fi to 5. Madison se
cured nine hits, Elberton four. P. Bur
rus-, for Madison, put the ball over the
left field fence in the seventh.
Not a Chance of Johnson Ever
Returning to Ring, Says Smith
By Ed. W. Smith.
CHICAGO, Aug. 8. —His first
real sensations of “being a
real man" proved too strong
for Jack Johnson. That’s why he
announced his retirement and fol
lowed it up with the further state
ment that he meant to stay retired.
Few can take the big athlete's
statement as being sincere, but it
certainly looks as if Johnson is the
one champion yvho will retire and
stay retired with the title.
He ha- found that a real untram
meled life, free from the thought of
diet and without restraint as far as
smoking and drinking are con
cerned, and with no conscientious
pangs of remorse at the possibility
of loss of athletic power, is the
only life for him, after eighteen
years of struggling to attain the
top rung of the ladder. He wants
now to drink a bottle of beer or
smoke a cigar when he pleases and
the rest of it can go hang.
Business Too Good, Too.
Hence the retirement. Further,
business is so good Just now and
the coin is rolling in so freely that
he doesn’t care a rap for all of the
fat purses that could be hung up.
He's through, that's all.
And another fact is patent to

those who know Jack pretty well.
The longer he is retired, and the
stronger becomes the lure of this
thing of "being a real man.” the
less chance there is of his coining
back, or even trying to. Jack looks
upon the prospects of training
again with the horrors that a. man
must feel who has been sentenced
to the gallows. It is actually as
bad as that with most athletes who
attain the age that Johnson has
and try to retain their form.
It's entirely unnatural for a man
of such age to enter into the rigors
of load work, and they feel the
keenest distress when starting in
and during the early stages of th.
struggle with stiffening muscles
and limbs and arms that no longer
respond to the • commands of the
b:ain the way they used to.
