AT’GUST 8. 1.012. 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. REDS GET PITCHER FRILL. CINCINNATI. OHIO. Aug. B.—The National Baseball Commission ruled that the Cincinnati National league club -.as entitled to the services of Pitcher 1:111. formerly of the Jersey City club of the Internationa! league. The com mission held that Erill belonged to the Si. Louis National leagm club, and that St Louis acted within its rights in re calling tin player from Jersey City and releasing him to Cincinnati QUITMAN IS VICTORIOUS. QI'ITMAN GA.. Aug. 8 -The win ning game of the series fell to Quit man y-s:.rday against Brunswick. 12 to 1. Tin Brunswick team plays Way today, while Quitman plays Adel here. 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.

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.
