TENN \ug. 30.—Brady and Priest will b» the opposing mound men in the second game of the series between the Crackers and Ix»ok outs The fact that Atlanta lost yesterday has not discouraged the Gate city warriors in the least, and f r the first time In weeks they dis played some fighting spirit this morning as they lounged around the hotel. They a”e confident of win ning today, again tomorrow, and thereby cop the long end of the The Lookouts captured the first game nf the struggle yesterday by a srore <>f 4 to 1. The home team’s Polish battery. Cnvaleskie and Gid no. proved altogether too good for Whitey Alperman's misfits. It was toe Lookouts' first victory in ten games, ton. Johnson Pitched Well. Lyman Johnson hurled for the Crackers, and really hurled a very useful game, but errors cropped out in his support at critical times, and when the Lookouts mixed some timely hits with them, runs were scored. The Crackers were a trifle too daring on the base lines, and would probably have scored more than one run had they not attempted to stretch hits or go an extra station on an error, good pegs cutting them down. Joe Agler offended twice in this respect. Harbison once. The interest In the game was In tense, and when It was seen that the rival hurlers were twirling lust about the same b and of baseball, the fans sat bark and waited for something to break The sefme thlng was the Atlanta support. Bailey’s Work Feature. Harry Hailey's great running catches in left field were easily the feature of the game He made a critical error on a fly by Coyle, but he robbed Mickey of an extra ba hit a few Innings later, nnd electri fied the* crowd by raving to the flag pole in left center and rapturing Grav’s long drive that looked good fnr a homer Coyle’s first base play was tin feature from a Chattanooga stand point. The Crackers counted their only tally In the second inning. McEl veen heat out a slow roller to third. Reynolds walked; Humpt y was forced at third on Callahan’s roller Wolfe kicked in with a ’ timely blngle and Reynolds scored. Barr’s Double Costly. In their half of the same inning, J the Lookouts scored th** runs that I really won the game. With one gone, Giddo drew a ticket Cova leskie was retired by (’a Ila han after a hard run in deep center Coyle flew to left, but Bailey dropped it and both hands were safe. Bari cut loose with a two-sacker, on which the two runners counted. With one gone in the sixth. Glddo walked. Covaloskle forced him at second. Harry went to second on a wild pitch and counted when Coyle drove out a single. In the seventh, again after one was gone, a man walked. This time it was Balenti. Moran went out. but Jordan kicked In with a single that sent the chief home wa rd. HANDSOME BOY BREAKS TRACK RECORD AT MACON MACON. GA . Aug 30.

Last Spark of Cracker Hope Now Extinguished Smith’s Men Did It, But Nobody Blames Bill By Percy H. Whiting. IE ever a faint hope existed that the Crackers might take a fall out of Chattanooga, pass the Lookouts and escape the ignominy of finishing last, that hope is dead —dead as a petrified pterodactyl. It w as assassinated yesterday aft ernoon when the Lookouts downed the Crackers handily in the first game of the series in Chattanooga, t to 1.

Eor in the seventeen years he has been a manager he has never before finished worse than sixth. And only three times before has he finished in the second division. * COUNTERPART of Bill Smith's managerial career has proba bly never before been known in baseball. Certainly its equal is not to be found in minor league history. In the first place.

Yosnihito. expressing hope that the cordial relations which have prevailed between the Vatican and To kio in the past shall continue. Em peror Yo-hihito assured the pope that nil '‘athoiii missions on Japanese soil would be accorded the fullest protec tion. as a manager at the tender age (speaking from a baseball slant) of 25. Stranger still, he secured his first job as manager when he had been playing baseball hut two years. Imagine starting "Dug" Harbi son or "Kid” Howard off next spring as a manager. Yet they have had two years experience and they are nearly the age of Bill Smith when he started. Perhaps more marvelous still, this Ohio kid bumped right into a hot race in the Virginia league _ and as manager of Lynchburg he finished second. The next year, his fourth in baseball and his sec ond «as manager, he won a pen nant. Some managers have been In baseball twenty years without having the good fortune that came to Bill Smith his second year out.. In all, Bill Smith has won five pennants in seventeen years. TTERE is Bill Smith's complete record as a manager, giving the year, the team, the league and the positions that Bill's team fin ished : 1595 -Lynchburg. Virginia, sec ond. 01'6 Lynchburg. Virginia, first, IS97—-Norfolk. Atlantic, third. 1898 — Ottumwa. Western associ ation. fourth. 1899 Knoxville, independent. 1900 — Albany, New York State, third. 1901 — Davenport. Three Eye, third. 1902 — Davenport. Three Eye. | fourth. 1903 — Greenville. Cotton States, I third. 1904 Macon. South Atlantic, first. 1905 — Macon, South Atlantic, first, 1906 — Atlanta. Southern, fhird. 1907 Atlanta, Southern, first. 1908 — Atlanta. Southern, sixth. 1909 Atlanta. Southern, first. 1910 — Buffalo, Eastern, fifth. 1911— Chattanooga, Southern, fifth. ♦ ♦ • A NOTHER record that Rill holds is all his own and is one that nobody will contest with him. Wil liam has, beyond all question, con sumed more tobacco during the playing season than any living manager. Bill hasn't any fixed amount d ,j y nr per game. But he comes to every game provided with two lib eral-sized plugs. If his team'is a winner all the way. he will just nib ble the edges of one of them. If it is a % close contest he will eat : most of both of them. it would be a fair estimate to say that Smith ruins one plug of to bacco a game nnd one more during the course of the day’s business Now. in the last seventeen years Smith has witnessed or played in something like 3,000 games, count ing spring exhibitions, post-season affairs and the like. On a basis of two plugs of tobacco a day, this means that he has worried away close to 6.000 plugs during the playing seasons. Placed end to end, these plugs would measure ’>oo yards—over a | quarter of a mile. Stacked on top of each other, they would rise to a height of 166 I feet. They cost an aggregate of S3OO. Their weight was approximately 750 pounds. As a tobac'<i fiend. Smith stands unequaled. It is his prize dissipa tion. And he goes to it strong. * * * A ’ EH ER chapter in Bill Smith’s career is drawing to an end. It hasn’t been a particularly pleas ing chapter. On October 1 he will turn over a new page, take hold of the team that brought him his i greatest glory and set out on a voy | age of two \ ears duration—with the destination Pennantville—but with reefs, ledges, hurricanes, pi rates and half a million sorts of trouble between him and his tenta tive terminus.
