“Crucial” Game Lost, Locals Must Finish Last
Crackers Will Tackle Volunteers Again Today
By Percy 11. Whiting.
cpHE .Southern I.i-agui s ason
I is narrowing down. When
today's game is out of the
wax but four more playing days
remain for Atlanta. Nashville will
furnish Hie. opposition today anil
tomorroxr. Next Monday the
Chattanooga club opens here foi
a three da.ss' stay. With Widnes
day's game out of the way they’ll
put up the shutters at Poncey
park, nail up the gates and heave
a sigh of relief—not unmingled
with sadness.
It has been aii awful season.
I here are those who. with a little
' neoiiragem, nt. will argue with you
a.- Io whether this xear or last
xear was worse. Personally we
vote right now that this one was
tiie suildi r of the txxn—and the
reason is that it gate so much
greater encouragement at the start.
♦ • *
/\ NE il in.; is encouraging about
th, closing dax s. a n<| t hat j s
that, thanks to tiie fact that no
Atlanta players bought untie' op
tional agreement were recalled and
that some of the new men look
promising, prospects for next year
•' half bail. Bill Simin wii'
have some real ball players left
over from this year's club to be
gin on.
Atlanta lans ask no better first
I' 1.-ein.in than Joe Agler. no better
second baseman and field captain
than Whitey Alperman. and no
mon- promising recruit shortstop
than Harbison. Humpty McEl
veen lias shown most marked im
provement of late and is going,
strong. With the right sort of
start m xt spring he is likely to de
velop into tli’ fast, hard-hitting
third baseman of ills earlier days

fa house, three girls and a pair of
in the Southern. Bailey is a good
enough outfielder for any man's
league. Reynolds, xvilh the Smith
brand of coaching, will become a
cat< her of real repute. Just what
Smith will make out of the pres
ent pitching staff it would be
foolhardy to guess. But certainly
this yotingste, Price looks good.
He has "pep” and willingness, lie
can bat and his first out as a pitch
er was promising’. Recker is an
other man who may be a wonder
under Smith handling. And there’s
no telling what Bill will be able
to do with the rest—but it might
be something big.
At a rough estimate not less
than seven of tills year's tail-end
team should be good enough men
for a pennant winner next year.
«>f course that means that Smith
will have to recrujt eight more
good men from somewhere. But
Bill knows.how. His big league
affiliations ..re strong. And he's
there all the .way.
All in all. it doesn't look so bad
—for 1913, that is.

season and tiie Lookouts had to
lose every one if the Atlantans
were to finish better than "abso
lutely."
But Atlanta lost and Chattanoo
ga won. And the Crackers’ last
fond hope is gone, 'i'he test of
file season is a mere matter of
marking time, with nothing to
win and very, very little to lose.
It was a fine, weird contest, litis
"crucial game." The Crackers un
deniably went out to win it. They
_scored one in tiie second and one
in the third. Then they paused.
Schwartz’s men tallied one in
Hie fourth, .three in tiie fifth and
two in the sixth, picking up a four
run lead. Then they hesitated.
Whereupon the Crackers turned
loose ail they had on fuse and
lambasted him from the pitching
eminence. Also they weren't any
too gentle with his successor, the
diminutive Bair. Anil when the
merry-go-round stuff had ended
the score was again lied. 6 to 6.
The Vols were there with the
knockout punch, however. Or at
any rate they were alert to take
advantage of the Craeke mis
plays. The game was won in, the
seventh. After Perry lim: retlreil
Young laced out a triple. Lindsay
drew four sad ones and then a
double steal was advertised.
Catcher Reynolds answered with
a wild heave to second and Young
eounted. That was enough to win,
as subsequent events proved: but
byway of cinching it Lindsay went
on to third when Harbison heaved
poorly in that direction and scored
when Elliott beat out an infield
hit.
It was a day of tremendous slug
ging. Daley. Elliott, Agler and
Alpefman all laced the ball to good
advantage.
