Well, Anyhow, the Finish is Brilliant-Crackers Win Two SISSON MAKES DEBUT; PRICE PITCHES WELL WELL, anyhow, the local base ball season went out with a big splash. Maybe you’ll recall that the opening came just five months ago yesterday. The Crackers’ opponents that day were the Lookouts. And Atlanta began this dolorous' season with a de feat. 9 to 7. In that famous game Miller was outpitched and the Crackers were outfielded and out generaled. Well, the finish was better than the beginning. Just five months to the day after that wretched open ing of Atlanta’s most immemorial season, the Crackers kicked in with the final performance on local grounds. And, marvel of marvels, the Crackers won both games. Being bitten by a stone dog wouldn’t have been any more sur prising. The first game the Crackers won by a score of 2 to 1. Becker was , learly outpitched by Grover, even If the Washington man did hurl a game calculated to win. The Look out recruit just naturally pitched better ball, but two errors in his support cost him the game. The Crackers played brilliantly behind Becker.

In that inning the whole Chattanooga team gave way with a sickening plump and the Crackers put over three runs and cinched the game. ♦ * * p ROBABLY the big event of the a day was the debut of Outfielder Sisson, the man from Columbus, Ga. This graduate from Jim Fox’s team lived up to all the advance notices about his fielding. He is surely there. That he can hit in the Southern has yet to be proved. It is a shade doubtful, perhaps. However, Cracker fans will be only too ready to be convinced, for they liked the way the man handled himself. He may prove another Roy Moran. The pitching of Price was an other thing that was encouraging. That lad will bear watching next year. He is a useful little port sider. * * * THE Crackers have left for Mem phis, where they wind things up.

There is a certain amount of consolation in the fact that the Crackers can’t possibly finish worse this year than any other team ever did before. In fact, barring the Montgomery team of 1910, which finished last with the amazingly high standing of .434, and the Nashville team that did al most equally well in 1907, with .431, the Crackers will end the sea son (if their luck holds) with a standing better than the tail-end ess did in 1901, 1902, 1903, 1904, 1905, 1906. 1908, 1909 and perhaps better than the Crackers did in 1911. By a coincidence the Crack ers have the same per cent today that Otto Jordan's tail-enders did at the end of the 1911 season. - In fact, if this is any consola tion —which it isn't—three teams which have finished next to last in years past (Birmingham in 1901, Nashville in 1905 and the same team the following year) had a standing as bad or worse than the Crackers have at present.

Sept. 12.—The last ball games of the season of 1912 will he the three played on Sanford field to day. tomorrow and Saturday between the invincible Southern railway team of Atlanta and a local team composed of the best players In Athens and among the Georgia university boys. The line-up of the Atlanta bunch will embrace Harrison, Donaldson, Bart lett, Herndon, Holliday, Hewell, Askew, Ayers, Kimball. Jones, Pruitt, Lowery and Skipworth. The appearance of Donaldson and Bartlett will be of es pecial interest here as Bartlett was a Red and Black star last year—captain of the Georgia team. Donaldson will enter Georgia this fall, it is understaad, and will be a candidate for a place on the 1913 team.
