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 Crai kens’ 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 f'raiikers kicked in with the final performance on local grounds. And, marvel of marvels, : lie 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 clearly outpitched by Grover, even if the Washington man did hurl a game calculated to win. The Look out recruit just naturally pitched better bajl, but tyvo errors in his support cost him the game. The Crackers played brilliantly behind Recker. In the second game Price pitch- I THE BASEBALL CARD 1 SOUTHERN LEAGUE. Games Today. Xew < trleans in Mobile, i inly game scheduled. Standing of the Clubs. \V 1,. P.C. | W. L. P.C.

Allen worked against Price and did fairly well except in the fifth. In that inning the whole t’hattanooga team gave way with a sickening plump and the Crackers put over three runs and cinched the game. , * • • p ROBABI.Y th’ fig event of the * fiay 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 bet|t’ watching next year. He is a useful little port sider.

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 Sl,ma#inglj 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 ers did in 1901, 1902. 1903. 1904. 1905, 1906. 1908, 1909 and perhaps better than the Crackers did in 1911. By a coincidence the <’lack ers have the same per cent today that Otto Jordan’s tail-eriders 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 (blowing year) had a standing as bid or worse than the Crackers have at present.
