’HE Crackers of 1913 haven't any
sense at all.
, winning a game
a day and never
losing any at all
And the first
thing they know
they'll break up
the league and
all he out. of
job.
Never before
did such a fool,
hardy collection
of athletes pla\
in a Southern
League town.
And never be
fore did a team
get such a start
as Atlanta has
made.
Five in a row-
and nothing in
sight to indicate that they aren't
going to make it five more!
And all because Bill Smith has
gathered unto Atlanta the gosh ding-
dest ball club that ever wielded bat
and hall in old Dixie Major
The way the Crackers promise right
now to walk away with the pennant
will make the memory of that won
derful Pelican team of Yellow fever
year pale into mauve Insignificance.

<<TF my pitchers come through," re-
1 marked Col William Andrew
Smith prior to the opening of the
season, “you can say for me we have
a ball club."
Well, the pitchers are coming
through—BIG.
Look over the pitchers and the hits
they have allowed this season:
Against Chattanooga, April 10—9.
Against Chattanooga. April 11—5.
Against Chattanooga, April 12—2.
Against Birmingham. Monday—4.
Against Birmingham, yesterday—2.
Think over these facts:
The vaunted and vaunting Barons, I
including that prince of sluggers, Bill
McGilvray, have acquired six hits in
two games.
In five games Cracker pitchers have
allowed an average of 4 2-5 hits a
flame.
In two games Gilbert Price has
given up 7 hits, an average of 3 1-2
to a game.
* * *
"DILL SMITH’S pitchers have started
coming through. Of course what
they do in the opening days of the
season, with weather conditions
awful, is not ronedtisive.
But bless 'em, they all look mighty
good.
If they continue coming Bill Smith
will make a fright of the pennant
race.
Ordinarily all Bill Smith asks is a
smart fielding team, pitchers and one
man who can hit the ball. Well, he
has the smart fielders and the use
ful pitchers, AND ON TOP OF THAT
SIX DANGEROUS HITTERS.
Will he win the pennant?
Maybe not, of course. But look
what a start he will make!
A lot of managers are superstitious
about winning early games. Bill
Bernhardt made a great start last
year and kicked about It. He said
it was bad luck.
Bill Smith is about as superstitious
as a Belgian block. "All the game
wp win now go to our credit. If they
come easy now so much the better.
They may not be coming so easy in
August. Go to it."
And the club is going.
O LD BILL FOXEN, who hadn't osi
a game to Atlanta since he was
fired by the Crackers, and charged
with, being a "lay--down." took a de
feat yesterday. He was* beaten in
the first inning and murdered in the
sixth. In the seventh he retired in
favor, of Carl Thompson.
And let it be said of Foxen, those
beet informed have never believed the
“lay-down" charge. He was hooked
up with one of the worst teams of all
civilized baseball. Mathewson, John
son Marquard, Rucker and Rube
Waddell, the be-t day he ever lived
would have looked like lay-downs
with the Crackers of 1911.
But anyhow the fans have never
forgiven Bill and they hooted with
bad sportsmanship and high glee yes
terday when Molesworth yanked his
former star ami sent in Thompson.
Then the Crackers, to show that
thev weren't holding anything against
Foxen, romped over Thompson as
they had romped over the ex-Cub
It- took an adding machine to get
it all straightened out at the con-
elusion of the festivities, at which
time it was officially determined that
the score was 11 to 0 in favor of At
lanta.
Price pitched a marvelous same.
Two hits were made off his delivery,
and they were clean ones. But that
was all At no time did there-appear
any particular likelihood ttiat a Baron
was due to score.

F REDDIE WELSH, Binglish lightweight champion, aud Joe Thomas, the
most promising young lightweight in this neck of the woods, will
probably meet at the Auditorium-Armory on Monday night. May 12.
Thomas has already accepted terms, but the Briton wants a trifle more
than has been offered him. It’s a cinch, however, that both boys will have
affixed their John Hancocks to articles within the next two or three days.
This match will he by far the most classy one ever held on these
shores. Thomas has beaten everybody that he has faced here, including
Frank Whitney, Eddie O’Keefe and Yankee Schwartz. And he has made
Joe Martdot “crawl." Mandot doesn't want any of Thomas' game, and
absolutely refuses to meet him.
Welsh has lost but one battle since he started fighting. That was
when Matt Wells won the English lightweight title from him, February
27, 1911. But Freddie won the crown back from Wells last November.
Right now Welsh is here seeking a battle with Willie Ritchie for the
championship of the world. Ritchie has been dodging the match, but it's
a cinch that the American and the Englishman will hook within the next
few months in a twenty-round bout on the Pacific Coast.
Welsh has fought McFarland to a standstill three times, and Packey
can't be coaxed in the ring with him over a route. Freddie defeated
Ritchie just before the champion defeated Wolgast. That's probably the
reason that Ritchie is trying to dodge the issue right now.
The English lad has also defeated the following: Grover Hayes,
Jimmy Duffey, Matty Baldwin, Jem Driscoll. Pal Moore. Henry Piet, Young
Josephs, Johnny Summers. Phil Brock, Jack Goodman, Johnny Frayne;
knocked out Ray Bronson. Abe Attell. Young Erne, George Memsic, Young
Donahue: stopped Harry Trendall, Johnny Murphy, Charley Neary, Maurice
Sayers, Dave Deshler, M illie Fitzgerald, Tommy Feltz, Willie Moody and
many others.
This will he the first time Atlanta lias had of seeing a champion in
action. But he is likely to find Joe Thomas the toughest young man
he ever faced.
* * *
T HOUGH the men are making the middleweight limit for the contest.
the French promoters are advertising the battle on April 29 between
Frank Klaus, of Pittsburg, and Georges Carpentier, of France, as being
for the middleweight championship of the world. The French evidently
do not pay any particular attention to the matter of poundage. If the
contestants in a battle are within reaching distance of a certain figure
they are satisfied to believe that a contest can he made for the litle in
that division.
Soon after Billy Papke, of Kewanee, Ill., made Georges Carpentier stop
after going seventeen rounds. Carpentier announced that the weight of
160 pounds defeated him, and that henceforth he would not at t inept to
make it. He isn't trying it for Klaus, either, yet the men are supposed to
be milling for the middleweight title. It's a strange situation.
* * *
F ROM the latest reports from Paris, the news that Papke had been
barred for six months for alleged foul work in the Klaus light must
have originated in this country. It appears now that the French pro
moters begged Billy Papke to remain there and make some more battles
during the spring months. They asked him to box Carpentier in May
and Klaus in June, but the condition of Papke's hand would not permit
of his making these contests, and hence he returned to America to rest
until next fall, or possibly make one or two battles around here. From
this it is evident that, there never was any serious talk of suspending
Billy for six months or any other length of time for what happened in
the Klaus battle.

T OHNNY COULON only smiles at the way Sammy Harris, of New York,
J is talking about taking his bantamweight title away from him unless
he signs up to fight Kid Williams, of Baltimore, in thirty days. Johnny
came out of his shell long enough the other day to smile some more and
say a few things about the Eastern pair.. "Harris need not fear that his
man isn't going to get a battle with me,” Johnny writes. "But I am
going to proceed carefully, and intend to take on several minor engage
ments before dabbling with Williams or Cantpi or any of the real good
ones of the class. The floods set my plans back quite a little, as 1 had
at least three matches in sight in that, section of the country. Of course,
they are off now. But I am going to pick up some others, and after I am
through with them. I'll talk to Mr. Harris.”
• • *
G UNBOAT SMITH didn't knock out George Rodel in the second
meeting last week, but he gave the Boer a trouncing that he won't
forget. We glean from some of the stories of the contest that though
Smith knocked Rodel do,wn live times he meiely "shaded " him. For
the love of Mike, whatever could Rodel have done to stand off those
five Brodies that he did to the canvas? And what do New York fight
critics expect a man to do to actually win by a safe margin instead of
merely "shading" an opponent?
* • •
D AN M'KETRICK, now handling Frank Moran, the Pittsburg heavy
weight, is campaigning wildly for a match for his man with G.
Smith. The latter bested Moran in a twenty-round battle on the Coast
when Moran, they claim, was ill and far from being at his lies! Dan
is some dandy little booster for his man, and if he doesn't force Smith
into a return match, he can at least credit himself with making a super
lative effort.
• » *
J OE RIVERS seems to have just about met his match in this dentist
person, Leach Cross, who has been so good in each of their scraps that
the Mexican could not whip him. Rivers never before tailed to whip
any opponent in two trials, so Cross must be exceptionally good. The
result of their second battle in New York makes it necessary for them
to fight a third time, and next time they meet it should be over the
derby route to a referee's decision. On the two battles with Rivers and
the one with Joe Mandot. the dentist is entitled to considerable attention
as a contender for the lightweight championship. Undoubtedly he will
regain all his old-time prestige with New York fans and probably will
be matched up with Willie Ritchie over the no-danger route some time
early in the summer.
Cross has ranked for a long time as the best lightweight in the East,
but he probably nevei showed as much class lu his life a3 he lias ev
liibited in the last six months. He retired from the ring for a short
time and then came back with a vengeance. Just now he is the king
pin of the Eastern colony. ±
IN FIFTEENTH
y US ANGKLES, CAL.. April 16.
^ Once again little “Kayo” Bio.vn
lay on the floor of the ring - here to
night. blinking blindly at the arcs
jarcs above him. when his finish
came.
Brown, the real ‘iron man" of *he
boxing game, was* beaten by “Bud”
Anderson in the fifteenth round, aftet
taking a prolonged whipping, one
sufficient to have tamed a whcfcle
menagerie.
Referee fiyion stopped the one
sided contest when it became, ap
parent that "Dumb Dan" Morgan In
tended seeing his boy "slabbed” hi
preference to acknowledging an hon
est defeat by tossing in the sponge.
From beginning to end Brown was
hut a punching bag for the clean-
hitting Anderson.
Anderson actually wore himself 10
a state bordering on exhaustion by
his rapid-fire execution. At long
range "Bud" kept tilting Broun off
his balance. In the clinches he placed
jabs and solid thumps to the head,
the body and kidneys.
The first knockdown came in the
thirteenth. “Kayo" getting up without
waiting for a count. Three times .n
the fourteenth he was knocked clown
for the full count. In the fifteenth
he sprawled on the floor twice while.
Eyton was counting ami watching
for a signal of surrender from Brown’s
corner. With the third knockdown
Brown ha/I been beaten to a state?
of helplessness and the referee, with
a scornful look in the direction of
“Kayo’s” heartless handlers, raised
Anderson’s hand.

usually a strong hitter, lambasted the
ball to deep, deep right field. The ball
landed within two feet of the row of

Baldwin. th« veteran Boston
boxer who at one time was a
match for any «>f the lightweight
brigade, \\a # s a very easy mark for
Jack" Britton, the clever Chicago
fighter, last night at the St. Nicholas
Rink.
It was nothing mole than a vvann-
inx up for the Chicago man and he
left tht ring after the tenth round
scarcely puffing.
Baldwin's mouth was pretty well
battered up from the hundred and
one left jabs he stopped, but he wa?
far from being seriously damaged.
Baldwin weighed 135 pounds and Brit
ton 133 3-4.
The bout was 21 monotonous one to
watch. There was no variety in it.
In the first hound “Jack" jabbed “Mat
ty" just about as often as he « al’ed ‘o
and split ^s lip in the first half min
ute. After this Baldwin's face was a
study in different tints of red. He
was no pretty sight to look at. but
Britton could not make his smile come
off. In the opening period Baldwin
stopped about one left jab a second.
Preceding this bout, "One Round"

Hogan was the better boxer, but lie
