Yesterday’s Game Was a Fright
R\ IVrey II. Whiting.
O N the time-honored and general
ly accepted hypothesis that it's
a great Idea to get all the errors
and bad plays’ out of one’s system
as speedily ah possible the Crack
ers ought to have fortified themselves
yesterday for a long run of errorless
day*.
They should now start out playing
errorless ball and keep on playing
without niiseue fur ?4x months any
way—maybe for ten years.
And this would be helpful. For to
day the Crackers wind up their first
home sthy with a closing game with
the Barons. To-night they leave for
Nashville for a 4-game series with
BUI Schwartz's hopefuls. When this
b* over they come back to Atlanta
to play until May 1.

BIG LEAGUE GOSSIP
N EW YORK, April 17.—From Washington there comes the story that Walter
Johnson has expressed the fear he may some day kill a player by hitting
him on the head with one of his fast ones. The great pitcher added that
if he should ever hit a batter a blow that turned out fatally he would quit the
game.
When Johnson said this, he expressed the fear which is felt by many big
league pitchers who depend on their speed for their effectiveness. Of course,
lots of Iwirlers could hit the batter In the head as
often as they pleased and little damage would be
done to the head. They rely on curves or the appli
cation of their wits to pitching; to get along. They
lack a fast one. Speed, however. Is the most valuable
possession a pitcher can have, and any man who
can shoot them over fast largely depends on this
asset, mixing In the other forms of delivery only occa
sionally.
Many pitchers have been unnerved when they have
hit batters In the head and knocked them out. I don't
believe there Is a man working in the big league to-day
who would htt a batter In the head purposely, aud,
frequently, twlrlers will shout;
"Look out!”
This is when they realize that the ball Is going
wild as soon as it leaves their hand and want to warn
the hitter. Time and again 1 have seen a pitcher hit
some batter In the head in a ball game which has re
sulted in the Injured man being carried off the field
unconscious, and then the twlrler who did It has blown
up, even though he may have been going like a house
afire before the accident. It is a dread held by all speed
pitchers. Many managers have cotne to recognize it
now, and take a twlrler out Just as soon as he hits
a man and hurts him badly.
■lohnson claimed that one of the New York Ameri
can League team players almost walked Into a fast
one head first during the first contest of the season In
Washington. The narrow escape of the New York
player upset Johnson, and the players say he
crabbed" to Connolly, the umpire, about It for the
rest of the game. This is an unusual procedure for
Johnson. I am told, as he Is one of those pitchers who
seldom complain over the umpiring. It was afterward
that Johnson made the remark about his fear of hit
ting a player some day and the result being fatal.
Once last summer the big Washington pitcher
"beaned" Martin, a recruit shortstop of the Yankees,
and he was carted off the field and was out of the
game for a Jong time. It was feared, at first, that
the injury might be serious, and it Is said the accident
upset Johnson greatly and hurt his pitching for some
time.
* * *
M ANY players are hit In the head when the coach-
ers are trying to tip off signs to the batters.
If the hitter is given notice that the pitcher may be
expected to throw one kind of a ball and he suddenly
meets another, the result Is uncertain. It may be
too late for an ambulance. A man cannot very well
stand up and set himself to hit at a curve ball and
pull back In time to duck a fast one—with a hop on
it toward him. That is the reason most managers
consider It dangerous to attempt to read the signs.
1 had one experience of this sort, myself, several
years ago. It was when Kagle Eye Jake Beckley
played on the Cincinnati club, and I bad more smoke
on my fast one then than there Is now Beckley was
a good natural hitter, but he liked to have the signs
tipped off to him. The coacher at third base was
supplying him with information one day I was pitch
ing, and we got on to it. We switched our signs,
and the next inning Beckley got hit ( in ^he head. He
was out of the game for several weeks, wbtle it was
many hours before he regained consciousness.
This accident upset me. but not as much as 11
would had I not known they were getting our signs.
Beckley knew he was taking a chance of being hurt
when ho prepared himself for the pitch before he
got a look at the ball, and 1 did not feel I was to
blame. At another time I beaned" Bill Lauder,
formerly the third baseman of the Giants, during
morning practice. He was never the same again,
and I regret that as much as anything
* • •
W HEN batters are hit and hurt by pitched balls, it
Is generally their own fault, because, as a
rule, they have ample opportunity to get out of the
way. Many make the mistake of dodging Into the ball
Instead of away from It, and this is usually disastrous,
especially if it is a fast one. Most pitchers in the
big league have good control now, and. as I have said,
the old trick of shooting a' the batter's head is going
out of fashion. Pitchers who have reputations for
being wild often make the batters more afraid of
them than the ones who have the best control, be
cause the men are chary about standing up to the
plate to them as they are to the good sharp-shooters.
There jpe a few pitchers who gossip of their lack
r
of control and fear of hitting a batter purposely so
that they will have a slight edge when a man comes
to the plate. If the hitter Is afraid of being hurl, he
is not going to be so confident of meeting the ball.
But the dread of a fatal accident expressed by Walter
Johnson Is genuine with most pitchers, and such an
accident would doubtless make a man useless in base
ball ever afterward.
* • «
^nF all the holdouts of last winter, Ty Cobb Is the
sole survivor at this writing. How much longer
he will last is a great question. The prophets declare
he has not a chance to beat organized baseball,
whereas others contend that Mr. Navin may as well
shut up his park if he attempts to go through the
season without Cobb. Anyway, it is an Interesting
case from the angle of both the ball player and the
owner.
• • •
-p HE season got away in bad form this year. So
» did the pennant winners of the last race. Fans
arose on the morning after the opening to find the
Giants and the Boston Americans both at the bot
tom of tlm ladder. Still not all the boys on the New
York club have conceded the flag yet. We hope for. a
look-in.
Before passing on, I want to pause to speak of Hub
Puiuite, who did the pitching for the Boston club
against the Giants in the first game of the season in
New Y'ork. Purdue has developed within the last
two years into one of the best twirlers In the game,
and it is a high compliment to be recognized as a
topnotcljer while appearing with the Boston team.
That is enough to destroy any ambition.
Purdue developed a trick against the Giants in that
first game Indicative of his native shrewdness and the
even temperament with which he is blessed. Hereto
fore Purdue has depended on a lot of speed and a
nice curve for his pitching effectiveness. That is all
we were looking for when he went to work against
us. The first Inning had not become history before
one of the boys came back to the bench and said;
"That guy’s got a splttcr, and he don't put the
ball near his mouth."
"He can t spit through liis hands," answered Larry
Doyle. "We’ll watch him.”
We began to watch him. Sometimes he would put
the ball up lo his face as if to wet It for a saliva-
coated one. and the batter would prepare for a spit-
ter. Lp would come a curve or a fast one. Then a
spltter would drop out of nowhere when Purdue had
not had the ball near his mouth.
“Nice break on that one, wasn't there?” he would
inquire.
* * *
T HE secret has leaked out since. Perdue was very
desirous of winning that first game and began
to prepare for it away back when the Boston club
first started its spring practice. Hub discovered he
could obtain very good results with a spitter when
he began to try to get acquainted with one in the
spring camp. But no mention of his achievement was
made in the newspapers, because the Boston club is
not watched by an army of correspondents while in
spring training as are the Giants. At last, when
Purdue had bis spitter working well enough to use
In a game, Stallings and he got together on a scheme
to conceal It.
"Wet your glove." Stallings told him. "and rub the
ball In It while holding you hands at your waist."
The idea worked as smoothly as a demonstration
automobile. Hub would spit Into his glove when he
had his back to the batter and then wet the ball front
that. He had us all tied up. and certainly pitched a
wonderful game. That trick is liable to attain promi
nence in the big leagues this season and make the
spitball a more formidable instrument. It was the
fact that you could generally tell when to expect one
that has reduced its effectiveness a little bit so far.

Bv Sain Crane.
N EW YORK, April 17.—The Bos-
tons have been known to flash
before in early games. One-
long to be remembered spring not so
long ago. Frank Bowerman, then their
manager, had pennant aspirations for
a few sweet dreamy weeks, and a
manager's salary in his mind’s eye
that would make the annual stipen Is
of McGraw and Chance look like
thirty centimes.
Frank became so chesty over *nis
accession of managerial acumen that
he wouldn’t even look at his old
friends here in New York and becanv
so exclusive that he took his break
fasts in bed for fear of being an
noyed by wild-eyed scribes anxious
to secure his pedigree and predic
tions of the future.
Frank a “Sword Swallower.”
That was the rumor, anyhow, but I
have my own opinion about Frank's
retirement from public view in hotel
dining rooms. As a successful
manager, Frank, who was what is
known as a "sword swollower," inas
much as he could balance more roup 1
green peas on his knife blade than
any other manager or baseball player,
was desirous of overcoming that Class
L bush league habit of his youth.
He sought the seclusion of his room
to practice on the "eats" with an uu-
to-date fork. It is said, too, that h-
even ordered soup for breakfast, and
ate it with the two-tined iron fork
of his boyhood days in the back wood?.
But while Frank may have improved
in table manners, he lost ground a.-*
a manager. His team, after a few
weeks of annoyance to opponents,
tumbled to the place in the race best
suited to them. They attained thEr
lever. And so did Bowerman
Stallings Not Overconfident.
Now, George Stallings is not A»r.e
who eats 'vith his knife, and he know *
too much about the ups and down-
of baseball to become chesty ov*r
"one successive victory" by it is
team.
N«i other men could have been any
more successful than he has in le-
veloplng winners from second dlv:-
sioners. He has patched up the P.'-
grims from a very small nucleus
of high class talent to work on, and
the smoothness with which his team
played against the Giants on the
opening day shows that he has been
doing some good work on the train
ing trip. Not much was said about
the Pilgrims while they were hidden
away in secluded out of the way
Athens. Ga.. but they forced them
selves into the sperlight with a rush.
B*
OSTON is going to give some of the other clubs
which usually adorn the second division cluster
in the National League a tough battle to keep it in
lust place. Stallings will insist on the team working
all the year, as he has shown time and again he pos
sesses the accomplishments of a manager. When
they dig up tricks like that spitball one, it will be a
team to hustle. The club also showed considerable
baseball In that first game. Still, one summer don't
make a swallow.
♦ * *
E VERYBODY in the American League admits that
the Athletics are out tor the money this year,
even the Athletics. They made a grand plunge into
the standing of the clubs by trimming Boston very
handily once, and with more difficulty, but still trim
ming. the Red Sox a second time. Connie Mack has
some of his American League contemporaries wor
ried. including Jake Stahl. Jake admits the Athletics
will bear watching.

Charlie Allen, of Marist, has been
playing an up and down game at third
base this season. In the Boys High
game he pulled several bum plays, and
again in the game Tuesday with Tech
High he was off color.
* * *
When he is playing his game, Charlie
Allen is probably the classiest third
sacker in the Pr«o Leagu*. He was
the unanimous choice for that place on
last year's all-prep nine, and it is hoped
that he will soon steady down.
* * *
The Boys High team has been working
hard lately. Sam Armistead is making
tin* men run all the way round the
bases in batting practice, and there is
no let up from the time they reach the
field until they are ready to leave.

The team is determined to win the
pennant in the Prep League this year.
Thev have won one and lost none, and
are leading all others in the standing
of the teams.

Marist Tuesday They are right in the

and Parks, and if the boys can stay
steady for the rest of the season there
is no reason why the team should not
cop the flag.

Bill Parks, the Tech High short.-,!op,
who has been out of the game for over
,a week, is back in harness again. He
was in the line-up against Marist and
played good ball. Parks sprained his
ankle in practice last week.
