T HIS trip 1<> Nashville is being: taken by the Cracker team for the
express purpose of Improving the club’s standing and for fatten
ing of averages.
If it comes out as it appears likely to, it wilt amount to nothing at
all- except maybe that it will net the Crackers three out of four games.
The ilrsf series in Chattanooga demonstrated that the Crackers were
good in a short series on the road. And the Crackers won three in a
row.
The Birmingham series has shown what we all suspected—that the
Crackers can win on their home soil. And they took three out of four.
The series that begins April 30 at Birmingham and carries the club
all through the Southern section will show what the Crackers can do in
a long road jaunt.
...
L ET no fan underestimate the importance of yesterday's game. Re
member that the- Crackers had gone mad and won five in a row.
In their sixth game, played Wednesday, they were lgnominiously defeated.
Yesterday's game gave them a chance either to come back or to
stay away. And they came back, 3 to 1, in quite the prettiest game of
the season.
* * *
I F ..ny demonstration were needed that Paul Musser has arrived for a
season's stay it was given yesterday. The Susquehanna University
lad allowed the Barons three hits. Considering that his only other "out"
was a two-hit game against Chattanooga, it can he regarded as probable
that the blonde hoy "has something"—and has it in great profusion.
Of course, Musser was wild as the festive Hottentot. He walked
seven men and hit one. However, this does not seem to be chronic with
him. In Chattanooga he allowed only four bases on balls and shut out
the Lookouts.
tloing back through the record books, it becomes evident that the
Pennsylvanian is not naturally a wild man. On the coast last year he
averaged five bases on balls to a game. The year before, in the O. and P.
League, he passed around an average of almost exactly three bases on
balls to the game.
All of which means that Musser looks like the best of pitching finds
of the season and a man who, with good support, should win nearly
three-fourths of his games.
* * *
T HE Crackers played hall yesterday that raised them many notches in
the estimation of fandom. It was impossible to forget the game
of the previous day, and if would not have been surprising If the Crack
ers had let it affect their playing. But they didn't.
The locals got away for the first run in the second, on Long’s double
and Smith’s single.
The game was tied up in the fourth when McBride hit a three-bagger
and tallied on Carroll's sacrifice fly.
Then the Crackers pulled themselves up short and played ball. From
that time on Musser did not give up a hit, and only in the fifth, when
Marcan walked, took second on a sacrifice and third on Senno’s grounder
to Alperman, was a Baron even near home plate.
It will be observed, therefore, that after the score was tied Musser
became progressively better, while Hardgrove, the Baron tw’irler. weak
ened steadily.
In the fifth he retired the locals one, two, three.
In the sixth he hit a batter.
In'the seventh he walked Long and allowed Dobard a hit.
In the eighth he got what was coming to him. ^
Musser, who has a habit of winning his own games, opened the
eighth by driving one that plowed through Hardgrove and got to Marcan
too late to do that worthy any good. Agler flied out. But then came
the old Special Delivery Kid- C. Alperman. And Whttey delivered with
a raking double to center field that sent Musser tearing across the plat
ter. Welchonce grounded to Hardgrove then, and this worthy, in attempt
ing to head Alperman, threw wild toward Carroll, and Alperman scored.
In the first of the ninth Musser showed his worth by holding Carroll
to a gentle fly and by fanning Ellam (reputed a pinch hitter) and Mayer
(known to be a good hatter) with all the ease in the world.
# * *
K EATING made a brave, useful play in the second. McBride had walk
ed, and McUilvray bunted toward Smith. This drew Wally in and
left third uncovered, so McBride lit out for the bag. Keating dashed over
to cover—a bit late, it is true, hut in time to jump high in the air and
catch Agler’s timber-topping heave. He pinched the ball and fell in front
of the dashing McBride. The inpact spun the tiny Cracker shortstop a
couple of rods across the field, hut he held the hall and completed a
double play. So badly jarred was he by the play that he retired a bit
later and Dobard finished out the contest at short, performing creditably.
* * #
L IKE the other games of the home series, the contest dragged along
over two hours. This meant wasted time, late suppers—and was
unnecessary and irritating.
When, oh when, will President Kavanaugh issue orders to his um
pires to hustle the games along?
We ask, but expect no answer.
* © *
B ILL SMITH and Billy Sands get out a bully score card this season,
but they might wise up the proof reader who handles the line-up
and batting order a bit. For Instance, in the Birmingham-Atlanta line-up
they had: ".YlcBridge” for McBride. "Corrale" for Carroll, "Bodis” for
Bodus and "Alger" for Agler.
IN JIM PRUS
T HE Riverside Military Academy
track team will probably take
part in two or three track meets
this spring and if they do not win
more than a fair share of the prizes
Coach Frank Anderson will be one
! highly surprised citizen.
| Anderson's present plan is to enter
a three-man team at the Washington
and Lee track meet April 26 and 27.
| to enter a full team at the Ninth
District meet April 24 and 25 and pos
sibly to send a small team to the
Vanderbilt prep track meet.
That Anderson has one genuine slar
is evident from the marks made at
j a recent school meet at Riverside. In
this event Jim Preas. the star ath
lete from Johnson City. Tenn.. was
the big winner. This lad took the
100-yard dash in 10 3-4, the 220 in
25 flat, the 440 in 53 flat; threw the
discus 107 feet and the 12-pound shot
42 feet 10 inches.
The other stars on the Riverside
meet were Ray and McNeill. Ray
took the pole vault, with a mark of
8 feet 6 inches, the high jump with
a leap of 4 feet 10 inches and in the
broad jump he cleared 18 feet 6 inches.
McNeill, who is to go to Auburn next
year, where he is sure to be a star,
won the mile in 4 minutes 51 second?.
These three men—Preas, McNeill
and Ray—could probably hold their
own with any three-man prep team
in Dixie.

awful lacing and Chicago fans are

SOX RELEASE WOLFGANG.
CHICAGO, April 18.—Mel Wolf
gang, a righthanded pitcher who cave
Chicago Americans by draft
last fall from the Lowell (Mass.4
team, of the New England League,
was released yesterday to the Denver
Club, of the Western League. The
terms were not announced.
A BALL GAME AND
A MORAL
A trophy was offered to the city in the Southern League having
the largest attendance at its initial game.
Atlanta’s season opened last Monday. A few days before
Birmingham had set the high mark with a grand total of 8,800.
With pretty weather, folks said Atlanta had a bare chance to
beat it. We didn’t have pietty weather.
Birmingham fans read the weather conditions and said: “It’s a cinch.”
1 hey didn’t reckon on the spirit that says and proves “Atlanta always
ahead.”
Atlanta citizens looked on this contest as something a little bigger than
baseball. It was a test of civic loyalty, and here’s how Atlanta answered:
Hundreds of the biggest business houses in the city closed their doors
oh Monday afternoon and told their employees, “Let’s show ’em what
a real crowd looks like.”
In a cold, chilly drizzle over nine thousand went through the gates at
Ponce de Lecn and voted Atlanta “the most loyal city in the league.”
We get the cup.
Now, that’s the game,---Here's the moral:
F he most vital competition in manufacturing today is not between
individual firms, biO between cities and sections.
Atlanta has entered the "league" of shoe-manufacturing cities.
What standing will she take?
T hat question must be answered in a large part by Atlanta citi
zens and their attitude towards Atlanta-made shoes.
The growth of this industry wili mean much to Atlanta. It has
made Lynchburg from a village to a prosperous city; it has given St.
Louis her place as one of the largest and richest cities of the middle
west.
Now, nobody would expect Atlanta folks to break their necks to
support a bum hall team, nor would we expect them to give preference
to Atlanta-made shoes if they weren’t as good in every respect as
those made anywhere. You’ll find them so.
1 hey are sold in many places. If your dealer hasn’t them you’ll
find all the new spring styles on display at the RED SEAL SHOE
SHOP. 93 Peachtree. Look them over; if you find just the style
you like, try them on; if they fit perfectly, try them out. That’s all.
