T HIS trip lo Nashville is l,einn taken by the Cracker learn 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 will amount to nothing at
all—except maybe that II will net the Crackers three out of four games.
The llrst series in Chattanooga demonstrated that the Crackers were
good in a short series oil 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 ::0 at Birmingham and carries the club
all through the Southern section will show what the Crackers can do In
a long road juunt.
. « *
L KT no fan underestimate the importance of yesterday's game. Re
member that l lie Crackers had gone mad and won live In a row.
In iheir sixth game, played Wednesday, they were ignominiously defeated.
Yesterday's game gave them a chance either to come back or to
stay away. And they came hack. to 1. In quite the prettiest game of
the season.
• * •
I F aUJ demonstration were needed that t’aul 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-liit game against Chattauooga. it can be regarded as probable
that tlie bloude boy "has something"—ami has it In great profusion.
Of course. Musser was wild as the festive Hottentot. He walked
seven men and hit one. However, tills does not seem to lie chronic with
him. In Chattanooga he allowed only four bases on halls and shut out
the Lookouts.
.Going buck through the record books, it becomes evident that the
Pennsylvanian is not naturally a wild man. On the coast last year he
averaged live bases on balls to a game. Tile year before, in the O. and P.
League, he passed around an average of almost exactly three bases on
halls 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 HK Crackers played hull yesterday that raised them many notches in
the estimation of fandom. It was Impossible to forget the game
of the previous day. and it 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 ilie fourth when McBride hit a three-bagger
and tallied on Carroll’s sacrifice tly.
Then tIn- 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
Murcan walked, took second on a sacrifice and third on Senno's grounder
to Alperman. was a Baron even near home plate.
Il will he observed, therefore, fhai after the score was tied Musser
became progressively better, while Hard grove, the Baron twirler, weak
ened steadily.
In the fifth lie retired tile 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 filed out. But theu came
the old Special Delivery Kid C. Alperman. And Whiter 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 Carrol)
to a gentle fly and by fanning IOllam (reputed a pinch hitterl and Mayer
t known lo he a good batter) with all the ease in the world.
* • *
K MATING made a brave, useful play in the second. McBride had walk
ed. and McGllvray bunted toward Smith. This drew Wally in and
left third uncovered, so McBride lit out for the bag. Keating dashed over
lo cover i hit late, it is true, bin In time to jump high in the air and
catch Aglet's timber topping heave. He pinched the ball and fell in front
of the dashing McBride. The iupact spun the tiny Cracker shortstop a
couple of rods across the field, but he held the ball and completed a
double pla>. So badly Jarred was he by the play that he retired a bit
later and Dobard finished out the contest at short, performing creditable.
* * #
T IKE Hit* other mimes of th( 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 asL. but expect no answer.
T HE Riverside Military Academy
track team will probably take
part in two or three track meets
ihis spring and if they do not win
more than a fair >’;are of the prizes
I’oach Frank Anderson will be one
j highly surprised citizen.
Anderson’s present plan is to enter
. .three-man team at the Washington
1 .tnd Lee truck meet April L’G 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 star
is evident from the marks made at
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 fiat, the 140 in 53 flat: threw the
| discus 107 feet and the 12-pound shot
42 feet 10 inches.
The other .tars on the Riverside
meet were Ray and McNeill. Ray
took the pole vault, with a mark of
8 feet 0 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 seconds.
These three men—Preas. McNeill
and Ray—could probably hold their
own with any three-man prep team
in Dixie.

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.
Allanta’s season opened last Monday. A few davs before
Birmingham had set the high mark with a grand total of 8,800.
With pretty weather, folks said At anla had a bare chance to
beat it. We didn’t have pretty weather.
Birmingham fans read the weather conditions and said: "It’s a cinch.’’
Theydidn t reckon on the spirit that says and proves‘‘Atlanta always
ahead.”
Atlanta citizens looked on this contest as something a Iitt’e 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
on Monday afternoon and to'd their employee-, ‘‘Let’s show ’em what
a real crowd looks like.”
In a cold, chilly drizzle over nine thousard 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:
The most vital competition in manufacturmgUoday is not between
individual firms, but between cities and sections.
Atlanta has entered the "league" of shoe-manufacturing cities.
What standing will she take?
That question must be answered in a large part'by Atlanta citi
zens and their attitude towards Atlanta-made shoes..
The growth of this industry will 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
suppoit a bum ball 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.
They are sold in many places. If your dealer hasn’t them you 11
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’svall.
