Crackers Win Whirligiggy Game

DEMAREE, the New York Giants’ promising pitcher, who was with Mike Finn’s Southern League Gulls
last year, herewith pictures his humorous impressions, both from the player’s and spectator’s point of
view.
Becker, Weaver and Co. Get Good
0 0 © © O O ©
Harbison Pulls Off Quaint Play
By Percy II. Whiting.
A NY afternoon that Bill Smith starts Weaver aud Becker uught to be
declared “fan day” at the ball park. For there is always such a lot
of good stuff doing.
Consider now the scores of recent Weaver-Beeker games, to wit, and
thus:
Wednesday. April lti Birmingham 11, Atlanta 8: 11 nits by Barons.
Saturday, April lb Nashville b. Atlanta s; 11 hits by Vols.
Wednesday. April n:; Atlanta s, Chattanooga 7, lb lilts by Fiber
kids.
Note the gradual improvement of the combination! They scaled the
ims down thus. 11. 9, 7. Also they settled down In the matter of allow
ing hits) to wit: 14, 11, lb.
That pair is gettiug good.
* # *
W HAT the mischief the matter is with Weaver nobody seems to know.
If unybixly had told Bill Smith a month ago that Weaver would tie
knocked out of the box three times between April 10 and 23 inclusive
Smith would have snickered. But it bus come to pass.
In yesterday’s game Weaver was knocked out in the second inning
with two hits. But both were homers, from the bats of Curt. Elston and
■‘dabby” Street.
* * *
T HE knocking out of Weaver was as nothing, however, compared with
what the Crackers handed Chappeile. In the second inning the At
lantans batted clear around and three over and with six hits made K runs.
With Bailey up for the second time Big Bjll put ids glove in his pocket,
turned on his massive licet and left the box. Kid Klbefteld had Forrest
More out in the bull pen. warming up and there was a long delay liefore
he could l>c dug up. But Chappeile was through. He didn't give a cuss if
there weren’t any more pitchers anywhere. H t . had finished, after one of
the saddest drubbings a pitcher lias taken in the Southern League tills
year.
* * *
I T was nii-e that Atlanta won for we should la* forced to admit otherwise
(hat it was oh well, what's the use. We won. Let Chattanoogans
grow the wrinkles.
Of course the Atlanta in and outfield pulled a couple of bad ones.
Two fell safe that were within reach of three men. They went as hits
but they should have been errors. Everybody went after them, nobody got
them, nobody seemed to know who was supposed to get them. And there
you are.
But then vve won.
a * *
I T fell to Douglas Harbison to celebrate bis return to Bonce Delxmn
park with quite the most amazing play of the day. It was in the fervid
second. Wally Smith was on third when Weaver tapped one to Harbison.
He caught Wally off third and a run-down was on. The Hal 1 was hurled to
Street and lie slammed it back to Harbison. "Dug" closed in a bit and
Wally dashed for the plate, with Harbison close after him. They passed
street, who was waiting to head Wally. They passed the mighty form of
Chappeile, poised in the path for the same purpose. Gradually Smith ap
proached the plate, with Harbison after him. but not gaining much.
Then- was need for a critical play. It was a crisis.
With a flash of genius Harbison drew back ids mighty right and
linn.El) THE BALL FI LL IN THE MIDDLE OF SMITH’S BACK.
The strategy of the tiling was lost on the fans. Our personal belief is
that Harbison expected to fell Smith with the blow and that lie planned
then to pick up the ball and press it against Smith’s prostrate form.
But Smith, being tough-by nature, didn’t mind the wallop and romped
across with a run.
* *
I T appears that the Crackers have something on the Lookouts. Yesterday
made the fourth consecutive victory of Atlanta over their hated rivals.
This afternoon Manager Hlberfeld will f ry to reverse the count.
•lust what the matter is with the Elherkids nobody seems to know, ex
cept that they are weak on the slab. The rest of the team stacks up pretty
good. Cabby Street is going like a wonder and his playing does a lot to
substantiate his claim that lie’s just as good a catcher to-day as lie ever
was in his life.
I'resident <>. B. Andrews, of the Chattanooga club, who witnessed the
game, soys that ho is not through strengthening the team.
"We will keep, after it until we get a winner, if we have to buy hall
players all summer,” said Mr, Andrews.
And when a man goes out after anything witli that spirit lie usually
accomplishes something.

But Atlanta won and that makes
it possible to forgive all sins com
mitted. Even *he bon ahead exhibi
tions were forgotten wnen it was
over and the tallies snowed 8 to 7 for
the Home Talent.
With all the slowness and dullness
eliminated, however, there were mo
ments when the crowd stood up and
even turkey trotted. For part of that
second inning was of the spine chill
ing variety. Even the Dnattanooga
fans had an opportunity to shake
their feet in glee. But Atlantans soft
the mo«t excitement out of the is
sue For a time the enthualasm
merged into mad rivers of joyous
ness. Then the cup overflowed and
the home crowd settled down to easy
feeling of nonchalance. Some even
went home, suffering from ennui.
Plenty of Action in Second.
That second inning teemed witli
action. First the hearts of the visi
tors were set jiggling with joy. Then
tlie blow-off came and the Atlantans
were galvanized into an enthusiasm
that swept over the stands like wa
ter shot over Dayton. It got too good
for most of us. For in rluit second
Chattanooga made the first score *>?
, three tallies. Atlanta followed with
| eight, sending Pitcher Chappeile t*s
the bench when every man in the
gam** had faced him one* time and
he had managed to submerge only
one.
Following this eventful round tha
visitors made desperate efforts tx»
land on the big end of the book
keeping. but they could not quite
make ii a go, though in what is al
ways termed by the losing team—the
fatal seventh inning—they came
within an ace of tying. A good
throw, a c lose decision and the finail
rally ended with a shy run. Th-re
was nothing more doing.
Weaver started out to twirl biff
Atlanta, but his pitching didn't sull
Billy Smith. Elberfeld kinder smiled
up to it. a§ it were. Smith, however,
substituted Becker after the second,
though having a lead of five runs.
More was substituted for Chappeile
in the midst of a bombardment tha*
must have made Madero’s defense
look ragged. Ohappelle’s pitching
was not much worse than Chatta
nooga's fielding, though goodnes*
knows it was bad enough. Becker
was lucky to hold the game in the
seventh and eighth when Chattanoo
ga started a belated snurt.
Visitors Get Two Homers,
Two home* runs and a base on
balls gave the visitors their three
in the second. Atlanta got her eight
tallies two bases on balls, four
singles, a double and a three saeker,
with a sacrifice and some grand old
stone work thrown in. Chattanooga
scored two in the fourth on a two
bagger and two singles and in the
seventh added two more on a double
and two singles. Some of the safe
ties were due to ragged fielding ot
the bonehead variety, notably a
two bagger and a single which eitnei
Do bard or Bailey should have had.
Altogether I could not get suffi
ciently enthused over the game to
write another prize winner, which
this is certainly not. It was too easy,
