Crackers Win Whirligiggy Game Q 0 © © © 0-0 A L , 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. GIBSON BREAKS ANKLE; OUT FOR TWO MONTHS PITTSBURG. April 24.

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, FORTY-ONE CLUBS ENTER IN CHICAGO FIELD MEET DHICAGO.
