Harbison Pulls Off Quaint Play
By Percy H. Whiting.
A NY afternoon that. Hill Smith starts Weaver and Becker ought 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-Becker games, to wit, and
thus:
Wednesday, April 16—Birmingham 11, Atlanta 8; 11 nits by Barons.
Saturday, April IP Nashville p, Atlanta 8; 11 hits by Vols.
Wednesday, April 2 .'I Atlanta 8, Chattanooga 7, 10 hits by Fiber
kids.
Note the gradual improvement of the combination! They scaled the
runs down thus. 11, 9, 7. Also they settle,1 down in the matter of allow
ing hits, to wit: 14, 11, 10.
That pair is getting good.
»■ . *
W 1IAT the mischief the matter is with Weaver nobody seems to know.
If anybody bad told Bill Smith a month ago that Weaver would be
knocked out of the box three times between April l(i and 2.'i Inclusive
Smith would have snickered. But it has 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
•Cabby” Street.
* . *
T HE knocking out of Weaver was ns nothing, however, compared with
what tlie Crackers handed Chappelle. In the second Inning the At
lantans batted clear around and three over and with six hits made 8 runs.
With Bailey up for the second time Big Iljll put his glove in his pocket,
turned on bis massive heel and left the box. Kid Elberfeld had Forrest

there weren’t any more pitchers anywhere. II ( > had finished, after one of
the saddest drubbings a pitcher has taken in the Southern league this
vear.
* * *
I T was nice that Atlanta won for we should be forced to admit otherwise
lhat it was—oh well, what’s the use. We won. Let Chattanoogans
grow tiie 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 we won.
* * *
I T fell to Douglas Harbison to celebrate his return to Bonce DeLeon
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 bull was hurled to
sin'ct and he slammed it back to Harbison. “Dug” closed in a bit and
\v dashed for the plate, with Harbison close after him. They passed
street. who was waiting to head Wally. They passed the mighty form of
■tiii.p. ie, poised in the path for the same purpose. Gradually Smith ap-
,,reached tlie plate, witli Harbison after him, but not gaining much.
There was need for a critical play. It was a crisis.
With a flash of genius Harbison drew back His mighty right and
Hl’BLEI) THE BALL FULL 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 he 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 Elberfeld will try to reverse the eount.
just what the matter is with the Elberkids nobody seems to know, ex
cept that they are weak on the slab. The rest of the team stacks up pretty
good. Gabby 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 he ever
was in ids life.
President <>. it. Andrews, of tlie Chattanooga club, who witnessed the
came, says that he is not through strengthening tlie team.
"We"will keep alter it until we get a winner, if we have to buy ball
players all summer,” said Mr. Andrews.
And when a man goes out alter anything with that spirit he usually
accomplishes something.

the home crowd settled down to easy

That second inning teemed wifll
action. First the hearts of the visi
tors were set jiggling with joy. Then
the blow-off came and the Atlantan*
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 that second
Chattanooga made the first score oi
three tallies. Atlanta followed with
eight, sending Pitcher Chappelle to
the bench when every man in the
game had faced him one time and
he had managed to submerge only
one.
Following this eventful round thd
visitors made desperate efforts t/a

make it a go, though in what is al
ways termed by the losing team—the
fatal seventh inning—they cams

Two home runs and a base on

scored two in the fourth on a tw-j

ties were due to ragged fielding ol
