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
o> o o © © o ©
Harbison Pulls Off Quaint Play
By Percy H. Whiting.
A W afternoon that Bill Smith starts Weaver and Becker ought to Ite
declared "fan day" at the hall park. For there is always such a lot
of good stuff doing.
Consider now the scores of recent Weaver-Beoker games, to wit, and
i Inis:
Wednesday, April Id -Birmingham 11, Atlanta 8: 11 hits by Barons.
Saturday. April 1!) Nashville !>, Atlanta S: 11 hits by Vols.
Wednesday, April -3—Atlanta s, 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 settled down in the mutter of allow
ing hits, to wit: 14. II, 10.
That pair is getting good.
• * *
W HAT the mischief the matter is with Weaver nobody seems to know.
If anybody had told Bill Smith a month ago that Weaver would be
knocked out of the bo\ three times between April 16 and 23 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
"(iabbv" Street.
* * *
T HE knocking out of Weaver was as nothing, however, compared with
what the 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 Bjll put Ills glove In his pocket,
turned on ills massive heel and left the laix. Kid Elberfeld had Forrest
More out in the bull pen, warming up and ttiere was a long delay before
lie could lie dug up. But Chappelle was through. He didn't give a cuss if
there weren’t any more pitchers anywhere. Hp had finished, after one of
the saddest drubbings a pitcher has taken in the Southern League this
veal'.
* * *
I T was nice that Atlanta won for we should be forced to admit otherwise
that It was—oh well, what's the use. We won. I,et 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
hut 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 ball was hurled to
Street and he slammed it back to Harbison. *‘l)ug" 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
Chappelle, poised In tiie path for the same purpose. Gradually Smith ap
proached the plate, with 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 ills mighty right and
HURLED THE BALL FELL IN THE MIDDLE OF SMITH’S BACK.
The strategy of the thing 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, t>eing tough by nature, didn’t mind the wallop and romiied
across witli a rim.
s * *
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 count.
.lust what the matter is with the Elberktds 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 his life. ,
I’resident (•. I!. Andrews, of the Chattanooga club, who witnessed the
game, savs that lie is not through strengthening the teS4n.
•We will keep after it until we get a winner, if we have to buy ball
players all summer," said Mr. Andrews.
And when a man goes out after anything with that spirit he usually
accomplishes something.

CHRISTY MATHEWSCM'S
BIG LtAGOI GOSSIP
NEW YORK. April 24. Although the season is not yet very old, two events have already
dented baseball history which may have a l>is effect on the results of the race. As if to show
no partiality Dame—or perhaps we should cal her Miss—Fortune has planted one in each
league.
Houus Wagner is in bad shape, just iiow bad I do not know, but information has come
to nip from baseball sources that his knee js exceedingly weak, and its condition has so badly
worried Fred Clarke, the manager of the Birates, that lie took Wagner to Youngstown himself
to consult with the famous bonesetter. Reese. The hig Dutchman lias been declared out. of the
game many times before this and lias returned stronger than ever* A few years ago, when
club was playing at
BOXING
News of the Ring Game
the Pittsbui
Sportsman I’ark before the new
Forbes Field was built, Wagner was
so crippled up with rheumatism from
standing on the damp ground of the
flat lands that it was thought theu he
was nearing his finish. At that time,
Wagner wanted to quit the game, hut
Dreyfuss Insisted that he stick with
him.
Understand I am not reading Wag
ner out of baseball now. He may-have
many years left ln him, and none
more sincerely hopes so than I do.
He has been one of the greatest play
ers ln the game. His knee may come
around In fine shape again, but Wag
ner is getting along in years, and
such Injuries do not repair as quick
ly when a man approaches forty.
Houus has already been afraid of
his legs. He has thought for a long
time that they would cave first and
put him out of the game.
"How are the legs, Houus?” I
asked him one day last season.
“They feel better this summer than
in two years,” he told me.
His underpinning did give him very
little trouble last season, and lie had
a good year. Everybody began to be
lieve .the legs were as good as ever,
and, hi examining the outlook for
tills summer, the prognosticators took
it for granted Wagner would have
another good year. Tlien Houus
twisted one of his valuable legs in a
practice game at Hot Springs during
the spring training period. Little was
thought of the injury at first, but it
continued to grow worse Instead of
Ix'tter and. when the club returned to
Pittsburg, Wagner was limping badly.
Baseball players were surprised to
see him attempt to play in the open
ing games, and this reckless treat
ment of the twisted knee made it
much worse. He soon had to quit
and now it will not respond to treat
ment. Dreyfuss is worried, Clarke is
worried, and the Pittsburg fans arc
worried. Apparently least worried of
all is Hans Wagner they tell me.
“I can still work the clutch in my
automobile, and I guess I’ll be able
to limp around a little after the birds
next fall,” he said to somebody the
other day.
* * *
Wagner is a peculiar player. Base
ball is his life, and he has always
taken the game seriously. Still he
has pretended to do this and shuffles
about the field almost carelessly.
When he makes an error that affects
the result of a game, it hurts him,
but to talk with him, you would never
believe this. He conceals it under
his apparently placid tenqierament.
It was he who insisted he appear in
the first games of the season, accord
ing to my information.
“You’d lictter Like it easy for a
while,” Clarke suggested to Wagner
before the ra<x< startisl.
“All my leg needs 1h a little work
I guess," Modus answered. “Ix»t me
try it out."
Wagner must have feared his knee
might bother him and wanted to re
assure himself. lie was unusually
eager to last this season out because
he felt the Pirates had a good chance
to take the pennant. The tragedy in
his career occurred in 190.1 in the
world’s series 1 n't ween Boston and
Pittsburg when an unfortunate slip
and one likely to be made by any play
er, gave Boston the chance to win
the title. Wagner made that slip.
He brooded over the error until he
had a chance to vindicate himself in
the world's series of 1900 against De
troit. How lie took advantage of op
portunity's knock is now baseball his
tory. lie told a friend last winter
he wanted to put in one more good
1 year for Pittsburg before lie quit and
i took excellent care of himself during
I the off season, even tiettcr titan usual,
if that were possible. His appearance
of indifference to his injury is doubt
less assumed when lie says liis leg
is strong enough to work the dutch
of his automobile.
It is remarkable how many veter
ans quit the game because their legs
give way first. There was Arthur
Devlin, formerly of the Giants, and
one of the best third basemen ever to
play, in the big leagues. His arm was
good, liis eye was good, and he was a
young man when McGraW let him go
to Boston because he was getting
slow in the legs. That was one of
the hardest moves McGrow made lie-
cause Devlin was a particular friend
of his. It was the creaky condition
of Bridwell’s legs that picked Dim
off the New York club although “Al”
seems 1o have regained his strength
through a rest. Aside from liis
trouble with ids head, Frank Chance
has suffered most from his legs, and
liis underpinning has kept him out of
the game this year. Many doubt
whether Chance’s legs will lie strong
enough ever again for Dim to play
regularly, in spite of predictions to
the contrary.
The reason for the weakening of a
bull player's legs first is apparent.
The greatest strain comes on this
part of the anatomy. All ball play
ers jire forced to make quick starts.
The strains on the legs are sudden
and severe. Base running, with its
quick starts and sudden stops, wears
oil the legs. In sizing up a hall play
er, the smart manager nowadays with
the increased desire for sjieed notices
the legs first. If he sees the recruit
favors these, he is generally passed
hack to the minors even if lie has
other ability. Look at Lellvelt, of
the Yankees, who batted .100 last
year, but still is sitting on the bench
because lie lacks speed.

I T was u slum-bang; hard-hitting,
mussy- played game yesterday.
But Atlanta won and that makes
it possible to forgive all sins com
mitted. Even the bonehead exhibi
tions were forgotten wnen :t w
over and the tallies showed 8 to 7 for
the Home Talent.
With all the slowness and duHaees
eliminated, however, there were mo
ments when the crowd stood up ami
even turkey trotted. For part of that
second Inning was of the spine chill
ing variety. Even the Chattanooga
fans had an opportunity to shake
their feet In glee. But Atlantans go;
the most excitement out of the is
sue For time the enthusiasm
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 with
action. First the hearts of the visi
tors were set jiggling with joy. Then
the 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 must of us. For in that second
Chattanooga made the first score
three tallies. Atlanta followed wiLii
eight, sending Pitcher Chappelle t »
the bench when every msn in the
game had faced him one time anti
he had managed to submerge only
one.
Following this eventful round tha
visitors made - desperate effort* t.»
land on the big end of the book
keeping. but they could not quit-*
make it a go. though in what is al
ways termed by the- losing team—the
fatal seventh inning—they < sin *
within an ace of tying. A good
throw, a close decision and the final
rally ended with a shy run. Ther.j
was nothing more doing.
Weaver started out to twirl i »r
Atlanta, but ids pitching didn’t suit
Billy Smith. Elberfeld kinder smiled
up to it. a* it were. Smith, however,
substituted Becker after the second,
though having a. load of five runs.
More was substituted for Chappelle
in the midst of a bombardment that
must have made Madero’s defens*
look ragged. Chappelle’3 pitching
was not much worse than Chatta
nooga’s fielding, though goodness
knows it was bad enough. Becker
whs lucky to hold tiie game in the
seventh and eighth when Chattanoo
ga started a belated snurt.
Visitors Get Two Horr.ers.
Two home runs and a base on
balls gave the visitors their threo
in the second. Atlanta got her eight
tallies on two bases on balls, four
singles, a double and a three aacker.
with a sacrifice end some grand old
stone work thrown in. Chattanooga
scored two ln the fourth on a tv. >
bagger and two singles and in tho
seventh added two more on a double
and two singles. Rome of tiie safe
ties were due to ragged fielding of
the bonehead variety, notably i
two bagger and o single which eitner
Dobard or Bailey should have had.
Altogether I could not get suffi
ciently enthused over the game to
write another prise winner, which
i this is certainly not. It was too easy.
