PULLS FIELDING MIRACLES
Coach Heisman’s Sluggers Get to * 1 He Is Only First Baseman Who
Gordon for Three Runs in Ever Successfully Broke Up
the Opening Inning. “Squeeze” Play Unaided.
E RRORS, timely hits and heady
work by Eubanks, collaborated
yesterday to uown the Sewanee
Tigers and sew up the series for
Tech. The score was 5 to 1, but does
not indicate the fierceness with which
the belligerents tussled through the
nine rounds.
A rally, netting five hits and three
runs in the first inning, cinched the
game, the entire Tech team facing
(Jordon, who was on the mound for
sewanee. Eubanks went the entire
route and in only one inning was he
.“'cored upon, one run going across in
the second.
Altogether, the hard-hitting Tigers
walloped the steady twirler for only
three drives and these were scattered.
The Jackets assisted him with some
up-to-minute fielding.
The Sewanee players were credited
with three errors and all these mis-
plays were tabbed against Jones.
Gordon started the matinee and aft
er Moore's home run in the first and
four other singles in the same inning
it looked like the bench for him, but
he managed to settle d >wn and pitch
ed good ball for the remainder of the
game. Except for the first blow-up,
the game was close and exciting.
The biggest crowd of the year
turned out. The weather was inviting
and there was no other game in the
city, so the fans found a first-rate
substitute at Grant Field. It was a
ty pical college crow-d, with gay col
ors, pennants and blaring bands, in
termingled with the cheering. Jeering
ma-s of "studes." who kept up a.con
tinual howl.
Moore’s Homer Excites Fans.
Moore's home-run blow in the first
was the first bit of excitement un
loaded upon the attending populace.
It happened with one dead in the first.
Pitts Montague, Amason and Pound
also added hits in the same round and
three men crossed the rubber.
After Moore had registered the first
home run on the new field, Pitts hit
III left and scored when Montague
-ingled to dee- center. Pound placed
a lieat double Just out of reach of
icGoodwin and Montague romped
around the circuit and marked up a
: m. Amason singled and Pound
sprinted around the bags and tallied.
Donaldson got in the way of a bad
one and was given free passage to
first, but died there when Attridge
and Eubanks failed to connect with
the pill.
This ended the misery in the first
inning, but again in the sixth the
Jackets pulled across two mofe. At
tridge cut the breezes. Eubanks sin
gled to right, stole second and scored
when Wooten was safe on Jones’ error
in hitting a runner and a bad throw
to third, which allowed Wooten to
pilfer second. Moore then singled
scoring Wooten.
Sewanee’s only run came in the sec
ond, when McGoodwin doubled to
deep center field and scored on a pai.-
of sacrifices by Gordon and Erving.
Fanning fanned and the Tigers were
gone.
Tech’s Fielding Improves.
Tech’s fielding stock leaped to a
lofty notch yesterday and only one
error is charged to them. That came
when Captain Montague attempted to
rob Armbruster .of a Texas leaguer
fcack of first and trampled on ground
that could easily have been covered
by Pitts. However, it mattered not,
for no harm came of this. Montague.
Donaldson and Amason were the
fielding stars for Tech, while Pitts
and Moore were the hatting stars.
Attridge caught a jam-up game.
For Sewanee, Fanning and Whited
led in fielding and McGoodwin with
the willow.
Eubanks pitched an exceptionally
well-balanced game of bal. The box

Here’s JoeAgler, Crackers’ First Sadder,
Considered the Best in Southern League
By Percy H. Whiting.
J OSEPH AGLER. first baseman of
the Atlanta ball club, is as versa
tile as a traveling tinker. Among
his accomplishments may be men
tioned :
He is the bett first baseman the
Atlanta team ever had.
He's a corking newspaper corre
spondent.
He is the b«st fielding first baseman
the Southern League ever knew.
He’s a first-class plumber.
He can hit the bail and run bases.
He is the father of three fine chil
dren.
He is the champion pinochle player
of the Cracker club.
He aspire* to become e farmer.
* • •
W HEN a man is such a lot of things
it’s a hard matter for the baseball
historian to decide what to say about
him first. The fact that Joe Agler is
a marvelous first baseman is of prime
interest to Atlanta fans, however.
And nothing ever happened better
calculated to show the most amazing
ability of the man than a play he
made in Youngstown in 1909—a play
never equaled before or since.
Agler was playing first for Can
ton, and his club was fighting a tre
mendous contest with the Youngs
town nine. It was a close game and
nearing the end. Canton had tied it
up in the first half of the ninth. In
the last half the Youngstowners got a
man named Tate on bases with a
two-bagger. A sacrifice sent him to
third.
In this tight pinch it was Agler who
diagnosed the play that was coming.
When the next batter took his place
and the’ pitcher went through the
painful preliminaries, Agler shrieked,
“Look out for the squeeze!”
In 1909 the “squeeze play” was in
the height of its glory in the minor
leagues. When well executed it was
regarded as unbeatable.
This time Agler beat it single-
handed.
As the pitcher wound up he dashed
forward. A glance at the batter told
him he had guessed a-right. Tate
was dashing in from third and the
batter was poised to bunt. The play
was perfectly executed. Neck and
neck Agler and Tate tore for the
plate. Dashing forward. Joe scooped
up the ball and simultaneously both
men slid—Joe head first; Tate feet
first. Six inches before the squirming
mass of humanity crossed the plate
Agler pushed the ball against Tate’s
foot.
“YT out!” called the umpire.
Agler, a first baseman, had fielded
the ball on a squeeze play and had
touched out the runner at the plate.
Never before had a first baseman
done it. Never since has it been ac
complished, as far as baseball history
records.
* * *
J OE AGLER has made so many
marvelous plays that you could
write of them for a week without
exhausting a worthy subject.
Agler is' probably the only man
who ever started two triple plays the
same week
This feat Agler pulled with the
Newark team, of the Eastern League.
On both occasions Joe McGinnity was
pitching. The first triple play was
against Baltimore. First and second
were filled, and Cy Seymour was at
bat. Cy hit a line drive back of first.
Agler caught it, touched first and
threw' to second, tripping the run
ner who had been on second.
The second triple play was made
against Rochester. Mansor hit a line
drive over first. Agler grabbed it
with one hand, touched first, retiring
the man who had been there, and
then hurled across the diamond to
third, putting out Whitey Alperman,
then of Rochester, who had strayed
off third on what looked like a safe
swat.
* * *
J OE AGLER’S fielding feats stand
out so prominently that one is
likely to forget his batting stunts. But
he has proved a grand hitter at odd
times in his career, and alw’ays a
steady swatter at all times. In 1911,
against “King” Brockett, who had
just been secured by the Buffalo club,
Agler opened the game with a tw r o-
bagger. His next three times up he
singled. His fifth time up he hit
another two-bagger, giving him five
hits for seven bases out of five times
at bat.
Agler’s longest hit was made at
Jersey City off Walter Justus. Joe
laced the ball over the fence—a tre
mendous wallop and one rarely made.
* * *
I "I-IE hero of this sketch was born in
Coshocton, Ohio. If you want a
linguistic treat get Joe to pronounce
that name for you. It’s a wonder.
This, according to Joe. is considerable
of a ourg, with 20,000 inhabitants and
with novelty and “art” manufacturing
industries.
Evidently this town was- too giddy
for Joe, because if wasn't long befor-
he transferred his abode to Beach
City, Ohio. This is a flourishing burg
of at least 800 inhabitants.

BOUT FOR TOMMY MURPHY

phy. Murphy has beaten all of good
ones in his class, and his decisive

champion should, why doesn’t he
come out and fight.
B irmingham, ala., May 3.—•
In a weird and uncanny
series of evolutions which
could under no circumstances be just
ly styled baseball. Atlanta won the
last game of the series here this aft
ernoon the luscious count of 9 to 5.
Dilger. the Baron backstop, who
was on the bench, fainted, and a fight
took place in the bleachers, these be
ing the real features of the after
noon's entertainment. Next In order
might be classed a couple of near-
home runs, equally divided between
the Barons and their honored guests.
Alperman and Ellam were directly re
sponsible for those two breaks in the
monotony, the former netting three
runs as a result of his and the latter
two, but they both completed the cir
cuit as the direct result of errors.
Barons Field Badly.
Errors on the Baron side of the
argument were as frequent as Cracker
scores and the 6,000 or more of the
fans had hydrophobia in Its moat vio
lent form.
Brady, the deliberate, succeeded in
staying through the fiasco, though he
was touched up with some degree of
ease and freedom, while Thompson
was sent in to relieve Fittery in the
sixth, Fittery having been shot to
pieces long before he was taken out
of the line of fire.
The fireworks were set off in the
opening round. Long singled. Agler
walked and Alperman knocked one
between McBride’s lege w'hich went
for a home run. Welchonce fanned.
Smith made three bases then when
Messenger juggled and fumbled his
long fly. and Watty scored on Bis-
land’s two-bagger to right
Work a Double Steal.
In the second McBride hit for two
bases. McGilvray walked and Mayer
singled, scoring McBride. The double
steal was then worked successfully.
In the fourth, with two down, Car-
roll .‘■ingled and Ellam dropped a long
one. which was poorly handled. He
made the circuit, scoring Carroll also.
In the fifth Long drew a two-bagger
and scored on Alperman’s scratch hit
to right. Welchonce and Smith both
singled, the latter scoring. Alperman,
Bisland and Graham walked, forcing
Welchonce over the plate. Dunn hit
through Marcan, and Smith and Bis
land counted.
In the sixth McGilvray went, safe
on a scratch hit. Carroll singled and
McGilvray scored on Ellam’s Infield
out. The box score:
