Automobuino ABLER STARS IT FIELDING BT5T0ISCBRE Tech Has an Easy Tirfie Winning Second Game of the Series From Tennesseeans. EUBANKS ALLOWS 3 HITS Cracker Infielder Is Player, Au thor, Plumber, and Aspires To Be Farmer. 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.

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.

Murphy has beaten all of good ones in his class, and his decisive win over Wolgast entitles him to a chance for the title that Ritchie is guarding so jealously. If Ritchie intends to defend his crown, as a real 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: Crackers. ab. r. h. po. •. e.
