THIS SEASON
By Percy H. Whiting.
|T looks as though the Southern
-• League were set to make a killing
m this year. The attendance thus far
has been marvelous.
At the opening of the season, thanks
lo the early start and the consequent
bad weather, receipts were not what,
they should have been—but at that
records were broken.
Since the weather has come around
a nd warmed up decently there has
been nothing to it but ENORMOUS
crowds.
Here In Atlanta all records for early
attendance were smashed. Chatta
nooga has held up well, despite the
wretched w'ork of the team. Nash
ville has had corking crowds. Mem
phis is off in attendance—and al
ways will be as long as a cheap team
is inflicted on the Bluff City folks.
Birmingham has had amazing crowds.
Tlie attendance in Montgomery is
FINE. New Orleans has been a shade
pff. And Mobile—well, please picture
nearly 8,000 people flaying their way
in at the turnstile there!
If the race stays close the atten
dance records will smash all records
to bits

D OWN in New Orleana there ts a
feeling that the Pelicans’ chief
played a pretty shrewd joke on the
Crackers by euchring them out ol
Williams.
Maybe so. We’ll let it go at that—
if they will.
But to Cracker fans it appears that
the joke is on Frank. After Williams
debut here and while it was supposed
he still belonged to the Crackers 1
asked ‘Bill Smith, “What about Wil
liams?”
Now Bill is slow to criticise a man.
But there wasn’t any room for ar
gument in this case.
“I don’t care a lot for what he's
showed me yet,” was Bill’s reply, “He
may come around, but—” and he
sighed.
Bill was tickled to death to be so
well rid of Williams.
• As for Bisland—he continues to look
like a million dollars ($1,000,000)!
This lad wasn’t one of the kind who
was hawked around and nabbed by
the highest bidder. Smith has had
fvis eye on him for six months. When
he found out Williams wouldn’t do he
wired Barney Dreyfus*, “What will
you rake for Bisland?”
About that time it began to appear
that Hans Wagner was coming
around all right, so the Pirates made
/ a stiff price on Bisland. The local club
closed so fast it took their breath
away*
As for Williams—well, we’ll keep
Bisland.
* * *
B ASEBALL writers the country-
over are hooting at what they call
the “Cincinnati” base hit. It is one
of these fielder's choices that, by dic
tum of Ban Johnson, is to be scored
ta base hit.
For instance, a runner is on first.
The batter, on the hit and run,
grounds weakly to the third baseman.
The third baseman tries to land the
runner going to second. The throw
is too late. And all hands are safe.
But had the third baseman thrown
to first It would have been an easy
out.
Ban Johnson says it’s a hit.
The baseball writers say it’s a “Cin
cinnati” hit.
In the Atlanta press box we score
that in what appears to be the only
logical way Tf the thing looks like
.in infield hit and it appears that the
runner would have beaten it we give
the batter a hit. On the other hand,
if il i-' apparent that the batter
would have been out a mile at first,
if the throw had been made there, we
score it a fielder’s choice.
Of course there are some close de
cisions on this—but so there are on
a lot of other hits, when the scorer
must decide whether to let them go
as hits or errors.
It is better to let the scorers use
their judgment than it Is to give men
hits when they were not entitled to
them.
It isn’t that we object to giving the
batters a few' unearned hits—but these
hits go ag-ainst the pitcher just the
same as screaming singles and work
an aw T ful hardship on him. The pitch
er is thus*' made to pay the penalty
because the infielder throws to the
wrong base.

BOSTON, MASS., May 6.—Manager
George Stallings of the Boston Braves
is planning a blj shake-up in his
team, which he hopes will help put
Boston on the baseball map.
Stallings started! the shake-up yes
terday when he sold George “Hicko
ry” Jackson, the former Southern
League boy, who has held an outfield
berth with the Braves for some time,
to the Buffalo club of the Internation
al League. He will join the team at
Providence.
Buster” Brown is also doomed to
walk the piank. The big right hand
er has shown nothin^ so far this sea
son and Stallings has about decided
that Brown w’ill not do.

Brady to stop the high-ftying
Gulls, with Pat Ctranam receiving.
Manager Finn will use Bradley Hogg,
the undefeated pitcher, with Schmidt
catching.
Atlanta lost again yesterday, 10 to
6.
Bausewein got away bad and gave
the first three batters bases on balls.
Musser and Price were not effective.
The Gulls walloped the ball hard
and it seemed as though they would
hit any pitcher that w'as sent in the
box. It was just one of those days
when they would hit anything that
was served up to them
The Crackers were the first to score,
but were overtaken.
The Gulls hit at opportune times,
■while we got all our hits after two
men were out.
Bisland continues to hit the bail
hard. His two triples would have
been home runs on the Atlanta
grounds. The fans of Atlanta will
see in Bisland one of the most fin
ished shortflelders ever in the South
ern League.
The Crackers hope to get at least
an even break, and will try hard to
annex two games to the won column.
We all hope Bill Bailey will soon be
in shape to don the spangles and be
with us, as he is missed very badly.
Yesterday's game w r as the eighth
straight win for the Gulls and the
second of the series with the Crack
ers. Campbell went the route for
Mobile. He fanned five men and gave
one pass.
Robertson, with two homers and as
many singles In five times up, led
the batting. Jacobson, in five times
at bat, got a homer and two singles.
For the visitors, Bisland, in foul
times up, got two triple-sackers. Long
found three safeties in five chances.
The game was long drawn out, due
to the many batters going up.
Atlanta started off well with three
runs in the first on as mans' hits, one
a triple, but couldn't hold the pace
One run was put over in the farjjXt

Diamond News and Gossip
AP” RUCKER, of Brooklyn, is probably the most unlucky performer in the world, lie
can pitch shutout ball for nine innings and lose more games than any man who ever
stepped into the middle of the diamond. He wears the championship belt for this.
Rucker started against me in Brooklyn last week and did not give the New York elub
a 1)it for seven innings. The safe punches against him totaled only two in nine innings, and
yet he lost ills battle.
It was one of the keenest pitching duels in which 1 have ever engaged, and there was
nothing to do but work all the way.
When the thirteenth inning rolled around, and it was the Giants’ turn to but, a messenger boy handed Mc-
Graw a telegram. He looked at it for a minute, and saw it was numbered thirteen. He turned to the bench and
said : “Well, boys, here’s where we win it.”
fast as gossip in an actor’s boarding I club plays together well, too, and is a
TT was then (hat the Giants started
t tlie rally which tore Rucker
apart. He is a great twlrler. one of
the greatest in tlie game, and he as
sumes nothing. He does not com
plain because he has had his rare
talents buried among the relics of a
second division club ever since he in
vaded the big league. He is not at all
conceited. He takes his defeat phi
losophically and does not “lieef.”
Yet. like the rest of us, Rucker
hates to lose.
“They got to me at lsat,” he re
marked at tlie end of the thirteenth
inning. lie did not find fault with
any of his backers.
* * *
O OME may criticise me when 1 say
house now. One of the teams may
drop by the wayside on the Western
trip, but I doubt it. because T cannot
see any keen opposition in the West.
It will probably be a case tills year
of Washington and Philadelphia fight
ing it out. with every series between
them being of vital importance.
• * *
P ROPHETS are Springing up all
over the circuit every day who
openly declare that Washington is go
ing to win the pennant. Griffith has
one pitcher he cun fire against his
enemies any time he wants to lie sure
of a game, and his name is Walter
Johnson. He humbled the heretofore
unbeaten Plank in a thrilling battle
the other day.
So far on tlie season’s record, Grif-
great machine. 1 think that the real
battle will develop between tlie Sen
ators and Athletics.

AY THEN the Eastern clubs in the
VV American Eeague invade the
West tilts week, there will be a lot
of scars left on the teams that in
habit the West.
The Yankees will lie the only boys
that will look soft from present indi
cations.
Philadelphia and Washington are
two tough clubs this season. When
these two teams go West, they will
meet only one possible championship
contender, and that is Cleveland.
Cleveland appears to be going bet
ter so far in this race than the team
has in years, lint Washington is liable
to take the ambition out of the Naps.
Even during the many years when
the Senators were trailing along in
the dust of tlie American league,
they could always give the Cleveland
team a fight, as a weak club frequent
ly will some particularly strong one.
The Washington team took eighteen
out of twenty-two battles from the
Cleveland club last year.

B OSTON has been going bad ho
far this season, and the club
has not played ball at all like a
world’s championship team. Stahl’s
chances of repeating look to me to
l)e very slim, considering the compe

will probably bo out of the game a
good deal from now on, as he is slow
ing up. Stahl has been trying to dig
up a good first baseman to take his
place, but the digging has not been
very profitable. He made an effort
to grab Hal Chase, bur Chance was
looking when they tried to slip him
three or four boys whose names sel
dom appear in the headlines. If
Stahl could have picked up Chase, it
might have put him in the race. As
it is. it strikes me he is going to have

will finish the baseball season this year
with a clean slate So far this team
has won sixteen straight games and

could trim most of the colleges this
year.

The reason for the success of the Riv

pitching staff and' the slugging ability
of the players. Williamson, McNeill and
Haines are all first-class twlrlers.

The Brooklyns have more than heki

Another week and it will be.
What have the much-touted Giants

In the two Philadelphia games
played here the boys have not shown
the fighting spirit that they have so
long been noted for.
I will not say they have been in
different, but they have played a list
less game and that verges closely on
indifference with them for they are
famous for the good old “pepper.”
They have lacked that snap, the
fire, the ginger that heretofore have
