THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS, THURSDAY. MAY 15, 1910.
21 RUNS IN 3
DM UK
Bv tl’oo Agler.
M KMPHB8, TENN., May 15.—
Furchner will try to atop the
«’rackt.-rs’ losing streak to-day,
with Dunn receiving. Bernhard will
rely on Kroh or Newton to take the
last game of the scries.
The Trackers were defeated yester
day in the last two Innings, after
having made seven runs.
Smith xent Price, his lone south
paw. to the mound at the start, but
he weakened In the eighth and was
pounded to all corners of the lot.
Musser was put In to check the rally,
but he was wild and passed one man
end made a wild pitch, so Chappelle
was rushed to the rescue and he, too,
was liberal. The base on halls habit
must be catching, as “Big Bill” passed
a mart with the buses full and tied
up the game Then a long sacrifice
fly to center won the game for Mem
phis and we were defeated in another
one of those hard luck games.
Smith changed his batting order
yesterday, but it made no difference.
We could not make enough runs to
win. In the last three games we have
made 21 runs, but were defeated in
all three.
Wally Smith continues to hit the
ball hard, and he is respected by the
pitchers. He was given his base on
balls twice yesterday when a hit
meant runs.
We are fighting hard to win and
hope to stay above the .500 mark. If
• ur pitchers can hold the Turtles to
four or five runs we will probably
win to-day’s battle.

Georgia Batting Order Is Changed
© O O O Q 0 O j
Morris Picked to Pitch Saturday
A THENS. GA., May IB.—Since
Georgia has been foreed to the
last ditch and has been put on
the defensive by their ancient and
honorable technological rivals In At
lanta. the team and everybody in
Athens have taken on a Napoleonic
spirit and are more determined now
than ever to win the Friday and
Saturday battles.
Hundreds of loyal fans will accom
pany the team t<> Atlanta Friday
morning, while Saturday the town
will be practically depopulated. A
special train will carry the Georgia
students over for the day.
Coach Plans Attack.
Coach Funningham Is planning bis
attack fot these games <ia carefully
as a general would the maneuvers
upon which depended the freedom of
bis country. He lectures to his men
every afternoon as diligently as a
1 o|lege professor does to a class* of
freshmen and no angle of the ene
my's style of play Is escaping his no
tice.
Cunningham has switched his hat
ting order and, in the attempt to get
more effective hitters on the team,
has rammed Bowden in right field
and shoved him into second place in
the batting list. This gives him three
fast men in Ginn, Bowden and Mc
Whorter to “get on.” with Hutchens
and Henderson to hit them in. Both
the last two did good work with the
ash in the games here and they are
counted on to keep up their heavy
batting in Georgia’s last desperate
effort to land the Southern Intercol
legiate Association championship.
Corley Hurls One Game.
Corley will do the hurling in the
first game, while Morris will try to
ledeem himself In the battle Satur
day.
Cunningham stated last night that
there was no foundation for the re
port that Corley would work both
days. The coach considers Morris his
premier hurler and he will b<* re
lied on to win Saturday’s game. Both
have recovered from the fright oc
casioned by their first “big Tech
games” and have steadied down.
Upon them Georgia is still staking her
all.
Manager Carter received a chal
lenge from the University of Texas
for a championship series for the
Southeast and Southwest yesterday,
to be played early in June in Texas,
but it will hardly be considered by
Georgia, as the final examinations
are in full blast at that time.

j M» Cartney. The winner came tit rough
• vwa rush in the last two rounds.
N ’ KW YORK, May Id. The biggest surprise of the baseball season so far is the Brook
lyn elub, which is playing wonderful ball right now. The team is not winning through
luck, but because it is hitting hard, fielding smoothly and getting good pitching. 1
ran into Joe Tinker, the manager of the Cincinnati Reds, the other night after his Hub
had met Brooklyn in a couple of games. It is always good to get the angle of a smart
player like Tinker.
"What do you think of Brooklyn.” I asked Tinker.
"They’re diving and taking all kinds ofVhanees,” he replied. "I would rather meet the (Hants right now
than the Brooklyn Hub. The players have got that winning bug, and it gives them self-confidence. You can’t
stop them. I had a man stealing second base by ten feet in the game to-day. and he took a dive at the hag and
nearly cut my leg off in an effort t«* make it. That’s what is winning ball games Jor them. It is the first time
I ever saw such spirit in « Brooklyn
club.”
"Do you think they’ll hold up
through tin* season?”
"I ean’t see the team as a pennant
winner. If the Hub should get up in
the race for the ]K*nnant, the strain
of the fight would crack a lot of
those players. But they are certain
ly playing great baseball now.”
• • •
'TMNKKK'K <I1h«ih>nIk looks to me
■I- like a irood one. It is not my
opinion that the Brooklyn team has a
chance for the championship, but
there is no jjettinx around the fact
that the boys are playing high-class
baseball now. 1 haven’t seen them In
action since they really ran into this
winning streak, because the (Hants
made out pretty well in the last series
we played across the bridge, but
livers and the rest of the managers
who have bumped Into Dnhlen’s
crowd recently declare they are tak
ing all kinds of chances nnd getting
away with them. Two or three of
the pitchers have develop'd In good
shape, too. Hooker, of course. Is a
wonder among left-handers, although
j for a long time he has always pitch
j ed In hard luck ami received poor
support. Itugon. Curtis and Stack
have shown surprisingly good form
this season.
“YY T
1 » (Hants?" I asked Tinker,
continuing our interview.
"Same trouble as the Cubs had in
inoi), and that the Athletics develop
ed last year,” he answered. “There
is too much confidence. The players
go out every day with this thought
in their minds:
“ ’Oh. pshaw, w'e’ve got the ball
club. Wait until we once get start
ed ! Wc arc the goods."
"And then there will come a time
when they will have to get started
or lose out, and the club won’t be
able to get away with it. It is the
hardest thing in the world for a
manager to contend with this feeling
of snug satisfaction. McGraw is do
ing all that he can to correct it, and
lie should accomplish his purpose if
anyone can, because he is a game
guy. The Giants are playing bad
ball now. There is no doubt about
that. The pitchers are not going
well, and no play is certain.
"Some of the men are taking
throws with one hand when they
could grab the ball with two without
any. trouble and make it sure. I
think McGraw will drive the team
together eventually, and if he does,
it looks like the best club in tht
league to me. It lias not the rugged
ness it displayed last year, however.”
* * *
(tni'W about your club, Joe?" I
* 4 inquired.
’’Chance and I have been tip
against much the same kind of a
proposition this year. I saw Frank
just ta'fore the Yankees left New
York for their Western trip and had
a long talk with him.
“ Joe.’ he said, ’the club’s not In
very good shape, but the worst fault
is that nobody ever made them play
baseball before. No manager ever
rode them since Griffith left. They
have las-n doing as they pleased, and
1 am trying to make them play mv
sort of baseball, and they don’t know
what to make of it. There is one
pitcher on the club who wants his
four days’ rest, and he hollered the
other day las-a use 1 stuck him in to
finish a game.’
”i have a pitcher ‘like that, my
self,” continued Tinker. "He was
one of those onee-ln-every-four-days
boys. After he pitched be didn’t
even want to put on a uniform the
next afternoon.
" ‘Why, I never had to do if be
fore,’ he protested the first time I
ordered him to report the next day-
after pitching.
“’Well, you’re going to do it if
you stay with this ball club,’ I told
him. ‘I might want you to get out
there and finish a game of ball for
me to-morrow.’
"A lot oT the Cincinnati players
won’t think. And my pitchers have
gone bad on me. Two of the veter
ans I expected to do the best box
work have fallen down badly. One
has a sore arm and the other is out
of condition all around. As soon as
these pitchers work around into some
kind of shu|>e there should not he
any question about the club climbing.
My hardest job now is throwing the
fear of discipline into the' hearts of
the players. I have instructed every
man to he in the dining room not
later than half past nine each morn
ing when the team is on the road.
* • *
<( IT IT HAT do you want me down
by half past nine for?’
whined one player the other day. We
never had to get up that early before.’
“ ‘You'd get up that early if you
are going to work for me,' was my
answer.
"I believe in ball players getting up
early. You cannot expect a man to lie
in bed until noon and then get out
on the field full of ‘pep’ and ready to
play good baseball at 2 or o’clock.
If they sleep late, they are bound to
sit up late, which is a bad thing, since
late hours lead to the only places
which are open, mostly saloons. I
nm not trying to spring any alibis for
the Cincinnati team, Matty, because I
have pulled some ’Ismes’ myself since
taking charge, hut 1 am trying to
teach my players baseball.
“If a pifeher looks kind of bad, i'll
tell a player* td go up and take a
strike. He takes it and then looks
over to the bench at me.
“ ‘Go on and hit,’ I nod to him.
“Maybe he swings and misses one.
It's two and nothing on hitu. He gets
the count two-and two, and then fans
out.
“ ‘What’s the matter?’ I say to him
when he comes back to the bench.
'“If you’d let me hit that first one,
I'd have knocked it out the lot,’ he
answers. 'It was right where I like
them. No manager ever made me
take one before.’
“It’s tough work polishing off a
team which lias had this sort of
training, and it can’t be done in a
month or two. Some of the players
don't understand why I want them to
take one, and then after they do they
know they have an alibi for not hit
ting it when they come back to the
bench, and maybe they ain’t up there
fighting all the time. Outside of my
pitching start', my club looks good, and
wc fire bound to rise.”
* * *
iCPpUNNY, Chance and you should
t run into the same kind of
going," said I to Tinker.
“I saw Mr. Farrell the other day,”
answered Joe, “and we were talking
about Chance.
“ ‘You’ve got the smartest baseball
manager in the world,' I told the own
er of the New York Americans. ‘Give
him time, and he’ll give you a ball
club.'
“Wait until .Chance gets in the
game himself and starts riding those
pitchers out there from first base,”
predicted Joe, in conclusion. "Just
wait.”

FOR THE SARATOGA SPECIAL
NEW YORK, May 15.—The Saratoga
Special, one of the best of the two-year-
old races that will be run at Saratoga
Springs in August has closed with 31
subscriptions. It is a truly sporting
stake and when it was framed r>y th*
late William C. Whitney it was in
tended to be the richest fixt/re of the
turf.
John E. Madden is the heaviest nomi
nator with three, while Richard T. Wil
son and H. K. Knapp, who races under
the name of the Oneck stable, have
taken two each.
Among others who have made nomi
nations are August Belmont. C. K. G.
Billings. .John Safford Richard F Car
man. Woodruff Clay. Frederick John
son. Alex Smith Cochran. J N. Camden
and Andrew Miller.
I White City Park Now Open
G EORGIA is putting in a strenu
ous week batting and running
bases, according to reports
from Athens. The Tech team, on the
other hand, is leading a quiet though
busy life out at Grant Field.
. Coach Heisman is exercising great
care to keep his men from going stale.
This is especially true of the pitchers,
who are just throwing enough to keep
in trim.
The Jackets were a little weak on
base running and fielding last week,
and, these departments are getting
their quota of attention from Coach
Heisman. Making the little pellet
stick in the pesky glove was another
jinx that seemed to bother the Jack
ets in their contests with the uni
versity hoys, and several times after
men were out the ball was dropped.
The Tech players are getting lots of
practice at "squeezing it” this week
and should show an improvement.
Tech Hurlers Loafing.
Pitts and Eubanks, the Tech
hurlers, are only keeping their arms
in trim and are saving their best stuff
for the coming games. Pitts will play
right field in one game, probably the
first, and Malone in the other. Pitts
is a good fielder and so far has out-
hit any man on the team. In practice,
Malone is one of the best hitters on
the team, hut has failed to get a sin
gle hit the whole season. One rea
son is because he never played a
whole game until the last 'Georgia
game, but was several, times put in
for a pinch hitter.
Team Works on Tricks.
Coach Heisman will probably show
some new tricks in base running and
throws in the games Friday and Sat
urday. The team is practicing some
clever tricks.
Extra seats are being put up now
at Grant Field and there will be a
seating capacity for about 3,000
people.
A new umpire has been chosen—
Harris Cope. He will umpire both
games.
Eubanks Works Friday.
It is settled that Eubanks will twirl
the first game and Pitts will work on
Saturday. Attridge will be behind the
AMERICUS BASEBALL TEAM

AMERICUS. GA., May 15.—The
material strengthening to-day of the
Americus team of the Empire League
restores interest and confidence here
to a considerable extent.
Jesse Wolfe has been secured from
Albany by purchase, and will lead off
in the box at Thomasville to-day.
The Americus management has
likewise secured an excellent second
baseman in Paigue. Hamlin comes?
here from the Cotton States League
as shortstop.
The release of Pitchers Smith and
Pruitt is announced to-day. Hal
Griffin, recently appointed temporary
manager to succeed Manager Harris
Weber, will probably be retained per
manently in that capacity.
SMITH BUYS TWO PLAYERS;

MEMPHIS, TENN., May 15.—Billy
Smith has purchased Pitcher Pent from
(ho Senators and Catcher Devopht from
the Boston Braves. Both will report
to the club at once.

Amazon on first base is playing in
good form and during last week’s se
ries displayed some up-to-the-minute
stuff. He is fast developing into a
reaefy successor to the one and only
"Goat” Holliday. He has the "beef.”
but ground halls are not hard for him
to nab. He spears them right and left
and has as* long a reach as was ever f
seen on Grant Field. For a first-year
man he is decidedly coo! and collected
and doesn't blow up. lie Is swatting
the pill some, too. Last week he hit
for what looked like extra bases al
most every time up, but each time
McWhorter laid way back in the
shadows and gathered them all in.
It is thought that comparatively few
extra base hits* will he made on the f
Jackets’ diamond, owing to the level
ness of the field and the closeness of
the banks which form this amphi
theater. The outfield is soft an£ not
packed down and a ball does not roll
as it should. However, if a ball does
chance to be batted over the out
fielders’ heads*, it is good for two sacks
anyway, and for a fast man, more.
"Scrappy” Moore managed to land
on the spheroid for one homer on
Grant Field, and several others for
triplets; so extra base hits are not
impossible.
