THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS, THURSDAY, MAY li>. 1913. II INS IN 3 IS. YET LISE By .Toe A pier. M KM PHIS, TENN., May IB.— Fuffehner will try to stop the Trackers’ losing streak to-day, >\ith Dunn rooeivlng. Bernhard Will rely on ICroh or Newton to take the last game of the series. The Crackers were defeated yester day in the last two innings, after having made seven runs. Smith sent Price, his lone south paw, to the mound at the start, but lie weakened in the eighth and was pounded t<> all corners of the lot. Musser was put in to check the raily, but he was wild and passed one man find made a wild pitch, so Chappelle was rushed to the rescue and he. too, wap liberal. The base on balls habit must be catching, a. w “Big Bill” passed a man with the bases 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 l! 1 runs, but were defeated in alJ three. Wally Smith continues to hit the hall hard, and he is respected by the pitchers. He wa.<* given his base on halls twice yesterday when a hit meant runs We are fighting hard to win and hope to stay above the .500 mark. If our pitchers can hold the Turtles to four or five runs we will probably win to-day's battle. Us Boys Big Doings Now the Masked Marvel Is on the Job Registered United States Patent Office.

DA., May 16.—Since Georgia has been forced 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 to Atlanta Friday morning, while Saturday the town will he practically depopulated. A special train will carry the Georgia students over for the day. Coach Plans Attack. Coach Cunningham is planning his attack for these games as carefully as a general would the maneuvers upon which depended the freedom of bis country. He lectures to his men every afternoon ns diligently as n college professor does to a class of freshmen and no angle of the ene my’s style of piny Is escaping his no tice. Cunningham has switched his bat ting order nnd, In the attempt to get mote 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 hatting 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 conch considers Morris his premier hurler and he will be 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. Uj>on 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 pla.\ed early in June in Texas, but It will hardly be considered by Georgia, ns the final examinations are in full blast at that time. LEAGUE GOSSIP N K\V YORK, May 15.—The biggest surprise of the baseball season so far is the Brook lyn club, which is playing wonderful bull right now. The team is not winning through luck, but liecau.se it is hitting hard, fielding smoothly and getting good pitching. I ran into Joe Tinker, the manager of the Cincinnati Beds, the other night after his club bad 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 of chances,” he replied. “I would rather meet the Giants right now than the Brooklyn club. The players have got that winning bug, find it gives them self-confidence. You can’t stop them. I had a man stealing second base by ten feet in the game to*da>, and he took a dive at the bag and nearly cut my leg off in an effort to make it. That’s what is winning ball games for them. It is the first time I ever saw such spirit in a Brooklyn club.” 90UTHERN LEAGUE. Games Thursday. AtlnntH at Memphis Chattanooga at NOW Orleans Birmingham at Montgomery Nashville at Mobile.

I haven’t seen them in action since they really ran into this wlnnlnx streak, because the (Hants made out pretty well In the last series we played across the bridge, hut Kvers and the rest of the malingers who have bumped Into Dahlen’s crowd recently declare they are tnk- inx all kinds of chances and xettinx away with them. Two or three of the pitchers have developed In Rood shape, too. Rucker, of course, Is a wonder among left-handers, although for a long time lie lias always pitch ed In hard luck and received poor support.

May IB.—Mana ger Jennings, of the Tigers, an nounced to-day that he will try to trade Pitcher Mullin to Washington Tuscaloosa Vanderbilt at Nashville Mississippi A and YOUNG AHERN BEATS M’COY. NEW YORK. May 15.—-Young | Ahern found little trouble outpoint ing A1 McCoy, of Brooklyn, in their 1 ten-round bout last night. Young j Hickey, of Harlem, outpointed Young M . J McCartney The winner came through ' waUi a rush in the last two rounds. W HAT do you think of the continuing our interview. “Same trouble ns the Cubs had In llKMl. nnd that the Athletics develop ed Inst yenr,” ho answered. “There is too much confidence. The players co out every day with this thought tn their minds: “‘Oh, pshaw, we've got the ball club. Walt until we once get start ed 1 We are the goods.’ "And then there will come a time when they will have to get started or lose out, and the club won't lie able to get nwa.v with tt. It Is the hardest thing In the world for a manager to contend with this feeling of snug satisfaction. McGraw Is do ing nil that he can to correct it. and he should accomplish his purpose If anyone can, because he is n game guy. The (Hants are playing bad bail 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 tt sure. I think McGraw will drive the team together eventually, and If he does, it looks like the best club iu the league to me. It has not the rugged- ness tt displayed last year, however." H inquired. “Chance and 1 have lieen up against much the same kind of a proposition this year. I saw l-’rauk just before the Yankees left Yew York for tlielr Western trip and had a long talk with him. “‘Joe.’ he said, ‘the club's not In very good shai>e. but the worst fault is that, nobody ever made them play baseball before. No manager ever rode them since Griffith left. They have Isnm doing as they pleased, and 1 am trying to make them play my 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 because 1 stuck him iu to finish a game.’ "1 hove a pitcher like that, my self,” continued Tinker. “He was one of those onee-ln-every-four-days boys. After he pitched he didn't even want to pilt on a uniform the next afternoon. " ‘Why, I never had to do it be fore,’ he protested the first time 1 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 of the Cincinnati players won't think. And my pitchers have gone laid on me. Two of the veter ans I expected to do the best box work have fallen down badly. One lias a sore arm and the other Is out of condition all around. As soon as these pitchers work around Into some kind of shape there should not be nn.v 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 be In the dining room not later than half jaist nine each morn ing when the team Is on the road. • • • 1 ( (117 HAT do you want, me down ’ » by half past nine for?’ whined one player the other day. ‘We never had to gat up that early before.' “ ‘You'll 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 3 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 am uot trying to spring any alibis for the Cincinnati team, Matty, because I have pulled some ‘bones' myself since taking charge, but I am trying to tench my players baseball. “If a pitcher looks kind of bad. I’ll tell a player to 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 nnd misses one. It’s two am} nothing on him. 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 has 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, nnd then ufter 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 staff, my club looks good, and we are bound to rise.” * * * «P'CNNY, Chance and you should •T run into the same kind of going,” said I to Tinker. ”1 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 Jim*, in conclusion. “Just wait.” (Copyright, 1913, by the McClure News paper Syndicate.)

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 by the 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 w’ho 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. X. Camden and Andrew Miller. 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 Avere 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, but 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. Attrldge will be behind the AMERICUS BASEBALL TEAM UNDERGOES BIG SHAKE-UP AMERICUS, GA., May 15.—The material strengthening to-day of the Amerlcus 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 bapeman in Paigue. Hamlin comes here from the Cotton States League as shortstop. The release of Pitchers Smith and Pruitt is announced to-day. Hal Gritfin, recently appointed temporary manager to succeed Manager Harris Weber, will probably be retained per manently in that capacity. bat in both contests for the Jackets Amaj-un 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 ready successor to the one and only ‘‘Goat” Holliday. He has the “beef,” but ground balls are not hard for him to hah. He spears them right and left and has as long a reach as was ever seen on Grant Field. For a first-year man he is decidedly cool and collected and doesn’t blow up. He is swatting the pill some, too. LaBt 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 be made on the 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 and not packed down and a ball does not roll as It should. However, If % 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.
