OVER PITCHING
STAFF"-!
By Percy II. Whiting.
j ^ ^tt tE’LL pro flying when our
pitchers set right.” So
VT wild Bill Smith before
Monday*? game. “Nobody need
think we’re seared. I never saw
team playing better ball and losing
in my life than the Crackers did on
their trip. And they never lost their
nerve if the pitchers come through
we’ll win in a walk. And you needn’t
worry. They’re coming”
One of the pitchers came through
Monday nnd it was plain sailing for
the Crackers.
• • •
THF! Crackers have the best infield
1 and outfield combination that the
Southern league ever saw. That’s
positively official. There’s nothing
else in the world to It.
Bailey, Welchonce and Long form
the best outfield ever seen in the
Southern League.
Agler. Alperman, Risland and
Smith constitute an Infield the like
of which was never seen before in
Dixie.
The catching staff will do as it
stands to-day, and if it doesn’t con
tinue standing right Bill Smith will
kick it overboard and load up with
■- 'me men who can deliver. That’s
official too and right from Bill Smith.
The pitchers are Smith's only
trouble.
“At that they look pretty good,”
says Billy. “This Gilbert Price is a
positive marvel. I never in all my
days saw a hurler with more stuff.
He seems to weaken sometimes at
the end of a game I don’t know
whether he gets overconfident or
weakens physically. If he gets to
lasting all the way they couldn’t beat
him in fifty years.
“Bill Chappell*- showed us a good
game his last out and will win for
us I think. Brady’s work is perfect
ly satisfactory If this Dent goes
all right I’ll take mv chances.”
• * •
AS for Paul Musser. ho showed that
he was there with everything in
the catalogue yesterday. He allow
ed five hits, one a scratch home run.
If Tommy Long hadn’t misjudged this
hall badly only one run would have
been made off Musser. * His control
was vastly better than usual and he
looked a great pitcher.
As for the Crackers—they played
the ball they have been playing al
most all the season. They got to
Pitcher Kissinger of the Turtle team
only twice but it was enough.
In the third Graham slipped one
by Kissinger, Musser bunted safe—
a peach of a performance for a pitch
er—and Bailey cleaned up with a
single
In the fourth Bisland put across a
clean home run that won the game.
After that time the locals made hut
one hit. But they did not need even
that one.
• • *
T r HK new man, Bisland, looked like
A a legacy from your rich uncle. Be
sides hitting the homer that won the
game he fielded neatly and he looks
so much like a big league ball player
you couldn’t detect him from the real
thing in the broad daylight.
\\ ally Smith kept right on looking
like the wonder of the league. And
Whltey Alperman surely had a big
day. In the eighth he actually flew
after Ward's liner and in the ninth
he nipped what might have been a
rally by grabbing down Absteln’a aw
ful poke.
• • *
'T'HE game was played in one hour
and forty-six minutes, which Is
amazingly fast considering how other
contests of the year have lagged. Um
pires Bill Hart and Dan Pfennlnger
seemed to have developed some pep
per in their old age and kept things
hustling That the good work will
be continued is the earnest hope of
the fans. Draggy baseball games
don’t please anybody.

Cobb Not Greatest Ball Player
© O © © O O 0
“Keeler Superior to Ty”~Sullivan
XX
By Ted Sullivan
T HE return of Cobb to the Detroit
club and its continued clump
since he began to wear the team’e
uniform has served one object lesson to
the American public, and that is that
no one player, no matter how great or
skillful, can win games alone. Tt
takes nine men to win hall in any
fast league. It has been the case
in the past, and It will be ever thus
in the future. A pitcher of Walsh
or Johnson’s caliber may figure con
spicuously in the winning of a game,
but at that they must have fielding
and run-getting powers in their teams
to make them winners.
But let one tiling be Impressed on
the public mind—players may come
and go, but the game will go on for
ever Had Cobb not returned to the
Detroit team, the continued losings
of the club would have been laid to
bis absence, but it was a great vic
tory and eye-opener both for the De
troit people in all parts of America
that he did return, to show the super
ficial and unsophisticated how little
one man figures In the game, and
especially an outfielder.
To look at Cobb, or Cobbiem, from a
dispassionate and Impartial stand
point. let us see what Cobb’s status
is in the game. T grant he has the
right to ask for any salary he thinks
his services are worth; he realizes
that he is a drawing card at home
and abroad. He knows the bwners
of the club look at him from a com
mercial standpoint, and he views
them in the same light. He knows
also that there is a time limit to his
playing days, and he wants to make
the most of It. The home press and
the unsophisticated press throughout
the United States have been burning
incense to his greatness and telling
him that he is the one hall player in
the history of the game, which he
never was But as Detroit made, him
a drawing card, in their alopology. he
had a right to make them pay for it.
Which he has.
Infielder More Important.
Let us see where he figures ns a
ball player, compared with the play
ers of the past and present. He is
playing in the outer works of the
gaiiie as a fielder, averaging about
two fly balls to a game, with plenty
of time to think what he will do af
ter catching a fly ball or the ground
er that is bounding toward him. No
outfielder can be compared with an
infielder or a catcher as their posi
tions are entirely different in the na
ture of the work they have to per
form An inflelder's brain is In per
petual action from the time the
pitcher delivers the ball, and he has
only a fraction of a second to think,
so quick does the machinery of the
infield work.
Cobb is the beet run getter in the
profession to-day. Run getting is the
combination of hitting and base run
ning Base running has ever been the
spectacular part of a ball player’s
work, with all other things nearly
equal To .say Cobh was the great
est ball player in the history of the
game would be like telling a man who
saw the Mississippi River that the Il
linois River was the longest and larg
est in the United States, or to tell a
person who saw the summit of Pike’s
Peak that the range of the Allegheny
was higher.
I suppose it will be the same in the
next generation of ball players. They
will be a* skeptical of the baseball
prowess of Cobb. Wagner and Lajole,
as the present ones are of the great
ness of Mike Kelly, Ewing and Wil
liamson. As a fielder and thrower
Cobb could not stand comparison with
Fogarty, Curt Welsh. Bill Lange, and
a few others of the past and he Is not
to-day the superior a* a fielder and
thrower of Graney of Cleveland and
Moeller of Washington.
Thinks Keelsr Was Better.
There is a little modest man who
left the ball field two years ago,
namely, William Keeler, who did not
wear sleigh bells around a hotel to
let people know he was around, but
he was the superior of Cobb, as ver
satile a batter. But to say that Cobb
was the equal of the three great ball
players of the pas»t. namely. Ewing,
Wiillamaon, and Mike Kelly, would
be ridiculous.
Williamson was a third baseman
and a shortstop. He was one of the
greatest base runners in .the history
of the game. Besides being one of
the greatest inflelders that ever lived,
he w'as also a catcher and a pitcher.
Buck Ewing was undoubtedly the
greatest throwing, hitting and base
running catcher of them all. But
to compare Cobb, the outfielder, to
the immortal Kelly, who was the
craftiest base runner of all times, be
sides being one of the best batters
and catchers that ever lived, would
be like comparing a 2:40 horse to a
2:10 one.
To use a hyperbole, it could be
said that Mike Kelly behind the bat
and on the bases in the crucial con
test of a game sweat more baseball
cells Into the rim of his cap than
some players of to-day have in their
skulls
If Ty Cobb is guilty of the alleged
prlma-donna breaks in wanting ex
tra hotels and extra rooms from other
players and practicing when he wants
to—no one is to blame but the De
troit management themselves They
have petted and coddled him as much
as an indulgent mother does to a
child she has spoiled

KW YORK, May 20.—I have decided to give much space In this article to the fast-
going Phillies and Dodgers. The Philliefc merit considerable analysis. When the
Giants played them recently, I never saw a Philadelphia team playing better, and,
as there has always been plenty of feeling between the two clubs, they were very glad to
clean up on New York as they did. The team is benefiting from much better comiitions
this season than have existed in Philadelphia for many years, and these are mainly re
sponsible for the marked improvement, as it will be noted that practically the same men
are appearing in the hotting order that landed the team in the second division last summer. William Locks,
trie new president of the club. Is a practical baseball man, and he is giving Doom a chance to manage the team
without worrying him with a lot of trivialities. The result is that Dooin is getting good baseball out of his men,
the best that is in each individual'.
Again the Quakers have advanced
so far into the season without any of
the regulars suffering serious injuries
and being out of the game, almost
a record for the club. It is not likely
the team will go through the race
with this rosy record, and an Injured
regular or two will slow the club up
a good deal because Dooin is not well
fortified with substitutes.
• • •
’T'HE real strength of the team lies
-t- in the excellent pitching staff
which is the unexcelled feature of
the league at this writing. When
either Alexander, Chalmers or Sea
ton has been working, it has been
practically impossible for an oppos
ing club to do any hitting. It is this
great pitching which has permitted
the Phillies to make the good show
ing that they have, because they are
not a crowd of hard batters them
selves. They win their games by
small scores, depending on the pitch
ers and smooth fielding to prevent
the other side from rolling up many
runs. Now. when this pitching staff
begins to wilt under the strain of
the race and the heat of the summer,
as tt is liable to do, the Quakers are
going to find a very much harder
road to travel. They would Wve a
good chance for the pennant with
more sturdy batters. As it is now,
they are depending on their twirlers
and have not better than an outside
opportunity for the championship.
T
the surprise of the race. In its
ante-season performances, it made a
very poor showing, beiiig easy for
both the Athletics and Washington
teams of the American League. From
those scores, the Quakers looked like
the same old bunch, dead on their
feet, as they have always been, but
with the opening of the race on their
own circuit, they jumped away in
good style and are playing fast ball.
It is their speed and pitching that
have held them up so far.
• * •
(GY THERE will Brooklyn stop?”
»V is the question which is
stirring the baseball following por
tion of the populace now.
One of these days the Brooklyn
team is going to wake up and dis
cover that it is rated as a great ball
club, tremble at the idea and start
to lose. The Brooklyn boys should
finish in the first division. They
have talent at present to warrant
such a prediction, but they should
not crowd the winner of the pennant
in September. That is merely my
opinion. Perhaps it is based on the
years of mediocre baseball played in
Brooklyn and Philadelphia will find
it harder traveling when they start
away from home and invade the
West. Not that they will encounter
particularly tough competition in the
West, but. the handicap of playing
away from home diamonds and home
crowds is going to be a big one. It
will be observed that most of the suc
cesses of both these teams have been
made at home under the watchful
eye of home crowds. The Brooklyn
club has set its admirers crazy, and
men who have not been able to raise
up their voices to root for the home
club for years are tearing their
throats out regardless now. This all
helps a ball club, especially on that
floats into a winning streak sudden
ly, as Brooklyn has. Still the Dodg
ers may tear through the league as
Washington did last year and not let
up.
• * *
'T'HE Boston club is the one which
A is paralyzing the ante-season
critics. Nobody could see any good
in that team before the race opened,
with the possible exception of Stal
lings, the manager, and James Gaff
ney, the owner, and yet it is playing
ball and becoming the talk of the
town in place of the declining Red
Sox. Stallings is responsible for it,
because he is a manager who builds
up a club. Within a year or two
the Boston team is going to be one
to take into the pennant reckoning
I believe. The manager is digging
up new material which suits his pur
poses and developing it. One thing
he is looking for and which no other
Boston team has possessed for a
good many years Is speed. His sys
tem very closely resembles that fol
lowed by McGraw.
So far I have not seen St. Louis in
action, but I do not believe its show
ing to date is its normal stride. It
does not strike me that Huggins can
maintain anything like a first divi
sion pace. His club will not stand it.

J HEN the Giants were going
badly two or three weeks ago
and everybody was kicking the ball,
McGraw called “Larry” Doyle, the
good natured, to him after a game
and took up with him the matter of
an error he had made which figured
largely in the defeat of the Giants.
“Well,” replied “Larry,” “you’ve
got to hand it to me. boss. I make
all my errors when they count.”
This answer disarmed McGraw.
“You're a great little, pinch error
maker,” admitted McGraw.
* * •
T T must not be thought that I am
slighting the American League,
but there has been little change
during the week in that organization.
The Athletics are still piling along
with a comfortable lead, and Boston
is crashing down through the stand
ing, giving little indication of having
even a look-in for the flag. The Wash
ington club is the worst sufferer.
Griffith has had some hard luck that
has slowed up his team and hurt his
chances for the pennant very largely.
Foster, who within a year developed
into one of the best third basemen
in the league, is laid up with typhoid
fever and will be out of the game
for pretty nearly two months any
way. This destroys the smooth work
ing of the infield, because Laporte
is slow.
Johnson, the pitcher. Is the won
der of the season. He established
his record of fifty-six scoreless in
nings last week. To my mind, he is
not only the greatest in the game
to-day, but the greatest in the game
has ever produced. He did not make
1 this record against easy teams, but
against clubs composed of the hard
est hitters in the country. Griffith
did not pick any ‘spots" for him. My
hat Is off to him.

T O select an all-star baseball team
from the prep schools of Atlanta
this year is not as difficult as
it has been In past seasons. This year
there Is a star for almost every po
sition who is so much better than his
nearest competitor that there Is lit
tle chance for any disagreement.
Here are the names of the players,
the positions that they are given
and the schools which they represent
ed the past season.
Name Position School
Armistead catcher (Capt.) Boys High
Fox pitcher.... Boys High
Weston pitcher .... Tech Hiph
Callahan pitcher Marist
Lowery first base Marist
Bedell second base . Tech High
Allen third base Marist
Spurlock shortstop.. Boys High
Laird left field. Tech High
Rennolds .... center field . Tech High
Wells right field Peacock
J. Parks utility Tech High
Sam Armi9tead, of Boys High, is
without a doubt the best backstop in
the league this year. He steadies a
pitcher, leads the league in batting
and seldom allows a man to steal a
base. He is made captain of the nine
as* he knows the game thoroughly.
Fox Leading Pitcher.
The pitching staff is the only prob
lem on the team. Fox has shown up
the best this year, but one man is
not enough to do the twirling for a
team, so another had to be selected;
and right here is where the rub comes
in. Weston and Callahan are so
nearly equal In ability that it is nec
essary to name both. Callahan is* a
pitcher of the sensational style, a
pitcher who often fans the first nine
or ten men who face him and then
when his support weakens blows up
and loses the game. Weston has
pitched in only two games this year
but his Mhowing in both contests was
fine. Besides his pitching he is the
best batting and fielding twirler of
them all.
Jim Lowery gets the Job at first
base without any trouble. He is a
steady player and about the only man
on the Marist team who has not
“spilled the beans” in some game.
Bill Bedell is the right man for
second base. He is fast and has
swiped more bases this year than any
man in the league. He is also a good
batter.
Charlie Allen, of Marist, has not
played quite up to his usual standard
at third base this year, but, neverthe
less, his playing and hitting has been
good enough to warrant him a place
on the all-star team.
Weston and Parks, of Tech High,
are also crack third flackers, bir
Weston is also a pitcher and ParCs
has been given the utility job.
Spurlock Crack Shortstop.
Spurlock is in a class by himself
when it comes to playing shortstoi .
He has a good head and can hit an 1
field well. He is just what a short
stop should be. Harry Rennolds is
the best outfielder in the bunch and
is given a place at center. His field
ing average for the season is .996
and he is always there with the stick.
Johnny Laird is another good out- /
fielder and is especially good on dif-'
ficult balls. The other outfield posi
tion is given to Wells, of Peacock, al
though he is a shortstop. He is too
good a man to be kept off the team
and could play the outfield as well
as any of them.
Jim Parks, of Tech High, gets the
position of utility man, which is just
as important a place as any other one
on a team. Parks* is a good pitcher,
crack infielder and a slugger, one of
the best in the league, and he would
be a great asset to this team.
