THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN ANT) NEWS. FRIDAY. MAY 23, 1913. t BE HEED JUNE 13 T HE Jim Flynn-Jim Savage ten- round bout will be staged at the Auditorium on June 13. The heavyweights were originally sched uled to exchange blows June a, but (he wrap has been moved back four days on account of the Buffalo Hill circus, which will he here the latter da te. The Fireman tights Jim Coffey at New York Friday night and will leave for Atlanta soon. The promoters of the Auditorium show have made ar rangements to have both contestants on the battle ground ten days be fore the scrap, which should give the fans ample time to see the t«vo heavyweights in their training work Savage has been boxing several of the big hopes in New York and is being touted as a real contender for the heavyweight crown. His bout with Flynn should prove a great chance for the clever hoy. Many of the Eastern boxing followers, who have seen Savage in action lately are boosting him as another Jim Corbett. * * • X HE winner of the Auditorium show 1 will probably meet Gunboat Smith or Luther McCarty. McCarey and Coffroth both have their eyesfpeeled on the June 9 show and it would not be surprising: 10 mee the coast pro moters send for the winner. Two other good ten-round battles will be held in connection with the heavyweight tilt. Mike Saul. well known around these parts as one of the toughest lightweights, will prob ably meet Eddie Hanlon in one of the battles, while Spider Britt and Meyer Pries may swing the padded gloves in the other set-to. * * * X HESE three mills should certainly 1 bring together some dandy mill ing. Fans who have seen Britt and Pries box against each other know what a sterling scrap they usually put up. Each has a grudge against the other and a bloody contest Is usually the result. The last time the two boys met. Britt was awarded a slight shade by the referee, although most of the fans present thought a draw- was the cor rect verdict. After the scrap Mike Saul, the referee, said he would have called the mill an even thing had Pries not indulged in foul tactics. *> * • CAUL and Hanlon need no introduc- tlon to local fandom. Mike was rated as a contender for the light weight crown until he lost on a foul to Abel when out of shape. Mike says he is out to win back his lost laurels and many of tlte local fans are with Mike to the last. Hanlon has always claimed lhat Saul was one boy whom he could lick. Sports and Such THE STANDING of the clubs , in the big leagues at this writing forms a fine chance for that much- tnlkea-of ‘rushing attack” in base ball w hich Is known as the ‘‘base- running game.” It is a theory of students of the great national jmstime that a team of fast and skillful base steal er? ha? a tremendous edge at the go-off in a battle with a team less gifted in this direction. Let us give a look: The Boston Americans, the world’s champions, are popularly known as the Speed Boys, a name which arose from the dazzling rapidity with which they are wont to (lit from base to base. This - —m-' to be an off season for flit ting. The Red Sox are not only way down in the league race, but they are also way down in the base-stealing records for the sea son. * • * THERE ARE OTHER EXAM PLES that might be pointed out. but there is no use rubbing it in, . and we don't owe Boston any con sideration anyway. The Red Sox are enough to prove the point, which is namely, to wit, i. e.—that a losing club doesn’t pull any “rufhing attack” stuff. Base steal ing is* the diversion of winners. It is not so much a cause as an effect. Base stealers are the lancers of a baseball army. They are highly spectacular, but useful only when the battle is half won. In the old days of the great game of war no general in his senses ever sent cavalry against an unshaken defense. Napoleon, through a mistaken conception of the situation, did It at Waterloo r ftnd lost. It is the same way with base stealing In baseball. When you have the other team on the run you can complete the rout by running wild on the bases, but we have never yet seen a team run wild to any extent when it is five runs behind. It is true, of course, that an in dividual base runner, like Cobb, for instance. will occasionally steal second at a critical moment and thus lay the foundation of a winning run. But this is beside the main point—that base stealing as a system of offense in a ball game is nix. SILK HAT HARRY’S DIVORCE SUIT • • • • Rummy Should Worry • • • • Copyright. ISIS.

Cracker Attack Most Deadly Ever © O © © © Q © Local Club Is Stronger Than Gulls By Percy H. Whiting. T HE Cracker team has the most deadly attack ever seen in the Southern League. Napoleon's pet troops or a band of war-pathing Comanches look tame beside them. Day after day they drive pitchers to cover. All teams look alike to them. All pitchers are the same. They can slug the ball over the lot; they pan beat out bunts if by chance they lay them down; they can wait out a wavering pitcher; they ran run bases; they can use the hit-and-run; they shine at the run-and-hit. There isn’t an offensive maneuver, barring the bunt, at which they do not shine. * N « W HY this team shouldn't wallop the stuffing out of Mike Finn's club in three out of every four battles, provided the Cracker pitchers made even a half-decent show, we can’t see Nor can anybody who wit nessed yesterday's game. Mike Finn has a pretty well-balanced club. Paulet. Stock, Starr and O'Dell are good men. Of course, alongside of Agler, Alperman, Bisland and Smith they don't look so much—but that’s a fair average infield Clark, Jacobson and Robertson are good outfielders, but In offensive and defensive strength they do not average up to the Crackers. In catching strength the teams are about a stand-off. If the Gulls hope to beat Atlanta out of the pennant they better have pitchers who are about eleven times as strong as the Crackers’ slabmen. * tt W I N Thursday’s game the Cracker pitcher had all the advantage. Two veterans were out—Brady and Campbell Of course It is not Insinuated that Brady classes with Campbell in antiquity, but then he's no fledgling. And Brady plastered it all over Campbell. "The King” held the dangerous Campbell hitless, didn't give the sav age Robertson' one he could push out of the infield, and had the rest of the collection swinging themselves sick at his offerings In the meantime the Crackers were eating Campbell alive, and finally ended by piling up nine hits for eleven bases In six Innings. With the Crackers ahead, 7 to 2, the game was called on account of darkness, with the rain falling hard and everybody ready to call It off and go home. « m *. B EFORE the Mobile season Is over some cast-off is going tfl figure. They always do. Mobile has O’Dell and Sentell, former Crackers. Atlanta has Long and Dunn, former Gulls. So something has to happen. In yesterday's game the ex-Guils now with the Crackers had all the better of the argument. Sentell didn't play, and A1 O’Dell made a couple of errors. Long made three hits out of four times up. while Dunn kicked over a single and threw faultlessly to second. Bill Smith offered a direct challenge to the Gulls by using" Joe Dunn. Before the season Opened Mike Said, In all kindness but with great firm ness, lhat Joe Dunn’s arm was gone. Probably he really thought it. But Dunn's work this year hasn’t proved Mike’s prediction. And to-day Smith stuck in Dunn, just to show up Mike. Only one Gull tried to steal, and he was pegged out easily. K St K M IKE FINN Is playing himself up as the victim of misguided confi dence. Understand. Mike doesn't mean that he's been the goat of a confidence game—you see it’s like this; After the Gulls began to galher this spring, a fake 'signed statement," alleged to have been written by Mike, appeared in various papers around the circuit arid was played up strong in Mobile. Then the season opened and Mike’s "statement” went Over strong. The result was that the Gull fans lost interest. It's got so bad now," said Mike, "that they don’t come out at all to see us plnv. once in n while ft few will turn out. sort of to celebrate our having won a pennant. The rest of them have dismissed the season as a closed incident, have credited themselves with a pennant won and have turned to other things, ft’s a fine fix. with the season just started and our team losing a game or two a day." ». * R T HE suspicion prevails that the Gull fans will have only to consult the standing of the cluba to wake themselves up by the time the team 'returns home. The Gulls have lost the last three games straight, and the last six out of seven. They are going about as poorly now as a team can go. It will not take them long to kick away their lead at this rate. Before returning home the Gulls have to play two more games with the Crackers, three in Chattanooga, four in Nashville and four in Memphis Any of the Tennessee clubs might furnish trouble for the Gulls, now that they have flickered. And a 4V4 g«nie lead can be shot to bits in five games. If they turn out right Anyhow, the Crackers will try to do what they can for the noble cause.
