9 THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS, FRIDAY. MAY 23, 1013. BOUT WILL BE HELD JUNE 13 T HR Jim Rlynn-Jtm Savage ten- round bout will be staged at the Auditorium on June 13 The -leavyweights were originally sched- i!ed to exchange blows June 9, but he pc rap has been moved back four Jays on account of the Buffalo Bill ■irous, which will be here the latter late. The Fireman fights Jim Uoffey at New York Friday night and will leave 'or Atlanta soon. The promoters of he Auditorium show have made ar rangements to have both contestants >n the battle ground ten days be fore the scrap, which should give he fans ample time to see the two neavyweights in their training work. Savage has been boxing several of the big hopes in New York and i>• bping touted as a real contender for the heavyweight crown. His bout with Flynn should prove a great chance for the clever boy. Many of the Bastern boxing followers, who have seen Savage in action lately, are boosting him as another Jim Corbett. * * * T HK winner of the Auditorium show will probably meet Gunboat Smith >r Luther McCarty. McCarey an 1 ’offroth both have their eyes peeled on the June 9 show and it would not be surprising to see the coast pro moters send for the winner. Two other gqod ten-round battlee will be held in connection with the heavyweight tilt. Mike Saul. well known around these parts as one of he toughest lightweights, will prob ably meet Eddie Hanlon in one of he battles, while Spider Rritt and Meyer Pries may swing the padded gloves in the other set-to. * * # F HESE three fiiills should certainly * 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. Rritt 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. * * * wAl'L and Hanlon need no introduc- ^ tion to local fandom. Mike was “ated as a contender for the light weight crown until he lost on a foul o Abel when out of shape. Mike says he is out to win back his lost iaurels and many of the local fans *re with Mike to the last. Hanlon has always claimed that Saul was , one boy whom he could lick. Sports and Such /WWVWVWWVN^ArfN \ \ By RIGHT CROSS THE STANDING of the clubs ‘ in the oig leagues at this writing forms a fine chance for that much- talked-of • rushing attack” in base ball which is known as the "base- running game." It is a theory of students of the great national pastime that a team of fast and skillful base steal ers hat 1 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 flit from base to base. This seems? to be an off season for flit ting. The Red Sox are not only- way down in the league race, but they arp 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 “rui'hing attack” stuff. Base steal ing h* 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, hut useful only when the battle is half won. In the old days of the great game of war no general in his sienses ever sent cavalry against an unshaken defense. Napoleon, through a mistaken conception of the situation, did it at Waterloo and 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 Uobb, 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 Wealing as a system of offense in a ball game is nix.

Cracker Attack Most Deadly Ever © O Q © © 0 © Local Club Is Stronger Than Gulls By Percy' H. Whiting. T HE Cracker (earn 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 can beat out bunts if by chance they lay them down; they can wait out a wavering pitcher; they can 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. * m *t lirHV this team shouldn't wallop the stuffing out of .Mike Finn's club VV 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. I'aulet. 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 heat Atlanta out of the pennant they better have pitchers who are. about eleven times as strong as the Crackers' slabmen. * * * 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. * » K B EFORE the Mobile season is over some cast-off is going to 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-Gu’ls now with the Crackers had all the better of the argument. Sentell didn’t play, and A1 O'Dell made a coupie 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. that 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 Smirh stuck in Dunn, just to show up Mike. Only one Gull tried to steal, and he was pegged out easily. N * M IKE FINN is playing himself tip 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 gather this spring, a fake "signed statement," alleged to have been written by Mike, appeared In various papers around ihe circuit and 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 play. Once in a while a 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. It’s a fine fix. with (he season just started and our team losing a game or two a day." * tt K rpHE suspicion prevails that the Gull fans will have only to consult the 1 standing of the clubs 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 414-game lead can be shot to bits in five games, if they turn out right.. Anyhow, the Crackers will try to do what they ran for the noble cause.
