• aught the ball with the side or ms
head there was a gasp from the
cro*d. It was a terrific blow—enough
to floor an ox. It didn’t floor Whitey,
luite, but it put him out of the game.
And through the rest of a gloomy
afternoon the fans had a chance to
think what a difference it would make
to the Crackers if anything happened
to Alperman.
The odd thing about Alperman is
that he’s playing better ball now than
he ever played in his life.
It will be recalled that spite work
put. him out of the big leagues. He
and Charley Ebbets had words and
the Brooklyn mogul said he would
spend $10,000 to keep “Whitey out
of the big leagues. So he sent him
to Rochester. But when John Gau
ze! gave him up there was no question
of spite work. Jawn thought he was
• all through.”
Last year Alperman played sensa
tional ball. This year, with a better
club, he 1s going even stronger.
Said King Brady, the other day,
"I’ve known Alperman off and on
through hi» whole career. He is play
ing better ball now than he ever did
in his life—vastly better than when
he was with Brooklyn. And he was
a grand infielder then ”
* * *
ALPERMAN has been gn-at man
-* for Atlanta. His batting has been
timely and his fielding phenomenal.
Any man who could plug the gap that
Otto Jordan left has some size to
him. And Alperman has more than
done it. If anything happened to old
Whitey the Cracker team would be
messed up proper.
* * *
TT was a freaky game the Crackers
• lost vesterday I’p to the seventh
the Pelicans had made five hits and
four runs. The Crackers had made
eight hits and two runs. Then every
body ’blew'* at once on the Cracker
side and the visitors romped, 8 to 2.
It was another wretched game for
the Crackers. Good old Joe Dunn
had a hideous time of it, Agler pulled
a miscue that cost two runs, a couple
of pops fell safe for lack of a little
determination in getting under them,
Tommy Long slumbered at the switch
and failed to score from third on a
slow double piny at first and second
and the Crackers wasted enough hits
to win three ordinary games.

the Pelicans’ hits came after the fifth
inning, fcb venty-five per cent of the
Crackers’ hits were made by the first
two men on the batting order. One
hundred per cent were made by Long,
Welchonce and Smith. Seventy-seven
per cent of Atlanta’s put-outs wen-
made by the last three men in the
batting order.
Kverythlng went by spots. And ii
was a spotty, sloppy, chilly game.
T HR Pels had all the luck. Spen
cer’s home run over the signs was
an easy loft. The same hit to center
or left would undoubtedly have been
an out to a fielder. A little pebble
gave the ball that hit Alperman a
bad bound, knocked out a steady in-
flelder and cost another run. The
Grackers batted terrifically but never
at the right time. For instance, note
this coincidence: Three times in suc
cession Long hit a single and Wel
chonce followed him with a single.
Twice none was out. Once one was
out. Not once in three times could
either Alperman or Bailey, two of
the league’s greatest pinch-hitters,
deliver a safe swat.

The Braves’ second vietorv of the day
was a clean-cut, deserved affair, but the

ninth Sweeney hit fo the outfield, and
Connelly, rounding third, started for the
plate Burns would have thrown him
out by nearly ten feet, but the ball, in
stead of bounding into Catcher Meyers'
hand, struck Sweeney’s discarded hat
