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.

Seventy-seven per cent <»i 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.

A few days ago 1 discussed the* different teams in the National League race in general. To-day I will return to the same subject, sizing up tin* Giants and Pirates. Both teams were off all over in the early part of the race. The New York players displayed some of the worst fielding seen on any diamond since the late world's series. Nothing was sure to the Giants. The pitchers were also out of sorts. Tesreau failing to get moving and Mnrquard being out of condition from sickness. The Giants hopped into their fielding stride last week with a single bound, and tin* infield is moving like *rs now. Instead of turning outs into base hits, as we were doing, the infielders are now cut- *nd converting them into outs, as several of the Pittsburg players will tell you if you get a The Athletics took a double-header in easy fashion from tlie Senators yester day, winning the first 8 to 0 and the second 7 to i.

Tesreau also stepped forth in the lat ter part of this same game and dls- played his old speed and the break on his spitter which made him really the leading pitcher of the National League last season. With these two men going at their lH*st, the Giants are sure to get pitch ing.

The Braves’ second vietorv of the day was a clean-cut, deserved affair, but the first game was won on a fluke. In 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 and bounded away, while Connelly scored the only run of the game.
