W HEN Whltey Alperman went
over after a terrific grounder
hit by Spencer in the sixth and
caught the ball with the side of his
head there was a gasp front the
crowd It was a terrific blow—enough
to floor an ox. It didn't floor Whltey.
quite, but It put (lim out of the game.
And through the rest of a gloomy
afternoon the fans had a chance to
think w hat 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 Ills life.
It wilt be recalled that spite work
put him out of the big leagues. He
and Charley Kbbets had words and
the Brooklyn mogul said he would
spend $10,000 to keep "Whltey out
of the lilg league*. So he sent him
to Rochester. But when John Han
sel gave him up there was no question
of spite work. Jawn thought he was
"all through."
Lsist year Alperman played sensa
tional ball This year, with a better
club, he Is going even stronger.
Said King Brudy. the other day,
‘■I’ve known Alperman off and on
through hi* w hole career He Is play
ing better ball now than he ever did
In hie life -vastly better than when
he was with Brooklyn. And he was
a grand infielder then."

ALHHIKMAN has been a great man
for Atlanta. His hatting has been
timely and hi* fielding phenomenal.
Anv 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
Whltey the Cracker team would be
raeased up proper

r T wa» a freaky game the Crackers
loat yesterday. ITp 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 II
It was another wretched game for
the Crackers. Hood old Joe Dunn
had a hideous time of It, Agler pulled
a mlscue that cost two runs, a couple
of pops fell Rife 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 play at first and second
and the Crackers wasted enough hits
to win three ordinary games.
* • *
S EVERAL add propositions devel
oped. Seventy-seven per rent of
the Pelicans’ hits t ame after the fifth
inning. Seventy-five per cent of the
Crackers’ hits were made by the first
two men on the batting order. One
hundred per rent were made by Long.
Welchonce and Smith. Seventy--even
per cent of Atlanta's put-outs were
made by the last three men In the
hatting order.
Everything went by spots. And it
was a spotty, sloppy', chilly game.
• * •
T HE 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 i fielder. A little uebble
gave the hall that hit Alperman a
bad bound, knocked out a steady in-
flelder and cost another run. The
Crackers 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 Hailey, two of
the league's greatest pinch-hitters,
deliver a safe swat.

D AT WRIGHT, most bitterly ex<

staff of umpires, served his first sen
tence behind the hat Tuesday.
Once or twice Pat was palpably
off In a close game it would hav.‘
been exasperating. With everything
shot to blaze.s anyhow it did not
matter.
"But,” as one of the hall players
remarked, anent the fact that the vet
eran is generally wrong. “It's lucky

EW YORK, May 'J>. A few days ago i discussed the difi'ereut teams in the National
l.eacue race in ih'neral. To-day I will return to the same subject, sizing up the (Hants
and Pirates. Both teams were oft’ all over In the early part of the race.
The New York players displayed seme of the worst fielding seen on any diamond since
the late world's series. Noth Ilia was sure to the (Hants. The pitchers were also out of sorts.
7’esreau t'ailina to act nn.viua and Marquard Ixfina out of condition from sickness. The Giants
hopped Into their fielding stride last week with a slnale bound, and the infield is moving like
tring of firecrackers now. Instead of turning outs into base hits, as we were doing, the infielders are now cut
ting down base hits and converting them into outs, as several of the Pittsburg players will tell you if you get a
chance to consult them. That helps.
Following this encouraging sign, both Tosreau and Marquard stepped out and pitched good baseball last
week. Itube showing a very fine

•against the Pirates when he got tan
gled tip in a pitching battle with
Ca mult z. the one that went fourteen
innings. His fast ball had the hop
on It for the first time this season,
and when he is getting the jump on
bis fast one be is one of the best
southpaws in the business anywhere.
Tesreau also stepped forth in the lat
ter part of this same game and dis
played his old speed and the break
on his spitter which made hiui really
the leading pitcher of the National
league last season.
With these two men going at their
1 H*st, the Giants are sure to get pitch
ing. The only man on the stall* not
up to the top of his stride now is A1
Demaree, the recruit who has shown
such grand form so far this season.
He strained his side recently, and
will not Ik* ready to work regularly
again for about a week. But Tesreau
can go to the box every other day
if necessary, but it won’t Ik* necessary
with Marquafd and myself in shape
to take our regular turns.
* * *
r TNlK Giants have not hit up t«» any
* tiling like the pace they showed
last season so far, hut they should
but harder. Shafer, who has replaced
Snodgrass in center field, is one of the
most natural hitters I have ever seen,
and it is impossible to get him to go
after a bad ball. He has a wonderful
•\0 and is a splendid judge of balls
and strikes. His batting average din's
not show his true strength, localise
he reaches first base so often on
passes. He is also lightning fast on
the bases once lie arrives, and will
worry any pitcher badly.
Burns is capable of batting l**ttor
than he is doing at present. He is
still a little strange in the big league
tierth. but he is a good ball player.
Fletcher is batting hard, and Mer
kle ami Murray have picked up with
in the last. week. Meyers so far has
not acquired his last season's punch.
The club will get batting, and then
we should climb through the league
like the gossip of a kiss through a
boarding house.

■piTTSKFRG afrittored away ball
*- jiarnas until it came to New
York, when it took one of (hose sud
den braces and battled us to a practi
cal standstill. After leaving the Polo
Grounds, the Pirates went over to
Rrooklyn and choked down the fond
liojies of the Dodgers, when Dahlen
had been led to expect something soft
after the fine manner in which the
Boston club cleaned up four straight
on Clarke's crew. The Pirates have
the pitching and the hitting, and will
l>e in the contention for the cham
pionship.

D^OOKLYX has started to fade,
and I expect to see the team
drop, of course the club will not go
down to the depths to which other
Brooklyn teams have descended in
years past, but it will he lighting to
remain out of the second division be
fore the last word is in.
T
hi: St. Louis club is a big sur
prise. especially to the (Hants,
but it is going ahead of its normal
speed now. It has not the staunch
ness to last. The team has two ex
cellent pitchers, Harmon and Sallee,
and Konetchy is a great ball player.
So is Huggins. Tlie rest of the team
is nothing out of the ordinary, and
a club must be out of the ordinary to
win a pennant. Huggins’ peppery
personality has done a lot for the
team. Sallee will do a lot more if
he sticks in shaiie all season.

CARDINALS WILL HOLD
ON TO JIMMY SHECKARD
ST. Louis, May 28.— A yarn ema
nating from Cincinnati to the effect
that Jimmy Sheckard would be re
leased by the Cardinal club because
fits salary was too bulky was spiked
yesterday by Manager Huggins. “1
have no intention of releasing Sheek-
ard.” declared the Cardinal com
mander. ‘and 1 want to state that
emphatically. Shec&ard is a great
ball player, and be was paid accord
ingly by the Chicago club. We took
over his contract, but we re not kick
ing. Whether he will pi ay regularly

shaped itself as yet."

FODDER FOR FANS
Overall, of the Cubs, and Sallee, of
the Cardinals, engaged in a pitchers’
battle yesterday; which resulted in fa
vor of the former.

The Athletics took a double-header in
easy fashion from the Senators yester
day, winning the first 8 to 0 and the
second 7 to 1. Eddie Plank, the veteran
southpaw', pitched in the first and ai
lowed the Senators only two nits.
* * *
Peckinpaugh, the former Nap utility
Infielder, secured in trade by the Yan
kees. will be given a regular position at
shortstop. “Peck” is regarded as a
fast and brilliant fielder, but somewhat
shy with the war club.

Johnny Evers, manager of the Cubs,
openly accuses Pitcher Camnitz, of the
Piratefe, with deliberately hitting Cheney
and Archer with pitched balls and at
tempting} to hit Zimmerman. Evers
intends taking his complaint to Presi
dent Lynch.

Harry Lumley. once manager and star
player with the Dodgers, has been re
leased by the Troy. N. Y., team. An in
jury to his throwing wrist perhaps will
neecssitate his retirement from baseball.

The lowly Braves administered a dou
ble defat to the Giants, pushing the
New Yorkers down to fifth place, 25ft
points behind the leading Phillies.
• 4> •
The Braves’ second victorv of the day
was a clean-cut. deserved affair, but the
first game was won on a fluke. In the
ninth Sweeney hit to 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.
* •
Manager Stovall’s triple in the seventh
which scored a run followed by Aus
tin’s single, scoring Stovall w'ere
enough to gain a victory yesterday for
the Browns over the Tigers.

C. Webb Murphy, owner of the Cubs,
who recently forbade his players to con
verse with reporters, has another griev
ance against the newspapers. A short
time back Murphy set out on the trail
of “Rube" Scheur, a promising pitcher
of the Superior. Mis., team, in the
Northern League. The newspapers
primed the fact and the Superior club
owners at once boosted the price of
Scheur so high that Murphy balked.
Murphy now states the newspapers
“queered my deal.”

Dick Rudolph, the recruit from the To
ronto team, in the International League
who pitched for the Braves Monday,
holding the Giants at his merev. acted
as a relief pitcher again yesterday and
once again the New Yorkers were una
ble to score on him.
