I* was a terrific blow—enough
to floor an ox. ft didn’t door Whltey,
quite, hut 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 he recalled that spite work
put him out of the big leagues. He
and Charley Kbbets had words and
the Brooklyn inogul said he would
spend JHO.OM to keep •Whltey" out
of the big leagues. So he sent him
to Rochester Hut when John Gau
ze! gave him up there was no question
of spite work. Jawn thought he was
"all through."
Last vear Alperman played sensa
tional hall This year, with a better
club, he is going even stronger.
Said King Brady, the other day.
••I’ve known Alperman off and on
through his whole career He Is play
ing better hall now than he ever did
in his life vastly better than when
he was with Brooklyn And he was
a grand tndelder then”
* * •
\ r.HERMAN has been a great man
* A 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
Whltey the Cracker team would !»’
messed up proper.
• • •
IT wap a freaky game the Cracker*
* lost yesterday Dp 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 gam** 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 Dong slumbered at the switch
and failed to score from third on a
slow double play ar first and second
and the Crackers wasted enough hits
to win three ordinary games.
• • •
S EVERAL odd propositions devel
oped. Seventy-seven per cent of
the Pelicans' hits came after the fifth
inning. Seventy-five per cent of the
Crackers' hits were made bv the first
two m*n on the batting order. One
hundred per cent w ere made by Long.
Welchonee and Smith. Seventy-wvtn
per .cent of Atlanta’s put-outs were
made b\ the last three men in the
batting order
Everything went by spots And it
whs a spotty, sloppy, chilly game.
. • * •
7 "HE Pels had all the luck. Spen
cer'# home run over the signs was
an easy loft. The same hit to center
or left would- undoubtedly have beet)
an out to a fielder. A little pebble
gave the ball that hit Alperman a
bad bound, knocked out a steady in -
fielder and cost another run. The
Trackers hatted terrifically but never
at the right time. For instance, note
this coincidence Three times in suc
cession Long hit a single and Wei
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 leagues greatest pinch-hitters,
deliver a safe swat.
• * •
D \ T WRIGHT most bitterly exe
* crated of President’s Kavanaugh’e
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 have
been exasperating. With everything
shot to biases anyhow it did not
matter.
"Rut.” as one of the ball players
remarked, anent the fact that the vet
eran is generally wrong. "It's luck\
Pat’s name is Wright.”

FODDER FOR FANS
KW YORK. May »>. A lew days ago I discussed the different teams in the National
League race in general. To-day ! will return to the same subject, sizing up the (Hants
ami 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 lute world's series. Nothing was sun* to the Giants. The pitchers were also out of sorts.
Tesreau failing to get moving and Manpuml being out of condition from sickness. The Giants
hopped into their fielding stride last week with a single bound, and the infield is moving like
a string of firecrackers now. Instead of turning outs into base hits, sis we were doing, the infielders sire 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 Tesreau and Manjuard stepped out and pitched good baseball last
week. Kulie showing a very

fine game
against the Pirates when he got tan
gled up in a pitching battle with
(’ainnltz. the one that went fourteen
innings, ills fast ball bad the hop
on it for the first time this season,
and when he is getting the jump on
his fast one lu* is one of the best
southpaws in tlie 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 him really
the lending pitcher of the National
League last season.
With these two men going at their
lTest, the Giants are sure to get pitch
ing. The only man on the staff not
up to tlie top of his stride now is AI
Deuiaree. the recruit who has shown
such grand form so far this season.
He strained his side recently, and
will not l»e ready to work regularly
again for about a week. But Tesreau
can go to the 1h»\ every other day
if necessary, but it won’t l*e necessary
with Marquard and myself in shape
to take our regular turns.
* # *
'TMIK Giants have not hit up to any-
tiling like the pace they showed
last season so far. but they should
bat 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 lias a wonderful
eye and is a splendid judge of balls
and strikes His batting average does
not show his true strength, because
he reaches first base so often on
passes. He is also lightning fast on
the bases once he arrivets, and will
worry any pitcher badly.
Burns is capable of batting better
than he is doing at present- He is
•dill a little strange in the Ng league
berth, but he is a good boll player.
F1etclB*r t* hatting hard, and Me r
k 1 * and Mu era; have picked up with
m the le«t week. Meytrs <o far has:

The club will get batting, and then
we should climb through the league
like the gossip of a kiss through a
boarding house.

York, when it took one of those .sud
den braces and battled us to a practi

CARDINALS WILL HOLD
ON TO JIMMY SHECKARD
ST. Louis. May 28. A yarn ema
nating from Cincinnati to the effect
that Jimmy Sheekard would be re
leased by the Cardinal club because
hi* salary was too bulky was spiked
yesterday by Manager Huggins. "I
have no intention of releasing Sheck-
ard.” declared the Cardinal com
mander. "and I xxant to state that
emphatically. Sheckard is a great
hall player, and he was paid accord
ingly by the Chicago club. We took j
over contract, hut w-ev. not kick next Sunday'$ American

LONG WINNING STREAK
Overall, of the Cubs, and iSallee, of
the Cardicads, 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 Blank, the veteran
southpaw, pitched in the first and al
lowed the Senators only two hits.

Peckinp&ugh. the former Nap ,utility
infielder, secured in trade by the Yan

Johnny Evers, manager of the Cubs,
openly accuses Pitcher Camnitz. of the I
Pirates, with deliberately bitt’ng (’’mney

tempting to hit Zimmerman. Evers
intends ;*:king his complaint to Presi
dent Lynch.

Harry Lumley, once manager and star
player with the Dodgers, ha:- been, re
leased by the Troy. N Y., team An in

necessitate his retirement from baseball.

The lowly Braves administered a dou
ble defat to the Giants, pushing the
New Yorkers down to fifth place, 259
points behind the leading Phillies.
• * •
The Braves’ second victor' - of the day
was a clean-cut, deserved affair, hut the
“first game was won on a fiuke. In the
ninth Sweeney hit to the outfield, and
Connelly, rounding third, started for the
plate. Burns would have thrown him
out hv nearly ten feet, but the ball, in
stead of bounding into Catcher Meyers'
hand, struck Sweeney’s discarded hat I
and hounded away, while Connelly
scored the only run of the game.
Manager Stovall’s triple in the seventh
which scored a run. foHbwed by Aus
tin’s single, scoring Stovall. were
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
Gme back. Murphy set out on the trail
««f "Ruhr" Scheur, a promising pitcher
