THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN ANP NEWS, 9 USE OF BEAN Bringing Up Father • • • • • • • • Copyright. 1918, International N'fws Serrlco • • • • By George McManus r HE I leuj By Percy II. Whiting. Hesitation in the major leagues against the "bean ball" i hi. stirred a -responsive chord j in the Southern League. "Go to it.*’ say players and funs alike. You know what the "bean ball" is. of course. It is a ball thrown by the pitcher at the head of the batter. Its pur pose may be to intimidate a batter lacking in courage or to force away from the plate a man who is crowd ing in too close to suit the pitcher The play is barbarous and should be eliminated from the game. * * * A S contemptible an exhibition of bean ball throwing as Atlanta fans ever saw occurred yesterday. In the sixth inning, when Wally Smith was at bat. he ran in t<» the limit of the batter’s box in an effort to smear one of Finis Wilson's curves. Wilson put up a complaint to the umpire, but there were no grounds for it, and Um pire Pfenninger disregarded it. Th^ next ball Wilson threw straight at Smith's head. Wally ducked and escaped, but by no wide margin. Again Wilson threw at Smith’s head, j and this time with such unerring aim , and such tremendous speed that when Smith ducked the ball struck the bat that he threw in front of his head as he went down. But for this lucky chance Smith would have received a terrible wallop on the head, would unquestionably have been laid out and perhaps killed. * * * \17ILSON’S act was doubtless that of a fresh kid. He threw at Smith’s head because he lacked any better sense. But if Wilson had killed Smith— and the thing could easily have hap pened—it would have been cold blooded. brutal, willful murder. * * * '"P HE bean ball is no more a part of 4 legitimate baseball than would be the use of an axe on the head of a base runner or the knifing of a fielder. It would be difficult absolutely to stop it. However, in most cases a trained observer—such as an umpire is supposed to be and usually isn’t— $ ould tell a "bean ball" from a wild heave that went at the same mark. A pitcher who uses it ought to be fired out of baseball for one year and fined not less than a thousand dol lars. That might help to break up the practice. * * * \U EDXESDAVS ball game w as pie * * for the Crackers—4 to 1—with New Orleans the victim. Paul Mus- ser came around and pitched a really first-class game. The "fatal gift" was with him to the extent of six passes, but he was never in danger, chiefly because he allowed only five hits. He kept the hits pretty well separated from the passes and the only time it seemed possible that anything unfor tunate might happen Hendryx wal loped into a double play and relieved the pressure. * * * r' ATCHER CHAPMAN made his ^ Atlanta debut and pleased mightily. He is a husky brute, with lots of gab and considerable clever ness. The entire team showed a lot <»f addedf pep," but how much was due to Chapman’s example and how much to something Manager Smith might or might not have said in a club house talk nobody knows. if Chapman proves as good as he looks, the Crackers are a vastly dif ferent team. Graham has been an uncertainty all the season. And Dunn was signed only as a second catcher and could not be expected to carry the whole thing along by himself. With Chapman to do the heavy backstopping and to lead in the chat ter: with Dent promising to prove a winning pitcher; with Musser back in shape again, and with the rest of the club playing to form, the locals ought to begin forging toward the front again. * * * T 'i' is marvelous bow quickly a few * bad games will show in the at tendance. Wednesday’s crowd was decidedly small. The rest of the week, thanks to the big win Wednesday, the attendance should be good. Friday a double-header will be played because of the. fact that it is Federal Decoration Day. Normally ii would be ladies’ day. too. blit la dies’ tickets will not be honored that day because of the holiday. Through the rest of the season ladies’ tickets will be accepted every Tuesday and Friday. Wednesday’s Game. N. Orleans. ab. r. h. po. a. e.

Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian. LONDON, May 29.—American own ers. horses and jockeys seem likely to cub a pretty wide swath in the great English Derby this year. Harry Payne YYhifneys colt. Meeting House, which ran third in the Guineas, has a nice chance of winning. So has Herman B. Duryea’s Boyne, which won the Paris Biennial, at ten fur longs, quite comfortably from a smart field. Ahgust Belmont also has a colt in France which is going to take some stopping on Epsom Downs, barring accident. Whitney’s Meeting House is a fine big colt by Voter out of Noonday, and is one of the thirty yearlings he purchased from the late James Keene eighteen months ago. Meeting House began slowly in the mile race at Newmarket for the Guineas and for a few strides he was the last of a field of 15, but he moved up to ninth in the first quarter, was seventh after going five furlongs, and ran over four well fancied candi dates in the final quarter, being beat en only two lengths in the final quart er by Louvois and Uraganour. which was almost dead-heated. Meeting House ran practically unbacked, with 15 to 1 against him to show, and Frank O’Neill riding. Was Nipped at The Last. Craganour divided favoritism with Fairy King and they showed the way for six furlongs, when Craganour drew clear, with Johnny Reiff on the 20 to 1 shot. Louvois. in hot pursuit. Uraganour should have won, but his English jockey was overconfident and tossed it off and the American nipped him on the post with Louvois. O’Neill would have ridden the winner if Jack Joyner had kept Meet ing House in the barn. O’Neill was engaged last year to ride for Whit ney in this race if he was wanted. Subsequently Mr. Raphael, the owner of Louvois. as well as of last year’s Derby winner, engaged both O’Neill and Reiff to come over from Paris to ride Louvois in the Guineas, O’Neill’s engagament being conditional that Joyner would ioi want him for Whitney. When Joyner decided . to take a chance with Meeting House. Raphael had Johnny Reiff to fall back upon, and it was Johnny who won the Derby for him on Tagalie last year. But Mr. Raphael agrees with me that Frank O’Neill is the greatest jockey in Europe, and probably in the world just now', and he has con tracted wdth Frank to ride Louvois in the Derby and other important races. So if American owners and horses fail in the Derby an American rider is quite likely to win it. Louvois Shows. Louvois# is the colt of which I wrote last December: that if l had to make my selection for the Derby from last season’s two-year-olds be fore they ran this season as three- year-olds. he would be my choice. Louvois not only showed speed last year but he impressed me as the most likely to carry it over the Derby route this year. .Judging from the manner in which he came from behind and wore down Craganour at one mile 1 expect Louvois to beat Ismay’s colt easily at a mile and a half. To some ex tent this argument also applies to Whitney’s Meeting House being like ly to beat Craganour for the Derby. However, the talent makes Craganour favorite at present at 9 to 2. Shogun is going to become a hot tip for Der^py, but I can not staml lor a colt with two splints coming down the hill at Epsom unless the going should be very soft, which it seldom is there. Mr. Duryea’s Boyne is by Irish Lad out of Running Water by Sir Dixon. He is being pointed for the Derby, so I bear from France. Belmont’s good Derby colt in France is Vulcain, by Rock Sand out of Lady of the Y ale. M'COY AMD FERNS DRAW IN TWENTY FAST ROUNDS DAYTON. OHIO. May 29. -A! Mc- i oy. of New York, and Wildcat Ferns, of Kansas City, went twenty fas;, rounds to a draw here last night. Jack London’s new story, “The Scarlet Plague,” begins in the American Monthly Magazine given free with every copy of next Sunday's American. By W. .1. McBetli. N EW YORK, May 29.—A new power arises in organized base ball, clamoring for certain long neglected rights. This is the Baseball Players’ Fraternity, organiz ed less than a year ago under the wise direction of David Fultz, a prominent lawyer of New York and in his day one of the greatest out fielders in the big league. The Fra ternity already embraces three hun dred members: practically all of the players pf the two major leagues. It is but a matter of a very shor* time until the Baseball Players’ Fraternity branches out to include the minor leagues as well. And as pow’er lies in force of numbers it becomes evident that this Fraternity will very shortly be in a position to force the recognition it rightfully deserves. There is absolutely no idea of unionism in the fraternity. Rather the association stands for a strict interpretation of the laws governing organized baseball. But the organization proposes to see that laws and regulations shall be fair ly applied; that the magnates shall not be favored one whit over the rank and file of players who have built up and made the great game the popular sport which if* ts. * * * U LTIMATELY, no doubt, players will, have some sort of represen tation on the National Commission, the supreme court of the laws gov erning the game. This is no more than fair. At present the baseball commission is made up of a National League club owner and the two presi dents of the major leagues In their favor it must be said that on the whole the work of this National Com mission has been above reproach. There have been instances of dis crimination when discrimination was to the best interests of magnates in general. • * * Baseball is presumably the only hohest professional sport, if such a broad name may be applied to such a gigantic amusement enterprise, its honesty reflects the character of the professional player rather than of the professional promoter, it is a mat ter of record that In its thousands and thousands of cases involving thousands and thousands of dollars no player has ever lied who testified before the National Commission. Who can say as much for some of our highly respected club owners whose first creed seems to be subterfuge if not deceit? * * • AA7HILR titr National Commission * * prides itself upon an iron hand in administering justice to ball plac ers. high and low, it religiously evades shouldering equal responsibil ity in a case of the magnate. For the benefit of a trusting public it may bluster and bluff a whole lot; but that is as far as it goes. There are too many illustrious examples of the past 'few years to bear con tradiction. It is true that the Na tional League expelled from its ranks last winter Horace Fogei, president of the Philidelphia Nationals. be cause he had given utte.rances un complimentary to the honesty of the sport and its administration. But the National League fawned upon Charles W. Murphy, president of >he Chicago Cubs, who was directly re sponsible for Horace Fogel’s out burst. They had the "goods" on Murphy. Were they afraid of the backing of this little trouble-maker —the millions of Charles P. Taft'.’ » * m T F Ban Johnson’s w ord amounts to 4 anything it was not the first time that Murphy stood upon the brink, ready for the kindly shove that in the best interests of the game should have been applied. Johnson declares that Murphy should have been driven out of baseball for speculating n world's series tickets in 1908 when his Cubs drubbed the Tigers. Ban was also very vehement in his outcry against certain New York officials during the series between the Giants and Athletics in 1911. He was also determined, he said, to expose the shady manipulations of the celebrated attempt to bribe the umpires at the post-season play-off of the well known Cub-Giant pennant tie at the Polo Grounds* in 19»>8. * * * J OHNSON may have been sincere in both instances. If so then the power** of organized baseball a« em bodied in the magnates stayed hi> hand. The magnates were afraid f public exposure. We have had in the past too many examples of lop-sided justice. Where Inconsequential plavers have drawn maximum penalty for infrac tion of the laws stars have been exonerated. Hal Chase furnishes a very striking example. He quit New York and Griffith cold in 1908 wh m he was the only player left of the saddest tail end aggregation one could imagine. He committed the unpardonable sin of organized base ball. He not only "jumped” his con tract with organised baseball but went to an "outlaw” league. This penalty at the time should * have drawn a lifelong "black-list." But organized baseball could not afford to lose such a drawing card as Chase. The very next spring he was par doned after a "mock" trail. They sought Chase. If he had been an average player all the influence in the world could never have tempted the National Commission to let down the bars. • * • T Y UOBB is another blight example. His indefinite suspension by John son last year, because Ty assaulted a spectator at the Hilltop, was the direct cause of a strike by the De troit Tigers. This action was a very grave offense, but wholesale punish ment would have been equivalent to annulment of Detroit’s valuable chat tels in players. Because of the strength of numbers Ban Johns )n was compelled to leniency. After ward he singled out Delehanty. passing veteran, on whom to vent his disciplinary spleen. In compli ance with the Detroit ultimatum Cobb was immediately reinstated. This spring Ty Cobb hefd out for a reeb' d salary. Organized baseball was ob durate until the newspaper public ity threatened a Congressional probi into organized baseball to determine whether or not it was a trust. Th^n organized baseball fairly broke its neck welcoming the Tiger hold-out. Though Ty had violated baseball law by playing with a baseball team in the South when he should have been with Jenninge, he was reinstated by Ban Johnson before his application could be brought before the National Commission. Had it been some ob scure "busher" instead of Cobb, he would nbw undoubtedly be on the suspended list. The National Com mission might never discover his ap plication for reinstatement. V * * • T HE Baseball Players’ Fraternity is * a most admirable organization an 1 is very likely to result in great good to the game. Playing managers are excluded from membership. Its chief aim is mutual protection. It in tends to work along harmonious lines with organised baseball government. It held aloof from the controversy between Cobb and the Detroit club, maintaining that its thief purpose was the observation and not nego tiation of contracts. It has no ob jection to the .so-called "yoke” of the reserve clause but it hopes to es tablish soiru* sense of equitable jus tice in observation of contract and some limit at least to the reserve clause. Now the magnate has the power to hold a player for life - r to lelease him on ten days’ notice. The player has no redress and must accept the terms offered. The fra- ■ terplty hopes t<> in- able in timfc to adjust salaries on a far more sensi ble basis. Last year a player on the Pittsburg team was signed up for $8ftft. He had no say in the matter. Wagner in the same club was draw ing $10,000. 'Wagner may have been twelve times the more valuable as set. Yet a player who is worth to more than $800 should not be in the big league. He can get more in the "sticks” with a chance of develop ment at the same time. O RGANIZED baseball may need the kindly services of the fraternity be fore many months roll around. Per haps the magnates have been killing the goose of the golden eggs. Pub lic sympathy seems on the wane. Jack O’Connor in the civil courts :n St. Louis quite recently was- awarded a verdict for $5,000 agains; the St. Louis Americans. This was tile amount of a year’s salary as manager of the Browns on a contract that Ban Johnson canceled because he al leged that O’Connor had purposely countenanced a scheme to boost Na poleon Lajoie’s batting record above that of Ty < ’obb. Lajoie, it is eaid, was allowed to make a hit every time he came to bat in the final game of the season «o that he might earn an automobile which went for the batting championship. I * * * N T - GW. that little scandal was hush- * ed up at the time by the wily Johnson. He straightened out the matter by getting an extra benzine buggy for Larry and awarding Cojbb the honors. The skeleton In th* closet, however, was rattled again in the O’Connoi suit when Ban John son produced witnesses who testified that they had overheard O'Connor In structing his men to give Lajoie an unfavorable advantage over Cobb Such testimony was not • of a nature to reassure* public confidence in pro fessional baseball. And it did abso lutely no good, as the jury disre garded it anyhow. BASEBALL SUMMARY Result! of Every Game of Im portance Played Yesterday. SOUTHERN LEAGUE. Games Thursday. Montgomery at Atlanta.

Take the whole list of the boys that claim this division, as their ow n. each and ever> one of them have a chip on their shoulder and are aiming their 14-inch guns at Willie Ritchie, the titlehold- Their ammunition, however, is mostly "buncombe,” and the almighty dollar is receiving far more attention in these deliberations than is the glory of becoming champion. All of which forces us to lean back and sigh. "Oli, you fortunate chain- pione of to-day How lucky you are not to have been compelled to battle In the time when real fighters graced the roped inclosure.

Maybe they were, but they also represented the period when gladiators of real merit hell sway, days when it required a stoui heart, stamina, a knowledge of wrestling as well as fighting, and an adept so far as the science and punching ability of the game went. Seldom if ever did a champion re turn to the ring once the stigma of defeat was placed against his name. He retired in thoee days unless for some exceptional reason he was al lowed to come back.

He was a middleweight, w hile Langham was a heavy one when they fought. * * * TAKE the average run of the A Queensbtrry babies we have in our midst at the present time anti when they stagger up against defeat or adverse verdicts they hurry to the nearest typewriter and frame fifty- seven different varieties of alibis in a made endeavor to explain away their rout Mind, we don't wish you to mis understand us in that the Queens- berry code failed to produce great champions. On the contrary, it did. Jimmy Barry. Jack McAuliffe, Jack Dempsey. Jim Corbett, Fitzsimmons and others won titles under their clauses. Bui remember, too. that they all fought "TO A FINISH" in order to succeed to the emblem. The pres ent day limited affairs were foreign to them. * * • M ANY will wonder why John L. Sullivan's name is among those missing from tlie above list. Simple enough, and equally surprising to as many to learn that Sullivan won his title according to the L. P. R, rules. The only time he met defeat was by the Queensberry route. So that tech nically speaking Sullivan was never defeated for the title. He at any rate never lost it in the same man ner in w'hich he won it. The last London prize ring fight in this coun try was between Sullivan and Kil- raiti. al Richburg. Mfss. This will perhapp be news to many as well. With the abolition of the L. P. R. rules came a Mock of "box fighters,” to whom the limited round journey with eight-ounce gloves and Queeris- berry methods appealed as the short route to eavy money. Uvar 70 per cent of this same band would have found employment at some other way of making a living had the old-time fashion of battles on the turf "to a finish” still been in vogue. SMITH WINS BLUFFING MATCH WITH C. FRANK After a grand little bluffing bee. Charley Frank ha9 taken over the services of Pitcher Orlie Weaver for the season. Smith offered to lend Weaver to Frank. Frank wanted to get an outright ownership of Weaver's services. 3j he got Weaver to go to Smith anj say that he would not take Weaver on any other basis than outright ow n ership. Then Smith bluffed back. "All light." he said; "then I’ll send Weaver to Beatfmont." This last threat brought Weaver around on the run and he fixed up the deal at once with Frank. The Peli cans get Weaver for the season and he will then be turned back to the Crackers. Z B Y S Z K 0 COL LA PS ES IN # MAT BOUT; LURICH WINS NEW YORK.
