B ILL SMITH has gone out after
the pennant. He never had
r less intention in nis life of trail
ing along in' second or third place
than he has right now. “The rag or
nothing” is his motto.
His scheme Is to get pitchers. With
the hurling staff built up the thing
will be a picnic.
The idea is that never before in the
league’s history has the Cracker team
been as strong as now, barring the
batteries. Chapman seems to have
strengthened {he catching depart
ment. The one weak spot is the slab.
Smith realizes that this is the
chance of his career for grabbing his
third pennant lor Atlanta. His team
is a rip-snorter. With efficient pitch
ing it will win “away off.”
As a financial venture the buying
of some good pitchers will be big
business. The team as it stands is
only a moderately expensive one. Five
thousand spent for pitchers to-day
would be back through the box office
windows in a few weeks. And you
don’t have to tell Bill that.
Just, at present Bill has no pitchers
in sight. But he is spending about
seventeen bucks a day for telegrams,
and if any club has any real pitchers
they want to sell for real money they
can find a buyer—and find him mighty
quick.

THURSDAY'S game, won by Mont-
1 gomery, 7 to 4, wasn’t lost by bad
pitching. Of course Brady was reach
ed for 13 hits, but half of them were
rank scratches. It was an unlucky,
poorly played sort of a game. But
the Crackers were everlastingly in
earnest. They meant to win it and
never stopped trying.
* The thing that hurt about the de
feat was to lose to Case. The old lad
gave up 12 hits, but he kept them
about as well scattered as 12 hits
could be scattered, and by dint of al
lowing no bases on balls and not get
ting tangled up with any of the Bili-
kens’ three errors he scored a win.
But any time Charley Case gives
the Crackers 12 hits and escapes alive
it’s time to call the police.
* • *
T31LLY SMITH is about due to give
the Crackers a shakeup on some
of the rudimentary points of team
play. They have gotten in the way
of leaving bases uncovered and of
bumping on fly balls that is abso
lutely distressing. Smith’s teams do
rot usually pull that variety of base
ball
* * •
T F Johnny Dobbs’ Montgomery
A team regularly plays the sort of
baseball it showed yesterday it isn’t
a bad ball club at all. It hit won-
* derfully well off Old Reliable Brady,
fielded pretty handily and played
with a peck of pep. Old J. Dobbs is
still a rattling good coacher and he
has his men working at high speed
—when they are winning. We hope
to see how they lose soon, which is
another thing entirely.
* * *
v COME hitting phenomena were ob-
servable Thursday*
Chief among them was the fact
that King Brady made four hits out
of four times up. The King hasn’t
ordinarily been known as a healthy
slugger, but he was going like Ty
Cobb Thursday and seemed to be
dead in earnest. Maybe the old boy
is salting away a place as an out
fielder after his pitching days are
done.
Walker and Bailey made a couple
of hits each, which helped out their
averages, but the b-^st hitting of the
day. outside of that done by Brady,
was Jansen’s four safeties out of
five up.
r) ECAUSE Federal Decoration Day
u isn’t such a howling holiday here
and because a Saturday double head
er looks like the works the Atlanta
club has had its extra game trans
ferred from Friday to Saturday. This
afternoon’s game will start at the
usual time, 3:45. To-m6rrow T after
noon there will be a double header.
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday
of next week the Crackers hit the
road, but they will be back again
Thursday.
Mrs, McCarty Tells of
Life With Champion
GLENNWOOD. MINN.. May 30.—
Mrs. Luther McCarty, wife of the
man killed in the ring in Calgary, to
day told of her life with him.
“Luther was only 16 years old when
we married and I was 19,” she said.
Y “You see. it was a rather childish
match. We never got along well, and
he quickly developed a roving dis
position. We drifted along, though
he left me in Minnesota and did not
return. He sent me money from time
to time, and lately, as he seemed to
be getting along so well, he was will
ing to do better.
“It is true that for a time I had to
work, but about eight months ago he
did so well by me that I quit. Later
I went back to work, because in the
small town where 1 was I just had to
have an occupation.
‘‘Naturally, I am going to claim
everything Luther left. 1 haven’t the
slightest idea how much or what there
is. He was such a boy that I doubt if
he really knew himself."
Mrs. McCarty Is a bright-looking
young woman, who would be regarded
as pretty by many. Even Billy Mc-
Carney, who was manager for Mc
Carty. does not know how much
money McCarty had when he died.
The McCarty end of the gate Satur
day was $4,200, and there -is a bank
account in California. In addition,
Luther had a seven-room apartment
at Venice, Cal.

Gibbons Stops Perry
In Second Round
PITTSBURG, PA., May 80—Mike
Gibbons, the St. Paul sensation,
stopped Jimmy Perry, of this city. In
the second round of their scheduled
six-round bout here last night.
The outcome of the bout was a
complete surprise to the fans here, as
they had looked for Jimmy to give the
St. Paul boy a tough argument. Sev
eral rights and lefts to the body, fol
lowed by some stiff punches to the
Jaw, finished the Pittsburg boy.
Gibbons put up one of the greatest
scraps seen here In some time HIb
flashy footwork and his rapid blows
drew rounds of applause from the
spectators. Perry seemed unable to
get started, and did not land three
blows in the two rounds.

sively in their ten-round mill.
The Plttaburger was outclassed all
the way and was hanging on at the
close in dread of the knockout. The
victory was so complete that there
was no difference of opinion, though
it was a “no decision” affair.
The bout was staged in Washing
ton Park, the playing grounds of the
American Association baseball club,
and coming on the eve of the big 500-
mile auto race, drew hundreds of
stranger*, among them many women
for whom the boxes were reserved.
