By Percy H. Whiting. 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.
