ATT iA NT A GEORGIAN AND NEWS. Five Games in Three Days at Home, Then the Final Road Trip. By 0. B. Keeler. SO,‘THERE YOU ARE! Oh, something’s got into the eyes of the Crackers, A-smoking the lamps of our sterling pill- whackers; Jjong, agonized shrieks emanate from their hackers Far away in the distance a-view- ing it; ifVe can’t get a line on their recent futility; Te know they are swatters of ster ling ability, itCfco pepper the pill with excessive virility— Butthahelofltistheyain'tdoingit! D ESPITE the charitable Interfer ence of the weather man on a number of occasions, our brave lat-a-ad* (tremolo stop) continue to skid recklessly toward the second di vision. Only the Barons remain be twixt them and the lid, which position Is thinly occupied by the dejected Lookouts. It would be entirely possible, de pending on what happens to Birming ham and Chattanooga, for the Crack ers to detrain in this town Thursday, Installed as leaders of the basement quartet. Of course, the Gulls and their do ings cut the deepest into the calcu lations. They have been tough for the Crackers all season, and, with the race in Its present scrambled condi tion, there is no reason to suspect they will suddenly become docile. Passing over the Gulls with a re spectful nod, then. It may be Just as well to look over the remaining pros pects of the season. « • » * N O matter in what shape the Smith- men return Thursday, they will confront the proposition of taking on the Volunteers for five games in three cays, the same being Thursday, Fri day and Saturday. The situation of the Vols in the league standing is not dignified enough to inspire much reverence. But It must be recalled that Sehwar.x has some raw material on hand which he naturally will be eager to shoot. And some of It may be loaded. Then there is the question of two- ply entertainments. In the face of what happened re cently in Montgomery, we insist that ttje conventional method of prorating a double bill is for each side to take one. And that is precisely what the Crackers do not require just now— and won’t require the latter part of this week. Five or six games back of the lead. Bill Smith’s hands need two out of three from now on—and a shade more wouldh’t hurt. One double-header if regulany scheduled for Friday afternoon. The league program Is responsible for that. Then there Is a tie contest holding over from the last visit of the Vols. That probably will be shot off Thursday, by way of openers. Anyway, if the sky can he caulked, there’s a furious little series booked for the last three days in this week. • * * T HEN the Crackers hit the “Trail of the Lonesome Nine" once more. Chattanooga first, for three games, August 4. 5 and 6. Then the final vis it to Nashville, which may witness the playing oft of the well known dis puted contest earlier in the season. The closing road games of the season of 1913 will be played in Birmingham, August 11, 12 and 13. • • * H OME again, for a little hopse par ty at which every club In th; league will be on the guest list ex cept Nashville. There are 22 games scheduled for the grand finale, and four tied or postponed affairs. They will be played in this order: Chattanooga 4: Birmingham 3: New' Orleans 6; Mo bile 4: and Chattanooga again for one game, September fl. But In the meantime, there Is Mo bile. * * * AND it is possible that Billy Smith O was figuring on that long home wind-up, with the chance to land the flag in a grueling finish, when he signed the giant southpaw, Love, tending slabman of the Cotton States • League. Love will make the third fork- hander on the Cracker firing line. With an equal number of right-hand ers, Billy can settle down on the home lot and dare all of 'em to knock off the chip. It won't make much difference whether the opposition sports a majority of portslders c r not. Bill will be loaded for both finds of game. • • • T HE new cock-eye Is six and a half feet long and comes up with a Bavory reputation that includes 20 firsts out of 29 starts in the Cotton States. He has a no-hit, no-run game on his list, and four consecu tive shut-outs, In the directing of which he issued only three bases on balls. Control Is said to be his best bet. That sounds encouraging, anyway. POOR ABIE IS THROUGH; HAS LITTLE CLASS LEFT NEW YORK, July 28—Abie Attell bad better give up the Queensberry pas time. Abe has something left in the ducking and the nodding of the head in petting away from some wicked punches, but that is about all. His latest opponent was Willie Beech er, the well-known mitt man of the East Side, and the contest took place at the Atlantic Athletic Club of Roek- away. There was a rather good gather ing of the fight fans. r They were of the opinion that Abe would hand out some of that old championship atuff that made him famous In the day* of long ago The person who suffered the most at the bout was Referee Draycott. Abe's judgment of distance was bad in the fifth, sixth and eighth rounds, and he whanged the judge three times. The winner of the bout was Beecher. The latter, after finding out that At- tell was not there any more, chased Abe around the ring, and Beeoher had a gUficult time in catching his opponent, echer did his best work in the sixth id seventh rounds. From the fifth ,>und to the finish. Beecher was the usy man and he had enough lead In fcrte' first five to give him the fight. All that Abe had was a bad lip as he name out of the ring. covmro^mmT Polly and Her Pals Copyright, IMS, Tntenutioeal New* Service. And Pa Kept Right on Smoking KRAZY KAT • — e • • • • • • • • Isn’t Krazy Just the Kraziest Feline? HIT HELP TD JOT I0EHLING By Senator. W ASHINGTON, July 28.—Quiet, observing everything, but saying little, always ready with a cheering word for some young ster to turn a rebuke into a joke. Jack Ryan, the veteran backstop and scout, Is one of the uplifting influences among the Washington Senators. He i.«n’t going around with banners fly ing. proclaiming his deeds from every housetop, but he Is the man who ha* made tt possible for Joe Boehling to pitch winning baH. After much haggling to no end, the writer succeeded in getting Ryan to explain the system he has taught Boehling and is now teaching Joe Engel. He belittled even that sys tem. notwithstanding Boehling’s suc res* since he began following the veteran’s advice. "It’s a simple thing,” finally broke out Ryan. “I began teaching those two kids this spring at Charlottes ville. They were wild as hawks and careless of following directions. I noticed that all they ever did when thev went Into the box was to wind up and let her go. They didn’t take even enough time to see where the plate was. * * • “CO T said to Boehling one day: ^ ‘Take your time. Think about every ball voil pitch. Try to do some thing with it. Aim at something. Pa* the closest attention to your stride. Then you will get control, and that’s all you need to ge a good pitch er.’ “Well, at first Boehling couldn’t un derstand these directions. Tie would forget what he had to do. Griff kept me working with him constantly howev r. and finally I got Joe where, he could think of all these things at the same time. Immediately he be gan to pitch winning ball, and he will continue just so long as he fol lows those directions. “It was the same way with Engel. He Is fully equipped to be a win ning pitcher. I never saw a better looking youngster in baseball. But he didn’t know anything about his job. He never considered what he had to do. He pitched into the stride used by the other pitcher, even if it were two feet short of his own. It was impossible for him to win that way. He couldn’t get his T’tuff' on the ball. 1 kept insisting on his using proper stride and thinking about every ball that left his hand. That’s all pitching amounts to, granting that you have speed and a curve ball. But it was hard for those kids to under stand this, and it took a lot of time before they got it into their heads. * And this is all that Jack Ryan ha? to say about his making two good pitchers for the Climbers. * * * n, T IIEN you think it over, Ryan W ought to be a wise counselor far young fellow's. He has been in baseball 28 years, starting when a mere kid. In all that time he has never learned to drink or .«moke. His personal habits are irreproachable, his example for young players a thing for the gods. Manager Griffith could not have ogtained a better coach for his youngsters. Seldom does he use a harsh word, never a profane. Never does he criticise a player on any other team. Ryan’s last active service was as manager of the Jersey City club of the Eastern, now the International League. There he worked behind the hAt regularly, always maintain ing a high average. He broke in with the Baltimore team when it was com posed of thugs and knockout men. Al ways quiet, he had to fight to remain with the Orioles. And he fought and stayed. Eater he saw several years of service under Frank Selee on the Boston club. He was captain of the Detroit American League team in 1902. finally drifting to the minora, where he managed several teams, ending with Jersey Cilfc M obile, ala., July 28.—vvmtey Alperman, field captain and second baseman of the Crack ers. was operated on this noon in a local hospital for appendicitis. As a result of the operation, Alper man will not be able to play again this season. This Is a severe blow to Manager Billy Smith, as it practical ly kills whatever chance the Atlanta team has of winning the pennant. Alperman was out of the game yes terday. He complained of-severe pains In his right side. -Last night a local physician was called, "but was unable to diagnose the case until this morn ing. Manush will probably cover the keystone sack the remainder of the season. ! Sporting Food j l By OKOROB ■- BHAIR > YACHTING DE LUXE. Oh, would I were a sailor I’pon the rolling seas, And beat it hence from spot to spot Upon my large and gilded yacht, lior cared for any breeze. Oh, would I were a sailor I’pon the billows blest. And 1 could say: “Come hither, Steve! I have a thirst thou shouldst re trieve,” And he would do the rest. Oh. would l were a sailor And owned a yacht of steam. But one must be a pirate bold And trim the landsman of his goli To realize that dream. « Every time a fight manager offers to bet $10,000 one It led to wonder whether Confederate money atill is being used. A doctor having discovered that no bones are broken in Meinie Zim’s ankle, the inference is that his ankle bones are made of the same substance as his head. An X-Ray examination of the Great Zim reveals the fact that his tempera ment is suffering from a malignant at tack of gout. When one learns that Hal Chase has made five boots In one game, one will not be surprised to hear that Joe Dunn has swiped five bases In the earn# In terval. The latest scandal In the Sport of Kings in England merely reflects the spirit of the times. A king these days is looked upon generally as a nine-spot. It is claimed in England that the prev alence of foul riding there is due to the American style of wearing short stir rup®. Even our English brethren have learned to pass the buck. Bill Peet. a Washington scout, says he discovered Joe Boehling, and seven American League teams have discovered that BUI Peet Is some discoverer. Suggestion to Milwaukee sporting editors: Why not organize a few boxing clubs? It still is early to pass Judgment on Laverne Chappelle but up to date he has earned approximately $1.75 of his purchase prlc* Member* pf Frank Chance’s team wear black sweaters, but even that does not fill the bill.

H onorable Horace fogel is getting ready to absorb both big circuits and put the mag nates on the bum. He has said It, and w'hat Horace says goes. As the present major leagues are a Joke. Horace will start a lieutenant-colonel league for a change, grabbing off all the star talent now employed grinding out the national pastime. The new* organization should be ac complished without much trouble. Mr. Fogel talked himself out of the old league, and he is now engaged asking himself into the new one. or lieutenant-colonel league, to dis tinguish it from the old majors. Horace has his towns for the circuit booked out already yet once. They are New York. Philadelphia, Balti more, Pittsburg. Cleveland, Chicago and St. Lout*. That makes seven, and they need one more. The eighth city will be either Boston. Indianapolis or Kansas City. If Horace included both Boston and Kansas City, look what a fine jump the athletes would have from Boston to play a Sunday game at Kansas City. Backers of New League Named. The financial backers of the lieu tenant-colonel league ere said to be Otto Steifel, of St. Louis, and Jeff Livingston, the well-known pickle ex pert of Cincinnati. Mr. Steifel is be hind the Federal League at St. Louis, and Mr. Livingston is in the pickle and tomato ketchup line at Cincy. They are to furnish the money, and Horace will supply the words. It is clairhed that Horace has landed ail the stars w'orth having in the two major circuit?, but the statement is discredited, because Tom Needham has not been signed by the lieutenant- colonels. We are inclined to believe that if there w'ere anything In the new organization. Mr. Needham would not have been overlooked. If Tom is not a star, where could they find one ? Be that as it may. the lieutenant- colonel league will be in full opera tion next spring, and the magnates of the two sQ-oalled major leagues will be begging for peanut concessions and hot dog stands in the park? of the new* baseball body. They made a goat of Horace, and now he is get ting back at t^hern. His Investigation Sidetracked. His investigation of the trust was sidetracked, and just for that the Na tional and American must get out of business for all time. By next Fourth of July w e will hear of Pittsburg. New York and Cleveland selling their new steel stands for old iron. It Is an aw ful picture to cohtemplate, but the magnates showed Horace no mercy, and he is determined not to spare them in the hour of retribution Otherwise Horace is a mighty good fellow'. P. S.—Mr Fogel has prepared an advance statement of 8.000 words in reference to the new* league, which etatement was to have been released simultaneously with a lot of papers on July 7. Double P.

M OMILE, ALA., July 2*.—The Gulls, ably assisted by a per son named Monk, who wns not in uniform, managed to cop the Jump game of this series yesterday In spite of a grand exhibition of pitching by Dent and plucky defensive play by a badly crippled Cracker team. Thompson and Dunn will be the bat tery to-day, and we are going to try to get even. Dent pitched one of his best gam^s since Joining the Crackers, and de served to win. But the attack of nls mates was not sufficient to overcome a one-run lead, and Hogg, who also pitched excellent ball, finished id front, 2 to 1, the result setting the Crackers down another full game in the pennant chase, as Montgomery also won. BUI Bailey was examined by an X-ray specialist here and It was shown that he ts suffering from a fractured rib, which will keep him out of the Itne-up several days. Whltey Alperman was taken sudden ly 111 with what appeared to be a touch of appendicitis, and was unable to play yesterday, but probably will try to work in this afternoon's game. The worst feature of the contest yesterday was the arrest of Joe Dunn, at the instance of a person named Monk, who is interested In the Mobile club, the way I understand the mat ter Joe was charged with swearing while arguing with Umpire Wright about a hit Joe thought was foul. Wright says Joe didn’t swear, Catch er Schmidt says the same thing end so do all the players who were in hearing of the argument. But Joe was lugged off the field and Chapman had to come in from right to take his place, while Gilbert Price went to the outer works. Joe wasn’t locked up.

Joseph paid. The Recorder gave Dunn the pref erence of spending ten days in the workhouse or paying »5. "It is too hot these days to stay Indoors so long," said the catcher, as he passed the "five Iron men" over. “But I guess the Judge wanted me to coach the rock-pile team at that," added Joe.

BLOOMINGTON, ILL.. July 28.-The Bloomington management, in an effort to check the losing streak of its club, has signed two promising youngsters.

ILL., July 28.—The sale is announced of Dick Staley, first baseman of the Danvllke baseball club, to the Cleveland Americana for $2,500. T HE molt rabid pololst’e appetite will be satisfied at Fort McPher son on Wednesday afternoon, August 6 Here are some of the events carded by those Interested in the plan to form the Atlanta Polo Club: Polo match between the Fort McPherson quartet and an All- Southern team, which will consist of Tom Weaver, Lamar Hill, Dr. J. O. Seamans, local players, and expert** from surrounding South ern clubs. A tug-of-war on polo ponies. A polo pony race. A “polo pony" musical pro gram furnished by the Fort Mc Pherson military band. A “polo pony” concert by Com pany M Glee Club. And in hope of encouraging those who will be unable to attend to be come interested in the game, mov ing pictures will be taken of the struggle and thrown on local screens a day or two after the match. It will be the biggest society event ever held In Atlanta, It Is to be hoped that the game will "take strong," for If it does, the Atlanta Polo Club will surely be formed, A big tract of land will be pur chased and a clubhouse erected. There are enough Atlantans who play the game to form an excellent team with very little coaching. With in a very few months the local club could arrange games with teams from all parts of the country, and not be afraid of defeat. A worthy aim would be to develop players for the International Cup team. New Yorkers have had this all to themselves for some time, but At lanta, like Camden, Augusta and Jacksonville, could in time probably develop some “big leaguers."
