B. Keeler. I N the matter of a welcome for the homing Crackers, sentiment was divided to-day between meeting them with a posse or an ambulance.* Nobody said anything about a band. Thirteen contests were played on the disastrous road trip, the Crack ers losing nine games, two ball play ers, third place and substantially all hope of a pennant for 1913. The long run totted up six defeats in a row. most of them by one run. An even break with the pop-eyed Pelicans was the best thing the Cracker?* did on the Jaunt. Memphis took two out of three, Montgomery captured the only two games played there, and the Gulls rounded off the diabolical business yesterday, making it nearly unani mous. • • • THERE doesn’t seem to be much * satisfaction in a post-mortem, and alibis are not in style any more. Rut it was plain, even from this distance, that Smith’s men weren't getting the breaks. Maybe they didn’t deserve to. It has been our observa tion that the edge in luck generally Is with the club that is on its toes, fighting all the way. Certainly the hitting slumped. And on the few occasions when the hit ters revived, the pitching collapsed. Which is a fine little combination for losing ball games. * * M YK7 HITEY ALPF.RMAN’S illnese will be felt from now on, but it came too late in the trip to be charged with much of the damage. Rill Bailey’s busted rib may carry a share of the blame, but not much. Anyway, the fans here will have a chance to look over some new ma terial, in the highly condensed five- tram es-In-three-days series with the Volunteers. George Clarke and the giant Love, southpaw slab men. will make their bow. Outfielder Holtz, too, is a new one. And that brings us to Harry Hol land. Tech’s great inflelder. • • • THE Idea is that the star college 1 player signed with the Crackers largely out of loyalty to the town. It is certain that In the last two years Holland has had many a chance to try his luck in the big show. Connie Mack. Clark Griffith and others have angled vainly for him. His folks didn’t want him to play professional ball. So Harry stayed off—until patriot ism collaborated with the call of the game And now the announcement is* that Tech's greatest hall player will work around second base in the present se ries More power to him! 13 EVERTING oi»ce more to the trou- bles of C. Frank, some sorrow ful Dutchman, it may be taken as faintly significant that the roll of severe injuries to the Pelicans in the season of 1913 now shows a total of thirteen. Here is the list: Pitcher Williams, wrenched knee. Shortstop Knaupp, spiked hand. Catcher Yantz. fractured leg. Inflelder Manush, wrenched knee. Infielder Williams, sprained ankle. Second Baseman McDowell, twisted knee. Pitcher Weaver, lame arm. Inflelder Atz, thumb dislocated. Pitcher Walker, bruised hand. Outfielder James, broken shoulder. Catcher Angemeier. spiked hand. Inflelder Atz, sprained ankle. Catcher Adams, broken finger. These casualties include only such as have put players out of the game for periods affecting the team’s w'ork seriously. Also it may he noted that Ange meier has Just been relea$*ed by Frank, w’ho was forced to do something by a situation which caused him to use a pitcher in the field, while having eighteen players nominally on hand. Yantz’s leg Is about well once more, and he will soon be ready to relieve Adams, who is catching with a wrap ped digit. It seems other people have some troubles, too. UMPIRE REFUSES TO EJECT FAN WHO INSULTED COBB NEW YORK, July 31.—The unsuccess ful attempt of Ty Cobb to have a spec tator removed from the stands at Phil adelphia on Tuesday during the Detrolt- Athlettcs game Is to be made the sub ject of an investigation by the Baseball Players’ Fraternity. According to Cobb, the spectator ad dressed objectionable language to him. Cobb called upon the umpire to eject the objectionable person. This method was suggested by the National Commis sion, according to Fultx, of the Frater nity. Evidently it did not work satisfac torily In Philadelphia for Fultz, In dis cussing the affair, said: "The fact that the scpectator was al lowed to remain in the stand proves that the method adopted by organized baseball for handling this evil Is gross ly Inadequate. "The Plavers’ Fraternity has repeat edly made suggestions, which. If adopt ed. would prove of much benefit, but the National Commission has so far disre garded them." MILLEN BEATS EAST POINT. MIL.LEN, QA., July 31.—In the second game of the series, Millen defeated East Point here to-day by a score of 4 to 0 Daniel, for the locals, twirled splendid ball, fanning *en men and giving up only five scattered hits. The feature of the game was the fielding of Doc Ray at short for Alllleu. -By QIORM 8. PH AIK— THE CUBS. Pence! Peace! Peace! Then smile and they, any: "Ahem!" And they would that their tongues could utter The thoughts that arise in them. O, well for the John MeOraws As they hammer the horsehide pill! O, well for the Connie Mucks With hats that never arc still. Anjf the schedule ambles on And they feel like a bunch of bums, And yearn for a hand in the gate re ceipts When the big world series comes. Peace! Peace! Peace! It’s a heluva peaceful crowd, And they think of the guy who owns the dub But they never will think aloud. The report from Los Angeles that Messrs. Ritchie and Wolgast are betting at the rate of $25,000 per throw leads one to suspect that the silly season has struck Los Angeles in a virulent form. Still, one must admit that Messrs. Ritchie and Wolgast are hitting at least .360 In the Press Agent League. The report that C. Hercules Ebbets is out on a scouting trip leads one to suspect that C. Hercules Is looking for another excuse to perpetrate a dedica tion ceremony. Dave Fultz arises to remark that he Is not afraid of losing his job as head of the Baseball Fraternity. But why should any man be afraid of losing his job as head of the Baseball Fraternity? Horace Fogel avers that he will bust up organized baseball, but he is not do ing as much work in that direction as some of the magnates who live by the said organized baseball. When Jimmy Archer is not traveling from the hospital to the hall yard, he is traveling from the ball >wr«l to the hos pital. James would savewnoney by char tering an ambulance by the year. ADMIRAL OF THE ICE BOX. It is a youthful admiral mariner. He saileth on a yacht. A guy doth swear: "Oet busy there!” He ansiccrs: "I will not!” Though he is not a commodore, A captain or a mate. He laughs, Ho! Ho! while breezes blow And sits in royal state. ‘7 hold the key," respondeth he. And roared a gladsome roar. “I hold the key and .none save me Can swing the ice box door!” The sailors then were silent men And all wore looks of fear, And one man spate: “The ship may break, But spare that case of beer!” Harry Holland to Play Second By Joe Agler. W 5LL, we’re home again, and mighty glad to be here, if only tor a short visit full of double-headers. We are hot proud of the last trip, but we are not going to cry about it, either. We had tough luck, and lost a bigger percentage of games by a single run than I remember ever see ing before. Also, we losl two mighty valuable players by injury arid ap pendicitis. That isn’t all. Several others on this club are working main ly on their nerve, suffering from all kinds of minor injuries. But we are going to keep at it, and you may be prepared to watch us go some when we finally come home to roost at Ponce DeLeon for the last long series. The first game with the Gulls yes terday was the same old story—we would make a run and the Gulls would se it and raise us one. Clark pitched good ball, hut we couldn’t get him enough runs to win. In the second game, Joe Conzelman and Bradley Hogg had a fine pitching duel up to the last inning. Then Harry Welchonce stepped up and leaned against one of Bradley’s fast ones, kicking it clean out of the lot, scoring Tommy Long ahead of him. and the seore ended 4 to 2 in our favor. Harry had a regular field day, getting two singles and a double in addition to his four-ply mash in the ninth. W e all went over to inquire about Whitey Alperman before leaving Mo bile. The doctors say he is quite out of danger and improving rapidly, which makes us all feel better. I understand Harry Holland, the Tech inflelder, is a member of the club now and that he may work to day. The fellow's who know' all agree he is a wonder, both in the field and at the platter, and w r e will welcome him as a member of the wrecking crew. If he plays second base, that will enable Smith to return to his regular job at third and leave Ma nush available in the event of more damage to our long-suffering aggre gation. Besides Holland, we have Clark and Love, new left-hand pitchers, and Outfielder Holtz to show the fans. Clark is a pitcher of undoubted class and Love shows a barrel of stuff in practice. He may get a chance in one of the games here against the Volun teers. Holtz played yesterday. He did not bat very heavily, but showed accuracy and class in the field and in the second game did some flashy work on the towpath, stealing two bases. Manager Smith said this morning he expected to use Dent in the open ing game this afternoon, with Chap man catching. Elliott is in fine shape and should give the Vols a bad time. That club, however, has been hard for the Crackers all season, and we don’t look for any walk-over, even when it is in the role of chopping block for the rest of the clubs. We will catch the double-headers to-morrow and Saturday, unless it rains, as I understand it has been doing pretty regularly around here. JEFF PFEFFEF HAS GREAT RECORD;TO JOIN DODGERS TERRE HAUTE, IND., July 31.—Jeff Pfeffer, the Grand Rapids pitcher, who goes to the Brooklyn club for $3,500, is leading the Central League pitchers with 20 games won and 6 lost. He had struck out 173 batters and had worked in fen more games than any other pitcher of the team. He is a younger brother of Fred Pfeffer, of the Chicago Cubs. DILLON VS. KLAUS. INDIANAPOLIS.

Not only will he likely be out of the game for the rest of the season, but he will not draw his salary while away from the team. President Herrman, of the Reds, said he had warned Benton to quit cycling during the ball season and says Benton must suffer for his injustice to the club. • * • The Yankees showed a surprising re versal of form yesterday when they togk into camp the White Sox, giving them a fine string of ciphers. * * * Rain stopped proceedings between the Naps and Red Sox and the Tigers and Senators. • • • Two doubles, aided by sacrifice hits, enabled the Athletics to win a hard- fought game from the Browns. • • • The Pirates bunched their hits off Ra- gon and easily beat the Dodgers.
