TTTE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWSu
in)^r
I N less than one week polo In At
lanta is to be an accomplished
fact. A match is aoheduled for
next Wednesday afternoon at the pa
rade around at Fort McPherson, when
a quartet representing the city will
meet a crack team of the Seventeenth
Regiment.
The meeting is important from the
fact that it will in all probability ne
the forerunner of a Southern polo cir
cuit, with at least one crack team
here to compete with quartets from
other cities and clubs.
Spectators at the first match may
be assured of seeing an excellent ex
hibition. The Atlanta team will he
captained by Captain J. O. Seamans,
of the Governor’s Horse Guard, who
played the game in the army. Al
bert S. J. Tucker, of Lexington, Va..
E. M. Landrum, of Pensacola. Fla .
and Milton Wise, ot New York, will
complete the four, with Lamar Hill
and Tom Weaver, of Atlanta, as sub
stitutes, who stand a good chance to
get in the game before its close in
case of an accident.
The list of officials includes ex-
Mayor R. F. Maddox, timer; Wilm^r
L. Sloore, scorer, and James R. Gray
and Clark Howell, goal Judges. The
always responsible position of referee
will be filled by Colonel M. E. Car-
thew-Yorstoun, retired British Army
officer, who played the game fo»*
twenty years while in the Indian
service.
Motion pictures of the game are to
be made, and there will he gymk
hana sports as features of the after
noon—a tug of war, wrestrling on
horseback, and so on. The regimental
band will furnish music, and the
Glee Club of Company M will be
heard.

^EW ORLEANS, July 31.—Announce
ment was made yesterday by Manager
Frank, of the local Southern League
club, that Catcher Leo Angemeler had
been given hie unconditional release
Angemeler has befn of little service to
the New Orleans club because of Illness
By O. B. Keeler.
I N the matter of a welcome for the
homtng Crackers, sentiment wa*
divided to-day between meeting
them with a posse or an ambulance.
Nobody mid 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 alx 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.

THERE doesn’t seem to be much
* satisfaction in a post-mortem,
and alibis are not In style any more.
But It w r aa plain, even from this
distance, that Smith’s men w-eren’t
getting the breaks. Maybe tHVy didn’t
deserve to. It has been our observa
tion that the edge In luck generally
Is with the club that Is on its toea,
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.

vy HITUY ALPERMAN-S illness
will be felt from now on, but
It came too late In the trip to be
charged with much of the damage
Bill 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 flve-
games-In-three-days series with the
Volunteers.
George Clarke and the giant Love,
southpaw slabmen. will make their
bow. Outfielder Holtz, too. la a new-
one
And that brings us to Harry Hol
land. Tech's great tnflelder
• • •
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 i? that
Tech’s greatest ball player will work
around second base in the present se
ries.
More power to him!
D 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 Angemeler, 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 work
seriously.
Also It may be noted that Ange
meler has Just been released by Frank,
who was forced to do something by
a situation which caused him to use
a pitcher In the field. w*htle having
eighteen players nominally on hand.
Yantz’s leg Is about well once more,
and he will soon be ready to relieve
Adams. w r ho 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-
Athletlcs 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 Fultz, 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 Players’ 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.
MILLEN, GA., 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 ten men and giving up
only five scattered hits. The feature of
the game was the fielding of Doc Ray
at short for MilJen.

THE CUBS.
Peace! Peace! Peace!
They smile and they say: “Ahem!”
And they would that their tongues
could utter
The thoughts that arise in them.
O, well for the John AfcOratas
As they hammer the horsehide pill!
0, well for the Connie Macks
With hats that never are still!
And 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!
ft’s a hcluva peaceful crowd.
And they think of the guy who oums
the club
But they never tDili 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 Ebbots
Is out on a scoutln* trip leads one to
suspect that C. Hercules Is looking for
another excuse to perpetrate a dedica
tion ceremony.
Oave Fulti arise* to remark that he
Is not afraid of losing hla 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 aver* 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 ball yard, he Is
traveling from the ball yard to the hos
pital. James would save money 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 answers: “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.
“I hold the. key.” respondeth he.
And roared a gladsome roar.
“1 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 spake: “The ship may
break,
But spare that case of beer!”
Dent Will Hurl Against Vols
4-*4- 4*4 4-*4* 4*4 4-e-;.
Harry Holland to Play Second
By Joe Agler.
Y X TELL, we’re home again, and
YY mighty glad to be here, if
only for a short visit full of
double-headers.
We are not 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 lost two mighty
valuable players by injury and 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 Btory—w r e
would make a run and the Gulls
would se it and raise us one. Clark
pitched good ball, but 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 score 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© all went over to Inquire about
Whitey Alperman before leaving Mo-
bU«- The doctors say he is quite out
of danger and improving rapidly,
which makes us all feel better.
I understand Harry Holland, the
Tech infielder, is a member of the
club now and that he may work to
day. The fellows who know all agree
he is a wonder, both in the field and
at the platter, and we 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 chanc© 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. t
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.
