B. Keeler. A LL the tallies that, had backed up in the Crackers’ systems while they were losing one-run margins on the late excur sion burst forth in wild and ex&tic profusion in the first home engagement, the Volunteers the sufferers, 10 1o 2. Specifically, the explosion took place in a single inning. Rooks cov’d be written about that inning. Poets might make odes and epics on it. Oscar Strauss might set it to music. Sousa's band might, play it—but it is doubtful if even the “March King's” in terpretation would equal that of the Crackers. Returning to the date of the outburst, we find it to be located in the eighth round, domestic, portion. Also, it was shortly before six bells, while the shades of night were falling at about, the same rate of speed set forth in the well-known biographical sketch en titled, “Excelsior,” or “A New Breakfast Food.” The contest had worked itself around to a 2-to-2 tie, which sounds like the midnight ehoo-ehoo if you say it fast. Dent and Beck, long pitchers with short monickers, were having what is commonly known as a slab duel, with both sides wasting a good many hits on comparatively few runs. A detailed recital of the eighth inning would be piling it on. Gently summarizing results, the following appears: Every Cracker in the game scored a run except Harry Hol land, who was sent up to sacrifice before Bill Smith had any idea to what extremity Beck and the Vols were planning to blow. Six hits were compiled by the Crackers, Welchonce opening the trouble with a Texas League single and closing the scoring with a ringing double down the right field foul line, unloading the towpath of three mates. Beck contributed two bases on halls, a hit batsman and a two- base throw to the general merriment in the first one-third of the inning. After Welchonce got his second hit, Manager Schwartz got the derrick in working order and removed Mr. Beck from the field of battle. But Mr. Schwartz did not calculate spoiling another regular pifeher, or even Fleharty, who had been in the bullpen most of the afternoon. He sent in a Mr. Young, who habitually plays right field. And Mr. Young smiled at the wild applause-—and retired the side. Smith fouling to Gibson and Bisland flying to Daley. • • • D ARR1NG a desperate attempt on the part of J. Pluvius to smear u the doings, the other part of the game was reasonably con ventional, interest centering in the performance of Harry Holland, the former Tech star, who played third base, and Holtz, the new outfielder. The Volunteers had had their first turn at bat, and one Cracker was salted in the same round, when the bottom fell out of a black cloud, which had been sneaking up behind the stands. For five minutes it rained in the proverbial sheets. Then the downpouV slackened, the sun came out, and after twenty minutes’ delay, limps Stockdale eatne out, walking on his heels, and the combat was renewed. H ARRY HOLLAND looked like a regular hall player, ne stood well at the plate, crowding it close, and while he did not get a hit, he looked over the pitching coolly and did not hit at any bad ones. He did not miss a single swing, either, and he laid his sacri fice down in classy style. In the field, he handled his single chance accurately and with speed, making a perfect throw to first from a rather difficult.position. One bit of fielding won’t go to Holland’s credit in the rec ords, but he showed well in it, just the same. In the first inning, with two gone, Hofman got on by Bisland’s wild peg. “Circus Solly" kept right on legging it, and Agler whipped the ball to third, Holland putting it on the sliding big leaguer in elever style. But Kerin ruled that Artie should have stopped at second under ground rules, the hall having got mixed up with the boxes. So the T-IOLTZ made a becoming bow to the noble twelve hundred at the A 1 game. He got two hits and a base on balls out of four ap pearances. One of the wallops scored a run, and both were made with somebody on. In the field, the big fellow made a couple of nice running catches, the last one, a Texas Leaguer from Gibson's bat, that looked good for a hit. He did not show any amazing | speed on the towpath. but used judgment in one particular in stance, when he took advantage of a wild pitch that Gibson stopped j!o sneak down to second, lie did not look at all like the typical bush leaguer. • • * CANF. of the most complicated double plays ever presented on any !stage came off in the sixth inning, and it deserves a chapter | all to itself. A base on halls and a two-base throw by Beck had put Bis land on third, with one down. Holland hit sharply to Jack Spratt at third, and Bisland was trapped. While he was being chased to death, Holland worked around past second, and after Spratt had put the hall on the dodging Bisland, a snap throw nipped Harry. The two-ply killing read this way: Spratt to Gibson to Spratt to Beck to Spratt to Perry. .

Vedder Sitton Hurls No-Hit, No-Run Game TROY, N. Y., Aug. 1.—P. Vedder Sitton, former Atlanta pitcher, now with the Troy club, of the New York State League, shut Wilkesbarre out without a run or hit yesterday after noon. Not one of the visiting play ers reached second base, and only three reached first, each on a base on balls. Sitton received brilliant support. Sitton is one of those ball players whom the finger of fate seems to touch at widely separated intervals, and with something like a caress. He is remembered around the Southern League as the chap who helped to win two pennants in a sin gle year, and came within a game of making it three. In 1908, Sitton’s work on the slab was responsible for the pennant in the Sally League. Then he went to Nashville, and pitched the final game of the season, on which the pennant depended, beating Breitenstein of New Orleans, 1 to 0. Then the youngster went to Cleveland, making its best attempt to win an American League pennant. But Cleveland lost out in the last pair of games. Since then Sitton has been drifting about the country, pitching grand ball in flashes and streaks. Sporting Food -By 0*0*0* ».

White and Whitney to Mix Here 1 •!•••{• 4**^ 4 , 4*1' +•+ Castro Starts “Regular” Club By Left Hook. C IPRIANO CASTRO, an exiled personage, was a rank busk leaguer compared to his nephew, Count Lou Castro, when it came to promoting. Cipriano tried to promote matters down in Venezuela, but he couldn’t get away with it. Not so with Count Lou. Count Lou got it into his bonnet that boxing could he made to pay in this hustling burg. The Count believes in high-class af fairs, high-class clubhouse, high-class mixers and a high-class lo cation. Result: 0 Charley White will meet Frank Whitney in a ten-round bout here on the evening of August 13. On the same program will be two other high-class battles. In one, Mike Saul will endeavor to show Eddie Hanlon where he gets off. In the other, Kid Young will try to avenge, a recent beating by turning the tables on Charley Lee. The bouts will be staged at the Ponce DeLeon'skating rink. The ring will be adorned with plush ropes and highly-polished brass posts. The Count will referee himself, and will be decorated in a Tuxedo. * f # * • * A LL of which proves our assertion that the Count is going to show his uncle up. Cipriano never got away with anything as big as this. And on Labor Day the Count plans to send the winner of the White-Whitney scrap right back at Jack Britton. Within two or * 1 three months he believes he will have a championship battle h^re. * * * A S for the main bout, let us whisper that it is by far the classiest ever offered Atlanta fans. White is a near champion. He made a tremendous hit here when he stopped Jake Abel in less than two rounds. Whitney is the most popular boxer who ever displayed wares here. He is tough and rugged, and will give the Chicagoan a merry time of it for ten rounds. Both boys will be iiere within a few days. They want to be come acclimated, and realize that they must have at least ten days within the portals of the city to get right. ’’* * * 'TffIK skating rink is a mammoth place. Castro, therefore, will put on all of his shows at popular prices. And it is an ideal spot for bouts, especially during the hot months. The building is situated on a knoll, and a breeze always blows through it. It is a semi-open affair of a place. In the win ter the Count will board up the sides and put in a steam-heating outfit. Milt Saul, of the street railway company, has promised the Count perfect car service to and from the club. As soon as the last bout is over, a string of ears will be lined up in front of the club ready to take the fans home. * * * 'T'HREE cheers for Count Castro.
