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 exatic profusion in the first home engagement, the Volunteers the sufferers, 10 to 2. •Specifically, the explosion took place in a single inning. Books could be written about that inning. Poets might make odes and epics on it. Oscar Strauss might set it to music. Sousa’s hand might play it —hut it is doubtful if even the “March King’s’’ in terpretation would equal that of the Crackers. Returning to (lie date of the outburst, we find it to he 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 choo-choo 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 rmis. 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 balls, 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 pitcher, 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. « • • II) ARRING a desperate attempt on the part of J. Pluvius to smear tile 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 hat, 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 pro.erbial sheets. Then the downponV slackened, the sun came out, and after twenty minutes’ delay, Umps Stoekdale came out, walking on his heels, and the combat was renewed. • • • H ARRY HOLLAND looked like a regular hall player. He 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 clever style. But Kerin ruled that Artie should have stopped at second under ground rules, the ball having got mixed up with the boxes. So the effort went for nothing. IJ OLTZ made a becoming how to the noble twelve hundred at the L 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, Imt used judgment in one particular in stance. when he took advantage of a wild pitch that Gibson stopped to sneak down to second. He did not look at ail like the typical bush leaguer. • • • CANE 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 balls and a two-base throw by Beck had put Bis land on third, with one down. Holland hit sharply to .lack 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 ball 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. Figure it out for yourself.

Vedder Sitton Hurls No-Hit, No-Run Game TROT, N. Y„ Aug. 1.—P. Vedder Sitton, former Atlanta pitcher, now with the Troy cl^b, 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. MEETING T0-NIgT|TT6 FORM ANGLERS’ CLUB ^Sporting Food QIOROt ft.

A bandit placed a gatling gun against i a stranger's brow. • The stranger mey'cly smiled at him and said: “Pooh, Pooh, for thou! | Pooh, Pooh for thou, and likewise | Fudge and also Pish and Tush! f do not fear the gatling gun that stares me in the mush, For J have been in baseball parks where peanut merchants ply. And I have sat there unafraid and looked them in the eye, And though they poked me in the slats and gave me bitter pain, And though they walked upon mi corns, they tortured me in vain. What chance have you, an amateur to make me tremble now? Again I say Pooh, Pooh, and Tush and likewise Fudge for thou!” The bandit slowly went his way, atid sore at heart teas hr. “What chance is there,” he sadly said "for bush league guys like met” Quoth the London Daily Express: “The monotony of defeat becomes de pressing." This sounds as if it were written by a baseball scribe In St. Louis. Frank Navin is one of the few mag nates w’ho have the interests of the pub lic at heart. Realizing that the good citizens of Detroit wanted some regu lar baseball, he staged a game between Buffalo and Providence. It is said that Bill Carrigan will be given a free hand In Boston. In other words, he may do as he pleases, as long as he pleases J. McAleer. A baseball manager these days Is al most as sure of his job as a President of Mexico. Ever and anon a scout unearths what he calls a slugging outfielder, but he fails to Inform us whether said out fielder slugs the ball, the umpire or his fellow athletes. OUR BLUE LAWS.

As a wise old gent once remarked, a man is known by the guys he hangs out with. After consorting with Tom Jones for a few years, Ad Wolgast bets $25,000 a thro*’ as if he really meant it. Just to show that he is a versatile manager, Joe Tinker occasionally loses two games a aay instead of one. Even if Horace Fogel’s new league does not pan out, he can make a good living by hiring out as a model in a phonograph factory. Sittling in his Morris chair In New York, Jim Corbett hands us a vivid de scription of the Williams-Ledoux con flict in Los Angeles, thereby aemon- strating that he is the greatest long dis tance eyewitness In captivity. HUMAN NATURE. Were / a baseball magnate And owned a team or two, I'd hunt the golden kale. I fear. And walk upon the public's car The same as magnates do. No, Rudolph: there is no truth in the report that Roger Bresnshan and John Evers will double up in a vaudeville stunt next winter. White and Whitney to Mix Here 4**4* Castro Starts “Regular” Club By Loft Hook. C IPRIANO ’CASTRO, an exiled personage, was a rank bush 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: Charley White wall 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. # • * 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 three months he believes he will have a championship battle here. * * # 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 he here 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. * * * T HE 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-opeu affair of a ^lace. 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 tho Count perfect car service to and from the club. As soon as the last bout is over, a string of cars will be lined up in front of the club ready to take the fans home. BigG Car*i in 1 to 5 day* unnatural discharges.
