\ 1 V t 1 l THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. ITHLETICS TOO STOUT-HEARTED FOR CLEVELAND 5 AYS Connie Mack to Birmingham, “/*tn going to cop the rag, I am” Say* Birmingham to Connie Mack, “You Jiarc the good*, 1 won't talk hack— But tee will wait and see.” I T seems to be all over but the 1 shoutin.gr, and that will bf done at the Polo Grounds and Shibe Park, as usual. Time was, and that not so long; agro, when It looked as though Oonnie Mack might lose hold of first place. Joe Birmingham and his Naplets made great strides for a time and threatened to *»plll the beans, but in the recent series between the Naps and Athletics the Naps ap peared to be a little slow, although they did make a strong finish. While seven games only separates the two teams the Mackmen seem to have the class. They appear to have more heart than Birmingham’s men and more likely to come strong in the stretch when pushed. It is the work of the silent man on the bench that is pulling the Mack- ites to a successful finish. * • • CILENT, but ever alert, that great ^ master of the national game sits among his players and plans each play. What though the Athletic pitoher may be wild, he advises his men to take advantage of every open, ing offered by the opposing twirler. and^so the Athletics wage battle tfl a successful issue. It will be the old-time struggle between McGraw and Mack for supremacy when the cheering world’s series crowd gathers in October to witness the contests between the champions of the two major leagues. McGraw has two defeats that are still rankling in his bosom, and he will be out for b-l-u-d this time, but he will be called upon to depend upon the same pitchers who -lost In the other contests—Marquard. Mathew- son and Tesireau. Will it be a repe tition of Jhe former world’s series games between the Giants nnd Ath letics? Echo answers, “Will it?” * * * YVT HI^E the eyes of the fans have been riveted upon the pennant contests in the two major leagues, the clubs in the American Associa tion have been titaging a joy flag con test well worth the price of admis sion. Milwaukee took an early lead and has held it up to the present, but just now is being hard pressed by Louisville and Minneapolis. Joe Oantillon and his two-time pennant winners came up recently from a low ly position in the second division. They have been winning cosistently and right now are knocking at the door. Milwaukee and Louisville have fin ished a desperate series of contests for first honors that resulted disas trously for Louisville, but the Colonels are still holding firmly to second place. There are five, clubs within shout ing distance of the pennant right now and the fight promises to be hot right up to the last day.

CHICAGO PUTS VETO ON SLANG STORIES CHICAGO, Aug. 21.— Slang as a means of the proper description of baseball games in the newspapers came out a little behind straight-for ward English, according to the ver dict of several thousand readers in a test vote taken by a Chicago news paper, which was announced to-day. Of a total of 3.930 ballots recorded to-day. 2.004 declared for the English prescribed by the dictionaries, and 1.926 were in favor of the use of slang. The figures in favor of the pure English were qualified by several thousand voters who expressed them selves in favor of the use of a mod erate amount of snappy, descriptive phrases, not limited necessarily to dictionary words, however. Many voted in f«.vor of slang, but advocated the elimination of nicknames. Wednesday’s Game Birmingham, ab. r. h. po. a. e.

A FTER lamping at considerable length the series jus* finished, the impression persists that if only the Crackers had arranged to play Birmingham all season, they would have climbed .clear up out of the Southern League standing, and probably would be in the first division of one of the big leagues. « * « DE that as It may, the Moles were- pretty soft. The toughent en gagement of the final series was with a rookie named Ery, too—Big Bill Prough not being able to be present at the last sad rites of the Crackers- Moles season. Big Bill may have saved a few points in his percentage, at that, the way things broke. • * * ANYHOW. It was “Bill Smith Day,” and there was a husky crowd out to the doings—4.000 it looked, any way, not counting the band, which rendered melody in compressed or tabloid form between the acts. The other visual evidence of the oc casion being celebratory of Mr. Smith’s anniversary was staged just as the Crackers came to bat in the first round. • * * T] MPIRE FIFIELD held up a large and warning hand at Mr. Ery, who was winding himself up, and a gentleman, whose name everybody agreed was Smith, advanced cautious ly to the platter. He carried a tray on w'hich were lavishly displayed a Golden Horseshoe, tied with a bow of very red ribbon, and something that looked like a box of breakfast food, only it waa as done up in white paper These articles were presented with much eclat and very little conversa tion to Mr. Bill Smith himself, who turned a delicate cerise and bowed inclusively to the other Mr. Smith and the applauding multitude. Whereupon the band played “Dixie,” the multitude split a couple of wel kins. Mr. Smith shouldered the horse shoe and went back to the coop, and Mr. Flfleld said: “Stee-rike one!” • * • B.—It was discovered later that • the mysterious Large Package contained eating tobacco—enough to las* Bill through a whole double- header, it was estimated. P.S.—Bill also gets a neat rake-off on the paid admissions to his little birthday party, with the compliments of the local baseball association. • • • T HESE important ceremonies being safely' out of the way, the Crack ers began earnestly to go about dis posing of the youthful Mr. Ery. re cently of the Georgia-Alabama circle. On the Crackers’ bench it was freely predicted that Mr. Ery would last just four innings. ST. LOUS (I. L.) That estimate was slightly con servative. Mr. Ery stuck to his first job like a sick kitten to a hot brick. The I youngster pitched excellent ball right up to the cloving chapter—and then the reserves had to be called out to pinch him off. • • * I N fnct, the first run of the game ; * was wrenched violently away.from | no lesM a personage than Mr. Josephus Conzelman, and for exactly*two hours Mr. Ery held the classic hurler even —or a shade better. Providence again was breaking our way, operating mainly through the eastern wing of Mr. Harry Chap man. although there were symptoms of the miraculous in a number of fielding plays, notably by Wally Smith. . • m • ]\JR CHAPMAN earned a special chapter in this history. The pet hobby of his side-kick was to let some Baron, usually Messen ger. get to first after two w ere out. The recipient, being given one base, would promptly try to take another. Then Chapman would nail him. He did this no fewer than five separate and apoplectic times, and for good measure nipped the mighty Kniveley off second in the fourth inning, when that gent was there with nobody at all In the discardr—a most opportune time for nipping. Harry's work was beautiful to watch—from the Cracker bench. * • • W ELL, getting over it in a hur ry, our Mr. Welchonce. having a hunch that Scouts Bobby Gilks and Billy Gilbert were in the stands look ing him over, proceeded to get him self a atfngle every time he came up, which was four. The last single ar rived in the ninth inning and paved the way to the second and winning run off Mr. Rookie Ery. Smith’s sacrifice hit put Harry, on second, and Bisland was h. b. p. o. The rookie was fluttering under a roaring tempest of rooting, and Hol land wafted him out and walked. Right there something happened that looked bad for our little friend Jaclnta Calvo, but good for the ball game. Billy Smith vent Frank Manush up to bat for him. and after jockeying with Ery to the two-and-two stage, Frank lammed one over second. * * • S SWITCHING off the gloat, we see the Billikens in the offing, one game to the north of us, with four games scheduled to be played, begin ning with a couple to-day. Winning three of those games will put the Crackers in second placo and keep them after the flying Gulls, now just six laps in front. ’Nothlr chance to turn on o. t Crucial Series. BOXING News of the Ring Game S T. LOUIS, MO., Aug. 21.—What’s the matter with St. Loins? Fblks in the Ea«* think that the Yan kees are In bad light, *but the New York efs loo lead so fnuch better than the Missourians yesterday that Ban Johnson’s viilt here la timely. The American League Czar has sent word that he would be here this afternoon to talk over the St. Louie situation with Owner Hedges. Stovall and cer tain newspaper men. The league po tentate recognizes that baseball Is pretty nearly dead in St. Louis and he thinks he can produce a remedy-. Yesterday only 1,100 people saw New York beat the Browns and that includes the pass gate. People here no longer patronize the game, either at the American or National League parks. For that matter, the Federal League doesn’t draw either. There was a time when this city wa#» known as the most loyal of all burgs, hut continued disaster has finally sick ened the patrons, and wfiile 10,000 people visit the new public bathing pond a measly 1,100 go to see th? cellar champions fight it out. It is just possible that St. Louis may beat It out of the Circuit and some other city take its pluce. Secretary Tom Davis. of the New York club, was disgusted yesterday at the showing. In Chicago the Yankees drew splendid crowds, because they are playing jlist as good ball as the Athletics now, what with the four pitchers going like demons and Swee ney turning back nearly every man who tries to steal. “None of the clubf* are making any money out here.” said Davis. “Even the Sunday attendance has fallen away. I can not explain it, but the local jump is beginning to be a hard, ship, considering that a visiting club ip barely able to make expenses.” Ban Johnson may decide to shift the circuit. For example, either Bal timore or Buffalo would be a better paying proposition than fit. Louis. Many managers have had a go at this team, but not since the days of Com- iskev has theTe been a pennant win ner here.

Work on Atlanta Autodrome Started Secretary Frank Weldon, of the Atlanta Autodrome Athletic Associa tion, which will control auto racing at Atlanta’s big autodrome, yesterday started a large force of men at work at the grounds where the big wooden satneer will go up. TShese men were put to work clear ing off the ground of all shrubbery, stumps, etc., getting ready for the grading, which will be the first step toward the actual building of the big board track. The clearing wift require a few days, and as very little grading is necessary, work on the saucer will commence within the next week or ten days and rushed to a rapid com pletion. Everything is sailing along smooth ly, and if it continues to do so, ths track will be ready for the first races In October. NEW PACINO RECORD. GOSHEN, N Y., Aug. 21.—Directum I the chestnut stallion, owned by James Butler, of New York, to-day is the pos sessor of the world's mile pacing record on a half-mile track.

Britton has offered to give either Ritchie, Cross, Welch or Rivera a large side bet, but they ail seem to be looking for easier game.

C HICAGO, Aug. 21.—Word reached Chicago to-day that George Stovall, manager of the St. Louis Browne, would be succeeded at the end of the year by Branch Rickey, present secretary of the club. It was reported that the official statement to that effect would be mado within a few days. Rickey was formerly a catcher, and before his appointment to his present position was director of athletics at the University of Michigan. That Stovall would have a succes sor has been common belief for sev eral weeks. The talk of a successor began first when he and Umpire Fer guson had a run-in, which terminated in the manager spitting upon the of flclal. That aroused the ire of Presi dent Johnson and drew for Stovall words of condemnation as well as a suspension ami a fine. The manager also was compelled to apologize. The American League head Is said to believe that Stovall failed to learn a lesson from this. President Hedges also is said to think his team de serves a higher standing in the race with the material he has given the manager. Scouts Look Over Welchonce? +•+ +•+ +•+ +•* +•+ +•+ Also Have Hunch on Joe Agler B >BBY GILKS and Billy Gilbert, veteran ball players and scouts, respectively, for th© Cleveland Americans and the New York Na tionals, sat out In front of the hotel last night and talked about the gum shoe trade and its prospects. The prospec ts seemed to be pretty dismal, to hear them tell it. Neither would admit any specific "looking over” proceedings here, but both would talk—guardedly—about this player or that player; merely from a disinterested viewpoint, of course. For example, Mr Gilbert gave it as hia opinion that Joe Agler, sold to Jersey City recently, would be work ing for Frank Chance next year. “He’s a sweet first baseman, that boy,” said Billy. "Only has one little fault in fielding and one in batting, and he should get over both easily. He seems to have a little trouble with the force play at second on a sacrifice bunt, but with his natural speed and fielding abilty, coupled with the fact that he is left-handed, he should get over that quickly. "In batting, he is a little Inclined to pull, but It evidently isn’t because he’s gun-shy. Also, he has a fine eye for a pitched ball, and a little ’spreading’ applied to his feet will correct the pulling tendency. Then he ought to hit well in any league.” Both scouts maintain a lot of dark some mystery as to their visit here. They admit it is not for their health, but that is all. Taking a scatter shot at It, the best hunch is that the sleuths are looking at Harry Welchonce. That is only a hunch, mind you, and there was equally as much conversation spilled over Wally Smith and Bisland and Tommy Long. But the Welchonce stuff sounded sort of different. Still, you can t tell about a scout. Billy Gilbert will probably depart to-night, while Bobby is likely to stay the week out in our midst.
