But Why Shouldn't Mobile Show a Human Instinct and Drop One?
By 0. B. Keeler.
t rOU gotta give ’em credit—they’re
| trying to stop up.
■*■ The triumphant march of the
Crackerm continues over the pros
trate but kicking dejecta membra of
the Turtles—continues toward what
would be first place, only Mobile con
tinues to act with utter disregard of
the S. P. C. A. and other charitable
organizations.
Rut you gotta give ’em credit.
The Turtles, we mean.
They’re doing their best.
• » *
N 'OW, you mightn’t have thought
so. watching that double-header
Tuesday. There wasn’t much best
about it, anyhow. Bill Smith's help
had on their hitting habits, and Price
and Thompson were tighter than the
peel on a billiard ball, and that was
all there was to it.
But you will recall that Monday s
battle ended in a draw, in eleven in
nings.
And maybe Sarah Bernhardt and
Company didn’t offer some resistance
yesterday?
Oh, we should say SOME re
sistance!
• * •
T HERE was E. Dent, now.
Elliott was steaming along in
great shape. He was fanning ’em,
going and coming. Not a hint of
approaching trouble afflicted Elliott’s
honest soul.
That was in the second, third and
fourth innings.
But in the last-mentioned frame,
it came time for Mr. Dent to do a bit
of sprinting.
It is only 90 feet from home jflate
to first base. But that comparatively
insignificant distance was enough to
demonstrate one thing to Mr. Dent.
He’had taken on too much lunch
eon.
* * •
^T a late hour last night the auto
autopsy was still In progress, and
Elliott had not decided if it was the
Cantaloupe or the Green Peas or the
Veal Cutlets or the Ice Cream. Or
the combination.
* • *
F)F that as it may, and probably is,
or at any rate should be—any
how, Dent had just arrived at the slab
to open on the visitors for the fifth
inning when a terrific unhappiness
struck him just over the heart, only,
not so high up and riot quite so far
to the west.
Practically at the same time, Mr.
Schweitzer, of the enemy, struck on?
of Mr. Dent’s hooks and straightened
the kink entirely out of it for a single.
R IGHT there Mr. Conzelman came
on and Mr. Dent reached for
the emergency treatment.
* * *
M R. CONZELMAN got some emer
gency treatment himself. The
Turtles massaged him briskly. With
four runs in and others sprouting.
Slim Love was sponged off, tuned up,
and wheeled to the center of the
arena, promptly shutting off the per
nicious activity of the opposition by
getting two men out without further
oamage.
• • •
Q F course, it might have been men-
^ tioned up in front that Mr. Har
rell had come to grief in the first
inning to the extent of three runs,
while another in the domestic portion
of the Fatal Fifth and two more in
the Gory Seventh eked out the third
win of the series for the Crackers,
6 to 5. Love was almost invincible
in the closing innings.
• * *
S CORE another for Crackerville.
Tommy Long got three runs
yesterday, the second tally being
Tommy's hundredth of the season,
breaking the Southern League record
of 99. Then he got another for good
measure, and the chances are he
will get eight or ten more before
the flag flies, thereby setting up a
fearfully discouraging mark for the
Young idea to shoot at in future.
Athletics Riddled
By Serious Mishaps
PHILADELPHIA. PA., Aug. '.j.—
Connie Mack is struggling along,
despite adversity of 111 fortune. In a
manner to make his Athletics top-
heavy favorites in the American
League pennant race. But the White
Elephants are likely to have the time
of their lives in making a favorable
showing against the Giants in the
world's series. At the present time
ten of Connie Mack’s athletes are
suffering from injury or sickness.
Catchers Schang and Thomas are
forced to remain in the game with
split fingers because Lapp has a more
seriously damaged hand. Orr has a
split fin, and Strunk is seriously hi.
Danny Murphy has been in bed sev
eral days. Pitcher Bush is out with a
dislocated thumb. Brown has a seri
ous cold. Coombs has not recovered
from an attack of typhoid fever, and
• he veteran Eddie Plank is ailing.

wealthv breeder of horses in Pennsylva
nia At the State fair here Coxe ex
hibited a number of trotters and carried
©fi a large share of the purse money.
A MERICUS, GA„ Aug. 28.—The
Empire League season ended
here yesterday with a com
bined field day and ball game. Amer-
icus won from Cordele, 2 to 0, In as
pretty a game as has been staged on
the local lot this season.
The field events were especially in
teresting. Bowden, of Cordele, won
the 100-yard dash and the race
around the bases. Chancey, who leads
the league In home runs, won the
fungo hitting in a walk. Dick Man
chester, the most popular player in
the circuit, was an easy winner in the
long-distance throw. He heaved the
pellet 492 feet. Bernstein proved to
be the fastest man in laying down
and beating out a bunt. A throwing
contest at a target was won by Fil-
lemgem, the Cordele spitball artist.
* • •
W HEN Dick Manchester came to
the plate in the fourth inning,
Colonel Deah Nesbit presented him
with the silver loving cup donated to
him by The Atlanta Georgian and
Sunday American. Colonel Nesbit
cogratulated Dick on winning the
popularity contest and made a ver7
appropriate speech.
* * *
A MERICUS will be represented in
the Empire League again next
year with a team even stronger than
the present one. Already the man
agement is at work strengthening th“
team, and the fans of the town will
get some real baseball next year.

Kansas University football team, who

ties as coach of the Kansas eleven.
FEDS PLAN TO ENLARGE
LEAGUE NEXT SEASON
INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. *.<».—Plans were
prepared to-day for the enlarging of the
Federal Baseball league, the outlaw or
ganization, next year. At a secret meet
ing last night the club owners, it is
said, signed bonds which will assure
players their salaries for next year.
The grounds at Cleveland, Chicago, St.
Louis and Indianapolis will be abolished
at the end of tne season and new and
more accessible locations will be se
cured before the 1914 season opens. It
is possible that the league will be In
creased to ten or even twelve clubs next
vear.
T N fact, Thomas covered himself
1 with glory yesterday p'.is’ere.]
and kalsomined himself with glor\.
and added some astonishing iniir.il
decorations by way of topping off th-
job
In the first day Tommy sprinted
himself all the way to a pair of kick 4
and a new lid, winning the 100-> ir.l
dash and the rlng-around-the-bas-s
event.
Then, as aforesaid. Tommy bus - 1
the league record for getting runs,
and set another record. Also he nit
a home run and a double and made a
bewildering circus catch in the field.
Oh, Tommy had a pretty sad day—
what?
• • *
A ND while rpfeirini? to thp Paths of
Glory, kindly do not leave out
our o. f., Rivington Bisland. Esq.
Rivvy got four cute Mttle hits in
as many efforts, and ran up a string
of ten chances handled without a
skip.
Our private hunch is that the Ge
nius of Baseball has spread a wing
over this Bisland "rson. and it is ,iu
use for him to try to boot anything.

Joe Conzelman To
Face Turtles To-day
Joe Conzelman is slated to
work on the Turtles this after
noon, In the effort to make It
four games in a row from Bill Bern
hardt’s bunch.
For their part, Rube Kissinger is
due to toil, and we should have a fine
little lively time with the Rube—that
is, if we are planning to trim him. He
is not exactly what would be called
easy trimming.
Elliott Dent, who was overcome
with luncheon in the fifths inning of
yesterday’s game, checked in O. K
this morning and wanted to work to.
day, but Manager Smith told him to
take it easy. Dent had toiled four
good innings yesterday, anyway, aril
naturally would be a bit off edge,
starting over again to-day.
Manager Smith heard from his Sa
vannah friend yesterday, the treasur
er of the Indians, who wants to play
the Crackers a five-game series after
the closing of the Southern League
season.
It feems the Indians want to nego
tiate on a fifty-flftv basis at the gate,
which Bill fancies is a bit lenient on
the part of his hands. Two games
were to be played In Savannah, two
In Atlanta and the odd game would
go to the city showing the most dis
position to attend the doings.
Negotiations still are pending.
C HATTANOOGA. TENN . Aug. 28.
Harry Coveleskle, well-known
in Southern League fandom as
the star hurler of Kid Elberfeld’s
Lookouts, Is peeved at one William
Prough, of the Barons. Wee Willie,
just at present, is the only lad who
is leading the Pole in the race for
the medal for the leading hurler of
Pater Kavanaugh’s circuit, and the
Hun openly charges that the elon
gated Baron has held his lead by-
laying off during both series with the
Atlanta Crackers.
Just at present Prough has won 21
and lost 5 for a percentage of .805,
while Covey has won 24 and lost 8
for an average of .750, but the Pole i>
of the opinion that Wee Willie kept
his average from being 21 and 7
by dodging an engagement with the
Smlthmen. The Barons lost two
straight series to the Crackers, and
the future Tiger does not believe
that they- would have fared any bet
ter with the ex-Red on the mound.
Local fanatics are pulling hard for
Covey for the hurling trophy, as they
considered him entitled to it. He
has pitched in harder luck than any
man In the league and among the
eight games that are charged to him
as lost is a no-hlt affair with Char
ley Case, which the Hun lost, 1 to
0. on errors, fie lost two consecutive
games when the Lookouts failed to
score behind him in as many innings
And yet in spite of this he has hurled
more innings than any man in the
league, and still retains a wonderful
average.
