OLD BILL NAUGHTON SAYS that the “something-in-the-tea” . *ory about the JefYries-Johnson fight is •gaining credence.” but ap parently those with whom it is gaining credence are keeping aw ful ly quiet about it. Y Ol’ just have to hand it to those Crackers. If you didn’t, they probably would run away with it. anyhow. Yesterday was field day at Ponce DeLeon, and the Crackers made a clean sweep of the field. They cap tured first place in every one of the five events, getting unto themselves, in addition to honor and glory the plaudits of a big crowd, sundry shoes and hats and silk shirts an 1 umbrellas and like usuables, offered by enterprising Atlanta merchants! to stimulate competition with Bir mingham in the Grand Attendance Contest now waging fearfully be tween the two cities. Tommy Long was the individual hero, winning the 100-yar>. dash like a regular sprinter, and circling the bases in 14 seconds, only 2-5 of ii second south of Hans Lobert’s fa mous mark, set in Cincinnati a num ber of years ago. Our new’ outfielder, Mr. Nixon, showed a powerful whip, winging the pill in from deep center well beyond the plate. The distance was too great to measure, but it looked not far from 40ft feet. The record. 421 feet and a few’ inches, is held by Sheldon Le- jeune. Frank Manush also was a double prize winner, copping $5 for expedi tion in a sack race and a brace of siik shirts for enterprise in fungo hitting, walloping the ball nearly to the score* board on the fly. N old-established Southern League record went glimmer ing yesterday In the fifth in ning of the combat between the Tur tles and the Crackers. Tommy Long started the game with 98 runs to his credit for the season of 1913. The league record was 99 run a scored by Gus Hill, of Nashville, in 1902. Tommy went right after the record. He doubled himself on in the domestic portion of the first Inning and scored the record-tying run when Smith tripled. A lot of ball players might have stopped there, figuring on a dozen game* more in which to break the record. But Tommy had other ideas. Besides, the Crackers got to needing more runs right then. So In the fifth inning Tommy scored another run. rounding out his cen tury mark and breaking Mr. Hill’s record. Then In the .seventh Tommy got up with Agler on the towpath and just naturally kissed that old pill nearly to the edge of the visible universe. That was the third run, making 101 in all, and putting Tommy two ahead of the former record. And Tommy still ha* a dozen games in which to add other runs to the mark.

C HICAGO. Aug. 28.—Walter John son. marvel of the Senatorial pitching staff, not only is one of the greatest twlrler* who ever stepped on a slab, but he Is a hurl ing freak. He is the only pitcher I ever looked at who apparently didn't care whether the batter knew what was coming or not There may be other twitlers who tell the batter In advance what is coming when they are so far ahead that it makes no difference, or so fur behind that the game is a joke, but this Johnson does It right along He , |oea U w hen the game la close lie heat Jim Scott 2 to 1 last Sun day on the South Side. It's very true that Johnson had to possess much luck to get the verdict, which gave him his fourteenth straight win With two on and two out. Ping Hodie lost a flv hall in the sun and permit ted two runs to count. Those two runs gave the Senators the victory. But that Isn't the burden of this story This ®tor\ is of Johnson as a pitcher, and it l*n't bused upon that single gain# Did you notice how he pitched 10 Chase/in the first round ' He«dy Work on 9lab. Berger reached first because of Morgan * error and went to second on Lord's Infield out. Chase trod to the plate. Now* a base hit would have put Berger across and the Sox would have had a lead of one run. Mind you. this first game *»f the se ries was t fight for n run. Both man agers figured that one run would win Chase knew very well that Johnson I was going to stick that first bull over And Chase knew Just as well that he was going to step into it ami drive it out for a base hit if he could. Likew ise, this Johnson per son out on the slab knew that Hal would step into it. Did he put it anywhere except over the plate? He did not If he had possessed a ride of a bore that shot a basebah he couldn't have put It nearer the center of the plate. "One strike.” howled the umpire. The next ball was in the same place, and Hal swung again Two strikes.” howled the nmp. Then Johnson pulled the unexpect ed. tie started a curve ball for the plate and Hal swung It broke wide and the first sacker fanned on a near wild pitch. Hut the first two times that Chase | the average pitcher tries. If he has control he pitches Inside or outside, he tries for the corners. If he has the batter in the hole, le tempts him with pitches that the batter dare not let go by and which he can’t drive far if he connects. Johnson may do that occasionally, but in the majority of cases he puts that ball straight across Did you happen to notice how he pitched to John Collins in the ninth? It would have been foolhardy for al most any other twirler in the business to have pitched as he did to Shano.’ With two gone*. Bodie and Chappell singled and Schalk, who ran for Ping, was on second. Collins had been hit ting fairly well. This time he whipped the first ball pitched into the stands for a feul and a strike. The second likewise was a strike. Now, the ordinary twlrler would have kept the bail inside «*r outside or high or low, as he figured the weakness of 4he batter, because a base hit meant a run and a tied score. s’ What did Johnson do? He put on a bit more steam and whipped the ball square across the plate and waist high. Collins swung and the game was over. "Kidded” Ping Bodie Out. 1 say there may he other twirlers who don't care knows what is the> are mighty scare Hodie came up in the sixth. He had Just lost that tly ball In the sun and was feeling pretty bad, so John son began to “kla” him. "Here's a good one.” said the Wash ington twlrler. "One strike." howled the ump. But Johnson had kept the faith. The ball was square across the plate. The only trouble was that It was a bit too fast. "Well, you didn’t hit that one. so I'll give you another chance." laughed Johnson. "Two strikes," howled the ump. Yes. It was straight across The only trouble was thul Ping's eye wasn’t quick enough to telegraph Ping’s brain that it was time to swing that club. Yes. Ping struck out. But telling is quite a habit with this Johnson. He tells you what’s coming, and it comes. The only trouble is that you are no better off than if he handed you the "double cross.” "WHITE HOPES PLACE BOX ING IN JEOPARDY,” announces a contemporary, which we consider a big new s beat, if true.
