Ont Grain of Comfort—When Gulls and Crackers Play, Both Can't Win
BISLAND AND HORSESHOES SAVE C. THOMPSON
Bv 0. B. Keeler.
<* S Rube Kissinger walked slowly
from the field yesterday after
noon, bowed under a tough-
luck defeat, somebody yelled from the
stands:
“Never mind, Rube; you weren’t to
blame! ”
Rube twisted a wry grin out of his
rugged map
“Oh yes, I was to blame, all right,”
he Joined, “I didn’t strike ’em all
out.’
• • *
AND with not an idea of low-rating
** Bill Smith and hi? fighting help
It may as well be said that that was
the kind of a game it was.
Carl Thompson can pat himself on
the back, or as near that section as
he can reach, and say to himself:
"Carl-ol’-boy, you are one Lucky
Guy.”
In the next chapter will be set forth
a few of the reasons why Carl-ol’-boy
Is a Lucky Guy.
* • •
C ARL was hit safely at least once
in every inning. Twice he yield
ed two hits in an inning, and once he
was nicked three times.
Total: Thirteen hits, one a triple,
. good for four runs.
Rube yielded six hits, three of them
of the flukiest kind they could be
and get in the box score.
But those hits were kicked, booted,
mauled, hammered and otherwise
twisted into five runs—enough to win.
No wonder the Rube was sore.
• • •
S TILL, he spotted himself a bad
start by allowing the first and
only genuine extra-base hit to fall In
the first inning after giving two
bases on balls.
Mr. Wallop Smith was the author
of that honest punch, and it was of
the three-base variety.
So Mr. Kissinge^ was in bad. to
lead off.
• • •
B UT Mr. Kissinger’s liability ceased
right there, and while spookish
fielding, mainly by Bisland, was sav
ing Carl’s bacon, the Rube s alleged
help was doing all it could to take
the game away from him and presen.
it on a platter to the Crackers.
Bill Abstein, in fact, insisted that
the platter be sterling—no Sheffield
Plate for William.
• • •
I T was sir William who gave the
1 Crackers the tie in the seventh
round, just after a clean hit by the
Rube himself had put his club out in
front.
Holland had waited for a base on
balls. A sacrifice started him sec
ond and he was going so well he
headed for third under a full head
of steam. . , . ,
Third base was highly unprotected,
but that didn’t deter Bill Abstein. He
chucked the ball to the bleachers, and
the tying run was over.
Ty— -‘tube fairly shook his fist at
'■L’hy didn’t you stick It In your
Docket, you big lot*ter,’ he shouted
wnA t«M he a drive
from Thompson's bat a snlnute later
he tried to anork Abstein off the
bag with It The ball did ‘ hr “ lJ ^
Bill, but Agler fanned wit* CaJt on
Y\T ELL, that was the kind of sup-
port that beat the Rube.
On the other hand, we have Mr.
Bisland again in a star role. He
handled nine chances yesterday,
knocking down two other drives with
out a chance to retire the runner, and
made a runaway catch of Abs*tein’s»
Texas leaguer in the eighth that
saved the game for Carl for the sixth
or seventh time that day.
It W'as Shanley’s failure to get the
same kind of hit from Agler’s bat,
with the bases full In the ninth, that
finally shoved over the Crackers’ win
ning run.
• • •
Y\7 ELCHONCE was out of the game
** with a damaged leg, injured at
the plate in the game of the day be
fore. It came mighty near being the
first combat of the season Harry ha.!
not played in, but he was sent up to
bat for Carl Thompson in the ninth
and drew’ a piyposeful base on balls.
Harry lacks fourteen hits of tapping
the record for a season, according to
the latest dope. There are eleven
more games to be played.
A MONG other fielding feats, the
Crackers put on three double
plays by way of fighting off the at
tack of the enemy. Holland to Smith
to Agler, Holland to Agler to Hol
land, and Smith to Agler was the
way the two-ply killings came off.

Morning Game Will
Be Played With the
Pelicans Labor Day
I T is a matter of tradition that two
games of baseball should be
staged on Labor- Day—barring
rain or other untoward events.
Usually the brace of combats are
put on as twin acts in a matinee per
formance. Then it ordinarily Is nec
essary to seat fans all around the
outlying precincts of the expansive
park and make other concessions and
ground rules and so on.
This approaching Labor Day ther-3
is to be a morning game and an aft
ernoon game, so that all tastes may
he suited and every loyal fan acoom •
modated ns comfortably as possible,
while keeping ever In mind the mo
tive of our present existence—
“Set a new attendance record and
beat Birmingham.”
The morning game is to be played
at 10:30 o’clock, and the p. m. affair
will start at the usual hour—3:30
o’clock.
No parade will be on hand to dis
tract vour attention from the princi
pal business of the day.
So plans may be paid to watch th?
Crackers wallop the wretched Pels
twice in the same place, or vice versa,
or split even, as the case may be.
ARRANGE WORLD TOUR DATES
FOR WHITE SOX AND GIANTS
NEW YORK, Aug. 29.—Here are
some of the places where the Giants
and White Sox, on their world's tour,
will play:
Yokohama, Tokio, Kobe. Nagasaki,
in Japan: Hongkong, China; Manila,
P. I.; Honolulu. H. I., and a number
of cities In Australia.
Dick Bunnell, who is advance agent
for the tour, has sailed for the Orient
with the idea of arranging more
dates The teams will sail from Van
couver B. C., on November 19. They
will go first to the Hawaiian Islands,
thence to Japan, China, the Philip
pines and from there to Australia,
where they expect to land on January
1 They will be back in the United
States early in February, according to
their pgiiseht tings.
Manager Can’t Win All Alone
+•+ d-»4-
Cases of Tinker-Chance Prove
T IE theory that the ball club has
quite as much to do with the
winning of a pennant as does
the manager, and the old saw about
a “manager must have something to
manage before he wins fame,” will
have two converts and two strong
ahherents at the end of the good year
1913.
One is Prank Chance, and the other
Joe Tinker.
At the start of the season, gTeat
things were expected of the Yanks
and of the Reds. Why? Because of
Chance and Tinker. Those great
things have failed to come to pass.
Because of Chance and Tinker? Not
at all.
It’s doubtful whether there ever
was as weak a major league ball
club as the one Frank Chance took
hold of. He has been strengthening.
He has made f«ome radical moves.
He has been trying to get possession
of youngsters who would help him
in adding to his reputation as a great
manager.
Joe Tinker has discovered that you
must possess something in the way of
good Dali players if you are to get
anywhere. His experience as a short
stop and his ability to field and hit
did him a world of good as a player.
! But they didn’t bring him success
as a manager.
Marvelous deeds are credited to
Connie Mack. He is hailed as the
eighth wonder. But it’s our opinion
that his star would set if he didn’t
possess a bunch of .300 hitters.

\X7HAT is going to be the influence
vv of woman in baseball? At pres
ent there are three clubs in the Na
tional League owned by members of
the fair but weak sex.
Mrs. Britton owns the St. Igmis
club, Mrs. John T. Brush owns the
controlling stock in New York and
Mrs. William Locke is owner of the
Philadelphia club.
Mrs. Britton was the first woman
to own a ball club and her first year’s
experience was not only sad, but ex
pensive.
Mrs. Havenor, who owns the Mil
waukee club In the American Associa
tion, has placed her business worries
in the care of a man who knows the
game, Bill Armour.

Attendance Race Tightens Up=-
Put Atlanta in Front
If You Don't Believe Your Boss Is a Baseball Fan, Ask
Him to Let You Go to the Game To-day.
T HAT big turn-out Wednesday boosted the Atlanta attendance
back into the race with the Birmingham populace.
It’s a neck-and-neck race again, who will turn out the
most Faithful Fans in 1913.
The town that does will have earned the right to name itself
the Best Baseball Town in the South.
Atlanta is THAT TOWN.
We all know that.
But if we take things easy and let Slagville slip it over on
us—what kind of come-back will we have?
And Slagville with a team that hardly looks able to yank
itself out of the Second Division.
Take it the other way ’round.
Bill Smith has taken a club that finished in the ruck the last
two years.
Bill Smith, backed by the directors, has made that club get
up and fight for the pennant—and land as good as second, any
way.
The Crackers have trimmed the Barons in the last six games.
And it would be pretty sad if the Cracker fans let the Barons
out-draw the Crackers in the closing weeks of the season.
Pretty sad—it would be WORSE THAN THAT.
It would be QUITTING.
And you fellows know what you say about a BALL CLUB
that QUITS.
The Atlanta merchants and business men are FOR this at
tendance record thing.
They are giving PREFERRED ATTENTION to requests for
afternoon off to go to the BALL GAME.
Try it.
There’s a row of double-headers coming up now.
There’s a morning game and an afternoon game Monday—
Labor Day.
Make your plans to go to BOTH GAMES.
Try it.

Plan Sunday Ball
For Massachusetts
NEW BEDFORD, MASS, Aug. 29
Citizens of Massachusetts may be

an a test an ordinance has been In
troduced In the New Bedford City
Council calling for a vote on whether
Sunday ball shall be permitted in this
city. It Is admitted that the State
law' may prevent, but the sense of tho
voters will at least be determined if a
vote Is allowed. President Winsper.
of the local New Bedford club, says
he believes If the question was sub
mitted to a referendum In the State
at the coming fall election it would
carry three to one in Massachusetts.
The law under which prosecutions
for Sunday playing have been made is
two centuries old, and advocates of
the game say It is not suited for pres
ent conditions.
