THOMPSON By 0. B. Iveeler. A 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.’ * * * A ND with not an idea of low-rating Bill Smith and his 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 aM he can reach, and say to himself: “Carl-ol’-boy, you are one Lucks' 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' n 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 fluk -’st kind they could be and get in the box score. But those hits ware kicked, booted, mauled, hammered and otherwise twisted into five runs—enough to win. hJo wonder the Rube was tore. ... S TILL, he spotted himself a bad start b; allowing the first and only genuini extra-base hit to fall in the : first in ting after giving two bases on ba Is. Mr. Wallop Smith was the author of that hon. st punch, and it was of the three-bt -e variety. So Mr. Kissinger was in bad. to lead off. ... B UT Mr. I issinger'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 present 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 Crackers the tie in the seventh round, lust 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 to 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. The Rube fairly shook his fist at Bill. “Why didn’t you stick It in your pocket, you big lobster," he shouted, and when he stopped a line drive from Thompson’s bat a minute later he tried to Knock Abstein off the bag with it The bailed get through jtill, Nut Agler farnseA ^ritb Carl on VX^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 Absitein’s Texas leaguer In the eighth that saved the game for Carl for the sixth or seventh time that day. It was 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. • • * VU ELCHONCR 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 had not played in, but he was sent up to bat for Carl Thompson in the ninth and drew a purposeful 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. AMONG 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. * • • TJ EGULAR daily feature; Mobile ‘won. Happy thought for to-day: Mobile has to get up against that Hurling Hun, the Pestiferous Pole, before long. Greetings: How’do, Pelicans! 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 there is to be a morning game and an aft ernoon game, so that all tastes may be suited and every loyal fan accom • modated as 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 your 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. Manager Can’t Win All Alone *i*#*I* Cases of Tinker-Chance Prove 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 present plans. T HE theory that the bah 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 Frank Chance, and the other Joe Tinker. At the start of the season, great things wefe 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 $«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 discovery] that you must pos.sess pomething in the way of good oall 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. • • • Q.4./Z) Harry Thatc to Hugo ay Me- Orate.

But from present prospects that is about what the fans who attend the jvorld series will hear. The Naps seem to have lost their nerve at the crucial moment. Two weeks ago . they were going like the hero in a moving picture play, and BOXING News of the Ring Game Connie Mack and his men seemed to be on the run. but Engineer Mack has oiled up the machine, and though there are a few broken cogs, it is slip ping along again In the old-fashioned way. In Tom Lynch’s league, it is all over but the shouting. • * * tYTIIAT is going to be the influence ** 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. Louip 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 flrPt 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 rare of a man who knows the game, Bill Armour. Imagine the three feminine owners in the National League at a meet ing of that organization. Fine chance they would have against the men magnates. At that, woman is wise, and now and then she puts something over Watch the little game the ladles will play* in the National League. Unless Jim Griffin, of San Francisco, consents to referee the fight between Willie Ritchie and Freddie Welch, at Vancouver, there is danger of the bout, set for September 20, being called off. Griffin has declined, but Ritchie's man ager Insists that he will accept no other referee. * * * The Canadian police have refused to sanction the proposed bout between Ritchie and Ray Campbell, billed for Labor Day, because of Campbell’s poor showing In a recent fight. • • •> Denver fans will have a chance to see Frankie Burns and Benny Chavez in action to-night. The two bantamweights are scheduled to clash in a ten-round set-to, and an interesting mill should be the result. The winner will probably be matched with Kid Williams. * * * Steve Ketchel, the Chicago light weight, will make his next fight against Eddie Johnson, the “Fighting Dane." They are billed to meet over the twenty- round route on September 15 at Pueblo, Col. Up around Canada. Johnson’s ad mirers consider him another Battling Nelson. • • • Kenosha, Wts., promoters have put the ban on all heavyweight boxers.

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. FODDER FOR FANS Plan Sunday Ball For Massachusetts NEW BEDFORD, MASS., Aug. 29. Citizens of Massachusetts may be permitted to say for themselves this fall If they favor Sunday baseball. In its campaign for a more liberal Sunday, the New England League is advocating a State referendum, and as 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 \f 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. The Athletics romped away from the New York Yankees yesterday, swell.ng their lead a half length over the Cleve land Naps. • * * Visions of a new pitching record in baseball went by the board when Wal ter Johnson, of the Wasnlngton Sena tors, was beaten after winning fifteen straight games.

The two manager!), Frank and Smith, have very sensibly decided to make the twin bills of to-day and Saturday seven-lnnlng affairs. The Labor Day contests will be separated by a recess for luncheon, one being played In the morning, so they of course, will go the full route. Ru the two contests this afternoon will be conveniently abbreviated, and the first one will begin at 2:15 o'clock.

Thomasville to Play Valdosta for Title THOMASVILLE, GA., Aug. 29.— The first of the post-season series of games between Thomasville and Val dosta for the pennant of the Empire League will be played at Valdosta on Friday. The next game will be played on Saturday. They will alternate be tween the two towns until either Thomasville or Valdosta hA» won four out of the seven. Valdosta made special request for the game to be played there on Mon day. which Is Labor Day, as It Is thought that a record-breaking crowd will attend the contest. The interest taken in this series of games Is intense. Arrangements are being made to run special trains be tween the two towns to carry tha crowds to the games. PLAYERS BACK fN FOLD.
