THOMPSON BOXING . News of the Ring Game By O. B. Keeler. \ S Rube Kissinger walked slowly from the field yesterday after noon, bowed under a tough- ik defeat, somebody yelled from the ands: “Never minrl. Rube; you weren’t to a me!” Rube twisted a wry grin out of his igged map “Oh. yes, I was to blame, all right,” ; joined. “I didn’t strike ’em all 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 as he can reach, and say to himself: r “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 leaf! 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, tnulcd, hammered and otherwise twisted into five runs—enough to win. No wonder the Rube was sore. * * * CTILL. he spotted himself a bad x-* 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. Kissinger was in bad, to lead off. * * • B UT Mr. KifsitiRer's liability oeaaeii right there, and while apookish 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 (packers. 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, ju.°! after a clean hit by tlie 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 flat at Bill. ••Why didn’t you stick it in your pocket, you big lobster,” he shouted, end when he stopped a line drive from Thompson’s bat a minute later be tried to ; <nock Abstein off the bag with it. The ball did get through Pill, but Agler fanned with Carl oh second. U 7 ELL, that was the kind of sup- V port that beat the Rube. On the other hand, we have Mr. Bisland agadn 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 Abstein'.® 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 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 fill 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 pur present existence;— “Set a new attendance record and beat Bjrmingham.” The morning game is to be plaved at 10:30 o’clock, find 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 the- Crackers wallop the wretched Pels twice in the same place, or vice versa or split even, as the case may he.

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. 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.

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. Manager Can’t Win All Alone +§v •!*••!* •l*®*!* Cases of Tinker-Chance Prove 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 Baron3 out-draw the Crackers in the closing weeks of the season. Pretty sad—it would be WORSE THAN THA. 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 o ffto 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. . 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, Nag&staki, 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, haa sailed for the Orient with the idea of arranging more dates. The teams will sail from Van couver. B. C., on November 19. Thev will go first to the Hawaiian Islands, thence to Japan, Uhina, the Philip pines and from there to Australia, where they expect to land on January 1. They wfll be back in the United States early in February, according to their present plana. T HE theory that the ball dub 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. j At the start of the season, great) things were expected of the Yank 4 ' 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 s«ome radical moves. He has been trying to get possession of youngsters who would help him j in adding to his reputation as a great i manager. Joe Tinker has discovered that you j must possess something in the way of j good nail players if you are to gd I anywhere. His experience as a short- ; stop and his ability to field and hit l did him a world of good as a player, i But they didn't bring him success is 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 hunch of .300 hitters. • * * Q.4//J Harry Thaw to Muggsy Mr- Grate. “Who wax it landed on your jaw?” $aid Muggxy McGrow to Horry Thaw. “I'm not tike you.

But from present prospects that is about what the fans who attend the world 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 Connie Mack and his men seemed to be on the rtin. 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.

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. Louis* club. Mrs. John T. Brusrl owns the controlling stock in % New York and Mrs. William Locke is* owner of the Philadelphia club. Mrs. Britton was the fir 4 ! 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. 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.

IND., Auk. 29.—The Inal of the race horses quartered here for tli*- Mineral Springs .races, stopped by State troops tinder Governor Rals ton’s orders, were shipped out of Por ter to-day. The remainder of the fif teen-day race program was aban doned. and it was announced that no more attempts to hold races would bo made for at least two years. Two companies of^ troops were camped on the racing grounds under or lets to remain until ordered home by the Governor. The bout between Matty McCue and j Young Eppy, scheduled to take place | Monday, has been postponed until a i later date. * * * Leach Cross, who is in Vancouver at the present time, is simply wiki to take Freddie Welch’s place against*WiI- Ue Ritchie. As Cross is on the battle ground it would not be surprising to see the promoters put the “Fiarhting Den tist” on against the ehamoion in ease Welch can not fill the September 20 date. /-I GAMES WITH PELS TO-Dll \ ND now come the Pelicans. r\ The Crackers now are con fronted with the task of trim- ming the Tribe of Frank half a dozen times in three days, if they desire to remain in the running for first place, right up to the bitter series that will start when the Mobile Gulls detrain here next Tuesday. The two managers, Frank ami Smith, have very sensibly decided to make the twin bills of to-day and Saturday seven-inning affairs.' The Labor Day contests will lie separated by u recess for luncheon, one being played In the morning, so they, or course, will go the full route. Bu the two contests this afternoon will be conveniently abbreviated, and the first one will begin at 2: 15 o'clock, inspiring reasonable hopes of a warm dinner and a smile from Friend Wife upon reaching the domestic habitat after the last raucous cheer has sub sided over the bosky dells surround ing Ponce DeLeon. Joe Conzt Irnan and Gilbert Price probably will work in the two games this afternoon, and Manager Smith said this morning he expected Harry \V. Ichonce to be back in his accus tomed place in the line-up, his dam aged shin having improved a good deal since, yesterday.

Sunday, the New England League is , advocating a State referendum, and j as a test an ordinance has been in- I 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 the voters will at least be determined if .» vote is allowed. President Winsper. of the local New Bedford club, says , he believes if the question was sub- I mitted to a referendum in the State at the coming fall election it would carry throe to one in Massachusetts. ! The law under which prosecutions , for Sunday placing have been made is two centuries old. and advocates of the game say it is not-suited for pres ent conditions. WRANGLE OVER REFEREE. NEW YORK, Aug. 29. —There was ! a hitch to-day in the scheduled ter- j round bout to be fought September S between Frank Moran and A1 Palzer, heavyweights. Moran wanted Billy Roche as referee, but Palzer objected, declaring that unless Morwi agrees to another referee the fight will he callbd off. The Athletics romped away from the New York Yankees yesterday, swelling their lead a hWf length over the Cleve land Naps. * * * Visions of a new pitching record in baseball went by the board when Wal ter Johnson, of the Wasnington Sena tors, was beaten after winning fifteen straight games Collihs, of the Boston Red Sox, and Johnson pitched a gruel ing due! for eleven innings.

Second Baseman Cutshaw took thirteen chances. • • Manager Connie Mack, of the Athlet ics, says his team is now stronger than it was two years ago, and predicts that the Quakers will have no trouble in drubbing the Giants in the world’s se ries.

The next game will be played on Saturday. They will alt* mate be tween the two towns until either Thomasville or Vjrtdosta has won four out of the seven.
