J. Conzelman Is Air-Tight, While i. Pluvius Fails io Hit in Pinches
CRACKERS WIN TWICE, BET GAIN ONLV HALF A LAP
By 0. B. Keeler.
W HOEVER had that seven-in
ning hunch deserves a fair
slice of credit for the, two
ball games the Crackers wrenched
forcibly away from the dejected Peli
cans yesterday.
The scores don’t Indicate closeness.
5 to 0 and 6 to 2.
But In addition to the Pelicans, who
weren't particularly tough, there was
Jt Pluvius.
And Jupe always is a tough cus
tomer especially for the Crackers
It was the seven-inning hunch that
enabled Bill Smith's help to slip it
to the opposition and J. Pluvius at
the same time, thereby demonstrat
ing the advantage of pickling two
Pelicans with one dorniek, as set
forth in musty adage.
* * *
S O far as the opening combat is
concerned, the flowers go to Mr.
Joe Conzelman by acclamation, or
words to that effect.
' Joe was right, and there was noth
ing else to it. The Pelicans amassed
one hit and a base on balls off Joe

It was Lefty Wilson who got the
hit, too, which would ordinarily be
considered adding insult to batting

W ELCHONCE and Nixon led the
boarders in their attack on the
lunch counter, each getting a pair of
hits, one of *-.ich brace being checked
to second. Nixon also distinguished
himself for bravery on the fleld of
battle by s:opping a foul with his
face, the ball glancing from his bat
to the plate and bounding up vicious
ly. The plucky little outfielder was
laid out. but resumed play after some
emergency treatment and later beat
out a pretty hunt and made a couple
of neat catches.
* • •
I T was in the second game, how
ever, that Nixon flashed the
brightest ray he has emitted thus
far.
With two Pels on the way, the pow
erful Kyle walloped a terrific drive
to the foot of the Bull sign. The two
Pels counted, of course, but Nixon,
after a fine sprint to the Red Moun
tain, shot that pill, low, fast and on
the first hop, straight into Holland's
hands at third, and only a wild slide,
aided by Umps Pfenninger, saved
Kyle's life.
The throw, for distance, speed and
accuracy, hasn’t been equaled at
Ponce DeLeon this season.
* * •
H AVING wrapped up the first game
with neatness and dispatch, the
Crackers started out to make it two
straight and gain half a lap on the
Gulls, who couldn't win more than
one, because that was all they were
playing.
Gil Brice was opposed to Peddy, and
it was all over but the rain in the
second round. Five hits, notably a
double by Welchonce* and a regular
triple to the score board by Honest
Joe Dunn, cleaned up five runs.
Then Wally Smith, whose single
scored the last of the five, saw that
dusk and drizzle were closing in and
got himself nipped off first, as fol
lows:
Green to Yantz to Kraft to McDow
ell to Kraft to Erwin to Peddy to Er
win to Kraft.
That is all, except to add that Wally-
got back to first once during the
chase, set off for second again, and
finally fell on one ear from exhaus
tion and was tagged on the left ankle,
which was entangled in Kraft's collar
• • •
T HE Crackers had a hard time get-
ing out fast enough in the do
mestic section of the fourth, Dunn
and Price getting singles in spite of
themselves, and the Pels staged a
smail flurrv In the first of the legiti
mizing round, tapping Price for two
safeties before succumbing.
T ATTING up the achievements of
our various record-busting he
roes. we find Mr. Welchonce cutting
down the .ead of the Season's Hit
Record from fourteen to eleven, by
two regular punches and one fluker
of the Cinci variety. A dozen hits
in nine games will give Harry the
mark.
Tommy Long boosted the total runs
mark a couple more, and now stands
spectacularly at 103.
* * *
/"MVING the enemy his due. we de-
sire to mention a grand running
catch by Kyle of a long drive from
Bisland’s bat toward the fence in
left center Kyle went racing over,
stuck out higloved hand, and froze
the ball by the narrowest of human
margins.
The Pels also consented to allow
Manush to run tor Harry Welchonce
after he got a hit in the third inning
of the first game. This was not the
customary relief that takes a player
out of the game, but a matter of
courtesy by the enemy that permitted
Harry to return and punch out a
disastrous double in the later rounds.
Thanks, enemy.
We reciprocated later, letting Mr
Stevenson pedal for Yantz whefci it
looked as if the Pels might break
it up on Price in the second game.
Vive Sportsmanship!

CLASS TD-DAY
O UR tall and lanky friend. Slim
Love, may get a chance ter
break into the iron man class
In the double bill with the wretched
Pelicans this afternoon.
Manager Smith said this morning
that he was uncertain as to his pitch
ing lay-out for the pair of seven-in
ning games to-day, as Elliott Dent
needed a little more rest, as Bill saw
it, before starting up against the Gulls
in the final drive next week.
Bill said he was going to start Love
in the first game, and if the long boy
got along well and felt like it, he
probably would let him go right back
at the Pels in the afterpiece.
For the Pelicans, Glavenich and
“Dixie” Walker are slated to oper
ate.
As the situation now’ stands, it
looks as if the Crackers will have to
take four more games from the Pels
to stay in the running, if Mobile gets
as good as an ever, break in Chatta
nooga. And the. Gulls took the jump
game there yesterday.
A whale of a crowd is expected to
day and for the two games Labor
Day, one of which will be a morning
game, at 10:30 o’clock, the other being
played on the regular afternoon
schedule.

G RAFT for the ball players in
“w-ritlng” articles for papers
around the circuits, especially
being featured during the world’s se
ries, If to be wiped out by’ the Na
tional Commission. Letters received
from B. B, Johnson, president of the
American League, and T. J. Lynch,
president of the National League,
bring out this information.
While nothing definite has been
ruled by either the National Commis
sion or Johnson or Lynch, as heads
of their league’s or members of the
National Commission, tne two high
moguls state that steps will be taken
to do away with the evil which has
brought rounds of cHticism from rival
players, managers, magnates and even
the scribes
Reading between the lines of Presi
dent Johnson’s letter there are tw r o
ways in which the player will have to
retire from the fleld of journalism.
First: The National Commission
may rule prohibiting the athlete from
allowing their names to be used on
articles not written by themselves.
Second: The league presidents will
suggest to the magnates of the con
testing clubs preventing the players
from encroaching upon the field of
the legitimate scribes.
The first step to eliminate the play
er-scribe came last winter when it
was exposed that the players did not
write their articles. The names of
the real authors and the players were
brought before Pref»ident Johnson,
and he Immediately sent out a warn
ing in his league.
Johnson’s Command Obeyed.
President Johnson’s command was
obeyed and every American League
player had to refrain from “writing '
At that time Frank Chance intended
to join the field of “writers.” but when
he signed up with the Yankees he
"■as forced to withdraw*.
And President Lynch, too. fought
against the player-scribe. However.
Manager McGraw, of the Giants.
Christy Mathew^n and a few other
continue collecting from syndicates,
although they do not write their ow:.
stories.
That it is foolish to allow the
player to become a scribe is gleaned
from the following paragraph, which
appeared in McGraw’s srtory* this
w eek:
Men who have been considered
steady veterans have gone all
off their normal form. Barry
was taken out of the game last
week because he was going bad
ly. and Barry was considered to
be one of the infield mainstays.
“Connie” Mack put Oldring, a
regular outfielder for the last
several seasons, at shortstop, and
he seems to be handling the job
in pretty good shape. The crack
ing of his veterans is what wor
ries a manager.
McGraw says that Barry wa?
benched because he fell off in his
playing, when the truth is that Barry
was badly Injured in a aeries with
the Naps two week9 ago, and was
so badly crippled that he could not
get back in the game.
Imagine Mark benching Jack Barrv
when he is physically fit to parade
around short and use Oldring In that
position!
Matty's Story Caused Trouble.
In the 1911 world’s series, an article
“written” by Mathewson "called
Marquard for pitching a certain kind
of a ball to FTank Baker, who got a
home run that won the game. Then,
on the next day. Mathewson pitched,
and Baker also found "Big Six" for a
home run.
These stories, according to reports
in the East, caused trouble in the
ranks of the Giantn. and aided in their
defeat by the Athleths
Then last fall, the Red Sox. ap
pearing in the world’s series, had sev
eral members "writing" articles. The
scribes did not weigh their words, but
had one ’-‘layer attacking the other
for this or that play, with the result
that several scraps were held in the
clubhouMe after a game.
Reports, too, went the rounds tlta*
the Red Sox players resented the
stories "writt*-V and caused a dis
turbance that tb% payers were nag
ging continue 1y this spring and re
fused to aid the team pJpLV. w'MdTi

Letters From the
Two High Bosses;
Sporting Editor The Atlanta
Georgian and News: The eoinmia-
miVHion has taken no formal ac
tion in regard to players writing
for the papers. As president of the
American League I have taken the
subject up with our club owners,
and insisted that this practice be
stopped. The commission is wait
ing on Joe Jackson, the president
of the Baseball Writers’ Associa
tion. He promised to write Chair
man Herrmann on this matter and
request that some action be taken.
It is our purpose, however, to
"stamp out" the evil, and some
thing will be done at the next
meeting of the commission. Sin
cerely yours, B. B. JOHNSON.
• * •
Sporting Editor The Atlanta
Georgian and News: There is no
question but what the commission,
at its meeting to arrange for the
world’s series, will take up the
question of ball players writing
for the newspapers and covering
this series. I am not prepared to
say just what action will be taken
by the commission to put a stop to
this practice, but the commission
is unanimous in its opinion that
such articles should be handled
by the newspaper scribes them
selves. Yours truly,
T. J. LYNCH.

Commission Is Supreme.
The National Commission is com
posed of Messrs. Johnson. Lynch and
Herrmann, and is the supreme court
of baseball. What they say goes.
And If Mr. B. B. Johnson writes
that "it is our purpose to stamp out
the evil” then the players’ graft of be
coming scribes is at an end.
Cross May Act as
Substitute for Welsh
Against Champion
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA,
Aug. 30.—Unable to get Pollock, mana
ger for Welsh, down to business regard
ing the arrangements for the fight
scheduled for September 20, Hugh
Springer, head of the local fight syndi
cate, to-day notified the English cham
pion that the promoters now proposed
to open negotiations with Leach Cross
when the “fighting dentist” comes to
town to-morrow, and put him in as an
opponent for Ritchie, instead of Welsh.
This threat had the effect of the re
ceipt of an immediate understanding by
Springer from both Pollock and Welsh
’hat they would appear Saturday morn
ing at any place designated and post
their forfeits. Springer accordingly
gave them until Saturday noon. Welsh
seemed to be able to convince Springer
that he was getting in good shape and
would have no complaint three weeks
from to-day that he was not ready to
fight.
