J. Conzelman Is Air-Tight, While J. Pluvius Fails to Hit in Pinches
CRACKERS WIN TWICE, BET GAIN ONLY HALF A LAP

It was Lefty Wilson who got the
_ hit, too, which would ordinarily be
“T ~4u~ ?““i considered adding insult to batting
of credit for the two* QV ^ rncr <*
By 0. B. Keeler.
W HOEVER had that seven-in
nlng hunch deserves a fair
slice
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
J. 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 dornick, as s«et
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 w'as noth
ing else to it. The Pelicans amassed
one hit and a base on balls off Joe
in seven innings, the rest of the at-
average.
• • •
W ELCH ONCE and Nixon led the
boarders in their attack on the
lunch counter, each getting a pair of
hits, one of each brace being checked
to second. Nixon also distinguished
himself for bravery on the held of
battle by shopping 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 bunt and made a couple
of neat catches.
How to Get
Rid of Eczema
ii
1 T w’as
1 ever,
It v©u bruise your hand, you will
notice that a scat) forma, and when it
falls off new skin has formed. Did
salve do It? No! Skin is the tame
is muscle, bone, sinew, ligament. All
are made from the blood, from the
materials that your stomach and in-
ratines oonvert from food Into what
tve call blood. And this blood circulate
n the myriad of tiny blood vessels
n the skin Start from your stomach,
where blood materials begin, and it
avon’t be long before you are free of
eczema. Use S. S. S. for a short
inif, and not only will eczema dis
appear. but the entire blood will be
renewed.
There is one ingredient In S. S S.
which serves the active purpose of
simulating each cellular part of the
oody to the healthy, judicious selec
tor, of its own essential nutriment.
That is w hy it regenerates the blood
supply; why it has such a tremendous
nflue nee in overcoming eczema, rash,
dimples pnd all ski.’i afflictions.
(jet p bottle of S. S S. at nny drug
gtoiv. and you will not only feel bright
and energetic, but you will be the
picture of new life. S. S S. is pre
in the second game, how r -
that Nixon flashed th?
brightest ray he has emitted thua
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 Price 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
smail flurry in the first of the legiti
mixing 1 round,‘tapping Price for two
ifeties before succumbing.
T OTTING Up the achievements of
our various record-busting h

in nine games will give Harry the
mark.
Tommy Long boosted the total runs
mark a couple more, and now stands
spectacularly at 103.
* • *
C '' IVING 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 his gloved hand, and froze
the hall 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 garpe. 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 when it
looked as if the Pels might break
it up on Price in the second game.
Vive Sportsmanship!

D AILY feature: Mobile won.
Special feature: Mobile lost
half a lap, at that.
Cheering prospect: Coveleskie.
O UR tall and lanky friend, Slim
Love, may get a chance to
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 i 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 even break in Chatta
nooga. And the Gulls took thejiimp
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
“writing" articles for papers
around the circuits, especially
being featured during the world’s se
ries, is 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 tke National League,
bring out this information.
While nothing definite ha9 been
ruled by either the National Commis
sion or,Johnson or Lynch, as heads
of their league’s or members of the
National Commission, t;ie two high
moguls state that steps will be taken
to do away with the evil which has
brought rounds of criticism from rival
players, managers, magnates and even
the tribes.
Reading between the lines of Presi
dent Johnson’s letter there are two
ways in which the player will have to
ret me from the field of journaliinfi.
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 President Johnson,
ami 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 ne
was forced to withdraw’.
And President Lynch, too. fought
against the player-scribe. However.
Manager ' McGraw, of the Giants;
Christy Mathew'son 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 story 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 series with
the Naps two weeks ago. and was
so badly crippled that he could not
get back in the game.
Imagine Mack benching Jack Barry
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 "tailed'
Marquard for pitching a certain kind I
of a ball to Frank 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 Giants, and aided in their
defeat by the Athletics.
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 I
had one •'layer attacking the other
for this or that play, with the result
that several scraps were held in the
clubhouse after a game.
Reports, too, went the rounds tha*
the Red Sox players resented the
stories “written,” and caused a dis
turbance that the players were nag
ging continually this spring, and re
fused to aid the team play, which
brought them down from a world's
championship club to a fifth place
one.
Commission Is Supreme.
The National Commbeion is com
posed of Messrs. Johnson, Lynch and
i Herrmann, and is the supreme court
Letters From the
Two High Bossesj
Sporting Editor The Atlanta
Georgian and News: The cotnmis-
mis-'ion has tuken 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 ('hair-
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
vyorld's* series, w ill take up the
question of hall players writing
for the newspapers and covering
this series. lam not prepared to
say just what action w ill 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

Cross May Act as

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-*£
ceipf of an immediate understanding by.
Springer from both Pollock and Welsh ’
•hat they would appear Saturday mom - ‘
^ng at any place designated and post
their forfeits. Springer accordingly.^
gave them until Saturday noon. Welsh,
