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.

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.

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! A bas Piking. * * • 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 selves. Yours truly, T. J. LYNCH. 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-*£ 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, 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.
