PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 30.—Umpire
Brennan to-day forfeited the game
between the Giants and the Phillies to
the former In an extraordinary de
cision, which nearly resulted In a
riot at the Quakers’ ’'ark.
The game was called in the ninth
after the first batsman to face Chal
mers ha been retired and the score !
8 to 6 in favor of the Phillies. Th^
umpire based his action upon the fact
that a part of the crow T d In the w r ell- j
filled bleachers had broken the rope
separating them from the small part
of the stands directly facing the homa
plate, which is spaced off a ien the
bleacher crowd is light.
When Brennan announced that the
game had been forfeited to New York,
9 to 0, the din was so great that a
majority of the fans did not hear
him. As the players walked off the
field the crowd became aware of the
decision and opened up wdth a fusil
lade of cushions at Brennan. Police
men surrounded him and escorted the
arbiter to the umpires’ dressing room.
Brennan later declared that wnen
the crowd took possession of the va
cant seats in the bleachers they
waved papers at him so he could n3t
Judge balls and strikes.
“I asked the management to remove
them, but Manager Dooin refused,
and all there was for me to do was io
forfeit the game,” declared Brennan.

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 30.—Charley Flan-
agan. the “Lajoie the second” of the
Pacific Coast, whose release cost the
Browns $3,500, has received his ten
days’ notice. That means that unless
the club management is able to sell
his release to some other club Flana
gan will be free at the end of the next
ten days to oign with whatever club
cares to take him, or re-enlist. in Un
cle Sam's navy.
Flanagan was a tar aboard the
good ship Iris. This cruiser was sta
tioned at San Diego. Cal., and by a
special agreement Charles played on
the days when the San Diego (South
ern California League) team was at
home. He did not make the road
trips with the club.
He hit well in that company and
Dick Cooley, manager of the club,
sent broadcast notices of Flanagan's
great ability as a ball tosser. Hitting
was his forte and he was hailed as
“Lajoie the second.” Cooley demand
ed $4,000 for the player.
The Browns needed hitters and
were eager to grab him. An option
was asked to enable a scout to look
ov-*r him. But Cooley insisted on an
immediate deal, and finally accepted
$3,500 for the “Steamboat.”

Baseman Homer of the Henderson

is expected to close the deal in a few
days.
THOM A SVILLE, GA., Aug. 30.—
Valdosta took the second game of the
post-season series from Thomasville
this afternoon, score 5 to 2. Van-
Landingham, first man up. started
with a home run over center field
fence, and from that time until the
end of nine rounds the Valdosta crew
pounded Day hard and consistently,
getting safe hits in every inning ex
cept one.
The game was replete with fast,
snappy fielding and terrific clouting
by both clubs. Hurley’s one-handed
stab of Murch’s liner, completing a
double, and \^ r alker’s good work in
the pinches gave a touch of spice to
the contest. The Thomasville team
was outclassed and outplayed at every
stage of the game. The box score:

Joe Bean Likely to
Land Job at Athens
Will Probably be Signed as General
Manager of Athletic
Affairs.
ATHENS. GA.. Aug. 30.—Since the
resignation of Charlie Wahoo the po
sition that he was to have filled as
general manager of the athletic af
fairs and assistant coach at Georgia
has been vacant. It l.s now rumored
here that Joe Bean, formerly of Mar-
l-'t College, will be offered the place.
The Atlanta alunTnl have suggested
Bean as* they are acquainted with his
ability as a trainer and manager and
that is what Georgia wants.
Thr local authorities have done ab
solutely nothing toward securing
Bean, hut it is understood that he
would consider the proposition and
manv Georgia backers are recom
mending him.
If Bean or any other assistant Is
secured it will not affect the assist
ance of Ketrort and Captain Peacock,
of last year’s team, who are to assist
Cunningham this fall.

BOUT WITH EDDIE CAMPI
LOS ANGELES. CAL., Aug. 30.—
Promoter McCarey wired Johnny
! Coulon to-day offering the bantam
j champion a guarantee of $3,000 and
two round trip tickets to come here
I and box Eddie Campi in October.
! Campi already has accepted terms
and the promoter is confident the
champion will consent to meet the
Ban Francisco boy.
By O. B. Koeler.
T HE sun was just about setting yesterday afternoon when the
Crackers’ jinx split right up the back and the red, raw Genius
of Courage peeked out at the startled Pelicans.’
Ten seconds later the Crackers were savagely tearing what had
looked to be a wrecked and ruined ball game from the twittering
Pels, and a huge crowd, held under wraps all through a tough after
noon, was glutting its pent-up lust for blood to an accompaniment
of resounding base hits.
And before it was over, Bill Smith and his hired men once more
had fastened their grim clutch on the old Fighting Chance—all that
remains to the pennant chase of
1913.
It was the finest flash of game
ness and Never-Quit the season
has produced. And no matter
what may happen in the remain
ing struggle, six thousand At
lanta fans stand ready, now
and forevermore, to vouch for
the courage and gameness of the
Crackers of 1913.
No ball club with an ounce of quit
In its system ever could have flashed
up from behind and smashed its way
to the wire as the Crackers did yes
terday.
Blew in the First.
To begin with, the first game went
properly to pot, and no mistake.
There was a guy named Stevenson
operating for the Pels, and he had no
kind of license to win. All he had
was a glove, a roundhouse curve and
a willing disposition.
Mr. Stevenson’s stuff looked too
easy, in fact There probably ar§
some lame back? in the Cracker camp
to-day, from swinging at the wide
ones.
But in Humming up what Mr. Ste- hard wo rk-out yesterday, but he wag
getting along fairly well.
Mr. Glavenlch, for his part, ran thd
gamut—whatever that is. First hi
was wMld and spotted us a run in tho
second by walking four Crackers.
Then he was steady and began fan*
nlng our boys a la Coveleskie. Thefi
we began to hit him—the opposition
having us two down at the time. And
then *
But let’s start a new chapter lq
t’onzelman, hero of the day before
w'as thrust Into the campaign.
One solid nmack and a resultant run
greeted Mr. Conzelman, and after that
the Pels had as much show to make
a run as they had to win the pennant
But the mischief was done. You
can chrrge it to Slim Love, or Joe Ag-
leg, or Rlvingston Bisland—all of them
had a hand in the damage. Or you
can Just say—which probably would
be squares-that the Town Boys, aft
er winning eight game? in a row, all
under terrific pressure, came apart
at the scams In that one Inning, and
blew' it
A Wasted Homer.
They blew it, all right. And then, in
the seventh, four runs to the fritz and
with two hands out, Tommy Long
served notice of w r hat was to happen
In the latter garre.
Tommy walloped a drive to center
for four bases scoring Agler ahead of
him.
But that w r as all, and the score was
7 to 5.
Then came the almost tragic after-
math.
Gil Price was sentenced to pitch
against a Scandinavian labeled Glave-
r;ich Gil wasn’t himself after hi!
venson had and had not, Mr. Love
must perforce be mentioned—men
tioned gently, as It were, and more in
sorrow than In malediction.
Mr. Love Got His.
What Mr. Love had is not at all
certain, but there is no doubt as to
what Mr. Love got in the fifth Inning.
Five hits, most of them honest ones,
were bunched with some inspired
mis-inflelding and a string of infer
nally contrived situation^ the *«me
giving rise to five runs \efure Mr.
