TTTT: ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS.
Any Way You Look at It, Mutt Shows Rare Judgment at Times
By “Bud” Fisher
Bv Allen Sangree.
N Ew'yORK. Sept. 2.—"Thi.- will
be the hardest fought world's
series that the country has ever
seen." observed the long-legged, .silent
Cornelius MacGilllcuddy, the other
night at the hotel where his club puts
up in New York.
Mack is as talkative as a crutch.
The only way Friend Writer could
get him started was by remarking
that the Giants will cop this 1913
pennant through superior pitching.
"I have some young pitchers who
will give the Giants a tussle.” broke
open the silent Irishman, “and they
are Brown, Shaw key, Houck and
Bush. Now, mind you, l am going to
have in this world's series two old-
timers. Plank and the Indian. Bender.
These* veterans took part in the first
battle that I had with McGraw, also
the second, and they are going to be
features in this series, providing Mc
Graw and I win out in our respective
leagues.”
‘‘I realize that McGraw’s Hub is
stronger than it was in 1911.” con
tinued the Philadelphia strategist,
“and I can see that my men have a
battle ahead of them
Depends on “Brsak of Luck.”
‘‘No. I won’t say that the Athletics
will outhit New York. I suppose a
good deal will depend upon the break
of luck. Now, I want to tell you
about the first time my club bumped
up against New York. You can draw
your own conclusions. No manager
Is going to knock an opposing Hub in
a world's series, nor is he going to
alibi. But here were the facts in
1905:
‘‘I had Topsv Hartsel, Lord and
‘Socks' Seybold in the outfield and
the Cross brothers, Danny Murphy
and Harry Davis in the infield. I
will say that all those boys were
worn out when we tackled the Giants.
Why, just imagine, we won the cham
pionship of the American league on y
one day before the season closed.
“Of course, I figured on pitching
Rube Waddell in the gartie and that
erratic southpaw threw me dow n. The
ball plavers were all bustng up one
another's strawr hats. Rube, who
could outbox anybody on the Hub,
broke half a dozen hats and then a
certain member of the club soaked
Rube with a uniform bag It injured
the southpaw’s arm. That is the
truth, so far aw Waddell's failure to
appear in the 1905 series Is concerned.
Mathewum shut us out three
games in that series and McGinnity
did it once. Bender also shut out the
Giants, and I don’t mind predicting
that he is just as good now a.*-* he was
then. Plank’s games were 1-0 and
3-0. I had great pitching in that 1905
seriee, but Waddell's absence handi
capped me.
Outplayed Giants in 1911.
“Well, you want to hear something
about the contest in 1911? Say, I
don’t see what the American public
cares to know about the inside sduff
on that. We outplayed the Giants in
every department.
“The experts thought my Hub
would fall down In the catching end.
Say. Thomas and Lapp both caught
excellent ball, and I have a youngsicr
now. this Schang. who will deliver
the goods, no worry.
“No, neither Danny Murphy nor
Harry Davis will get into this corn
ing series, but they will be there
with some timely advice. My Hub
fought the Giants in a disabled con
dition in their firs* battles. They
were right in 1911, and. although It is
doubtful whether Coombs can come
back. 1 will have a well-conditioned
club to fight this yeai
“McGraw’s club looks so much bet
ter than U did in 1911. that if I were
a betting man I would say that it is
an even wager between these two
clubs, always supposing that each
cops the pennant.”
Bill Smith, Joe Agler and
Other Experts Will Cover

being started.”

to the other vessel, whether she shall
complete the course within the time
limit or not.

of the other’s vessel and will remain
on the other yacht during the races.
The measurements will be made at
least a week prior to the first race.

position for inspection of marks or
remeasurement as above described.
A measurement taken, as provided
above, shall be final and not be sub
jected to protest by either party.”
Most of the other conditions refer
to what the yachts shall carry.
The Shamrock IV will be the chal
lenger's vessel. The New York Yacht

Ninth-Inning Rally Wins Again
+•+ +•+ +•+
W. Smith’s Pants Get Pinch Hit
ne
F OR once in the history of base
ball, the opposing pitcher
‘ posed as a pinch hitter for
the enemy. And it was with two
gone in the last of the ninth, the
bases full, and the score a tie that
Friend Peddy of the Pels touched
off a roaring crowd of ten thousand
persons with the Pinch Hlt that
gave the Crackers the game, and the
right to win the 1913 pennant—if they
could lick the Guile four games In
a row.
Mr. Peddy was the pinch hitter,
as remarked above. Mr. Wally Smith
was the pinch hittee. And the Pinch
Hit landed on the hittee a few de~
grees below where he would have
buttoned his Muspendera, if he had
been wearing suspenders.
Ordinarily, truu kind of a Pinch Hit
does not arouse any violent enthu
siasm. Hut at this particular junc
ture a home run over the whisky
^ign wouldn’t have caused any more
of an explosion and wouldn't have
won the game a bit more effectually.
Wherefore, if Mr. Smith finds him
self more comfortable standing, Mr.
Smith has the bairn »»f heroism to
apply to his personal feelings. And
.9 to his anatomy—well, that prob
ably will recover, all by itself.

T HE morning game having gone the
way of ill good ball games--
i. e., to the home team—and Mobile
having duly lost, ten thousand fans
shoe-horned themselves into Ponc»
DeLeon Park for the matinee encoun
ter.
It was worth the process.
• * •
poNZELMAN and Peddy were the
licensed operators, and Joe haJ
it all over his rival, right up to the
last frame. The Crackers were lend
ing. 3 to 1, when that session started,
and the bug* were crawling down to
ward the exits, not fie-uring the fin
ishing touches would be particularly
affecting.
They had a bum hunch.
• • •
A | DOWELL, first up. got a base on
balls That didn't I«ok very aw
ful, and Kraft was an easy out.
But right there something hap
pened. •
A Mr. Hendryx, who had been de
ceptively docile all day long, suddenly
became violently insane, and when
Harry Welchonce and Nixon we*s
through chasing down the evidences
of his aberration, Mr. Hendryx was on
third, yelling that he would scuttle
the ship rather than return to Mat-
teawan. and Mr. McDowell was rep
resented by a large black dot on the
scorebooks.
• * •
\X71ULE this untoward matter was
forward, we happened to be on
the Crackers' bench, and a cage full
of starving tiger* would have been
quiet and contented by contract.
If the Wild Man from Borneo had
caught a glimpse of Bill Smith, he
would have blown his brains out. on#
by one, for sheer envy.
Kyle managed to hit a sacrifice fly,
and then Green fanned, Conzelman’i
big drop making him look idiotic for
the third time that afternoon.
• • •
B UT it lacked a lot of being calm
and serene in the CracksrU cage
Darkness was approaching and a lot
of ixirch-climbers in the bleachers—
the kind that cause forfeited games
in Philadelphia and elsewhere—were
throwing cushions.
B.ll Smith was throwing fits, for his
part, but he wasn’t throwtng them
out on the field, so they didn’t clutter
up the game.
• * •
‘T'HKN, with another ninth inning
1 outburst of fury, we put it over
Chapman singled and Conzelman
put him down. Agler walked, but
Tommy Longs sharp grounder got
them only as far as second and third.
Welchonce was passed with two down,
and then Mr. Smith stood valiantly in
tiie way of a fast one. which stopped
at the bosom of his pants.

T HE motordrome track record for
two miles was broken twice
last night by the terrific rid
ing of “Tex” Richards and Morty
Graves, who circled the saucer at
the fearful clip of 88 miles an hour.
“Tex” was the first to smash the
mark, when he won the final heat of
the Southern championship race in
1:23. Then a few’ minutes later,
Graves, riding the second heat of the
special match race with Richards,
spun off the eight laps in 1:22.
Both races were wildly received
by the big crowd that marked the
Labor Day attendance, and. in fact,
all the races were excellent and
marked by fast time and hard rid
ing.
Renel, the French rider, scored 22
points in the Labor Day sweepstakes
and was awarded the race, the scor
ing being under the French system.
Richards won the Australian pursuit
race, which was an exciting affair.
Following is a summary of the
events:

Barrieau Surprises
Cross; Leach Held
To 12-Round Draw
VANCOUVER. BRITISH COLUMBIA,
Sept. 2.—Overconfidence nearly cost
Leach Croea. the New York lightweight,
a fight yesterday with Frank Barrieau,
a local fighter.
Cross went into the ring for the
twelve-round bout expecting to have an
easy time of it. Barrieau showed un
expected form and during the early
rounds literally swept the New Yorker
off his feet. Cross came back when Bar
rieau had grown a bit tired, and did
some fighting that earned him a draw,
although the newspapers’ thought the
decision should have gone to Barrieau.
Conley Wins Decision
Over Olliver Kirk
FORT SMITH, ARK., Sept. 2.—
Frank C. Conley, former bantamweight
champion, was given the newspaper de-
cieion over Olliver Kirk, of St. Louie, at
the end of & ten-round bout here yes
terday. Kirk’s right hand, which he in
jured in a recent bout, was put out of
commission again yesterday in the third
round.
Conley announced that he would en

CHICK EVANS
By Chick Evans.
P AUL HUNTER, as every one
knows, gladdened the hearts of
his friends by winning the Lake
Geneva tournament and many of the
adjuncts thereto. We were not pleased
because he defeated some of our other
friends, but because he plays such de
serving golf and has had so much
undeserved bad luck. It seemed high
time that such good playing should
meet Its just deserts.
Paul Hunter comes of a strong
golfing family. His mother is much
interested in his game. His father, C.
L. Hunter, is a very good player him
self, and his cousin. Robert Hunter,
is a player of the highest class, who,
unfortunately, has not been seen on
local links this year. It appears that
a certain facility in golf playing runs
in families, most notable examples, in
addition to the Hunters, being the
Gardners and the Edwards.
Paul, who is almost exactly my age,
has played golf since his earliest
childhood, and for years has been con
sidered one of our very best players.
Long before I began to play in public
I saw picturen of Paul Hunter, a very
small lad, with a golf club in his hand,
in newspapers and golf magazines.
He did marvelous things in those days
and is still doing them. He plays in
perfect form, a fine, free, wide open,
easy style, and commands one of the
longest iron shots 1 ever saw played.
He is a strong, big fellow as golfers
go. and gets his strength into the ball
to the fullest advantage.
He seems to play, however, in the
most exasperating hard luck. When
he loses' it is almost always by the
narrowest of margins, and almost al
ways there is some rather spectacular
bit of misfortune connected with his
defeats.
For that ieason a9 well as many
others, I am sure that no one grudges
Paul his “clean-up” at Lake Geneva,
least of all, that good sportsman, Ken
neth Edwards, the runner-up of the
event.
