6 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 Big Series for Georgian To-day the Crackers battle the Gulls at Poncy Park. To morrow, Thursday and Friday the same teams meet. The Gulls are in ftrst place this morning, with the Crackers only three games behind. It is the crucial series of the season. The Crackers have a chance to win the pennant. This series will decide the long race which started last April. The Georgian will be represented at this series by the great est collection of experts in the South. Every little detail of the game will be printed in The Georgian. Among those who will “cover” this series for The Georgian are: % BILLY SMITH, the Cracker manager, fhe man who brought a rank tail-ender of 1912 up to the top. JOE AGLER, the corking first baseman, who. has besn bought by Jersey City, but who will be with the Yankees next season. LOU CASTRO, former Cracker, who knows “inside” ball better than any other man in the South. 0. B. KEELER, The Georgian’s baseball expert, who writes the breeziest articles of any critic in the South. W. S. FARNSWORTH, Sporting Editor of The Georgian, who for six years traveled with the Red Sox, Yankees, Giants and Dodgers. FUZZY WOODRUFF, known by every fan in the Southern League, who has a wonderful style all of his own. INNIS BROWN, former Vanderbilt hero, who personally knows every member of the Gulls and Crackers.

FOSTER SIGNS CONTRACT. BOSTON, Sept, 2—George Foster, a pitcher, has the distinction of being the first j»layer to sign with the Boston Americans for 1914 on a on*-vear con tract. Foster wrenched his knee sev eral weeks ago. and as the injury con tinues to trouble him he decided to re turn to his home in Bonanza. Ark. Be fore leaving he was signed foi next year. PELKY AFTER JOHNSON. LOS ANGELES. Sept 2 -Juat prior to leaving for his home in Detroit. Ar thur Pelky, heaweight battler, an- , nounced through his manager that he •would try to get a fight with Ja Johnson in Paris. 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. HERMAN BEATS COULON. MEMPHIS, TRNN., Sept. 1—“Kid“ Herman, ‘f New Orleans, was awarded the decision over Eddie Coulon, also of New Orleans, at the end of an elgh.- round bout Lore last night.

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: Southern Championship. HEATS 1 MILE, FINAL 2 MILES.

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.

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. Hooray!
