\ * THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. THE ASSASSIN By Tad Copyright, 1913, International News Service. SILK HAT HARRY’S DIVORCE SUIT rrmunT.iiiiiii nmiiiinr--— — "VTOT that Finn’s men quit. They did not quit, or show any signs of quitting. If anything, they uuid. more fuss in the field than we xlid, and they were fighting all the way. But while we are charged with more Jump Game Is Good One io Win —Especially When You Have io Win It CRACKERS PLAN BOLDLY FOR NEXT THREE GAMES By 0. B. Keeler. A ND still we have no u^e for that Cold Gray Dawn of the Morn ing After thing. To-morrow, now— But we'li just keep it in type and go ahead with the gloat, and even hazard a bit of dope as to the doings this afternoon. But no predictions, mind you. • • • 1J ERE we are. then, one up and 1 1 three to go. with Elliott Dent slated to face the Gulls in the second game and Joe Conzelman to simmer gently in the Warming Pan through out the entire performance. Unlose—this is understood—unless, of course the services of Mr. Con- ze’man shall be required where the spot-light plays its beams. But that is an Emergency. And (of course) Mr. Conzelman’. 1 -' gentle sim- merings must be viewed in that light. * • * r'HAPMAN will be back of the wood ^ again, and that, with an extra Fupply of eating-tobacco, will cons’i tute Bill Smith's changes for the sec- I ond game of the all-important series The Little Napoleon—the boys call him that—is not chirping or hopping about and singing in the sunshine. Not yet. lie is eating tobacco pro fusely. Saying nothing and eating tobacco. • * • AS to what Mr Mique Finn plans * * to do, that is something else again. Mr. Finn says, in a general way. that he is going to win a ball game presently. He does not particularize as to the method* but it is under stood that Mr. Finn will adopt one of the following plans: (1) Either he will have the Gullr acquire more runs than the Crack- t.f. or (2) he will have the Gulls hold the Crackers to fewer runs than the Gulls. Both methods have been used with ■ iich success in major a:< well as in — lirar league baseball. DUT right here a proposition con- LJ fronts the genial Mr Finn. If he decides to adopt either of the foregoing scheme*, what dealer will he call on to stack the cards? • • • A T some risk of redundancy, or tau tology. or something, we mua: remark that. too. is something els again. Mr. Finn himself admits that he i* rather in the dark, and prefers to sec his alleged help warmed up befoic making a pick for the second game By the process of elimination, much affected by Socrates. Pluto and Sher lock Holmes, we deduce that the next offering will not be Pug Cavet. who pitched yesterday. It is not likelv to be either Hogg or Campbell, both of whom got their lickings Labor Day. This resolves the count to Heine Berger and the other Robertson. Mr. Finn can pick petals off a sun- 'lo.wr for the choice. • * * T3 FSM'MING the gloat, we got by pretty neatly in that opening en- ter. to tb« unadulterated joy of N about 7,000 fans—the largest week day crowd of the season. • • • OT that the ball game, per se— that is to say, of its own mo tion—was anything of an unparal leled achievement, glorious as was the general result. There were several reasons why that game didn’t cause us to pass on by reason of apoplexy, one of the rea sons being lack of a short, thick neck. There were traces of stage-fright breaking out all through tlu combat, and the only tiling that prevented some wild scoring was the uniformly close pitching, coupled with the fact that the dumb work showed itself as much on tne ba*«es as in the field. • • • Y7HILK frequently in dang< r. Price w;ts very effective, and only a raw bobble in the ninth enabled the enemy to break into the “It” column. It was Gil’s help that caused him mns; of the trouble, all along, to igfaet which the Gulls helped him out b> W giving way to a mad desire to hit the first ball on all occasions. if the Crackers stuttered more in the field, the Gulls showed poor judg ment in their attack, and it may b seen from the box score just how feeble that attack finally panned ou» The mighty Robertson failed to get a hit. while his rival, Welchonce, ac quired a single and a base on balls in four times up • • • T HE little hitting the Finns were able to do was sparsely scattered, too, never more than one hit coming in the same inning. The Crackers, on the other hand, bunched seven of their eight blows in the >4xth and seventh innings, when all their scor ing was done. Agler’s sounding triple in the seventh scored two runs, on the bases by a hit and an error of judgment by Stock which gave Chapma i credit for a blow of the Cincinnati or fluke variety. Joe mixed the enemy up in the sixth, too. when, with Price on, he laid down a neat bunt on the third strike and legged it out fur a hit while Schmidt and Cavet collided over the pill. * * * C CM MING up results, and restraln- v - 5 ing boastful chortles until a later date—-if at all—we note the follow ing: The Crackers require just three more games from the Gulls. Cavet pitched pretty well, consid ering ne had one lamp in a sling. The “Jump game” is a good one to win—particularly when you have to win it or fall entirely through. Gil Price showed a fine quality of courage, particularly when the bases were full of Gulls in the third, with only one out. The latest reports had Bill Smith resting easily. Ditto—Mique Finn smiling. * * * P ROGRAM for the rest of the series: To-day—Elliott Dent. Thursday—Carl Thompson. Friday—Gil Price—right back at ’em. BASEBALL SUMMARY STANDING OF THE CLUBS.

I know all of our boys were feeling it. Speaking for myself, I know it was all I could do to look over old Pug Cavet carefully when I was at bat, Ind not give way to a crazy desire to swing like a garden gate at. everything he wheeled up—for, as I said before. Pug hap some stuff yes terday, in spite of the patch on his eye. * * • A ND right there was where the Gulls played into Price’s hand. Gil had it on them, anyway, an 1 I am sure he would have beaten them at any game they tried. But you could tell the Gulls were nervous by the way they kept tearing in and trying to murder the first ball pitched them. Gil saw right off how eager they were, and he fed them bad ones—and yo t saw how they were popping them up and fouling out and rolling easy grounders at us. * * * OW, about the rest of these games. We all realize just exactly what we are up against. I don’t suppose the bes + fan in Atlanta has figured over our chances any harder than every fellow on the club. A FTER the last game with New Or leans, when we had heard that the Gulls Jose the afternoon game, and knew for the first time we had a chance to win the pennant—I tell you, fans, It was a queer kind of sight in that old clubhouse. The boys were mighty solemn about it. They knew’ what they were up against. But we shook hands all around and we made a sort of promise that we’d every one give the best we had in the shon to this next series, and win if we could, and lose fighting all the way if we couldn’t. AFTER the game yesterday, the ** bunch had another little round up in the clubhouse, and they were a shade more cheerful. Not that we feel that three games in a row aren’t just about as tough as four to win, when you have to win every one. But we felt we*had ope of Mobile’s best pitchers—probably their best — out of the way. And then we felt that we had them on the run. 1 can’t tell just how that feeling is, b ! :t it comes over you once in a while— and when it does, your team wijl be going great guns, first thing you know. • * • W E aren’t bragging any. mind you. But we are just determined to put up all the fight there is in us to beat Mobile the res»t of the series. And I believe I can promise those same Gulls that, win or lose, they will know they have been in a fight for the pennant of 1813 Wolgast May Quit Ring To Be Farmer SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. 3.—The obituary of Ad Wolgast. former light weight champion, is written on all the sporting pages with the record of his defeat at Oakland by Joe Azavedo, a green and nervous youngster who won the decision at the end of ten rounds. “What’s the use of going any fur ther?” asks Wolgast to-day. “I don’t need to box for a living. I don’t like these short fights, and I would rather quit altogether than spend my time training and boxing abound like a side show man.” He addled that he was thinking of returning to his Oregon ranch and settling down as a farmer Wolgast fought a characteristic battle, but was wild. His blows lacked the old sting. Thomasville Beats Valdosta: Series Tied Coombs Sick Again; Out for Season PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 3.—Pitcher Jack Coombs has had a recurrence of his old trouble and to-day was forced to return to bed. Manager Mack and the club physician announced that the twirler will be unable to don a uni form again this season. AGOGAS TEAM WINS. The Agogas team triumphed over Wesley. 9 to 2, yesterday. The win ners scored three runs in the first in ning and practically put the game on ice. York was on the slab for Agogas. with Lewis catching. while W. Thom'as did the slab duty for Wesley. Crosley was on the receiving end. THOMASVILLE, GA.. Sept. 3.— Thomasville and Valdosta are now on an even standing In their fight for the Empire State League pennant. Thom asville took yesterday’s game, 5 to 0. Both teams have now won two games. Roth, on the mound for the locals, hurled the best game of his career. Ho held Jordan’s men down to two scat tered Kits and was master of the sit uation at all times. Hawkins and Zellars were hit hard by the winners. The former was knocked out of the box in the third inning.
