SILK HAT HARRY’S DIVORCE SUIT Crackers Not Boasting, but Ready to Put Up All the Fight They Have JOE AGLER TELLS HOW TEAM FEELS ABOUT TASK (VE.V{C77M > v\ p, y -.uvE HOWEVER/ W HILE it Isn’t exactly the tirre for lotting off a lot of h"t air, I want to say that the Crackers licked the Gulls in the “Jump game” yesterday. and licked them good and plenty. It wasn’t so much that we beat “Pug” Cavet, with one eye out of whack—though, goodness knows, Pug didn’t need any pity, at that. But I can’t help feeling that we r.ut- gamed the Gulls in the first contest. t * * ’M’ OT that Finn’s men quit. They did not quit, or show any signs of quitting. If anything, they made more fuss in the field than we did, and they were fighting all the way. But while we are charged with more Jump Game Is Good One to Win —Especially When You Have to Win It CRACKERS PLAN BOLDLV FOR NEXT THREE GAMES Bv 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’ll 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. • • • I_1 ERE we are, then, one up and * 1 three to go, with Elliott Dent slated to face the Gulls in the second game and Joe Conxelman to simmer gently in the Warming Pan through out the entire performance. Unless—this Is understood—unless, of course the services of Mr. Con- zelman shall be required where the spot -1 igh t plays its beams. But that is an Emergency. And (of course) Mr. Conzelman’s* gentle sim- merings must he viewed in that light. * * • r'HAPMAN will be back of the wood again, and that, with an extra supply of eating-tobacco, will cons.i tute Bill Smith’s changes for the sec 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. He is eating tobacco pro fusely. Saying nothing and eating tobacco. * • * A S to what Mr Mique Finn plans ** to do, that is something else again. Mr. Finn says, in a general way. that h»- is going to win a ball game presently. He docs 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 Guile* acquire more runs than the Track ers. or (2) he will have the Gulls hold the Trackers to fewer runs than the Gulls. Both methods have been used wit It much success in major as well as in minor league baseball. • * • T> UT right here a proposition con- U fronts the genial Mr Finn. If lie decides to adopt either of the foregoing schemes, what dealer will he call on to stack the cards? • • • A T s*ime risk of redundancy, or tau- tology. or something, we must remark that, too, is something else again. Mr. Finn himself admits that he is rather in the dark, end prefers to see his alleged help wanned up befoiv making a pick for the >ed»nd 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 l*» not likelv to be either Hogg or Tampbell, both of w hom got their lickings ^abor Day. This resolves the count to Heine Berger and the other Robertson. Mr. Finn - an pick petals off a sun flower for the choice. • * • D KSl’MINd th< gloat, we got by pretty neatly in that opening en counter. to the unadulterated joy of about 7,000 fans—the largest week day crowd of the season. ♦ * • VT OT tHut the ball game, per »e ^ that is to say, of its own mo tion—was anything of an unparal leled achievement, glorious as was tin* general result. There were several reasons why that game didn’t cause us to pass on by reason bf apoplexy, one of the rea sons being lack of a short, thick neck. There were traces of stage-fright breaking out all through the combat, and the only thing that prevented some wild scoring was the uniformly close pitching, coupled with the fact that the dumb work showed itself as much on the bashes as in the field. * • * W HILE frequently in danger. Price was very effective, and only a raw bobble in the ninth enabled the' enemy to break into the *‘R” column. It was Gil s help that caused him mo si of the trouble, all along, to offset which the Gulls helped him out by 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 be seen from the* box wore just how feeble that attack finally panned out. The mighty Robertson failed to get a hit. while his rival, Welehonee. ac quired a single and a base on balls in four times up. • * * THE little hitting the Finns were * able to do was sparsely scattered, too, never more than one hit coming In the samp inning. The (Packers, on the other hand, bunched seven of their eight blows in the s*ixth an 1 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 Thapmaa credit for a blow of the Tlncinnati 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 for a nit while Schmidt and Tavet collided over the pill. * * * Ci’MMlN’G up results, and restrain- ^ ing boastful chortles until a later date—if at all—we note the following: The Crackers require just three more games from the Gulls. Cavet pitched pretty well, consid ering he 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—Car! Thompson. Friday—Gil Price—right back at ’em.

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, and not give way to a crazy desire to swing like a garden gate at everything he wheeled up—for, as I paid before. Pug had 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, and 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 you saw how they were popping them up and fouling out and rolling easy grounders at up. I * * * VT OW, about the rest of these games. We all realize just exactly what we are up against. I don’t suppose the best fan in Atlanta has figured over our chances any harder than every fellow on the club. 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 around like a side show man.” He added that he was thinking of returning to his Oregon ranch and settling down as a farmer Wolgaet fought _a characteristic battle, but was wild. His blows lacked the old sting. A FTER the last game with New Or leans, when we had heard that the Gulls lost the afternoon game, and knew for the first time w© ha4 a chance to win the pennant—I tell you, fane, 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 a!?, around and we made a sort of promise that we’d every one give the best we had in the shoo to this next seriea, 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 aa four to win, when you have to win every one. But we felt we had ore of Mobile’s best pitchers—probably their beet— out of the way. And then we felt that we had them on ;h© run. I can’t tell just how that feeling is. but it comes over you once in a while— and w'hen it does, your teun will be going great guns, first thing you know. • * * W E aren’t bragging any. nind you. But we are just determined to put up all the fight there is In ua to beat Mobile the rest, of tlu series And I believe I can promise those same Gulls that, win or loa-, they will know they have been in v fight for the pennant of 1913. Thomasville Beats Valdosta; Series Ted 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.
