Jump Game Is Good One io Win — Especially When You Have io Win It
CRACKERS PLAN BOLDLY LOR NEXT THREE GAMES
By (). B. Keeler.
A ND still we have no une for that
Cold Gray Dawn of the Morn
ing: After thing.
To-morrow, now—
But we’ll just keej> 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-J ERE we are. then, one up and
1 1 three to go. with Elliott Dent
-dated to face the Gul’s in the second
rame and Joe Oonzelman to simme r
ently in the Warming Pan through-
>ut the entire performance.
Unless—this i» understood -unless*
of course, the services of Mr. t’ou-
telsnan shall be required where the
-pot-light plays its beams.
But that is an Emergency. And (of
tourse) Mr. (’onzelman’** gentle s»1m-
• nerings must be viewed in that light.
V » *
r'HAP.MAN will be back of the wood
again, and that, with an extra
: apply of eating-tobacco, will cons t
tute Bill Smith’s changes for the sec
ond game of the all-important series
The Little Napoleon—the boys call
hint that not < hirping or hopping
bout and singing in the sunshine.
Not yet. He is eating tobacco pro
fusely
Saying nothing and eating tobacco.
* * •
\S to what Mr Mique Finn plans
• * to do. that is something else
.gain.
Mr Finn says, in a general way,
that he is going to win a ball game
presently. H« does not particularize
s to the method, but it is under-
tood that Mr. Finn will adopt one
f the following plans:
(1) Either he will have the Guile
acquire more runs than the Crack-
rs. or (2) he will have the Gull*
old the Crackers to fewer runs than
he Gulls.
Both methods have been used with
;uch success in major as well as in
•dvior league baseball.
I3UT right here a proposition con*
^ fronts the genial Mr Finn.
H he decides to adopt either of the
oregoing schemes, what /iealer will
ie call on to stack the cards?
\ T some risk of redundancy, or tan.
• * tology .»r something, we must
emark that. too. is something else
gain.
Mr. Finn himself admits that he is
ather in the dark, and prefers to see
•tis alleged help warmed up befoiv
taking a pick for the second game.
By the process of elimination, much
ffected by Socrates. Pluto and Sher
lock Holmes, we deduce that the next
■ffering will not be Pug Cavet. who
•itched yesterday. It is not likelv
o be either Hogg or Campbell, both
of whom got their lickings Labor Day
This resolves the count to Heine
Merger and the other Robertson.
Mr. Finn nn pick petals off a sun-
lower for the choice.
• • •
F> ' m IN (; tin gloat, we got by
pr™ty neatly in that opening en-
lter.'to the unadulterated joy of
jout 7,000 fans—the largest week
ly crowd of the season.
* * •
TOT that the ball game, per so
* that is to sav, of its own mo
on—was anything of an unparai-
led achievement, glorious as was
ie general result.
There were several reasons why
lat game didn’t cause us to pass on
v- reason of apoplexy, one of the rea
ms being lack of a short, thick neck.
There were traces of stage-fright
'eaking out all through the combat,
id the only thing that prevented
>me wild scoring was the uniformly
ose pitching, coupled with the Lr-t
tat the dumb work showed itself ac
uch on the baoes as in the Held.
* • •
\Y7HILE frequontlv in danger. Price
W was ver> eff< ctive, and onl> a
raw bobble in the ninth enabled the
enemy to break into the “R” column.
It was Gil's help that caused him mos
of the trouble, all along, to offset
which the Gulls helped him out b>
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 ecore Just how
feeble that attack finally panned out.
The mighty Robertson failed to get
a hit. while his rival, Welchonce, ac
quired n 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 corning
in the same inning. The Crackers,
on the other hand, bunched seven of
their eight blows in the »ixth 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 for a nit while Schmidt
and Cavet collided over the pill.
* * *
CUMMING up results, and restrain-
^ ing boastful chortles until a later
date—if at ail—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.

Crackers Hot Boasting, but Ready to Put Up All the Fight They Have
JOE AGLER TELLS HOW TEAM FEELS ABOET TASK
By Joe Agler.
W HILE it isn’t exact.y the time
for lotting off a lot of
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
v hack—though, goodness knows, Pug
didn’t need any pity, at that. But
I can’t help feeling that we ut-
gamed the Gulls in the first contest.
* * *
■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
Crackers Win the First Game
And The Georgian Wins in
Just as Convincing Manner
THE CRACKERS WON THE FIRST GAME, AND THE
GEORGIAN WON IN JUST AS CONVINCING A MANNER.
THE SOUTH HAS NEVER SEEN AS COMPLETE AND IN

HAS BEEN 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 GEORGIANS BASEBALL EX
PERT, WHO WRITES THE BREEZIEST ARTICLES OF
ANY CRITIC IN THE SOUTH.

ACCOUNTED FOR IN THESE EXTRAS,

FOUR DAYS IF YOU WANT TO BE SURE OF GETTING
ALL THE REAL NEWS AND GOSSIP OF THIS GREAT
SERIES
errors than they are, I believe a
close survey of the game will show
that they overlooked enough bets to
more than balance the account, and
that, to my mind, shows they were
feeling the strain.
I know all of our boys were feeling
it. Speaking for myself, I know it
was all I could do to look over old
Pqg 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
Maid before. Pug had some stuff yes
terday, in spite of the patch on his
eye.

AND 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
you saw how they were popping them
up and fouling out and rolling easy
grounders at us.
I * * *
IV - 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 T>n 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
I these short lights, and I would rather
i 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
WolgaMt fought a characteristic
battle, but was wild. His blows lacked
the old sting.
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
twirier 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.
Thomas did the slab duty for Wesley.
Crosley was on the receiving end.

6HUPTRINE CO.. SAVANNAH. GA.
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 we had
a chance to win the pennant—I tell
you, fans, it was a queer kind of
Might 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 one of Mobile’s
best pitchers—probably their best —
out of the way. And then we felt
that we had them on the run. I
can’t tell just how that feeling is. but
it comes over you once in a while—
and when it does, your team will 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 rest of the series.
And I believe I can promise those
same Gulls that, win or lose, they
will know they have b^en in a fight
for the pennant of 1913
Thomasville Beats
Valdosta: Series Tied

Empire State League pennant. Thom.
asville took yesterday’s game, 5 to 0.

hurled the best game of his career. He
held Jordan’s men down to two scat
tered hits 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.
