SILK 1 iAT HARRY’S DIVORCE SUIT 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. BASEBALL SUMMARY STANDING OF THE CLUBS.

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 TERESTING ACCOUNTS OF A BIG SPORTING EVENT AS THE GEORGIAN CARRIED ON THE FIRST DAY OF THE STRUGGLE BETWEEN THE GULLS AND THE ATLANTA CLUB FOR SOUTHERN LEAGUE SUPREMACY. AND THROUGHOUT THIS BIG SERIES. TO-DAY, THURSDAY AND FRIDAY, THE' ACCOUNTS WILL BE JUST AS MINUTELY COMPLETE, THE COMMENT AND GOSSIP OF THE STRUGGLES WILL BE JUST AS GRIP- PINGLY INTERESTING TO BASEBALL LOVERS. IN THIS SERIES THE GEORGIAN WILL BE REPRE SENTED BY THE GREATEST COLLECTION OF EX PERTS IN THE SOUTH. THEY WILL OVERLOOK NO POINT. THEY WILL PLAY THE GAME FOR YOU EX ACTLY AS IT S PLAYED AT PONCY PARK. AMONG THOSE WHO WILL “COVER” THIS SERIES FOR THE GEORGIAN ARE: BILLY SMITH. THE CRACKER MANAGER, THE MAN WHO BROUGHT A RANK TAIL ENDER OF 1912 UP TO THE TOP. JOE AGLER, THE CORKING FIRST BASEMAN, WHO 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. 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. THE GEORGIAN WILL ALSO HAVE STAFF PHOTOG RAPHERS AT THE PARK TO SNAP EVERY PLAY OF IM PORTANCE. THE GEORGIAN'S BASEBALL EXTRAS WILL RUN COMPLETE DETAILED REPORTS OF THE GAME, SENT IN PLAY BY PLAY. EVERY BALL AND STRIKE WILL BE ACCOUNTED FOR IN THESE EXTRAS, ORDER YOUR GEORGIAN EARLY FOR THE NEXT 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. ITCHING PILES J Every sufferer from Itching piles should read ) these words from H. S. Hood, of Bellaire.

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 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 game3. Roth, on the mound for the locals, 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.
