By Fuzzy Woodruff. two, three,” counted the Count of Monte Cristo, be fore he had accomplished hi? life work. The time for this may seem infinitesimal. “One, two, three” ranks with “A, B. C” in our system of education, but before Monte Cristo could perform this feat of primary mathematics, he had to spend a couple of billion francs, kill half a score of people, and become a hop- head in something- like 1,000 pages of magnifying glass type. This is not a story of James ONeil, Edmund Dantes, or Alexander Dumas. As little as you may think it, this has to do with the modernized commer cialized game and business of base ball. The sole and only reason for the existence of the first paragraph is to prove that William Andrew Smith, boss of Atlanta's baseball des tinies, has a harder Job ahead of him than had Monte Cristo. Billy nas to count "four.” He has counted “two” wflth such supreme accuracy that the teacher is about ready to send him to the head of the class. His prospects of reach ing “four” are brighter every mo ment. He tackles “three” to-day. * * • “TWO” was an awful job. It was * mastered with so much dif ficulty that Atlanta sighs with relief that he doesn’t have to go up to “ten.” Had he this task ahead, there would be nobody left in Atlanta to hear him speak the number. The population of the city would be transferred to Milledgeville, where the keepers would be trying to convince them that they were not all Napoleon Bona partes, John D. Rockefellers, Hans Wagners and other noted personages. For the pleasure of hearing Wil liam enunciate the only word in the English language that can be spelled three ways, something like 9.000 wild eyed persons horned their way through the generous gates of Poncy Park at from two to six bits a throw under the ostensible excuse that they came to glimpse the noble pastimin of these United States. Beyond doubt baseball was played for their edification. Everybody sure of it. for the umpires were called other things than “Dan” and “Frank” during the afternoon, which is base ball’s surest sign. * • * B UT in addition to the sport of Pa Chadwick, the impressarios of the well-known Crucial Series trotted out as added attractions considerable light comedy, some sharpshooting the like of which has not been seen at Camp Perry, a well-defined case of assault and battery, and a mob scene true to all stage traditions. The crowd roared, but no one was hurt. The Crackers and the Gulls fur nished the pastiming. The Atlanta police force furnished the comedy, young Mr. Hogg did the work from the rifle pit. the youthful Mr. Chap man committed the misdemeanor against the peace and dignity of the State of Georgia, and some sorry pin heads the same sort that furnish the behind-the-scenes growls for the stage mobs for a quarter a night, performed a similar act for their own edification and amusement. The subjects must be taken up se riatim, as the politicians say when they are about to pass a measure that they don’t think the people can swallow at one gulp. * * • A S to the pastiming, it can be truly said that the nervous strain under which the athletes labored in the first of these pennant clashes was multiplied several figures yes terday afternoon. To all appearances all that Mique Finn would hove need ed was to have put a match to the Cracker infield for it to blow up. All that Bill Smith would have had to have done was to suggest flame and fury to the Mobilians and therc- would have been an explosion tha, would have awakened the Federal sol diers sleeping in Marietta and made them think that the Battle of At lanta was on again. From the first Inning until the last there was not a seoond when the Bulls were net in Imminent danger of scoring. From the time that the umpires announced the batteries .1 the moment when Speed Demon Dunn slid Into the plate with the winning run in the ninth, the Crackers seemed ready at any moment to break up the pastiming. ... IT was one of those games worth 1 going miles to see, not to witness anv marvelous baseball performances but to look and marvel that so much mad baseball could be crowded Into nln* innings and so few runs scored With the single exception of the first run the Crackers scored, their every count was due either to basci on balls or errors by the opposition. Every one of the Gulls' trio of tallies can be directly attributed to Cracker misplay. ... THERE were some bright spots. I Dent hurled wonderful ball un der adverse circumstances. Joe Dunn s thinking gave the Crackers the edge. Toe Agler's brilliancy went along un- dlmmed. And the Crackers won, which should be enough. * * * B UT away from the pastiming. Let s to smiling comedy and grim- visaged near-tragedy. As we remarked before, the Atlanta police force furnished the Joe Web?r stuff. Enough bluecoats horned their way through the entrances before the game to patrol the Mexican border with the Maderists and the Huerta- ites both out on a bloodthirsty jag. They were as much in evidence while the pastiming was peaceful as a clown ia in a circus between the acts of the trained elephants and the entranc? of the unequalled troupe of European acrobats. _ „ , They stood before grandstand and bleacher and distributed the scenery and the view of the faithful in fault less fashion. „ _ _ Sir Joseph Porter, K.C.B., once chanted: “But when the breezes blow, I generally go below, And seek the seclusion that the cabin grants—" CHORUS. “And so do his sisters, and his cousins, and his aunts.”_ So did the constabulary. When the dark clouds of violence began to gather and there seemed squally weather ahead, the enforcers of law and order went below the grand stand or some other place where they were as safe from bodily harm as a hobo in a box-car when It’s on n siding. As nothing serious happened, tha bluecoats performed admirably as comedians. Had something serious occurred, there would have been Just cause for the police board to assemble in extraordinary session. * * • OW as to the pitcher with the porcine appellation and his sharpshooting ability and Mr. Chap man with his violation of the crim inal code. In the fifth Inning. Chapman ran out of the batter's box to hit at a curve before it broke A professional boll player knows the answer of the opposing pitcher to this trick of the trade. It Is to shoot the next ball high, fast and straight at the batter. Chapman is a professional ball player. He knows Hogg is a pro fessional ball player, and when Hogg’s fast one caught him in the back, it was more or less his own fault. Chapman, evidently, let his temper and the nervous strain under which all the players were working get the better of him. Instead of trotting to first base, he recovered the ball that had pinked him and deliberately slammed it at Hogg, who barely had time to dodge and evade the throw. Had a spectator hurled a brick at another in this manner an arrest would have been made. The attack on Hogg was in no sense a part of the ball game. The umpires properly and promptly hoisted Chapman jut of the game, and the policemen ate peanuts. OUT that was not enough for the bold, bad men of the bleachers They immediately began to pant for the heart blood of Mr. Hogg, even ad the hart panteth after the water brook. Added fuel was placed on their fire when Hogg, by pure accident, pinked Harry Holland on the wrist. Soon after, the game ended dra matically. There was a scene of wild enthusiasm. Cushions wore throw.> on the field. Hats sailed through the air. The demonstration was natural, was praiseworthy, was sportsmanlike. But there were a few cravens In the crowd, who took advantage of this demonstration of sincere enthu siasm to hide their attack on the Mobile pitcher. Cushions flew in swarms about him ns he walked toward the Mobile bench. Then a pop-bottle or two began to fly. Then a half-dozen of them. * * * l-l OGG, in the meantime, was being 1 1 abused by spectators. He at tempted to retaliate. He was wisely restrained by his teammates. Finally, in company with Charley Schmict. the big. burly catcher of the Gulls, he walked to the Mobile bus. The crowd went yelping, snapping at the heels of the pair. There was no attack. Schmidt looked entirely too businesslike for that sort of busi ness. And In the meantime, hundreds yes thousands, of true Atlanta sports men had to witness the scene and have the sweet taste of a well-earned victory filched from them by the sour display of a few, but always present, addlepates. SIDELIGHTS ON SECOND GAME AT PONCY PARK By W. S. Farnsworth. E D DENT didn’t w r ork quite as hard as Hogg In the second game of the series. That Is. he didn’t pitch as many balls. The Cracker hurler uncorked 109 separate and distinct heaves, while the Gull boxman sent 116 up to the pan. In the second inning Hogg pitched only six balls. That was the low- figure for one stanza. He also hurled the most balls in one spasm—28 in the fifth. Following is a summary of Just the number of balls each hurler pitched in each Inning: Inning Dent Hogg First 12 10 Second 8 6 Third 12 12 Fourth 21 11 Fifth 12 28 Sixth 13 13 Seventh 10 12 Eighth ......... 12 12 Ninth 9 12 Total 109 116 Dent’s first offering of the day was a ball, low and outside. It was a curve. • • • Hogg made his debut with a fas’ one, waist-high, that Agler let ride on him for a strike. • • • Agler was first to register a hit. It came in the opening inning and was a beauty slice to right. • • • Agler also made the final hit, a single to center that scored Dunn with the winning tally. • * * Welchonce’s two-bagger to left In the first inning took a right angle twist to the stand after it hit the ground, just an inch inside the foul line. It floored the first run, as Ag ler cashed on the blow*. • * • Bisland should have waited out a few- in the first instead of hitting at the first ball for an easy infield out Hogg was “up” as a result of Agler s single, Welchonce’s double and the beaning of Smith. • • • Holland had luck on his w'elt in toe first. Clark made a highway robbery stab of his hard line drive that looked good for the circuit. ... Welchonce (ild some fast fielding In the second when he held Schmidt’s good-lookins swat to a single. Looked like a sure three-cushion soak. * . . Clark registered a lucky single in the second when Bisland and Smith let his roller over second go for a single. Each thought the other was going to take It. It was Blsland’s ball. • • • Nixon showed a pretty wing In the second when he made a play to nip Schmidt on Miller's sacrifice hoisi. The fly was deep, but the chunky little gardener almost nailed the Ger man. . * * Two lucky stabs did the Gulls make In the second. * * * Nixon banged a hot one right into Hogg's glove. • • • Then Chapman was robbed of an other hit of the same brand when Stock was right In front of a terrific slam. • * * Hogg's delivery seemed to be a pipe to solve. Whenever he un corked a curve he stepped outside of the box with his right foot. ... Bisland made the best play of the day when he went back of third and stopped Stock’s grounder that got past Holland. Then Rivington made a peachertno chuck to Agler. getting the runner by inches only. . . * Dent caught Starr napping off first in the third by a nice snap throw to Agler. But Pfenninger was asleep and missed it. . • * Wally Smith has probably cleared his system of errors, gnd can be counted on to redeem himself to-day. * • • Tommy Long was lucky to get away with his single that came in the third when he slid into first. Pau- let's chuck to Hogg, who covered, ap peared to have Thomas beaten a shade. • * * Starr bit so hard at one of Dent’s slow curves in the fifth that the bat twisted out of his hands and rolled almost to the Gull bench. Fuzzy Woodruff made two errors going after fouls that rode up to the press box. * * * Starr registered a Cincinnati hit in the fifth inning. They all count in the averages, however. • • • Chapman was very accommodating in the fifth when he ran to the bench to get a handkerchief for Dent. * * * Dent bunted at a third strike the sixth for a foul. How the Gulls did howl when Rudderham refused to declare the tall pitcher out. * * * And to mak ' matters all the wors'* Dent, then, with the count two and nothing against him. dropped a Texas Leaguer to short left. ♦ * * Robertson made two nits. This is a total of five for him this season at Poncy Park. * * • Either Stock or Robertson came up first for the Gulls in every inning. And they are the two moft dangerous men in the Gull batting list. • * * Manush was a regular Arlie Latham on the coaching lines. He cut some mighty funny capers and had the lefi field bleachers rooting their heads off. • * Royal Rooter Brewster sat in the press box and was as quiet as a pack of yelling wolves on a dark and stormy night. * * • Miller made a sweet play in the sixth when he knocked down Nixon’s rapid welt to right-center that was tagged for the circuit. * * * After a consultation between the entire Gull infield Welchonce was pur posely walked in the seventh when things looked a bit blue for the vis itors. * * * Long was dead slow fielding Mil ler's triple in the eighth. It would have been an easy out had Tommy turned and ran back instead of back ing up for it. * • • Holland mire got an awful Jolt or his crazybone in the eighth. Hogg had a world of speed behind that heave. * * * And now we are ready to scalp the Gulls for the third successive time. Let’s go!

For our part, vve are simply going to execute a Gloat. Here goes. • • • IT was a ROTTEN game. 1 You didn’t expect that, after all this fearful preliminary prodigality i f language—did you? Well, it WAR a rotten game. And at one and the same time it was one of the grandest baseball games to watch that ever stirred up the red dust at Ponce DeLeon and tested the souls of ball players and umpires (if any) and lashed 9,000 spectators Into the lust stages of twittering hysterics. On the whole, we’ll just revive that first estimate. It was a Grand Game. • * * THE rottenness of the second Glo- * rious Victory would he charged by a Regular Expert, hired to look over a ball game for its alleged fine points, and criticise any and every little point that broke below cold, mathematical, stop-watch, machine baseball of H. Fullerton and other analysts. Viewed from that hypercritical an gle, Wallop Smith, in his own single person, committed enough crimes to have damned an entire season of Sterilized Baseball. Wally did have one awful day of it. He used up enougli fumbles to last an ordinary infielder a couple of weeks, and at bat the supreme effort of his attack consisted in getting * shoulder blade In front of one of Hogg's fast curves. • • • J OE AGLER and Harry Welchonce tried to keep Wally from feeling lonesome, but they didn’t get very far with it. Harry's boot in the sixth came from a too-desperate effort to play fast on Dave Robertson’s line drive to center, and Joe—again the spot-lighted hero of a crucial game— Joey let a good peg by Bisland to complete a two-ply killing hop from between his flippers But Wally—well. Wally had a round dozen chances, and he fielded .666 2-3. Go on and wear out some more of that pencil—or take a once-over at the Official Box Rcore, displayed elsewhere In this sparkling issue. * * • f^ONSIDEl TNG the extreme shaki- ^ ness of thr* Right Wing of his support, Elliott Dent pitched a great game. Bradley Hogg was good. too. but he had some miraculous fielding back of him. if not much assistance from the umpire. Once a line drive from Welchonce’s bat caromed from the dodging Brad ley's off hip, straight into Stock’s hands, and a swinging double-killing resulted. Again, a screaming punch from Nixon’s weapon lodged in the hands of Starr and Holland was doubled off first. And yet again, the same pesky Starr, bouncing back ward, leaped in the air and when he came down on his rear elevation he held in his gloved hand the line drive of Rivington Bisland. Oh. we should say SOME support for Mr. Hogg. PPOSED to this was the three- bagger of Mr. Miller, which tied O ■j&§g ■'m ■ 1 1 l * I ' ii 1 1 \ m 1 '■"i I i 1 | m * 'M ; : ' ' '■'s: * V I \ i | mmm . i *** : 0,: : . ' i: spotted them the first tie of the con-» test, when, with Schmidt on first, Bisland and Smith raced together at the second bag after Clark’s soft bounder—and stopped and bowed to each other, while the pill hopped feebly out to center field. And then there was Wallop Smith —and yet not one of Wallop’s bobbles figured in the actual scoring, except as they kept Dent toiling overtime and working his head off in four dif ferent scoreless Innings. * * • ^OW, about the two little riots. Chapman’s rjn-in with Hogg in the fifth arose from an old. old custom, traditional with pitchers aS a method of discouraging the prac tice among batters of stepping in to meet the pitch before it breaks. Chappy stepped in on the first pitch. It was a called strike. Then i -r idl v obierv• 'i tradition. Ha wheeled up a fast one high and in side. If Chapman had stepped in to meet it, it would have mat him. Chap py didn't step in to meet that, but it got him. anyway. Absolving Mr. ITogg of murderous intentions, we are inclined to judge the affair a dog-fall, and even to re-i (•rove Mr. Chapman for trying a bean-ball of his own at his supposed! enemy. A vote of thanks also is due Mr. Schmidt, who embraced Mr. Hogg as he came in to offer battle, and per suaded him, by force of arms, as It were, to lay off. The whole business was not be coming. but one must remember that this series is for blood and not being played between roomies. • * * A ND, at that, the sparring match between Mr. Chapman and Mr. Hogg was a clean and sportsmanlike engagement compared with the ex hibition staged right after the game by a lot of imitation thugs in tha western side of the grandstand. Cushions and ill-smelling conver sation were hurled at the Gulls a.* they gathered up their baggage andi prepared to depart. Two policemen were in sight and appeared to be wondering what they were there for. They showed no symptoms of knowing. The crowd jeered the Mobile play ers and showered cushions on them, and the Gulls’ progress to the gato was Impeded by a swarm of the low browed populace, lacking only a lead er to cause actual warfare. • ♦ * T HERE was Just one wild hope in our heart while gazing down &.1 the impending carnage from the press coop. We did hope earnestly that some one of those yelping cowards would ret within reach of Charley Schmidt and say something personal. Take it from us. that hug would have supplied himself and all his kind with a lasting lesson on the im prudence of being a dirty piker out while real men were about. We don’t believe many such mis erable pikers were in that crowd. We do believe that the ones who were should have been kicked out. We believe the police ought to iook after It. • • • VT OW. we are going to saw this off. and compile full reports on tho two leaders in this noble strife, viz. Bill Smith and Mique Finn. Mr. Smith is saying nothing—and eating tobacco. Mr Finn is saying nothing—and smiling. And to the knowing ones, that means W-A-R. And THEN some. This photograph shows Tommy sliding into first in the third inning. He had sent a puzzling grounder down the first base line that Paulet picked up. Hogg ran over to "cover” but just a flash before the Mobile pitcher received the ball Tommy sank his spikes into the sack, thereby earning a hit. Welchonce 4 Points Behind D, Robertson Four points now separate Harry Welchonce and Dave Robertson in their fight for the batting honors of the South ern League. Robertson gained 1 point on the Cracker outfielder yesterday. He is hitting the ball at a .343 clip. Wel chonce has a mark of 339. Robertson got his first two bingles of tho series yesterday, pounding out two clean hits. Welchonce was charged with two times at bat and got one hit.

Sept. 4 —Larry Doyle, captain of the New York Giants, was married yesterday afternoon to Ger trude Elizabeth McCoomba, of Florida. By Innis Brown. W ITH the great collection of baseball bugs assembled at Ponce DeLeon Wednesday afternoon, there was no doubt a lib eral sprinkling of those who sub scribe strongly to the theory of the psychological. In that event, they had their inning. In fact, they had n i? full innings It requiring no less chan the full allotment to settle the con test. As first evidence of the fact, take a iook at the error columns, focusing your chief gaze on the record of Wal lie Smith. Ordinarily, we believe that Wallie possesses as useful a pair jf hands as adorns the anatomy of any gent in the Southern League wh. j n it comes to handling a grass-cutter. However, Wa, o succeeded during ine afternoon in kicking in with no less than three foozles on gentle bounders into his immediate vicinity. Heretofore. Wallie has given local bugs full cause for believing that he would kick in with the real goods all done up in nice silken-bound packages. Wherefore, there is only one plausible reason to be assigned for his failure to come through as per schedule — psychology. Maybe some would call it an overanxiety, but call it whatever you will, it i- a hidden force that somehow side tracks the main performance long enough to cause a failure to connect. • • * H OWEVER, there Is no intention of panning Wallie herein, and fur thermore. Wallie was not the most conspicuous victim of that indefinite situation commonly referred to as the psychological moment. There were at least two others who were victims of the circumstances to a most marked degree. Reference is made to Harry Chap man and Bradley Hogg. In the opin ion of Harry, Bradley produced the first vibrations in the psychological wave, while the Gull slabman main tains that the Cracker receiver pro voked the situation which led to emi nent developments of the psycholog ical. At any rate, it required the serv ices of practically every member of both clubs to suppress the immediat* source from which these waves# ema nated, and it. almost called for activi ties of the dignified, blue-coated min ions of the law. In the fifth, after A1 Nixon had grounded out from Stock-to Paulet. Harry Chapman shouldered his bludgeon and faced the ex-Mercer (linger. On the first pitched ball. Chap danced up and down the bat ter’s box with such liberty that Char lie Schmidt appealed to Umpire RuT- derham. On the eecohd pitched ball, Harry received the shoot near the rear moorings of the diaphragm. Evidently, Chapman figured tha; Hogg was evening up for his bold antics on the preceding shot. At an> rate, he decided that, in directing his fusillade, Bradley had drawn a be;i : on his fifth rib and shot true to his mark. Angered for the moment, ht grabbed up the ball which had rolled aside, and with more speed even thar. he usually employs in nipping run ners at second, he took a shot at Hogg’s bulky form. Bradley ducked in time to miss a knock-out shot, and associates and camp followers butted into .the fray. * • • F ROM this point on the psychology of the situation as affecting Chapman was lowt to the ensemble he having been politely, but firmly, requested by Umpire Rudderham to depart from the field of activities. With the substitution of Joe Dunn, hostilities were resumed. With these thoughts preying on his mind, it is little wonder that Mr. Hogg lost his equilibrium, and with his mental balance went fleeing the steadiness of his pals. On the first ball pitched to Dent that worthy- rolled It down to Paulet. The visit ing first-sacker heaved wide to sec ond to head off John Voss, who sub stituted on the paths for Chapman, and both hands were safe. Hogg settled long enough to make Agler roll to Stock, who killed Dent at third to O’Dell, but Tommy Long was walked and Harry Welchonc also drew free; transportation, after fouling off a half-dozen, taxing the hassocks to their capacity. Then, when Hogg failed to get them over for Smith, he forced Agler home with the second counter for the Crackers. With the bases full, Charlie Schmidt escaped the circumambient wave of old “psycho” long enough to nip Smith off first to Paulet. These happenings should have been sufficient to pack the old game away, had it not been for the crumbling of the Crackers’ inner defense. How ever. the tensity of the situation got the better of the inner guard, and operating as a boomerang, allowed the Gulls to slip through with coun ters. one at a time, until they evened the score in their half of the ninth. Thanas to keen eyesight on part of Josephus Dunn, a neatly-done bun- by Mr. Dent, and a timely punch by J. Agler, the deciding run was shoved aero ms in the last half of the same spasm. This combination dropped hack to bedrock for a long enough period to regain a clear conception of the chief business of the after noon. and before the Gulls could col lect themselves and array their de fensive strength the last sad rites had been said and done, and That Fighting Chance.had been reduced to a two-to- one proposition.
