Atlanta Mogul Tackles Job That Made Monte Cristo's hair White B.SM1TH HAS COUNTED ‘2’; CAN HE COUNT TO ‘4? By Fuzzy Woodruff. ff/’-'VNE, two, three,” counted the yj Count of Monte Cristo, be fore he had accomplished his 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 ns you may think it, this has to do with the modernized commer cialized game and business of base ball. The pole 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 has to count “four/* He has counted “two” with BUOh 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 A 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 have been transferred to Milledgeville* w r hero the keepers would be trying to convince them that they were not all Napoleon Bona- partes* John D. Rockefellers* Hans Wagners and other holed personages, Fbr 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 persona horned their wav through the generous gates of Pon^y Park at from two to six bits a throw- under the ostensible excuse that they came to glimpse the noble pastiming of these United States. Beyond doubt baseball was played j for their edification. Everybody Is ! sure of it. for the umpires were called other things than “Dan” and "Frank” during the afternoon, which is base ball’s Burest sign. 4 * * B UT In addition to the sport of Pa Chadwick, the impressarios of tho well-known Crucial Series trotted out as add°d attractions considerable like of which has not been seen at Camp Perry, a well-defined care of assault and battery, and a mob scene light comedy, some sharpshooting the 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 Ml*. 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, anu 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 hervous strain under which tile athletes labored in the first of these pennant clashes was multiplied several figures yes terday afternoon-. To all appearances al! that Mlque CTnn would have need ed was to have put a match to the Cracker infield for It to blow up. All that Sill Smith would have had to have done was to suggest flame and fury to the Mobilians and there would have been an explosion that would have awakened the Federal sol diers keeping 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 second when the Gulls were net in imminent danger of scoring. From the time that the umpires announced the batteries . thp moment when Speed Demon Dunn slid into the plate with the winning run in the ninth, the Crackersi seemed ready at an^ moment to break up the pastiming-. . . , IT was one of those games worth * going miles to see, not to witness anv marveh n« bas-lmU performs but to look and marvel that so much mad baseball could be crowded Into nin* Innings and so few runs scored. With the single exception of the flr c <t run the Crackers scored, their every count was due either to bases on balls or error? bv the opposition. Everv one of the Gulls’ trio of tallies can be directly attributed to Cracker mi splay. * • • T HERE were some bright spotB. Dent hurled wonderful hall un der adverse circumstances. Joe Dunn's thinking gave th* Cpacker? the edge. Joe Agler’s brill' Airy went along un- dimmed. And the Crackers won. which should be enough. ■ * * * B UT away from the pastiming. Let's to smiling comedy and grim- visaged near-tragedy. A >. »ve remarked beforp. the Atlanta *?. police force furnished the Joe Web?r stuff. Enough bluecoats horned their way through the entrances before ihe game to patrol the Mexican border with the Maderlsts and the Huerta- 1tes both out on a bloodthirsty Jag. They were a? much in evidence while the pastiming was peaceful as a clown ia in a circus between the acts of the trained elephants and the entrance 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 th** dark clouds of violence began to gather and there seemed squally weather ahead, the enforcers of law and order w-ent below the grand stand or some other place where they a# #afe from bodily harm as a hobo In a box-car when it’s on n siding. As nothing serious happened, the 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 porcino 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 ball player knows the answer of the opposing pitcher to this trick of th trade. It is to shoot the next ball high, fast and straight at the batter. Chapman is a professional bad 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 fit 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 out of the game* and the policemen ate peanuts. DUT 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- I matieally. There was a scene of wild enthusiasm. Cushions were throw'.• on the field. Hats sailed through j the air. The demonstration was natural, was praiseworthy, was j 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 th® Mobile pitcher. Cushions flew in swarms about him as he walked toward the Mobile bench. Then a pop-hot tie or tw*o began to fly. Then a half-dozen of them. • » * U OGG, In the meantime, was being * A abused by spectators, ile at tempted to retaliate, He was wisely restrained by his teammates. Finally, in company with Charley Schmidt, 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 ntftick. 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 frorh them by the sour display of a few, but always present, addlepates* SIDELIGHTS ON SECOND GAME AT P0NCY PARK Bv W.

For our part, we are going to climb on that tussle of yesterday, which was Wednesday, if you are un lucky enough to get this great edu cational lay-out tho morning after. We are going to climb on that Sec ond Game of tho Hectic Series, and we are going to RIDE. Want to come along? * * * » QXE reason is because the riding is good, just at the exact present. To-morrow’s low defending sun may produce a Dull Thud in the Tank of Calamity. Wherefore we shall go booling along while the booling is good. ♦ * * N O special features, understand. Special Features are handled elsewhere ir this* Admirable Lay-out (as before hinted) by a. Battery of Wild and Untamed Experts, who nav* been training for weeks on raw beef to acquire the requisite Local Color. For our part, we are simply going to execute a Gloat. Here goes. • * • IT was a ROTTEN game. * You didn’t expect that, after all this fearful preliminary prodigality of language—did you? Well, it WAS a rotten game. And at one and the same time it was one of the grandest baseball games to watch that ever stirred up tho red dust at Ponce DeLeon and tested the souls of ball players and umpires (if any) and lashed 9,000 spectators into the last 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- A rious Victory would be charged by a Regular Expert, hired to look over a ball game for its alleged line 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 enough fumbles to last an ordinary infielder a couple of weeks, and at bat the supreme effort of his attack consisted in getting a 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 bop 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 Score, displayed elsewhere in this sparkling issue. • * • C ONSIDERING the extreme shaki ness of the 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 w'hen 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. • * * O PPOSED to this wan the three- bagger of Mr. Miller, which tied 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 r in-in with Hogg in the fifth arose from an old. obi custom, traditional wMth 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 Bradley observed tradition. He wheeled up a fast one high and in side. If Chapman had stepped in tp meet it, it would have met him. Chap py didn’t step in to meet that, but it got him, anyway. Absolving Mr. Hogg of murderous intentions, we are inclined to judge the affair a. dog-fall, and even to re prove 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 the western side of the grandstand. Cushions and ill-smelling conver sation were hurled at the Gulls as they gathered up their baggage and 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 gate was impeded by a smarm 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 a the impending carnage from the press coop. We did hope earnestly that son*e one of those yelping cowards would get within reach of Charley Schmidt and say something personal. Take it from us. that bug would have supplied himself and all his kind with a lasting lesson on the im prudence of being a dirty piker out loud, while real men were about. We don’t believe many such mls- prable pikers were in that crowd. We do believe that the ones who were should have been kicked out. We believe the police ought to >ook after it. . „ - N OW. we are geinff to saw this off. and compile full reports on the 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. This photograph shows Tommy sliding into first in the third in ning. He had sent a puzzling grounder down the first base line that Paulet picked up. Hogg ran over to “cover" but just a flash befor e the Mobile pitcher received the ball Tommy sank his spikes into the sack, thereby earning a hit. * _ 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 the series yesterday, pounding out two clean hits. Welchonce was«charged with two times at bat and got one hit. Hogg, Chapman and Smith Are First to Break Under Fierce Struggle STRAIN TELLING ON FLAYERS OF BOTH TEAMS us all up in the eighth, after spat tering out of Tommy Long’s mitts, far away toward tho left-field fence. I If Tommy only could have clung to it, a lot of hysterics and fits and such wouldn’t nave been wasted in the next frame. Then, in the second inning, our boys Bv 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 Hrongly to the theory of the psychological* In that event* they had their inning. In fact* they had nine full innings, it requiring no less than the full allotment to settle the con test. As first evidence of the fact* take a look 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 anv gent in the Southern league wh • i it comes to handling a grass-cutter. However, Wallie succeeded during toe 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 be would kick ir\ 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 csll it an overanxiety, but call it whatever you will, it is a hidden force that somehow side tracks the main performance long enough to cause a failure to connect. * * • TJOWEVER. there Ip 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 tho first vibrations in the psychological wave* while the Gull elabman 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 immediate source from which there waves ema- naled* and it almost called tor 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. H irry Chapman shouldered his bludgeon and faced the ex-Mercer flinger. On the first pitched l>;«11. Chap danced up and down the bat ter’s box with such liberty that Char lie Schmidt appealed to Umpire Ru i- derham. On the second pitched ball, Hurry received the shoot near the rear moorings of the diaphragm. Evidently, Chapman figured that Hogg was evening up for his bold antics on the preceding shot. At any rate, he decided that, in directing his fusillade, Bradley had drawn a bead on his fifth rib and shot true to his mark. Angered for the moment, he grabbed up the ball which had rolled aside, and with more speed even than he usually employs In nipping run ners at second, lie 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. • 9 • F ROM this point on the psychology of the situation as affecting Chapman was lout to the ensemble, he having been politely, out 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 pal it. On the first ball pitched to Dent that worthy rolled it down to Paulet. The visit ing flrst-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 I was walked and Harry Welchonce also drew free transportation, after fouling off a half-dozen, taxing tho 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, an 1 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. ThanKs to keen eyesight on part of Josephus Dunn, a neatly-done butr by Mr. Dent, and a timely punch by J.’ Agler, the deciding run was, shoved acro^«s in the last half of the same spasm. This combination dropped back 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 tvvo-to- one proposition, Now---weigh the car—not its price.
