Well, that la something else again.
THAT for the Gulls.

r* OR our own ltttle part, when we
* went on record, some da ye be
fore this orool war opened, as yield
ing to no one in our wllllngne** to
die game, we neglected to itgure on
fits as an accompaniment to the de
mise.
One may die game outside of Mat-
tea wan.
But it doesn't look as if the Atlanta
fans are going to pass on in any safe
and sane manner
Not while the Gulls are sticking
around.
• • •
W HEN the ninth inning was two-
thirds and a pair of strikes
over, we had mentally set up ttys
line, to lead off with:
"We re still THERE!*’
When that inning had traveled the
final third and was entirely and com
pletely' over, we made a small change
In that lead-off line, to wit, via, i. e.—
"Were there. STILL!**

Blamed still, If anybody should ask
you.

You know what these Siamese bills

Also, you will be shoe-homed into

be some more of tjie same thing

Before any of the Expert Brigade
beats us to It, we want to pull an
old one.
Round 9, Division A. Game 3 wa*
exactly what W. Tecumseh Sherman
said war was.
And then soma.

W HY, man alive—there were tmr*
strikes on Dave Robertson —
and two out—and two runs in the
lead—and—•
Put the fire to it. Shade of William
Tec.uinseh; it's stone cold.
Well, then, the old brimstone brok*
out of Dave’s system, and he hooked
a clean drive to center for one ba*e.
Then came up this pugnacious
Irishman. Charles Schmidt, and there
were two strikes on HIM—and two
out—and two runs tc go—end all that
sort of thing
And then he cut one to Holland n
slow bounder, and legged it to firs-
like a runaway gondola loaded with
coal, off the end of a siding
Now, Holland’s peg wasn’t the bee*

clumsily bounding Schmidt. And l*

Blooie No. 2 was Miller’s clean rap

A ND that's a heluva a lot to spill
about one-third of one-third of
one inning
But It was a heluva a one-third of

T HE Gulls showed the raw stuff
Just then.
It lookeil all the stouter after a
desperate rally had failed to put over
a single run in the eighth, ending
in an attempted steal of home that
Pfenninger ruled against the Gulls on
a mighty close play. Then the Crack
ers added their second run, and It
looked to be settled.
The real chance—as you will see by
a quantity of Expert Testimony—was
missed by the Crackers in that round
For once they got Old BUI Campbell
somewhere near on the run. Then,
with Holland on first and Fleland on
second, Nixon singled to right and
Miller let the ball roll through him.
Bldland scored and Holland raced
up to third—and stopped and looked
for the ball.
The ball wes rolling carelessly
through the Infield.
Holland took a new start—and waa
nipped at the pan.
That pause cost a run. shut off a
rally, cost the Crackers a ball game,
and probablv a pennant
Charging nesltatlon to Holland im
plies lack of coaching on the part of
Gil Price—and neither explanation
helps anything
It’s the way of the game.

TJ ELAPSING from analytical to
general dlscus.-don, it may be
stated broadly that Joe Conzelman
was in serious trouble In five out of
the nine rounds. He escaped in four
of them, partly by hts own grand
pitching in the pinches, and partly
by a stiff defense put tip by the help.
Wally Smith was partly Himself again
and his fielding was clean and ac
curate. He handled eleven chances
without a skip.
Other brilliant performers were
Rlsland, whose play on O’Dell’s
grounder' was the most spectacular
feat of the day; Paulet, Joe Agler,
Miller and Billy OamptxUl himself.

T)AVB ROBERTSON, the league’#
leading slugger, looked painfully
weak facing Conzelman’s big drop
and darting fast ball, right up to the
crucial test in the ninth.
Then Dave looked pretty fair.
Conzelman w f as losing stuff in that
Inning, anyway. He worked slowly,
and his fast ball hadn’t near its usual
Jump. As for Campbell, he looked
like an iron man. The veteran used
his head and his fine balk motion to
save himself with men on bases, and
pitched a remarkable fame.

While There's Life, There's
Hope paraded the stage for a pair
of days. Youth vs. Age. and Youth
Must Be Served did its little act until
suddenly hooked from behind the
ecenes. And now comes our ancient,
honored, most accepted friend, old
Irony of Fate. He plants himself
In the calcium and hie shadow throws
a pall of gloom aa sinister as the
moment of silence between the light
ning flash and the thunder roll.
We had hoped to escape Old Irony
during this present never-to-be-for
gotten series between the Crackers
and the Gulls. There had been so
many other things In evidence dur
ing the progress of the titanic strug
gle that we thought for ones he had
been crowded out.
• • •
IN fact, yesterday afternoon until a
late and unseemly hour we oould
see no possible chance of doing aught
but taking friend Youth Must Be
Served down from an upper shelf and
putting him In play again.
Then, before we really reaHred what
had happened If Youth had any la
tentlon of being served the waiter
forgot the order.
At a loss for an Idea, we wandered
from the ball park, knowing some
thing had happened, but no tangible
results had been obtained.
And then some genius with a cig
arette between his lips and the visor
of a cap over his eye spake In classic
words: “Ain't It the helluvathlng
for to Just miss old Jupiter Pluvlue
and then have a tie game horn In and
leave the day wasted?"
Ills companion spoke In well-set
terms: "It's the Irony of Fate,"
quoth he.
It was. Yon might call It the
hlankedety blankedest luck. You
might plow through the entire dic
tionary to And the words to describe
It properly and at the end of vout
labor you would hare to fall back on
Old Irony of Fate. For Old Irony It
was.
LJ EIRE'S the situation as It was, Is.
1 1 but can’t forever will be. In plain,
blunt words:
Crucial Series had paraded half
way through Its existence. Four
games the Crackers had to win from
tho Gulls to have even a chance for
the pennant. Two games had been
played. The Crackers had won both.
They still had their chance. In fact,
the chance looked rosy The third
day of the Four I>ays of Strife was
reached and the elements threatened
to end the combat.
Mind you. had rain interfered yes
terday, a douhle-he(%ler would had
had to have been played to-day, and
should rain or anything else Inter
fere with to-day's pastlming, the pen
nant Is practically the GuIIb’.
Wherefore, It behooved the rain god
to be easy with his watering can. es

TT seamed that Friend Fates Wera
A Against Us was preparing to ap
pear ihroug-hout yvsterday. The early
risers yesterday morning found a
tang of autumn in the air and a cold
mist splashing In their faces.
If the sun ha^ ajiy refulg-ent glory
it failed to show it yesterday. When
the time for pastlming approached
the Heavens seemed to be weeping
their sympathy for the downtrodden
Gulls.
There seemed about as much
chance of weeing a baseball game as
there Is for John D. Rockefeller to
blow his fortune in a night’s revelry.
But then White There’s Life
There’s Hope entered and the efTect
of his appearance was as potent as
a catflsrh sandwich «t a negro pri
mary. Atlanta fandom showed its
true colors when It meandered out
to the paatimlrrg nssture something
like 9,ODO strong in a downpour to
take chances on drawing a rain-check
and an aJl-winter cold for the trouble.
A FTER this display, Nature seemed
to relent. It's true the heavens
continued to sniffle a bit through ftve
innings, but when Nature saw that
the game was going to - be played
regardless. Nature relented and al
lowed the <dubs to fight It out.
Enter Youth vs. Age. William An
drew Smith picked Joe Conzslman, a
gentleman of youth and abilities, as
his white hope.
And Mike Finn, Just to make the
contrast good, selected Billy Camp
bell, a warrior full of years and dis
cretion, to do his work for him.
Both managers picked well. Con-
zelman seemed the personification of
youthful vigor. Campbell seemed to
be the living example of the wisdom
of years.
Conzelman was sctnUTlmtlngly bril
liant. His speed was dasxllng. His
curve ball was absolutely perplexing.
His drop fell with the suddenness
of Niagara FgJls. HLs control was
perfection.
And what Campbell lacked in bril
liance of quality he mads up from
the wealth of nis store of experience.
Every ball he hurled was carefully
considered. On two occasions, with

Mobile Showed Great Gameness
By Loti Castro.
T HE “never-say-dle” spirit of the
Mobile ball club showed Itself
in the ninth Inning of yester
day’s game, and as a result the Crack
ers and Gulls will clash in a double-
header this afternoon.
Seemingly beaten for eight innings.
Finn’s men came in to take their final
turn at bat. O’Dell was the first
man to face Conzelman. He went out,
Smith to Agler. When Paulet was
disposed of by Smith it looked a®
if the vleitora were doomed for an
other defeat. Probably every one in
that ball park was willing to con
cede the local® another victory.
Up came 1 Dave Robertson, the
league’s leading slugger. He waited
the string out until he had two and
three. Dave slammed the next pitch
for a single to center. Schmidt was
up next. The Gulls’ backstop hit to
Holland. But here 1® one man who
doesn’t know what the word “quit”
mean®. He dashed at full speed for
first base and the unexpected hap
pened. Agler dropped Holland’s poor
throw and Charlie was safe with
Robertson on third.
• • •
T HE Gulls were fighting mad.
Schmidt's fighting spirit had
aroused the entire team. Conzelman,
for the first time, seemed to be weak
ening. He had been pitching his head
off end the Gulls were working him
to the limit. Two youngsters fol
lowed Schmidt to the plate, Clark
and Miller.
Conzelman got two strikes on Clark
and it looked as if It was all over.
However, the Mike Finn fighting
spirit had been drilled into this player.
He refused to quit and instead pound
ed a single and Robertson scored
while Schmidt beat it to third. The
strain was telling on Conzelman. but
it looked as if he would pull out.
All he had to do was to dispose of
Miller. The latter also had two
strike® on him. On© more strike and
the Crackers were to walk ofT the
field a winner for the third succes
sive time. But the inevitable pinch
hit came. Miller singled to center
and the game was tied. Campbell
went oat. but the damage was done.
The Gulls had scored two runs and
the game was tied.
• • •
I N choosing Campbell to face the
Crackers yesterday, Mike Finn
showed excellent Judgment. Camp
bell is a veteran of the old school
and is a wonder in a crisis. He
pitched a great game and appeared
to be strong at the finish.
So much for the Gull®. They dis
played gameness that was probably
never equaled. I couldn’t help but ad

J OE CONY ELM AN dvgerrss the Bon
share of the glory given the
Crackers. The youngster surely
hurled a marvelous game and was the
big king in the pinches, except In the
final session. He pitched like a vet
eran and it was certainly tough luck
that he didn't cop. Whenever a hit
meant a run Conzelman showed at
his best. His drop was a wonder
and he had Finn’s crew puzzled. He
also used a dandy fast one.
Probably the sorriest man In At
lanta to-day is Joe Agler. After prac
tically winning two games for Smith’s
crew, Joe made a costly error yester
day. True, the ball was close to the
runner and hard to handle, but It Is
a 100 to 1 bet that Joe would eat up
throws of that kind if he was in the
same position again. There were two
out at the time and had Joe caught
the ball the game would have gone to
the Cracker®. But It Is things of thl*
sort that make baseball the most
uncertain sport.

The Crackers' chances for fha pen

that ball players labor under when
In a double-header is terrible. Espe
cially when each contest means so
much. Should Smith’® men cop they
will be accomplishing something that
Atlanta can well be proud of. If
they should lose I hope that the fans
will give the boys credit for the great
fight they have put up.
• • •
TMIE boys deserve the support of
A every fan in Atlanta. They have
fought for the honor of the city, so
let's hope that a monster crowd turns
out this afternoon to cheer them on.
They are still fighting and are made
of the right Btuff. They are facing a
wonderful team and the game® to
day should be worth going miles to
see. I’ll be there for one, and if the
record attendance i® not broken I
will surely be one surprised party.
For the sake of the sport and fair
play may the best team win.
Southern League batter up and runs
imminent, he made the big outfielder
look silly by absolutely outguessing
him. I Is doubtful Lf man ever worked
a headier game of ball at Ponce De
Leon than the veteran southpaw did
yesterday. It is doubtful if man ever
will.
• • •
I T is useless to recount the features
of the game. It was so replete
with them that it would require mors
time, mors energy, more brains than
is on tap right here. Besides, every
body In Atlanta either saw the battle
or has had it talked to them a dozen
time®, so what’s the use.
Suffice It to say that both teams
fought desperately. There waa none
of the amateurish nervousness ap
parent that so marked the first two
struggles. Time after time, when
either the Crackers or the Gulls
seemed about to end the pastlming,
brilliant baseball would prevent scor
ing.
ess
B UT Tooth Must Be Served had
entered by this time. As brainily
a# Campbell was working, he coulu
not altogether stave off the fury of
the Cracker attaok, and as Mobile
came in for their ninth inning the
Gulls faced a lead of two runs, which
seemed a million to all practical pur
poses.
Then some rude stage hand ex
tended the hook and yanked Youth
Must Be Served behind the scenes.
Before the 9.000 fan® could realize It
the score had hCtn tied.
Old Irony of Fa*t© was the only
victor.
