SIDELIGHTS FOURTH GAME PARK Father Time With Deadly Scythe Rushes to Rescue of Beaten Gulls CRACKER CLUB IS VANOUISHED,THOUGH VICTORS GREATSCENE By Fuzzy Woodruff. A TLANTA won. And defeat was the Crackers. Mobile lost, and when the Gulls departed from the stricken field of Ponce DeLeon they were tasting the sweets of victory. The statement sounds paradoxical, but the paradox is true. For to the losers belonged the spoils, while the winner's share was the headache. A happier, more radiant, more, su premely contented face has never been seen in Atlanta than was the Fenian physiognomy of Finn as he left that battle-plowed, rain-soaked field. A more despondent, heartbroken wight than William Andrew Smith at that time has never appeared outside of a stage snowstorm. And William was the victor. Mique was the vanquished. ♦ • • T FT us pause and analyze this con- dition under which oil mixes with water, streams run uphill, theft be comes honesty, raises In salary are given unsolicited, and other rank im possibilities become stern reality. When Finn led his Gulls into this city of Southern progress. William Andrew Smith had to lead a forlorn hope that makes Pickett’s charge at Gettysburg appear as easy as pick ing cherries off papa's tree. With a club that had but recently recovered from a slump he was com pelled to face the leaders of the league, before who.se attack other clubs in the circuit had fallen as chaff be fore the wind and riders from the water wagon on the first bump after New Year's Day. • • • P* OUR games were scheduled be- * tween the Crackers and the Gulls. Experts agreed that for the Crackers to have a reasonable chance for the Southern League gonfalon all four of these battles must be taken by Atlanta. Writers got out their trusty book of adjectives, picked out “Herculanean’* and then began to describe Smith’s task. Then let the epic poet twang his lyre and tell in rounded phrase and tinkling Jingle the gallantry with which William went about his labors. Marco Rozzaris. the gent who awoke the Turks; Arnold Von Winkelrisd, the warrior who made a pin-cushlor of himself for the independence of Switzerland; Nathan Hale, who did a soft-shoe dance on atmosphere and wished for the lives of a cat in order to take his encores, had nothing on the sublime courage with which Billy and his Crackers tackled the job.

A second victory re duced it to Just plain tremendous. And then came a drawm battle that sent Smith back to the Herculanean job of winning tw'o battles In a slngt* day, equaling. If not bettering, the batting average of N. Bonaparte, i major leaguer of the early part of the late departed century. Smith didn’t quail. He resumed the role of Hercules with as stout a heart as ever tripped inside of human carcass. He fought desperately for the first game of this double affair. He won it. He fought desperately for the second. He was not defeated by the GullaL He was downed by Father Time, a W’ar- rlor who has been able to dispose of every champion who has ever sported laurel wreath or The Police Gazette belt. To-day he stands a vanquished conqueror, through no fftult of his.

Instead of the top of the per- etntifs table being tied in a knot as fast as master mariner can make. • * * IT was palpable yesterday that the * Mobile club had realized it was beaten, practically before the ath letes trotted on the field. Weirder support than w*as given "Pug" Oavet in the opening session has rarely been seen So securely did the game seem tucked away that the Crackers eased in their attack to hurry matters and make the second game sure. Of course, there is where Smith or the officers of the Atlanta Baseball Association or somebody erred. There should have been no chance of the second game being called without five innings being played. It was known, days and days in advance, that the Mobile club would have to leave the ball park at 4:40 o’clock yesterday afternoon to com plete their schedule at home. It was known, weeks and weeks ago. that Southern League games played in less than two hours are rarities. But only three hours were given for the playing of the two games, when the ten minutes’ rest between struggles Is deducted. • • • THE Atlanta club could have had * the first game called at 10 o'clock yesterday morning as well as 1:30 o’clock yesterday afternoon. Not one paid admission would have been miss ing. Still, the club fixed the hour at l 30, and the club, and the club alone, responsible for the fact that the ' nickers, instead of being In first place by a margin so comfortable * bat It would be desperately hard to overcome, are but tied for first place, with the schedule so arranged that there is only the barest possibility that Atlanta can finish in front. To-day Atlanta meets Chattanooga, an admittedly formidable club. To day Mobile meets New Orleans, ad mittedly the weakest club in the league. To-morrow the season of 1913 is a thing of the past for At lanta To-morrow Mobile meets New Orleans. It is decidedly problematical, after the strain of a series like the one under which the Crackers labored while they were fighting the Gulls, that Atlanta can come right back and take the dangerous Elberfeldans into camp. It is altogether likely that Mobile can beat the tail-end Pelicans twice in two days. • • • ATLANTA can win the pennant 'Minder these venditions: (1) Defeat Chattanooga, while Mo bile lose* one game to New Orleans (21 Lose to Chattanooga, while Mobile loses twice to New’ Orleans. (3) Win from Chattanooga, while both Gulls g%inesi are being rained out. (41 Have rain in Atlanta while Mo bile is losing one or more games. The conditions seem numerous.

They may still be working at top speed against the Lookouts. They may win the pennant. But golden opportunity w’as lost when Atlanta took a chance on let ting Father Time enter the lists, for old Father has won all of his battles, save the one that is st:Jl being w r ageu with Lillian Russell, and he may get her yet.

A S that mass of humanity rose and roared yesterday after noon, as the band of bra*s crashed out a martial air whose first bars even were drowned by cheering, the clanging of cow bells, the tooting of horns, the shrieks of automobile sirens; as those hundreds of red-blood ed people, bankers and artisans, financiers and clerks, clubmen and laborers joined on common ground, and shoulder to shoulder, marched the blue-coated, apoplectic musicians to voice and demonstrate their enthusi asm, I longed for the present of some of our critics from across the sea, who are always prone to shout that our sports are too commercialized to per mit genuine enthusiasm. That crowd yesterday would have been a better answer to that critisicm than 10,000 words written by our ablest defenders. It was a sight worth going miles to see. I have seen the surging crowd at the running of the Futurity in the days that are gone. I have seen the hysteria with which the winner was greeted. I have heard that awful roar that comes from the rival stands when toe meets football and armored athletes clash in their classic annual strug gles. But I have never seen demonstra tion to equal the one on Ponce De Leon field yesterday afternoon. • * * IT was a climax to a wonderful day. 1 As early as noon the stands began to fill. These early comers were the dyed-in-the-wool bugs, the fellows who never know what it is to miss i ball game, men who would sacrifice job and health and anything else rather than miss such a critical com bat as yesterday. It w’as truly a typical American gathering. The spirit of the Republic was more evident there than in any convention of a political party ever assembled. Every class was repre sented. As standing space became of value. I saw business men of the highest standing, climbing fences like 10-year-olda I saw society belles calmly seated on the red clay ground, regardless of futjire of dainty dresses. I saw’ new’sboys become supremely important personages because they were possessed of a soda water box on which to seat themselves. • • • 'THAT crowd was never silent for a * second. Every noise that could be made that crow’d made. Every move that favored Atlanta was greet ed w r ith a demonstration louder than the one just preceding. until it seemed that the limit had been reached. But when the winning run was scored the noise that had resounded before sounded like a pin drop in a boiler factory. The shouts must have been heard in East Point. Certainly the spirit of enthusiasm pervaded Fulton and DeKalb Counties. *\nd then comes the sad part. That crowd, ihe crowd that did all and would have done more for the Crack ers was the direct cause of the Crack ers not scoring a double victory. The three-base hit of Paulet that scored Mobile's tying runs that forced the game into extra innings and con sumed valuable time would have been easily captured had not the presence of the crowd interfered with Out fielder Nixon. Again in the tenth inning. Wallie Smith’s- drive to left would have been an easy home run. but the fact that it went into the crowd made it three-base hit. and more of those priceless minutes were lost bringing him from third home. • » • A ND the demonstration itself. The crowd surged on the field. It ran wildly for awhile, then it formed and marched, and more time was taken. Eighteen minutes were consumed in clearing the field. The allotted time between garner is ten minutes. Those moments that the crowd wasted might have been enough to enable the Cracker? to have taken both 8>mMb _ Has Fate Robbed Atlanta of Rag? +•4* 4**+ +•+ 4-*4* C. Thompson Looked Like Winner By Lou Castro. H AS fate beaten the Crackers out of the Southern League pennant for 1913? After trimming the Gulls 6 to 5 In the first game, the locals looked like sure winners in the second combat. The calling of the second game, however, forces the Crackers to beat Chattanooga this after noon, while Finn’s men must drop one of their two remaining contests to the Pels. At the present time both teams have about an even chance for the flag. But, had the locals been able to finish the second game they would have surely copped. Carl Thompson was going strong, and It is doubtful if the overworked Hogg could have stood the strain much longer. A vic tory for Smith’s crew in the final game meant the pennant. The Crackers knew it. The Gulls knew it, and every fan In that ball park knew it. • * * S TILL you can not beat fate. The second game started at 4 o’clock. The rival managers had agreed to stop play at 4:40, no matter how the count stood. To complete four and one-half innings in 40 minutes was impossible. The teams started to play, but after going three innings, the contest was called, as the time was up. True, the Mobile players stalled, but where is there a hall club that wouldn’t have done the same thing? They were fighting with their backs against the wall and were out to take advantage of every opening. If they dropped that second game to the boys from Atlanta it meant the pennant, and they were out to save themselves. Fate did It for them. • * • N OW that the great series is over, there Is one player who is scampering around the shortfield for the Crackers who deserves much credit. Rivington Bisland is the gentleman, and he is certainly a wonder. Never have I seen a boy deliver the goods in the pinches better than Bisland. His work at short was simply wonderful, and it will be some time before local fans will see it duplicated. I have watched such stars as Wagner, Barry, Wallace, Elberfeld and Bush in action, but Bisland’s work in this series has never been equaled by any of them. He covered the territory between second <-lnd third in great style, and more than once raced in back of Holland for seemingly impossible grounders. Once he got his hands on the pill his throw to first was like an arrow. His two one-handed stops yesterday were surely remarkable. If some major league club doesn’t grab this boy next season I miss my guess. And it’s a 100-to-l bet that he will make good, too. He has the class, and class tells. • • • N EXT to Bisland Joe Agler was the shining star for the Crackers. Joe played great ball, both at bat and in the field. It is my opinion that Agler and Bisland are two of the greatest players in the Southern League. Going back to tho game, I want to say a few words about Wallie Smith. Many of the fans had thought Wallie was about through after he made four errors the other day. Wallie certainly redeemed himself in the eyes of the fans yesterday when he lined out a triple in the tenth inning of the first game. The crowd was all that robbed Smith of a home run. The ball cleared Clark's head by twenty feet and would have been a home run on any field. Ground rules, however, kept him from circling the bases. He was forced to go back to third, but later scored when Robertson dropped Manush’s fly. • • • IT AD Robertson caught that ball the game might have gone on indefl- nitely. The ball was close in and chances are that Smith would have held third. Billy Smith made a good move when he yanked Holland and sent Manush to bat in his place. Before I finish this story I want to say a few words about Billy Smith, manager of the Atlanta baseball club. I have been on his club for two seasons and can truthfully say that there isn’t another manager in base ball to-day who labors under the strain this man does. True, he doesn’t play, but if he was an active member of the team it would ,be better for him. I watched him during several stages of yester day’s game and it is really surprising to me that he didn’t collapse. He is without a doubt one of the hardest losers in the country to-day, but a good fellow with 1L • • • \\T ELL, the big series is over, but we still have a chance to cop the rag. * V Remember, to-day’s game is just as important as any of the bat tles just finished. The Crackers must win to-day if they hope to cop the pennant. I will be out there for one, and I hope that another record- breaking crowd will be out to cheer the gamest ball club Atlanta has ever had to another victory. The fans that are out at Poncy to-day will also have an opportunity of getting the scores of the Mobile-New Orleans game. They will be posted aa ttKB yruTMfraid, W E’RE still there, because we won. We would be more there, but w’e lost, too—lost the second game because we didn’t win it. We won one and we lost, too, be cause we didn’t win two. Try that over on your typewriter. It looks sort of suspicious to us. * * • DOYS, that was one ball game! Everybody thought so. Every body saw it. It was a grand afternoon for second-story men. Most of the houses in this town were depopulated. Also, most of the dinner conversa tion last night was in husky whis pers. Also, it was about the ball game that was, and the ball game that wasn’t, but ought to have been. And about the pennant that may be —AND OUGHT TO BE. if right reallv does prevail and a mighty uphill bat tle is to be rewarded. • * • *T"HE Crackers won the final game 1 of the series by whipping the Gulls. This time they outplayed as well as outfought the enemy, and only the weakening of Gil Price’s over worked arm in the seventh inning saved the doomed Gulls from a dis tinguished licking within the nine rounds prescribed for an ordinary ball game. It was on the heels of the seventh inning disaster that the courage of the Crackers flashed more brightly athwart the gray horizon than ever before in all their desperate, grueling grind of eighteen victories out of twenty games. Price yielded under the savage at tack of th£ Gulls, but Elliott Dent’s great heart and arm and Chapman’s deadly whip mastered the onslaught and fought back the invaders until the final crack of victory in the tenth. ... AND it wap an honest victory, well •'A earned, for Pug Cavet, blinders and all, was pitching a grand game of ball after a bad start—a gritty, calculating, heady game, that rated him for all time with 15,000 Atlanta fans as a pitcher of courage and ster ling ability. Had it not been for the yielding of Price, we would have been helped to a hall game by the cracking of the Gulls in the first two rounds. As it turned out. we smashed out a victory that was earned to the core. • * * AND there is small doubt in 15.000 *"A minds that the Crackers would have taken the second game and the lead in the pennant chase—would eventually have won that terrifically - fought-for flag—but for the grave mismanagement of the club directors in arranging the play-off of the drawn battle of the day before. ...
