CAMPBELL
He Lost His Baseball Bet Today
,Y
MOBILE, ALA., Sept. 7.—Before a roaring crowd
* of 7,000 persons, with more gathering every instant, the
Gulls and the Pels began the struggle at 3 o’clock this
afternoon that would result either in the victory and the
pennant of 1913 for Mike Finn’s fighting bunch, or in de
feat and the chimpionship for the Atlanta Crackers,
• should Charley Frank accomplish the dearest wish of
his life— to beat the Gulls in the decisive game.
As a matter cf course, Billy Campbell, the crafty
, v old southpaw, was the pitching entry for the Finnites.
Against him was pitted “Finis” Wilson, the tall fork-
hander who has had something on the Gulls most of the
' present season. Frank re-arranged his line-up for the
crucial game, and showed as much evidence of a des
perate desire to win as if he was fighting for the top
place instead of piloting a last-position club.
The veteran southpaw pitcher and umpire, Theo
dore Breitenstein, was back of the wood, while TJmipre
Hart looked over the bases. The crowd made ground
rules necessary. Play began promptly at 3 o’clock.
FIRST INNING,
Hendryx waited out Campbell and got a base on balls. Stock
*
jl. threw out McDowell on his hard bounder, and Hendryx went to
second. Kraft bit a sharp single to right and Hendryx was over
with the first run of the contest,. Flanagan hit to O'Dell and was
out to Paulet. ONE RUN, ONE HIT.
Ei-win threw out Stock, making a clever stop and peg. Starr
drew a base on balls and a lnog yell of joy rose from the big crowd.
O’Dell popped up a high one to McDowell, but Paulet reached first
on Kraft’s fumble, Starr reaching third. There was a roar as
Dave Robertson came up to the plate, but before he could hit it a
double steal was ordered and fast work by the Pels nipped Starr
at the platter, Adams to Erwin to Adams. NO RUNS, NO HITS.
if' SECOND INNING.
Miller was under Kyle’s long fly and Campbell tossed McKil-
len on his splash to the fubber. Adams caught one of Campbell’s
slants on the nose, but it flew straight into Miller’s hands. NO
RUNS, NO HITS.
The crowd gave Robertson another hand ^s he came up to
bat, and he responded with a long fly to McKillen. With the count
three and two, Schmidt hit under a curve ball and popped one a
mile high to Erwin. Erwin then absorbed Clark’s bounder and
pegged him out to Kraft. NO RUNS, NO HITS.
THIRD INNING.
With two strikes called on him, Wilson hit to Starr and was
out to Paulet. Hendryx doubled to center and Erwin laid down a
pretty bunt toward third, which he beat out by great sprinting,
Hendryx reaching third, McDowell singled to left, scoring Hen
dryx and sending Erwin to third. Kraft flied to Robertson, but
it was short and Erwin stuck to third. Flanagan flied to Clark.
ONE RUN, TWO HITS.
Wilson’s big curve was working and Miller popped to Kraft.
Hendryx took Campbell’s grounder and pegged the veteran out at
first. Stock hit a high fly to Flanagan. NO RUNS, NO HITS.
FOURTH INNING. *
Kyle hit feebly to the slab and Campbell tossed him out. Mc
Killen single to right, a clean drive, but Billy Campbell’s famous
balk motion nipped him off first, while the crowd shouted. Stock
threw out Adams. NO RUNS, NO HITS.
McDowell threw Wilson out to Starr, making a fine play on

and fanned Robertson on four pitches. NO HITS, NO RUNS.

Wilson popped to Paulet, but Hendryx got himself another

and it looked worse a moment later, when Erwin singled to cen

in, and Pug Cavet took Campbell’s place on the slab. McDowell
greeted him with a ripping drive to center, for one base, scoring j
Erwin, and going to second on the throw-in. The gloom in the!
stands could be cut with a meat-ax. Kraft supplied a bit of cheer •
by flying to Clark, and then Flanagan popped to Starr. TWO

pitches. Wilson's first pitch to Miller was wide also. Then he
slipped over a strike and wasted another ball. Then Miller hit
high in the air and Kyle was under it, Clark sticking on first.
