GREAT UPHILL BATTLE
IL,
Ten Thousand Fans Bank Field as
Crackers Hold Fie in the Pennant
Race by Beating the Pepper Kids,
5 to o—Police in Sorry Exhibition.
Bv O. B. Keeler.
O NCE more bays—maybe for the last time—
We’re «till THERE!
The get-away game of the 1913 season at Ponce DeLeon
went the way of eighteen of the previous twenty games there—to
the Gamest Hall Club on Earth.
The score was 5 to 0. The scrappy Pepper Kids did their
daradest—and it wasn’t enough to wrench us loose from the death-
grapple that has sent whirling up to the Hall of Fame the bright
record of that grand battle of the Fighting Chance.
Somebody e.'lse must do the fighting, now. We know Charley
Frank will go the limit against the Gulls to-day. That was fore
cast, in the grim struggle the good old Dutchman and his clan put
up yesterday.
Birt, boys—il it was Bill Smith and the Crackers trotting out
on that field at Mobile this afternoon!
Then we’d KNOW where the
pennant of 1913 would fly—
what?
As it is, we can only hope, and
pull for the Fighting Dutchman,
and tlie stubborn, crafty scrap
we know he will put up on our
side of this splendid quarrel.
It’s up to the Dutchman, now.
Our Part Is Done.
The Crackers have done their
part—and that part will go down
in history as the gamest role the
spotlight of Dixie ever shone
upon.

pitching entry for the Kids, swung at
the last of (’arl Thompson’s sweep
ing curves and rolled a little ground
er toward the slob. Joe Agler got
the put-out. and the game, and the
season, and the grim battle of the
Fighting Chance came to an end.
A feature of the game was the
ruetomary Klberfeldian row, only this
time wr must confess that the Ta
basco Kid was more row’ed against
than rowing.
In fact, the Incident looks like a

Warming Up the Pole.
Elberfeld went back and began
playing catch with the Pole once
more. Roth umpires walked over and
Pfenninger ordered him off the field.
The Kid paid no attention. He tiaid
later that he asked the (imps to al
low him to stay in until he had
warmed up Covelesklc, when he would
go. Rut whatever he said appeared
to exasperate Rudderham. who sig
nalled a couple of very large police
men standing near.
The two arms of the law' put four
legs in action and presently were at
taching four hands to outlying sec
tions of the rebellious Kid. Il really
looked like a shame for the two huge
bluecoats to start working on the lit
tle fellow, and it looked worse when
one of them, shaking the Kid by his
collar while he and his partner held
tile player’s arms, loosed his grip and
swung his free hand to Elberfeld’s
fare.
It was a dirty, cowardly art, and
one calculated to touch off the huge
crowd, which was already well along
lu hysterics.
Crowd Got Into It.
The overflow along the bleachers—
more than a thousand—came up on
the g;tHop. Chattanooga players sur
rounded the cops and their prisoner,
and it is probable that President Cal
laway of the Atlanta club prevented
something ugly by his prompt action
in jumping from the directors' box
and taking a hand in the row
Mr Callaway ordered the policemen
to release Elberfeld. und then he and
the players got the Chattanooga man
ager into the visitors’ coop while Rill
8mith and the few policemen who
showed up were shooing the crowd
back to its proper place.
Pfenninger insisted that the Kid
must depart, and pulled his watch. It
was a dramatic and tense interval,
for the Kid. furious at the bullying
treatment of the low-browed cop, was
in a mood to cause all the trouble
that a forfeited game—even to At
lanta—surely would have caused.
Kid Was a Good Sport.
But an appeal by President Calla-
ay to his sportsmanship was more
~jectual than the clubs of the Police
ipartment, and w’ithin ten seconds
the time limit set by Pfenninger
JxW shook hands with the Atlanta,
mogul, glared savagely at the then
distant policeman, and walked slowly
from the bench.,
A few minutes later he reappeared,
being visible from the press box, seat
ed with a dozer street car motormen
on top of the tall board fence that
guards the southwestern corner' of
the field, back of the stands.
For once, we felt sorry for the
scrappy Kid. And distinctly ashamed
of at least two of Atlanta's alleged
officers of the peace.
More Than 10,000 There.
Thompson’s fine pitching was the
other big feature of the Last flame—■
and the great crowd that for the sec
ond time in two days trimmed the
playing field with a solid bank of
spectators. Ten thousand is an easy
estimate of the attendance of the last
rites, which were sad only in view f
the fact that New Orleans was visi
bly being trimmed on the big score-
board by the hated enemy down In
Mobile (close harmony).
Sounding hits and fielding explo
sions produced a pair of runs in the
first inning, and similar tactics gained
two more in the third. Then Howell
became stingy and his help began to
walk on the ground, and nothing else
happened until the eighth, Carl
Thompson bain** as tight as the peel
on a billiard ball, so far as any attack
was concerned.
Add to the Record*.
Rivington Risland, commonly known
in Atlanta as The Rest Shortstop in
the World, got his accustomed pinch
lilt and put on some showy fielding
Harry Welchonce got one more hit to
cinch his record-breaking feat of ex-
cejling Huelsman's mark of 1901 in the
season; Tommy Long boosted the
league record by another run, and the
crowd would have been blissfully and
Idiotically happy—had it not been for
that visible licking the Culls were
handing the Pelicans, over on the
scoreboard.
At that, the season ended in the
wildest explosion of hilarity ever
seen here.
The crowd was edging in from the
outskirts of the field while Thompson
was fanning Pepper Kids in the
ninth, and the final play was the
signal for u roaring outburst <f
cheers and a tidal wave of bugs,
sweeping out across the field.
Then there was a Pillow Fight.
Bleacher Confetti.
Half of the bleucher occupants had
scrambled over Into the field when
their ex-pals began pelting them fu
riously with hundreds of cushions.
The presumably higher-browed
grandstand took the cue, and there
ensued a carnival of cushions.
From the elevutton of the press
coop it looked like Mardi Gras and
showers of Titanic black confetti. The
air was full of noise and leather
squares. The ground was cushioned
to a depth of several layers.
It was all in huge good humor, of
course. Rut women were being kept
prisoners In the grandstand as attack
ing thousands tried to storm the
walls, being driven back by other
thousands. And women were being
struck by the cushions, and their hats
being smashed—we saw eight girls
crowding behind one small post, with
the shower of cushions flying on
either side.
Police Active Again.
Bo the police got busy once more,
ami presently three cops came
through the crowd, each leading two
protesting victims—not over-grown.
And then, after a quarter of an
hour of celebration, the curtain came
down, the last fan wandered through
the big gate, there was a clanging ot
street cars, and the sun and the
Raseball Season of 1913 set in a blaze
of glory.
Atlanta fans—and they are a gain*
and faithful bunch, too—watched the
season wane and set in the glory’ of u
great tight by’ a grand ball dub.
More Than a Pennant in It.
The pennant is not lost, even now.
Rut if it should be—
Well, hoys, then' are BIGGER
THINGS in baseball than pennants.
One of the Bigger Things is the
uphill fight of the Crackers of 1913.
In fact, boys, that’s the BIGGEST
THING.
FIRST INNING.
The Crackers were given a great ova
tion as they trotted on the field at 3:13.
Every seat in the park was filled when
Fmpire Pfenninger cried "Play ball!’’
Ground rules were made giving the
batter three bases for a hit Into the
crowd Thompson hurled the first hall
pitched at 3:15 to King, and he was
out Rlsland to Agler. The first hall
pitched to Flick was a fast inshot that
cut the inside corner of the plate for
a strike. The next two pitches were
wide Flick caught a faHt hall for a
clean single to center Coyle watched
a curve cut the center of the pan. Coyle
singled to right and Flick took second.

OB1LE, ALA., Sept. 6 —Ry a
one-run margin on Monroe
Field this afternoon Mobile
won the first of the two-game series?
from New Orleans in a game that
bordered on sensationalism through
out the nine innings. The final score
was 4 to 3.
A crowd of nearly 4,000 people saw
the contest that perhaps settles th »
Southern League championship *or
1913.
What saved the local club was tho
taking out of Pitcher Hogg in tho
ninth inning, with three men on
bases, after he had weakened badly.
Three runs were made off his deliv
ery’ in the eighth off three successive
hits, one of them being a homo run
by Left Fielder McKillen. who was
the star of the game. He secure 1
a single, a double and a home run.
Poddy’ was given the grandest kind
of support by the men behind ntm.

of high foul balls, and McKillen
pulled one down in left field that was
made after a long, hard run.

Mobile practically won the game
in the third inning when Peddy was
touched up for four hits that score 1
three runs aided by a base on balls.
Hogg, who started to pitch for Mo

when Captain Starr, of the Mobil**
club, used his noodle and took him
out, pitched air-tight hall, allowing
Baseball Directors Reward Cracker
Manager for His Great Work
This Season.
Billy Smith, manager of the Crack
ers, has been rewarded for his* great
work in bringing the local club from
a rank tail-ender last year to the top
rung of the ladder this season The
1 directors of the Atlanta Baseball As-
I sociatlon announced yesterday that
they had extended Smith’s contract
! for another year.
The local manager’s original con
tract called for 1913 and 1914. He
will now be at the head of the club
In 1915 also. This means that Smith
will manage the Atlanta ball club
for at lea‘it two more years
Whether Mobile wins or loses to
day’s game does not take any credit
away from Smith. Had he any luck
with his pitching staff earlier in the
season he would surely have copped
the Southern League flag. Many of
the leading experts claim that the
Atlanta team, as it stands to-day .8
the greatest aggregation of ball play
er* that ever represented a Southern
League club.

McKillen Hits a Homsr.
Little McKillen, who was another
Ty Cobb all through th<i \ame, drove
the ball over right field fence for a
home run and scored the two men
ahead of him. Things began to take
on a funeral-llke appearance in the
grandstand, but McDowell hit to
short and by a great throw Stock
got his man at first, although the
decision looked close.
The real hair-raiser came in the
ninth inning for New’ Orleans, and
men, women and children all stood
aghast; in fact, you could hear the
breathing of the person behind your
back when the visiting team filled the
bases, due to the weakness of Mr.
Hogg. The San Francisco earthquake
had nothing on the excitement that
prevailed. Call after call was made
for Campbell by the stands.
It required noodlework and great
noodlework.
Kraft, the first man up, got a
scorching single through center. Hen
dryx sacrificed him to second. Flan-
nagan flied to Robertson, making the
second out. Erwin was walked, and
then Jack Adams, the Pelican catcher,
was purposely sent to first on balls.
It was Peddy’s time up, and not be
ing willing to take a chance Frank
called for Finis Wilson to bat for him.
Crowd Yells for Campbell.
Again the crowd yelled for Hogg to
be relieved, and to the relief of the
fans Campbell came forth and warm
ed up for a minute. In the meantime
Frank had changed Wilson for George
Yantz, a right-hand batter. Only one
bal lwjw thrown to Yantz and he hit
to O’Dell, w’ho threw to first and got
his man by a hair.
It was then that the crowds sat
down in their seats for a Tew seconds
and took needed breaths.

teenth the champion went into the
lead only to drop back to even terms
when he explored the depths of a
deep trap beside the home green.
It was all square w’hen the first
round was over. Just one bad hole,
the first, fell to the champion’s lot
in the afternoon. From that on his
golf was perfect, gaining every hole
in par until the end came on the
fourteenth green.
Travers’ Putting Immense.
On almost every green Travers was
"knocking at the door,” and though
not one of the long ones went down,
they were all so close that the putt
which remained was a foregone con
clusion
Anderson could not hold the pace.
The match began In the morning
under gray skies and with a compar
atively small crowd to see the early
play.
Travers was out in 43, while An
derson’s total was 41. Three per
fectly played holes marked the be
ginning of the inward journey, and a’l
were halved In par figures. Then on
the thirteenth Anderson approached
to within a yard of the cup and won
the hole with k 4, a stroke under par.
This made him 2 up.
A neat put, which caromed off An
derson’s ball, won the fourteenth for
Travers. 4 to 5, after his opponent
had approached weakly. The 425-
yard fifteenth is a hard 4, but it was
halved Jn that figure, Anderson get
ting down a difficult put. but Tra
vers did even better on the sixteenth
and was hole high with two splendid
iron shots, winning the hole, 4 to 5,
and squaring the match.
Trapped in Eighteenth Hole.
It was exactly the same story on
the seventeenth, two shots to the
green and a win for Travers in 4 to
5. The lead disappeared, however,
when the champion was traj d on
the eighteenth and Anderson made a
par 3.

A big crowd, almost as large as
that which followed Hilton at Apa-
wamls in 1911, swarmed out on the
first green when the second round be
gan. The spectators saw a poorly
played first hole, with both golfers
floundering in the big bunker in front
of the grt-en. Travers finally won, 6
to 6, and was 1 up. He had a chance
for a win in 2 on the second, but the
ball did not go down, and a moment
later Anderson missed his put for a3
and the hole went to Travers any
way, 3 to 4.
They halved the next one In 4, An
derson just missing a chance for a
3, and though both were In trouble
on the fourth, Travers saved himself
w’tih a fine approach and won in a
par. 5 to 6, for Anderson.

An Atlanta Fan Says:
* y
A S the lid of the Southern League
season of 1913 crashed with
sonorous sound that was heard
from the mountains of Tennessee to*
the shores of the sun-kissed Gulf, as
the politicians are wont to say, a deal
was consummated in the office of
Hearst’s Sunday American that made
more Southern League history than
any incident since Charley Frank
threatened to disrupt theorganization
in the winter of 1902.
Charley Frank, since the organiza
tion of the new Southern circuit in
1901, retired from active interest in
baseball. The name of the portly
Dutchman, who has led four pennant-
winners in the league’s twelve years,
ceased to be listed on the roll of
managers.
At the same time, Norman (Kid)
Elberfeld, who by his aggressive,
never-say-die methods shot Chatta^
nooga into the first division this sea
son after two years of despondency in
the cellar section, became the 1914
leader of the New Orleans Pelicans.
Castro May Join Pels.
Count Lou Castro, known the
length and breadth of the Southland,
will probably be with Frank next sea
son as utility man, coach, scout and
every other fill-in thing a ball club
needs.
For days the deal has been on the
fire. It was not declared done un
til last night. And by that deal it is
believed that New Orleans will re
sume the position of a potent factor
in Southern Leaguedom that it has
always held until this year.
The season just closing has been a
remarkable one in more ways than
one, and its most remarkable feature
cas been that a team piloted by
Charley Frank has finished not only
V
in the second division, but in abso
lutely last place, with no club se
riously contending with him for that
dubious honor.
Frank has failed ot win pennants
before, Dut he has always been
among the leaders. This season,
though, has been a disastrous one for
him. He has not only lost baseball
prestige, but he has lost big money
on the New’ Orleans franchise, which
he controls.
Elberfeld was a free agent. Hia
contract as manager of the Lookouts
ran out last night.
terms, gestttng a half in par on every
hole, though on nearly every one Tra
vers had a chance to win, while An
derson had to fight hard to get the
half.
Travars Went Out in 39.
Travers was out in 39 and Ander
son in 42, and the champion was 3 up.
The strain began to tell on Anderson
as they faced the last nine, for he
missed a two-foot putt on the tenth
and repeated the trick on the elev
enth, tossing both holes. They halved
the twelfth In three and Anderson
prolonged the match by getting down
a six-foot putt for a half on the
thirteenth.
This left Travers dormie five up
and the crowd packed itself around
the fourteenth green to see the final
putt. Travers missed a three from
40 feet away by a half an inch. An
derson tried his 20-foot putt, the ball
stopping four feet short of the cup,
and the Bostonian turned to Travers
with extended hand and cheery smile,
while the crowd clapped and cheered
the winner.
