DKAKSI MNDAY AA1KKH AN. ATLANTA, HA.. SI ,\DAY, SKPTKMHKK ' 3 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. 1! ended at twenty-three minutes 5 o’clock yesterday afternoon, aft "hen Roland HoweUl. the lanky 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.

Indicated first the ch and then the gate with a man datory thumb. 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. Johnson refused to bite at a high one and then toon a strike on a fast ball that cut • h j plate He missed a fast Jo- shoot for his second strike. Johnson was called out on a beautiful curve bn 11. Graham, the ex-Gracker catcher, then stepped to the plate, Thompson shot the first ball over the plate for a strike Graham fouled the next ball to right that for a time looked safe A fast ball went outside.

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. Kraft making two sensational catchy of high foul balls, and McKillen pulled one down in left field that was made after a long, hard run. Gul!3 Won in Third. 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 bile and lasted until the ninth round, 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.

A long wrangle took place between the police and Elberfeld and the former then pulled hie club an the Chattanooga manager. Elberfeld was handled like a criminal. The crowd swarmed all over the grounds. One policeman heid Elberfeld while the other hit the scrappy manager in ttie face with his fist Elberfeld Htill refused to leave the field walking to the Chattanooga bench. Rudderham then pulled his watch, threatening to forfeit the game. The umpire a. to called the policeman for striking Elberfeld.

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. Mobile had tied Atlanta and has a groat chance to win the pennant now. greater anyhow than in that awful ninth to-day. The box score: Mobile. ab. r. h. po. a. e.

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.

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.
