MEMPHIS PAPER SEEMS PEEVED AT GULLS’ DEFEAT
Joe Agler Holds Enemy to 15 Mils in Great Pitching Duel in Bene.it Game
WEALTH OF FEATURES DISPLAYED FOR 2,10 FANS
By 0. B. Keeler.
T HE final appearance of the
, Champions of 1913 at Ponce
DeLeon — the much - heralded
benefit game—offered a couple of
thousand fans, among other things
a great pitching duel between Joe
Agler, sport writer, expert first-sack,
or. and fork-hand pitcher (some
times) and John D. Rockefeller Voss.
Joe's performance was especially
notable. He let the opposition down
with only fifteen hits. JoeM support,
while brilliant and gilt-edged, wob
bled slightly, however, and several of
the seven errors might be said to j
have had something to do with the I
;en runs made by the enemy.
Still. Joe's performance was
lotable.
• • •
Vf R. VOSS also was hit rather fre-
quently, particularly by .Mr. Ag
ler. his slab opponent. li' all .Mr.
Voss' enemies had made as many
hits as Mr. Agler, Mr. Voss would
have yielded a total of 45. which
would come near being a record for
modern baseball.
Mr. Voss’ support, however, was
somewhat off. It only complied six
errors, as against seven by the Bis-
lands.
In the matter of runs, which was
of a somewhat secondary considera
tion, the \V. Smith pitcher suffered
only six tallies to be extracted from
his system, evidently partaking of
>ome of his famous namesake’s pro
clivities.
• • •
CO the Wallop Smiths won the game,
and Manager Billy Smith played
center field with much eclat and a
regular put-tfut, besides showing a
remarkable whip and a couple of hits,
just to prove he was still there.

tough luck, but he hit the pill every
time up, and it anus not his fault if
some loafer should be hanging around

After the game, the Count was re
quested for some expert explana
tion of his neglect to hit where they
weren’t.
The Count declined. That is. his
explanation was entirely too heavy

I that required all three sets, one of

Carleton Smith kept easily on his
way, winning his match in the sec-

round by comparatively soft scores.
Darkness put an end to the doubles
match between Mansfield and Smith

a grand struggles after the first set,

ANAGER BILLY SMITH added
to his reputation as a speech-
maker, started at the recent * dinner
given the ball club at the Capital
City Club.
The eruption took place at the start
of the sixth inning, and was brief,
well worded, and to the point.
“On behalf of the boys,” said Bill,
"I want to thank you fans for all
you have done for the club this sea
son. You have s»tood by us from start
to finish, Hiid every man on the club
appreciates your support and thanks
you from the bottom of his heart.
And it is my earnest hope and prayer
that we see you all again, when the
season of 1914 rolls around.”
Great applause.
Bill unquestionably was there with
the oratory, and you could tell by the
way he said it that it was something
more substantial than hot air.

O UT The N.-8. writer appears to
have a whole snootful of Inside
information.
He even rakes up old scores in the
incident of a Certain Director of th*
Gulls, who is said-, several years ago.
to have risen majestically in his box
and bellowed raucous Instructions to
the perspiring manager concerning
the removal of a fluttering slabman.
That was indeed sad.
But it is not understood that the
incident had any particular bearing
on the gonfalon chase of 1913, ex
cept as illustrating the sort of stud
Mike was up against.
• • •
fY RANTING our News-Scimmetrical
friend to be correctly primed, we
sympathize deeply with Mr. Finn in
his struggles with a meddlesome
ownership.
That is one of the toughest things
in baseball.
It must be discouraging to a man
ager to lead hbi cohorts out on the
ball field with no idea whether Cavet
or Hoge is to pitch, or if Schmidt
i? to toil back of the wood or in
center field, because the instruction.-
from headquarters have been delayed
in transit.
We remark again, it Is indeed sad.
Even tough.
• • »
D’’T it occurs to us as being faint-
ly in order to protest mildly and
amiably against Mr. News Battle-Ax’s
evident implication that Billy Smith'*
laurels are anywise tarnished as a
consequence of the managerial sor
rows of Mr. Finn.
« * «
IT* may possibly be recalled that Mr.
1 Smith had a trouble or two of his
own.
Not of the directorial brand, cer
tainly. The Atlanta owners and di
rectors gave Mr. Smith carte blanche,
which is Gaelic for full swing, both
in the matter of new hands and man
agement.
That much is admitted cheerily.
But there wa* rather more than a
trifle of tough luck In the behavior
of Mr Alperman’.* vermiform appen
dix right at the critical juncture. And
Mr. Ballev’s r‘bs gave way at pre
cisely the same time. And Mr. Calvo
proved of low grade filler instead of
straight Havana, besides breaking a
w*ne. And Mr. Chapman turned an
ankle wrong-side out. And Mr. Den f ’s
digestion suddenly gave wav. And
Mr. Long was out with a congented
lune for several dav*
nd seme other things.

way to Knoxville, where they ar;
scheduled to play three games with
the Appalachian League club of that
city, beginning to-day.
Price. Dent and Thompson will

that the champs, with nearly their
full power in the lir.e-up, will have
an easy time with the minor leaguers.

prospects of returning next year with
lively anticipation.
