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. 0 9 • f^HAPMAN was suffering from a strained back, so he umpired Once in a while he got the sema phores crossed in the matter of balls and strikes, and once he called George Winter safe with one hand and out with the other, so that the unfor tunate George could not possibly have followed directions without being twins But Chappy had a noble voice and a determ ned air besides a supply of baseballs, and there were not mor» than forty protests on his decisions in any one inning. QfPEAKING of G. Winters, tlisti re- ^ doubtable veteran slammed one beautiful home run up the side of he Red Mountain in right field, pull • ng up safely at second just ahead of Carl Thompson’s three-furlong peg ieorge ran after several hits in his ward. too. and Goat Holliday was .here to make the relay. • • * IN addition to a fine curve ball, Joel * Agler showed a disposition to ! teb foul ’ back of the plate.

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 for the proofreader to handle. M Crisp Weather Makes 1 Grant-Ramspeck Fast Play in A. A.

The cool, crisp weather hus had its effect on the play, and yes terday afternoon found both the first and second rounds in all flights com pleted, and th*- pairings narrowed down to the third round. Play was uniformly good, as well as rapid. A number of matches re quired extra holes to decide then, though the first flight contests werJ rather lop-sided. VV. R. Tlchenor, C V. Rainwater and R. G. Blanton are among the survivors in the first flight, with Hamilton Block, Lowrv Arnold and C. E. Corwin eliminated. Following are the results. F.rst Flight—First Round. J. L. Graves defeated J. L.

The fireworks began on the East I I ake tennis courts yesterday after noon. where the third round of play j In the Cqtton States tourney, held by the Atlanta Athletic Club, was In | progress. : The toughest struggles of the aft- 1 emoon, and the most brilliant match. 1 was that in which Carl Ramspeck I was eliminated from the list by I Bryan Grant, in a desperate match I that required all three sets, one of i them a long deuce affair, to settle it. Carleton Smith kept easily on his way, winning his match in the sec- ; end round and again in the third round by comparatively soft scores. Darkness put an end to the doubles match between Mansfield and Smith and Carter ami Grant, interrupting a grand struggles after the first set, which went to the former. 8—6. The semi-finals in singles will be ! played this afternoon. Following are yesterday’s results: Singles. (Second Round.) E. S. Mansfield defeated E. W. Ramspeck, 6—1, 8—6. Vernon McMillan defeated R.

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. • • • CAM WOODWARD and Charley ^ Wahoo completed the list of rook ies for the game, and each distin guished himself by a triple. Charley, in addition, rushed the football sea son a tr’fle and fell on the ball after getting hold of a wild peg from some where in the outskirts. He Mat on the ball quite a while,- but It declined to hatch. • • • P OAT HOLLIDAY, a candidate for ^ Joe Agler's job at first, played a nice game. His bright particular stunt was circling the bases on a single, an error by Thompson and another by Wahoo. • • • \Y/ ALLOP SMITH established a vv new benefit game record for put-outs. He had eleven in the of- score, consisting largely of pop flies. • • * C ‘ it was a great gFirne. and the fans did their part nobly, turn- inir o it as if to a regular game—a tremendous 'mprovement on the usual style ’n benefit contests About 2 006 • ere at th» game, and a good many who couldn't go bought ticket.

O LJIt old friend, The Memphis News-Scimitar, comments In its always breezy and enter taining manner on the untoward end ing of the late campaign generaled by the Hon. Mique Finn, of Gullville, and lays the »brodie of the smiling Irish man to that well-known cause, dls- I seusion. Far be it from us, living at this! distance from the seat of the alleged I war, to go Into any authentic dis cussion of Mike’s relations with the president, directors, stockholders, board of governors, entertainment committee, groundkeeper and bat- boy of his ex-club. Frankly, we don't pretend to know anything abcut it. • o • 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.

And the Turtles’ official organ even makes use of that pessimistic term, “outside influence.” Putting it with all the fairness and candor the typewriter will stand, it sticks in our craw that the umpiring might be called a number of other Crackers Leave for Knoxville +•+ +•+ +•+ •i- • V +•+ Players Pull Down $ 150 Apiece W JILLIAM ANDREW SMITH and the champion Crackers of 1913 departed from Atlan ta at 7 o’clock this morning on the 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 pitch the series, and it is expected that the champs, with nearly their full power in the lir.e-up, will have an easy time with the minor leaguers. The net results from the benefic game and sundry subscriptions to taled about $2,500, to be divided among the members of the club, so that each man received about $150 js his share. The boys expressed mu ti satisfaction at the way they had been treated in Atlanta, and spoke of their prospects of returning next year with lively anticipation. FODDER FOR FANS Murray, the French right fielder, yes terday demonstrated that his title of "the best throwers in the National League," is no misnomer, by throwing out at first base two Pirates who had cleanly hit into his district. • * * The Dodgers with Rucker in the box took the opening game of the final series from the Cubs yesterday. « * • Meyers, of the Giants, continues to convince the populace that his month's lay-off did not affect his batting eye. He whanged out two doubles yester day. on their final Western invasion which will settle the pennant race in the old league by trouncing the Pirates in rather easy fashion. * * • The Phillies skidded still further away from fulfillment of their pennant dreams yesterday by losing out to the Cardinals in a ten-inning pitching duel between Eppa Jeppa Rixey, the spire-like, and Doak, a 1913 recruit of the Cardinals. • • * The Browms turned a mean trick on the Yanks yesterday. They permitted the New Yorkers to get a five-run lead, which made the New Yorkers gleeful as victory yesterday would just about of last place in Hans Wagner, the aged shortstop of lifted them out the Pirates, may he slowing up as a ball • ^ e American League.

The umpiring in the series men tioned was uncertain. That was the worst of it. A calm reflection, with the reverberations* of recent strife dying in the distance, *tirs up no flagrant example of either club getting a decisive advantage by maladministration of justice. • * • H. and by the way—Mr Finn it reported to be going to Memphis next season to manage the Turtles. That is a consoling thought; a c.c. of Balm in Gilead for the raw places left in our memory by the mistreat ment of Mr. Finn by the directorate of the Gulls*. We feel comfortingly certain that The News-Sclmltar will hang, like the w r ell-known Can-Opener of Da mocles, over any attempr by the Pow ers to hamper Mr. Finn in the exer cise of his managerial function.
