Joe Agler Holds Enemy to 15 Hits in Great Pitching Duel in Benefit Game
WEALTH OF FEATURES DISPLAVED FOR 2,DM FANS
By O. 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, amorfg other things,
a great pitching duel between Joe
Agler, sport writer, expert first-sack.

limes) and John D. Rockefeller Voss.
Joe’s performance was especially
notable. He let the opposition down
with only fifteen hits. Joe’s* support,
while brilliant and gilt-edged, wob
bled slightly, however, and several of
the seven errors might be said to
have had something to do with the
ten runs made by the enemy.
Still, Joe’s performance was
notable.

The Count was indeed playing in
tough luck, but he hit the pill every
time up, and it was not his fault if
some loafer should be banging around
where he couldn't get out of the way
of it.
After the game, the Count was re
quested for some expert explana
tion of his neglect to hit where they
weren’t.

\i R Voss also was hit rather lre-
^ 1 quently, particularly by Mr. Ag
ler. his slab opponent. If all Mr.
Vo ©s’ 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 compiled six
errors, as against seven by the Bi»-
lands.
In the matter of runs, which was
of a somewhat secondary' considera
tion. the W. Smith pitcher suffered
only six tallies to be extracted from
his system, evidently partaking of

by the Atlanta Athletic Club, was in
progress.
The toughest struggles oi the aft
ernoon, and the most brilliant match,
was that In which Carl Ramspeck 1
was eliminated from the list by
Bryan Grant, in a desperate match
that required all three sets, one of
them a long deuce affair, to settle it.
Carleton Smith kept easily on his
way, winning his matchin the sec
ond 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 and Grant, interruptirig

The Count declined. That Is. his
explanation was entirely too heavy
for the proofreader to handle.
T\ jANAGER 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 wus 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 stood by us from start
to finish, and 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 roils 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 sat on
the ball quite a while, but it declined
to hatch.
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.
VY/ALLOP SMITH established a
** new benefit game record for
put-outs. He had eleven in the of
ficial score, consisting largely of pop
files.

C<> it was a great game, and the
° fan* did their part nobly, turn
ing oat as if to a regular game—a
tremendous improvement on the usual
style in benefit contests. About 2.000
were at the game, and a good many
who couldn’t go bought tickets. So
it was a pretty substantial token of
appreciation for the boys.

But Why Sadd.e Bill imsth Wi.h Results of Dissension in Finnland?
MEMPHIS PAPER SEEMS PEEVED AT GULLS’ DEFEAT
By 0. B. Keeler.
O 'JR 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, dis
sension.
Far be It from us, living at this
distance from the seat of the alleged
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 about it.
• •
p UT The N.-S. w T riter appears to
have a whole snootful of inside
information.
He even rakes up old scores in the
incident of a Certain Director of the
Gulls, w’ho Is .naid, 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 stuff
Mike was up against.
• * «
RANTING our News-Scimmetrical
friend to be correctly primed, we
sympathize deeply w'lth 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 hip cohorts out on the
ball field with no idea whether Cavet
or Hogg is to pitch, or if Schmidt
is to toil back of the wood or in
center field, because the instructions
from headquarters have been delayed
in transit.
We remark again, it is indeed sad.
Even tough.
<* • •
D ITT it occurs to ua as being faint-
ly in order to protest mildly and
amiably against Mr. News Battle-Ax’s
evident implication that Billy Smith’s
laurels are anywise tarnished as a
consequence of the managerial sor
rows of Mr. Finn.
• * «
I T may possibly be recalled that Mr.
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 was rather more than a
trifle of tough luck in the behavior
of Mr. Alperman’s vermiform appen
dix. right at the critical juncture. And
Mr. Bailey’s ribs gave way at pre
cisely the same time. And Mr. Calvo
proved of low-grade filler instead of
straight Havana, besides breaking a
wing. And Mr. Chapman turned an
ankle wrong-side out. And Mr. Dent’s
digestion suddenly gave way. And
Mr. Long was out with a congested
lung for several day®.
And some other things.
All in the last drive to the wire.
• C •
W IIIGH little alibis never would
have seen the light of day, in
view ol’ the happy ending of the
crool war, had it not been for the
added litter thev shed on the last
drive of Mr. Billy Smith, and (Just

a little bit) because of the evident
uneasiness of the News Cleaver.
* * *
IT also is suggested that kindly and
* beneficent umpiring aided the
Crackers to trim the Memphis club
in the final series here, and also cut
into the Mobile series.
And the Turtles’ official organ even
makes ui-ie 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
things rather than kindly and benefi
cent.
And that goes for the home clnb,
and the visitor®.
The umpiring in the series men
tioned was uncertain.
That was the worst of it. A calm
reflection, with the reverberation® 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 is
^ reported to be going to Memphis
next season to manage the Turtles.
That is a consoling thought; a c.e.
of Balm in Gilead for the raw places
left in our memory by the mistreat
ment of Mr. Finn by the directorate
of the Gull®.
We feel comfortingly certain that
The News-Scimitar will hang, like
the well-known Can-Opener of Da
mocles, over any attempt by the Pow
ers to hamper Mr. Finn in the exer
cise of his managerial function.
And optimism must prevail.
