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. c*r. and fork-hand pitcher (some- 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. plauae by Mr. Wahoo, who was catch ing. * • * PoUNT CASTRO played shortstop for the victorious team. His bat ting was a feature of the struggle, he being the only man in the line-up not making at least one hit off Joe 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. Crisp Weather Makes Fast Play in A. A. C.

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.

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 a grand struggles after the first set, which went to the former, 8—6.

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. • • • ■"THE sun was getting low as Voss * took Blsland’s bounder and tossed out the Best Shortstop in the World.

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 CHANGE Suburban Schedule Central of Georgia Railway Effective September 14, suburban train No. 108 will leave Atlanta 6:15 p. m. instead of 6:10 p. m. Arrive Jonesboro 7:15 p. m, Adv. 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. Crackers Leave for Knoxville *•+ Players Pull Down $150 Apiece W ILLIAM 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 are 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 line-up, will have an easy time with the minor leaguers. The net results from the benefit game and sundry subscriptions to taled about 52,500, to be divided among the members of the club, so that each man received about $150 as his share. The boys expressed much satisfaction at the way they had been treated in Atlanta, and spoke of their prospects of returning next year with lively anticipation. The ATLANTA FODDER FOR FANS j 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. « « o 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. $ <if Hans Wagner, the aged shortstop of the Pirates, may be slowing up as a ball player, but It wasn’t especially noticea- I ble yesterday. Hans quit the day with ! a batting average of .500 and a fielding average of 1.000. accepting nine difficult chances without the semblance of a foozle. » « » Ty Cobb yesterday made a slight gain on Joe Jackson, the leading batter of the American League, annexing two hits out of four attempts, while the Nap clubber got only one out of four times. 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 Browns 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 a victory yesterday would just about have lifted them out of last place In the American League. And then the Browns In the final four Innings, batted out eight runs, giving them the game. YALE IS GOLF CHAMPION.
