Joe Ag/er Holds Enemy to 15 Hits in Great Pitching Duel in Benefit Game
WEALTH OF FEATURES DISPLAYED FOR 1(H)# FANS
By O. B. Keelor.
T HE final appearance of the
Champions of 1913 at Ponce
DeLeon — the much - heralded
benefit game—offered a couple of
thousand fans, among 1 other things,
a great pitching duel between Joe
Agler, sport writer, expert first-sack.
?r. and fork-hand pitcher (some- |
limes) and John I). 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 w a s
notable.
• • •
\| R. VOSS also was hit rather fre-
i ’ 1 quently, particularly by Mr. Ag
ler. his slab opponent. If all Mr.
Voss’ enemies had made an many
hits as Mr. Agler, Mr. Voss would
have yielded a total of 46. which
would come near being a record for
modern baseball.
Mr. Voss’ support, however, was
•omewhat off It only compiled six
errors, as against seven by the Bis*-
lands.
In the matter of runs, wrhich was
of a somewhat secondary considera
tion, the W Smith pitcher suffered
only six tallies to be extracted from
his system, evidently partaking of
some 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-out, besides showing a
remarkable w f hip and a couple of hits,
just to prove he was still there.
• • •
C 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 determined air. besides a supply
of baseballs, and there were not more
than forty protests on his decisions
In any one inning.
• * *
C PEAKING of G. Winters, that re-
^ doubtable veteran slammed one
beautiful home run up the side of
the Red Mountain in right field, pull
ing up safely at second just ahead of
Carl Thompson’s three-furlong peg.
George ran after several hits In his
ward, too, and Croat Holliday was
there to make the relay.
• • «
IN addition to a fine curve ball, Joe
1 Agler showed a disposition to
catch foul* back of the plate. Once
I he ran in nearly to the grandstand
and took a high pop to great ap
plause by Mr. Wahoo, who was catch
ing.
• • •
C OUNT CASTRO played shortstop
for the victorious team. His bat
ting was n 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 hanging around
where he couldn’t get out of the way
of it.
After the game, the Connt 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,
Golf Tournament
One record—the speed record—bids
fair to be broken in the annual golf
championship of the Atlanta Athletic
Club being stayed at East I>ake this
week. The cool, crisp weather has
had its effect on the play, and yes
terday afternoon found both the first
and second rounds in all flights com
pleted, and the pairings narrowed
down to the^third round.
Play was ^uniformly good, as well
as rapid. A r number of matches re
quired extra holes to decide them,
though the first flight contests wero
rather lop-sided. W. R. Tichenor, C.

Grant-Ramspeck
In Brilliant Match
In 3d Tennis Round
The fireworks began on the Eakt
| I^ake tennis courts yesterday after
noon, where the third round of play
in the Cotton States tourney, held
by the Atlanta Athletic Club, was in
progress.
The toughest struggles of the aft
ernoon, and the most brilliant match,
was that In which Carl Ramspeck
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 hla
way, winning his match in the sec-
i ond round and again In the third
I round by comparatively soft scores.
’ Darkness put an end to the doubles
match between Mansfield and Smith
and Carter and 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:
Single*.
(Second Round.)
E. S. MausAeld defeated E. W.
Ramspeck, 6—1, 8—6.
Vernon McMillan defeated R. B
i Scott, 6—4, 6—1.
E. D. Cintz defeated Frank Owens,
i 6—2. 6—4.
I Carleton Smith defeated M O.
Tupper, 6—1. 6—2. /
(Third Round.)
Ed Carter defeated D. H. Starr
6—0, 6—1.
B. M. Grant defeated C. M. Ram
speck. 6—4, 8—10. 6—4.

bert and Reynolds by default.

Douglas and Smith. 6—4. 6—0.
Men’s Consolation Singles.
(Second Round.)
J K Orr defeated C. A. Raw son,
6—0, 6 -0.
The Count declined. That is. his
explanation was entirely too heavy
for the proofreader to handle.
• • •
•jV/rANAGER 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,
w’ell worded, and to the point.
“On behalf of the boys,’’ said BUI,
“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 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 trifle 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.
• • •
OAT HOLLIDAY, a candidate for
Joe Agler’s job at first, played
a nice game. His bright particular
stunt whs circling the bases on a
single, an error by Thompson and
another by Wahoo.
• • •
YY/ALLOP SMITH established a
** new benefit game record for
put-outs. He had eleven In the of
ficial score, consisting largely of pop
flies.
• • •
CO it was a great game, and the
^ fnns did their part nobly, turn
ing o Jt 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 a a Voss
* took Rlsland’s bounder and
to'-sed out the Tlest Shortstop 1n the
World. There was a crisp breeze,
and It carried the tang of autumn.
A hint of gold that was not of the
low sun's rays touched the trees in
the distance outside the great park.
And the fan.* were sort of quiet
as they filed out.
The baseball season of 1913 was
over.

O UR 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
coifimlttee, groundkeeper and bat-
boy of his ex-club.
Frankly, we don’t pretend to know
anything about It.
• • •
nUT The N.-S. writer 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, 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 stuff
Mike was up against.
• * •
(“1 RANTING our News-Scimmetrical
friend to be correctly primed, we
sympathize deeply with Mr. Finn m
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 his 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.
tVe remark again, it *s indeed sad.
Even tough.
• • •
D UT 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’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 tnan 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 i
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 da\s
And some other things.
All in the last drive to the wire.
a • •
W HICH little alibis never would
have seen the light % of day, in
view of the happy ending of the
crool war. had it not been for the
added lueter tliev 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 £lub
in the final series here, and also cut
Into the Mobile series.
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

Y/V' 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
)wn $150 Apiece
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 $3,500, 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.
f FODDER FOR FANS |
Murray, the French right fielder, yes
terday demonstrated that his title of
“the best throw’ers in the National
League,” is no misnomer, by throw^g
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 afreet his batting eye.
He whanged out two doubles yester
day.
• • •
Hans Wagner, the aged shortstop of
the Pirates, may be slowing up as a ball
player, but it wasn’t especially noticea
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 T^eague, annexing two
hits out of four attempts, while the Nap
clubber got only one out of four times.

The “lucky seventh” figured in the
Re.d Sox victory over the Tigers yes
terday. the Boston boys driving in two
runs which put the game on ice.

The Ffeds touched up “Hub" Perdue
for five runs in the first inning of yes
terday’s game, which were enough to
give them the battle, although the
Braves made a nice rally later in the
fray.
• * *
Once again the Naps had a chance to
cut dow'n the lead of the Athletics and
once again the Naps spurned it. The
White Sox administered a beating to
the leading Philadelphians, whereupon
the Naps proceeded to drop another
game to the Senators.
• • •
Cleveland's chances of winning the
pennant this year may now be looked
upon as about a 50 to 1 shot. The Naps
have but 19 games to play and are six
games behind the Athletics. To grab
off the flag the Naps, just now’ plavlng
a poor game of ball, must win all of
their remaining games, while the Ath
letics ran afford to drop six and still
win out.
