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. V. Rainwater and R. G. Blanton are among the survivors in the first flight, with Hamilton Block, Lowry Arnold and C. E. Corwin eliminated. Following are the results. First Flight—First Round. J. L. Graves defeated J. L. Derr, 5 up and 4 to play. C. V. Rainwater defeated R. A. Richards by default. W. R. Tichenor defeated E. ?. Winston. 6 up and 5 to play. First Fli**l.t—Second Hound. C. V.

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. Carleton Smith defeated E. D. Cintz. 6—1, 6—2. Doubles. (Second Round.) Whiteside and Smith defeated Al bert and Reynolds by default. (Third Round.) Ramspeck and Orr defeated Lee 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. By 0. B. Keeler. 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 might be called a number of other Crackers Leavi •Fad* •*•••*• d‘44* nf nun £ for Knoxville -£•••5- -i-I-*-!- Players Pull Dc T T TILLIAM ANDREW SMITH 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. • • • Miller Huggins, manager of the Car dinals. has been given assur^ice by the owners that he will be at tffe head of the team again next year. The own ers think that Huggins, with the ma terial In hand, has done remarkably W’ell this season. • • • The Oianfs got away to a nice start 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-lnnlng pitching duel betw'een Eppa Jeppa RTj Doak, a 191 things rather than ki/idly and benefl. cent And that goes foil the home club, and the visitors. The umpiring in the series men tioned was uncertain That was the work of it. A calm reflection, w’ith the fvverberatlons of recent strife dying In the distance, stirs up no flagrant acample of either club getting a decisive advantage by maladministration of Justice. V • » r) H. and by the w%y—Mr. Finn is reported to be gdng to Memphis next season to manaje the Turtles. That Is a consoling thought; a c.c. of Balm In Gilead for the raw places left In our memory ly the mistreat ment of Mr. Finn by the directorate of the Gulls. We feel comforting^- certain that The News-Scimitar till hang, like the well-known Can-4pener of Da mocles, Over any attemu by the Pow ers to hamper Mr. Fir* In the exer cise of his managerial function.
