Joe Agler Ho ds Enemy to 15 Hi s in Great Pitching Duel in Be::e ii Game
WEALTH OF FEATURES DISPLAYED FOR 2,000 FANS
By O. B. Keeler.
r HE final appearance of the
champions of 1913 at Ponce
DeLeon — the much - heralded I
Benefit game—offered a couple of J
housiml tans, among other things, j
t great pitching duel between Joe
^gler, sport writer, expert first-sack,
r. and fork-hand pitcher i sonic-
mes) and John 1>. Rockefeller Vow.
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
SLpjr’ seven errors might be said to
have had something to do with the
; »n runs made by the enemy.
Still, Joe’s performance m a s
notable.

Virt. \’< >SS also was hit gather fro
fluently, particularly by Mr. Ag
.er, his slab opponent. If all Air.
Voss’ enemies had made a.‘ many j
hits as Mr. Agler, Mr. Voss would
have yielded a total of 45, which j
would come near being a record for j
modern baseball.
Mr. Voss’ support, however, was)
somewhat off. It only complied six
errors, as against seven by the Bh»-
iunds.
In the matter of runs, which was
am’ a somewhat secondary considera
tion, the \Y. Smith pitcher suffered
only »ix tallies to be extracted from
Ills system, evidently partaking of
•me of his famous namesake's pro
clivities.
L2 » the \\ il t Smiths won the game
^ and Manager Billy Smith played

regular put-out, besides showing a
remarkable whip and a couple of hits, j

Fast Play in A. A. C. In Brilliant Match
Golf Tournament In 3d Tennis Round
One record -the speed record—bids
fair to be broken in the annual golf
championship a*!’ t^e Atlanta Athletic
Club being ’ ’ayed at East Lake 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 wns uniformly good, as well
as rapid. A number of matches re
quired extra holes to decide then,
though the first flight contents were
rather lop-sided. W. K. Tichenor, 0

The fireworks began on the East
Lake tennis courts yesterday after-
muni. where the third round of play
j in the Cotton States tourney, held
b> the Atlanta Athletic Club, was in
progress.
The toughest struggle of 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
1 them a long deuce affair, to settle it.
Carleton Smith kept easily on hia
, way, winning his match in 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 ( titer and Grant, interrupting
a grand struggle after the first set,
which went to the former. 8—6.
The semi-finals in singles will be
j played this afternoon.
Following are yesterday’s results:
Singles.
(Second Round.)
E. S. Mansfield defeated E. W.
Ramspeck. 6—1, 8—6.

The Count declined. That is. his
explanation was entirely too heavy
for the. proofreader to hrtndle.
NAGER 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,
”1 want to thank you fans for ail
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.
Vnd 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

RANTING our News-Scimmetrical
v 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 Ills* cohorts out on the
ball field with no idea whether Cavet
or Hogg is to pitch, or if Schmidt
is to to!! back of the wood or in
"enter field, because the Instructions
from headquarters have been delayed
in transit.
We remark again, if 5s indeed sad.
Even tough.

B UT it occurs to us as being faint
ly in order to protest mildly and
amiably against Mr Newn Battle-Ax’s
evident Implication that Hilly Smith'*
laurels are anywise tarniehed 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. Trie 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’s vermiform appen
dix. riaht 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 days.
And some other things.
All in the last drive to the wire.
