MEMPHIS PAPER SEEMS PEEVED AT GULLS’ DEFEAT 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. • 00 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 center Held with much eclat and a i regular put-out, besides showing a remarkable whip and a couple of hits, j .just to prove he was still there. • 00 PHAPM \N was suffering from a j v strained back, go he umpired Once in a w hile he got the serna- j phores crossed In the matter of balls | and strikes, and once he called Georg 1 ; Winter safe with one hand and out j with the other, so that the unfor- : tunat ■ (1 »orge could not possibly have ' followed directions without being t twins Rut (’happy had a noble voice ami a determined air besides a supply of baseballs, and there w ere not more than forty protests on his decisions in any one inning. • • • CPEAKING of U. Winters, that re- ^ doubtable veteran slammed one beautiful home run up the side of: 0 • ng up safely at second just ahead »f ; '«ir! Thompson’s three-furlong peg George ran after several hits in his j ward, too. and Goat Holliday was) there to make the relay. 0 0* IN addition to a fine curve ball, Joe * Agler showed a disposition to ateh foulr back of the plate. Once j • e rnr. in nearly to the grandstand ! Look z. high nop to great ap- j plans** bv Mr. Wahoo, who was catch- in*. • • • /'’* U’NT CASTRO played shortstop fot’ the victorious team. His bal ling was a feature of the struggle hi> being the only man in the line-up not making at least one hit off #100 The fount 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 Count was re quested for some expert explana tion of his neglect to lilt where they weren't. Crisp Weather Makes l Grant-Ramspeck 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 V. Rainwater and R G. Blanton ire among the survivors in the first flight, with Hamilton Block, Lowry Arnold and C. K. Corwin eliminated. Following arc thi esults First Flight—First Round. J. L. Graves defeated J L.

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. Vernon McMillan defeated R.

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 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 .-*it on the ball quite a while, but it declined to hutch. p OAT HOLLIDAY, a candidate for Joe Agler’s job at first, played a nice game. His bright particular stunt w is 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 ^ fans 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. S* - * it was a pretty substantial token of j appreciation for the boys. • • • THE sun was getting low as Voss * took Pislnnd’s bounder and j to.»«K»d out the Best Shortstop in the j World. There was a crisp breeze, ! and It carried the tang of autumn, j 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 fans were sort of quiet 1 as they filed out. The baseball season of 1913 was over By O. B. Keeler. O UR old friend. The Memphis j 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 Gullvllle, and lays the brodie of the smiling Irish man to that well-known cause, dif- 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. 9 « • t;T The N.-S. writer appears to D 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 Maid, 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 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. 000 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. ■ 0> • vyr'lICH 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 luster thev shed on the last drive of Mr. Billy Smith, and (Just a little bit) because of the evident uneasiness of the News Cleaver. V «• t 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 UMQ^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 FODDER FOR FANS Murray, the French right fielder, yes terday demonstrated that bis title of “the best throwers in the National League,” is no misnomer, by throw'ng out at first base two Pirates who had cleanly hit into his district. 0i « 0 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 affect his hatting eye He whanged out two doubles yester day. 000 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 qu't 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. 0 0 0 Ty Cobb yesterday made a slight gain on Joe Jackson, the leading Batter of the American League, annex ng twn (*•• out of four attempts, while the Nap clubber g**t only one out of four times. • • 0 The “lucky seventh” figured in the Red Sox victory over the Tigers yes terday the Boston boys driving in two runs which put the game on ice. 0 0 The Reds touched up “Hub” Perdue for five runs in the first inning of yes terday’s game, which w’ere 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 down 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. 000 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 ami are six games behind the Athletics. To grab things rather than kindly and benefi cent. And that goe§ for the home club, and the visitors. The umpiring in the series men tioned was uncertain. That was the worst of it. A calm reflection, with the reverberations of recent strife dying in the distance, stirs up no flagrant example of either club getting a decisive advantage by maladministration of justice. • 0 9 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.c. of Balm in Gilead for the raw places left in our memory by the rnistreat- tnert; of Mr. Finn by the directorate of tne G1111.A We feel comfortingly certain that The News-Scimitar will hang, like the well-known Can-Opener of Da mocles, over any attempc by the Pow ers to hamper Mr. Finn in the exer- off the flag the Naps, just now playing°f his managerial function a poor game of ball, must win all of And optimism must prevail, their remaining games, while the Ath letics can afford to drop six and still win out. BOXING News of the Ring Game Miller Huggins, manager of the Car dinals, has been given assurance by ihe owners that he will hr at the head of the team again next year. The own ers think that Huggins# with the ma terial in hand, has done remarkably well tills season. The Giants got away to a nice start ! on their final Western Invasion which ! will settle the pennant race In the old 1 league by trouncing the Pirates in rather easy fashion. 0 0 0 The Phillies skidded still further away | from fulfillment of their pennant dreams . yesterday by losing out to the Cardinals n a ten-inning pitching duel between [ Eppa Jeppa RTxey, the spire-like, and J Doak, a 1913 recruit of the Cardinals. • 0 • 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 n the \merican I Vague. And then the Browns in the final four innings, batted I out eight runs, giving them the game. The ATLANTA Now for a Real Show!
