WILLIAMS WILL
PITCH AGAINST
PELS TO-DAY
Changed Lineup Works Well
Back of Fine Pitching by
Elliott Dent.
. y
By Harry Welchonee.
TW ORLEANS, July 23.—1 n a
N well played game on a SOgZY
field the Crackers eopped the
second game of the series here yes
terday, 4 to 1.
It was raining when we reached the
ball park, but stopped in time to al
low us to start play about thirty min
utes late., It was very dark and
c¢loudy and Dobbs insisted on the
game, figuring on his speed marvel,
V\.'alker, having an easy time of it,
but the box score speaks for itself. At
that, it doesn't show hard-hit balls
one after another that went right at
some fielder,
Elliott Dent pitched Lis usual
steady game, holding the Pels in check
all the way, and they never had a
chance until the ninth inning. It was
Jennings' error on Starr's slow hit
ball that put him in bad then, but
he pegged away and the best they
could do was to score one run, which
was a long way from overcoming
our lead.
Walker was lucky in the first few
innings against us. In the second
inning with one out and men on
second and third, Dunn hit a terrific
line drive at Lindsay which he knocked
down in time to throw Bisland out
at the plate,
We were unable to get g break un
til the sixth, although we kept plug
ging all the way, believing it was
sure to come, the way we were meet
ing the ball on the nose. In the sixth,
Long hit one too hot for Lindsay. 1
singled to left after attempting to
sacrifice, and Bisland singled to cen
ter, filling the bases with none out.
‘Walker hit Jennings with the first
pitched ball, forcing Long over with
our first run. Eibel then doubled to
left cente®, scoring myself and Bis
land, Jennings going to third. Joe
Dunn hit a long sacrifice fly to left
and Jennings romped over the count
ing station with our fourth run.
The Pels scored their one run in
the ninth, when we were in a hole
for a minute. Jennings booted Starr’s
easy grounder to open the inning, and
Barbare singled to left. A pitcher
with less courage might have given
up here, but Dent worked all the
harder. Burns flied out to left, but
Lindsay singled, filling the bases. Syl
vester flied out to right, Starr scor
ing, and Bluhm lined out to Tommy
Long in left, after which Johnny
Dobbs took his help and went home.
Mutt Williams will. pitch today’s
game with Dunn catching. If the
Mutt pitches as he has in the past
few games, it's curtains for the Pels,
sure.

Federal League Can Get New
Stars at Half Price Paid by
Organized Baseball.
By 0. B. Keeler.
F‘l'\HE Jumping of Larue Kirby from
2 the Mobile Gulls to the §St,
Louis Feds is a matter for some
censideration. It has several angles,
For one thing, it is certain to prove
a sad thing for Briscoe Lord’'s club
in its pennant fight, which the Gulls
were pushing with a vigor gratifying
to the Mobile fans. The loss of Kirby
at this stage of the ;game will have
the same effect that Harry Wal
chonce's jumping would have on the
Crackers; or the loss of Knisely to
the Barons; or of Jacobsen to the
Lookouts; or—well, just pick out the
leading slugger of any Southern
League club, and deduct him from
the line-up, and cee what it means
Kirby is a good outfielder and a
prodigious walloper, Manager Lord is
a walloper himself; but his value
with the stick will be diminished by
the .absence of that other big bat,
with its terrorizing effect on the
pitcher and its resultant encourage
ment to all the rest the Gulls' at
tacking party.
L * *
A LL this is very sad for the Gulls;
much sadder than for the other
clubs, if you want to take a selfish
view of it. But there is another les
son in Mr. Kirby's defection, and it
has to do with the big leagues and
the growing power of the Federais
to harry the powers that be and make
things generally sticky and warm and
uncomfortable for them.
T HE lesson is pointed. Several big
league clubs were considering Mr.
Kirby. It was openly gossiped that
the Cubs were after him. It was a
pipe that the big fellow would go up
at the end of the yvear; probably by
sale; if not, certainly by draft.
But Mr. Kirby preferred the Feds.
Why? Let us hazard an explanation.
LE'l‘ us assume that the Cubs, cr
some other big league club, de
sired Mr. Kirby sufficiently to shall
out $6,000 or $B,OOO for him. This
would have been very fine for the
Mobile club. But Mr. Kirby would not
have fondled a cent of that $6,000 or
$B,OOO. He would have got a fairly
decent boost in pay and a try-out.
That is all. If he made good (a tick
lish business, by the way) he would
gradually have made more money.
Quite gradually.
- - *
l’l‘ is said that the St. Louis Feds
induced Mr. Kirby to jump by put
ting $4,000 in his hand and paying
him a big league salary, right off ti>
reel. Thus the bargain was advan
tageous both to the St. Louis Feds
and to Mr. Kirby. Thd Bt. Louis
Feds paid only half what a big leagu»
club would have had to pay for Mr.
Kirby; and Mr. Kirby got the same
salary, plus $4,000 in his hand.
UPON this very basis is founded the
ability of the Feds to go out and
get good ball players. Half the
amount that a big league club in or
ganized baseball would have to pay
for a star makes a very handsome
bonus, which the said star must re
gard with much affection when placed
in his own name at the bank. That
is human nature. So it comes about
that every now and then a star, or
a prospective star, is torn from the
moorings of a contract which gives
him about as many rights as a Geor
gia Senegambian 50 years before the
origin of the F(.yurteer‘uh Amendment.
-
MAINLY through the excessive
cockiness of Ban B. Johnson, or
ganized baseball scorned to combat the
the Feds on their own basis; that is,
to outbid them for every player cf
worth, and beat them from the field
by preventing them from getting hold
of any star ball players.
“Ignore them,” snorted Ban.
And now he is having a pretty
lively time doing it.
The time is likely to become liv:-
lier.

Chattanooga in the first game, ylelding:
but five scattered hits. He essayed the

inning. Quarders opened the second
game and was removed from the slab
In the fifth inning, although he had not
allowed a hit. In the seventh inning
Knisely scored an infield hit to Ens and
prevented a no-hit game. Wildness
forced him to retire. Many brilliant
