ATLANTA,
Only Left-Hander on Cracker
Squad “Does Things” on His
Second Start of Season,
By
Tom Martin.
T HOSE Crackers are like the lit
tle girl who "when she was good
was very, very Rood, and wnen
she was bad she was horrid.” Yester
day was one of the days, so it appears
from the box score, when they were
very, very good, and home fans are
beginning to brighten Just the tiniest
bit. The Gull game proved that the
Crackers, if properly approached, can
hit, and went further In proving that
"Lefty You Know Me” Allen’s start
against the Pelicans out at the gar
den here was pretty much of a mis
take and the result of a poor get
away.
* * *
EFTY,” on his first time out in a
*-* regular game, walked seven
men up to the beginning of the fifth,
when he was yanked, and was the re
cipient of a remark from Billy Smith
to the effect that he couldn’t pitch a
ball up an alley. That was supposed
to be the last word in call-downs, and
Allen twirled his thumbs and kept
quiet until started against, the Mo-
bileites yesterday.
What the portsider did is history.
Three hits he allowed, and not a Gull
got as far as third base, while only
two of them had the luck to touch sec
ond. In the pinches he emulated the
well known Gibraltar, and was abso
lutely impregnable. And the fact that
he was going like a house afire seemed
to put a sort of an inspiration into his
teammates, who clouted the ball to all
comers of the lot and drove home the
bacon. Sympathetic swatting, it
might well be called.
* * •
F IRST and foremost in the realm of
swat was Roy Joseph Moran, cen
ter fielder of repute, who has been
doing everything but hit since the
season opened. To show that he still
retained some of the stuff that made
him famous on the Coast, he stepped
into a couple of Gudger’s fast ones
yesterday for a homer that cleared
the fence and a triple of the slashing
variety, both of which scored a man
ahead of him. This return to form of
Moran surely must have been a grin-
producer to Manager Smith, who has
been urging, entreating and doing
about everything else to get the lit
tle outfielder to hit his stride and
start something with the stick.
* * *
D IG BILL RUMLER is going to stick
In the outfield for some time to
come, according to word from Mana
ger Smith this morning. Bill says the
big fellow works like a charm in the
pasture, and tears the cover off the
ball every time he hits it. All of which
should be pretty good news to the
fans, because if there was one thing
the team appeared to need during its
start here, it was hitters of the clean
up variety.
* * *
A CCORDING to word from Mobile
** to-day, Manager Smith is going to
start Frank Browning, diminutive
right-hander, in the last game with
the Schmidtmen. Frank worked the
latter part of a game that was lost be
fore he went in at Ponce DeLeon, and
has been after Billy to give him a
chance to start off one by himself,
assuring the pilot that he would go
the distance. He says he looks for a
great year this year, and the way he
starts off to-day will have a whole lot
of bearing on whether he means what
he says or not.

Cubs Ordered to
Pay Hageman Bonus
For Last Season
CINCINNATI, April 20.—The Chicago
Nationals have been ordered by the Na
tional Baseball Commission to pay to
Player K. M. Hageman $240, the bonus
called for in his 1914 contract, and also

the season was over, they were only
indebted to him for half the bonus. The
club did not include the bonus clause
In his 1915 contract, although his 1914
contract stated that such a clause
should be inserted in his 1916 contract.

Watch Crackers Go, Bisland Says

Team Uncorks Some Swat Ability
By Captain Rivington Bisland.
M OBILE, April 20.—In the second game of the series here we
had no trouble whatever in winning, as the score of 7 to 0
shows, due to the fact that the Crackers have emerged
from their hitting slump. Our hits came with men on in the sixth
and seventh innings, scoring all our runs in those two frames.
“Lefty” Allen’s pitching was by far the feature of the con
test. He let the Gulls down with three hits. Watch now, he will
win more than fifty per cent of his games, since he has gained the
confidence all young pitchers need

NEW YORK FIGHT RESULTS.
NEW YORK.. April 20.—"Billy" Sun

Kellar In ten rounds last night. Mickey
Dunn shaded Jack Irving in ten rounds.
Jack White, of Philadelphia, and Kid
Miller, of Baltimore, fougnt a ten-round
draw. Jack Hayes stopped Hugh Mc
Donnell in the third round. Joe Jea
nette, negro heavyweight, knocked out
Jack Brooks, another negro, in the
fourth round.
when breaking into a faster league.
This is an early prediction, but I am
confident it is true.
Roy Moran’s home run and three-
base hit also deserve mentioning, both
wallops being of the pinch variety,
driving in a man ahead of him each
time. Roy, it seems, is now in his
proper stride, and when "Hack”
Eibei gets started hitting the old pill
to all four corners of the lot our club
will be very hard to beat.
* • •
pOR five innings we could not do a
* thing with Jim Gudger, but In
the sixth we started the fireworks.
After Bowden was disposed of, Wil
liams singled over the pitcher’s head.
"Hack” forced Williams at second.
Moran then tripled to right, "Hack”
scoring our first run. On my single
to left Roy tallied. On Rumler’s triple
against the right field fence I scored.
The way Jim Allen was pitching
three runs were plenty, but in order
to make it safe we put four more
across in the seventh. On Jenkins’
tap Gudger threw bad to first and Joe
was safe. Allen struck out. Jen
kins counted on Bowden s three-sack
swipe to left center. Williams hit to
right for two sacks, scoring Tim. On
a passed ball Otto pulled up at third.
"Hack" took three healthy swings.
Moran came through with a circuit
swat over the right field fence, scor
ing Williams ahead of him, and
things were on ice.
* * •
TD UMLER looks awfully good in the
^ outfield, and his slugging will
add a tower of strength to the Crack
er line-up. Bill Smith realized be
was too valuable to keep on the
bench, and with two great young
catchers like Jenkins and Neiderkorn
to do the back-stopping, Billy has
very little to worry about.
