EV B = Crackers who‘
L 0 g predicted/ Jake
i; 49 " ' would become a
{SOO Hgin hard hitter. On
el 86V EFAI occA
sions during the past winter Mayer
spoke words of praise for Munch, and
it seems that Jake is proving that
Sam had the right opinion of his abil
ity. !
“Thers {8 no reason why Jake
shouldn’t be a .300 batter,” said Sam
my. “He always keeps the ball in
front of him, and seldom swings late.”
This is the reason that Munch hits
so many of them to left field, and
when a left-handed batter gets so
that he can place them he’s sure to
make good with the war club,
o ol ok
Just watch Jake at bat and you'll
readily see that he always takes a
good slam at the ball. Last season
Jake was rather weak against south
paw pitchers, but this iear he's hit
ting them all alike. Jake’s improve
ment at bat,\backed up by the won
derful fleldln\g game he puts up at
first, makes him a corking first-sack- |
er for any ball club.

Decatur Baffles Atlanta Batsmen
L ' |
While Nashville Solves Fullen- {

wider at Timely Moments.
» R T
BI! Reuben A. Lewis
| ILE the Yateful vottery gt the
| nation’s capital drew the
: numbers that will array the
minions of Uncle Sam agalns{ the
chargers of the German war lords, the
Nashville Volunteers took the num
ber of Phifer Fullenwi” _ and Atlanta
at Ponce DeLeon. Arthur Decatur,
& tow-headed yocagster of conscrip
tion age, baffled the league-leading
Crackers, while the Volunteers, and
In particular one Dick Kaufman,
slashed out timely hits that afforded
Nashville a 65 to 1 triumph.
[t was a case of too much De
catur. The efforts of the Cracker
batemen, including the reserves, net
ted five scattered hits, one a scratch
to the infield. And, but for a bobble
by Sheehan, the youngster would
have whltewaar_’n.ed.x.thi Frankmen,
The thought of selecting a half mil
lion fighters must have .aroused
Kauffman and Marshall to a state of
belligerency, In the fourth inning,
Marshall implanted the might of his
broad shoulders behind his bat and
drove a liner to the remote highlands
in center fleld. Before relays could
return the wallop, Marshall had
scored a home run.
Dick Kauffman is ordinarly plagid
at the bat. While it is not rare ?')r
Richard to drive out a bingle or s»,
‘he went on a rampage Friday. And
it was Richard who cracked the heait
of Fullenwider. It was in the event
ful seventh inning that Dick faced
a real ordeal, and delivered. After
‘two Volunteers had gone out, Arthur‘
‘Decatur hit a two bagger to center.
Perkins attempted to pick him off
,second, but he sped to third in safety. |
Fullenwider sought to cut the corners
of the plate when Kores. faced him,
with a resultant walk. A similar
largess doled out to Sheehan jammed
‘the bases.
| Boge
~ Whether it was the vision of a
bursting shell or Belgium crushed un
der the German heel that gave Kauff
man the war-like gleam is immateri
al. But what caused Richard to swing
with unerring aim at one of Fullen
‘wider's shoots was decidedly. signifi
cant, for before McDonald could re
turn the pellet to check his onward
flight, the three Volunteers, who had
just occupied the sacks, were on the
‘bench. That blow gave Nashville
a four-run lead and Bupreme confi
dence. Decatur downed the Crack
‘ers in order in the seventh, but fal
‘tered slightly in the eighth.
Munch led off with a single to left.
The Atlanta strategists thought the
psychological moment had come to
test the youngster. Moran and Hess,
shoved into the breach, lifted out,
Mayer singled, but O’'Mara was an
easy out. In the ninth there was
never the dawning of hope.
Fullenwider opened on the mound
after one day's rest. Nashviile got
the jump on him in the third when
Decatur led off with a single to sec
ond, was sacrificed to second by Kores
and sent to third by Kauffman’s sin
gle. Knisely's Ingle gcored him, |
B b |
Atlanta’s only run came in the fifth.
Moore fanned, but Reilly singled and‘
went to second on Decatur's wild
pitch. Munch flied out, and Perkins
lifted a short fly to center. Sheehan
sought to haul it down, but muffed it
and Reilly counted the lone run,
There was a dash to the encounter.
The nine innings were played in one
hour and nineteen minutes, ~with
Chesthutt driving the players along.
They needed little urging, for there
was plenty of ambish in evidence.
The game was far from colorless.
It contained several cases of petty
larceny and two notable robberies. In
the fifth inning Serappy Moore dived
into the dust near the third base line
and knocked down a drive from
Kauffman's bat. His peg to first
killed the chanenfil_ng runner,
3 +
But Sammy Mayer, who ih true
Hibernian style makes a specialty of
reducing values of hits to center, com
mitted an act of larceny, no less, on
Kores in the ninth. A remarkable
sprint, with his back to the stands,
enabled Mayer to haul dowh a drive
that seemed a sure homeé run. Tom
Sheehan, whose bobble gave Atlanta
its only run, made a sparkling play
when he robbed Moore of a hit in the
seventh.
Roy Moran forsook the hospital list
in the eighth inning in order that he
might pinch hit for Perkins. But
Roy is dubious as to when he will
return to the sunfield. Sheehan, the
other Cracker hors de cothbat, avowed
that his arm felt much better after
warming up, and hopes to return to
the mound this afternoon.

Reds No Longer Butt of Ridicule
® ® ® ® ®
Mathewson Develops Real Team
e B v oty ST
NE of the oustanding sea
/ tures of an already remark
able baseball season is the
great work of the Cincinnati
PR T Reds. And
i p o toChristy
5 e M a t hewson

g £ E credit for the
% W "é splendid
AR e § showing of
i ..s§§‘ "é the organi-
BBN zation which
Ngl for years has
W § been the butt
- R 3 of ridicule
s R A and an al
most perpetual tail-ender.
Those who predicted that “Big
Bix"” would become just as famous
as a leader as he was in his pitch
ing role feel more confident than
ever that the prophecy is coming
true. They point to the great
showing of the Reds after Matty
completed his experimental work
and sent his machine on its way
toward the heights of the first
division.
Jack Barry, another f ugling
manager of 1917, has been ac
complishing wonders; so has
Fred Mitchell in his first year at
the helm of the Cub machine. But
of this trio of new leader: Mat
ty’'s work seems to be most bril,
liant of all.
Barry has under his domination
all the cogs that made “‘the great
est team in baseball” in 1915 and
agaln in 1916. He has veteran
(‘am;migners at his beck and call.
He fell heir to a superb outfield,
a fast infield and to “the greatest
pitching staff in the world.” Barry
didn’'t have any tinkering to do;
the machine was there for him—
perfectly built. All that was
needed was cool judgment in driv
ing it.
Mitchell's lot, like Mathewson's,
was less fortunate, He under
took to lead a teamn that many
called “a misfit aggregation.” It
was made up of a few seasoned
players and some youngsters;
gome well past thelr prime and
oh the down grade; others in the
“comer” class, but a long way
from their destination. But
Mitchell had an unlimited bank
roll at his disposal and also a
patient boss—something that has
been lacking in Cincinnati for
mary years,
ok &
Folks have dubbed Cincinnati
“the graveyard of managerial
hopes”—and so it proved with
men who went there to guide the
destinies of the Rhineland squad.
A half dozen of the brainiest men
the game has produced have gone
to Cincinnati, filled with the hope
of making the club a winner, All
have come back with failure
stamped on them.
Last summer, when Matty re
lieved Charlie Herzog, there were
many who were skeptical about
what he could do. They admitted
that Matty knew baseball as few
men know it and that he 18 a nat
ural leader of men. But only a
few of the warmest admirers of
“Big 8ix"” felt that hg could over
come the Rhineland .alnx.
g
The Reds were hopelessly in the
rut when Matty trml‘ charge in
1016, He showed his splendid
Judgment by immediately bullding
for 1917 and other years. He
didn't go in for victories; he went
in to develop a strong team in
the shortest time possible, He
experimented and tinkered; shift.
ed men back and forth and gave
each man on hig squad a thor

When the 1917 geason dawned
Mathewson wasn't quite ready, 880
he forgot that a pennant race
was on-~remembered only that he
must strengthen the weak parts
of his machine. 80, through the
springtie, ne continued making
changes-——continued tinkering,

transformed him into a mighty

another youngster, into a reliable
second baseman. These, with
“Peerless Hal” Chase on first and
Heinie Groh on third, rounded out
his infield. z
His outfield didn't give him
much trouble. Rousch, one of the
greatest youngsters in the game;
Griffiths, a real hitter and a
steady fielder; Neale, a fast
youngster who can field beauti
fully and has the knack of hit
tihng at timely moments, made up
his trio of gardeners.
But the pitchers needed his
counsel and his tutoring. Most
were youngsters with a great as
sortment of twisters, but lacking
in eontrol and unschooled in tricks
of outwitting batsmen. Patlently
Matty driled them in the art of
flinging, giving to them freely of
his vast knowledge. And, under
the expert tutoring, the young
sters gradually began to master
their jobs.
B o b
Six weeks ago Matty let his
boys loose. They were deep down
then—but look at them now. No,
they aren’'t pennant possibilities
this year and they are not likely
to win in 1918, But give Matty
time, another good pitcher, and
he may upset the baseball world
| by giving to the fans of Cincin
nati the first flag winner they
~ have ever owned.

HARRIS IS
? |
WINNER IN
Kiu Brown Loses on Foul—Con
’
- ley-Attell qnd Ellis-South
in Great Scraps,
-
BHy Harry Lewis.
ACK HARRIS is today the pride
\J of the newsboys. The Atlanta
youngster won his first important
fight last night at the Columbia The
ater when he bested Kid Brown, the
rugged Greek, in the fourth round ofa
gcheduled ten-round scrap on a foul.
The ending, although rather unsat
isfactory, was clearly a victory for
Harris. It came about in the middie
of the fourth session. Both boys had
been battling furlously near the ropes
when the littie ringmen fell to the
floor, with Brown on top. Instead of
getting up and letting his opponent
do likewise, Brown took several
punches at Harris while the latter was
on the floor, and this bit of illegal
work lost him the verdict.
o
Mike Saul, before rendering his de
cision, t\lk.d Harris if he wanted to
continue, When the latter advised
him that he was hurt by Brown’s foul
work Mike immediately lifted Harris’
glove in token of victory. The fans
cheered wildly at the decision, thereby
proving that they were with Harris
strong. The victory could not have
rroved a more popular one with the
throng.
/o e
Up to thé time Brown landed the
blows that lost him the bout Harris
had a good lead on points. Jack
showed surprising coclness, and his
work was a treat. He never lost his
head, always shooting his blows out
straight and fast, and he handled
himself like a little ring master,
| ok
Brown, as usual, fought under a
shell. The QGreek put up a deter
mined fight and ke'Ft lmprovlnf as
the scrap went on. There's no telling
what would have happened had he
kept his head and not fouled his op
ponent, ag the boys still had six
rounds to go, with Brown in the better
physical condl-‘t‘lon*l.t gie finish, |
Harris, by winning, proved that he
hag the class of a good boy. If he
can Flace himself under the manage
ment of gome good, veteran boxer he
should develop fast, as he has the
earmarks of a star glove wielder. He
is by far the classiest local boxer we
have lamped sihce the days when
Battling Budd, Kid Young and Spider
Britt were in their prime. Besides,
Harris seems to be a level-headed
lad, and if he sticks strictly to busi
lness he should be heard from in the
future. 5%
| “Toud-Mouth” Kid Ruddy tried
hard to challenge the winner of this
bout, but the fans wouldn’t have it
that way. They had énough of Ruddy
when he quit cold to Brown last week,
and his exhibition that night alone
should be enough to bar him for life
from the Columbia Theater. If Rud
dy only did half as much fighting
with his fists as he does talking, he
would be champion of the world.
o G P
In the other two bouts of the eve
ning Charley Ellis outpointed Charley
South in a rattling four,round con
test, while Young Attell had a llfht
shade on Bud Conley. The %lls-
South go was a wild affair, and 1t kept
the fans on their feet throughout.
Thoaethoys deserve credit for the
scrap they put up.
o o -‘-)
The Attell-Conley bout was put
on as an added attraction when one
of the preliminaries didn't go very
far. Although Mike Saul's decislon
to Attell was a just one, still, gome of
the fans hooted the verdict. Conley
got off to a bad start, which allowed
Attell to pile up gnlnts early in the
fray. However, the victory was far
from a decisive one, and the boys
should be rematched for a longér bat
tle. Conley ig a very willing serap
per and he s also a blg favorite with
the fans. Attell is Improving right
along, and another bout between them
ought to draw a good crowd.
3 (f + |
All-in-all, the card was the best
for actual fighting staged at’the Co-i
lumbia Theater this season. Foth
Boone Kelly, the manager, and Mike
Baul, matchmaker, are entitled to a|
heap of praise for their untiring ef
forts to please the fans. ]
