£ Wé&g . - Crackers who!
'g E ;°% predicted Jake
Bio o @ would become a
B \ h hard hitter. On
W i several occa
sions during the past winter Mayer
gpoke words of praise for Munch, and
it scems that Jake is proving that
Sam had the right opinion of his apil
ity.
“There is 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
soo 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.
g b B
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 year he’s hit
ting them all alike. Jake's improve
ment at bat, backed up by the won
derful fielding game he puts up at
first, makes him a corking first-sack
er for any bhall club.

Decatur Baffles Atlanta Batsmen
n! .
While Nashville Solves Fullen
’ ’
wider at Timely Moments,
By Reuben A. Lewis
HILE the Yateful vottery at the
nation’s capital drew the
: numbers that will array the
minions of Uncle Sam against the
chargers of the German war lords, the
Nashville Volunteers took the num
ber of Phifer Fullenwider and Atlanta
at Ponce DeLeon. Arthur Decatur,
a tow-headed youngster 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 5 to 1 triumph. |
It was a case of too much De
catur. The efforts of the Cracker
batsmen, 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 whitewashed the Frankmen.
LA K
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 field. Before relays could |
return the wallop, Mafshall had
scored a home [run. . ‘
Dick Kauffman is ordinarly placid
at the bat. While it is not rare for
Richard to drive out a bingle or so,
he went on a rampage Friday. And
it was Richard who cracked the heart |
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
ssecond, 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.
| ®* % 9
Whether it was the vision of a
‘bursting shell or Belgium crushed un
der the German heel that gave Kauftf
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 Voluntéers, who had
just occupied the sacks, were on the
bench. That blow gave Nashville
’a four-run lead and supreme 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. Nashville 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 scored him,
L I )
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 :lneteen minutes, with
Chestnutt 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 Scrappy 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 chhllenging runner.
g o P
But Sammy Mayer, who in 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 down a drive
that seemed a sure home 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 combat, avowed
that his arm felt much tg_etter after
warming up, and hopes return to
the mound this afternoon. |

Mathewson Developsßeal Team

NE of the oustanding sea- !

» PTTIR Reds. And

¢ ;s&\ FEN g showing of
%‘ifi “% & the organi
i SR 3 zation which
T i for years has
: wE e § been the butt
- g of ridicule
R A BB e and an al
most perpetual tail-ender.
: Those who predicted that “Big
Six"” would becorie 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, anothep fledgling
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 leaders 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
again in 1916. He has veteran
campaigners 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 team that many
called “a misfit aggregation.” It
was made up of a few seasoned
players and some youngsters;
some well past their prime and
on 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 |
many years.
B ok W
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 is a nat
ural leader of men. But only a
few of the warmest admirers of
“Big 8ix"” felt that he could over
come the Rhineland iinx.
L
The Reds were hopelessly in the
rut when Matty took charge in
1916. He showed his splendid
judgment by immediately building
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 his squad a thor
ough tryout.
When the 1917 season dawned
Mathewson wasn't quite ready. So
hé forgot that a pennant race
was on—remembered only that he
must strengthen the weak parts
of his machine. So, through the
springtime, he continued making
changes~—continued tinkering.
He took the cast-off Kopf and
transformed him into a mighty
good shortstop; developed Shean,

' another youngster, into a reliable
second baseman. These, with
“Peerless Hal” Chase on first and
Heinie Groh on third, rounded out
his infield.
His outfield didn’'t give him
much trouble. Rousch, one of the
greatest y:;g;sters in the game;
Griffiths, real hitter and a
steady flelder; Neale, a fast
youngster who can field beauti
fully and has the knack of hit
ting at timely moments, made up
his trio of gardeners.
But the pitchers neoded\hh
counsel and his tutoring. Most
were youngsters with a great as
sortment of twisters, but lacking
in control and unschooled in tricks
of outwitting batsmen. Patiently
Matty drilled 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. :
o
Six weeks ago Matty lex his
boys loose. They were deep down
then—but look at them now. No,
they aren’t pennant pgssibilities
this year and they are not likely
to win in 1918. But give Matty
time, another good pitcher, and
he may upjpf the baseball world
by giving so the fans of Cincin
nati the first flag winner they
have ever owned.

Cornell's policy, he said, would be
to attempt to get large numbers of
men engaged in athletics as exercises

HARRIS IS
Kiu Brown Loses on Foul—Con
ley-Attell and Ellis-South
in Great Scraps,
| i
i »
‘ ‘By 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
scheduled ten-round scrap on a foul,
The ending, although rather unsat
isfactory, was clearly a victory for
Harris. It came about in the middle
of the fourth session. Both boys had'
been battling furiously near the ropes
when the little ringmen fell to the
floor, with Brown on top. Instead of
getting up and letting his opponent
do llkewise, Brown took several
punches at Harris while the latter was
on the floor, and tkis bit of illegal
work lost him the verdict.
* + ¢
Mike Saul, before rendering his de
cision, asked 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.
+
Up to the time Brown landed the
blows that lost him the bout Harris
had a good lead on points. Jack
showed surprising coolness, and his
work was a treat. He never lost his
head, always shooting his blows out
straight and fasty, and he handled
himself like a little ring master.
| EE
Brown, as usual, fought under a
shell. The Greek put up a deter
mined fight and kept improving as
the scrap went on. There's no telling
what would have happened had he
kept his head and not fouled his op
ponent, as the boys still had six
rounds to go, with Brown in the better |
physical condition at the finish. |
g b |
Harris, by winning, proved that he
has the class of a good bo¥. If he
can place himeelf under the manage
ment of some 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 since the days when
Battling Budd, Kid Young and Spider
Britt were in their prime. Besides,
Harris seems to he a level-headed
lad, and if he sticks strictly to busi
ness he should be heard from in the
I future.
b i .
“Loud-Mouth” Kid Ruddy tried
hard to challenge the winner of this
bout, but thee{ans wouldn't have it
that way. The¥ had enough 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.
b oo
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 slight
shade on Bud Conley. The Ellis-
South go was a wild affair, and 1t kept
the fans on their feet throughout.
These boys deserve credit for the
scrap they put up. |
g’ o P |
The Attell-Conley bout was ™R
on as an added attraction when one
of the preliminaries didn't go very{
far. Although Mike Saul's decision
to Attell was a just one, still, some of
the fans hooted 'the verdict. Conley
got off to a bad start, which allowed
Attell to pile up points early in the
fray. However, the victory was far
from a decisive one, and the boys
should he rematched for a longer bat
tle. Conley is a very willing sorap
per and he is also a big favorite with
the fans Attell is improving right
along, and another bout between them
ought to draw a good crowd.
o o o
All-in-all, the card was the best
for actual fighting staged at the Co
lumbia Theater this season. Both
Boone Kelly, the manager, and Mike
Saul, matchmaker, are entitled to a
heap of praise for their untiring ef
forts to please the fans.
