Camp Wheeler, Playing Big League Ball, Trims Gordon In Thrilling Game
“Rube” Off Form, and Loses, 6 to 4, in Thriiling
Contest—Gober Hits Homer and Is Banished.
Camp Jesup Loses to Fifth Regiment.
By Guy Butler.
CORING a baseball game like the
one played by Camp Wheeler
and Camp QGordon—a wild and
wooly embroglio—ls no easy task,
according to our way of thinkina.
Just abeut every player on the Gor
don bench was used for something,
and as a score-sheet has a limited
rumber of spaces, it was some job.
Then to add to our sorrows, the Gor
don players were switched around
like box cars.
Camp Wheeler won the game, 6 tc
4, and did most of it rigl.t at the start
before “Rube” Marshall could settle
down into the old pace that he has
been traveling ail the military basec
ball season, It was a wild game, full
of thrills, umpire-baiting, banished
players and long clouts. Most of the
distance swatting came from the bats
of the Wheeler brigade, and they
kave SOME team down in Macon.
Don’t let 'em tell you different.
Wheeler bagged the game by dint
of slugging and taking advantage of
Marshall’'s wildness. “Rube” wasn't
so awfully liberal but he put several
men on where they would do the most
harm. Toward the latter part of the
battling, however, the old Cracker
jinx was sailing smoothly and his
mates had settled down, after a hor
rible attack of wildness on the partl
ot two or three of them.
Wimble, the Gordon second ban-'
man, got Marshall in Dutch right a!l
the beginning when, with the first
man retired, he erred on Fox's slam.
Barnett forced Yox, and Marshall
winged Griffin, Rlley poked out a
double and Barnett and Griffin
scored, Mittwede followed with an-'
other two-ply crash, and Rfloy'
counted. That made three in the
first inning. It looked bad for Gor.‘
don, but they didn’t quit there, and
in the second, sliced the lead to two
runs, Gober, a husky individual,
slashed a home run over the left field
er's dome with two men down anl
nobody on. MecConnell singled, but
“Rube” skied. The third inning saw
two more Wheeler runners hustling
across the pan. Bennett was hit with
two men out, and Griffin hammerad
out a tripple, scoring on a passed
ball by McConnell. Another wus
added in the fourth on a walk, an
error and Barber's hit. That endcd
the tallying for Wheeler.
Gordon Starts Something.
Gordon started something in th?
fifth. Marshall died, and Higgins
lifted out, but Duncanson and Fisher
drove safely. A walk flll‘ed ‘em up
and Kingman singled sharply to cen:
ter, scoring two., Bedlam reigned 4&]
this period of the pastiming, but
Mornan raised out. There was a lot{
of arguing in this inning and Gober,
waiting for his turn while .\lnl’mm(
was hitting, was ordered out of the
game by Umpire Chanple for lmefint'!
on a called strike. Mornan ended tho !
inning, and Gober sauntered out t)
short, but Chapple asked Lleutenanli
Messer to banish him, which he did,
Lausche going to left, Duncanson to
gecond, Higgins to short, and Mor
nan te right.
With two men out, Fisher hit and
stole in the seventh, but was left at
second. Harry Kingman laced a dou
ble in the eighth, and McConnell got
a life on King's poor throw, scoring
Kingman. That was all the register
ing for the game,
Whitney, former minor league
southpaw, was on the hill for the
Wheelerites, and though hit freely,
he had a rather easy time, He faced
an unusual array of left-handed swat
ters, which made it much easier. Mar
shall was also pitching against south
paw swingers, and “Rube” doesn’t
care much for that kind.
Several changes were made in the
Gordon line-up during the contest.
“Chief" Manley started in left field,
but he didn't go very good, and was
replaced by Mornan early in the
game, The Chief pitched a no-hit
game at the camp Thursday and his
arm was sore, {
Jack Gober, the shortstop who was |
put out of the game, was the oifensive '
star for Gordon, rapping out a home
run and a double, Harry Kingman
ran a close second with a double and
a single, driving in two tallies and
gcoring one himself, i
Big League Baseball. |
Barnett, of Wheeler, took a double, |
a single and was hit, and he scored
twice. Griffin was hit twice, got a|
triple and scored twice. The \\'hw-lerl
boys played blg league ball, and their
teamwork was remarkable, King, at
shortstop, proved a stumbling block
to Gordon. He made several splendid
stops and his work in the fleld was
dazzling, although he made one poor
throw to first. He executed a fine
plek-up on cne hot grounder, and ac
cidentally sat down, being unable to
try for the runner, |
It was a very enjoyable game, and |
the 6,000 sane present made a lot of
noise from the beginning to the end.
Jesup Loses Game. .
There was another game, too, which
we almost forgot, Camp Jesup, wuhl
the mighty “Turkey” Boman flinging, |
dropped one to the strong Fifth Reg- |
iment team, of Camp Gordon, 2 to o.’
The Fifth bovs put up a fine battle
and pot to Boman in the Afth and |
seventh, Lyons, who was picked up |
Ly the Chicago White Sox and car
ried on a training trip, being one of |
the best semipro moundemen in Chi- E
cugo, worked the game for the Fifth,
He showed a puzzling variety of stuff, '
allowing only four hits in seven in
nings. \ '
Boman permitted only six blows, |
but he was a little off form, especially
on control, He appeared to be pecved |
ot something, and gave vent to his
feelinge once to his battery mate,
Young Hope, The latter lot a foul £9 |
up without removing his mask and |
making a try, an dalthough he could
rot have gotten the ball, Boman com« l
manded him to yank his mark there.

Former Georgian Sporting Editor
Tells What Atlanta Boys in the
' ' '
Army Are Doing Behind Lines.
.
By Harry Lewis,
Former Sporting Editor of Georgian
American, Now Samewhere
in France,
Atlanta hasketball fans, no doubt
have not heard of Captain “Pie”
Weaver for the past month or so, The
reason for this is that "Ple” at pres
ent is in France taking part in the
“biggest game'’ cf his career, The
husky blonde athlete is a captain in
the 328th Infantry and the Hun is
sure to find him a mighty tough cus
tomer., The other day 1 met “Pie’
promenading through one of the
I'rench villages, and he is the same
likeable chap he was when wearing
civilian clothes. Captain Weaver
seemed to be much interested in the
news that Fuzzy Woodruff had en
listed. *“T surely would like to have
that ‘bird’ along with us,” said “Pie.”
“There's only one Fuzay”
B
Another former A. A. C. baskethall
star who is with us is Johnny Graves,
who captained the championship A.
A, C. quintet of 1916, Johnny is a
member of the engineers. The little
fellow enlisted with Captain Daly's
Ambulance Company in Atlanta last
vear, but later joined the engineers,
when he found that by so doing he
would hasten his trip over. Johnny
has been in France about four
monthe, [ received a letter from him
recently, stating that he was enjoying
the best of health.
G
Peachtree street néver did look the
same when Hugh Mauck, famous
Tech football star, wasn't seen walk
ing along Atlanta’s main business
etreet. Imagine my surprise when
Hugh came gliding along the other
day, wearing a foreign service badge
and a Sam Brown belt, Yes¢, Hugh is
here. being one of the many Tech and
University of Georgia athletées who
have given up everything to come
across,
o b
Turning to boxing, Atlanta is surely
represented heve, Johnny Giynn,
probably the most popular young fist
ic manager from the Capital City, Is
now a sergeant in Captain Daly's or
ganization. Johnny is in charge of
motor transportation., He's still the
same old boxing fan, and he can al
ways be found at a fistic show, pro
viding it ig within walking distance
and his other dutieg do not interfere
o
Ed Coolidge, Alex Reeves, Billy
I otz, Al Doonan, MicEeachron. Rich
irds and other At'anta boxing fans
wouyld certainly feel at home here

Decatur, Gl., is represented by First
ILieutenant James F. Pitman. Lieu
tenant Pitman wak a physician before
enlisting in the army. The “fair ones”
are going wild over him. He is a
member of Ambulance Company, No.

missed a big athletic event held in
Atlanta.

Georges Carpenticr, claimant of the
world’s heavywelight championship, is

By Jack Veiock. i
EW YORK Aug. 17.—Ralph De= ;t
l Palma, representing Italy, this
afternoon captured the first ans
nuil running of the international
sweepstakes at Sheepshead Ba :’j
speedway, in five straight heats, tn‘»’fl
established himself as the world“%
all-around racing champim. 1‘?
DePalma took every one of the filve
heats run, from 2 to 50 miles, and in
doing so hung up four world’'s recs
ords. His victory won him a purse
cf $17,000. 1o
Ralph Mulford took second money A
and Dario Resta, who ropresented
England, was third. Arthur Duray,
who came back to the speed oval rep=
resenting Belgium, finished fourth,
and Ira Vail, who figursd as an elevs '
enth hour entrant, finished -fifth. e
The five heats were from £ to 50
miles, with a flying start in each heat
and the scores were awarded on the
point system. The drivers finished \;fl
with the following scores: -
DePalma, 30; Mulford, 22; Resta,
10; Duray, 6; Vall. 4. i
DePalma won the 2-mile heat in
1:0563-5. He took first place in the
10-mile heat in 5:234-5. In the 20«
mile heat, after a thrilling race, De-
Palma flashed under the wire the
victor in 10:51 3-5, just one and one«
fifth seconds slower than the record
for the Adistance. é
The 30-mile hrat was an easy vies
tory for DePalma. He broke the
world's record, formerly held Wag
Johnny Aitken, when he covered the
distance in 16:311-5, more than twe
minutes foster thdn Aitken's mark.
In the LO-mile race DePalma cove ’g
ered the distance in 27:29.20, against
28:04.63, the previous record. 9
DePalma's performanre this afte \,j
ernoon, in winning all five heats ag =
various distances, stamps him as the
undisputed all-distance racing chame
pion of the 191§ season. I

other famoys major league bhaseball
stars are coming over is weall receiyed

| It's surely surprising the way the
padded mitt game has taken hold ‘of
the soldiers. “Every Soldier a Boxer®
is the slogan here. The sport quicks

how to defend himself, After the
