Crackers Meet Twice-Defeated Lookouts at Ponce Del.eon Park
TO LOCALS
By ED DANFORTH.
With two games tucked away In
the Lucky Bag, the Crackers Sat
urday were ready for their third
game with the Chaitanooga Lookouts
Early morning weather prospects in
‘Hmuw! that while overcoats would
Aot be uncomfortable at Ponce De
leon, fair skies would prevall.
Harris Thorburn, whose home is
in New Orleans, but who has never
played with the Pels, was Manager
Frank’s choice for the hurling assign
ment. It will be Thorburn's first ap
pearance In a regular game, and if he
comes close to the form he showed
in exhibtion games, the Crackers have
A royal chance to get away with a
third win.
Crackers Are Fighting.
The “go-get-'em” spirit was ram
pant in the Cracker ranks Friday at
Chattanooga, and the unsightly
weather condition seemed no damper
to the Frankmen's ardor. And the
way that he outfield is bending the
wood against the little round thing is
enough to convert the most case
hardened critic. They did it twice,
sc they can do it again.
The showing of Hardin Herndon
especially is gratifying. Much was
expected of lLee Gooch and Colonel
Bratchi, but Herndon was rather
chalked up as the weakest member
of the\ garden trio. However, if his
start thay be taken as a measure of
his ity, he is the coming star per
former; and may be counted on to de-
Hver with effect. Even if Ivy Griffith
does come back from the service,
Frank will have a hard titne decid
ing to let Hardin go over to man
age a club ln‘lhe Sally League. It is
Jucky that th& deal has not yet been
completed and that he still may be
- retained on the club,
Cup Race Narrowed.
In view of the bad weather that
prevailed in New Orleans, (hatta
nooga, Memphis and Nashville, it
looks as if Atlanta already has won
the attendance cup,
Scarcely two “full companies” re
posted at the Pel park, and the
crowds at Nashville and Chatta
nooga were even smaller. The Mem
phis Inaugural was sleeted out. While
waiting for the official figures, it
seems that Atlanta and Birmingham
are the contenders with a possible
#; In favor of Poncey. 1
e game this afternoon will ba
called at 4 o'clock. Most of the]
business houses have granted a half
holiday on account of Memorial Day,
and another monster crowd may be
expected. |

jFeatures Second Game
(Special to The Georgian.)
CHATTANOOGA, TENN., April 26,
Falilng upon their former nemesis, |
Rube Marshall, for four tallies in the
dnitial stanza, Charlie Frank's Crack
ers made it two straight over the
Lookouts at Andrews Field yesterday
afternoon. The flingl score of the
Georgians' second opening day win
in as many days was 6 to 3.
The contest which the clubs staged
for Chattanooga fans as their first
offering of the 1919 Southern League
season did not compare with the treat
provided Atlanta enthusiasts Thurs
day A oold, drizzling rain, which fel)
throughout and made the attendance
the smallest of any opening day at
Andrews leld, was undoubtedly
iargely responsible for the erratic
play.
A total of 20 hits and 5§ errors gives
an idea of the difMiculty which was
cxmrhncfd in handling the slippery
pellet.
Hardin Herndon monopolized indi
vidual honors for the Crackers in
thetr second win of the season. The
former Sally Leaguer was the star
performer in the Frankmen's four
run assault in the initial stanza, while
in the Lookouts’ half of the first and
seventh frames he staved off possible
disaster for his teammates by circus
satches at the expense of Mites and
Gleason, respectively. He also snagged
a 4 drive from Flynn's willow in the
ninth that would have been a thrae
base affair with many a center flelder
Moore and Galloway were Hern
don's chief rivals for the spot light
mnwy and Chick fielded in sensa
al fashion, and in addition stung
the horsehide with a vengeance. The
Cracker third-sacker secured three
singles out of four tries, while the
Georgians’ keystone guardian annexed
4 single and a double out of three
times up.
Drew Early Start,
The Crackers lost no time in sewing |
3 the contest. Marshall whiffed
tenbury as the first man to face
‘him. Galloway promptly singled to
rmt.o:ud Eratehi hit safely ‘past |
, Gooch's fozzle could not be
handled by Marshall, Higgins or Graft
in time to nab the runner, and the
- sacks were clogged, Mayer's short fly
to Flynn proved sufficien! excuse for
Gallowny to rush across with the
inftial tally, and when Herndon drove
the pellet into the center-fleld fence
Bratchi and Gooch followed Chick
across the platter, Demoe's wild peg

Here are a few of the ‘big guns’’ of the Gate City Gun Club, which holds weekly shoots at?
the old specdway, near Hapeville. Some of the most prominent men in Atlanta take turns at the |
clay pigeons. The picture at the top left is of W. J. Stoddard; on the right is J. H. Fuller taking |
a crack; the gentleman just below is John Taylor, and to the left of him is shown Dr. J. C. Wright, |
one of the best in Atlanta, ready to fire. The lower right-hand photo is of Joe Cothran. i
to Graham on Moore's grounder ul-!
lowed Herndon to tally,
The Crackers added another in the
fourth by an exhibition of skillful
bunting. Moore beat out a slow drag
to short and Marshall fumbled Neid
erkorn's bunt. Adams converted his
intended sacrifice into a safety, filling
the cushions, with none down. Chrig
tenbury popped to Flynn without ad
vance™but when (he latter dropped
Galloway's similar ho #t, Moore gcored,
although Neiderkora was forced at
third,
Last Score in Sixth.
The final Cracker marker came in
the sixth. Christenbury, first up, sin
gled, Marshall threw Galloway's bunt
to second too late to force the Crack
er shortstep. Bratehi forced the
Cracker short fielder at third on a
similar try, but Chick counted when
Gooch forced the one-time Memplan
at the keystone sack, 2
Gooeh’s mufft of Graham's pop
paved the way for the first Lookout
score in the initial frame. Graff, who
was on first at the time, reached sec
ond on the bobble and counted on
Demoe's Texas Leaguer to left. The
locals added another in the fifth on
Gleason's double and Graff's single,
while their final tally came in the
seventh on Higging' single and Graft's
double,

Wind Interferes
With Tech Net
Due to the strong wind that was
blowing there were only two matches
played Friday afternoon in the Tech
Tennis Tournament and both of these
were in doubles.
Wallace and Roebuck won their
way into the semifinals after taking a
match from Welch and Daniels in
straight sets by the count of 6-2, 6-3.
Here they met Howard and Owens,
last year's doubles champions. Wal
lace and Roebuck completely out
'playod the older team and had then
4-2 and forty love at one stage of
the of the first set. However, by
hard and careful playing, Howard and
i Dwens deuced the set and finally
broke through on Wallace's service
and copped, 8-6. It was a fine set,
but there was very little real tennis
uncorked and the stiff wind made
. lobbing very uncertain.
| The second set also went to How
sard and Owens, this time the score
being 6-3. The match was featured
by the excellent serving of Howard
and the all-around playing of “Roe
buck
Howard and Owens will in all
11-robubllny lock horns in the finals
with Fraser and MeMath, who have
only one more set between them and
the finals, They stand one all in sets
with Kinney and Thomas, but they
should defeat the younger players in
the play-off. The finals in doubles
will be staged Monday afternoon on
the courts of the Cascade 'Tennis
Club, The singles will be completed
some time during the early part of
lnext week,

Hank Gowdy, the first ball player to
enhst when the United States entercd
the world war, iz back home today.
smiling and happy, and ready to don
his mask and protector as a memunar
of the Boston Braves.
Gowady returned late yesterduay
aboard the giant transport Leviathan.
after serving 22 months with Persh
ing's forces. He looks fit as a fiddle,
though somewhat lighter than when
he went away. Immediately afterar
riving in Hoboken, Gowdy made ar
rangements to leave for Boston, where
he will sign his contract with the
Braves.
“1 feel fine,” Gowdy told reporters,
“and I'll be glad to get into a baseball
uniform once again. I playved quite.a
bit of baseball over there, you kno®
and I'm ready to get back into the
harness right now. Living on army
food helped me lose some weight, but
that hasn't hurt me any.” .
Colonel B. W. Hough, commandesr
of Gowdy's regiment, says Hank is & «
great fighter, but Gowdy himself 3§
noncommunicative regarding the pwid
he played in helping the Allies erase
the Huns.
Gowdy's return means much to the
Boston Braves, for he will undoubt=~
edly be a wonderful drawing card
throughout the National L.eague cir
cuit. Of all the players who wore Lhe
uniform of the army or navy, Hong
stands head and showiders above ha
field as a popular idol among the [ g
and he will be received with accla‘sa
everywhere he goes.
