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 Chattanooga Lookouts.
Early morning weather prospects in
dicated that while avercoate wonld
pot be uncomfortable at Ponce De-
Veon, fair skies would prevail.
Harris Thorburn, whose home is
in New Orleans, but who has never
played with the Pels, was Manager
Frank's cholce 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 |
4 royal chance to get away with a
third win,
Crackers Are Fighting.
The “go-get-‘em” spirflt 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 INI
enoughk to convert the most case
hardened critic. They did it twice,
80 they can do It again
The showing of Hardin llurnvlon'
especially is gratifying. Much was
expected of Lee Gooch and Colonel
Bratchi, but Herndon was rather
ehalked up as the weakest member
of the garden trio. However, if his
atart may be taken as a measure of
his ability, he I 8 the coming star per
former, and may be counted on to de
lver with effect. Iven If, Ivy Griffith
does come back fnSn the service,
Frank will huve a hard time deecid
ing to let Hardin go over to man
age a club in the Sally League. It is
lucky thezt the deal has not yet been
eomplet and that he still may be
retained on the club,
Cup Race Narrowed.
, In view of the bad weather that
prevailed in New Orleans, Chatta
nooga, Memphis and Nashville, it
looks as if Atlanta already has won
the attendance cup,
Scarcely ‘wo “full companies” re
ported at the Pel park, and the
erowds at Nashville and Chatta-
Nooga were even smaller. The Mem
phis inaugural was sleeted out, While
walting for the official figures, it
seems that Atlanta and Birmingham
are the contenders with a possible
edge in favor of Poncey.
The game this afternoon will be
ealled at 4 o'clock. Most of the
business houses have granted a half
holiday on aceount of Memorial Day,
and another monster crowd may be
expected,

Features Second Game
‘ ... (Bpecial to The Georgian.)
CHATTANOOGA, TENN., April 26,
Falllng upon their former nemesis,
. Rube Marshall, for four tallies in the
Initial stanza, Charlie Frank's Crack
ers made it two stralght over the
Lookouts at Andrews Field vesterday
afternoon. The flinal score of the
Georgians’ second opening day win
in as many days was 6 to 8.
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 cold, drizzling rain, which fell
throughout and made the attendance
the smallest of any opening day at
Andrews Field, was undoubtedly
l;’ely responsible for the erratic
play.
A total of 25 hits and b errors gives
idea of the adiMculty which was
exmrhncod in handling the slippery
pellet.
Hardin Herndon monopolized indi
vidual honors for the Crackers in
their secorld 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 h\o"m:l' half of the first and
seventh he staved off possible
_disaster for his teammates by circus
catches at the expense of Mates and
Gleason, respectively. He also enagged
A drive from Flynn's willow in the
ninth that would have been a three
base affair with many a center flalder.
~ Mapre and ®alloway were Hern
don's chief rivals for the spot light
Serappy and Chick fielded in sensa
tional 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 annexen
& single and a double out of three
times up.

The Crackers added another in the
fm:&th by an exhibition of skififul
buffting. Moore beat out a slow drag
to short and Marshall fumbled Neid
erkorn's bunt, Adams vnnverte% his
intended sacrifice into a safety, filling
the cushions, with none down. Chris

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

Cracker short fielder at third on a
similar try, but Chick counted when
Gooch foreced the one-time Mempian
at the keystone sack.
Gooeh’s muff of Qraham's pop
paved the way for the first Lookout

Wind Interferes
With Tech Net
Matches
Due to the strong wind that was
blowing there were only two matches
';)lnyed 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-‘
;pla)’t-d 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
Owens 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
ard and Owens, this time the score
being 6-3. The match was teau:rmlJ
by the excellent serving of Howard
and the all-around playing of Roe-{
buck .
.~ Howard and Owens will in all
brobability lock herns in the finals
with Fraser and McMath, 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 £Lascade Tennis
Club. The singles will bas combleted
some time during the early part of
inext week,

| Pitcher’s Identity Disputed: |
- G.M.C. Forfeits Game to T.H.S. |
$ A dispute over the identity of the Tech High pitcher re
sulted Friday in G. M. C.’s refusing to continue the game at
Ponce DeLeon park, and Umpire Tom Griffin forfeited the game }
to the Junior Smithies by the score of 9 to 0.
The pitcher’s name was given in the line-up as ‘‘Lotspeich,’’
but after five innings had been played the cadets decided that
as Lotspeich was generally reported to be a right hander, and the
young man in the box who was hurling such exeellent ball was a 3
left hander, that there must be some mistake. §
2 The game was suspended while an argument ensued. Cap- ?
{ tain Mumford contending that *‘Lotspeich’ was really Lotspeich
in spite of his change in delivery and Coach Talbot of G. M. C.
foreefully expressing his belief that **Lotsepich’’ was somebody
else. Even *‘Lotspeich’ joined in the argumeént asserting that
he was himself.
So Umpire Griffin decided to end it all by forfeiting the
game to the Smithies. }
The score, when the argument over the identity of the
} pitcher broke out, was nothing to nothing. It had been a good
2 game, *with ‘‘Lotspeich’’ leading in a piteher’s duel. The
{ mooted hurler had fanned ‘seven men in five innings.

Sports Editor of the I. N. 8.
NEW YORK, April 26,—Sergeant
Hank Gowdy, the flrst ball player to
enlist when the United States entered .
the world war, is back home today,
smiling and happy, and ready to doNn
his mask and protecior as a membser
of the Boston Braves.
Gowdy returned late yesterday
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,
“l feel fine,” Gowdy told reporters,
“and I'll be glad to get into a baseball
uniform once again. 1 played quite a
bit of baseball over there, you lm%
and I'm ready to get back into t
harness right now. Living on army
food helped me lose some weight, but '
that hasn't hurt me any.” & 4
Colonel B. W. Hough, commander
of Gowdy's regiment, says Hank is 8
great fighter, but Gowdy himself i§
noncomimunicative regarding the pare
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 League cirs
cuit. Of all the players who wore the
uniform of the army or navy, Hank
stands head and shoulders above the
field as a popular idol among the fans
and he will be received with acc]agffl
everywhere he goes, -
