Mayer’s Double Scores Damrau—Darkness
1 . m { .
Halts Game in Twelfth—Sheehan and
H ¢ L el
Walker in Great Duel.
By GUY BUTLER.
About 6,000 of the 8,000 fans at the ball game Friday were wending
their way toward the gates along in the ninth inning, very much de
pressed, gamblers on the Crackers e mitting oaths, etc, when Sammy
Mayer took hold of Dixie Walker's choicest offering and pumped it in the
general direction of right field with Damrau aboard. The latter scored,
and so Atlanta knotted the count, 1 to I,
There it remained for three mor e innings, when “Steamboat” Johnson
decided it was too dark to continue, so he called a halt to the bickerings.
New Orleans had scored its one in
the sixth inning, and it began to look
as if neither club would ever score
any more.
TWO PRETTY CATCHES.
The masterful slab exhibitions by
Dixie Walker and Tom Sheehan were
almost Pone Tresponsible for the
diminutive seore, although a couple
of pretty catches were executed in
the outfieM, one b{ Kopp and one by
Mayer. The two large twirlers were
working like machinery, and Cobb,
Speaker, et al, would never have
meant anything to them.
Dixie had been saved u‘, for just
sueh an exhibition. Merlin Kopp
beat out a bounder to short in the
first inning and then until the eighth
inning the Crackers failed to get an
other dlow. Dykes biffed a clean
one in that frame, and in the ninth,
Dixi® (weakened to the extent of
three hits and ome run. The last hit
came in the twelfth, but Dixie pnlled
out of a bad hole when, with two
men on and one down, he made Gal
loway pop and fanned Dykes.
New Orleans scored her run as
foMows: With two men already set
down on strikes, Sallivan walked.
Gilbert tapped a lazy roller toward
Dykes, who, thinking it would be
easy, kicked it, and the runners were
safe. Deberry, who broke up the
opening game, came through with a
two-bagger, scoring Sully.
CRACKERS GET ONE.
Atlanta counted her one with two
gone. Damrau had singled, and went
dewn on an infield out. Mayer then
crashed his double over the head of
PDaniels, who was playing in short,
thinking Mayer would hit to left or
center, Damran scored. Griffin de
livered his daily pinch hit, but Mayer
was killed at the plate, Daniels to
Agnew.
It was one of the greatest pitching
duels ever seen at Ponce de Leon,
with neither twirler weakening to
any noticeable extent. Walker was
pitehing phenomenal ball during the
first seven innings, and he merely got
back to normal in the eighth. Walker
pitched the last two or three in
nings with his pitching arm bare,
and the breeze was stiffening then,
too, but somehow he pulled through.
Both boxmen got out of some dan
gerous places. In the first inning,
with Daniels on third, and two out,
Sheehan whiffed Gilbert, the best
hitter on the visiting club. In ull,‘
Tom got away with nine strike outs,
against six for Dixle, ‘
In the fourth inning fast flelding
cut off a Pelican tally. With John
1. Sullivan on third and one out, De
berry grounded to Galloway, whose
perfect throw to the plate nalled
Sully by several steps.
STRATEGY WORKS.
A plece of strategy worked suc
cessfully in the eleventh. Salllvan
had singled and stolen second and
two men were down. Higgins or
dered Sheehan to walk Deberry, so
he did, and Fielder flied right into
Kopp's mitt, .
When Mayer punched out his don
ble in the ninth all but two of the
8,000 fans hurled pop bottles andl
cushions onto the field along the
third base line, and the game was
held up for a few minutes until the
dmmond conld be cleared.
Manager Dobbs tried desperately in
the twelfth to win the game He
gent in “Red” Torkelson to stick for
Agnew, and Torky hit a terrific liner
to oenter, in which Sammy made a
great catch. Walker singled to left
but Damiels couldn’t deliver.
“Buddy” Rezza, the youngster who
was signed to take care of fl«-ufipy
Moore, played first base In the last
of the twelfth, ‘
Both clubs had plenty of runners
on the bases but the pinch hit was
lacking. Sulltvan did the most dam
age for the Pels, while Mayer and
Damrau each took a hand In the
work for Atlanta.
RACE 18 DRAW,
Before the game Daniels, the Pel
Hshl fielder, and Merlin Kopp, con
sidervd two of the fastest men In the
league, staged a circling the bases
race. Duniels went around first in
fifteen seconds flat, running smooth
1y all the way. Kopp then covered
the distance in exactly the same
time, and would have won but for
stumbling twice, at first base and at
third,
The final game of the home sched
ule will be played today, when a
double-header will begin at 2 o'clock,
Twelve thousand fans are expected
out, so you had better come early.

tHE ATLANTA GEORGIAN
Receipts of Series
To Go to Crackers
At a meeting of the stockhold
ers of the Atlanta Baseball As
sociation, #t was decided to turn
over the entire Cracker end of
the receipts from the series in
New Orleans next week to the
fourteen players. The money
coming to the Atlanta club will
be equally divided among the
players.
The stockholders thought this
would be a nice little present
for the boys, who have fougnt
so valiantly for Atlanta this sea
son, and the money will be
theirs whether or not they win
the pennant.
The crowds in New Orleans
should come very near equaling
those here during the Pel-
Cracker series, and the sum wiu
be a large one.

LABORDAY
I By CHARLES SHONESY,
The main attraction for the athletic
' public of Atlanta Labor day is the
amateur baseball game at Ponce de‘
L.eon Park between the Atlantic Steel
Company, and the Aoga Feds, winners
of the pennant in Atlanta's two major
amateur baseball leagues,
This is the second game of the se
ries to decide the title. The Atlantic
Steel Company won the first by the
rather Impressive score of 15-0,
} “Goat” Cochran worked this game for
the Agogas and was hit freely‘
throughout. The base clouts fell
thick and fast and the dust was kept'
flying at the home platter at all times
by the fast moving feet of the wkn-\
‘lnem as they rac.g across theé rubber.
The famous “Goat” Cochran is out
for revenge for this one black spot in
his record as a hurler. He has voiced
his plans of revenge to the public, He
’alsn states that his hand is well and
he will be able to hook the ball over
' the plate as of yore. In the first game
;hl» hand was cut and the ball refused
to obey the twists and jerks "“Goat
was capable of putting on the pill
His hand is well and the Atlantic
Steel Company team remembers that
he once kept them scoreless during
his utu‘ in the box, .
REYNOLDS MAY WORK.
Remembering this, they are grom
ing three of the best hurlers in the
city for this game. “Swede” Reynolds
and “Lefty” Parker are the mounds
men who stand the best chance of
working. Brown pitched the first
game for the Steels and allowed only
one hit. He probably will be in the
outfield.
Both Parker and Reynolds are good
slabbists. They have quite an en
viable record, both as hitters and
pitchers. Reynolds is the leading hit
ter in the City League. His clouts
are of the “Babe” Ruth variety, most
ly good for extra base trips.
The Agogas have made a ehange in
their infield. “Runt” Mumford, the
star of the Atlanta Prep League, is
now playing short, and Wallie Smith
bhas been moved from short to the
keystone, -benching Tom Griffin. Es-
Kew is on first and Tilly Vinson hangs
on the hot corner,
HAVE FAST OUTFIELD,
The outfield s composed of Owens,
Jordan and Vandegriff. All three are
speedy fly chasers and hit with regu
lartiy. The Agogas will have a much
stronger team this game than before
The infleld I 8 far more speedy and
hits harde:, and the battery is strong
er, So the fans can count on a bet
ter game than before,
Convalescent soldiers will he admit
ted free. Ladies will see the game
for 20 cents and men for 50 cents.
The game will start at 3:30 .at Ponce

@'wo pugilistic champions, Johnny Kilbane, peer of the feather
weights, and Pete Herman, king of the bantams, are going to lose their
crowns some one of these days, that is, if they go out and fight legiti
male contenders for their honors, unless we are very much mistaken.
Neither one of these ring champions. ranks with the other title hold
ers in the’ fistic game, namely, Jack Dempsey, ruler of the helvy
weights; Battling Levinsky, recognized champ of the light heavy
weights; Mike O'Dowd, claimant of the middleweight championship;
Jack Rritton welterweight e e e —— e ——————
Jack pritton, welilerwelgnt voss, -
and Benny Leonard, who reigns
over all the lightweights,
Kilbane has been champion of the
feathers for a long time. He won
the title by getting a hairline deci
sion on the coast in twenty rounds
over Abe Attell. Since then he has
fought a number of boys in his
class, but for some reason or other
the featherweight diyision has
lacked good material for years,
Johnny, in his recent starts, mas
shown sigps of slipping. He was
put away by Beany Leonard in
three rounds in !ghmy on July 235,
1917, and once they are rocked to
sleep they are seldom as good as
before suffering the old k. o. Kil
bane, or his manager, Jimmy Dunn,
were pretty wise after the Leonard
setback. Instead of shooting John
ny into the ring soon after that go,
the featherweight echampion was
given a rest, and even when he did
start no tough ones were picked for
him. For this reason, and the fact
that Kilbane has been making his
fights over the short route since he
lost to Leonard, he has been able
to hold on to his ritle. We have it,
though, that Kilbane now wants to
retire. He evidently realizes that
his end is sure to come in the near
future. Pete Herman told us that
Johnny's hair is turning gray and
that the sharp look in his eyes that
was his when he was in his prime,
has turned to a dull, sleepish sort
of expression. All of which means
that Johnny's days as a champion
are numbered,
. . -
As for Herman, Pete will have to
show a remarkable improvement
soon, or he, too, is sure to hit the
toboggan. It is our opinion that
Pete can still fight when he wants
to open up, but the New Orleans
lad is not the boy he was when he
fought here before or when he
whipped Williams for the title in
the Pelican City a few years back.
There is also some doubt as to Her
man's ability to make 118 ringside
and be strong. Sam Goldman,
Pete's manager, stated when here
that his protege will make this
weight for Jimmy Wilde, and per
haps he can. However, if Herman's
showing here against Hahn and his
fight against Young Sharkey in
Milwaukee are any criterion as o
his present form, the bantamweight
clasg will likely have a new boss
before long.
. . .
In the other classes, Jack Demp
sey, Battling Levinsky, Mike
O'Dowd, Jack Britton and Benny
leonard are xrwy remarkable
champions, althoug® DBritton's age
{8 against him. Still Jack is u?
to have Jm up a great sigh
against Mike O'Dowd, which goes
to show that he must still have a
number of good battles tucked
away under Dhis belt. Dempsey,
Levingky, O'Dowd and Leonard are
all young men and should go on in
definitely, whipping all comers in
their divisions.
. . .
Dixie Walker may be slipping, as
a number of scribes have stated,
but he certainly ‘voked like a mii
lion dollars out there on the slab
until the ninth inning. He had
worlds of smoke, a fine change of
pace, and his control was m{ghty
near perfect. It almost broke the
big fellow's heart when he saw
Mayer's terrible clout go for two
bases. Sheehan was also in great

SATURDAY, AUGUST 30, 1919.
The following story was written for
the Chicago Herald and Examiner by
Chick Evans and gives his opinion of
the recent golf tournament at Oak
mont. The noted expert praises “Lit
tle Bob” Jones, and other young golf
ers as being the real stars of the
tourney.
BY “CHICK"” EVANS.
The first national golf champion
ship event was concluded guccessfully
at Pitfsburg and the new champion,
young Davidson Herron, stands for a
new era, a living evidence of the
eternal youth of the game and its
wholesome progression. He is one of
the many young players who have
appeared in the last few years, and
his game from the first to the last
round was first class, and if he had
either tonsilitis or rheumatism he
did not advertise it, owing either to
a merciful regard for the rest of the
players or a lack of press agents. He
has had a clear record throughout.
He tied for the low qualifying medal
for the American Golfers’ Trophy,
and he won the championship.
. This influx of very young men into
golf is one if its most wholesome
signs. Bobbie Jones and Perry
Adair set the style in 1916, and since
that time many fine young players
}ave been coming steadily to the
front: but there were no big tourna
ments, and we did not realize the ad
vance the youngsters wcere making
until Oakmont opened its hospitable
doors.
They came from all parts of the
country—those young golfers—four
publie links boys from St. Louis, sure
of later distinction; J. Woods Platt
of Philadelphia, Bebby Jones of At
lanta, Rudolph Knepper of Sioux City
all able to give any golfer in the
country a first-class game, with a
more than equal chance of winning
out. {
These boys all play a sound game;
they have been well taught and in
time will make our national cham
pionships more like the British ama
teur, where there is no easy side.
Our tournaments heretofore have
usually had an easy side, and the
good player lucky enough to be drawn
on that side was almost sure of an
easy victory. Now with the host of
fine young golfers each player will]
be kept at his best from the first
match round to the last, ‘
GOOD GOLF PLAYED. |
There was really a great deal of
good golf in the past tournament, al
thcugh the readers of the scores may
Fave thought different. The course
was very difficult, and 80 was better
than 76 on many other courses. Then
the rain, severely intermittent, added
a good deal to many scores and made
equality of opportunity impossible.
This was particularly noticeable in
the elimination round on Saturday.
Many of the players escaped the
late afternoon storm. I had to play
through five holes of it and can tes
tify to its severity. We were far
from shelter, and Mr. Ormiston, the
caddies and 1 threw ourselves flat in
a bunker while the rain and the hail
beat down upon us. Less fortunate
ones started out just before the storm
began and had to play through it
Needless to say, every oOne was
drenched, even Ouimet, who had but
one hole of it.
One of the remarkable disclosures
of the tournament was that Ouimet
plays much better gclf when slightly
ii! than when enjoying his usual good
health. Of course 1 had to be the
victim of this demonstration, for my
record shows that T have a genius
for bringing out the best in the other
fellow's game. At least, Ouimet
played much better at Oakmont than
he did in the British amateur and
open of 1914, our open of the same
year at Midlothian, the open at Bal
tusrol in 1915, the amateur at De
troit the same year or the open at
Brae Burn this year. Perhaps if he
had contrived to remain ill through
another round he might have lasted
until he met Davidson Herron,
SLAMS EASTERN CRITICS.
This is the season of the year when
1 find it necessary to administer my
mild animal rebuke to the Eastern
golf writers., Their hysteria is too
much for iny Western sensibilities.
I would like to ask them, as a brother
sportsman, if they think that it is
quite fair to the other fellow to allow
their imagination free play in the
matter of doctors, gargles, wayward
clinical therimometers and an active
jaunt of nine long, hilly miles, sup
i;uru-d solely by a few sips of orange
juice? 1 came to Oakmont to play
‘gnlr, and as 1 was endcavoring to do
it my attention was diverted while I
}puulor! and pondered over the things
1 had been told and the things that I
!nw and heard. [t may require cour.
age to risk one's reputation by play
rlng when ill, but it is done every day,
\hndly and unheralded,
The opponent of the interesting in
valid is the one to pity. He has no
alitl; he is disgraced if ha fails, and
there is no credit if he succeeds, He
may have allments, physical and
mental), of his own. Unfortunately,
the Western golf writers never grow
hysterical over the misfortunes of the
Western players, and we are tharefore
at the mercy of the imaginative and
emotional East,

H.C. L. Hits Athletes;
Ask M?re Expenses
- CHICAGO, Aug. 30.—Five dollars a day
is much too small for a star athlete to
subsist on, according to a round robin
filed today by Jole Ray, Jo loemis and
other Central A, A, U. athletes with
Everitt C. Brown, National A, A. U
meeoting in Philadelphia next month.
Several of the ecrack men of the cen
tral district will compete in the Canadian
championships at Toronto Eeptember 6,
and they agreed the high cost of living
had clutched them. They sald they were
unable to meoet te necessary traveling and
living expenses with the association al
lowunce, and then sent thelr protest to Mr,
Brown,
Mrs. Letts Will Play
Mrs. Fisk in Finals
DETROIT, Aug. 10.—~Mre. F. O Letts
Jr. of Chicngo and Mrs. Perry Plak, De-
Kalb, 111, will elash in the finals for the
Women's Wostern Golf Champlonship tos
day at the Detroit Golf Club
Mrs. Letts eliminated Miss Doroth
Higble in the semi-finals, and Mrs, Hn;
defeated Mrs. Harold Foreman, Chicago.
KNOXVILLE, Aug. 30.—The foot
ball season at the University of Ten
nessee will open September 15, when
all candidates will report to Coach
John R. Bender for the initial prac
tice. Coach Bender intends to launch
the conditioning training as early as
possible so as to have his machine in
mettle for the Vandy game on Octo
ber 10,
Incidentally the Vanderbilt gamao
this year should be a battle royal
from start to finish, for Vandy, too,
is thrice blessed in the return of a
number of stars of former years. The
formidable tackle trio, “Josh” Cody,
all-Southern, and Tom Lipscomb will
will return this year, as will Pryor
Williams and Herman Days, two of
the best guards ever deveoped under
the tutelage of the veteran McGugin.
Alf Adams will also don the moleskins
for Vandy. With such material to
put into the line, a few fast backs
and a good punter, Vandy should
have a prize machine.
W. O. (“Chink”) Lowe will prob
ably captain the University of Ten
nessee football eleevn this fall. He
was captain-elect for 1917, but was
in the service at that time. W. W.
Woodruff, member of the athletic
council, states that Lowe is the log
ical man for the position this year,
and that he is sure his election will
be confirmed at a meeting of the
council, to be held soon.
CRACK ELEVEN EXPECTED.
Under the leadership of the in
domitable “Chink” the Volunteer
eleven should prove every whit as for
midable a machine as that well re
membered steam roller that func
tioned so well under the guidance of
Coach Bender in 1916, Pre-season
optimism, perhaps, but facts are facts
and here are a few that should tend
to start Vandy and several other old
time rivals of Tennessee to thinking.
Coach Bender will be on the coach
ing line again this year.
A. Hatcher, he of the formidable
toe, will return to the line-up.
Graham Vowell, all-Southern and
third all-American end of 1916, and
captain of {he winning eleven of 1916,
will again take charge of the pigskin.
“Possum” Henderson, whose mas
terful work at guard helped make the
1916 line the best in the history of the
university, will play with the Orange
and White this season.
Andy L.owe, halfback of the 1915
eleven, a remarkable bucker and open .
field runner, will again crouch behind
the line.
Wolf Vowell's running mate, whose
remarkable playing on end was the
talk of that oft-remembered season,
will probably hold a wing this fall.
MUCH MATERIAL.
There is also an abundance of ma
terial in sight at even this early date
from which a creditable machine
could be built. With such a nucleus
as is afforded by the return of the
aggregation of 1916 stars there should
be no difficulty in rounding the eleven
into shape early in the season.
The Minot brothers, Ed Kennedy,
the big prep school tackle; Benson
of Knoxville, of high school fame,
who is considerd a bucking fullback
par excellence; Haynes, speedy quar
ter; Pete Siler, famed as an open
field general; Bento Sandberg of the
Knoxville High School, who played a
stellar game behind the line for the
Maryville 8. A. T. C, eleven of last
fall, together with Hill and Jack
Wright, Joe Long. Knoxville High
School renown, whose speedy quarter
play was the feature of the school's
eleven last fall; K. Gresham, depend
able linesman; Charlie Lindsay, the
big tackle, and Fritz Miller, center for
Central High School, who should be
a bear this season, comprise a squad
of new material that any coach would
welcome.
