Mayer’s Double Scores Damrau—Darkness
N ‘4 3 ' ¥ ) J . .
Halts Game in Twelfth—Sheehan and
A » 3 1 .
Walker in Great Duel.
By GUY BUTLER.
About 6000 of the 8000 fans at the ball game Friday were wending
their way toward the gates along in the ninth inning, very much de
pressed, gambiers on the Crackers e misting oaths, ete., when Sammy
Maver 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 1.
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 it one In 4
the sixth inning, and it began to lm-k)
as If neither club would ever score
any more.
TWO PRETTY CATCHES.
The masterful slab exhibftions by
Dixie Walker and Tom Sheehan were
almost Wone Tesponsible for the
, diminutive score, although a couple
of pretty catches were executed In
the outfield, one by 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 bad been saved up for just
such an exhibition. Merlin Kopp
bheat out a bounder to short in the
firet inning and then until the eighth
~ inning the Crackers failed to get an
other blow. Dykes biffed a clean
one in that frame, and in the ninth,
Dixi® (weakened to the extent of
three hits and one run. The last hit
came in the twelfth, but Dixie puled
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
follows: With two men already set
down on strikes, Sullivan walked.
(Hibert tapped a lazy roller toward
Dykes, who, thinking it would be
easy, kicked it, and the runners wero
safe. Deberry, who broke np the
opening game, came through with a
two-bagger, scoring Sully.
CRACKERS GET ONE.
Atlanta counted her one with two
gone. Damrau had singied, and went
down on an infield out. Mayer then
crashed his double over the head of
Daniels, who was playing in short,
thinking Mayer would hit to left or
center. Damrau scored. Griffin de
livered his dally pinch hit, but Mayer
was killed at the plate, Daniels to
A{new.
t was one of the greatest pitching
duels ever seen at Ponce de Leon,
with neither twirfler 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 Dbest
hitter on the visiting club. In all,
Tom got away with nine strike outs,
against six for Dixie.
In the fourth inning fast fielding
cut off a Pelican tally. With John
1. Sullivan on third and one out, De
berry grounded to CGalloway, whose
perfect: throw to the plate nalled
Sully by several steps.
STRATEGY WORKS.
A plece of strategy worked suc
cessfully In the eleventh. Sullivan
had singled and stolen n«m and
two men were down. Higg or
dered Sheehan to walk Deberry, so
he did, and Fielder flied right into
Kopp's mitt.
‘When Mayer punched out his doun
ble in the ninth all but two of the
8,000 fans hurled pop bottles and
cushions outo the figld along the
thirnd base line, and the game was
held up for a'few minutes until the
diamond could be cieared.
Manager Dobbs tried desperately n
the twelfth to win the game He
gent in “Red” Torkelson to stick for
Agnew, and Torky hit a terrifie Nner
to eenter, in which Sammy made a
great catch. Walker singled to left
but Daniels couldn’t deliver.
“Buddy” Rezza, the youngster who
was signed to take care of Scrappy
Moore, played first base in the last
of the twelfth,
Both clubs had plenty of runners
on the bases but the pinch hit was
Jacking. Sullivan did the most dam
age for the Pels, while Mayer and
Damrao each took a hand in the
wosk for Atlanta.
RACE 1S DRAW,
Before the game Daniels, the Pel
m‘flekler, and Merlin Kopp, con
d two of the fastest men in the
league, staged a eircling the bases
race. Dantels went around first in
fifteen seconds flat, running smooth
ly all the way. Kopp then ocovered
the distance In exactly the same
time, and would have won but for
lltu\zsbun‘ twice, at firet base and at
1 e
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, it 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 fougnht
so valiantly for Atlanta this sea
son, and the money will be
theirs whether or not they win
the pennant.
The crowds in New Orieans
should come very near equaling
thoese here during the Pel-
Cracker series, and the sum win
be a large oné.

The main attraction for the athletic
|public of Atlanta Labor day is the
amateur baseball game at Ponce de
ILeon 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 Atlantie
Steel Company won the first by the
rather impressive seore 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
hy the fast moving feet of the win
ners as they ractd across the rubber,
The famous “Goat” Cochran is out
for revenge for this one black spot in
his record as a hurler. Me has voiced
his plans of revenge to the public. He
also 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
his hand was cut and the ball refused
to obey the twists and jerks “Goat'
was capable of putting om the pill
His hand is well and the Atlantic
Steel Company team remembers that
he once kept them scorcless during
his llué in the box, {
REYNOLDS MAY WORK.,
Remembering this, they are grom
ing three of the best hurlers in the
eity 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 AR“T have made a change in
their infield. “Runt” Mumford, the
star of the Atlanta Prep League, is
now playing short, and Wallle Smith
has 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 is composed of Owens,
Jordan and Vandegriff. All three are
speedy fly chasers and hit with regu
lartly. The Agogas will have a much
stronger team this game than before.
The infield is far more speedy and
hits harder, und the battery is strong
er. So the fans can count on a bet:
ter game than before, ‘
Convalescent soldiers will be 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

B W = BY HARRY LEWIS ==
Two 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
mate 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 . heivy
weights; Battling Levinsky, recognized champ of the light heavy
weights; Mike O'Dowd, claimant of the middleweight championship;
Jack Britton, welterweight boss,
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 division has
lacked good material for years.
Johnny, in his recent starts, mas
shown signs of slipping. He was
put away by Beany Leonard in
three rounds in Philly on July 25,
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 L.eonard
sethack. Instead of shooting John
ny into the ring soon after that go,
the featherweight champion was
given a rest, and evem 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 l.eonard, 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,
. % 9
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, by 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 Wilkde, 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 vo
his present form, the bantamweight
class will likely have a new boss
before long.
99
In the other classes, Jack Demp
sey, Battling Levinsky, Mike
O'Dowd, Jack Britton and Benny
leonard are truly remarkable
champions, although Rritton's age
is agninst him. Still Jack is sald
to Mvek‘mt up a great fight
against ike O'Dowd, which goes
to show that he must still have a
number of good battles - tucked
away under his belt. Dempsey,
Levingky, O'Dowd and Leonard are
all young men and should go on in
definitely, whipping all comers in
their divisions,
.S »
Dixie Walker may be slipping, as
a number of scribes have stated,
but he certainly looked like a mil-
Hon dollars out there on the slab
until the ninth inning. He had
worlds of smoke, a fine change of
pace, and his control was mighty
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.
BY EVANS]
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 [irst national golf champion
thip event was concluded successfully
at Pittsburg 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,
tave been coming steadily to the
front; but there were no big tourna
ments, and we did not realize the ad
vance the youngsters were making
until Oakmont opened its hospitable’
doors. . |
They came from all parts of the
country—those young golfers—four
public links boys from St. Louis, surei
of later distinction; J. Woods Platt
of Philadelphia, Bobby 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 w'mningl
out,
. These boys all play a sound game;
they have been well taught and inl
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 afternbon 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 whilesthe rain and the hail|
beat down upon us. Less for!unatni
ones started out just before the storm |
began and had to play through it
Needless to say, every one was|
drenched, even Ouimet, who had but!
one hole of it |
One of the remarkable disc\osures!
of the tournament was that Ouimet,
piays much better gclf when slightly |
ii! than waen enjoying his usual good |
‘health. Of course I had ta be the|
vietim of this demonstration, for my
record shows that I have a genius
for bringing ovt the best in the other
fellow's game. At least, Ouimet|
played much better at Oakmont than
he did in the British amateur andt
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 r*ukc* to the Eauternl
golf writers, heir hysteria is moi
much for imy Western sensibilities.
1 would like to ask them, as a hrothnr'
gportsman, if they think that it is
quite fair to the other fellow to nllow!
their imagination free play in the|
matter of doctors, gargles, wayward |
clinical thermometers and an a(-tivel
jaunt of nine long, hilly miles, sup
jorted solely by a few sips of orange,
juice? 1 came to Oakmont to play
golf, and as 1 was endeavoring to do
it my attention was diverted while I
puzzled and pondered over the things,
I had been told and the things that I|
saw and heard. It may require cour.
age to risk one's reputation by play
ing when il}, but it is done every day,
badly and unheralded.
The opponent of the interesting in
valid 18 the one to pity. He has no
alibi; he is disgraced if he falls, and
there is no credit if he succeeds, He
may have ailments, 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.

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 game
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.
l W. 0. (“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 &£t that time. W. W.
Woodruff, member of the athletic
council, states that Lowe is the log
ical man for the position this yecr,
and that he is sure his election will
be confirmed at a meeting of the
icouncil, 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 fune
‘tiuned 80 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 the 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 Lowe, halfback of the 1916
eleven, a remarkable bucker and operss
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
jas 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,
ywho is considerd a bucking fullback
| par excellence; Haynes, speedy quar
lter; 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,
