Crackers Rally in Late Stages of Second Game.
Perdue and Roberts Yield—Kopp and Dykes
z ] 1 . 1
Star—Record Crowd of Season Sees Games.
———————————
BY.GUY BUTLER.
The Crackers have ended their h ome schedule and left last night for
Mobile te finish up the road schedule, Fourteen thousand folks saw them
divide a double-header with the Pelicans Saturday, losing the first, 3to 2,
and winning the second, 6 to 3, In seven innings.
Ground rules were necessary, owing to the tremendous crowd, which
completely encircled the field, and the athletes were unable to gather in
many foul flies, Several long clouts which would have been triples or
e e nunder ordinary circumstances, went for only two bases. Both
DY S Y - PRI .W e— sT e
Dykes and Kopp hit drives that car
ried far and would have been good
for at least three sacks, Dykes’ brow
went to the scoreboard and it was a
{errific smash, Both of these young
sters, by the way, combed two dou
bles each.
TORK BEATS BOONE.
*Red” Torkelson, the comedian,
outpitched Daniel Boone in the first,
and the two together only permitted
fiine hits, Tork having the edge. Dan's
buses on balls alse proved fatal. He
jssued two in the fourth inuing, and
one of these men scored. An error
thy Galloway let in the final tally,
when Chick had the runner by twenty
feet. He hurried his peg to the plate
and it sailed five feet over Higgins'
head.
Atlanta had men on the bases in
every inning but the second And seve
enth, but “Red” was at his best and
pitched a fine game. Boone himself
spofled a chance to score in the third
inning. He singled and was sacrificed
by Kopp, and then was caught nap
ping off second by & long throw from
Catcher Agnew, |
New Orleans scored twe in thei
fourth inning. Knaupp singled and
went to second when Boone missed
the throw in. Sullivan popped, but
Gilbert and Deberry were given
passes. Fieldler's bingle scored
Knaupp and Gilbert. Another came
in the sixth. Knaupp singled, was
sacrificed, Deberry singled, and tnen
Chick threw wild to the plate after
receiving the throw from the outfield,
Knaupp counting.
Atlanta made one in the first mn
ing. Damrau's was safe on Fieldler's
error and Mayer doubled him home. |
The last run came in the sixth, Hern
don was safe on an error by Deberry,
went to second on an infield out and
counted on Griffin’s blow.
Hubbard Perdue, the Gallatin
squash, tried to win his second game
of the series from the locals, but he
was rapped a bit too freely, and was
replaced by Torkelson In the fifth
inning. Tork was worse than Hub,
and besides getting a fine pasting,
he was very wild,
PELS TAKE LEAD.
The visitors got off into the lead
with three runs in the fourth inning,
and it began to look as if they were
going to sweep the series., Damrau's
error, Deberry’s double, Fieldler's sin
gle, an out, and Rezza's bingle scored
the three,
We took one in the fourth. Griffin
and Galloway singled and Dykes dou
bled. Two more in the fifth. Kopp
doubled, Herdon singled, Mayer
forced him, Griffin gingled and Sam
my and Ivy tried a double steal, Sam
scoring when Deberry's chuck went
to left fieid. The last three came in
the sixth inning, Higgins singled and
Sheehan walked. Kopp doubled, scor
ing Hig. Damrau and Herndon
walked, forcing Sheehan, Mayer's out
scored Kopp. |
Three good rmning ecatches by
Mayer, and a splendid stop of a hot
bounder from Dykes by Marty Fieldler
were the fielding features. The hit
ting of Dykes, Fieldler, Deberry and
Kopp was best,
CUSHIONS FLY.
The crowd was rather unruly at
times, but this was mostly due to
their enthusiasm. The thousands
present rooted long and loud for the
homelings, never giving up, and they
went wild when the Frankmen finally
got going late in the second contest.
Cushions and bottles were thrown in
the air, straw hats were smashed,
women were pushed about, and the
police had their hands full. On vari
ous occasions it looked as If the
erowd would swarm on to the infield
and force Mr. “Umps” to protest one
of our ball games, but such was not
the case, 50 we can rest with ease to
day.
PELS DISPLAY PEP. ......
The Pels displayed plenty of pep.
They fought hard right from the
start, never once letting up in their
aggressive tactics, Deberry, D'Au
bert and Fisher kept “whooping” it
up throughout both contests, and they
put up a mighty fine article of ball,
too. But the Crackers would not be
denied in the second contest, and once
they got out in front there was no
stopping them.
SHEEHAN DELIVERS.
The Crackers can thank Tom Shee
han for stopping the Pels. The big
fellow came right back after pitching
twelve hard innings on Friday and
stopped Dobbs’ warriors when he re
lieved Roberts. Tom can well be
called the “Big Ace” of the Crackers'
hurling staff. By winning the second
contest he kept the locals’ lead at
mr and one-half games, A mighty
%\d margin for this {ime of the sea-

'
Second Game of Series for Ama
' '
teur Championship at Poncey.
'
Atlantic Steel Won Opener.
By CHARLES SHONESY.
The main attraction for Labor Day
in the way of athletics is the second
game of the series between the At
lantic Steel Company and the Agoga
Feds for the city amateur champion
ship. The game will be played at
Ponce de Leon Park on the Crackers
lot at 3:30.
The Atlantic Steel Company looks
to be the winner. This prediction is
based on the meeting of the two
teams two weeks ago, when the Steel
Company won the first game of the
series, 15-0, SO
In that game the Feds were erippled
to some extent, in that “Goat” Coch
ran, an old Cincinnati Red pitcher,
who does their hurling, was suffer
ing from a bad wrist, which prevent
ed his hooking the ball and putting
anything on the pill but steam.
He has recovered and has sworn
revenge. And he is capable of admin
istering the same. He faced the Steel
Company nce before and pitched
eight innings of scoreless ball and
only gave up one or two hits. So the
mighty “Goat” is a pitcher who has
something.
The Agogas have further strength
ened their team. They have benched
Tom Griffin. Tom is a good plaver
but is getting along in years and also
is a trifle slow. Wallie Smith has re
placed Tom on the keystone, and
“Runt” Mumford, the prpe star, has
taken Wallie's place at short. This
adds strength and speed to the in
field. Mumford is the lead-off man,
and once on the bases he is a hard
man to stop.
This is the only change in the
Agoga line up! The rest of the team
will stack up as before,
Should the Steel Company win this
game, they will have the city cham
pionship, and should the result go
the other way the third game will be
played off probably next Saturday,
- Convalescent soldiers will be ad
}mhlvd free to the game,

By JACK VEIOCK.
FOREST HILLS, N. Y., Aug. 30.—
William M. Johnston, San Francisco’s
wonder player, 1915 champion, whose
sensational comeback resulted yes
terday in his defeat of Gerald L. Pat
terson, the Anzac, today eliminated
Robert Lindley Murray, also of Cali
fornia, present champion, in a four
get singles match before a large
throng of spectators at the West Side
Tennis Club’s courts. The score was
5-7, 6-1, 6-2, 6-4.
In eliminating the champion in the
semi-final round, Johnston failed to
get into his stride until the second
set. Some thought he lost the first
set through over confidence.
Johnston found himself in the sec
ond set, and from thence forward he
set a pace the champion could not
equal. But Murray proved a game
fighter. He played for all he was
worth, exacting so much of his re
serve of strength and energy that
when he retired to the dressing room
he practically collapsed. He had
used himself up in defense of the
championship. The great player soon
recovered, however, and was able to
witness some of the other contests.
JOHNSTON IS MASTER.
Murray's playing lacked the zip
that carried him to the champion
ship. And from the first it was_ evi
dent that Johnston was his master.,
Murray was excellent in service.
Johnston outplayed his rival cleanly
and scored many points of placement
shots that were driven to Murray’s
right. Murray is a left handed player.
By this victory Johnston enters the
‘semi-final round, scheduled for Mon
‘day. He will meet the winner of the
!Wallace F. Johnson-W. M. Hall
‘m:uch. As he is much the superior
~of either of these players, he is prac
tically sure to fight it out for the
championship in the final round.
The point score of the Murray-
Johnston match rollows:

McLOUGHLIN LOSES.
Maurice McLoughlin and R. Nor
ris Williams followed Murray and
IJohnston on the grandstand course.
The appearance of the two ex
lchampions was the signal for wild
applause on the part of the fans.
; More than 6,000 spectators assem
'bled for today's matches, despite the
murky weather.
I Williams took the first set, 6-0,
McLoughlin was as a novice against
the Bostonian. The crowd refused
to applaud the “comet’'s” defeat, as
he is extremely popular.
Willtams won the second set, 6-2.

TILDEN WINNER.
| Another outstanding feature of the
'day's play was the match in which
' William T. Tilden IIL, Philadelphia,
' defeated Norman E. Brook, Australia,
3-8, 6-4, 7-5, 6-3. Brook's defeat at
the hands of Tilden was due largely
to the American's service which is
considered the fastest in the world—
more annihilating in its effects than
McLoughlin’s was when the comet
was at his best, 3
At no stage of the battle between
two of the world’s giant players was
it possible for Brook to stroke Til
den's cannon ball service with any
effectiveness, Tilden also displayed
| amazing ability at lobbing a stroke
which he used to prevent Brook
from getting up to the net, and at
which he rarely failed.
