THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER, 12,1905.
Tom Hughes Wins Two Games;
Pirates Score But One Run
ATLANTA .• 8. 8HREVEPORT 0.
ATLANTA 4. 8HREVEP0RT 1.
Great gnme. hasennll—especially when the home tenni wlna.
And the home team had a prolonged spasm of winning nt Feldmont park Tues
day afternoon and took two games from the somowlmt-battered-but-stllllu-the-
ring representatives of the brlik little village of Hhreveport.
The aeorea were 8 to 0 and 4 to 1.
It la quite fashionable In the Southern thla year to pitch both games of n dou
ble-header. Lfetifta nit made the afnnt locally fa mom*, and Torn Hughea (ell la line
Tuesday by twirling l»oth games. That be wns successful la quite obvious from
the scores. •
With any kind of lurk, Hughes would have gone the full sixteen Innings with
out having a run scored against him. In the fifth Inning of the aecoud. Daley man
aged to score one ou two errors, however, and this marred what would otherwise
have been a remarkable record. In the two games, Hughes gave up only eight hits—
all of them singles and some of them scratches—only two bases on balls and struck
out ten men. At the finish. Torn seemed as full of steam ns nt first, and burned
them over with terrific speed.
In the opening game.’"the fenttires"—as the yotingsters put If—“wa* the htavy
bitting of the home team.” Frits was most ardently lambasted. Jordan made three
out of four. Fox nnd BM Smith three out of four, and Iloffmau two out of four.
The fielding of the Crnrker* wns oil to the fancy-work also, nnd the Pirates bad
never a chance.
In the second game Gllks sacrificed “Kitty" Becker. This youngster did not
allow many hlta, hnt ho wns unfortunate In passing tho flrat man up three dif
ferent time* nnd then in allowing somebody to bat the runner home.
The game wna n fielding show well worth the price of admission. Dick Cro
sier went to the back field fence for the most brilliant catch of the year on the
local diamond, nnd Wallace did noticeable work In the field.
The scores:

O’BRIEN MAY
DODGE TRIP
San Francisco, Sept. 11—Jack O'Brien,
the Philadelphia fighter, who lays claim
to the championship title on the strength
of his defeat of Bob Fitzsimmons, arrived
In San Francisco lost night, en route to
Australia, where he Is to box Bill Squires,
the best of the Antipodean big men. .
The steamer on which O'Brien proposes
to take passage sails Thursday, but It la
just possible that Jack may not make the
Journey.
It all depends upon what develops when
he has a conference with the local fight
trust today. If O'Brien secures a match
with Sam Berger, A1 Kaufman, Tommy
Burns, or. In fact, any one In the heavy
weight clasa, he will poatpone his departure
to the Australian colonies.
O'Brien prefers Berger to any of the
heavyweights, but thinks that Samuel la in
clined to dodge the issue.

DOUBLE-HEADER NOTES,
MOSTLY ABOUT HUGHES
We all owe an apology to Tommy
Hughes. We used to think that Llebhardt
wss the best pitcher In the league.
And all the time, the honor belonged to
Tommy.
And right here at the finish he baa come
Into his own.
Hughes Is one of the fow pitchers In
the league who will go to the majors for
hi* fall try-out In first-class shape.
If he does not mnke good, then n lot of
people In Atlanta will miss their guess.
Hughes has speed, control snd a good
head. Also he has other things In the way
tide curves, a nice drop hall and a fair
change qt pace. But the first hunch Is the
that couuts, especially the good head
part of It.
Nothing rattles Tom. He la always on
hand with the heat in the ahop, and It
makes no difference how much the fans
yell or how pickled la the support,
keep* right on speeding 'em over snd do
ing his liest.
Hughe* may not Jump right Into the po
sltloii of Clark Griffith's lending pitcher,
hut he will certnluly prove a valuable man,
and If he Improves for a couple of years
le way he has this summer he will go
ear to tho top.
Bobby (Silks' big find, Tony Smith, made
vo errors In the first Inning of the first
game Tuesday. But after that be ployed
bull like n veteran.
If Ilob Wallace could hat ns well ns he
in field he would he drawing $3,000 a year
before long.
He batted pretty much like n $5,000 man
Tuesday, at that. Fans have concluded
that he'll do for next year, all right.
Jordan wns In hard luck to get an or-
>r in the first game, for he put out
mnn on the play thst caused the trouble.
However, hts wild throw nllnwed a mnn to
advance a base, and the black mark was
Inevitable.
it I* not often that a put out Is re
corded from the center fielder to the short-
■top, but Wallace and Morse pulled It off.
lu the first came. Haley singled to center
and tried to bluff the populace Into think

Thinking Players
Valuable in Baseball
Baseball nowadays has been reduced to
such a science that the Individual thinker
does not stand out as he did In the old
days. Every one is supposed to know ex
actly what to do. Tho base runner Is sup*
IHindi to know, without signals. Just when
the hatter Intends to hit. Just which
hall he will strike nt, nnd the batter knows
Just which pitch the hose runner will run
on. Every one knows that with two out
snd a runner on first the third b a soman
and second baseman will make the throw
to first Imisc, nnd that If the ball Is hit to
the shortstop ho will throw to secoud.
Every throw and every move Is figured out
to mathematical precision, nnd the dullest
player can learn the system, yet there still
Is so much room tor thinking that tho man
whose brain Is ns agile ns his body shines
as n star, while the other fellow throws
away ball game*.
Never was this fact so Impressed ajon
tne ns a few years ago when I wss sitting
with Comlskey. Cominy wns talking, half
to himself, about Dick 1'adden, who wns
about ns quick a thinker ns ever played
tho game. "I can't understand It," solilo
quized the Old Itomnn. “He enn’t hit. He
can't run. He isn't good on ground balls.
He's not any too sure of thrown ball*.
Darned If he I* a good entrh of fly balls,
aud hi* arm la had.” He atnpned n moment
nnd then ndded: “But he's a nell of a good
ball player.—Hugh Fullerton In -Chicago

This Is the fourth gnmc taken by East

Scramble For Second Place
Is Still on in Dead Earnest
Billy Smith will be a disappointed
man unleaa the Crackers win both
game, Wednesday.
“This Is my birthday and 1 think that
the boys ought to win a couple of
games. Just by way of a celebration,"
aald Manager Bill Wednesday morning.
Manager Bill waa asked how old
he waa on this happy occasion and
right about that time Manager Smith
began to talk about the weather.
The question of whether or not a
double-header will be played with New
Orleans will be decided largely by the
result of Wednesday’s games. If At
lanta wins both games the chance for
the second place will be fairly good,
and Manager Smith will try a double-
header. If Atlanta loses Wednesday
then only one game a day goes for the
New Orleans series.
Just at present the race for second
place stands;
Memphis—Won 76. lost 54.
Atlanta—Won 75, lost 55.
Atlanta has six games left to play,
including Wednesday's double-heart.,
and provided a double-header Is 2
with New Orleans. 1 lei1
Just how many games Memphis h».
Is not certain, but probably only s v .
So if Atlanta wins four out
games, which ought to be easy ,2
Memphis loads three out of the' fi, p _
which seems more than probable IT
lanta will go to second place ’
These things may easily happen anrt
If they do then Atlanta will finish tK
season In second place and the i,ia V «!
will get the 31,000 bonu* by the
gin of .003. mar ‘
But .003 la plenty when It cornea t„
winning. An eyelash victory is „
good as any other kind, and much mor.
exciting. *
“I’m not going to play baseball n.«
year,” said Jim Fox, “but don’t netic,
that. I say It every fall, and every
spring i report about three days ahead
of time. When the sun comes out good
and warm every spring and the bird,
begin to sing I start for the railroad
station, with a bat in one hand and a
uniform In the other.”
Something of Baseball News
Clipped\ Rehashed, Copped
Last chance to see Llehhnrt without go
ing North next year," said Sir Chswles to
night, when he told the gang Lleher Glen
would perform against New Orleans Sun
day. “He’ll never come back, once he gets
there," concluded Babb with a sort of wist
ful look at the Baron.—Memphis Commer
cial Appeul.
No, if the great Glen’s arm has not been
ruined by overwork he Is pretty certain to
stick with the majors. Certainly he ranks
well with any of the pltehers sent out of
the Southern in many years.
Humor has It thnt Jimmy Collins, the de
posed manager of the Boston Americans, Is
to play third base for Philadelphia Ameri
can* next year. Since Love Crons departed
Connie Mack has dallied with Artie Brouth-
ers. Knight, Oldrlng nnd Lennox and all of
them have lieen snd disappointments. If
Jimmy Coilfim goes to Philadelphia he will
be team captain.
Of course the New Orleans club Is not at
tracting ns much attention now ns it did
when the l>oya threatened to run nwny with
the pennant nnd when the rubber hall agita
tion was at Its height, hot whenever Char
ley Frank appears even nt this late day
there Is fear nnd trembling. You can never
tell what the Dutchman will spring. It Js
easy to see through the Jealousy In other
towns. A very notorious fact which few
pafters In the South will admit Is thnt the
New Orleans club' has been for the last
three seasons the best drawing team on th*
road, and that Frank has put more money
lu the pockets of the other clubs than any
two managers.—New 'Orleans Item.
Well, what if he has?
He haa put plenty lu hia own, nnd that’s
what he la out for.
The Birmingham papers are still vigor
ously denying thnt Wilhelm ever Intended
to Jump tho Baron team or thnt he ever
said thnt he Intended to Jump.
And this happens to be the plnre where
“Little Era" hns the Birmingham will#*
fooled. Probably he never Intended to
Jump. Every time a ball player gets on a
particularly crusty grouch he swears be la
goltig to Jump.
The point Is that Wilhelm let It he gen
erally understood that he wna going to
Jnmp the Inat time be wna In Atlanta, and
anytiody who said thnt he didn't Is making
a large mistake.
It • la n rather, encouraging fact that a
bnll club entirely devoid of rowdy player*
Is winning the pennant In the National
I«engue. After what the Giant* and the
Pirates have done In years past It began
to look ns though only rowdy 1ml! club*
could cop the rug*.
Another thing about “tough team*"—thev
ly win pennants hut they kill twsehifi
__id team owner* will hare to decide In the
long run t»etweo» pennant winner* tnd
crowd keepers.
The “Spuds’* seem to be both.
