Groat game, haseoall—especially when the home team wins.
And the home team had a prolonged apostil of winning at Peldmont park Tues
day afternoon and took two games from the souiewhat-bnttered-but-stlll-ln-the-
ring representatives of the brisk little village of Shreveport. ,
The scores were 8 to 0 and 4 to 1.
It is quite fashionable In the Houthern this year to pitch both games of a don*
Me-beader. Llebhordt made the stunt locally famous, and Tom Hughes fell In tide
Tuesday by twirling both games. That he was successful Is quite obvious from
the scores.
With any kind of luck, Hughes would have gmte the full sixteen Innings with-
out having n run scored against him. In the fifth Inning of the second, Haley man*
aged to score one on 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 tails aud struck
out ten men. At /he finish, Tom seemed as full of steam as at first, and burned
them over with terrific speed.
In the opening game, “the features”—as the youngsters put It—“was the heavy
hitting of the home team.” Frits was most ardently lambasted. Jordan made three
out of four. Fox and Sid Smith three out of four, and Hoffman two out of four.
I'he fielding of the Crackers was all to the fancy-work also, and the Pirates had
never a chance.
In the aecond game Gllks sacrificed “Kitty" Beeker. This yonngster did not
allow manr hlta, hut be waa unfortunate B» patting the Brat man up three dif
ferent times nnd then In allowing somebody to bat the runner home.
The game was a 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, and Wallace did noticeable work In the field.

Son Francisco, Sept. II—Jack O'Brien,

to the championship title on the strength
of his defeat of Bob Fltxslmmons, arrived
lb San Francisco last night, en route to
Australia, where he la to box Bill Squires,

The steamer on which O'Brien proposes
to take passage sails Thursday, but It la
Juat 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 Ram Berger, A! Kaufman. Tommy
Burns, or. In fact, any one In the heavy*
weight class, he will postpone his departure
to the Australian colonies.

heavyweights, but thinks that Samuel Is In

Special to The Georgian.
Montgomery, Ala., Sept. 11—This week
ends the baseball season In Montgomery
nnd Abe fans are glad.
Home changes have been made In the
IIno-up for the last week of play.
Nolly, a Montgomery boy, has !»een play
ing right field, and has l>een showing up
pretty well. Gultteres was switched from
right field behlod the bat; Hausen went to
*< • ond and March went to short, so that
Kid Busch could have some rest.
Pitcher Maxwell has left for Pittsburg,
where he goes to play the rest of the sea-
eon. He was purchased from Montgomery
for $2,500 nnd the first Instalment has ltcen
paid. He has pitched good ball for Mont
gomery and may make a valuable man
for Pittsburg.
Although no figures can be obtained as to
the attendance In Montgomery It Is thought
that It Is almost as much ss last year,
though probably a little under. Montgom
ery’s team last season showed up much
1-etter am! that la'what drew the crowds.
The association, so It Is understood, Is In
n splcudld financial condition aud Is ready
for the next season.
John Mnlnrky has developed Into one of
tl.<- finest pitchers In the league, nnd with

DOUBLE-HEADER NOTES,
MOSTLY ABOUT HUGHES
Scramble For Second Place
Is Still on in Dead Earnest
Billy Smith will be a' disappointed
man- unless the Crackers win both
games Wednesday.
"This is my birthday and 1 think that
the boys ought to win a couple of
games,, just by way of a celebration,"
said Manager Bill Wednesday morning.
Manager Bill was asked how old
he was 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 wilt be fairly good,
nnd Manager Smith wUl 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 64.
Atlanta-Won 76, lost - 65.
Atlanta has six games left to play,
Including Wednesday's double-h f ^..
and provided a double-header is
with New Orleans. 13 Wayaj
Just how many games Memphis h».
Is not certain, but pfobably only «...
So If Atlanta wins four out 0 f
games, which ought to be easy
Memphis loses three out of the hv.
which seems more than probable 17
lanta will go to second place '
These thing3 mny easily happen ...
If they do then Atlanta will finish th.
season In Becond place and the n|*nZ
will get the 61,000 bonus by the m,,
gin of .003.
But .003 Is plenty when It comes tn
winning. An eyelash victory is „■
good as any other kind, and much mor.
exciting. - ,
•Tm not going to play baseball nwt
year," said Jim Fox, "but don't notice
that. I say It every fall, nnd even-
spring I report about three days ahead
of time. When the sun comes nut good
ond warm every spring and the birds
begin to Bing I start for the railroad
station, with a bat In one hand and t
uniform in the other."
Something of Baseball News
Clipped, Rehashed, Copped
We all owe an apology to Tommy
Hughes. We used to tbluk that Llchhurdt
was the t>cst pitcher In the league.
And all the time, the honor belonged to
Tommy.
Ahd right here at the flntab ho his come
into hit own. v
Hughea la one of the few pltchera In
the league who will go to the tnajora for
Ida fall try out In firat-clasa ahape.
If ho doea not wake good, then a lot of
people In Atlanta will mins their gueaa.
Hughea haa apeed, control nnd a good
head. Aleo lie haa other things In tho way
of wide curves, a nice drop ball and a fair
change of pace. But the flrat bunch ta the
that counts, especially the good head
part of It.
Nothing rattles Tom. He Is always on
hand with the !>est In the shop, and. It
makes no difference how much tho fans
veil or how pickled la the support,

Hughes tuny not Jump right Into the po
sition of riark Griffith's leading pitcher,
but be will i-ertalnly prove a valuable man,
and If he Improves for a couple of years
the way he has tbit summer he will go
clear to tho top.
Bobby Bilks’ big find, Tony Smith, made
two errors In the flrat Inning of the flrat
game Tuesday, But after that he plnyed
ball like a veteran.
If Bob Wallace could bat ni well aa lie
can field he would* be drawing $5,000 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 waa In hard luck to get nn er
ror In the flrat game, for he put out one
man on the piny that caused the trouble.
However, bis wild throw allowed a man to
advance a »***, aud the black mark waa
inevitable.
la not often that a put out la re
corded from the center fielder to the short-
atop, but Wallace and Mom* pulled It off.

Thinking Players
Valuable in Baseball
Baseball nowadays has lw*en reduced to
such a science that the Individual thinker
does not stnnd oni as he did In the old
days. Kvery one is supposed to know ex
actly what to do. The base runner Is sup
posed to know, without signals, Jnst when
the batter Intends to bit, just which
ball he will strike at, anil the batter knows
just which pitch the base runner will run
on. Every one knows that with two out
and n runner on first the third baseman
and second baseman will make the throw
to flrat base, am! that If the ball Is hit to
the shortstop he will throw to second.
Every throw nnd every move Is figured out
to mathematical precision, and the dullest
player can learn the system, yet there.still
Is so much room for thinking that tho man
whose brain 1m ns agile ns bis body shines
ns a atar, while tho dther fellow throws
away ball games. y
Never was this fact no impressed upon
c ns a few years ago when I was sitting
with Comlaker. Coming was talking, hnlf
to himself, about Dick Hadden, who was
nlw»ut ns quick a thinker ns ever played
the game. ”1 enn't understand It,” solllo-
qulxed the Old Homan. ”He can’t hit. • He
can't run. He Isn't good on ground balls.
He’s not any too sure of thrown balls.
Darned If he Is a good enteh of fly bulls,
nnd his nrm Is bad. He stopped a moment
and then added: “But he's a hell of a good
twilf player.—Hugh Fullerton In Chicago

GOOD COACHES
Special to The Georgian.
Naihrllle, Tenn., September 12.—Vander
blit football playera are making their
marks these dnya um coaches, Hera Is a
partial list of recent graduates and the
colleges or schools where they are teaching
nnd coaching:
Bob Patterson, Georgia Military acad
emy.
Jesse Sibley, Stone Mountain.
Ed Hamilton, Columbia Military Insti
tute, Columbia. Tenn.
Innls Brown, Southwestern Presbyterian

“Bull'' Brown, Memphis University
school, Memphis, Tenn.
John Kdgerton. Columbia Military insti
tute, Columbia. Tenn.
Will Fltsgeratd, Fitzgerald school, Tren
ton, Tenn.
Tony Smith, manager Gllka' new short
stop, seems to be the find of the end of
the season. He Is, In Manager Gllks* opin
ion, juat ns good n man today as Byrne
was at his bear, and that's pretty good.
Manager Gllks lauded Smith from Gal
veston In the South Texas League. “I waa
pretty lucky to get him,” auld Manager
Gllks, “for a lot of other men had gone
through there before me. Bnt those sand
Infields In the Texas league are the worst
In the world nnd you have to Judge a ball
player by the way he handles himself and
not by the uuml>e rof errors they make.'*
Manager Gllks also landed Massing, a
catcher of the Houston Club on his re
cent trip through Texas, bnt this man will
not report until fiext year. He also plans
to draft a couple of men from the league
when the Class A drafting season opens,
which Is October 15.
•Last chance to see Ltebhart without go
ing North next year," said Sir Chawles to
night, when he tohl the gang Lleber Glen
would perform against New Orleans Sun
day. “lie'll never come bnck, ouce he gets
there," concluded Babb with a sort of wist
ful look nt the Baron.—Memphis Commer
cial Appeal.
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 pitchers sent out of
the Southern |n many years.
Humor has It that Jimmy Collins, the de
posed manager of the Boston Americans, Is
to piny third base for Philadelphia Ameri
cans ne’xt year. Since I Jive Cross departed
Connie Mack has dallied with Artie Broth
ers, Knight, Oldrlug and Lennox and all of
them have been sad disappointments. If
Jltntny Collins goes to Philadelphia he will
be team captain.
Of course the New* Orleans club Is not at
tracting ns much attention now as It did
when the boys threatened to run away with
the pennaut nnd when the rubber ball ngita-
tlon was at Its height, bat whenever Char
ley Frank appears even at this late day
there Is fear nnd trembling. You can never
tell what the Dutchman will spring. It Is
easy to see through the Jealousy In other
towns. A very notorious fact which few
papers In the South will admit is that the
New Orleans dub has been for the last
three seasons the best drawing team on the
road, nnd that Frank has put more money
In the pockets of the other clubs than any
two mntiuger*.—New Orleans Item.
Well, what If he has*/
He has put plenty In his own, and that's
what he Is out for.
The Birmingham papers are still vigor
ously denyihg that Wilhelm ever intended
to Jump the Baron team or that he ever
said that he intended to Jump.
And this linppens to be the place where
“Little Eva" lias* the Birmingham scrlbei
fooled. Probably he never Intended to
Jump. Every time a ball player get* on a
particularly crusty grouch be swears he is,
going to jump.
The point is that Wilhelm let It be gen
erally understood that he was going to
Jump the last .time he w*ns In Atlanta, and
anyliody who said that he didn't Is making
a large mistake.
It Is a rather encouraging fact that a
ball club entirely devoid of rowdy plnyeri
Is winning the pennant In the National
League. After what the Giants nnd the
Pirates,have done In years past It l>egan
to look as though only rowdy ball cluba
con)* cop the rags.
Another thing about “tough teara»"-ther
..jay win pennants hut they kill baseball
and team owner* will have to decide In the
long run between pennant winners aod
crowd keepers.
The “Spuds" teem to be both.
