THE FIRST GAME
GOES TO ATLANTA
BY SCORE OF 3 T01
O’BRIEN MAY
DODGE TRIP
THE GREAT CY SEYMOUR
By a little wild throwing In the aec-
ong 'inning the Pirate* dropped the
flr*t game of Wednesday’* double-
header to Atlanta at the rate of 3 to 1.
The bunching of error* by the Shreve
port Inflelder* turned the trick without
the trouble of hitting.
The pitching of Zeller and Fl*her was
about of a whatne**, but Zeller got by
far the better of the support. Jim Fox'e
two-bagger wa* responnlble for the
Ncoring of Hoffman In the seventh In
ning. giving Atlanta margin enough to
keep them from working too hard.
Score:
San Francisco, Sept. 12.—Jack O’Brien,
the Philadelphia fighter, who lay* eluini
to the championship title on the Mtrengtb
of his defeat of Boh Fjtziduiuions, arrived
In Sap Francisco last night, cn route to
Australia, where he Is to box Bill Hqutres,
the best of the Antipodean big men.
The steamer- on which O’Brien propose*
to take passage sails Thursday, but It Is
Just possible that Jack may not make the
Journey.
It all deiiends upon what develops when
ho hss a conference with the local fight
trust today. If O'Brien secures a match
with Sam Berger, Al Kaufman. Tommy
Burns, or, lu fact, any one In the heavy
weight rlass, he will postpone his departure
to the Australian colonies.
O’Brien prefers Berger to nny of the
heavyweights, but thinks that Huniuel is lu-
ellned to dodge the Issue.
Hers is « snap shot of Cy Sey
mour, once the famous pitcher for
the New York National^, later a
member of the Cincinnati te..m,
and this year bought back during
the middle of the season for $10,-
000, to play In the outfield for tho
Giants.
Since returning to hie old teem

Hughe* I* one of the few pitcher* In
the league who will go to the utnjprs for
hi* fall try-out lu first-class shape.
If he does not make good, then a lot of
people In Atlanta will lulaa their guess.
Hughe* has speed, control nnd' a good
head. Also he has other thing* In the way
of wide curves, s nice drop ball and n fair
change of puce. Hut the first bunch I* the
no that counts, especially tho good head
part of It. **
Nothing rnttles Tom. He I* always on
hand with the licst lu the shop, and It
ninkes no difference how much the fans
yell or how pickled I* the support,
keep* right on speeding ’em over and do
ing III* l*e*t.
Hughe* may not Jump right Into the po
sition of Clark Griffith’s lending pitcher,
but he will certainly prove n valuable nun,
and If he Improves for a couple of year*
the way he inis this summer he will go
clear to the top.
lug bo hod made a two-bagger.
"Wbltey" was on hand at second base
his arrival to call the bluff.
It was a Joke to see Crosier racing
home ahead of the throw-In during the
fourth Inning of the second game. He won
vaslly, keeping 5 feet ahead of the ball
most of the way.
Odd double* are coming up quite fre
quently of late. Tuesday there was one
from catcher to first baseman. Hid Smith
caught Hess’ foul fly and then threw to
Fox, who tagged King several feet
first.
| League Standings j
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 I think that
the boys ought to w-ln 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 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 75. lost 54.
Atlanta—Won 75, lost 65.
Atlanta has six games left to play.
Including Wednesday’s double-heart.,
and provided a double-header i„
with New Orleans. 1 •“
Just how many games Memphis h..
Is not certain, but probably only fl v «
So if Atlanta- wins four out „f
games, which ought to be easy
Memphis loses three out of the five™
which seems more than probable .»
lanta will go to second place. '
These things may easily happen anrt
If they do then Atlanta will finish th.
season In second place and the plav.r.
will get the 11,000 bonus by the mar
gin of .003.
But .003 Is plenty when It comes to
winning. An eyelash victory i s ,,
good as any other kind, and much mor.
exciting.
■I'm not going to play baseball next
year,” said Jim Fox, "but don't notice
that. I say It every fall, nnil every
spring I report about three day. ahead
of time. When the sun comes out good
and warm every spring and the w r d,
begin to* sing I start for the railroad
station, with a bat In one hand and a
uniform In the other.”

"Last chance to see Llehhart without go

there,” concluded Babb with s sort of wist

No, If tho 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 seut out of
the Southern In many years.
Rumor has it that Jimmy Collins, the de
posed manager of the Boston Americans, Is
to play third base for Philadelphia Ameri
can* next year. Since Lave Cross departed
Connie Mack has dallied with Artie Brouth-
ers, Knight, Oldrlng and Lennox nnd all of
them have been sad disappointments. If
Jimmy Collins goes to Philadelphia ho will
be team captain.
