BY J. H. S.
It has been a disastrous trip for the
Com backs, so far. But what’s the
“diff," the curtain will fall on the first
half of the season Thursday afternoon,
and then all the clubs will be on an
even footing again Then will be tho
time to w'atch the Combacks, for they
are certainly going to rise!
-—...i
It is a well-known fact that Mana
ger Brouthers has the best aggregation
of baseball players in the league, with
the exception of the pitching staff—
this is weakened on account of “Babe”
being unable to procure another good
twirler. When this addition is made
there will be nothing to it but Augus
ta, that is as spoken of as a league
leader—“Babe'’ will probably obtain
his man in time to begin the second
half. At least It is hoped so.
The Combacks meet Manager Foxes
aggregation tomorrow afternoon in
the final series on the road before re
turning to this burg. Let's cop this
senes “Babe" Just to show the knock
er that it's In the old team l
•
The box score, as received “over the
wire,” occasionally has left-fielder
Smith doing duty as a twirler for tho
locals. Wonder If he is as good In the
box as he Is in the field? If he is,
let”s keep him there! What’s' his re
cord in the past anyway as a twirler,
we’ve looked him up in the “sport
guide" (at least tried to) but there's’
so many “Smlckeys" in the game that
iti”s sort of confusing.
Talk about your “slugging pitchers,”
"Babe”’ seems to have one in his fold,
In the shape of Snyder. Out of three
times at bat yesterday he managed to
find the pill for two hits and the best
part of it he made one count—speak
ing of this lad, he’s certainly doing his
share as a twirler. In fact he has a
reputation in this burg as the lad who
"Just cah't lose a game.”
Berger is back on the Job in his old
position as back-stop. Guess Brouth
ers is giving Wallace a chance to ob
serve the game from the bench—-Wal
lace let the winning run come in Fri
day afternoon when he let the pill
pass by htm.
Maekert Is now stationed on first—
some all-around ball player isn”t he?
Since “Mac” has been with this club
he has played every position, that is,
with the exception of being one of the
battery. Keep Is up “Mac,” old boy.
Brouthers is making somewhat of a
name for himself while on the road,
as a "grouch.” "Babe" has his trou
bles and therefore he has a right to
be a little fussy. These road knock
ers are mistaken though, for he’s’
simply “a fighting manager." This fact
will be proven during the second half
of the season, for Brouthers intends
to go after the laurels as a leader of
the first section.
The club will arrive in Augusta
Thursday morning, and will prepare
to tackle the Columbia Comers in a
series of three games. After these
games are played the road will be hit
again and the local fans will not be
given a chance to see them here again
until the 26th of this month. An at
tendance record Is expected for these
three games, so let’s’ not disappoint
the lads.
