Veddcr Hltton, the young gent who
pitched the best game of his career
Saturday when he defeated tin* strong
Pelican team, shutting them out. in
Ihe closing game or the year, and a<*
cldenlallv winning the pennant for
Nashville, Is a modest chap.
Bittnn is a hrothnr of Phil Sltton.
with the Atlanta team, but Is the el
der of the two, anti of more stocky
build and nhle to stand a faster puce
than Phil, bin this does not detract
from Phil's line performances.
These two brothers first began to
create a stir In the baseball world
when members of the Cletnson col
lege team, and it was predicted of
them that they would make their
mark In professional ranks.
Veddcr entered f'lemson before his
brother and made a success as a
twlrlir, and was recognized as the
leading college pitcher In tho south
Some two or three years later Phil
came along and duplicated the record
made by his elder brother.
Vedder broke Into professional
I ranks with Jacksonville in the South
Atlantic League, after having been
turned over to that team by Nashville
Hill Bernhard not thinking I/m quite
ripe for the Houlliern League While
with tile Scouts he pitched no run
and no-hit games with surprising fre
quency, and ft was Rltton'/ line right
arm that held the Scouts up In the
race and won the pennant for them
Phil Hltton eame to Atlanta for a
try-out this spring, but Hill Hmilh
shipp'd hlrn to Augusta, for the same
reason Bernhard shipped Vedder, and
he duplicated his brother’s trick by
pitching no hit and no run games, ami
was Instrumental In keeping Augusta
up In the race.
When the Volunteers were crippled
In the rifle pit a hurried call was sent
to Jacksonville for V< d<b-r, and as the
Scouts had a large margin lead that
could not be overcome, he was sent
to Bernhard and jumped right Into
tne Ilme-llght In the Southern
league, winning a majority of his
rsmen and pitching the samo article
of ball a all stag. that he dished
out while |n th • Hally League.

GIANTS RAVE RAG
SAFELY STORED,
SAIS CRANE
(By Sam Crane.)
NEW YORK. There were tnanv
lans who got cold feet on Saturday
over the Giants’ defeat by the Pirates,
hut they had no right to davelope
trap pcs underpinning. The McOraw
ites have the pennant virtually tuck
cd away In their .leans, and there Is
about ns much chance ot either the
Cubs or Pirates doing the burglar act
at this late day as the Brooklyn or
Cardinals playing for the world*
championship tigs fall.
When the Giants most, recent work
is taken Into consideration, the fact
1 lih' the fans are at a fearful la so
strange as to be ridiculous. The
(Hants, since leaving Chicago on Ati
gusl 30 lasi, have won 18 games and
lost two, a winning percentage of 900
end going some. They have not met
Ihe Cuba since then, of course, but
the Chicago bunch ’could not eveu
regain tho lead from the Giants
should Hie latter lose four straights
lo Die Windy City crew, figuring un
cording to tho Hlandlng of both clubs
this morning. Then, again. It must
be taken Into tho doflo that, the Cubs
Will be onllged to play a double-head
er in Philadelphia this afternoon, and
again at the Polo Grounds tomorrow,
for McGraw, who was never known to
bo shy on tho managerial end, will
doubtless show his usual shrewdness
by coming rißht back tomorrow with
two games. The Cuba owe oue game
here over what the schedule calls for,
and then the home club has the pri
vilege of selecting the day when t|i#
bargain day attraction shall be pall
ed off H Is not likely, therefore,
I hat McGraw will give Ills olosest ri
vals any more rest than Ihe law al
lows.
Everything 1s fair In lor® end war,
nnd If the present race hasn’t been
Du* merriest hnttln In the history of
baseball, there never was a bloodless
war. .
