TOURISTS LOST BY ONE RUN
IN GREAT 11 -INNING GAME
Schultz and Hanks Gave
Up Seven Hits Each, and
Both Teams Erred Twice,
But One of the Augusta
Bobbles Came at a Bad
Time.
Jacksonville, 4.
Augusta, 3.
It took the Scouts 11 innings to
turn the trick. The Tourists played
them to a stubborn standstill, and
when the curtain went down both
teams were ready to rest. The big
gest. assemblage of the season turn
ed out, all available seats being taken
and a broad strip of the field was
given up to the overflow.
The Tourists won everything but
the game, for in the estimation of
that particular herd whose feet turn
coid every time they lose a game, the
Castro bunch is now elevated vastly,
while the fans of loyal persuasion are
quickened with new zeal.
The fans got plenty of action for
their money. The first round want
by in a flash, and in the second the
Tourists scored. McMahon drew four
wide ones and Carson sacrificed.
Castro sent a hot grounded to Bler
kotte, who threw to catch McMahon
at third, but the sorrel-top took it
headforemost and was safe. Carson
took the run for Castro, and while
Halford was carefully looking over
Schultz’s assortment he and McMa
hon worked a dazzling double steal.
On a throw to catch him off first,
Carson pranced down the line to sec
ond, and while they were trying to
head him off there with the ball Mc-
Mahon made a bold dash for the
plate. He got it by the skin of his
teeth.
The third inning afforded oppor
tunity for further activities, but noth
ing like a run turned up in the shuf
fle for either side. In the last half,
with one man down, McLauren led
off with a screaming two-base hit to
center field. Bierman grounded to
Dwyer, who let the hall slip through,
and everybody was safe. Hohnhorst
came up, and Schultz performed what
Westerveldt regarded as a finished
balk. He motioned Bierman to move
up a peg, but forgot McLauren.
Then followed much talkng in loud
tones. Schultz threw down his glove,
whirled like a cornered Thomas cat,
and hissed viilanous words into the
countenance of the umpire. Mullaney
lumbered up and handed him a few
verbal uppercuts, and then others
gathered around. But disliking so
much attention, Westerveldt switch
ed his position and the argument
ended abruptly. When play was re
sumed, Father Andy Roth slipped the
umps a friendly kid about It’s over
sight, but he never even wiggled.
It was in the seventh inning that
the Scouts shot ahead with a rtair of
runs. Peartree walked. Bicr.kotte
grounded out to tS2i - d. Then Roth
laid a beauty single past short, and
Peartree galloped across the rubber.
Schultz tore one off and sent it to
McMahon too hot to handle with dis
patch, and Roth was advanced to
second. Tansey fired another one into
McMahon which the sorrel top could
not scoop up in time, and everybody
was safe.. Then Reggy fired a ground
er point blank at Castro, who had
only time to throw to first, killing the
runner, and Roth scored. Taftee end
ed the suspense by grounding out.
The Tourists could do no better
than get a man to third in their half,
but held the Scouts back in the lirst,
half of the eighth, and in the second
section of that momentous stanza
they forged alongside. McLauren led
off with a single. Blerman followed
with a single over third. Hohnhorst
forced Bierman out at second. Mc-
Mahon popped up to the infield, and
things looked gloomy. But Tom (Tar
son camo up with his face set hard,
and determination in his eye. He
sniffed at two wide ones, swung at a
third, fouled the next, and met fthe
fourth square. The pellet sailed to
the center Held fence, and McLauren
and Hohnhorst galloped home with
the tieing scores.
Two more innings netted nothing
but worrysome suspense, and the
eleventh ended it all. Bierkotte, first
up, drew a pass. Roth bunted and
Hanks failed to fluid the ball. Schultz
was out for bunting the third strike.
Tansey flew out to McMahon. Reggy
came up, and Bierkotte crouched up
the line. Carson saw him take the
lead, and threw, but McMahon didn’t
get around In time, and missed the
bail. It bounded fifteen feet toward
the bleachers, and Bierkotte scored.
Only three men faced Schultz in
the last half.

SPORTITORIALS
President Jones has authorized an increase of the player limit In
the South Atlantic league. Mon\ay afternoon he received answer to
the last of his telegrams, and, Just as everybody had expected, a ma
jority of clubs favored the proposition. Whereupon the glad tidings
were flashed from town to town.
Let him who thinks that any manager in the league will not forth
with avail himself of the right, to hire a sufficient, team, lot the few
who claim they hnve that conviction, Just stop long enough to watch
evefy manager in the league get busy with a stack of blank contracts.
True it is that there be some who find it necessary to get busy, sot
there is no gainsaying the more or less well known fact that two clubs,
at least, were over the limit before President Jones authorized the in
crease.
No increase in the salary limit has been authorized. That matter
will be taken up at the next meeting of league directors—to be held
in Augusta at an early date —and thrashed ouL to a frazzle. And wo
guess the performance will make much noise, and stir up a dust. Some
want the limit left alone. Their argument is that every manager in
the league will exceed any limit, fixed, so what’s the use of allowing an
increase. They contend that if the limit Ir kept at $1,750 tbo excess will
not be as great as it would be if an Increase is allowed, plus the added
amount that every manager is practically sure to overstep. While on
the other hand, there be those who want a reasonable increase allow
ed, and want every club in the league to stay within that limit.
Negotiations are underway with Manager McAleer to get Paul Cold)
for the Tourist’s outfield. He is a brother of the famous Ty. Cobb.
Last year he played with Joplin, In the Western association, and was
drafted by the St. Louis Americans. But this year he dlti’t report,
owing to salary differences, and, although McAleer wants a good price
for Ills services, there is a chance that he may be seen in a Tourist uni
form on the same diamond that gave his famous brother a start in the
great national game.
Manager Dominick J. Mullaney declares that In his opinion Newt
Fisher ruined the best diamond in the southeri states when he set out
sod on the Warren park Infield. “That used to be the finest diamond I
most ever saw,’’ remarked the Old Scout last night, “but now it’s a dis
appointment. You mark what I say: there’ll be Just 25 per cent more
Infield grounders get through this year than last. A man s positively
can’t a grounder on that diamond this year. The harddr they are
hit erratic they liounce. I’m opposed to grass diamonds in
the minor leagues. Sure, they’re alright, when a club can afford to pay
a ground keeper something like $2,500 a year to keep them in condi
tion."
Umpire Westerveldt looks good. He startled everybody at the park
Monday—players included—by demonstrating to start with that he was
master of the field, monarch of all he surveyed. Bierman, the second
man np in the Tourists’ first half, idled aTOund first base a little too
long after they put him out, and further evineced a disposition to as
sist Count Castro on the coaching line. The same being altogether usual,
arid rarely noticed by an umps, unless the man lingers too long. But
Westerveldt. shooed Frltzle so quick the Dutch kid couldn't get a hunch
to what was wrong. The big one simply waved his arm, Bierman look
ed puzzled, the big one pointed to the bench, and that vr all. And
he has an ice-packed noodle, or we miss our guess. At Gain stage
of the game when every strike was precious, Ditcher Sell brew what,
he took to be a nectarine. But Westerveldt. saw it diff ly, and so
, pronounced -his decisoin. Scbultz threw down his glove, whirled, an.l
glared. Then he said unkind things. The big one didn't scowl, and
order Scbultz to close his face or pay money to keep on talking. No,
Mabel, be didn't do that. He Just bent down for the glove, handed it
back to Schultz on bith big paws, bowed, und smiled. Ho pronounces
the word "strike” so that two syllables are distinctly enunciated. Tho
nearest thing to It is this; “Stab rl-l-U« one; stab r-l-lkc two,” and
so on. *-
