TAKE 1 011 TO THE BILL GAME
When you take her out to the bajl game,
And you're packed in the stand with the crowd.
Isn’t it nice to have her ask you
In a voice that is fearfully loud,
"What makes that player who throws the ball
Wave his arms like that?”
And —“Don’t you think it’s mean in them
Not letting the umpire bat?”
And when a home player steals second atuj third
By a glorious slide to the base,
She says, “It’s cruel for the crowd to cheer
When that poor fellow fell on his face.”
Then you try to explain, and she says,
“Oh, I see! But why don’t the rest of the players
Wear an apron to keep their suits clean
Like the man with the muzzle on wears?”
And —“Why do you say the pitcher's no good
When he’s hitting the bat every time?”
And —“Why don’t the policemen arrest them?
Isn’t stealing bases a crime?”
******
Then after you've answered these questions
And two or three million more,
You ask in the crowd as you go out the gate
To find out what was the score.
SPORTITORIALS
Pitcher George Griffin’s brother will work in Wednesday’s game
againset Demaree, Ernie Howard’s only fresh man.
The team leaves tonight for Chattanooga. Chances are they’ll get
one game. If they get two they’ll do more than the others have done dur
ing the current home stay of the Lookouts, while if they should—a
dream this is—if they should cop three straights it would be the league
record.
You might as well make up your mind that, the Lookouts will
smash these Auguta pitchers. But let us hope and burn a high-priced
offering on the altar that they’ll not do our own dear Griffin—that shin
ing star-like they, did Wilson Matthews’ pet. What they did to Paige
will keep him bilious a month.
Wilson emits a cloud of cigarette smoke and growls that Johnnie
Dobbs ran in rubber balls. Bet your money, bo, that the live variety
will get stale in the ice chest while Count Castro's henchmen are
camped on that steep mountain side.
McMahon continues his good work at third. 'He got a fast grounder
yesterday that spun him around like a top. But that seemed to work
in his favor, for as he arrived at the precise angle he loosed the pill,
and centrifugal force whizzed it to Hohnhorst. That’s going some, eh?
Centrifugal force. Reckon Red is the only infielder in this league what
pegs that way.
Woodward caught a game. He has lots of ginger, and knows how
to work his batters fairly well. He has a strong arm, but it’s not lim
ber, which is natural, seeing that he hasn’t had a chance to work it out.
Tom Carson livened things up considerably with his gingery perform
ances on the lines.
It makes a big difference when the umpire satisfies both pitchers
on his balls and strikes decisions. The man who handled the indicator
yesterday is named Butler. Bill Davern says he lives in Savannah.
That’s all right, if he does. He’s one swell umpire, and you can lay
your change on that prediction.
Two players tried to up yesterday. Pelky was the first,
McMahon the second. The big Savannah first sacker camped on the
initial sack after he’d been thrown out, pronounced a dead one, and
the ball was in play aga,in. Hannifan called Butler’s attention to him.
Butler jerked his thumb toward the visitors’ bench. Pelky pretended he
didn’t understand. That, was enough for Umps Butler. He started after
Pel key and talked en route. What he said couldn’t be heard in the
audience. But it’s easy to imagine. Pelkey got back to the bench. Mc-
Mahon went from first to second on a foul and made the same stall
when Butler found him there.
So far as the log book shows there wasn’t, a lone kick against But
ler s balls and strikes decisions. He has an eye that sees ’em from
behind the mound. Gifford’s lamps can’t dope ’em out right, even when
he shoves his snout over the catcher’s shoulder. Wherein lies one of
the differences between an umpire and a man clothed with chest protec
tor, mask, indicator and authority.
Butler's voice made a hit with us. He knows enough English to
pronounce the four words: Strike. Ball, Out, and Safe, so plainly that
a spectator may know what he said. Here, again, we insist that the
quality of our umpires must be improving, for in respect of that quality
Gifford, Van Syckle, Daly and some others, too unwholesome to recall,
were sadly lacking.

INDIANS HIT HARD BUT
COULDN’T BEAT HANNIFAN
Poor Infield Work Lost
the Game To Augusta,
While Big Jim’s Steady
Twirling in the Pinches
Kept Down the Savan
nah Run-Getting.
Augusta 5.
Savannah 2.
If Ernie Howard would take his
infield behind the smoke-house and
instruct them in the gentle art of
handling bunts, they probably would
n’t blow up every time an opposing
team explodes a volley of the trouble
some, small calibre bingles in their
midst. Manush is a fine third base
man, but, like the giraffe, it’s hard for
him to browse low. Pelky at first
is as good as the average in this
league, but he can't catch a fast peg
in as many different places as Hohn
horst.
The Indians outhit us, but they
didn’t hammer hard enough to break
Hannifan’s luck. We’d like to take
a look at that fellow’s charm, what
ever it may be. With the bases full
he was as steady as the depot clock,
and he could always put ’em over
when the occasion necessitated con
trol.
John Wagnon, Joe Jackson and
Golden-Rod Murch led the visitors'
hitting. The former nailed three safe
ties. Jackson and Murch both got a
triple. If these fellows had come up
on one or two occasions when the
bases staggered under their load of
athletes and found Hannifan to the
same extent the score board might
have related a different story.
Castro’s henchmen started after the
big end early, scoring once in the first
Inning. With one out Biorkotte singled
and took second on Hohnhorst’s in
field out. Henn came up, and Deßalt
showed him one too many fancy knots.
While he was winding and unwinding
his lengthy anatomy Bierkotte stole
third, and on a passed ball romped
across .the plate.
In the second they scored again.
Coles led off with a single and was
sacrificed by McMahon. Woodward
grounded out to Manush and Coles
took third. Castro drove a grounder
to Huber that burned him a bit, and
he pulled Pelky’s foot off the bag.
The Count was safe and Coles scored.
It was in the third inning that the
rapid fire bunt performance put How
ard’s infield on the Fritz. McLauren
led off with a slow grounder to Man
ush, who pulled Pelky off the bag.
Bierkotte drew a gift and Hohnhorst
bunted to Manush. Again the big
third baseman hurried himself too
much. His heave missed Pelky’s up
stretched paws about a furlong, and
McLauren scored before the ball got
back to the diamond. Meanwhile Bier
kotte had taken third. Seeing how
sick it made the infield, Henn laid
down another bunt, and got away
with it. Pelky ran In to field the
pill and got it without a bobble, but
when he turned to throw the bag was
bald-headed. Bierkotte scored while
the other folks were gazing reproach
fully at Murch, and Hohnhorst got
away safely with third. The appear
ance of Coles sent another tremor
down Ernie's spine. But the last
shiver was extravagance. While Coles
was stalling Deßalt Henn was thrown
out trying to steal, and Hohnhorst
ran head foremost into the ball when
Coles missed it on the squeeze sig
nal. Then Cad fanned.
The sixth netted us the last run.
Hohnhorst started the deviltry again
with a bunt to Manush. This time,
however, the big fellow got It., but
Pelky dropped the peg, and Hornie
stayed safe on the first bag. Henn
followed with another bunt to Man
ush, and he threw it too feet wide,
Jakey being safe. Coles fouled out
and McMahon forced Henn at second
with -.s grounder to Murch. Wood
ward came up with determination
gleaming in both lamps, and missed
the ball three times. Not, however,
until Deßalt had heaved the ball over
Pelky’s head in an effort to catch
McMahon playing off the bag, allow
ing Hohnhorst time to score from
third.
Joe Jackson scored the first Savan
nah run, in the fourth Inning, on a
triple and Manush’s sacrifice fly.
Murch registered the other, in the
eighth. Leading off with a double,
he went to third on Jackson’s in
THE AUGUSTA HERALD
field out, and scampered home when
McMahon threw Manush out at first
on a red-hot grounder.

JAGS ALL SOBERED
'BY BEAN SOUP CURE
New Jersey Sheriff De
vises Unique Method of
Freeing Jail of Regular
Winter Boarders.
BURLINGTON, N. J—The “hoan
soup” remedy introduced by Sheriff
William W. Worrell ns one of his
economy and reform plans is not only
saving Burlington county several hun
dred dollars monthly, hut 41 is nmk
Ing more real converts for temper
ance than any number of "gold cures.”
Criminologists pronounce it a greater
success than his ‘wash and work”
edict.
Hoboes were the scourge of small
towns in the county when Worrell
went into office. Past conditions at
the jail had made it a handy winter
retreat, and hither they bled at file
first frosts, getting committed for
some small crime. When Worrell
made the tramp prisoners bathe, wash
their cells, and do all the work about
the jail, there was a bolt to other
counties, and a big saving on the
tramp board 1)111.
When the tramps deserted the pris
on work was given to the habitual
drunkards, who were sent up so often
that the jailers regarded them ns
steadies. But in addition the sherm
prescribed a daily menu of beanjspup
for ail such prisoners. One experi
ence under the “bean soup” program,
police officials say, is keeping more
men sober than the “flag commission,”
which the recent legislature author
ized to publicly blacklist drunkards.
Howls of some nf the prisoners un
der the unchanging diet are reaching
the outer world. Police Captain Shu
manl received this one, written from
jail. It says in part:
