The Birmingham age-herald., 1911-09-25


 between Brooklyn and the Reds Tues day. The game started with a four run lead for Brooklyn. It was secured by passes to Daubert, ex-Memphian. and Northern. ex-Chattanoogan; a single by Wheat. exMobilian; 8 double by Red Smith, ex-Nashvillian, and the last. a single by Hummell. which scored the fourth, the only part of the proceedings .ot perpetrated by a Dixie grad.
 More than that. after Steele went to the bad. and Cincy tied the score, Fucker, ex-Atlantan, came in and stemmed the tide
 Then came ninth inning rally. It was started by Jud Daley formerly of Montgomery, batting for Fucker. Jqd got bingle Northern leased the Red pit her for free ticket. Daubert sacri- ticea the two along. Red Smith hit a seorchlng single and two scored. win ming the game.
 IL will be noted that six Southern league cties-Mobile, Montgomery. Nash vile. Memphis. Atlanta and Chatta- nooga-were represented in that victory Tor the Dodgers. No wonder Ebbetts likes the Southern leaguers. l Says the Commercial-Tribune of Hub Northern:
 Hub Northern made most excellent showing here in his first game with the superbas Walked and scored twice and got a single in five trips to the plate. The superbas were joined yesterday by Northern, Daley. Miller of Atlanta and several other drafted players Why is Rube Benton wild since he reached the majors?
 The tall southpaw lost another game yesterday through his passes. Yet he fin ished the season in Chattanooga with
 practically perfect control. His record shows as follows: Full games pitched s1; bases on balls. 6l.
 l The average is less than two per game
 and even that record was distanced in
 the latter part of the season. the Rube
 having been quite wild in the earlier games In his last 15 games with Chat taaooga Rube only passed % men-which ! is going some for control.
 Hub Northern, according to the dope Of his work given by major league sport writers, has only one obstacle in the way or his making good with Brooklyn and one that was apparent during his stay with the Chattanooga club. Ii is his in ability to judge fly balls. In one of the Ciney games Hub misjudged a fly and allowed it to go for three sacks His hit ting kept him from getting a bump on account of it. the Cincy scribes merely remarking on the misplay.
 Atlanta Georgian: Atlanta fans are pretty well satisfied at the decision of the Georgia Railway and Electric company to keep the baseball franchise. They want some men behind the baseball associa- tion who are willing to spend their money. who have the coin to weather the storms of bad seasons. and men who will run the team in a sportsmanlike way. The Georgia Railway and Electric company seems to fill the bill.
 | Certain it is that through all the howl ings and knocldnss of a tail end year there have been but few verbal wallops for the owners of the club
 Such mistakes as have been made in the past in running the baseball association can be corrected before the coming season starts. Every kick, legitimate or other wise, that the fans feel they have com ing to them can be forestaled Before next season the Georgia Railway and Electric company will divorce itself abso- lutely from the baseball end of the At lanta Baseball association Nobody con- nected directly with the street railway company will hold any office, save that or business manager in the new com pany. Some good. live, popular, efficient baseball man will be put in charge as president, at salary. Most of the work will fal lon lis shoulders There will also be a board Of directors, made up. doubtless. of local baseball fans They will have little to do save to meet once or twice year to approve the actions of the president.
 This scheme ought to work out we'll
 When the new manager gets on the job. which will doubtless be before long now, he will' find things in pretty good shape. There are a few real ball players left over from this year. Wells will make handy second catcher. Several Of the pitchers should do good work next year under changed conditions. Earl Sykes work at first would suit the most fas- tidious. Al ODell is a corking third baseman. and will be a big help in 1912 There will have to be a new outfeld of course, but getting outfielders isn't usu- ally great trick. In Kid Howard the crackers have as promising a utility man as one cares to watch.
 Whether Jordan is back at second base will depend on many things.
 From all tine information we can ob- tain (and 1t has been pretty reasonably accurate of latel. there is not the slight est earthly chance that Jordan will be re- tained as manager next year. The base Eall folks realize. well as Jordan does himself. that he didn't have half chance this year, and that hard luck was what put him to the bad. But for all that, the Georgia Railway and Electric company has declared for complete change of Of fcials- and it is just as certain to in dude Manager Jordan as it is President Heisnan, MT. Arkwright and Mr. Glenn
 Whether Jordan will go back az a play CT will be largely up to him. His services have been given to the baseball asso- ciation Sd faithfully that the men behind 1t are pretty likely to give him either his release or his position as second base man. at a corking good salary-just whichever he wants
 And not improbably Jordan will choose the latter. Atlanta is Jordan's homo, and it is unlikely that he will care to l change.
 Not improbably the announcement of the change in presidents. managers, d. rectors and such will not be forthcoming
 until the regular annual meeting of the | baseball association, which is slated fol | October. It Is even possible that onl, | the new association officials will be named then and that it will be left to the new crowd to select a manager.
 1 All of which being in a fair way tc settle itself. we can now turn to a peace 1 fui consideration of the football season
