TOMORROW's baseball games
puts the final period on the
Southern leagues baseball
season of 1912. And, as the chill
dren say, it's good radiance to
bad rubbish"
It's been a sorry season.
But yet 1t hasn't been a total loss.
z OR one thing, this sea son has
proved to the South and to the
baseball world what a really cork
ing good baseball town Atlanta is.
With p team that has been at the
bottom virtually all the season,
with club that for most of the
year was handled by a bull-head-
ed manager who took every op-
poTtunity to antagonize the public,
and during a season which for va
rious reasons, notably a presiden-
ttal campaign, has been a hard
one on many amusement enter
prises. the fans have fiocked stead
lily to Ponce DeLeon. They have
shown their gamencss and their
interest in baseball in way that
has been impressive.
uERE'S another angle. A year
ago this time the Georgia Rail-
way and Electric Company was
keen to sell the baseball club.
They didn't say so, but they were
In such a receptive mood that it

toward his effectiveness and it Is
generally conceded that when
Walsh is right he is absolutely in
vincible. But there are lots of
days when Walsh is not right"
and his experiences against the
Red Sox team this season will show
that he was often caught mapping.
OE WOOD. on the contrary, has
> everything. He has never re-
sorted to the splitter in his whole
career. With tremendous conf
dence in his speed his ability to
gauge the batsman's weaknesses.
his absolute control and his change
of pace, he has shown skill that
even those who conceded his great
ness never really appreciated be-
fore.
Unlike most OF the leading twirl-
ers, Wood does not rely upon his
back muscles His terrific speed
depends almost entirely upon the
strength OF his good right arm.
With long, free wind-up and I'M
erring aim he snaps the ball right
from the shoulder Bewildered
batsmen say that there Is a bigger
jump to his fast ball than that of
any other that they ever faced.
In many cases a fast ball pitch
er's effectiveness depends to a GER
tain extent upon intimidating the
batsman. In most cases the speed
pitcher tries the bean ball." that
is, shoots one in close to the bats
mans head, with the idea of MAX
ing him back away This bean
ball" has had the effect of driving
many great batsman out of the
business. 1t has robbed Dannie
Hoffman of his once great useful
ness, was the real reason for chas-
ing Freddie Parent from the big
leagues, while Charlie Carr, one of
the greatest first basemen in the
business and a splendid hitter, new
err was the same after he had his
nose broken in this manner.
Now and then johnson hits a
batter, Walsh beans" them on
occasions. but 1t is only in very
exceptional cases that Wood hits
the batter, as he has confidence in
his ability to keep the other fellow
from hitting without resorting to
this method of intimidation.

Season Winds Up With Crackers "Be Finished La
FANS HORRIBLE NIGHTMARE ENDS TOMORROW
By "Bud'' Fisher

sold at present at that price,
though it's worth it.
This decision of the street car
company to hold on to the fran
chise is undoubtedly for the best.
They are running it on liberal
lines. They are always willing to
spend money, They have provided
a good park and satisfactory
street car service to it.
1t might be possible that the
franchise would fall into the hands
of somebody who would treat the
fans better. But 1t would have to
be proved. And as a year, and
year-out owner of the franchise the
street car company, under the
guidance of President ArkWright,
has proved eminently satisfactory.
A MOTHER real son why the sea-
"a son is not wasted is that it
served to introduce to the fans
three game citizens-Major Frank
Galloway, Charles Nunnally and
Gus Ryan. These men have served
as officials of the Atlanta Baseball
association this year 1t has been
a tough job Under their pledge
to the public when they took the
positions, they have not interfered
with either manager. They saw
Charley .Hemphill run everything
entirely contrary to their notions
of how it should be run-and they
held their peace. They said he
should be manager in fact as well
as in name and he was. He made
failure of it-but the fault can't
be laid at their door.
They stuck to their word, gave
Hemphill free rein and a free
purse, and they died game.
They will be back in their old
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1912-09-14

positions next year, and if there
has been a word of regret spoken
because of this fact it has not
reached our ear.
A MOTHER reason why the pres
ent season will not, in the
long run, prove to be a total loss
is because it led to the securing of
Bill Smith as manager for 1918 and
1914. Bill seems to fit into the To-
cal job. He likes the city. The
fans like him. He has succeeded
here-as two pennants in four
years testify.
So, all in all, maybe the season
wasn't such a total loss as the
present standing of the club seems
to Indicate
There is, at least, next year to
look forward to.
Out of the shattered remains Of
the best team that ever finished
last" Bill Smith will develop a
framework around which he can
build a strong team.
There are some corking players
left-Agler, Alperman, HARRISON.
Bailey, Price, Becker and the rest.
Under Smiths management they
will be winners.
The best thing now is to forget
the horrible past. Ten years from
now nobody in the world can tell.
without consulting a guide, where
Atlanta finished in 1912 Three
months hence almost everybody
will have forgotten. And the fu-
ture stretches away as handsomely
as ever.
Maybe Atlanta will have a pen
nant winner next year-who
knows?

Manager Andrews. Il want you to
pitch today"
And from that hour Joe Wood has
been working himself up the lad
der OF fame as a hurler, until to-
day he stands on the top round.
r HAVE said that Wood is the I'M
disputed pitching champion OF
the American league But it Is also
my opinion that ne Is the best
pitcher in the country. There was
a time when Mathewson occupied
the pedestal by his lonesome. Even
now some critics claim Walsh is
the leading pitcher of all time.
But Matty's fame is fading, and
even Big Ed will be forced to ac-
knowledge. from his seasons show
ing. at least, that Wood is his mas
ter.
Walter Johnson alone, in my
opinion. can be rated anywhere
near Smoky Joe. And Woods rec
ords this season have an edge on
the Senator's.
A S every one knows. 1t was the
"spitbalr that saved Walsh's
reputation. Just when Walsh
seemed on the verge a few years
ago, of sinking into the ohscurity
of the minors. he tried his luck
with the spitball, mastered its con-
troll and leaped with suddenness
into the very front rank His size
and strength, ability to work every
other day. If necessary, has earned
him a reputation in this line that
brooks Of no rivalry But it is to
his strength and size that this rep
