Wagner. Before the drubbing was
completed they had scored four
runs in the first inning.
Waldorf, who had looked like
such an onion his only other time
out was making the Pelicans bat
like monkeys, and feeble monkeys
at that.
Perhaps of all the features of the
day Waldorf's work was the bright
est The big lad struck out four
batters in the three innings the
game lasted. encouraged two Peli-
cans to foul out and made two
others pop to inhelders. The only
other man hit weak grounder and
was out at first Three innings
without letting the Pelicans hit
the ball out of the infield was pref
ty clever going. Maybe this lad
isn't so worse after all. The Crack
er players say he has. more on the
BALI than any pitcher who has
worked at Poncey this season, and
that he will be hummer if he has
control
About the time It seemed sure
that the Crackers were going to cop
the game one of those rowing show
ers that now curse the land came
snorting toward the ball park. The
Pelicans saw it coming and yelped
with JOY
From the New Orleans view
point the rain was a trife slow in
coming And it steadily drew near
err to the fatefuf four and "a half
innings which, with the Crackers
ahead, would have constituted a
game SO the Pelicans dragged
things along in every known way.
Again and again did Umpire
O'Toole warn them to speed up
or take the consequences. There
haven't been any consequences, as
a rule, in the Southern league for
delaying ball games. So they
thought it was swell joke.
Just as the rain began to fall
Umpire O'Toole announced that the
game was forfeited to Atlanta.
And the the Pelicans will be a
long time getting over il,

Pitcher Ray Keatin was given good

President Corish OF the Sally league,

you. but enough in the third,
fourth and sixth innings. to lose the
game If Hemphill had needed the
warning of the fans and stuck in
another pitcher he might have
saved the day.
Even after the decision went
against the Crackers there was

league is going to let O'Toole

a MOTHER long home stay is
~ virtually over. And nothing
doing yet Today and tomor-
row single games will be played
with the Pellcans. The one today
is set for 4 o'clock Tomorrow's
game will start early, as the Peli-
cans are due at home and the
Crackers in Mobile on Sunday. and
they have to leave on a 500 .. m.
train
The home stay which is so soon
to end. has not done much for the
good of the cause. When 1t began
the Crackers were in next to last
place. They are still there. They
must now beat it down into the
torrid and tempestuous Southern
division for two weeks of trouble.
Yet there isn't man who has
seen the games of the last two
weeks who is the least downheart-
ed over what ought to be a pretty
distressing situation.
For the Crackers are looking right
enough at last and it Will be SUR
prising if they don't beat it right
down into the Southern division
and trim the four Southern clubs
on their own diamonds.
n HANGING pitchers ts a ticklish
business. More considerations
dreams of
In the first place. there is the
question, Is it necessary" Many
a pitcher wabbes who eventually
pulls himself together. Even the
most expert of managers finds him
self puzzled in almost every game
to know whether his pitcher is
merely pickering or whether he Is
really in need of help.
In the second place. a manager
must ask himself will it do any
good ."
Not all managers have an Ed
Walsh to fall back on in distress.
1t doesn't do much sgood to take
out one pitcher who is being drub-
bed in order to put in another who
will get the same dose.
Thirdly. especially in the smaller
leagues, a mogul must ask himself,
Can ! afford it,"
The pitching supply in the
leagues that have narrow player
limits, as the Southern has. is
small. With doubleheaders piled
up and a lame arm or two on the
staff a manager is up against it.
He may take out pitcher who is
going bad. only to send in another
who will do the same and be forced
finally TO use three men-which
may mean a half or even three
flfths of his staff
Fourthly the manager will have
TO inquire of himself before he
changes pitchers. What will be the
psychological effect on the staff ?"
The fans don't think Of this side
of II at all. The truth is. though,
a manager hates to relieve a timid
pitcher II he does the next time
this pitcher works he will begin
