Last Spark Of Cracker Hope Now Extinguished
Smiths Men Did It, But Nobody Bames Bill

Smith, sorely wounded by the pros
pect of finishing worse this season
than ever before in his managerial
history. For in the seventeen years
he has been a manager he has never
before finished worse than sixth.
And only three times before has he
finished in the second division.

Lyman johnson hurled for the
Crackers, and really hurled very
useful game. but errors cropped
out in his support at critical times,
and when the Lookouts mixed some
timely hits with them, runs were
scored
The Crackers were a trife too
daring on the base lines, and would
probably have scored more than
one run had they not attempted to
stretch hits or go an extra station

Bailey's Work Feature.
Harry Bailey's great running
catches in left field were easily the
feature Of the game. He made
critical error on a fly by Coyle. but
he robbed Mickey Of an extra base
hit a few innings later, and electrl-
fed the crowd by racing to the flag
pole in left center and capturing
Gray's long drive that looked good
for homer.
Coyle's first base play was the
feature from a Chattanooga stand
point.
The Crackers counted their only
tally in the second inning, NOEL

third; Reynolds walked; Humpty
was forced at third on Callahan's
roller. Wolfe kicked in with a
timely bingle and Reynolds scored.

In their half of the same inning,
the Lookouts scored the runs that
really won the game with one

a hard run In deep center. Coyle
flew to left, but Bailey dropped it

which the two runners counted.

walked. Covalesl1e forced him at

playing baseball but two years.
Imagine starting Dug" Harbi-

spring as a manager. Yet they
have had two years experience and
they are nearly the age of Bill
Smith when he started.
Perhaps more marvellous still,
this Ohio kid bumped right into a

and as manager of Lynchburg he
finished second. The next year,

A MOTHER record that Bill holds
is all his own and is one that
nobody will contest with him. Will
liam has, beyond all question, con-
sumed more tobacco during the
playing season than any living
manager.
Bill hasn't any fixed amount per
day or per game. But he comes to
every game provided with two lib
eral-sized plugs. If his team is a
winner all the way, he will just nib
BILE the edges of one of them. If
it is a close contest he will eat
most Of both of them.
1t would be a fair estimate to say
that Smith ruins one plug Of to-
bacco a game and one more during
the course of the days business.
Now, in the last seventeen years
Smith has witnessed or played in
something like 5000 games. count
ing spring exhibitions, post season
affairs and the like. On a basis of
two plugs of tobacco a day, this
means that he has worried away
close to 5000 plugs during the
playing seasons.
Placed end to end, these plugs
would measure 500 yards-over a
quarter of a mile.
Stacked on top of each other,
they would rise to a height of 16s
feet.
They cost an aggregate of $500.
Their weight was approximately
$50 pounds.
AS a tobacco fiend, Smith stands
unequaled. 1t is his prize dissipa-
ton. And he goes to it strong.
A MOTHER chanter in Bill Smiths
career is drawing to an end.
1t hasn't been a particularly pleas
ing chapter. On October he will
turn over new page, take hold OF
the team that brought him his
greatest glory and set out on a voy-
age of two years duration-with
the destination PennantVille-but
with reefs, lodges, hurricanes, pi-
rates and half a million sorts Of
trouble between him and his tenta-
tive terminus
