Cracker Pitchers Are Helpless Before Baons Amuck
LOCALS DROP TWO IN DRAGGY DOUBLE=HEADER

both of them out of the way fast.
But when they were confronted
with two nine-inning contests, they
knew that they would have to go to
dark, anyhow, so they asked them
selves: What's the use of hurry
ing?" And, there being no answer
except one in the negative, they
didn't hustle. They just loafed
along like a lot of old cows in a
shady pasture lot on a hot summer
afternoon. and the game dragged
like a foreign missions sermon at
dinner time.
This nine inning double-header
stuff is going to be felt in the box
office. Every man, woman, child
and yaller dog at the park yester-
day was gorged on baseball before
the affair was over. They showed
it by beginning to depart soon aft
er the first game ended They not
only had enough for the day, but
enough for the week double
header like that of yesterday elimi-
mates the enthusiasm from every
person who sees 1t. And its i'll eff
fects will be felt at the box office
all the rest of the week.
If there is a logical reason for
playing nine innings in double
headers, we haven't heard it adj
vanced There isn't any especial
reason why a game should go nine
innings, anyhow 1t is an entirely
arbitrary matter. 1t might as well
be eight innings or ten as far as
any logical reason goes. And for
any manager to maintain that his
team has a better chance to win
in nine innings than it has in seven
is ridiculous and demonstrates that
he overlooks the fact that the two
added innings give his opponents
just as good a chance to change the
results as it does his own team.
JIMMY JOHNSON, whose work
J has been one of the sensations
of the Southern league this season,
pulled something on the Crackers
yesterday. He scored from first on
a single. Do you get that? From
first on a one base hit!
OF course, if the scorers had
cared to be vicious they could have
given Walter East an error on the
play and not been far wrong. With
Johnson on first. Marcan. the dem

WORK At CLOSE
QUARTERS WINS
GO FOR PERRY

over Jack Robinson at the

u RUTE strength alone won a
n decision for Jimmy Perry
over Jack Robinson at the
Gate City club. The bout went the
ten rounds scheduled and neither
man in any danger of being knock
ed out at any stage of the milling.
A long left hand, which Robinson
seldom failed to land at range, gave
the boy from Chicago the best of
the boxing, but that let him out.
Every time Perry got in close he
would work both hands to the body
until Robinson frightened up like a
clam
Perry announced before the fight
that he intended going East after
bigger game after he finished with
Robinson. On the showing he made
last night he would prove a mark
for such men as McGoorty, Moha
and Gibbons 1t was bv far the
worst fight he ever put UP in this
city.
Perry forced the fighting all the
way; he landed the heavier punches
and the cleanest ones, too Robin
son kept popping away with a left
1ab that didn't have enough sting
to it to break an electric bulb. And
that is the only punch he uncorked
all during the mill
The first three rounds belonged
to Perry In the fourth Robinson's
left hand won him the spasm. The
fifth and sixth were even. In the
seventh Perry hooked two hard
lefts to the jaw and thereafter
during the session Robinson did
nothing but stall and hold on.
Perry was every bit as tired as
Robinson in the eighth and there
was nothing but wrestling and
clinching in this session. The ninth
belonged to Robinson. because he
outboxed the Pittsburger. although
neither man landed a blow that
counted for much
The final round was even. Both
boys were over anxious. During
the first part of his session Robin
son got his left hand working pref
tily, but during the latter part,
Jimmy brushed the southpaw leads
away and worked in close At the
bell he was pounding Jacks body
good and plenty.
All the fancy work was executed
by Robinson. and this caused his
admirers to believe he earned al
least a-draw But the real fight
ing was all done by Perry.
Another fight between this pair
rwould. undoubtedly, draw the big
gest house that ever attended a
mill in Atlanta.
In the semi windup Spider Britt
stopped Johnny Herndon in three
rounds.

IND you ever see a staid old
buggy horse run away? 1t
begins by feeling frisky.
Then something startles it. In a
flash it is off. Down the road it
goes. the buggy rafting and sway
ing along behind it. And all Heck
couldn't stop It!
Well it was exactly that way
with the Birmingham team yester-
day. Nothing could have headed
it. The Barons are usually staid
and sober enough. But yesterday
was their skittish day. And they
sure skitted. They tore round and
round the bases, through deadly
long afternoon, with the Crackers
waving their hands and shouting,
whoa, boy; whoa" at the top of
their lungs. And it did about as
much good as 1t would to say,
"Fie, f1e!" to a Malay when he
started to run amuck.
The result of the whole sad af-
fair was that when the long shad-
ows began to fall athwart the bat
tie SCARED field. which they even
tually did, to the extreme relief of
all, the Barons had acquired two
more games, scores 10 to and

pitchers. And the full RESPONSE

bases and the four bases on balls.
not to mention the one wild pitch,
that were given up by the Cracker
hurlers.
THE mistake of trying to play
double headers of the full
efghteen-inning variety was never
more clearly demonstrated than
yesterday. Ofpcourse, owing to the
depressing length of the first game
1t was possible to play only seven
innings of the second game. or six

AUTO RACERS WILL DRIVE
ON WET TRACK TOMORROW

INDIANAPOLIS, May 29-That
death will take its toll from sport to-
morrow when the giant racing cars en-
tered for the 500-mile races here pound
their way around the motor speedway
is the belief of automobile experts who
are here to watch the race That it
may mean the end of big auto racing
events was the prediction of some of
these men.
The track is slippery from recent
rains. Even a slight shower between
now and the time for the opening Of
the race would keep it in that condition.
The cars racing this year are larger
and faster than any ever before entered.
The time made in the elimination trials
indicates that the big cars will maintain
a speed never before dreamed of in such
an event. Twenty five cars with the
most daring drivers in the country will
compete.
All these things, say the motor ex-
perts, indicate that many accidents will
occur before the race is over.

passed second as the ball did,
reached third when Hemphill start
ed the ball home and then raced it
for the plate. East relayed the pill
and his throw was way toward
third base, instead of being right at
the plate. as 1t should have been.
The result was that Johnson had
chance to slide to safety. 1t was
grand base running and Johnson
deserved It, At the same time If
East's throw had been even fairly
good, Johnson would have persisted
at the platter.
T JOHNSON wasn't the only man
) who pulled an odd play yester-
day. Please credit R Almeida, of
Cuba, with one. For he pulled a
wild throw to second and then
backed himself UP on it.
1t was in the seventh inning of
the first game. East had walked
and O'Brien grounded to Almeida.
The Cuban fielded the. ball handilN.
but threw low to second and the
ball got by Marcan, who dashed in
to force East at second. The sphere
hit the bag and rolled on toward
right field. with nobody to field 1t.
Like a flash. Almeida set sail for
it. And before Marcan or ELAN
or Messenger could get to it. the
gent from the Red Republic had
swooped down on the pill and man
aged to hold East at second. 1t
isn't every day in baseball that
a baseman backs himself up on a
wild throw to another base.

is CHRISTMAS POETRY

Robert Mcintyre, clerk over at the
Waldorf, who has been off the pay
roll for some time as a poet, has PEN
ned the following lines as his senti-
ments at this time of year:
We like to get nice presents-still
Well surely rise and get the hook
If Doc, or Lud or Bob or Bill
Hands us a folding pocketbook.
Bill Laimer of the Gardner was
shown the above and he turned green
with envy over the, beautiful senti-
ments contained therein and he seized
his pen and dashed off the following:
We love Dur Christmas, and yet
Well masticate the rag
If Bess or Sue, or Antoinette
Sends Is a laundry bag.
When w. A. Hagen, who travels for
the Lorillards, was shown the above
when he was out on his regular trip,
he made up his mind that he too,
would join the army of poets and he
sent in the following:
The Christmas a pleasant is,
But still we've got the nippers
For n one whose present is
To us a pair of slippers.

to write to some one, or better still
to cable and he will be told where to
send N money with which the
aforesaid prisoner can be liberated and
for all of this the Fargo man will
receive the sum of $l50,000. Being a
wealthy man himself. Mr.. Clark has
no desire to increase his holdings in
such a manner, especially as he must
first risk the sum of about $4,000. The
man to whom the letter and money
are to be sent has the high sounding
name of Don Galbo," and his address
is rs Delicious, Madrid, Spain"
1t is more than probable that the
writer is onto the fact that Mr.. Clark
speaks Spanish with more or less
huency, having frequently conversed
with that we'll known Spanish sales
man. Don Flinto di Anibeato.
Accompanying the letter was a long
account of how one 'Manassenia'' had

possession two portmaneaus contain

but he refuses to tell what he did with

will send him h $4,000 to get him out
