Crackers Have Come Life After Long Sleep and Are Playing Ball
WIN FROM BARONS-OFF NOW ON MAD CAREER

July game, Brady has allowed less
than five hits, and a small frac-
ton over one run to a game for
the last four games. He has sprung
curves and fast balls that are Won
ders. and he has developed a
change of pace that would fool Ty
Cobb.
Also Jim kicked in with a sin
gle in the eighth when the Crack
ers uncorked the batting rally that
won the game. Graham and Agler
also furnished hits in that inning
and Alperman developed the sacri-
flee fly that sent the winning run
across.
n the second game there was a
miracle The Barons opened
with three consecutive singles off
Becker and with the additional aid
of two sacrifice fiys scored three
runs. The Crackers then came back
with two hits for five runs in the
second half of the first inning. After
that Becker tightened allowed two
more hits and no runs and won the
game in a romp

Palzer Now Biggest
White Hope; Giant

BY SOL PLEx.

AL Palzer looms up as a big white
hope right now. Even though the ex-
perts are not convinced that Flynn
would have succumbed to johnson in
their sensational struggle at Las Vegas
on the Fourth, Palzer. to our mind
because pounds biggers than Flynn
looks more nearly like a coming cham
pion than any white man we know of
All weighs about 22S in condition and
is over six feet tall He's a regular
giant and the kind of a man Johnson
can not push and pull around and hold
onto when he is in distress.
Palzer is two Battling Nelson's roll
ed into one, as Tommy Walsh says. and
we predict that he will be booked for
a worlds championship encounter in
side of eighteen months. Do not be
surprised either if he is the man that
finally whales Jack Johnson and re-
deems the white race pugilistically.
To our mind Johnson was d rather
lucky champion on July 4 afternoon.
Flynn is no whirlwind and the fact that
he gave Jack tit for tat every step of
the nine rounds proves that he has
gone back very, very much since the
day he took Jim Jeffries to his first
and only lacng.
johnson probably is in for a licking
in any one of his next two fights. The
only way he can save himself Is to
retire and give up the title They all
go the same route if they keep fight

the people in Washington want Sun

urged to him by those most interested
in the project that Sunday baseball
would be a blessing in disguise for

during the week, and who have no
place to spend their Sundays.
President Johnson is an advocate OF
Sunday ball He pointed out that it
required Yeas TO have the barriers
raised against the sport on the Sab :
bath in both Detroit and Cleveland. but
that since it has been tried there the
clergy of these two cities sanction the
playing of he games on that day, and
that there is not the slightest objection
from any source

President Noyes legarding the subject.

CY YOUNG SAYS
COBB IS BEST
Of ALLPLAYERS
BY cY YOUNG.

Ty Cobb is the greatest of them all.
In my baseball experience, covering
almost a quarter of a century | have
never seen an all around PLAYER tho
equal of the Detroit star.
There may be other players almost
If not quite so fast as Cobb; Laj.ie has
1t on the Georgia Peach" for stnight-
away hitting; other outfelders may
throw trifie better, but for work davi
IN and day out, Cobb hasn't an eqtal.
At bat he hasn't a weakness. Ii hay
been my experience that you can fool
him, possibly one day, on a certain lind
of ball, and the next time you face lin
he will whale the cover off the ball.
On the bases he is wonderful Ie
uses both his head and his feet. anc
sometimes wonder if the former isrt
more responsible for his success than
the latter
Cobb can size up baseball situation
like a flash. and the way he divines
plays is uncanny On the paths he
doesn't know the meaning of the word
fear and this lack of timidity helps
him.
In the field, too, he is a wonder He
uses splendid judgment in playing for
batters, and his marvellous speed en-
abes him to retire batters on balls that
others would play safe.
Able to hit, to field, to throw, to run
bases. and to do each in phenomena;
fashion, coupled with his nerve and
confidence, Cobb is the greatest PLAYER
that ever wore a spiked shoe.

Ii is said by those who know
that Charley Hemphill made
speech to his ball club Monday
afternoon. Charles is no great
speechmaker. He never made an
after dinner speech in his life. and
few before dinner. He may talk to
himself but he certainly doesn't
waste much conversation with
anybody else.
Yet they say that Hemphilrs
speech Monday afternoon was equal
To anything ever delivered
The report goes that it was
warm tempestuous speech-that it
pointed out the nearnes of the
Crackers to last place. dwet on
the fact that the Atlanta players
were receiving good money and
giving poor service. and suggested
the addition Of little ginger and
action to all bah games in the flu

Oratorically it may not have been
great speech. But neither De-
mosthenes nor William Jennings
Bryan ever had anything on it for
results
For. after hearing the speech, the
Crackers went Qua yesterday and
won both ends of double header
from the league leaders. And in
doing so the Crackers lifted them
selves good ways from last place
and pulled the Barons down SO
materially that the league teams
are again punched. virtually with
