SPEEDY SPRINT
ALL THAT CAN
SAVE CRACKERS
By Percy II. Whiting.


IF the Crackers are going to win
the pennant this year they must
demonstrate it between July 4
and July 16.
The Crackers come home July 4
for the first and only home stay Of
any importance they get until August
Il. On this home stay they get y
games in a row.
They better win a big majority of
them.
p IGHT now the Crackers are a
IN dangerous distance behind the
surprising Gulls. who lead the league.
They show no evidence Of overtak-
ing Mike Firms flying club.
No material gain will be made IN
til the team gets home. Of course.
The Crackers do their gaining on
home grounds
This being true, the local club bet
ter make the most of the home stay
between July and 16. 1t will be
a long time before they get another.
On July II the Crackers go out
on a heart breaking road trip. OF
the next 2S games they play "a on
the road
And you know well the Crackers
aren't going to make any advances
while this torrid July-August trip is
in progress.
n NE fact that will help is that the
~ Crackers wind up the season
with % straight games at home. But
unless they have begun to gain on
the GUlls before that time they will
never overtake them They can't af-
ford to wait for the last home stay.
II will be too late. They can't af-
ford to wait until the Gulls falter, for
there isn't any certainty they are
going to falter
IF the Crackers are a disappoint-
ment in the Southern League
which they aren't yet-COnsider the
case of the Pelicans. This team
looked like a sure one two three club.
Now it is nowhere and rapidly going
further
Laugh if you want to, but my own
opinion is that this is Charley Franks
last year in Pelicantown.
This stuff has been coming in over
the grapevine for a couple Of months
ard longer - and coming pretty
straight. The Cleveland club un-
doubtedly owns the New Orleans as
sociation. That's a moral certainty.
They Will want to put one OF their
own men in charge. They realize
that Charley Frank is unpopular in
his home town-why ii is difficult
20 figure, for he has never failed un-
til this year to give them a good ball
club. 1t is believed that the Cleve-
land folks wanted 10 be rid of Frank
last year but didn't have the heart
to fire him. after the showing he
made with the 1912 Pelicans.
HEY need a new deal all around
in New Orleans.
That ought to DO the best baseball
town Of the league-it has the popu-
.latiOn. But it is nearly the worst
There is some good Cor bad) reason
for this because it is. not a condition
Of long standing.
The Cleveland folks have figured
around and have presumably decided
that the sacrifice of Charley Frank
would be popular move
So off comes his head.
