FOXEN SHOWS UP
THE HARD HITTING
ATLANTA CRACKERS
From the Angle Of the Bug
by HUGH W. ROBERTS

(UTHEN you watch the work
w third baseman, you recall
with shudder that remarkable as
sertion Of b. Smith.
AS is remembered. in a recent
issue of one of those entertaining
Atlanta papers, Manager Smith de-
clared that Third Baseman Smith
was the greatest ball player he
had ever seen perform in the
Southern league.
Without implying that Manager
Smith was in error, we beg leave
to remind the fans that there have
been some very fine performers in
the major of the south. There was
Joe Jackson, and Iris Speaker, and
Sid Smith, and Artie Phelan, and
rom Downey, and Jimmy John
ston, and, well. host of others.
Yesterday before the remarkable
pitching of B. Foxen. w. Smith was
mystified. He was absolutely help
less until the coming of the ninth
inning when he smashed one to
right, and surprised-not only the
fans, not only B. Smith, but him
self.
1t appears that w. Smith is
very good minor league ball play
er. But it is little toe broad
that statement that he is the very
L.a of all the very good who have
in all the years delighted South
ern league fandom.
The Crackers have been much
discussed this season on account of
their early start and their hitting
Droclivity. Therefore their coming
to Birmingham was awaited with
delight-and certain trepidation on
The part of the fans. Yesterday
with Foxen in splendid form they
had little opportunity. For Foxen,
going as rapidly as he travelled yes
terday afternoon, could have given
the Philadelphia Athletics "a mer-
ry little chase.
But the Crackers, compose a first
rate club. They are good hitkers.
Three of them, Bailey, Welchonce
and Alpermann, are extremely dan
gerous with the stick. Their field
ing is good and will be better when
the new shortstop, Bisland, arrives.
They are not the fastest players
in the league, but they are fast
enough and their pitchers, support
ed by good fielding and hard hit
ting, will win many games this sea-
son.
But as long as Baron pitchers
hold Cracker hitters, Il. Smith can
have all the blood in his eye that
he chooses to have and lose lust
the same. Blood is most valuable
asset, but really handicap when
1t reposes in the eye.
The Barons played a great game
yesterday and gave Foxen Just the
support that sensational flihsing
is worthy of. Their star work oc-
