vVTYTHoUr special reason. Mar
" can decided to steal third in
N the first inning of yester-

w the first inning of yester-
days game. He went out. The fans
hollered.
But had he succeeded, the fans
would have cheered. The fans are
fellle. The ballplayer is a nero to-
day, and hobo tomorrow.
If the player knew what to do un-
der all circumstances, he ceuld imi-
tate Cobb and get away with it. He
could rub his fist across the nose of
the national commission and escape
all practical punishment.
But inasmuch as the player is sim
ply human, he is certain to make mis-
takes The fan also is simply human.
Therefore, he will continue to roast
when a failure is made and cheer when
daring bit of base running results
other than disastrously
Marcan figured that as Price was
taking his own sweet time in winding
up he could easily purloin the third
cushion. lie figured also that If he
tried and succeeded, the Crackers
would be swept off their feet, and an
other Baron victory iced away. There
fore, he played the unexpected and
failed.
AS it happened, however, the play
was exceedingly unfortunate. Had he
remained on second, the Barons in all
probability would have won the game
They would certainly have scored one
run and possibly more in the opening
round For Price was exceptionally
wobbly. He was groggy. He was
praying for Smith to yank him out
of the fire.
And a run or couple of runs in the
very beginning would have inspired
the Barons with confidence and the
Crackers with terror.
All of which goes to show that the
result of a baseball game often hinges
on single move.
The game brought about a repeti-
ton of the old story-Cracker bats
save a Cracker pitcher
Price displayed very little stuff of
the variety which classes one finger
out of the pale of the ordinary. He
has fair speed and fair curve. His
lack of control is fearful, and had
the Barons played the game as they
should have played it, the Cracker
bats could not have saved him.
AS it was, however, the Barons
were ragged, and llstless without their
customary pepper. Therefore. when
Sloan, the near relative of the famous
Jockey and the manufacturer and sales
agent of the we'll known liniment, lost
his cunning, Cracker bats reaped
harvest and put away the game.
Tuesday morning, the sporting editor
of the Chattanooga Times wrote:
There is Just one question upper
most in the minds of ChattanooGa fans
Just now. That is: How much more
of this losing business can we stand
before we bust"
That afternoon. the Lookouts got
busy and defeated the Barons.
Wednesday afternoon, they walked
up and beat the Volunteers. And
then their inspiration died out. Yes
terday the Volunteers trimmed them
to a fsre-you-w
All of which goes to show that the

sporting editor of the Chattanooga
Times should more often write con-
cerning that "uppermost question"
Even more serious tnan that CT Chat
tanooga is the plight of the poor old
Pelicans. Daily they get their drub-
bing. Their spirit is gone. The fans
play pinocle and Charlie Frank In
dismay drinks his stems. The baseball
writers are waxing facetious in ref
erence to the weather.
Seldom has the wiley Dutchman been
found in the cellar. Generally when
Southern league seasons have ad-
vanced three or four weeks. the Peli-
cans are on top. or very near the top
with their leader bubbling over with
patronizing joy, the fans boastful, and
the writers indulging in sacrastlc re-
marks concerning clubs less fortu-
nate.
When Frank has a pennant winner
he draws too few people in New Or
leans to leave surplus in his treas
ury. When he finishes low-well he
mas little opportunity to enjoy the
winter.
Dick Jemison in the Atlanta Con
Stltutlon remarks
ut is now an even bet that all clubs
are within the player limit How
many are really inside the salary
limit is a matter OF conjecture
This is the first intmation of the
season that certain of the clubs are
violating the salary limit 1t is CON
sdered quite significant that the in
~timation should have come from At
lanta. We have figured that every
club with the possible exception of
Atlanta. was easily within the salary
limit 1t is strange that Jemison 1e-
ured as we did, but stranger that
he should have permitted his inn
pressons and suspicious to find their
way into print.
Attention is again called to the ease
with which Mobile disposes OF its
rivals. Sometimes the Gulls win i'm
one inning, sometimes in nine and
again in u. The fact remains stand
ing out in base relief that the Gulls
win just the same. Yesterday it re-
quired Il innings for them to trim the
Billikens, but they trimmed them.
Should Mobile win the pennant every
fan in the league would be surprised.
For some reason, we can't take Mo-
bile, Montgomery, Atlanta and Chat
tanooga seriously. But if Birmingham
should permit some other club to win,
we should prefer that other club to
be Mobile or Montgomery.
Exceptionally fine sport is being fur
nished the patrons of the ma:or show.
The clubs heretofore considered weak
are showing form. The ST. Louis
Cardinals are cutting up all over the
league. Philadelphia, Washington,
Boston and Cleveland are going at
a terrific clip in the American. In
the National the play is more even.
There are good clubs apparently in
Brooklyn and st. Louis, while New
York, Philadelphia, Pittsburg and
Chicago are making desperate efforts
to acquire and maintain an early
lead.
Nothing yesterday was heard from
President Baugh. who is scouting for
players around the lakes of the Windy
City We risk the prediction, how
ever, that he will not return empty
handed to the Magic City of Dixie.
Hardgrove and Brady will probably
be the selection of the Birmingham
and Atlanta managers for the game
this afternoon.

High" Price, in the pinches, was al
most impossible yesterday afternoon, and
the proud Barons were humbled in long,
weird, ragged and otherwise listless game
The Atlanta southpaw, as Indicated was
strong in the great majority of the in
nings, but it is probable that but for the
Cracker bats. the Cracker neaver would
have lost his lustre. Sloan for the Barons
was lacking throughout, although in the
second inning, he wormed out of serious
predicament. The score was to 4.
AS the Barons had Wednesday after
noon, yesterday afternoon the Crackers
had one big inning. 1t was in the sixth
with the score standing 3 to / against
them. When it concluded they had the
game safely iced away. Smith opened
with slow hit which he beat out. Bis
land followed with triple to deep right
eerter. Smith scored. Williams sacrifice
fly sent Bisland over. The score was
then tied with one down and no one on
bases.
Some Peculiar Antics
1t looked easy. But Dunn rolled one

the ball badly to first. Price flied to

The Full Statement

The report on the cobb case follows:
Player Tyrus Cobb, who AYERS that
he was not aware that his status was
affected by his failure to report at the
start of its 1913 pennant race to the
Detroit team. of which he has been a
member for several seasons, on April
%, notified the commission that he
lad entered the service of that club
with the request that he be declared
to be in good standing. 1t appears
that the players failure to report to
the Detroit club was due to inability
TO agree on terms with that club.
Subsequent to the beginning of the
American league season. however, af-
ter brief conference with the presi-
dent of his club, these differences
were amicably adjusted. If the only
question involved We're the compensa-
tion of the player the commission
would have been inclined to pass the
matter. The commission, however.
cannot permit the conduct of this
player in the past to go unnoticed.
Recognized as one of the greatest
players of the game with a salary as
high as any in the profession, his
actions on many occasions were such
as not only to break down the rules
of discipline established by his club
but harmful to the games interests
Instead of negotiating with his club
on a business basis during the early
spring he issued ultimatums through
the press 10 arouse public sentiment
in his favor
