1.-THE difference between Cobb and the

principles involved. These are principles
of discipline recognized in all walks of

Cobb is the best ball player In the world.
And Mr.. Cobbs is also the best paid
ball player in the world. But this is not
the issue Mr. Cobb did not make base
ball; baseball made him. A player cannot

Rain also prevented all major league

Atlantis. April ls.-(Special )--Bir-
minghsm bats1ncn rubbed the cobwebs
out Of their batting orbs this afternoon
and administered the first defeat the
Crackers have tasted this season. 1t
was a crushing one. Count, II to 2.
The Crackers played horribly in the
field. getting eight errors out of their sys-
tens They looked worse today than
birmingham did either Monday or Tues
day. while the Barons looked even bet
ter than the Crackers did on these days.
Buck Weaver was pounded from the
slab in the first session by the re-
vengeful Barons and Becker who re-
lieyed him Jared little better. though
the team steadied behind him after the
second inning and played great base
ball.
After the first two innings, 1t was as
sensational a game of baseball as has
been played on the local field, both teams
doing some wonderful work. Clinton
Prough did not pitch well enough to win
an ordinary game, but today's game
was not an ordinary one. He was in
hot water many time but got by in
the pinches. the backbone OF the Crack
ers being broken in the first two ses-
sions.
Roy Ellam was the field star of the
game, the Baron captain making several
pretty pickups. His one-handed stab
of a liner from Graham's bat In the
eighth. which he speared on the run,
later doubling Heating at first, was a
most spectacular play. He also pulled
another the duplicate of 1t in the ninth
session. Heating, the rival shortstop.

wonderful pickups. one by Keating, one

in 1911, stole more bases, fielded
better and made more runs.
Last season, ELAN was "beaned"
in Birmingham by Earl Fleharty,
the most brilliant lumina of the
all-star Volunteers. ELAN soon
recovered and came again to bat.
Ills hitting was just as heavy as
it had ever been. He is as good to-
day as he was last year
There are possibly other In
stances.
For countless years the baseball
scribes have spelled it "A-l-p-e-r-
m-a-n." Henceforth, If they act in
accordance with the expressed wish
of the tow headed second saclxer
of the Atlanta Crackers, they will
not omit final m or rather, an
additional m Alpermann is GER
tain that the scribes will oblige
him to such limited extent.
Last season Doc" Seabough issued
a statement under the head, "You
spell 1t with an TO-" Previous to that
statement, everybody had written
1T "S-e-a-b-a-u-g-h.'
Other ball players are not so fas-
tidious. For instance, every scribe
has his own, pet fashion In writ
ing the name of the great Pole,
who is endeavoring to win games
for Chattanooga. We write 1t
"Covaleski" Some years ago there
was a pitcher on the local club
named Robertaille. Like Rip Ragan,
another celebrity, he didn't know
the correct way of spelling his
name. Therefore, the scribes
threw the type at the paper, and
got away with 1t.
Now, however, conditions have
changed and the liberty of the press
is gradually being abridged.

/ II reports are correct, Yantz and
'Angemeier, the two Pelican catch
ers are happy-the happiest men
In the league. For, as the reports
have 1t, the two were born in the
same year and in the same city,
Louisville. They played ball to-
gether at school, and on the same
day they signed contracts to re-
ceive on a semi-pro club in Louis
Vile. Yantz was the first to at
tract attention, and he soon left
for San Antonio to become a mem
ber of George Leidy's squad of
Texas Steers. There Molesworth
found him and brought him to Bir-
mingham. He went to Chicago and
this spring to Charlie Frank. An
gemeier played three years in the
Bluegrass league, and in 1910 was
drafted by the Chicago Cubs. He
was turned over to Manager Frank
in 1911. 1t was the reunion which
made them happy.
Returning to local topics, we are
remined that the Barons do not
compose the only team which won
a pennant in 1912 and got away
badly this spring. Behold the New
York Joints" and the Boston Red
Sox. The three squads will come,
however. AS soon as the Barons
get balanced with another real
swatter. the team will assume its
regular stride.
