I'VE still had one more chance, and
while there was life there was hope, but
fate was against us and the necessary
run to tie never came.
Jack Chesbro had wild pitched us out
of the American League pennant, for
Boston's victory made the third of the
series and the game the following day,
which we won, made no difference.
Friends rushed to the field after il
was all over and tried to shake hands
with me, but was too dazed to see
anybody; in fact, was in trance as l
walked back to the clubhouse.
The first person saw as / entered
the clubhouse was Chesbro.
He was sitting in one corner and
crying like a baby.
Il tried to cheer him up, but lump
arose in my own throat and the words
refused to come.

Ideals Soon Forgotten.

Idols of the diamond are often quick
ly forgotten after they drop out of the
national game, and for the benefit Of
the present-day generation the writer
believes that a brief sketch of Chesbro's
career would not be amiss at this time.
Jack Chesbro is farming today on a
big homestead in New England.
Jack is done for so far as the use of
his big league arm is concerned.
He is not beset with any financial
worries, because he saved great deal
of what he made in the days of success.
Chesbro was born in North Adams,
Mass, forty-two years ago. He began
with Springfield in 1906. Pitched for the
Roanoke club of the Virginia League in
1896, Richmond in 1897, and to the mid
die of 1893, when he was purchased by
Pittsburgh. He remained there until
1908 when he jumped to the New York
Americans.

lot of bushers all the time"
Jimmie" Archer was actually with the
Detroit team once, but Jennings did not
see any great star in him. As a matter
of face. don't think he gave him a very
careful lookover. as many recruits come
up for inspection by every manager dur
ing a season and it is hard to watch them
all closely. Besides, Archer has a style
of catching that would not naturally at
tract a manager TO an unknown. Jim
mie' has always been a squatter behind
the bat. and most managers would be-
lieve an unknown could not throw from
this position. However. no one in the
National League who has tried 20 stea'
a base against "Squatting Jimmie"
doubts his ability in this direction now.
James has always been an arch enemy
of the Giants, and he has beaten us out
of more games than any other one man
in baseball, believe, with his timely hits
1 wish Jennings had recognized his abi!-
ity and kept him in the American League.
Russell Holds On.
"Reb" Russell. the sensational young
pitcher of the Chicago White SoX. was
slated to go to the minors last year after
the spring training trip of the White Sox
in California So little was thought of
Russell when the club broke camp. SO
they tell me, that he was sent along
home with the second squad. However.
his work in the exhibition games played
by the second team was so startling that
Callahan made up his mind to hold on to
Russell. and I guess he has never regret
ted his decision. as the youngster was
the find OF the season.
McGraw has not overlooked many bets.
either. You seldom hear of a man COM
ing back and making good in the majors
after Mac" has passed him up. OF
course. he once had Dick Rudolph, the
pitcher now with the Boston Nationals.
but he was not big enough physically to
suit McGraw. He has twirled good bail
for Stallings, and he pitched the Giants
to death once or twice last summer. Still.
many of the other managers overlook
good material, so the youngster should
not be entirely discouraged il he is turned
hack.

Players Are Silent.

Il don't believe.a word was spoken
while the players jerked off their togs
and dressed for the street.
THAT game of ball was really the
last one Chesbro really pitched, al
though he played with the Highlanders
for several years more, he seemed to
have lost his old-time cunning and
quickly dropped out of sight.
q am glad of this opportunity to pay
tribute to this same pitcher. 1t was, of
course, bitter blow to lose the PEN
nant, but at the same time our club
never would have been up in the race
but for Chesbro's wonderful twirling.
"Chesbro. during the season of 1904,
pitched ffty-three games and won
torty-two of them, the best major league
record for nearly two decades.
This mark probably will stand for
all time. Walter johnson is the only
man likely to break Chesbro's record.

how Connie" Mack can stand the
strain in a close game, to which |
know he is subjected, with little or
no visible sign of emotion. No
matter how hot the battle wakes,
Connie" never gets excited. but through
out the heat of the struggle he always
sits calm and serene in the middle of the
bench. Even during the warm days he
rarely sheds his coat. and do not ever
recall having seen him get up to go 10
the ice cooler for a drink Of water when
game was in progress
Uses .Body English
Body English is about the only sign
OF emotion that he shows; by this saurm-
ing and pulling on close plays know that
he wears out several pairs of trousers a
season. He always has a score card In
one hand which he wig-wags with to his
men in the field. but with these few ex-
ceptions any one might easily be led to
believe that he was an uninterested spec
tator, bored by his surroundings. 1t Is a
cinch that Connie" is not getting fat on
this kind of diet. Not long ago he con-
fided to me that he had actually gained
half pound since the close of the worlds
series last fall, which is the first bit of
avoirdupois he has taken on in six years.
But he added that he expected to have
very little trouble in reducing on this
coming spring trip. .
'Bilr' Carrigan. the Juvenile manager
of the Boston Red Sox, is another one Of
those staid individuals who gives little
outward sign of the big responsibility
that he carries. Whether working behind
the bat or only coaching on the base lines.

He and Jack Barry never fail to have

opposite will come up. A hard. conscien-
tious worker, and never out OF the game

PLAY Five Games.

Including postponed games we were
booked to play series of five against
Boston, and in order to wind up the
season in front and win the pennant it
was necessary for us to land three VIC
tories.
"The Hilltop field was packed on Fri
day, October 5, when the first contest
was played. Chesbro won that game for
us hands down. On Saturday we trav-
cIcd TO Boston and dropped a double
header. This gave Boston the advan-
tage, but we were all confident that with
Chesbro in shape to come back Monday,
we would have little trouble in tieing
things up, and as Jack was glutton for
work, l agreed to let him pitch the final
game of the series on Tuesday.
Thousands of fans were turned
away that Monday afternoon and
ground rules were in force.

COLD SNAP WILL
STAY 4 WHILE;
SNOW FLIES

A heavy furry of snow fell over At
lanta late Saturday afternoon, and
indications, according to the local
weather forecaster do not point to
continued cold Saturday night and
Sunday.
The cold snap, which sent the mer-
curry down to 80, was not expected to
hurt the fruit crop.
Forecaster VonHerrmann predicted
the late spring and declared that that
meant Georgia fruit growers would
have one of the best crops in the his
tory OF the State.
Another drop in temperature is pre-
dicted for this vicinity Sunday night.
A cold wave which will bring the
temperature down to several degrees
below the freezing point, according to
Forecaster VonHerrmann. is due here
Sunday afternoon. to prevail through
out Sunday night and Monday.
Late Spring Indicated.
THE few flakes of snow which fell
late Saturday morning in Atlanta. "
said the weather man, are some
more indications that we are to have
4 very late spring. The latest snow
fall recorded in this office for Atlanta
was on April %, 1910 when the fall
was 10 inches.
This is the vernal equinox, the
first day OF spring, automatically
speaking, but spring weather will
hardly prevail for the next ten days. -
Fruit Exchange confirm the belief
that the fruit crop was not injured by
the cold weather of the last two days
and the frost of Friday night.
Warning to Farmers.
The exchange issued a warning to
farmers, however as the forecast for
rain Saturday night imperiIs the
trees, through the danger of the rain
freezing on the buds.
II. d. Marks. secretary and treas
urer of the exchange, said Saturday
that reports he has received from
North Georgia indicate that the fruit
will survive the cold weather in that
section.
The peach belt will not suffer, as
the cold snap did not extend to South
Georgia.
Mr. Marks said that so long as the
weather continues cloudy with d
strong wind the fruit is in little
danger.
