TIME Crackers, having won the
worlds championship of Class
4 A and Double-A leagues by
walloping the Newark Indians two
straight are now squaring off in a
three -cornered affair with the New
York Yanks and the weather man,
The Yanks are scheduled to play at
Ponce DeLeon Thursday afternoon
their only Atlanta engagement this
season--and the W. m. has promised
rain.
We are pulling for the Yanks Gas
against the sky juice, but the Hon.
VonHerrmann's bet may be bad one
to copper.
IL the afternoon is reasonably clear,
however there ought to be a good
big crowd out TO enjoy the privilege
II looking over the reconstructed
Highlanders at the very moderate
price Of two-bts per throw, and sit
where you please.
A MONG the celebrities will be the
"A Peerless Leader himself-the man
who won four pennants and two
worlds championships with the
Cubs, and who now is confronted
with the stupendous problem of max
Ing over the Yankees. He has pref
ty nearly made them over, at that. IL
is now to see II they were cut out and
sewed up properly
Maisei, the higniy expensive in
fielder. will be on exhibition; aano
Gilhooley, the speed demon, ana
WARRIOR the Irish Indian hurler, and
our old friend Ed Sweeney, and plen-
ty of others.
Barring much rain, a good crowd
should witness the performance.
ID EVERTING to the Crackers vim
IN ming streak, we foot II up that they
have copied six out of seven practice
games. and tied one. OF these games,
two we're not exactly orthodox bat
ties, being waged with very amateur
teams
But of the five remaining contests
one was tie with a big league team
-Cleveland-on series of two games
was divided with Louisville, OF the
American Association; and the other
two games. with Newark were mar
row victories. Both Louisville and
Newark are Glass "A teams, rank :
ing ahead of the Southern.
MYTH all this winning we don't
wv seem to get a line on the Crack
ers so lar. Big Perryman looked bet
ter in the second game against the
Indians than at any other start this
year. Schwlnd's errors, aided by a
Wild peg by Joe Dunn caused ma
iority of the scoring against him,
although two resounding blows in the
ninth made three runs out Of base
on balls and a scratch hit that a
hard hearted scorer might have list
ed as a sixth error against the unfor-
tunate Schwind.
Tor Schwind was unfortunate
4 and hard working. The fast lit
tie chap got thirteen chances, not
counting a brace OF scratch hits that
he reached. You might call 1t fifteen
IN all; and he was going after every
thing in sight His misdeeds were
all or commission; he loafed on
nothing. And they were all on tough
chances and hurried pegs. 1t would
be sorry work to penalize young
infelder for suffering over the tough
ones and for errors resulting from
fast play when it had TO be fast or
not at all
co we are going to permit MIR b
- Smith to do any fussing at Mr.
Schwind that is TO be done, while we
take occasion to mention the sharp
fielding and savage walloping of Mr..
Lynch The ed-top got three clean
hits, one triple, and a base on balls
in Ave attempts. His work In the
! field Is not clean-cut as yet, but he is
fast and aggressive-and he can
throw.
| (WHICH recalls the performance OF
w MIR Tommy Long, and the High
way Robbery OF Mr.. w Zimmerman,
committed on what would have been
Mr. Longs second home run OF the
matinee.
Mr.. Long did fairly well, as it was,
