CRACKERS NEED
ONLY A CATCHER
FOR 1914SEASON
Billy Smith Can Well Afford to
Stand Pat On Remainder
of Team.
By O. B. Keller.

n I this juneture permit us to
~ arise with a modest air and
make the following remark:
william Andrew Smith requires
one more thing to give him a ball
club fit to fight for the rag in 1914"
AnG add:
THAT one thing is first string
catcher"
The way we see it, that's all.
wv HEN the enterprising Major CAL
wv away made good on our hum
BILE little prophecies and roped in the
hitherto recalcitrant Andy McCon
nell at his Utica home. the grievous
problem of b. Smiths infield was
solved.
Some weeks ago, during a tanning
bee in the baseball office, Major Cal
laway remarked
IF Mcconnell comes through I'll
be willing to stand pat"
That sentiment was Al at the
time. But since then Harry Chap
man, as Prexy Wilson would put it,
has blew the ranch.
And that is unfortunate.
* ILL mas tne iHdhlHSS Ol hIsl-
- chop infield, or we're badly
ceded by all hands to be a wonderful
left handed fielder, a hard, consist
ent hitter and a fast man both on
the towpath and in mental calcu-
lations
Mcconnell is the ideal key stoner
for whom the management has been
praying. He is an old head, and
wise one. He is a wonderful infield-
er, hard hitter, and (being a small
NAM one of the best leadoff hands
in the business.
Schwind has come across, too, and
is a registered candidate for third
base or shortstop. Manush is out
for either Job too; Morley Jennings
probably won't hang fire much long
er; and here's a bright chance for
getting Harry Holland back. One
of the celebrated Walsh brothers is
in the hunt, and, taken all round, we'll
trust Billy to sift a couple Of good
workmen out of the bunch.
THE outfield is better and bigger
than ever. and that leaves only
Chappy Chapman's capacious shoes to
fill
Now Ham Reynolds is no SLOUGH.
y rom private ups llldl TWO or LHFee
friends keep handing us, he is des-
tined to be a backstop Of the first
water, and that not so far from now.
But Billy doesn't want to start the
season without a catcher of known
ability. Billy is exactly right about
that And here's another little
bunch Seeing our Mcconnell tip
turned out so welD: Wen gamble
Billy has something up his sleeves
besides a brawny arm, right now;
and that, while we hope to see Ham
Reynolds doing himself proud before
June !, we'll lay another kopeck that
Billy will have a first-string catcher
to start the season with-and that
he will be no stranger to the Atlanta
fans.
All of which is by way Of saying
that b. Smith has a Regular Ball
Club for 1914.
FASHION tip: The home uniforms
for the Crackers for 1914 have
been ordered, and they are to be
white, with a very narrow dark stripe
or line, running vertically.
The order went forward 70 Char
lie Cars firm in indianapolis Thurs
day Charlie Wahoo having previous
~ landed the road uniforms in a
tasteful gray, with a red and blue

To remove some weight that has ac-
