TIME Crackers, having won the
worlds championship Of Class
"A and Double-A leagues BY
walloping the Newark Indians two
straight, are now squaring off In
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 (as
against the sky juice), but the Hon.
VonHerrmann' bet may be bad one
to copper.
II the afternoon is reasonably clear,
however. there ought to be, good,
big crowd out to enjoy the privilege
Of looking over the reconstructed
Highlanders at the very moderate
price of two-pits per throw, and sit
where you please.
A MoNCf the celebrities will be the
n 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
tv nearly made them over at that. IL
is now to see IL they were cut out and
sewed up properly.
Maisel, the highly expensive IN
fielder. Will be Jon exhibition; ana
Gilhooley the speed demon ana
WARRIOR, the Irish Indian hurler, and
our old friend Ed Sweeney, and plen-
ty of others.
Barring much rain, good crowd
should witness the performance.
d EVERTING to the Crackers vim
N ming streak, we foot it up that they
have copied six out of seven practice
games, and tied one OF these games.
two were 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-one 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 AA teams, rank
ing ahead of the Southern.
MYTH all this winning we don't
Wv seem to get line on the Crack
ers so far Big Perryman looked bet
ter in the second game against the
Indians than at any other start this
year. Sehwind's errors. aided by a
Wild peg by Joe Dunn, caused a ma
jority OF the scoring against him.
although two resounding blows in the
ninth made three runs out OF a base
on balls and scratch hit that a
hard hearted scorer might have list
ed as a sixth error against the unfor-
tunate Schwind.
Tor Schwind was unfortunate
and hard working. The fast lit
tie chap got thirteen chances, not
counting a brace OF scratch hits that
he reached. You might call It fifteen
In all; and he was going after every
thing in sight. His rnisdeeds were
all OF commission; he loafed on
nothing. And they were all on tough
chances and hurried pegs 1t would
be sorry work to penalize a young
infielder for suffering over the tough
ones and for errors resulting from
fast play when ii had TO be fast or
not at all.
co we are going to permit Mr.. B.
- Smith to do any fussing at Mr..
Schwlnd that is TO be done, while We
take occasion TO mention the sharp
fielding and savage walloping of Mr.
Lynch The red-top got three clean
hits. one a triple and 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 MIR w. Zimmerman,
committed on what would have been
Mr.. Longs second home run Of the
matinee.
AIR. Long did fairly well, as ii was,
