Six Straight Losses by the
Travellers Put EN- Out
of 1t for the Time
Being

New Orleans, August 3.--With New
Orleans and Atlanta only six points
apart in the leading places and Little
Rock slipping fast, the Southern asso-
citation race at the close of the four
tenth week became one between the
Pelicans and the Crackers.
Atlanta by a string or II straight vic.
tories is within fraction OF a game
Of the championship place and it was
only the Pelican win in the last match
of a double header with Chattanooga to-
day which kept the Crackers from shar-
ing honors in the first position.
BY steady winnings victories in 81
contests--Atlanta came from fourth place
and now threatens the Pelicans who
have. with the exception of two 24-hour
periods, in which Little Rock forged
ahead been at the top OF the percentage
table for more than II weeks. The
Crackers ousted Mobile at third July b
and deposed Little Rock at second We'd
nesday.
New Orleans did not fare so well this
week with five victories and four de-
feats Chattanooga played havoc with
the Pelicans by taking three games OF
series of five on the New Orleans
grounds Hub Perdue, New Orleans
pitcher, kept his pace by pitching his
twelfth straight victory on the home
diamond when the Pelicans took the last
end of the double-header today from
Chattanooga and incidentally kept the
lead in the association.
The Atlanta trio from Memphis and
quintet from Little Rock completed the
Cracker card for the week and made
eight wins to no losses.
Little Rock finished with six straight
losses, five of which were TO Atlanta
and no wins The tilt with the Crackers
upset all Traveller hopes and temporarily
put them out OF the running for first
place as the margin now stands almost
five games.
The rise of Chattanooga from seventh
place to tie with Mobile at fourth was
one of the features of the week. Twice
in the period the Lookouts took fourth
place by a scant margin.
They finished with a record of seven
wins to two losses, both of the latter to
New Orleans. The victories were three

a single from Nashville.

CASE OF SCHUPP
The most interesting case of this
kind that has occurred in many a sea-
son is the case of Ferdie Schupp. the
young left-hander recently traded 20

Frank Snyder by Manager McGraw.
Schupp's trouble started with a sore
arm. He developed the faulty flipper
in the spring of 1913 at Marlin and
throughout the season he was FORGET
to sit on the bench. But he was hore-
full. He worked out daily He had his
sore arm examined by experts and he
was told that rest with just enough
work to keep his muscles plant, was
the thing he needed most.
Manager McGraw had confidence IN
Schupp. too. He believed the brilliant
young southpaw of 1917. who won -
games and lost but seven that year.

Last spring. in Florida. Schupp rs-
ported to the Giants ready to NURSE
his arm back into shape But ne
failed The control that he once had
was gone. He couldn't locate the plate
with any consistency and as the seas IN
wore on he showed no signs of im-
provement. Finally McGraw saw
chance to make a trade that would
bring one of the best catchers in the
National league to the Giants in ex
change for useless pitcher, anil
Schupp went to st. Louis for Snyder :
and probably a handsome roll of cash.
Schupp was heartbroken. He told
his friends that he would never report
to the st. Louis club and announced
