WEDNESDAY, JUNE 12, 1912 Sickening Slump Toward Last Place Goes Steadily and Sadly On CRACKERS DROP TWO; ARE NOW NEXT TO LAST By Percy H. Whiting. THE Crackers dropped too Kames nearer oblivion here yesterday afternoon and the Vols out down a good big section of the gap that separates them from the cellar exit. A couple more afternoons like that and the Crackers will be as utterly and entirely last as they ever got during the depressing days of 1911. The scores in yesterday afternoon's engagements were It is to n and 5 lo 4. If there were an alibi for the Crackers, we do not print it. They deserved all they got, and more. Yet sympathy should be extended to the two Crack pitchers. They deserved better than they got. The unspeakably putrescent fielding of the Cracker club paved the way or actually caused most of the Volunteer runs. Every now and then a club is entitled to pull a game that is unspeakably bad. But the Crackers overstepped all bounds by pulling two in the same afternoon, it was a "blessed" performance. This gentle hammer throwing isn't intended to act as a scoop, to shovel away any of the credit that the tail-enders deserve for taking a double-header from the semi-tail-enders. The Nashville team, though it made a good lot of mistakes, was a world series performer compared with Atlanta. The Vols were able to take advantage of every mistake and to get all that was coming to them on the Cracker misplays. At the same time nobody who saw the game will deny that it was more a case of the Crackers kicking it away than of the Volunteers winning it. The Crackers began their rough work in the first inning, when O'Brien perpetrated an error, but nothing happened that counted until the fourth. We have no morbid intentions of going into all the sad details, but this fourth inning is a sample. James grounded to East, who missed it. Lindsay bunted down the first base line and O’Dell fell in attempting to field if Welch once dropped one in front of the plate and Graham mussed up the play. With the bases full, Young let one down easy in front of the plate. Graham recovered it, touched the plate, and threw to first, completing a double. Perry then sent a slow one down to Dessau and then it was to first for a scratch hit, and Lindsay scored. Schwartz hit another one and Welch once and Perry tallied the latter making it all around from first to the plate on a slow single to Hemphill. That was the worst of the afternoon, the whole afternoon went. In the seventh when the Vols added their other three bases, Dessau allowed a single on balls and O'Brien perpetrated an error before any damage was done. After that, came a couple of real hits and the game was ended. Against Case the crackers were helpless. The only time they did hit him, it netted them nothing in the eighth, a three-hagger by Hemphill was followed immediately by a single by Callahan, yet Hemphill couldn't score. Callahan's effort was a scratch to the infield. The Crackers were sore as frozen crabs, at the umpires, but that didn't get them anything. And it is more than likely that they could have umpired the game themselves and yet. Not won it. The second game was quite as hopelessly wrested as the first, only it was more exciting, for the Vols pulled a few errors, and as Fair was wild, the Crackers were in the hunt. Tommy took the lead for Mian, and as has been the case almost every time the Ohio wonder. We have a mysterious game in the case, has worked since he joined the Crackers last season, the club just refused to win for him. Every inning in which the Vols scored a run off Atkins an error figured. Young, the first man who scored, got safe on O’Dell’s error. East helped Storch around, after he had singled, with a wild throw. Lindsay, the third man who scored, lived on one error and advanced on another. Despite the bad fielding of the locals, the game entered the tenth inning with the score tied, 4 and 4. Glenn pulled something unexpected by opening the tenth with an infield grounder which he beat out so that it did all the scoring. Jumbo Glenn, the baby road roller, beat out an infield tap that was perfectly handled! Well, after that, anything could happen. Bair sacrificed the giant along to second, and then Storch smacked out a single that sent across the winning run. It may be mentioned that in the ninth Hemphill took out Atkins. Apparently it was to let Sykes bat. COULON IN “SUSPICIOUS” FIGHT WITH FRANK HAYS NEW HAV EN. CONN., June 12. Johnny Coulon, of Chicago, the lightweight champion, figured in a fight with Frankie Hayes, of St. Louis, which fans looked upon as a fake. The bout was scheduled to ten rounds, but at the end of the third Referee Fitzgerald left the ring, refusing to officiate in what he said was a “frame-up." He declared that the boys had refused to fight even after he had warned them. Chief of Police Cowles ordered the right to go on and Announcer Doherty acted as referee. The boys went at it again, but before they had been fighting a minute in the fourth, Hayes went to the floor. He remained there until the count of eight, but after a couple of seconds went down again, this time being counted out. WELLS AND PALZER SIGN TO BOX IN N.Y. JUNE 28TH NEW YORK, June 12. -Bombadier Wells, the heavyweight title holder of England, and J. Palzer, a “white hope” aspirant for heavyweight honors, were matched today to fight ten rounds in Madison Square Garden June 28. Read this conductor's experience with rheumatism. It shows you how A.A. helps the most obstinate cases. "I bedily rheumatism from going through great exposure as conductor on the Southern Railway for 52 years," writes Mr. W. C. Smith of Columbia, St. "I tried doctors and various remedies, but no permanent relief until I used your most wonderful medicine. R. R. R. and I have used your medicine before in my family and always with happiest results." R. R. R. not only cures rheumatism but every form of foot disease. If it fails to help you, though there may have been some other reason for it. If it was to let Sykes in, it was a move that didn't net him much. Sykes popped to Perry and then Brady, who succeeded Atkins, allowed the two hits that boat the Crackers. ATTANTA is a mighty blue town now in a baseball way. The slump of the team has been steady and is continuing. Yet there isn't any kicking against the baseball association. They have just bought Lefty Russell, who, if he isn't a good pitcher, managed to fool that greatest of all managers. Connie Mack. They have just bought Pitcher Brady, who had a grand record last year. They have just secured Callahan, who was a wonder with New Orleans last season. They bought Coleman of the Yanks—who seems to have jumped. And they are trying to pull a big deal." To let Sykes go for an infielder of note and ability. But still, the crackers lose. Verily, these are gray days in Atlanta. JOHNSON EXPECTED TO PICK REFEREE TODAY LAS VEGAS, N.M., June 12. Jack Johnson has sifted the list of referees submitted to him down to four names. They are Jack Welsh, of San Francisco; Ed W. Smith, of Chicago; E.W. Cochrane, of Kansas City, and Mark Levy, of Albuquerque. The names of Honest John Kelly and Sam Austin, both of New York, were stricken from the list because they are New Yorkers. Johnson’s final word on the referee is expected today. Johnson today offered to bet $16,000 on himself against $8,000 to be staked upon the chances of Jim Flynn.

TYRUS R COBB BECOMES DETROIT BUSINESS MAN DETROIT, MTCH., June 12.—Ty Cobb, the Tigers’ noted outfielder, has entered business on a large scale, purchasing a block of stock in the W. B. Jarvis Company, a $300,000 corporation with stores in Detroit and Grand Rapids, doing a wholesale and retail spotting goods business. “I desire to a good business position awaiting me when I get through with baseball.” said Ty. “I have intended for some time to make Detroit my home and have been on the lookout for a business opening. I picked this because it is right in my line and I can make good in it easier than in some other field.” Cobb’s house is the largest of its kind in Michigan. In the winters he will devote his entire time to the business. SMITH ASKS UMPIRE TO PROTECT HIM FROM FAN NEW YORK, June 12.—An appeal to the umpire for protection from abuse by a spectator, this being the first time a big league player has taken advantage of the rule permitting it since the memorable Ty Cobb incident, a few weeks ago, was made by Third Base man Smith, of the Brooklyn team, during the Brooklyn-Pittsburgh game yesterday. The incident occurred during the fifth inning, when Smith complained to Umpire Owens of what he claimed was abusive language being used by a spectator in one of the boxes. Before Owens had a chance to appeal to the management, the spectator pointed out by Smith that he thought there was no longer any doubt of his eligibility for a championship fight with Ad Wolgast, the title holder. Cross and Redmond went ten rounds at the St. Nicholas Athletic club last night, the New Yorker getting the verdict on points. Crackers' Batting Averages.
