Stroke of Luck and Get to

' Crackers Win and Tie.
BY BOB PIGUE. '
' It It ladles' day at Rusawood and
a double-header It scheduled, which
meant that Memphis' army of fair
fant will get to tee a pair of ball
garnet for nothing. It it the first
time this year that the fanabellea
, have had such a stroke of luck, and
It's, a cinch that they'll all be
there.
LJjrhe Chicks are responsible for two
&fTflames Tuesday, for after having
nao me rinai game of Monday's
twin bill all salted away, they blew
up In the final inning and allowed
the Crackers to tie the contest at
10-10. And aa the Atlantant do not
come to Memphis anv more this
J teason, the game had to be played
I ip$ and " wa necessary to Insert
itr as a part of Tuesday's program.
LOSE AND DRAW MONDAY.
After toiling for three hours and 55
minutes at HiiHswood park Monday af
ternoon, the Memphis Chicks and At
lanta Crackers finallv .drew down the
curtain and called it a day at 6:50
o'clqck, with the Crackers havliiK won
one frame and having tied the other.
The final score of the first contest was
4 to 1, while the nightcap affair ended
10-10 when darkness stole upon the
scene of hostilities and made further
plav Impossible.
The Chicks didn't have a chance In
the first contest and were helpless be
fore Cliff Markle-, Atlanta right-hander.
Jn the second affair" the Crackers got
out to a four-run lead and the thicks
rallied and scored seven runs in the
fourth Inning. The Tribe .founted one
more in the fifth and two more in the
sixth. It looked like peaches and cream
for the locals.
But in the final Inning. It having
been Intended to play only, seven rounds,
the Crackers got busy and scored six
runs, tieing the count as tight as Dick
Kauffman'g hatband. The Chicks tried
vainly to score in their half of the sev-
after which Ian Pfenninger, standing
out there in the darkness, decided that
further plav was impracticable and
called It a draw.
WILD IS RIGHT.
Tt TI-'J U V, .1 . i 1 , 1 .-1 r t ,

Jwas everything that ever happened In
j.iny other ball game. The first affair
I Jwas featureless aside from the air-tight
J pitching of Cliff Markle. who toyed
1 vlth the Chicks all the way and never
V'Bvmt ueen in any real a; nger. Oscar
JTuero did the pitching for the Chicks
;Hiid he was hit hard in two Innings, the
. second and eighth, when the Crackers
Kt their four tallies. The Chicks got
Ntneir lone marker of the first game in
the eighth on. an error, two wild pitches
wd a sacrifice fly.
The second affair was one for the
mythical book. Bill Thweatt started for
Memphis and Parson Lankenau for the
Crackers. But they started that's all.
Dufore the farce had ended, Clarence
. Nemlt and Dazzv Vance had pitched
for Memphis, and Tom Sheehan, Jimmy
.Suggs and Cliff Markle had ascended
the hill for the Atlantans. Pinch-hitters
made their appearance, and Meyers
for the Chicks delivered, while Boone
of the Crackers didn't.
; The Crackers piled up two runs In
I the first two innings, which marked the
I end of Thweatt. The Chicks started
3 on Parson Lankenau in the fourth and
1 after It Tribesmen nad batted, seven
If had scored, leaving the locals ahead
I: by a margin of three runJ. Tom Hhee
i han relieved Lankenau and was batted
hard during the wild and woolv fourth.
Tom stayed . in there until the sixth
when-Suggs went in. Boone batted for
Sugg' and to start the seventh Markle
went in and hurled the remaining two
frames.
In the Crackers' half of the seventh,
it looked like a cinch for Memphis until
things started breaking for the Crack
ers. The first dash out of the box
the Atlantans got the bases loaded with
none gone, and then the Crackers
started hitting the ball. Vance relieved
Nemltz, but the Crackers kept hitting.
When Red Wlngo struck out for the
final out, there were two Crackers
on the paths? waiting for transporta
tion. In the eighth for Atlanta with
two gone Damrau singled, butHager
couldn't help. The Chicks never touch
ed Markle in the eighth.
During tho last game fans started
.pulling for Atlanta, but when the Chicks
ade seven tallies, the same fans
turned around and rooted for the
Chicks. And then again when Atlantta
made six and tied it up fans started
rooting for the Crackers again. They're
that way all oyer the world.
Markle had the Chicks' number
That's the answer to the deteat in
the opener.
Gil Meyers went up in a pinch with
the bases loaded and delivered a single.
Andy High got a two-bagger that
cleaned the sacks In the second game.
In the opener Tuero would have got
ten along O. K. had It not been for
Wlngo, Mayer and Kauffman. These
three birds broke up the Cubans
party.
Buck Campbell, a local amateur um
pire, served as Umpire Pfenninger's
aid on the bases. Campbell's work
was satisfactory.
In the fifth inning of the second
game, with Bischoff up, a high, one In
side came at Bisch. lie dodged the
ball and was called out. there having
been two strikes already on hm. The
fans howled, but Umpire Pfenninger
taiu tsisnon nan roui tipped the ball
as he dodged it, and Catcher Mills
held onto it.
BLADES TO BLAME.
Ray Blades was to blame for the loss
of the second game, he making two
plays that gave the Crackers a chance
to tie the score, which they did.
Blades shad a chance to start a dou
ble pluy that would have ended the
game, but he elected to play the ball
to the plate, and the runner was safe.
On another occasion he shot the ball to
tne plate wnen tie could have started
a double killing, and the pill got by
Bischoft and hit the stands.
And after all this wi.d woozy brand
of bjill, the Crackers came, along and
tied the score.
The Intentional pass was worked
again Monday. Rube Marshall passing
Dick Kauffman to get to Damrau, with
a runner roosting on third. Damrau
hit a long sacrifice fly to Griffin that
scored the Cracker runner.
Daniel Bonne went up in the pinch,
and was very much disgusted when he
fanned.
In the seventh, when the Crackers
were scoring the tying ruha. there were
two out and two Cracxers on and Wlngo
was up. It looked nad for the Chicks,
for the red-head can crash the apple
with any of them. But he fanned. He
was a raw human after that.
Clarence Nemltz succeeded Thweatt.
tind he was going well until the seventh,
when with two out Blades threw dow
to MoLniry, giving C, High a life. Then
the trouble started. It ended In the
eighth when darkness fell and tho game
was called at 10 all.
Great excitement was caused and
everybody stood up as usual when a
fat spectator crashed to the floor Is
his chair collapsed.
In the sixth Bischoff hit the ball so
hard he broke his bat In two, one end
flying out toward third base and the
other dropping In front of the plate.
The ball ro'led to the pitcher.

Tom Sheehan. Atlanta right
hander, will hurl the first game
of Tuesday's twin bill between (he
Crackers and iTilcks for the At
lantans, according to Manager Dick
Kauffman. For the second affair
Dick said he would likely use Par
son Lankenau or Johnny Suggs. The
former Is a right-hander while the
later Is of the left-handed species.
For Memphis Manager Jack
Lewis said he was uncertain who
he would start in either game, as
his staff is in pretty bad shape at

BY BOB PIGUE.

company, won his Initial start
against a seasoned warrior at the
Southern Athlic club Monday
night when he decisively defeated

was a popular one, for the local
boy had earned the margin In aev.

sturdy Crescent Cltlan.
dempsey" heavier.
The two boxers entered the ring
with Dempsey weighing 111) pounds and
Curtis 105. Dempsey had It on Curtis
in reach snd height, ami also in punch
ing power. Curtis did not land over
five clean blows during the entire
eight rounds, while Dempsey repeat
edly socked Curtis with hard rights to
the Jaw and boclv.
After the fight had been half fought,
Dempsey appeared to gain more con
fidence and less respect for Curtis'
ability. The local entry tossed cau
tion to the winds and started slugging
with Curtis, always coming away with
all the best of the honors. But Curtis
never gave up. He bored In time after
time, leading nt all times In an effort
to land. Several times he backed
Dempsey Into a corner and set him
self for a haymaker. but Dempsey
crossed him by beating him In the
punch and fighting his way out.
The first round was even and tame,
with Dempsey taking the second by a
good margin. In the third It appeared
for a moment that Dempsey was going
to ston Curtis, for he hooked him r
wicked right flush on the chin, that
shook tne New Orlcunlnn and made It
aimcuit for him to keep an even
keel.
Curtis fell Into a clinch and man
aged to keep out of harm's way the
remainder of tne round.
In the fourth the two lads stood toe
to toe anil swapped wallops, with
Dempsey carrying off the honors with
room to spare. Dempsey landed thref
punches wniie urtis was nosy tryg
to land one. The rest of the flgnt
found Dempsey pounding away at Cur
tis' Jaw and body and wilh Curtis un
able to land with any degree of regu
larlty.
Dempsey was not hit by a hard
punch throughout the eight sessions. He
bore no marks following the mill. It
was a clean-cut win for Dampsey, and
proved that he has the makings of one
of the best bantams In the country.
