PhttUpa did likewise. Ittckert then hit a

the plate. Then the Pocket Edition, alia*
Canto, nwiped ont a single. It scored Strat
ton and Phillips and when. In returning the
hall to the plate, Stinson threw wild, Rick-
ert scored.
That looked like "hfld business," hut In
the fifth Inning the Atlanta batters let fly
such.* rain of singles, sacrifices and two-
taggers that the ground fairly shook with
the tramp of their feet,' as they advanced
base after base until five oft-
scored.
When the dust settled It was noticed that
look of sadness had appeared on the
classic features of Charles Frank and that
Billy Smith had acquired another "chaw"
of tobacco, which he was masticating
cheerfully. For they both saw the finish
from there.
Neither aide scored after their first effort
along that line, hut the gaiuo waa a
whistler to tbo last tap of the gong. Both
teams were right Up on the tip of their
toes and playing for all there was In them.

Ten straight victories, a majority of them

Is "some stunts," all right.
Ont of the last sixteen games Atlanta has
won fourteen. Which Is likewise perform

The team Is certainly In good running

as though an Hasten! club—we refrain
through modesty from mentioning any
names—might win the pennaut for the flrat
time ainee the days of big doings up In
Nashville.
A* New Orleans was such pie, surely
Memphis ought to be positively pudding.
Can't tell almut those Babbltes. though.
They are likely to spring a surprise at any
stage of the game. And they have some
pitchers who are lu tbo habit of winning
most of their games.
However. Red Fisher bad that habit be
