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.

Herman witnessed the Imat between Tsrry and Brttt recently and says he Is confident that he cun beat either of them. . • . Ten straight victories, a majority of them against the strongtat teams In the league. Is "some stunts," all right. Ont of the last sixteen games Atlanta has won fourteen. Which Is likewise perform ing a few feats. The team Is certainly In good running order now. If It will only stay so It looks 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 fore he hit Atlanta. Winters furnished a lot of amusement lu the seventh Inning when be was caught off second.. Phillips aent the hall to Blake and Blake threw It to O'Brien.' The Peli can third baseman tried to run Winters down, nnd Just at the critical moment Winters dropped across the baseline nnd O'Brien sprawled over him. In a second Winters was on his feet again nW ruahed to third. It did not seem that' O'Brien touched him, hilt Ills I'mps thought other wise nnd called "Ginger." out. Jordan did a hit of pretty work In the third on Beck's bunt. It looked' like a safe Inflebl lilt, but* Otto picked It up on the run nnd threw Beck out.

It was very thoughtful of Nashville to wallop Hhreveport Toraday. That put At lanta Juat a bit nearer the top. Horrell let the Pirate sluggers down with four hits. Curtis was bit for ten safeties by Co lumbia Tuesday aud hla support allowed 5 errors. The score waa 6 to 2, with Charleston xt the small end. I>ne White, of Chicago, let Philadelphia down with a single bit, whlls Waddell n nice game nnd aeems to keep hla place on the team cinched. He kept n cool head lu the pinches and never gave up.
