Everything in Readiness
For Walthour-Hall Races
Thursday night the lovers of that most
exciting of gntnes—motor-juicpd rurlug—will
have a chance to ace one of the beat erenta
which has boon pullcu off In these diggings
for many a tuoon and then several.
.lack I'rlttce, Impresario, promoter of bike
races and manufacturer of skating rinks,
lias everything ready to tbo minute for
the big event.
The aew track Is a wonder for s|teed. It
was built nuder the personal supervision of
Jack l'rlnee. who holds ail A. It. degree
from the Reboot of Track Itulldlng. nud It
la as good ns any In the country.
The wny Walt hour and Tommy Hall took
It Wednesday afternoon In practice, paced
by thorn* mean looking, long, Iiug-llke, loud
noised, double-cylinder French motors, was
a caution. They went down the stretches
like mad things and when they hit the
turns It looked ns though they must cer
tainty go right through the planking, so
great waa their speed. Hut every .time
they flattened out, exactly parallel with
the face of olf] Mother Knrth and swung
around aud Into the stretches again.
Tommy Ilall, who Is n eh unkey little
Englishman, with leg muscles like steel
ropes and sjmnmI to burn tied up In hlui
somewhere, showed well In his work. He
Is certaluly handy on the turns, this Idol
of the English bike loving public, and
while Atlaula people ftml it hard to (re
lieve that he has a chance to bent their
own Walthour, at least they will turn out
to ace him try.
The old t'ollsenm looks like a new place.
Manager Prince hna had a big force of men
at work clenulng It up and It fairly abides
now. The street car company had n force
of men at work Wednesday cleaning out
the tracks tp the bnlldlug, and they are
ready to run their cars right to the door.
Altogether the events Thursday nnd Fri
day nights promise to Ire big successes.
The amateur race* will attract much at
tention. The youngster* are ready to fight
for their lives mid they ought to fahtlth
loads of excitement. .

NEW ORLEANS 3
Atlanta established a new high water
mark Weduesday by -winning ber eleventh
consecutive game, defeating New Orleans
6 to 3.
The game waa marred and the spirits of
the jdnyera and enthusiasts were dnmiwued.
however, by the unfortunate accident
which happened In the eighth Inning and
which resulted In the fracturing of Arch
er’s leg.
In this Inning Knoll went to second on a
bit nml started home on Ilerk's single. Cro
sier, who fielded the bit, threw to home
plate nud Archer caught the ball and atood
ready to tag the runner. Conch slid vicious
ly at the plate and Archer caught the full
weight of the oncoming player on his left
unklc. There was a snap and Jimmy
dropped to the ground with n broken boUe.
To add to tho excitement Mrs. Archer
fainted ns her (midland was carried from
the grounds nnd altogether the Incident wna
one which brought sorrow and sympathy to
the hearts of all good‘fans.
Aside frooi this' unfortunate happening
the game was a jcood one nt nil times. Tom
Hughes outpltrhed Manuel and the Atlanta
team put It till over'the Pelican*. It was n
good, thorough wulloplng, tint the New Or
leans bunch took it like men and the wny
they huug on nml fonght It out kept the
fans worried as to the outcome. The Crack
ers played their usual gingery ball and the
fans hnd the time of their lives.
The crowd waa the usual one for these
days and taxed the capacity of the park to
the utmost.

Matty started In to pitch yesterday’s game
here with tbe Quakers, nnd gave six lw«*a

he was all In he resorted to the old trick
of kicking himself oat of the game to avoid
l»e|ng taken out. Local fans say that bit
actions were those of a spolleil child. It
certainly Is a slmme to see tbe greateat
pitcher of modern times going wrong Just
like any minor league twlrlcr.”
Atlanta has certainly bit the road that
lends to the top of the percentage ladder.
