Archer*s Leg is Broken But Crackers Win Again ANOTHER HAS-BEEN GOES OVER THE HILL. ANOTHER VICTIM APPROACHES. 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. . Trying Hard to Dislodge . Lid That Higgins Applied By Private [mmI Wlrv. N»w Turk. Jnnv 7—Th.

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.
