which haa been pulled off In these diggings
for many a moon and then several.
Jack Prince, Impresario, promoter of hike

by tboae mean looking, long, trogdlke, 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 aa though they must cer
tainty go right through the planking, ao
great waa their speed. Rut -every time
they flattened out, exactly parallel with
the face of old Mother Knrth and swung
around 'arid Into the stretches ngsln.\
Tommy Hal|, who Is a ohmikey little
Englishman. with leg muscles like steel
ropes and speed to burn tied up In him
somewhere, showed well lu hla work. Ill*

of the KuglUh bike loving public, and
while Atlanta people find It hard to be
lieve that be bn* a chance to beat their
own Wnlthonr, at least they will turu out
to see him try.
The old Coliseum looks like a new place.
Manager Prince luia bad a big force of men
at work cleaning It up and It fairly shines
now. The street car company had a force
of men nt work Wednesday cleaning out
the tracka to the building, and they are
ready to tun their cars right to tho door.
Altogether the events Thursday ami Fri
day nights promise to lie big successes.

Archer 9 s Leg is Broken
But Crackers Win Again
..5 NEW ORLEANS 3
Atlanta established * new high- water
mark Wednesday by winning her eleventh
consecutive game, defeating New Orleans
5 t<» 3.
The gaine was marred and the spirits of
the players and enthusiasts were dampened,
however, by tb«^ unfortunate accident
which happened lu the eighth Inning ami
which resulted In the fracturing of Arch
er’s Isg.
In this Inning Knoll went to second on a
hit and started home on Deck's single. Cro-
xler, who fielded the hit, threw to home
plate and Archer caught the ball nud stood
ready to tag the runner, lhinch slid vicious
ly at the plate and Archer caught the full
weight of ibe oncoming player on his left
ankle. Thero was a snap and Jimmy
dropped to the ground with a broken bone.
To add to the /excitement Mrs. Archer
fainted aa her husband was carried from
the grounds and altogether the lucldent wns
one which brought sorrow, and sympathy to
the hearts of all good fans.
Aside from this unfortunate happening
tho game waa a good one nt all times. Toro
Hughes out pitched Manuel nud the Atlanta
team pat It *11 over the 1'eHcans. It was a
good, thorough walloping, but the New Or
leans bunch took It like men and the way
they hung on nml fought It out kept the
fans worried as to the outrorae. The Crack-
era played their usunl gingery ball am| the
fans bad the time of their lives.
The crowd , was tho usual, one for these
days and taxed the capacity of the park to
the utmost.
