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.
