BIRMINGHAM 1. ATLANTA 2.
In'a game of ball like those you read
about. Atlanta put th, knout to the
Blrmlbgham Barona Thursday by a
score of l-td I.
Both teams played baseball for
keeps, and the game waa one of the
most entertaining of the year. There
were just enough hits and just enough
brilliant plays and a sufficient quantity
of good, wholesome excitement stored
In the hour and thirty-live minutes that
the game lasted to make It just what
the doctor ordered.
"Doc" Childs appeared on the Bring
line for the Crackera for the drat time
since hla term of suspension expired,
and he did nice work. Four hits, two
of which were made by the mighty
Molesworth, were the net result of the
Barons' batting, efforts, and a single
base on balls was all he gave up.
Atlanta scored twice. In the first In
ning hits by Winters and Morse turned
the trick, while In the second Jordan's
good two-bagger and Archer’s single
accomplished the desired effect.
The Atlanta players were right on
their toes all through the g^me, and
It was evident from th, jump that no
team In the leagu. could beat them,
