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, By Inning*: R.H.S.I Birmingham. , . .100 000 000—1 Atlanta . . . . .110 000 000-2 8 t| Summary—Two-base hits, Jordan: [ stolen bnse.., Crosier, 2; sacrifice hit,,I C.
