The first one will b« called In the morning at 10 a. ni. and the seooud at the nsual time In the afternoon. It Is IlkHy that, If the weather Is fair all day, a crowd the like of which the league has never known will be on hand for the festivities; and If attendance rec ords are not shattered the weather man will undoubtedly Ik* at fault. The local association Is not worrying It self to death about the attendance figures that day, for the money will be pooled any way. but they would like to set a uew record, however, and they stand a good dbsnce of doing so. The Interest In baseball will not l»e eon- fined to the professional end.

The Southern Tennis championship will lie In full blast July 4 aud will attract large uutnl>era of spectators.

Coughlin, of Brooklyn, affairs that othletlca are detrimental to health, and that when a man seeks strength for strength's sake he Is on dangerous ground. The physician—and he stands high— has collected a mu of statistics to back up hla claim. Ho declares that athletes are especially subject to: Heart disease. Pneumonia. Ccrebro spinal disease (meningitis, neuritis end the like). * Tuberculosis. Infectious diseases of many klyda.

In a loosely played, but, af times. In tensely exciting contest on the Piedmont diamond Saturday afternoon, Iwfore the largest crowd of the week, the Firecrack ers gave up another game to the Birming ham Iron Workers, much to the chagrin of the local fans, who were confident that with the mighty Hubs In the box the lo cals would surely turn out a victory. Hut It was not the Rube'a fault that the locals lioys did not pull out victorious, for at all stages of the game he pitched good ball, particularly when a bit would have meant two or three runs. This hap pened In the fourth and sixth Innings. An error by Morae and the faUure of Hilly Smith to connect tttth a fly were respon sible for, at least, two ran*. Doth teams sent men over the plate In the third. Sallee, Mdeaworth, Smith and Alcork each got a single iu succession, and the two former scored. When Atlanta took her turn, poor pitching on the part of Sallee gnre Zellar, Crosier and Hhl Smith free passes to first, filling the t»ases. A timely two-bagger by Whltey Morse brought three men'home. A three-bagger by Gear In the fourth and a single by Oyler were responsible for the ran which tied the acore, amF only excellent pitching by Zellar prevented the visitors from scoring two more ruua In the same Inning. But the two came In the seventh, when singles by Moleswortb, Al- cock aud Gear gave them two easy runs. who smashed 106 ont of 125.
