GROWS WARMER
HOME SERIES IS OPENED
WITH CLEAN-CUT VICTORY
On Monday iftwnoon. Just at a atartar
for th* home aeries of fifteen games which
the Atlanta fana will hare the pleasure of
aerlng during the next two and a half
wccka, the Firecracker# trounced the aggro
gation of ball toaaera from Little Itock
to the tnne of 8 to 1. And the mighty
Brady waa In the box for the rlaltora at
that. It waa Atlanta’# game from the
flrat Inning, and It waa almply a question
as to bow large the acore would be at the
finish.
The game waa marked by dean, fnat
playing. Only one error waa chalked
ngnlnst each team. Until the last part of
the contest, It looked like a bltless shut
out, but “Doc" Childs finally let down it
little, with the result that the rlaltora
bunched the blta and scored a lonesome
run In the eighth. A base on balls to
Meany and two singles by DeArmond and
Douglass did the trick.
Atlanta bunched her runs In the first
and third Innings. In the first, Otto Jor
dan started the fun by singling. Theu,
with two out, flld Smith singled, scoring
Jordan, and Whltey Morse did the same,
scoring Smith. Of course. Fox war there
with his double, and Morse scored.
In the third Inning, and while It drls-
lied In a threatening manner, the splrlte
of the Little Hock delegation were still
further dampened by a bunch of hits, and
four runs for the home team. Winters
hit to second and lw»at It out. Rid Hmltb
and Morse each singled, nmi then, with
the bases full. Fox hit a cute one * past
second, scoring Winters nnd Smith. Wal
lace got a punk bit in the infield, and then.
a hot one by Archer past second scored
Morse and Fox.
Not content with the nnmber of runs
already set against the home team on the
score board, one more was added* In the
serenth. A pretty two-lmgger by Winters
and n single by *8mlth gave Winters the
needed opportunity to score on the throw
In, when Morse filed out to left field,
This is the score sheet which made the
Atlanta tans so happy last nlgbt:

la Charley Frank back at bla old tricks!
One of Little Kock’a home aeries has been
transferred to New Orleans and President
Kavanaugb has notified Manager Zimmer,
of Little Rock, of this change.
Unless one of the aeries between Little
Rock and the Pelicans In the Crescent City
la transferred back to Uttlo Roek-
Zlmmer haa beard of no auett transfer-
league la raugbt In tbs act of doing
what Atlanta has protested axnlnat most
bitterly for a couple of yeara-glvlng New
Orleans more game, at horns than they
have on lha road.. By giving them more
at home the league help, Charley Frank
In his rare for the pennant and propor
tionally handicaps the other clubs In their
effort! along the tamo line.
New Orleans la scheduled to play at Lit
tle Rock August a. 7 and A But Manager
Zimmer haa been notified to go to New
Orleans for this series. 1 Unless the three
game, which tho Traveler, are aehednled
to play In New Orleans July 23, 10 and J1
are transferred to Iho Arkanaaa capital—
nnd no one on earth haa any Idea that they
will be tranaferred-tbeo somebody Is giv
ing Charity Frank an advantage over other
teame In the league.
Moat of the talk about Charley Frank
and. hit position aa "Dictator of the
I .segue" tins been unadulterated both, but
If he can dictate to the league where garnet
are to be pteyrd It look* pretty bad.
Managar Smith waa up In arms when In-
formed of the Intended 1 switch. "We'll
have to do something," he said. "I'll writs
to Harry Vaughan and And out what ba
knows about It. Birmingham and Atlanta
will have to hang together on this (leal.”
When Manager Zimmer wee asked about
It he laid: "I only know that we have
been ordered by the president of the league
to play thoae game. In New Orleans, In
deed of In Little Bock, where they are
aehednled.. And wa have not been Informed
of any switching of game, hack to Little
Rock to make up for It, eo I take It that
we Juet lose thoee home games'’
Manager Zimmer, of Little Rock, seemed
glad to land In Atlanta Monday and ap
peared relieved that he had escaped from
New Orleane.
When he waa naked If ha saw any evi
dences of "rubber" balls In Pellcantown be
aafd: "I guess It la the old eaee down there
—‘punk belle' or 'Iced balle' when the vis
itor! are at bat, ‘lire balls' when the borne
team cornea In. But of course I can't
prove It
"It le none of my nuslnets," continued
the Chief, "but If I we. President Kava
naugh I would go down there myaelt and
when thlnga looked auspicious I would go
right on the Held, get the ball and cut It
open."
Zimmer waa unusually enthusiastic over
hla new man, Klstb. of University of
Arkanaaa fame. "Be fa the find of the
season," he tald, "and be will go higher. 1
Wallace, the new recruit took hla flrat
turn In the Held yesterday and made
hit with the fana. If he continues to do
well be will be retained. If he does not
Billy Smith aaya that be la going to try
to go back In 'the game, *
"I talked the matter over with Harry
Vaughan,” be sntd, "and we decided that
there wee nothing In the constitution or
by-lawe of the leagne. and nothing In the
rules of the National Association or the
rules of baeebnl! which prevented me from
going In and out when I pleased I think
that President Kavanaugb waa wrong when
he warned Vanghan and me that It we
went out again we fould not go back,
caae It la necessary we will teat tbet
rails*.".
Manager Kmlth was much pleated at the
•howlng of Cblldt In.Monday's game.
"He did not try to pitch hla head off In
the flrat two or three Inning, tha way he
baa other times." said Manager BlUy, “end
In consequence he lasted better.”
When aeked about Duggan and
rhanrea of making the team. Manager
Smith aald: "I don't know what abont Dug
gan, but one thing le certain, he will get
a fair trial with us."
SOME CHORTLES FROM A CHEERFUL GAME
Not so bad for a starter, eb!
It wee a long game, made more to by
the Jow manner In wblrb the rleltors
toeeed around tha halt In the early Inning,
whan It looked as though J. Pluvlus would
help tbem out with a downpour of rain.
After tha dfth they played much faater
ball.
All ryes were on Wallace,.the new flelder
Billy Bmltb landed while the team waa
away; and when he walked to the plate
In the flrat he got the glad hand from the
crowd In a truly warm welcome. And when
he got a pretty tingle and slid 20 feet
to make second on the tbrnw-ln maybe
he didn't deserve the applanee he' got.
After a lltlle nervousneaa la worn off and
he becomes better . acquainted with hla
teammates he will undoubtedly he at good
aa tha heat of tbem In hie position. -
Jim Fox-appeared at the plate with a
new hat end the crowd wee "on" In a
minute. The bat la evidently filled wltb a
new supply of hits, for the tall boy got
a single and double Juet when they were
wanted.
Dee” pitched greet bell, and with the
good support bed the game well In bend
at all stages.' la the fltat Inning be retired
tbe aide In one-two-three order end he re
pealed the stunt several times, Juat to show
how easy It was. If he hadn't 1st np
In the last few Innings ba could hart won
a no-hlt game.
One of the funniest plays that hae oc
curred on the local diamond this year waa
that In the third Inning. Archer wet on
Bret end Wallace on third, nobody was out
and Child, waa at the bat. A double steal
was attempted, Archer starting for second
and Wallace for home. Archer got to sec
ond ell right, ne the attention of the vis
itors was given entirely to Wallace, who
waa caught between third and home. Archer
k«t,<m coming, however, and although
Wallace safely retreated to third, he landed
there at the same time Archer did, and
the latter waa tagged out. Every man In
the lafleld got an aaalat os tbe play.
Brady waa credited with a punk hit In
the dfth that waa entirely due to n mlarne
by Child, . Illckey waa on flrat, and when
Brady hit an easy grounder to pitcher,
Childs threw to third, although nobody
waa ever dreaming of going to that corner
of the diamond. Juat what made Childs do
the atnnt It bard to explain, although some
body on the roarhlng Una undoubtedly
blundered. No damage waa done by the
pity, anyway, so what's the use?
visitors In the seventh, and It waa a mighty
pretty one, too. The next three men were
easy outs, however, and so again, what'a
tbe use?
It sure did look like rain In the second
and third Inning, and the little sprinkling
that did coma only added to the fears of
tho fane. No doubt the vleltore were offer
ing Btleut prayers for rain before the flfth
Inning, but It wet not to be nnd not a
moment waa lost on account of tbe drltale.
Wallace accepted hla four chances In a
very profeaalonal manner, and with bla two
hits made a good Impression upon the local
crowd, who expect great thlnga to develop
from the new youngster. Wallace It built
like Stinson and bids fair to-, become tho
Idol of the ladle*.
Ilia' frapa Rndderham had' abont tbe
cosiest time of any official who haa' held
that difficult position on the local diamond
thla season, for not once were hie decisions
questioned. And conetdertng the aereral
feet plays that were made end the does
decisions rendered It wst Indeed good work
for hie maps.
Tbe crowd wet no\ what waa expected
for the opening day of the new home terlee,
but the stay this time le eo long that tha
fana will have ell .kinds of opportunities
to esq the local boys struggle for tbe pen
nant. Tneaday la ladles' day, and It la
an assured fact that with‘any kind of de
cent weather the attendance will be up to
tbe top notch: . *.
Far be It from ue to discourage any
legitimate rooting, bnt the nae of cow bells
for that purpose It very much to the Way-
cross. A fan who haa nor consideration for
thoae around him Is an undesirable addition
to any ball park. _ . .

Tbe crowd wga In an uproar. O’Brien
had met a man who hit him In every ex

he met a left of Berger's that sent him
to the ropes, and rained a lump like an
olive over bla right eye. Berger's seconds
were wildly yelling for him to keep at
O'Brien imd Berger was there like "Johnny
behind the rock." He forced the Quaker
all over the ring, taking Jabs to smash the
body wltb either hand, and setting a pace
that waa killing.
O'Brien opened the second by smashing
hla left to Berger’a nose, drawing blood,
but the latter never stopped. Ue ripped
a left Into O'Brien’s stomach that lifted
the latter off the fioor and as O’Brien
dacked an Imaginary left Berger welted him
on the eye with a right hook that tore a
gash an Inch wide In the Quaker’s eyebrow.
Blood / flowed down O'Brien’s face, over hla
shoulder and down his chest In a stream.
Berger’s glove waa Boon bloody nnd every
time be smashed the Quaker he left a red
mark, so that In a few moments O'Brien
looked more like an Indian than a tvbtte
