AND EASTERNERS ARE BUMPED tt IRON MAN” LIEBHARDT SPOILS WINNING STREAK Pitches Both Games of Double-Header and Memphis Wins Both By Same Score. Sparks and Duggan Work Hard. It was all Llebhardt In Friday’s double header between Memphis and Atlanta •t Piedmont park, and the younf Dutchman ffot away with both games, each by a score of 3 to 1. This la the third time this year that the youngster has won both games of a double-header, and be has clinched hla claim on the title of Iron Man. The first contest went to ten Innings. "Uabby" reeel red marvelous barking from the other members of the Illuff City team. The entire aggregation was right at Its boat, and the exhibition of pitching, like that of fielding, has seldom If over Iteen excelled on local grounds this season. Sparks, the Mississippi Midget, worked for Atlanta, and he worked wonderfully well. Up to the eighth Inning, he held the Hustlers safe, and the score In that In* nlng resulted from Whltey Morse’s error. In the ninth he blanked the visitors, and It took fancy batting and base-ruunlug lu the tenth to win out. With the score tied In the tenth. Nichols walked, Nadeau singled. Plass forced Nichols out at third, and then Nndenu and Plnsa worked a double steal. Ilaldt next went out to second. Sparks walked llurlhurt, who was hitting In phenomenal style; Llebhardt was hit by a pitched ball, forcing Nadeau home, and IMass scored on Mid Smith’s error. Billy Smith put In his Inter-State recruit In the second game, and the young ster did well after the first three Innings. In the first Inning, the Hustlers mixed up hits with Atlanta's errors, and put over two runs. In the second Inning, uothlng was stirring, but In the third timely work with the stick and fast going on bases put another run over. To the Inst Inning, It looked as though "Webby" had a shut-out to hla credit, but with one down In the ninth. Winters and Bid Smith singled and Morse and Fox walked. This forced Winters home with Atlanta’s only run. The double defeat was a bard blow to Atlanta, for It broke a string of nine Victories. The scores: F1RBT GAME. ~ ATLANTA*— rroxler. If..

Manager Babb Puts Through Deals for Two Neyo Players M6MPHI8 PUT8 ATLANTA OFF THE 8CENT IN THE PENNANT CHA8E. Some Few Excuses, “Whys” and u Ifs >> Llebhardt! Oh! that young Dutchman. And at that he aays be Isn't a Dutch man at all. Tom McCullough says he la a Scandina vian. But, at that, be calls him "Guggen- helmer” for abort. Anyway, be la the beet pitcher In the league, so far at our observations have carried. It was pi'etty tough to bfeak that win ning streak. But It was a deadly Insult to make It two In a row. Those dratted Memphis players. They are the worst In the business. Every tlrou they see the Crackers they throw them down and take a game or two away from them. Burglars! 80 far thla year, the Hustlers hare won •even games and lost four to the Crack ers. If the other teams had done likewise and In the same proportion, the Crackers would be down nasoclatlfig with Little Bock and Nashville. Here's hoping that Memphis will have sold Llebhardt and shipped him uwty be fore the Hustlers get back here. Per sonally, "Guggenheim" It a fine chap. But we do hate to have him pitch against that baseball team of ours. News has Just reached Atlanta by way of Memphis, where It arrived from Birming ham, that the Memphis team has been putting through some denis. From Cairo, In the Kittle League, Man ager Babb haa secured Pitcher Wagner. Wagner Is said to be a wonder. He Is a big left-hander, built along the same gen eral physical lines as Llebhardt, and he hsa done good work with the Cats. For some reason Wagner has refused to report, but he Is expected to turn up In Memphis about Sunday. Memphis also traded Clark and Ilaldt for Watson, a Texas League pitcher. This \ fellow Is said to be a wonder, and be sqre- ly mutt he If he was worth two such good men as Clark and Ilaldt. Clark haa already gone to Texas, hut Ilaldt la still with the team and will be until the right man Is found for second base. Msnnger Babb will ship Stockdsle and Llebhardt to Montgomery, where the Bibb* Itet open Monday. Between games. "Scandlnhvtan Glen" sat on the visitors' Inmch, hunched over like nn old man. Ills face was blotched and red, and he looked "all out." When he got up to pitch the second game, though, he was as chipper as a college pitcher In the first Inning of n winning game, and his ginger did not give out until the last Inulng. Suggs and Ixuicks will go to Memphis with the team and Suggs will pitch la the Sunday gntuc against Now Orleans. That Urge hoy, Ed Hurlburt, was doing business with the ash. In the first game, he made two hits out of three times up. and In the second, one out of the same number of times at bat. while Mriniibl. bike* for Mont- 0OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO0 0 o O WHERE THEY PLAY TODAY.

Hnrlburt went pretty nearly to Arat baa. for the last one, but could not get near enough for a shot at It, even at that The Intentional passing of Hurlburt war n doubtful piece of Judgment. If Spnrka had “got nwny with It,"'the fane would have balled him aa the thinking pitcher of the age, nud he wnuld. hare won the nickname of “Noodles" right on the spot Aa he happened, inoat unfortunately, to hit IJnbhnrdt, the next man up, with a pitched ball, and thus forced a man home, he caino In for a lot of criticism. It la probable that It la bad policy to pasa a man when two are already on bnaea, but either horn of 8parka' dilemma was suffi ciently sharp to make sitting there uncom fortable. And Sparks did hla beat, which 1* all that any man can do, and a lot more than most of them do. It waa Ane buslneaa In th* Arat game wben Crosier and tVIntera combined on the Arat run.

In the Orest Trial of 320.000 Dran ran Water Pearl Into the ground In a stretch duel, the latter quitting sheolutely. This manner of race running found * complete reversal when the two colts met In the second half of the Double Event on the Anal day at Sheepshesd Bay, where Wster Pearl put It on the Ossary horse. It la now one race apiece, and the coming Brighton Junior should nerve na the robber. Ilandlcappera and race playera are now prepared to con cede thee* two youngsters the beat so far developed this year. Trainer John W. Rodgers, of the Whitney stable, declares, for example, that Water Pearl Is a cer tain winner of the 150,000 Futurity next September. First honors among American 2-year-olds seem to rest with Water Pearl, Oran Bor. nre E. end Jack Atkins.

Denver, Colo., Jqjy 21.—Six rounds, brim ful of fighting, were enough for Tommy Mowatt, the fighting conductor of Chicago, and while he was staggering helpless around the ring vainly trying to ward off the wallops of Dick Hyland, of San Fran cisco,' hls seconds threw up the sponge. Mowatt took up more fares than he could register. He was pitted against one of the best lads In the business and was handicapped In age, cleverness nud ring generalship. A more game battle has never been seen In Denver. Hopelessly defeated after the third round, the Chicago man never faltered a moment, hut waa always coming In and was willing to take a couple In order to land a baymaket, which waa hit only chance of claiming the big end STOCKDALE, ‘The Old Grey Fox." Ob, he’a ancient, and he’a crippled, 80 he ixins a little lame; But you’ve got him, Babb, you keep him. Just the same, For hs’a heady ns they make’ em, For he’s foxy aa hla name. And I’d ask the man who questions, Is he game? Did you see the chase they gave him, While they went the route that kills? Did you notice that he took It Like a good kid swallows pills? Did you see him running even With the howling Shreveport pack? Did you watch him reach the limit, Turn around, and double back? When they threw some wild behind him. In the hurry, snd the pinch, Did you hear him rnlse a holler? Did you see him shirk, or flinch? of the purse. Hyland fought a clever battle through* put. He warmed up gradually and never missed hls opportunity. Cleverly avotdlnf the wild swings. Jabs snd uppercuts oi hls apparently mad antagonist, he conn* tered with rare ability and at all times had the advantage. The fight was held In a tent acrosi ths border of Denver county and mors thin 2,000 enthusiasts took the long tramp across country to witness the battle. In the first ronnd Mowatt opened tbs fireworks and from all appearance was In shape to give "Fighting" Dick Hyland a hard tusale, bat before the Initial session was ended, Mowstt had begun to weaken. The altitude counted against him, and bs was blowing like a steam engine when tbs gong sounded. WHAT THE BURGLARS HAVE DONE TO US Many Inquiries bnvo been mnde about the result of the two previous engaiements between Atlanta and Memphis. Heer are the figures: June 7—Memphis heat Atlnnta 7 to t Llebhardt . pitched against Sparks and Loucks. June 8—No game; caln. June 9—Memphis heat Atlanta 7 to 1 Suggs pitched against Zeller.

Hughes pitched against Loucks and Suggs. The first three games were scheduled la Atlanta; the Inst three In Memphis. No, he pitched a little better. While we looked to see him die; Then he stole off through the darkness With a fifteen-inning tie. Then he stole swat In darkness. While the bleachers howled tbelr bliss, And the grand stand will remember That he left a trail like thla: 000000000000000 Yes, he’s ancient, and he's crippled. Bo he runs a little lame; Rut We want him, Balib; We want him, Just the same. For he’a head/ as they make ’em, L'ne hs's ti\\ t >■ hla niiniat For bee foxy ns hla name.
