You can't win baseball ©imes unless

But, anyway, it shows the right spirit
to try. And Atlantu surely tried Tues
day.
If Atlanta wins another game tills
week It will be something to he thank
ful for. It is pretty hard work to take
games when four or five regulars Ae

Wallace is certainly right on the spot
when It comes to fielding. With two
Barons on bases and two out In the
sixth Meeks laced out a long one to
deep renter. It looked like a two-
bagger and the fans gasped, but Wal
lace went out under It and pulled it i
down In tine style.
It took Shreveport twelve Innings to!
beat New Orleans, but thank goodness j
the Pirates got away with it. Bill :
Evans broke the tie by hitting a two-
bagger. advancing on a passed bull and j
stealing hom.*.
Rtockdale lost the first game Tues- j
•lay for Memphis to Little Rock and
Loucks won the second. Brady was
the winning wltcher and Keith the I
ioaur.
If Atlnntn does not have to go to semi-
professions I rnuks before the end of the
week to piece out u team then the luck of
the Crackers will change In the meantime.
Fox Is still out. Ho Is Jordnu.
Jim Archer played out the gmue Tuesday
under the Influence of strong drugs and It
took the courage of a Spartan to pull hh
through. When the game ended lie was
physical wreck nml It Is doubtful If he on:
piny ngnln for h few days.
Tuesday night Wallace hsd a hard chill
nml n doctor was csllcit In to rare for him.
Whether he will round Into shape to piny
Wednesday remains to be seen.
That puts Atlnntn to the bad for n regu
lar catcher, first baseman, second baseman
and center fielder.
If flint’s not pretty punky luck, then
somebody has iiindc 11 wrong guess.
Poor old Archer pulled through the game
Tuesday iitnler the utmost strain. IBs bad
shoulder was In terrible Condition, nnd he
should not have gone Into the game under
any circumstances. With rare courage,
however, he played through to the finish.
.lust how Hilly Smith will meet the crisis
Is not known, but It looks ns though he
would be forced to play some pitchers.
The tram Is so crippled nnd patched up
now. however, that a change or two can
make little difference.

now and the end of the season.
The game had some fast young dou
bles in It. Archer got away with one
all by himself.
Sparks struck out Molesworth the
first three times that that nifty batter
came up. Remarkable record, that. It
takes fancy curves to fool “Moley"
three times in succession.
The game started off at high speed
and the first three Innings were played
in 29 minutes. Then the team slowed
up a bit*, though the fourth Inning took
only 10 minutes. The first five and n
half innings were completed within the
hour.
"It Is not at all Improbable that
highly sensational transactions may
take place in this league before the
close of the season. It Is known that
plans now under the surface will cause
a quake that will be felt In every city
In the association when they are put
In operation. The recent letter of Sec
retary Arnold, of Atlanta, to President
Kavunaugh was the torch that set the
powder off, and when the smoke has
blown away It Is very probable that
certain dub managers nnd dub owners
in the association will see the folly of
their ways. Just what the letter hand-

Frank to President Kavanaugh con-

IN FAVOR OF SOUTH ATLANTIC
Special to The Georgian.
Portsmouth, Vn., Aug. IS.—The Virginia
State League next year tuny not Include
Richmond and Norfolk.
t There Is a movement on foot to get these
two big titles in the South Atlantic.
If Atlanta nnd Hlrmlnghnm leave the
Southern League, Rlehiiioud nml Norfolk
would be wllllug to Join them tu the South
A t In lit It* League.
M. B. Bradley, owner of the Richmond
dOb nml vice-president of the Virginia
League, says that the withdrawal of the
two clubs will probably be the outeonie of
the present situation, if the twq big nlubi
of tlie slate get out. then Newport New*
ami 1'eferxbitVg will probably Join In. Nat
urally then the lenipie will be Hinnllor.

save Mr. Frank and Mr. Kavanaugh,
but those close to the New Orleans
club believe that it contains a sensa
tional reply to that part of Mr. Ar
nold’s letter which reflects on the man
agement of the New f Orleans club. Lo
cal fans applaud the method of Man
ager Frank in giving the reply to the
president of the league, Arnold's let
ter having been addressed to President
Kavanaugh.—New Orleans Item.
Let 'er "bust." We will Hee who
gets soaked.—Birmingham Ledger.
It Is believed in some circles that
William M. Kavanaugh will not an
nounce for re-election as president of
the Southern League next season.
It is known that the present presi
dent has said that in the event he was
not chosen unanimously he would not
accept the position.
This statement was made following
one which contained the Information
that he wouldn’t accept the office
again.
Whether or not President Kavanaugh
expects to abide by his latest statement
Is not known, but’ it is learned from
authentic sources thut there Is a
probability that President Kavanaugh
