Archer has done wonderful work be
hlud the bat. His. catching has been high
class, nml his stick work timely. Tbe
pitchers have all shown fin* form. Hughea
has been the same old steady Toni, who
has been winning garnet for Atlanta all
the season with his fancy curves, great
control nnd flno bead-work. Zeller has
pitched as good ball at bo has shown at
any time this season.
He 'seems to have retained all of his
early knack, and has been “puttin' 'em
over and uinkln* 'em bit," which Is tho
secret of any pitcher's success. Sparks
has done first-class work. In Memphis,
over-eagerness to win coat him a game,
and In Shreveport tho fact that he started
work before he was well warmed up re
sulted lu his being knocked out of the

Fox's work has been the tame steady

tbe league, and the same may be said of
Jordan. Morse did good work aa long at
ha atdek to the team, and Hoffman showed
unexpectedly good form, both at short
and third—such good form,* In fact, that
many fans who aaw him play believe that
Dlly Smith made a mistake In not having
him with the team all the season. Sic
Smith did nice work behind tbe bat and
at third, and Crosier and Winters have
played their usual faultless game In the
field. Next to Hoffman, Evers proved the
surprise of the trip. Ills work In center
field hns been a revelation, and be hat
been hitting tbe ball right on the trade
mark.
Altogether, the players have done work
which has been gilt-edged, and Atlanta

Anniston baseball club has disbanded for

year In Its history. Out of seventeen game*
played, the team has won twelve, lost four
nnd tied one, getting n percentage of .756.
The team hns been up against some of
the fasteat amateur teams In the South,
among them the State Mutants of Rome,

lost but one aeries this year, and that to
the strong Rome aggregation, said to be

New Orleans pipers claim that the New
Orleana Bnaeball Association has cleared
120,000 on the aoason. As the association la
generally supposed to he In baseball for the
money which Is In It, Ita backers are to bs
congratulated on their success.
However, $20,000 seems to be hitting It
pretty high. That sum Is probably st least
two-thirds tbe face value of the capital
stock of the New Orleans club.
And the attendance at New Orleans baa
fallen off this year, according to tbe figures
submitted to Judge Ksvanaugh.
On appearance there la more betting done

AT THE THEATERS
At tha Casino.
Much Interest Is being shown In the
Casino bill for the week that com
mences Monday night, at the Ponce
DeLeon amusement resort
It has been much ln evidence that a
crest many local thsater-sosrs cere a
whole lot for good vaudeville, and that
the Casino Is one of the real popular
places of entertainment Ahd now with
an exceptionally good strong, original
and new bill of vaudeville, and the
theater aa comfortable as It wns In
tendsd to be In this kind of weather
season, there Is nothing wondsrful
about the Interest that Is being
prominently evidenced.
Bell 'phone 236 North has been In
demand. This Is the ‘phone at Ponce
DeLeon pork, over which a great many
orders for seats have been taken, and
that will become a decidedly popular
number within a short time. The or,
rangement works splendidly. A thea
ter-goer simply places an order, for
seat* and than calls for the reserva
tions at the Caelno box office at the
time of the performance, and such a
plan cant be Improved upon.
The bill for the week Is of excep
tional Interest. It Is well made and
there Is much variety. There are good
comedians, prstty girls, new Ideas In
vaudeville, nnd much that 1b novel.
The bill Is not nil unknown locally and
the word of the knowing ones predicts
a wondsrful succtss.
The Three Coates, of which Char
lotte Coates Is the star, will offer a
comedy playlet aald to be tha founda
tion for a coming musical comedy. In
which th* trio will be featured. This
sketch has been offered successfully In
the East, and th* first engagement of
the players In the South will be watch
ed with a good deal of Interest. By
request a return engagement of John
ny Johnson and Bob Harty will mark a
feature point. These popular member*
of the Walls, Dunne and Harlan forces
scored a delightful hit some weeks ago,
and before they return East, after vis
iting all the Wells theaters In tho
South, the general manager has direct
ed that they pay Atlanta another call,
and nothing' could plcaee the locals
better.
Mildred Flora, whose annual visits to
Atlanta haa been one of th* features of
the season, will occupy a special place
an the bill. Miss Flora Is a clever
comedienne, a flrst-rate vocalist and
her eccentric comedy specialty, Intro-
