CRACKERS STILL FIGHTING
TO GET IN SECOND PLACE
It looks like third place for Atlanta.
But at that, second Is among'the re
mote possibilities.
To land second Atlanta will have to
wrln say 6 of the 8 games to be played
this week, while Memphis must lose
five out of the seven she Is clue to pins’.
The former proposition Is a cinch,
but the latter Is not so easy. Atlanta
ought to win the nix out of eight nil
right, but It Is doubtful If Memphis will
lose five out of seven.
If Atlanta gets running In good order
and takes all eight games this week
then she has a better chance, of
course. For If the Crackers make a
clean sweep and Memphis wins onl>*
four out of the seven, Atlanta would
finish In second place.
So there Is a chance, even though It
Is pretty remote.
The Shreveport team arrived this

to arrange for a six-round battle to be

For over a year Attell has been yell

RECORD FOR SUGGS.
orge Sugg*, the “hard lurk” pitcher**
of the Ncaeon of 1906. added another stunt
his ntrendy long list, by pitching a no*
eleven-tuning game.
Ids was quite the Iwiseball event of
season. Wilhelm and Fisher have also
pitched no hit games, but l*oth have been
niteuted with idite-lnnlug affairs.
Not satisfied with this, Suggs went after
ic ‘iron man ’ title In the same after-
.mii, and finished out the second game of
te double header.
"Say. no Itching the bull n bit. I’m
going to Denver soon to work out a
months and get back where I be
long. I don’t believe honestly that
there Is n fellow In the world weighing
128 who has it on me. I’ll get there
»n. I’ll get in shape, fight for a solid
ir nml In that time will make enough
__ satisfy me for a few years to come.
All I need Is the condltton. I have
everything else."
Over-anxiety anil nervousness have mar

this will wear off before the season ends—
