Do you know, considering that it is the first of the season,
the Southern league teams are running remarkably close to
form t As they stand today.* the four clubs that we picked to
finish in the first division are in that division, and the same for
the last divison clubs.
Of course, we have Atlanta picked for first place in the
first division, instead of last. But that will adjust itself in
time.
One club, at least, is in the exact position we placed it—
Mobile. And there it is very likely to stiek.
Several of the league races are tightening up quite a bit.
Billy Smith's Buffalo team is closing in on Newark, and it ap
pears that Bill’s Buffaloes are bad animals this year.
In the American league the clubs are woefully spread out,
but as Philadefj)hia’s winning streak has been fractured, there
may perhaps he a closing-up after a while. The Tigers turned
the' tide against the Athletics, and did it good and strong.
Fourteen to two was the score. And Jennings’ men made only
a paltry nineteen hits off Krause and Dygert.
The Yanks are still winning. Stallings has a ball club this
year and his pitchers are going better than usual.
Cincinnati used two ex-Crackera Thursday in defeating
New York. Castleton started the game and Rowan finished it.
And the Reds won, 8 to 7.
That National league race gives promise of warming up
mighty well. Pittsburg has a lead of only one full game over
Chicago. Cincinnati is less than half a game behind the Cubs.
And the New York team is only a bit more than half a game
behind Chance's men. St. Louis is right next, with Philadelphia
close up. In fact, between Pittsburg, the leading club, and
Philadelphia, in sixth place, there is a difference of only three
whole games. There are some chances in a race like that.
Marist Team Has
Two More Games
The Prep league season la fast draw
ing to a close, and only a tew games
remain to be played.
The Marlat team, which lead* the
league, haa a pair of battles on tap be
fore the season closes. ' The first comes
Saturday with the Tech High school.
And then comes the Anal game with
Boys High school—a battle that will
decide the pennant race. Unless some,
thing unexpected happens, the Marist
team will enter this game with a clean
record of not having lost a game, while
the Boys High school will have only
one Marist game to Its discredit. It
this 1s the case, the High school team
will have to win the last game to tie
the rare.
OPENING GAME POSTPONED.
Cartersville, Os., May 20.—Owing to
the Inclement weather Monday the
opening game of the baseball season
was postponed until May 23, when the
strong Falrmount team will oppose the
locals. Captain Cope has selected a
pretty fast team and the outlook Is for
a successful season. The team this
year will be composed entirely of Cnr-
tersvllle boys.
i NO GAMES—KING'S FUNERAL! t
J New York, May 20.—AU games $
+ In the Eastern league are off to- +
+ day because of the funeral of +
+ King Edward. +
+ Two games will be played by +

BAXLEY WINS AND LOSES.
Baxlsy, Ga., May 20.—The Baxley-
high school team met and defeated the
Haslehurst second team Wednesday
by a score of » to 7. The game was
Interesting.
The feature of the game waa the
pitching of Thomas for Baxley, who
gave up only five hits and struck out
fourteen men.
Batteries: Baxley. Thomas, Cmiraon
and Barnes: for Haxlehurst. Harrison,
Bean and Cromartle.
Thursday Baxley met the strong ag
gregation of ball teasers from McRae,
losing by a score of [> to 4. Never
was the game decided until the last
man waa thrown out In the eighth In
ning. when It was called on account
of darkness.
The features of the game w"e the
pitching af Branch for Baxley, who
struck out sixteen men and gnve up
only five hits; the excellent playing of
Catcher Crosby and Shortstop Vaughan
for Baxley, and also the pitching of
Davenport for McRae In the last In
