“This is J. A. Wingo. I have just read your article in re-
iuird to the need of some inatructor to take charge of the swim
ming at Piedmont park in the morning, when Mr. Weems Is
not able to be there. It would tako about ten years to get an
appropriation thru for snolv a purpose. Why not have Dan
Carey look up some good man and let a few of ua who aro
interested throw in enough to pay his salary. You can put
me down for #1 a week for the season, just aa a starter.”
years of agitation will not get the action On such n proposi
tion that ten minutes of enthusiastic subscription will.
This is the season when a lot of young men who would be
perfectly competent to have charge of the swimming at Pied
mont nark are out of college and kcon for jobs. Suoh n man
could be picked up cheap for tho swimming season. A few sub
scriptions would pay his wages.
The need of swimming instruction for the young peoplo of
Atlanta has been shown all too clearly of late. Deaths by
drowning have occurred that would never havo happened if
the victims had known how to swim.
Now is tho very timo to raise monoy for a swimming in
structor who can take charge of the lake in the morning.
If one is secured, the swimming lessons can go on all day.
Arc thcro any others in Atlanta who tjjink as Mr. Wingo
does, and aro they willing to demonstrate their sincerity in
the enthusiastic way that he didt

New Orleans, June 15.—The Atlanta
baseball team can overcome bad luck.
Injuries and batting st?eaks of the op
position; they can down a Jinks In Its
tracks and they know no fear. But
hanged If It can defeat Otto Hess.
Yesterday the Crackers were win
ning a game. After six innings of bar
ren waste, during which the Pelicans
were piling up a tremendous lead, the
Atlantans exploded an old-time rally.
Hit followed hit, and Pitcher Veasey,
who had hitherto held the Crackers
with amaxlng ease, was blue with fear
and sick unto death of his job. There
seemed to be no stopping the visitors.
Watson ltd off with a double. He went
to third on a wild pitch. Foxen was
safe on Barr's error, but Watson was
held at third. Sykes singled and Wat
son scored. Britton executed a sacri
fice fly. Zimmerman singled and two
more men scored.
The Crackers were playing like wild
men. Jordan, the next man at bat,
dashed to the plate, keen to make the
hit that would' tie it up. And then a
hush fell. For. at a signal, Veasey
dropped the ball and walked out. And
onto the field stalked Otto Hess. In
an instant Otto Jordan wilted, and so
did the whole Atlanta team. For Hess
Is the official getter of Cracker goats.
Jordan pulled himself together and
got away with a bunt that Hess mussed
up sufficiently so that both runners
were safe. But the smiling Dutchman
of the Pelican team made no more mis
takes. He struck out the terrible
'Biff" Corbin and grabbed O'Dell’s
grounder In time to retire that speedy
lad at first. After that Inning Hess
had the Crackers where he always has
them—helpless.
What has gone before explains, per
haps, why the Crackers didn’t win.
To explain why they lost is equally
easy. Wildness is the answer.
And Arlington Albert Britton fur
nished the wildness. In the fourth In
ning the chunky Atlanta hurler walked
four men and allowed one wee infield
hltlett. Two of the "walks" came first
Then the hit. And then two bases on
balls forced runners across the plate,
If it had not been for this inability
to throw the ball across the pan Brit
ton would have been a winner. The
Pelicans could not do any damage to
his curves. But his unjustifiable lib
erality cost the contest

It Is exactly two months since the
Southern league season opened, April
15. It still haa three months to run.
In the two . months played, as the
percentage column shows. New Orleans
has piled up a lead that looks hard to
overcome. But yet. with some of the
downstairs" teams going as strong as
they are, that lead may vanish by
July 15.
New Orleans has plied up Its surplus
In the last month. On May 16 ths Cres
cent City was at the top with a per cent
of .583. Now Frank's team haa .660, a
gain of .077.
Montgomery, which now stands sec
ond. with .669, has made a gain of .069
since May 16, and moved up to the sec
ond berth. •
Birmingham, now In third position,
with .491, has Just about held Its own In
the past month. It was tied at .500
with Montgomery and Mobile for third
place on May 15.
Chattanooga, the fourth of the first
division teams at present, has risen
from eighth place and has gained .037
In percentage, standing now at .472. A
month ago the Lookout percentage was
.436.
Memphis has been taking a ride on
the toboggan In the past month. The
Turtles dropped In a month from .583
and a first place tie to fifth round and
.462, a loss of .131.
Atlanta Is holding the same position
now that It had May 15, to wit, sixth.

However, the Cracker standing
dropped .030, from .478 to .448.
Nashville has made a rise In the past
month from bottom to seventh position
and from .417 to .444 In percentage. The
gain was .027—which was small but
