NICKERS NIT ID CRAB FINAL FARM SEA GULLS MOBILE. ALA.. May S.—The Crackers and the Gulls hook up this afternoon in the final game of their first series. This • contest meajis a lot to the Crack ers and they are going after it strong. After today's game the Crackers move on to New Orleans where, they ought to find the sledding a little easier than it has been here. Yesterday's hall game came to a head in the fourth Inning. The Gulls had scored two in the second and two in the third In the fourth the Crackers uncorked a rally. Ry hatting Burleson out of the box and mauling Duggan, they tied the score and filled the bases. It was 4 to 4. one man gone, the bases filled and the pitcher wab bling when Robert Ganley. ex-big leaguer, skipped jauntily to the platter He doesn't look like much of a hitter. He is small and duck legged. But he has some breadth of shoulder and is a dangerous man withall. Once at bat he. wasted no ■•time. He stamped his feet, grab bed his bat. took another hack at hie tobacco looked over the first ball and then smacked the second one. fair upon the seam. The ball sailed over first base, out over right field, across the fence and out into K the great beyond, where some small boy froze onto It, no doubt. As soon as it passed over the fence Ganley lost interest and trotted around the bags, scoring some three men ahead of him. After that there was nothing more to the game. It was another tough day for the Atlanta pitchers. Atkins and Mil ler were both knocked out of the box. but Hairy Johns saved the day JUMPS JACKSON CLUB TO RESCUE OLD HOME TEAM i ST LOTTS.

John Wille, who was in Devlin's corner, jumped into the ring when Tommy located the soft spot on the floor, and many of Perry's friends thought the referee should have de clared him the winner right then and there. But Wille jumped back to the floor as soon as he saw Dev lin was not injured. As both boys were still full of action, it would have proven a big disappointment to the fans to have declared Jim my a winner on- such a .technicality. The seventh and eighth rounds were all Perry's, and while he land ed many telling blows he found Devlin too clever to stop. In the ninth Jimmy eased up a bit and the milling was fairly even during thia period. In the Anal session Perry fought at top speed. A right hook to the jaw dropped Devlin for the count of nine, and when he arose and rushed in close Perry worked on the body-wlth-both hands, and the final bell sure brought joy to the game little Quaker.

Geo. Muse Clothing Co. White Wanted Another Trial So Conley Answered Phone By H. M. Walker. IOS ANGELES, May S.—The boxer who can create a de mand for his services through efforts made in a losing battle is a rare bird. Two of these in the same ring form a curious combina tion. Usually all that is required of a loser is that he drop out of sight, the quicker and harder the drop the better. Frankie Conley and Jack White have been matched tn box twenty rounds before the Pacific Athletic club at Vernon on the afternoon of Friday. May 10. Both boys were knocked out in this same ring by Mexican Joe Rivers, but in the face of these, disasters each lad claims, with a certain degree of truth, that he is still a '‘card." White came to the coast with one of those fancy "Eastern" rec ords. His stock had been boosted bx the fact that Abraham Attell had just “waddled" out of a New Orleans engagement, the natural inference being that the crafty ve- «_ Perry Wins Decision Over Devlin in Hot Ten-Round Battle teran considered the "Chicago Cy clone” too dangerous to experiment with. Jack entered the ring against Rivers with an air of supreme con fidence and a dazzling costume of peacock green. In the opening found he shaped up like a top notcher. and we all settled back in our seats expecting a long and des> perate struggle. A chin shot in the second rounf took all the fight out of the Chi ( agoan After this point his fin* ish was a mere matter of gamenefeit From a loser's chair Jack shoo> hands with Rivers and frankly ad. mltfed that he had been beaten by a better man. He made no ex« cuses whatever except to say th'-* but for the jaw jolt In the second he would hat e put up a better fight. This manly stand won him many friends, and immediately there was a demand that Jack be sent back into the Los Angeles ring for an other trial. Frankie Conley was waiting to box anybody, from Abe Attell to Jack Johnson,
