Frank Dessau Comes to Life and Crackers Win Contest Is Full of Errors, Fires, Fits and Fun By Percy H. Whiting. r |", HERE'S nothing that cheers ? up a ball game like variety. and nothing, except a variety show, that usually has less. You tan go to ball games sometimes foi years without seeing any thing but hits, runs, errors, great plays and occasionally a free sighs. But yesterday's ball game had stuff to it. It had more side is sues. than a politician has grafts. For one thing a fat man fell down a flight of stairs. Now there isn't anything put on in vaudeville that's any funnier than a fat man skid-, ding down a flight of steps.

It broke out in the bleachers and snapped and crackled like blazes, until the fat man got to it. The firesort of led up to the fat man incident. When the blaze broke the fat man grabbed a fire extinguisher around the waist and rolled down rhe stairs w ith it. He said he alway s went to a fin- that way Also he put it out. Somewhat previous to that one of rhe official Purveyors of Pop, one of the khaki-coated ones, chucked a fit of some subtle sort. And like any small boy who pulls anything sensational he pulled it on the top tow of the bleacher.-. It wasn't, the ideal place for a fit and so the boy bumped down, row after row, un til he got to the bottom, where he BILLIKENS ARE NOT FOR SALE: NOT CHEAP ANYHOW MONTGOMERY. AI.A.. May 21.-- President Charles B. .Tones, of the Montgomery Baseball association, de clares that there is no truth in the reports that a deal is being negotiated to dispose of the Montgomery fran chise to Nashville, thereby letting the Nashville franchise shift to Little Rock He says that the Montgomery Baseball association is not going to sell the Bil liken franchise to anybody, and that Montgomery fandom may rest assured of that. Long before this year's Southern league season began, there were ru mors of a probable disposal of the Montgomery franchise, but the owners of the loca' club have denied that any thing tangible was in sight, although Richard Tillis, who controls the ma- .iority of the stock, admitted at one time that he would take $20,000 for the franchise.

The men just played along and from umpire s an nouncement io last out it consumed only 94 minutes Before it was ovei .1. Dobbs doubtless regretted that he ever let the Montgomery club vole to re instate Frank Dessau. A couple of weeks ago Dessau's arm popped. Frank didn't know what was the matter with it. except that when he tried to curve a hull the blam ed thing wouldn't curve and tin arm hurt like a toothache. So he came back to Atlanta and his le tirement to the ineligible list was announced. Then followed X-ray examinations, plain examinations and fancy examinations. After a bit the atm began to come around and President Callaway asked ibe league for unanimous consent to reinstate Dessau II was given and the man was put back in good standing Dessau celebrated his return by pitching a great game of baseball In the fits', six innings he allowed but a single hit—a single single, TIMERS’ WATCHES MUST HAVE NEEDED MENDING!

Al perman. ti Brien and Graham scored the runs It was a fine in ning and when it was over the game was cinched. The affair was a satisfactory game to Atlanta fans. The team made errors, but it was a ball club every minute. The players took advantage of all opportunities on the bases, hit in the pinches and played a strong defensive game Alperman was the only infielder who escaped an error, but none of the bobbles hurl a bit. Alperman distinguished himself by' stopping with his shins a batted hall that was coming for to carry his legs clear away . The average infielder would have fled to shelter, but Whitey whirled right into it, look the ball full on the shins and then didn't even wince. |NEWS FROM RINGSIDE Johnny Dundee will box ten rounds with Packey Homrney in New York to night. if Dundee is returned the victor he w'HI be matched with Champion John ny Kilbane, the bout to be staged in Gotham some time in the near future. • ♦ • Matt Wells trained Rid Burns for his fight with Mike Gibbons at the Garden Athletic club, New York, tonight.
