line-up will remain the same as
yesterday
That the Crackers are likely to
hammer the very head off any
pitcher was well demonstrated here
yesterday when the Atlantans lit
into Roy Radabaugh with as little
consideration as though he had
been a full-sized pitcher and en
titled to a drubbing The little
Billiken was putting 'em across
just the way the Crackers wanted
them. He was not trying to. but
that didn’t make much difference,
for the results were the same. The
Atlantans piled up 13- hits for 22
bases and scored 9 runs.
Frank Dessau pitched another
good game and it was the verdict
of the Crackers after the contest
that the right-hander who had been
in uncertain condition for so long
has come to life at last He gave
up five singles, and didn’t walk a
man. He would have had a shut
out if East hadn't made a sloppy
play.
