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.
