Whiting. (I T F we loss today I know what’s | the matter with ua,” said Charley Hemphill before yes terday’s 3-4 defeat, “it’s heratiee w need more worflc Some team* do better with ocoaaional rests, but the Atlanta team thle year needs seven frames a week, every week, to keep In shape. We have pitch ers who need work to be good. The bad weather lately has kept ns from getting right." This Is offered as the Extenuat ing C’irrnmsta.no*, which Is anoth er title for our old friend. Colonel A. N. Alibi. The Cradcerx lost, but they lost a good game, a corking game as far as fielding stunts went. The Peli can fielders went “plum crazy" and nul’ed stuff that ought to land them in Milledgeville Spencer, for ex ample. went twice up the right field bank after balls, and once he f.ji down, balanced on one shoul der. caught the ball, rolled over dovn the bank, but HELD THE BALL. Any team Is hard to beat when It Is going like that, but 1t Is especial ly hard to stop when It has a pitch er working as Ducky Swann was working yesterday. This lad. who is as old as he Is small, and ae con fident as he !s old. had the Crack ers feeding from his mitt. Maybe 1t was the old “pygmy pitcher hoodoo." varnished up and put in running order for the IJI2 eeaeon. In years past the Crack ers could drub the big guys, and the bigger they were the hander they fell: but the little ones were jinks Gordon Hickman, no bigger than a eels-respecting flea, used to make the Crackers look like jokes And now along comes Swann, who 1s little larger than Hickman and probably a good Mt older, and be hands the locals some of the old-time etuft The Crackers sent their smallest pitcher. Tommy Atkina, against the but It was of no avail. Atkins pitched a first-class game If ft had not been for one error he would have held Frank's men to two runs, and that’s surelv all you ean reasonably ask of a pitcher. It has been Tommy’s curse for years that hie teams wouldn't make any runs for him and the hoodoo seems Still to hover ever his head. * • • T T seemed odd not to see Mana ager Hemphill in the game. The manager explains hie absence from the line-up as follows: "vv hat chance have T got to break In. with al! of them hitting the way they are? I oan’t afford to break up a good combination. Besides, 1 want to give Far! Sykes some work. What good Is a utility man If he doesn’t get a chance to do something now and then? They are all doing all right and I may stay out several days.” That’s what Hemphill says MONEY TO 10 Al ON DIAMONDS AND JEWELRY 8 tri ct lr confidential. Unredeemed pledge* diamonds for sale.

Then came Illustrious Potentate John Hynds, who threw the first ball. And tie It said, to the lasting honor of Illustrious Potentate Hynds, he threw a vastly better first ball than th* average By no stretch of imagination could an umpire have called It a strike—if Johnston hadn’t obliging ly hit at it It wasn’t even near But it didn’t roll along the ground, nor did it sail over the catcher’s head, which was out of the ordi nary.

First some one questioned the sobriety of Umpire McKee Then came a fisticuff between the umpire and Owner Bleckley, of the Tulsa club Umps McKee came out second best, but had sufficiently re covered when Manager Gardner, of the Okmulgee team, who is under suspension and -who, McKee alleges, assaulted him after yesterday's game, came on the field to engage him in battle. At this stage spectators swarmed on the field, and Mc- Kee was carried bodily into the dressing room under the grandstand, where two Okmulgeeans acted as his opponents in bout No. 3 In the absence of the umpire, two spec tators were selected as umpires, and the game started. It had not progressed far. however, before McKee was on the field again, and exchanging blows with Man ager Price, of Tulsa This fray was at its height when Shortstop Black, of Ok mulgee, fainted Four policemen put an end to hostili ties by arresting McKee. Tulsa won the . game. 4 to 1 HORRINE CLEARS BAR AT 6 FL 8 1-4 INCHES NEW YORK, June 6—George Hor rlne, the Stanford university athlete who is here practicing for the interna- J tional Olympic games, today expressed the opinion that he would be able to duplicate the record-breaking high jump which he accomplished yesterday , at Travers Island in a tryout when he I leaped over a bar 6 feet 8 1-4 inches above the earth.

June 6.-—At a meet ing of the stockholders and directors of the Danville Athletic duh it was unan imously decided last night to surren der the franchise. The franchise was turned over to J. O. Boatwright, president of the league, who will endeavor to place it with Suf folk. The team left here last night to play at Petersburg, according to schedule, and will continue to play until some city is found to take it. Baseball in this city has been a losing proposition since the beginning of the season and latterly, with constant re verses and poor gate receipts, it. be came apparent that the local club could not. weather the storm.
