Whiting. THOSE traditional enemies, the Atlanta and Chatta nooga ball clubs, " ill get to gether Wednesday afternoon in a Kerles of games that should be a good bit warmer than antthing in the recent past. The last time the < 'rankers stormed old Lookout they man aged to get two decisions and a tie with their opponents. This lime the Atlantans have a decidedly stronger team. Hut so have the Lookouts. One advantage the Lookouts have is the possession on the line up of four men who bear a chronic dislike for the Atlanta club. Two of them are deposed At! mtn man agers. Bill Smith and Otto Jordan The other two are deposed Atlanta plavers. Roy Moran and Paul Sen tell. The way these foui hate the Cracker club is beautiful to con template. What they will do to the Crackers, if circumstances and the opposition permit, will be harrow ing In the extreme. It isn’t any team of misfits that Charfey Hemphill is leading against the Lookouts this time, not by considerable. The new <’racket , fiom Spartanburg, Harbison, looks a wonder. He is certainly a good bit stronger than any man who lias ever played the position for the Crackers this year.

One thing this means is that the Cradjers are Invading Chattanoo ga with a new and a more lively IlnesfiP than the old one. The pitchers are stronger for one thing and for another they are in fair condition —which they were not when they were last in Chatta nooga. The Crackers are one of the clubs which have taken In earnest Presi dent O. B. Andrews' boast that the pennant race was between Chatta nooga and Birmingham.

The latest is that Atlantic City will probably' take the Lancaster franchise. • • • Bescher is one of the few ball players who can bat effectively from either side of the plate. In a recent game he made one hit batting right handed, and then, when the opposition switched pitchers, he made another hit left-handed. Sherwood Magee, of the Quakers, and L. Magee, of the Cards, gre not brothers— are not even related, as far as they know. Sherwood Magee ha# a younger brother at Lowell. • • • The. Cubs thought so well of Joe Agler’s services a few weeks ago that they asked $3,500 of the Jersey City club for him. Northern and Daly have played such poor ball for Brooklyn that their days with the Dodgers seem numbered. How the Brooklynites ever got bilked with Daly Is past comprehension. H*rman Schaeffer has announced that thAopening pitchers in the coming world's series will be Walter Johnson and Rube Marquard. Speaking of that, has everybody forgot ten that the American league slapped the National on the elbow last winter and re fused to play 'em any more world's series. It was the fear of outlaw ball that got the two leagues together. Now that the outlaw scheme has fizzled so gorgeously the two big leagues will get chestler than ever and will probably pull a fight by next winter—if not sooner. • • • Well, anyhow, nobody can allege that the National league race is fixed. • • • Patience and Liesure, the former a sec ond baseman, and the latter a pitcher, are placing for the East Liverpool team They need Lively to put a little zip Into the linft-up.

The other day he broke a thumb for him in batting practice and a couple of days aft erwards he bumped one of Clarke s shins that has kept Clarke limping ever since. Mike Dunlin's wife, Mabel Hite, is re covering and Mike's game is improving proportionately. •’Pitching.'' alleges Rube Marquard, “is like making love. Yet a lot of pitchers have made good at hurling who couldn t make love for sour beans.

Charley Hemphill alleged that he was working his “sore arm'' bri gade in the pitcher’s box yester day. Hq has been announcing that • Russell and Brady weren't very well. He claimed that their arms were sore. After seeing Hemphill’s two in valids work, local fans are of the opinion that, if the rest of the Cracker hurlers are feeling even tolerably well, the Atlanta team will not lose another game this year. And as for today’s double-header —well they have already kissed that good-bye. The revivified Atlanta line-up looked a hummer yesterday. Har bison, the new Infielder from Spar tanburg-in-the-bushes. batted most demoniacally, and his five hits were of the ringing, stinging varie ty. He fielded, well In the first game, but in the second his two er rors came in the same inning. How ever, he took chances and seemed to know how to handle himself. Lefty Ruesell, who made the proverbial March hare look tame as a Welch rarebit the first time he worked for Atlanta pitched a phenomenal game yesterday. In eleven Innings of a bitter struggle he gave up only four hits, walked but one man and made a wild pitch. If "Lefty'” can keep anything like this clip for the remainder of the season he will win more games than ever a pitcher did before in 33J% Discount on Men’s Fine Clothing Our June Clearance Sale of Men’s and Young Men’s Fine Clothing Is Now On Spring and Summer Suits in Cheviots, Cashmeres and Worsteds, in fancy patterns and all Blue and Black unfinish ed Worsted and Serges.
