Few Crackers Who Invaded 'Nooga May 2 Take Part in Second Invasion
SERIES THAT BEGINS TOMORROW IS FOR BLOOD
By. Percy H. Whiting.
THOSE traditional enemies,
the Atlanta and Chatta
nooga ball clubs, will get to

series of games that should he a
good bit warmer than anything In
the recent past
The . last time the Crackers

aged to get two decisions and a tie
with their opponents
This time the Atlantans have a
decidedly stronger team. But so
have the Lookouts.
One advantage the Tz>okmV s
have is the posesession on the line
up of fonr men who bear a chronic,
dislike for the Atlanta club Two
of them are deposed Atlanta man
agers, Bill Smltih and Otto Jordan.
The other two are deposed Atlanta
players, Roy Moran and Paul Son
tell. The way these four 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
Charley Hemphill is leading against
the Lookouts this time, not by
considerable. The new Cracker,
from Spartanburg. Harbison, looks
a wonder. He is certainly a good
bit stronger than any man who has
ever played the position for the
Crackers this year McElveen has

Crackers and Volunteers Clash in Another Double-Header
ATKINS AND SITTON WILL DO HURLING TODAY
Nashville, tenn.. June is.—
Atkins and Sitton will do the
hurling for the Crackers in
the double-header scheduled here
today, and as both are in tip-top
condition, Manager Charley Hemp
hill is confident of winning both
battles.
Charley Hemphill alleged that he
was working his “sore arm" bri
gade in the pitcher’s box yester
day. He 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 the'y 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 Russell, 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
