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.

R<dding allowed three hits. ~ml !<sued two pa-srs. but hid two .strikes on each of these five batters. The catching staff now numbers Donahue and Graham; then it numbered Kerr and Graham. The pitching staff now boasts Russell, Grady, Dessau. Atkins and Sitton. Then It numbered Dessau, Atkins. Sitton. Paige, Johns. Hogue and Miller. Nine of the players w'ho were with the Crackers when it opened in Chattanooga May 2 are not on the line-up now. Eight have been canned or traded. Os the first seven men in the batting order only two occupy now the positions they had then. Those are Bailey, who sticks as lead-off man. and Alperman. now (as then) batting in fourth position. One thing this means is that the Crackers are Invading Chattanoo ga with a new and a more lively line-up 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.

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 33J% Discount on Men’s Fine Clothing 'll IL. m .

Mana ger Hemphill can hardly wait un til it is Russell’s turn again, so anxious is he to see if Russell can keep that clip or if he is gqing to blow again. The first game yesterday was a grizzly for excitement. It was tied until the first of the eleventh.
