10 to 5, in the first game of
' the series here vesterday.
The defeat broke the Crackers’ win
ning streak of six straight games.
Frank’s men started after young Dick
Kerr, diminutive left hander, as if
they intended to force Mgriarity to
name an Immediate successor. Mec-
Donald, first up, started the fireworks
with. a three-base hit. He tarried at
third just long enough for Sammy
Mayer to get set for a single, and Tex
registered with the first run of the
game
The Chicks, howevar, with a rear
ranged batting order also had their
batting eyes trimmed, plus a determi
nation to keep intact a perfectly good
winning streak. Accordingly, they
Jumped onto Ed Lafitte without loss
of time. Kelly, first up, cracked out
a double. With the Cracker infield
expecting a bunt, Hemingway also
doubled, and just to keep up interest,
Knisely donated two sacks and scored
later. This totaled three runs for the
home boys.
- - -
IN the third the Chicks added two
more. Knisely hit for two bases,
Paulette did the same, scoring Knise
ly. Gene crossed tte plate on Walsh's
single. Atlanta put over two in their
half of the sixth. Rridwell singled,
McDonald doubled, and Mayer again
came through with a pinch hit, reg
istering Bridwell and MecDonald.
Lennox followed with a long fily to
left, and Mayer was caught trying to
make third.
- . -
THE Chicks got those two right
back. Grimes walked, Kerr sing
led. Hemingway doubled, scoring
Grimes and Kerr. In the seventh the
slugging bee continued. Lafitte
“'singled, and Moran put one over the
fence for two more. In the Chicks’
half Paulette singled and scored when
Moriarity doubled. Walsh sacrificed,
and Moriarity secored on a wild piteh.
The final run was made by Memphis
in the eighth. Hemingway walked.
Knisely sacrificed, and on the hit and
run play Hemingway scored on
Walsh's single.

MORIARITY'S men have now won
six straight games. Howard

By Harry Lewis.
HARLIE WHITE, Chicago’s
wonderful left-hooker, is go
ing to peddls his ring wares
in Milwaukee tonight, when he 4n
counters Ritchie Mitehell, Milwau
kse's greatest lightweight, in Tom
Andrews' spacious arena in' the Beer
town.
Mitchell's followers in the Brewer
City are said to be willing to risk 41l
the money that they can lay their
)hands on that White won't flatten out
itholr favorite 133-pounder this
evening, which means that plenty of
money is going to change hands on
| the outcome of tonight's mill.
Milwaukee has long been White's
hoodoo town, despite the fact that
it was there that White came near
stopping Willle Ritchie when the lat
ter was champion. However, White
did not show any too much in his
scraps against Matt Wells and Fred
‘die Welsh in the Wisconsin capital.
‘- » -
‘THE White-Mitchell go is strictly a
(?hicagod]ilu;aukee match. Hun
)
‘dreds of Chicago boxing fans usually
ilmade Milwaukee when a big match
is staged there, ‘and these same foi
lowers from the “Windy City” are
sure to be there this evening, as
Charlie is a Chicago boy.
This will be White’s last bout be
fore he leaves for Buenoes Aires, on
June 17, where he is billed to tackile
Freddie Welsh in a long battle for
the lightweight championship of the
world some time later. Milwaukee
critics have been loud in their clamor
for Mitchell to get the first big Welsh
match, and should Ritchie win to
night, Charlie will find himself in an
awful mess.
. - .
TONIGHTS bout is a great test for
Mitchell, who has fought such
stars s Johnny Dundee, Ad Wolgast,
Joe Rivers and Johnny Kilbane, but
we hardly think he is good enough to
win over the famous Chicago battier,
who is now reported to be at his
very best.

~ Tex MeDonald is l!‘uat about cinching a
regular berth for himself by nis great
‘hitting since he replacad Frank Thrash
er in right field for the Crackers, when
the latter .injured his leg. Tex rapped
out four safe drives yesterday.
__Reporta from Watkinsville, Ga.,
Thrasher’s home town, state that Frank
will join the Crackers when Frank's men
reach Nashville after their series with
the Chicks. Thrasher will Probably iake
his old place in rlght field, with Me-
Donald n?d Moran fighting it out for a
’berth in the left garden.
The Chicks have now won six .tralxht
games. The Crackers will have a fine
chance to get revenge for vesterday’s
defeat, when Moriarty's men stopped the
locals after they had reached six, consec
utive victories. .
It might be a good hint for the man
agement of the clubs in the K Southern
League to keep a close watch on those
Lookouts. After taking three out of
four from the Champion Pels, the
'Nooga team yesterday routed the Gulls
in the first game of their series.
Ray Caldwell is not proving the de
mon for the Yanks this season that he
was expected to. Yesterday the Ath
letics downed Donavon's men with Ray
pitching, 5 to 0.
The Braves bobbed up yesterday and
copped a pair from the Dodgers. Stali
ings’ aggregation had little trouble win
ning the first battle, 6 to 1, but they
waited until the final inning to cor the
second contest, 2 to 1 Both of the
Braves' runs were scored off Coombs in
the last session.
Morlarty made a wise move when he
took Paulet and Hemingway from the
outfleld and placed them around the in
ner works. There are very few first
sackers in minor league circles that
have anything on Paulet, while Heming
way cgn take care of his own at either
short or third.
The Red Sox chalked up another viec
tory vesterday, when they took the
Senitors into camp, 1 to ¢, with the
‘firul Walter Jobnson pitching. ‘“Babe’

LAFITTE'S REVERSAL OF
FORM PROBLEMTO FANS
Old Doe Pitches Shut-Outs Against Heavy Hit
ters, Gets Bombarded by Memphis Weaklings.
Moriarty Making Fine Showing With Chicks,
By Fuzzy Woodruff.
OMMUC .7 courtesy called on the
( Crackers to crack their win
*~ ning streak. They had won
six games in a row, which is enough
for any self-respecting ball club to
gather in—the New York Giants to
the contrary. On the other paw, the
Memphii had won five straights,
Somebody had to lose vesterday's
affair.. The duty of guest to host put
it up to the Crackers.
And still the defeat was surprising,
Old Doc Lafitte had pitched shut-out
ball on his last two starts, which were
against the Nashville and Little Rock
organizations, decidedly more for
midable than the Chick outfit, ac
cording to eur way of thinking. But
he was pummeled for fifteen hits and
enough runs to tax the capacity of an
adding machine by the minions of
Moriarty. All of which shows that
you never can tell in baseball, which
remark is bromidic enough to have
emanated from the rooter who yells
“Win your own game” every time the
pitcher comes to bat.
Still, there is balm in Gilead, even
if there is no beer in Atlanta, partic
ularly after a day's entertainment of
the Shriner hosts. The Cracker at
tack was sustained in all its pristine
fury, the only .trouble being that the
Memphis counter was just a bit more
severe. ‘
However, a new day has dawned,
with the same teams taking the field,
and there is every likelihood of a new .
result with the new day. ¢ |

He made few enough changes in his

way, 18 the same thing) in his ath

If he makes'a decent showing with

achieved a baseball record of which
