EMPHIS, TENN., June 2.—The
M Crackers lost to the Chicks,
10 to 5, in the first game of
the series here yesterday. :
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 Moriarity 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, however, with a rear
ranged batting order also had thelr!
Jbatting eyes trimmed, plus a determi
. hation 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 the plate on Walsh's
single. Atlanta put over two in their
half of the sixth. Bridwell singled,
McDonald doubled, and Mayer again
came through with a pinch hit, reg
istering Bridwell and McDonald. |
Lennox followed with a long fly to
left, and Mayer was caught trying to
make third. |
.-.- J
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 scored 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
Merritt, another southpaw, will prob
ably try to make it seven in a row
this afternoon. Ad Brennan will like
ly hurl for the visitors.

Chicago’s Famous Left Hooker
Takes on Richie Mitchell in
Milwaukee Ring—Welsh Next.
C. White Rules 10-to-7
Favorite Over Mitchell {
MILWAUKEE, WIS, June 2— ¢
l Charlie White has been made a
‘ 10 to 7 favorite over Richie Mitch
| ell, the local lad, for their ten
round bout here tonight.
A large delegation of Chicago
fans are already here to witness
the contest. More are expected to
arrive throughout the day on in
coming trains, |
| By Harry Lewis. |
| HARLIE WHITE, Chicago’si
| wonderful left-hooker, is 80~
| ing to peddle his ring wares
in Milwaukee tonight, when he en-‘
‘counters Ritchie Mitchell, 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 all
the money that they ¢an lay their
hands on that White won't flatten out
their favorite 133-pounder this
evening, which means that plenty oti
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 Ritchis 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‘
Chicago-Milwatikee match, Hun- |
dreds of Chicago boxing fans usua.lly“
Invade Milwaukee when a big ma.tch‘
Is staged there, and these same fol
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 Bpenoes Aires, on
June 17, where he is billed to tackle
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.
-- - ‘
Tomonrs bout {s a great test for
Mitchell, who has fought such
stars as 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 hu‘
very best. |

Tex McDonald Is dufl about cinching a
regular berth for himself by nis great
hitting since he replaced Frank Thrash
er in right fieli for the Crackers, when
the latter injured his leg. Tex rapped
out four safe drives yesterday.
Reports from Watkinsville, Ga.,
Thrasher’s home town, state that Frank
will join the Crackers when Frank's men
reach Nashville after their series with
ithe Chicks. Thrasher will Probably take
his old place in rlght field, with Mec-
Donuld and Moran fighting it out for a
’benh in the left garden.
- The Chicks have now won six .tr-lxht
games. The Crackers will have a fine
chance to get revenge for yesterday's
defeat, when Morlarty's men stopped tha
locals after they had reached six consec
utlve victories.
L R ml?ht be a good hint for the man-.
agement of the clubs in the Southern

Lookouts. After taking three out of
four from the Champion Pels, the
'Nooga team yesterday routed the Guills
in the first game of their series.
Ray Caldwell is not proving the de
mon for the Yanks this season that he

Old Doc Pitches Shut-Outs Against Heavy Hit-,

Moriarty Making Fine Showing With Chicks.
By Fuzzy Woodruff.
OMMON 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 eclub to
gather in—the New York Glants 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, decldedly more for
midable than the Chick outfit, ac
cording to our 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 i{s 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 has achieved the impossible. He

shot to pieces through a meddling di

He made few enough changes in his
battle front, but he instilled a win

way, is the same thing) in his ath

through.
If he makes a decent showing with
the Chicks this year, he will have
