Haturday afternoon's game will again be
called at 3 o'clock Instead of 4. This will
lie done to allow the Atlanta team to catch
n train for Hhreveport, where they are duo
to play Sunday.
In order to have a pitcher In good* condi
tion for the game Hnnday and not tired to
death by the long ride from Atlanta to
Hhreveport, Manager Smith will probably
ship one out of Atlanta Friday night and
give him plenty of time to rest up liefore
the bard contest Sunday. Just which pitcher
will go will be decided later.

Now. If Monday’s (tame had hrrn copped
hy New Orleans In just the Mime fa.lilon
tbit Atlanta won. we should oil have been
unanimous In animadverting philosophically
on liaBolinll luck. Aa It la. we point with
pride to the superior work In a pinch of
Billy Smith's climbers.
Really, It did look very much ns though
the wealthy onea outplayed tho Flrceraek-
era, except when erlaea came. Then they
fell down before the Impenetrable defense
of the locnla.
Atlanta got only one clean hit oft Whiter
(lueae, tho other two being the veriest
scratches. The smiling twlrler had perfect
control, too. On the other hand, Ilube
Zeller was tapped for six safeties and gave
two bases on Imlls, each nt a critical mo
ment. However, three of the bits the Pel
icans got were duo to ltobo’a weakness In
fielding hunts.
The only run nf the game arrived In the
eighth. Cnp'n Otto opened up with a neat
drive to right for oue sack. Archer flsslud
trying to bunt, and then struck oat. Zeller
drove one to O'Brien,' who made n clever
pleknp, hut threw Imdly to second, both
hands lietng safe. Dickie Crosier then
wafted a wobbly little grounder past Car
go, Juat nut of hla reach, nnd Jordan came
home. Winters and 8. Hmlth were easy
onto.
In the fourth It looked like a forlorn
hope. Blake opened np hy patting one |9t
Zeller. It went for a single, hut Itubo
should have gobbled It up. Four kail,
sent "Poach" Knoll to BiNt and Erv#
Back bunted to Itube, who again let tbe
sphere (Uda Safe. Basra fall; nobody oat.
Ore, but It looked hectic. The Atlanta In-
Held drew In right under Bird's nose, every
man white as s sheet,
of encouragement to —
"(let It over, ltulie!" shouted 8Id Smith.
"Make ’urn hid It, ltupc," grunted,
Whltey Morse.
Anil "Work hard,” chimed Otto Jordan
and Jim Fox. .
