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.

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. . Well, who couldn’t pitch ball with four such men behind him? one to Jut-dsn, who nonchalantly nnldi It and tossed It to Jeenis Anker, make nut nt toe piste, the liases full, only down, nud the eelelirati-d Mr. O'Brien the bat.
