Crosier stole home twjce and Jordan
twice successively swiped second and
third.
Allen, recently of Waycross, who re
lieved Keith in the second, pitched ex
cellent baseball.
Zeller hel'd the Little Rock team safe
at all times. •
Jordan was put out of the game for
lucking. Here's the box score:

Shifts Are Made by Both
B. Smith and Chief Zimmer
Owing to the 2 Inches, and then
some, of water which fell upon
Atlanta Tuesday morning, the diamond
at Piedmont Park was slightly to the
Atlantic by 4 o'clock and the contest
scheduled between Atlanta and Little
Rock was declared off until some later
date.
Which was very unfortunate, for Lit
tle Rock needed the money.
Just to keep up the Interest, both the
Atlanta and Little Rock managers did
a little business.
Manager Zimmer sent for Allen, the
Wayoross pitcher, and that worthy re
ported Wednesday morning. Even with
this new man Zimmer Is still safely
Inside the limit without releasing any
one.
Zimmer also traded Cy Watt to New
Orleans for Bird, the outfielder. This
trade Is rather hung up, however, by
the refusal of Watt to go to New Or
leans. Just why he objects Is not
stated, for New Orleans would seem
rather a pleasanter berth than Little
Rock, but Cy has been with the team
which represents the City op Roses for
a number of years, and It may pull hla
heart strings to leave.
To local fans there seems something
mysterious In the fact that Zimmer,
who Is hard up for pitchers, and who
has been In sad need of them all this
season, should let his best man go to
New Orleans right In the middle of the
season, when the race for the pennant
•vneuu. n urn tuo IULO
4s really warming up.
Some few claim to see the all-pow
erful Influence of Charley Frank behind
this deal and cite It as another evid
ence of Frank's ability to get any man
he needs or any concession he wants
from Little Rock, Shreveport and
Memphis.
An effort was made by Billy Smith
to arrange for a ladles' day Wednes
day, because It rained on Tuesday, but
Manager Zimmer could not see It that
way, and the next one will probably be
on Friday as usual, though Thursday
may be decided. '
Manager Smith Is In doubt whether
to ptay the postponed game with Mem
phis during this coming series or to
put It oft until September, when the
Hustlers will be here again. It Is
likely, however, that he will try to play
It Friday and get It out of the way.
Like all Managers, Billy Smith does
not care to pile up too many games to
bo decided at the end of the season.
And then he needs the games, and
Memphis ought to furnish them.
Manager Smith Is trying to arrange
a game which the children of the Jew
ish Orphanage can witness free of
charge, but thus far he has been un
successful. Later, however—perhaps
during the Memphis series—he will
give the children a treat.
Jack Evers has been reinstated and
Brown has been turned adrift.
