Buckley says he only consigned Fisher to
warmer regions, which—In baseball lan
guage—la positively lady like talk.
Atlanta's winning run nrrlred by tbe nar
rowest of margins, am! after Crosier, the
man who made It, bad been called out by
ottbe umpires. Dlckcy strayed rather
fnr off aecond base and Buchanan throw
there and Castro tagged tho Atlanta run
ner. Fortunately, however, Buckley de
cided that Uucluutan had balked and ad-
vanced Crosier to third, from where he
scored on Winters' lengthy fly.

Finn aVl Buckley had a busy little ren
in during tbe early part off tho gamo. No
body knew Just what It about except
the principals, but they stood np and told
etch other funny stories for several min
utea.
Buchanan had a great change* of pace
and the way the Crackers "fell for" some
of his flow lobs wae amusing, especially ns
Atlanta waa In the lead and hitting did not
matter much.
Miller and Janalng both achieved tbe
remarkable feat of putting tbe ball over
Fox's bred and yet dropping It safely In
fair territory. It certainly takes u high
one to get by James.
When Zeller bit Wells In tho eighth In*
nlng it sent Nashville’s kid-catcher spin
nlng. He whirled around a couple of times
and then fell about sixteen feet through
the mud. \Yhen he picked himself up sod
untangled be found fie was not much hurt.
Hhuster, tho now famous rohber-umpli _.
claims that ho has been In baseball fifteen
years. In one capacity or another,
started out as a player and claims that
he worked four times across tbe continent
—whether under a freight car or not be
did not specify. Four years ago be wnx
on the knee by a pitched ball aud ■
then be bae been umpiring.
