With two Barons on bases and two out In the sixth Meeks laced out a long one to deep renter. It looked like a two- bagger and the fans gasped, but Wal lace went out under It and pulled it i down In tine style. It took Shreveport twelve Innings to! beat New Orleans, but thank goodness j the Pirates got away with it. Bill : Evans broke the tie by hitting a two- bagger. advancing on a passed bull and j stealing hom.*. Rtockdale lost the first game Tues- j •lay for Memphis to Little Rock and Loucks won the second. Brady was the winning wltcher and Keith the I ioaur. If Atlnntn does not have to go to semi- professions I rnuks before the end of the week to piece out u team then the luck of the Crackers will change In the meantime. Fox Is still out. Ho Is Jordnu. Jim Archer played out the gmue Tuesday under the Influence of strong drugs and It took the courage of a Spartan to pull hh through. When the game ended lie was physical wreck nml It Is doubtful If he on: piny ngnln for h few days. Tuesday night Wallace hsd a hard chill nml n doctor was csllcit In to rare for him. Whether he will round Into shape to piny Wednesday remains to be seen. That puts Atlnntn to the bad for n regu lar catcher, first baseman, second baseman and center fielder. If flint’s not pretty punky luck, then somebody has iiindc 11 wrong guess. Poor old Archer pulled through the game Tuesday iitnler the utmost strain. IBs bad shoulder was In terrible Condition, nnd he should not have gone Into the game under any circumstances. With rare courage, however, he played through to the finish. .lust how Hilly Smith will meet the crisis Is not known, but It looks ns though he would be forced to play some pitchers. The tram Is so crippled nnd patched up now. however, that a change or two can make little difference. FAN TYPE No. 24. ig)H. S/ERV WELU. St X TO nothing : IT MlGjlT »e worse! STUDIES IN EXPRESSION BY CARTOONIST BREWERTON J now and the end of the season. The game had some fast young dou bles in It. Archer got away with one all by himself. Sparks struck out Molesworth the first three times that that nifty batter came up. Remarkable record, that. It takes fancy curves to fool “Moley" three times in succession. The game started off at high speed and the first three Innings were played in 29 minutes. Then the team slowed up a bit*, though the fourth Inning took only 10 minutes. The first five and n half innings were completed within the hour. "It Is not at all Improbable that highly sensational transactions may take place in this league before the close of the season. It Is known that plans now under the surface will cause a quake that will be felt In every city In the association when they are put In operation. The recent letter of Sec retary Arnold, of Atlanta, to President Kavunaugh was the torch that set the powder off, and when the smoke has blown away It Is very probable that certain dub managers nnd dub owners in the association will see the folly of their ways. Just what the letter hand- yesterday by Manager Charles Frank to President Kavanaugh con- MAY QUIT VIRGINIA LEAGUE IN FAVOR OF SOUTH ATLANTIC Special to The Georgian. Portsmouth, Vn., Aug. IS.—The Virginia State League next year tuny not Include Richmond and Norfolk. t There Is a movement on foot to get these two big titles in the South Atlantic. If Atlanta nnd Hlrmlnghnm leave the Southern League, Rlehiiioud nml Norfolk would be wllllug to Join them tu the South A t In lit It* League. M. B. Bradley, owner of the Richmond dOb nml vice-president of the Virginia League, says that the withdrawal of the two clubs will probably be the outeonie of the present situation, if the twq big nlubi of tlie slate get out. then Newport New* ami 1'eferxbitVg will probably Join In. Nat urally then the lenipie will be Hinnllor. Itlehmond lias paid handsomely thla placing to S.ono and l<>,noo talned is probably’ not known by any save Mr. Frank and Mr. Kavanaugh, but those close to the New Orleans club believe that it contains a sensa tional reply to that part of Mr. Ar nold’s letter which reflects on the man agement of the New f Orleans club. Lo cal fans applaud the method of Man ager Frank in giving the reply to the president of the league, Arnold's let ter having been addressed to President Kavanaugh.—New Orleans Item. Let 'er "bust." We will Hee who gets soaked.—Birmingham Ledger. It Is believed in some circles that William M. Kavanaugh will not an nounce for re-election as president of the Southern League next season. It is known that the present presi dent has said that in the event he was not chosen unanimously he would not accept the position. This statement was made following one which contained the Information that he wouldn’t accept the office again. Whether or not President Kavanaugh expects to abide by his latest statement Is not known, but’ it is learned from authentic sources thut there Is a probability that President Kavanaugh w ill not make, the race again.—Birm ingham News.
