RECRUDESCENCE OF SWATS
GIVES ATLANTA A VICTORY
# By PERCY H. WHITING.
Special Correspondence.
Memphis. Tenn., Aug. SI.—By clouting the bnll In terrific fashion, the crippled
Atlanta team won out In a go ns-you-plense match Monday afternoon, getting
•even runs to Memphis' five.
There was not much baseball to the contest, but the all redeeming fpnture was
that the prodigal sons lambnated. victory out of apparent defeat.
From the very start, Hylvester Loueks was an open l*ook to the Atlnntu batsmen,
but the many hits he yielded didn’t produce so very many runs.
The score was 3 to 2 III favor of Atlanta when, with two down In the fifth,
Morse muffed IMass’ pop fly. That put every I »ody up In the air, and two hits fol
lowed, filling the bases. Then Nlcholla smashed one to left for two twigs, nnd three
runs came In.
It liegnn to look blue for AtlanAi. but In the seventy the Hmlthles lit Into
Ismcks like a ton o’ brick, nnd scored three runs, lilts by Smith and Morse, an
error by Loueks, u fly nnd a single by I'vers contributed the material for the
runs.
A bunch of lilts gave Atlanta her final run.
The change In Atlanta's line up sceiued to do good. Hid Smith caught a good
game, while Hoffman didn’t have a fielding chance at third. Ever* took cure
Of cputerfleld, and got a tlm ‘y hit.
There wns only a small crowd present, nnd from It came u lot of rooting for At
lanta.

8pectal Correspondence.
Memphis, Jenn.. Aug. 20.—No more Jobs
In Nasbrllle for Mike Finn.
"I wouldn't go back there If they would
give me the team," said Mike, before he
left Memphis fur Little Rock. "and. by
the same token, I guess they wouldn’t
have me If I worked free."
On the other band, Mike dentes absolute
ly that ho Is slated for Little Rock next
year. "No deal has lieen closed," said
Mike, "and I don’t know anything about
It. It was Just a newspaper story."
Mike denies also that hp knows anything
almut the deni whereby Hilbert Went to
Little Bock.
"The Ismrd of dtty*ctopi did It," said
Mike, "and r didn't know nnythlng about
It until It wns all over."
"Ami thou they roasted me for helping
Little Mock.
"And now," walled Mike, *TH get the
hlnnie for this Castro deal. As a matter
of fact, if wns decided by the stockhold
er the association, nnd I did not know

But yet. everybody will say that I
did It to hell* Vaughnu. And yet, they
all ought to know bow I love Vaughan."
Mike also scouted the story that Abbn-
By PERCY WHITING.
tlcehlo would be In Nashville ns manager.
"Bo you think the Boston Nationals are
going to give him away—when he Is worth
15.000? And do you think he Is going to
Nashville when the New York Natlouatf
and practically every other hfg league
team luis put In a bid for him? Not
AbhyJ Why, that story Is the most foolish
one that (ms been published fn the league
since It wns organized."
Mike Imparted some additional Informa
tion as to the Sorrell mix-up. ’ It aeema
that Billy Smith closed a deal with the
l*onrd of directors of the tint* for Sor
rell, nnd the day after Finn sold the pitch
er to Augusta. In some way. the den!
missed fire -at l*oth barrels, for neither
team seems to have the pitcher, and he la
not with Nashville.
It Is the general opinion here, by the
way, that Castro will come back to the
Nashville team at the end of the season.
It looks ns though Birmingham offered
a 'good piece of money for him, -slid ns
though Nashville plrk«*d It un with the con
dition that It wns to have Castro hack at
the tiegluulng' of next season.
Is certain that New Orleans and
Memphis will put up a big kick on this
deal.

Augusta, Ga., Aug. 21.—By Savannah’s

pennant.
*Tluf locals hare five more games this
week at home. Hnvnnnnh hna three more
gnmes on the road, and then goes home.
The team has three more games with Mu-
eon, and unless the Chumps are able to do
something with them, the locals will be
lost.
If the locals win all of the games from
uoir to the end of the sessou, and the Colts
xrly all of the games, the records will bei
Won. Lost. P. C.

This will boat the locals. It Is true,
however, that the locals have three eerfea
at home, and the Colts have only one.
Knvnminh has five games hi Jacksonville,
the Inst series of the amosoii. and It Is be
lieved thnt the team will l*e able to laud
nil of them. Augusta plays Columbia to
day and tomorrow, and CUnrlentou the
last three days of the week. Tho team
then gc»es to Jneksonvllle nnd plays a
series of three gnmes, returning to play
the last series with Macon.
From the present figuring. It nppenre
that the locals have lost the pennant, al-
though there may be something disastrous
happen to the Havannnh bunch.
