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. The score: ATLANTA— Winters, rf. . Crosier, If. .

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.

"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."

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.
