RECRUDESCENCE OF SWATS
GIVES ATLANTA A VICTORY
By PERCY H. WHITING.
fipcelnl Correspondence.
Memphis. Tent!., Aug. 51.—By clouting the ball In terrific fashion, the crippled
Atlanta team won out In n go-as-you-please match Monday afternoon, getting
Seven runs to Memphis' five.
There was not much baseball to the contest, but the all redeeming feature was
thut the prodigal sons lambasted victory out of apparent defeat.
From the very start. Sylvester trucks was an open Iraok to the Atlanta hatsinen,
but the ninny hits he yielded didn't produce so very many rims.
The score was 3 to 2 In favor of Atinntn when, with two down In the fifth.
Morse muffed Pinas' pop fly. That put everylHsly up In the nlr, mid two hits fol
lowed. tilling the Isises. Then Nlcholls smashed one to left for two bags, mid throe
ruus came In.
It Iragnn to t«M»k blue for Atlan9i. but In the seventh the Smithies lit Into
Dunks like a ton o' brick, and scored three runs, lilts by Smith and Morse, nil
error by Loncks, a fly and a single by Kvers contributed the inaterlnl for the
runs.
A bunch of hits gave Atinntn her final run.
The elmnge lit Atlnntn'a line up scorned to ilo good. Hid Smith caught n good
gatne. while Hoffman didn't have a fielding chance nt third. Evers took care
of centerfleld, and got a tlm *y hit.
There was only a small crowd present, and from It cniuv a lot of rooting for At
lanta.
The score:
