THE FIRST GAME GOES TO ATLANTA BY SCORE OF 3 T01 O’BRIEN MAY DODGE TRIP THE GREAT CY SEYMOUR By a little wild throwing In the aec- ong 'inning the Pirate* dropped the flr*t game of Wednesday’* double- header to Atlanta at the rate of 3 to 1. The bunching of error* by the Shreve port Inflelder* turned the trick without the trouble of hitting. The pitching of Zeller and Fl*her was about of a whatne**, but Zeller got by far the better of the support. Jim Fox'e two-bagger wa* responnlble for the Ncoring of Hoffman In the seventh In ning. giving Atlanta margin enough to keep them from working too hard. Score: San Francisco, Sept. 12.—Jack O’Brien, the Philadelphia fighter, who lay* eluini to the championship title on the Mtrengtb of his defeat of Boh Fjtziduiuions, arrived In Sap Francisco last night, cn route to Australia, where he Is to box Bill Hqutres, the best of the Antipodean big men. The steamer- on which O’Brien propose* to take passage sails Thursday, but It Is Just possible that Jack may not make the Journey. It all deiiends upon what develops when ho hss a conference with the local fight trust today. If O'Brien secures a match with Sam Berger, Al Kaufman. Tommy Burns, or, lu fact, any one In the heavy weight rlass, he will postpone his departure to the Australian colonies. O’Brien prefers Berger to nny of the heavyweights, but thinks that Huniuel is lu- ellned to dodge the Issue. Hers is « snap shot of Cy Sey mour, once the famous pitcher for the New York National^, later a member of the Cincinnati te..m, and this year bought back during the middle of the season for $10,- 000, to play In the outfield for tho Giants. Since returning to hie old teem Seymour hat been batting well. Total* Shreveport. Evans. 2b. .. Kennedy, rf, Abateln. lb. . T. Smith. **. Daley, If. King, of. lie**, 3b. . Graffiti*, c. Fisher, p.

Hughe* I* one of the few pitcher* In the league who will go to the utnjprs for hi* fall try-out lu first-class shape. If he does not make good, then a lot of people In Atlanta will lulaa their guess. Hughe* has speed, control nnd' a good head. Also he has other thing* In the way of wide curves, s nice drop ball and n fair change of puce. Hut the first bunch I* the no that counts, especially tho good head part of It. ** Nothing rnttles Tom. He I* always on hand with the licst lu the shop, and It ninkes no difference how much the fans yell or how pickled I* the support, keep* right on speeding ’em over and do ing III* l*e*t. Hughe* may not Jump right Into the po sition of Clark Griffith’s lending pitcher, but he will certainly prove n valuable nun, and If he Improves for a couple of year* the way he inis this summer he will go clear to the top. lug bo hod made a two-bagger. "Wbltey" was on hand at second base his arrival to call the bluff. It was a Joke to see Crosier racing home ahead of the throw-In during the fourth Inning of the second game. He won vaslly, keeping 5 feet ahead of the ball most of the way. Odd double* are coming up quite fre quently of late. Tuesday there was one from catcher to first baseman. Hid Smith caught Hess’ foul fly and then threw to Fox, who tagged King several feet first. | League Standings j Scramble For Second Place Is Still on in Dead Earnest Billy Smith will be a disappointed man unless the Crackers win both games Wednesday. "This is my birthday and I think that the boys ought to w-ln a couple of games. Just by way of a celebration.' said Manager Bill Wednesday morning. Manager Bill was asked how old he was on this happy occasion and right about that time Manager Smith began to talk about the weather. The question of whether or not -a double-header will be played with New Orleans.will be decided largely by the result of Wednesday's games. If At lanta wins both games the chance for the second place will be fairly good, and Manager Smith will try a double- header. If Atlanta loses Wednesday then only one game a day goes for the New Orleans series. Just at present the race for second place stands; Memphis—Won 75. lost 54. Atlanta—Won 75, lost 65. Atlanta has six games left to play. Including Wednesday’s double-heart., and provided a double-header i„ with New Orleans. 1 •“ Just how many games Memphis h.. Is not certain, but probably only fl v « So if Atlanta- wins four out „f games, which ought to be easy Memphis loses three out of the five™ which seems more than probable .» lanta will go to second place. ' These things may easily happen anrt If they do then Atlanta will finish th. season In second place and the plav.r. will get the 11,000 bonus by the mar gin of .003. But .003 Is plenty when It comes to winning. An eyelash victory i s ,, good as any other kind, and much mor. exciting. ■I'm not going to play baseball next year,” said Jim Fox, "but don't notice that. I say It every fall, nnil every spring I report about three day. ahead of time. When the sun comes out good and warm every spring and the w r d, begin to* sing I start for the railroad station, with a bat In one hand and a uniform In the other.” Clubs— Birmingham .

No, If tho great Glen’s arm has not been ruined by overwork he Is pretty certain to stick with the majors. Certainly he ranks well with any of the pitchers seut out of the Southern In many years. Rumor has it that Jimmy Collins, the de posed manager of the Boston Americans, Is to play third base for Philadelphia Ameri can* next year. Since Lave Cross departed Connie Mack has dallied with Artie Brouth- ers, Knight, Oldrlng and Lennox nnd all of them have been sad disappointments. If Jimmy Collins goes to Philadelphia ho will be team captain.
