Atlanta Captures Opener
From Frank’s False Alarms
ATLANTA 4. NEW ORLEANS 3.
For the fifth time Inside three days Atlanta won a hall game at Piedmont
park Thursday afternoon.
Like so many of the recent games. It started off badly for the Crackers, Hparks,
whose arm has not l»een right of late, was hit quite freely^and dropped out at the
end of the fourth, with the score 3 to 2 Jjj favor of Frank's Frights.
Harley went in to save the day, and Dick’s pitching was of the Class A. va
riety. In the Inst five Innings, New Orleans made Just two hits, and not a man
passed second.
Jordan. Fox nnd Phillips combined In the run which tied the game. Jordan went
safe on 8Ilver Bill's error, and scored on Fox's hit.
Harley scored the run which won the’ game. He opened up the seventh In
ning with the first hit he hns^tnade In forty-seven games, or therealmuts. A passed
1*11 advanced him a base, Winters* infield hit sent him to third, and he scored
on Croxler's hit.
The Atlnutn team played right at Its best. The fielding was errorless, nnd the
hitting timeJy. Every piny went off with n big bngue snap, and from end to end
the Fallen na were helpless.
Frank's men played good ball and If their hitting only equaled their fielding,
they w*ouhl In* about the ln»st In the league.

"The constitution of the league distinct

No club In the league, save possibly

If Charley Frank's <vui tent ton Is true

Golf Course at East Lake
One of Longest in Country
The new golf course of the Atlnutn Ath
letic Club nt Fast Lake, which will he of
ficially opened Saturday, Is the largest ill
the South and one of the very longest In
the entire country.
It was measured Thursday by F. G, Byrd,
nnd Superintendent Pickering and found to
lie 6,970 yards long, or almost exactly 3?4
miles In length.
These measurements came ns a surprise
even to the ineu who laid out the course.
They figured that It was somewhat more
than 6,000 yards long, but when the exact
figures were ascertained the total made
them fairly gnsp. No course In the South
touches It on length nnd few In the country
are within 1,000 yards of It.
Just xvhnt the bogey will be for this
course has not been determined. It la likely
thnt the figures wilt be submitted to Tom
Bendlow, the famous professional, who laid
out the course, nud his opinion will be se
cured.
The new course will be opened in tho nf-
ternoon of Saturday. Kvertyhlng will then
lie In readiness for play. The sand boxes
have nil been plnced, the cups Inserted and
•verythlng Is spick nnd span for opening
day. Tho caddy, house has been completed
nud a Idg effort will be made to get enough
caddies for opening day and the Trawlrfc
tournament.
The piny for the Trnwlck. second nn<l

noon with n qualifying round. Kaeh man
selects his own partner nnd opponents keep
each other's scores. Matches may !»»• start
