box tomorrow to play the deferred game.
Mappis, Atlanta's new catcher, is here,
and will catch Dundon tomorrow. He
was claimed by both Birmingham and At
lanta, but Atlanta has proved her prior
claim. Manager Harrison, of BirmIng-
ham, denies that his nine has any inten-
ton of disbanding or selling out its league
privileges. He SAYS that they are in good
shape, with enthusiastic backing at home,
and mean to play out the entire season.
There is, however, a strong probability
that Memphis will disband soon
and give place to Savannah. 1t is
said that only two games in Memphis
this season have paid the guarantee and
expenses, and interest in the game there
Atlanta are very hopeful that savannah
will arrange to enter the league soon.
Pool selling on separate games and COM
bnatiOns on each days games continues
very heavy here. Atlanta has such conf
dence in her home team that she Will back
it heavily against all corners and stand up
to it when abroad.
