The Atlas Finally "Down' the Haverlys
After Fine Game-Other Contests.

After a Fine Game-Other Contests.
Yesterdays game at Agricultural Park
between the Atlas and Haverlys drew the
largest attendance of any ever played in
this city, though of course there were more
spectators last Fourth of July, when there
were additional attractions. Il close ard
exciting game had been anticipated, not
outstanding the reports that Barry, the
pitcher for the Atlas, was suffering from
spralned ankle, and that Mclaughlin had
thrown his arm out two or three weeks
ago at Savannah, and would not be of
much service. The anticipations were
realized, for the game was one OF the most
stubbornly contested Of any that have been
played in this city, and was exciting from
start to finish. Barry, though little both
cred in his running, was able to pitch good
game, and astonishei himselfby making two
base hits. Mclaughlin, who received
warm greeting was evidently badly " off,
doubtless owing to his long trip from
Savannah, and was unable to find the ball
except for a couple of fouls, and his arm
was not good enough to enable him TO
throw to second. He caught well, how
ever, and was the right man on the plate
when the ball was thrown home" Ahern
did Hayes. Meagher was exceedingly
lively, guarded third base admirably, and
was remarkably successful in batting and
base running He was unfortunate in
making the only error charged to the nine,
which consisted in throwing short to first.
Taylor took the only ball that found its
way to him in left field, and Flint caught
the only one sent TO him and held on to it,
though simultaneously with catching it he
measured his length on the grass with his
back. BOrchers could not find the bail,
and, allowing his temper to get away with
him, incurred the displeasure of the spec
tators by throwing bis bat at the bal two
or three times. Of the Haverlys, Incell
carried off the honors, striking out seven
teen of the Atlas, ana making a run,
and two base hits. Hardie seconded him
in his usual able manner, but in the eighth
inning tried the trick of kicking the ball as
he was running, and thus interfering with
McLaughiin's getting ii, for which he was
declared out. Hanley played without an
error, and made run and two base hits.
Some of the members of the nine seemed
to be dissatisfied from the start and as the
game went on they got the others discon-
tented. and lack of success caused them to
Law everything to the account of the UNI
pire until finally they untitled themselves
to play ball, resulting in their making eight
errors to their opponents one. In the first
two innings neither side scored. In the
third Meagher and Barry scored, mainly in
consequence of an error of the Haverlys'
first base. No more runs were made until
the fifth inning, when Meagher was again
successful. In the seventh inning Incell
made run. Both mines were whitewashed
in the eighth, and the Atlas in the ninth
also When the Haverlys went to the bat
there was much excitement among the
spectators. Hanly hit 10 short stop safely,
and was advanced by Incell and Arnold to
third. though Incell was put out Stein
struck, and Robertson got the ball and sent
it home in time for Mclaughlin to touch
Arnold as he was sliding to the plate 1t
was very close matter whether the runner
was out or had tailed, but the umpire de-
cided him out, and the Atlas had the game
