ANOTHER GOOD GAMEL0ST
RIDDLE DROPS THE BALL IN THE
NINTH INNING ~
And Dumps Memphis Into the Soup
Bauswlne Pitches in Good Form, But
Loses Through Inferior Support--A
SlugRing Match at Chattanooga.

The responsibility for the loss OF yester.
days game rests with Riddle, who is out
Of his element behind the bat. He can
hold down the short field, but will never
rank high as back stop. He made two
fatal errors yesterday, one when Shea was
in chase between third base and tho plate,
and the other in the last inning when,
after touching Howe at the plate, he
dropped the ball and the game with it.
Young Woods, at second, was shade
better than Dugan, but will not do to cover
that bag With good man at second
Memphis would have won yesterday by
score OF to O. All the boys filed their
places acceptably except those above mem
toned. Kelly, in CENTER played brilliant
game, and Mcbride, in left, captured ev-
erything that came his way. Ryan, at
short, played finely and made brilliant
double play. Cassidy's catch of foul fly
to the left of third base, for which he had
10 run almost TO the fence, was the best in
dividual play OF the day Bauswine
pitched strong, steady game. and with
good support ut second and behind the
bat the home team would have won. For
the visitors Martz IN center field and
Dowsc behind the bat divided the honors.
Up to tho fourth inning II was an ideal
game, only one man succeeding in crossing
the plate, and he Memphian named Nc
Bride, who was first at the bat and drove
the sphere TO right field fence for two
bases; was advanced 10 third by Cassidy's
sacrifice and scored on Kelly's single 10
center field. There was no more scoring
after that until the fourth inning both
sides fielding sharply and putting up good
ball. In the fourth inning Dowse, for At
lanta, led with a single; Howerman fol-
lowed with hit to right field. The ball
was fielded TO third to intercept Dowse,
but fell wide OF the mark. Cassidy threw
TO Woods to cut of Howerman, but Dugan
failed 10 get the ball and Dowse scored.
Quinn went out to second. Shea hit 10
left field for one base, but got
three on wild throw 10 first,
Howerman scoring. Mariz hit TO pitcher,
who threw 10 Riddle TO cut off Shea,
who was half down between third and the
plate. Shea was caught in chase but got
home safely through Riddles error in
throwing 10 third when the runner was
out OF reach from that bag. This sort Of
playing sent a cold wave OF disgust through
the grand stand, and elected derisivo
applause. In the fifth inning Memphis
closed up the gap that separated them
from Atlanta Bauswine. who couldn't
hit balloon II II stood still and dared him
10 do Il, got his base on four balls, stole
second, made third on McEride's sacrifice
and scored on Cassidy's out from short TO
first. Kelly drove the ball TO center for
one base, but Martz iumbled and
Kelly got TO third on the hit and
scored on Graulich's hot drive 10
right field Neither side scored after
that until the final inning when after two
men were out, Fender hit TO Woods, who
fumbled and gave the runner n life. This
must have dishcarted Bauswine, for the
very next man, Sterling weak batter,
touched him for base, advancing Howe
to second. Kingsley hit, too, and Howe
scored on Riddles failure TO hold the bail
after touching Howe as no slid TO tho
plate.
