Atlanta, Ga, May 21.-Nearly 1000 peo-
pie to-day saw the prettiest and most ex-
citing game of ball played in the south
this season, and so well was the game
played that there are very few chances
that Ii will be repeated again this season
either in the south or In the National
League. 1t was a game which drew a
tight tension upon all who were out and
when it was over there was not one, not
even the most loyal home fan who was not
satisfied 1t was battle between Wood,
the young pitcher Atlanta pulled out of the
prize box, and Silver Braun. Each
pitcher gave up four hits, and the way
the hitting was done showed that both
men knew what they were doing. The
first hit in the game was made in the sec
ond inning, when Braun was found for
two-bagger and then there was no more
hitting by the Atlanta until the eighth in
ming, when a second thump for a single
was found. New Orleans could not find
Wood at all until the fifth inning, when a
single was produced by the batters of the
team. The next inning a single came
from Braun's bat. When the Atantas
went from the bench and the New Orleans
came in to the bat for the last time the
score was / to 0 in favor of Atlanta.
New Orleans had two men out when
single, double and a players choice gave
them two runs and the game. The score
follows:
RHE
Atlanta 40 1 0 0 OIL 0
New Orleans. % 0 p 3
Batteries-Wood and Armstrong; Braun

team and have developed from compare
lively raw material, rapid lot of players
who will MOI long grace the tail end of
the procession. Nichols umpiring was bet
