In the seventh inning two men were hit by the ball and this, with an out and scratch hit gave them the only run they secured.

At Atlanta.

Atlanta, Ga., April 27.-The Atlantas opened the week with Mobile, and took the first game of the series. It was Memo rial day, and notwithstanding the fact that the parade and the game began at the same hour the park, which is a mile and a half from the nearest point the parade could be seen, 5000 people were in attendance. A merry, enthusiastic crowd 1t was too, and like all the Atlanta crowds 1t was impartial. Good work, whether by an Atlanta or a Mobile player, was ap- plauded lustily. Though the Mobiles lost the team impressed the people. The team Is made of good, strong men, who know the game, but it was apparent that the players have not yet become acquainted with each other enough to produce good team work They are all good, strong batters clever, careful fielders but some how they have failed to get together sc far. The Atlantas played strong game, but 1t was only through team work they won. Notwithstanding the result of the game there were many out who thought the Mobile team even stronger than Montgomery. That It Is composed of a good lot of players no one can assume after seeing them work. Score:

MR.. REEDS FRIENDS.
They Are Amused at the Importance At
tached to the Favorite Son Movement.
Washington Star.

Washington Starr
The friends of Mr.. Reed express am USE
ment at the Importance that is attached
to the favorite son movement, and to the
idea that it is an attack on Mckinley.
They say that Is just what is to be ex-
peoted about this time before any ma
tional convention, and does not mean
anything and cannot affect the result
to any i'm portant degree. AS the con-
yention approaches there is a certain
amount Of feveIishness; there is talking
and figuring, and certain men are taking
tentative positions until the time comes
or them to act.
They do not think anyone is going to
be hurt by hacing lot of favorite sons
in the field at this time, and when the
nomination comes they expect the result
to be just the same as if the transient
ca ndidates had never been mentioned.
As far as Mr.. Reed is concerned, his
friends say, there is nothing disturbing
in the situation. They say that Mr..
Reeds strength. great to start with, il
growing in the most satisfactory manner.
Starting out with the solid New Eng.
lana delegation, thing that even Blaine
never had, he has strong support, they
contend, i'll every section of the country.
They say there will be Reed delegates
from nearly every State In the country,
except those States presenting candidates.
Besides his support as first choice, they
claim that he is second choice of IA
very great number of delegates who will
be tied up at the start to the support OF
candidates who cannot be nominated.
They count on his being particularly
strong in Pennsylvania and New York.
In some sections Of the South and West,
IS well as in the East, there will be prac.
tically solid delegations for him, and be.
sides this he will pick up delegate OF
TWO here and there-where other candi-
dates count on solid delegations. MIR.
Reed friends do not count on nomination
within the first two or three ballots.
They expect the fight to last little
while and express the greatest confidence
as to the result
