The Atlanta team, which will tackle the
c. l.. A. boys at the park tomorrow aft
ernoon, will arrive on the drummers' spe-
cal train this morning. They will prob
ably go down TO Tybee to find out what
the wild waves are saying.
The library team that viii go up against
Marshall's team of crack-a Jacks is a
healthy one. Krenson viii pitch and Goss
will take care of the backstop. Krenson's
arm is in much better condition than it
was earlier in the season, and the boys
confidently look for him TO hold the heavy
hitting Atlantains down. Goss will hold
him down all right, and see that no bases
are purloined.
Brown will be at first Ed Brady at sec
ond and OConnor at third. Ballantyne
will play shortstOp. and. with this iniieid,
il is hard to see where anything to the
infeld is going to get away
Founder in left field, Clarke a. center
and II. Hopkins in right will look after the
Quilted.
Lawshe will be In the box for Atlanta.
Lawshe is the twirler who pitched the
eleven inning game for Quitman against
Savannah. He is a strong, speedy pitcher
and supported as he is by a fine team,
he ought to give Savannah a hot chase.
It was a sore disappointment to a good
many persons that rain prevented the
game between the Young Mems Christian
Association and Guyton. which was to
have been played yesterday afternoon.
The GuytOn boys came down with a crowd
of rooters and a bevy Of fair enthusiasts.
They regretted not having a fling at the
Y. NJ. c. A. boys for they were confident
of winning. The regret was mutual how
ever. and so was The confidence for the
Y. NJ. c. A. boys were imbued with the
same feeling. The teams will probably

Atlanta. Ca, Aug. 21.-Hon. Peter Mel
drim and Mrs Meldrim of Savannah passed
through Atlanta to-day en- route TO the
mayors convention.
Mayor Meldrim called at the capitol to
see Gov. Atkinson and his presence there
caused some gubernatoral gossip. When
he was asked by the crowd of newspaper
reporters, who happened to be there at the
time what he thought of the gubernatorial
race, he replied "Well. l don't know. You
newspaper boys and others have been very
kind to me in connecting my name with
the Office of governor, and l will say this
much, that l know of only one single man
whom ! believe would not have the office
of chief executive of this state and he is
Col Thompson, one of my South Georgia
friends who has very unique ideas about
such things, you know"

What they saw when they reached the
kitchen-which they selected with cruel
fatality as their first point of inyestiga-
tion-has never been clearly related.
Opinion at this distance seems to be
divided on whether Frawley, at the pre-
else moment of their entrance, was on the
pig or the pig was on Frawley. The only
certainty established is that Frawley and
the pig were in the m DIST of a warfare be-
side which the recent encounter between
Corbett ana Fitzsimmons was a mere bit
of pleasantly
Words fail to describe the scene. 1t is
sufficient that every body did not tail to
extract ray of good cheer out of it-that
in point of fact every body seemed actually
to derive ioy from it. Everyb body except
Host Frawley. But tinasmueh as the quail
ity of mercy is not strained it is really
possible to stretch point at this sacred
juncture and let the curtain be drawn over
a truth that is sad.
Anyhow doubt if any one of the guests
could be prevailed upon to disclose it in
all its nakedness, for not one could be

visibly adds to the effectiveness of this
altrurian arrangement, and it was upon
this worthy heroine that Histrion Frawley
largely depended for the successful execu-

felicity among the friends that were dear
to him. To her he confided the PROPOSE

menting that mysterious and vague bit of
intelligence with an airy behest that she
"go ahead and do tue rest"

The histrionic mind of T. Daniel Fraw-
lev was one day not long illumined
by one of those opportune ideas which go
TO make life worth living in this dissipated
and conviviaI world. He conceived that
existence for him in this vale of fond re-
grets might be rendered a degree more
tolerabl by means Of dinner party ten
dered by him to a select few OF his con-
freres in the dramatic profession.
The select few so honored were to in
clude John Drew and Miss 1sa belle Irving,
whose conformity with the excellent
scheme was made convenient by their
presence IN the City contemporaneously
with the occurrence of the idea to the
Frawley intellect. Besides these two dis
Iingmshed outsiders, there were a few
home stars of no little magnitude-sui-
fcient at least to recommend them to the
discriminating host as fit material TO
adorn his hope for properly good time.
Mr.. Worthing, Mr.. Carlyle, Miss Bates,
Miss Moretti and others of his own COM
pany were among these latter.

tons lay III certain fiat in he Western

Host Frawley, as he rolled up his shirt

determination in his eye and strength in
his arm. The battle was all but won. The
clouds were clearing rapidly.
If the company in the other room had

indeed have come out we'll. But the COM
