 Little Rock at Memphis
 It was case of too much Henley yes- terday afternoon and because of this fact | the score was in favor of Atlanta by to L The former college man had speed to put in a sack, curves to .ae up the open end and control sufficient to send 1t away. Birmingham's batters could not solve him at any time during the nine innings. He easily proved the best pitch CT seen at West End this season.
 Lipp pitched a good game, one that would have won had he not been fighting against MT. henley lie had speed, curves and more control than the youngster from 1 Atlanta but he let out a few more hits than the boy Then his support was not quite as fast as that of the Atlantian.
 The nelding game of the Atlantas was | faster tran that of the locals. During | the game they. made three double plays. while Birmingham made only one, though they had opportunities for one or TWO others. But as a whole the game was the fastest seen this season and abounded l in work sufficient to call forth much ap- plause.
 The feature of the game was the um- piring of Ghio-that is the feature which was unattractive. Not because the little midget sho wed any partiality or gave one team more unjust decisions than the other, but because of general deficiency. An absolute ignorance of the game was shown whep 1t came to settling field mat ters and at calling balls and strikes he proved to have the poorest eye of any um pire in the business. 1ncompetency Is his failing-and he has 1t bad.
