 After a good rest the Atlanta Crackers and the Black Sox ought to make a pret- ty lively fight this afternoon and the base ball game promises to be a warm propo- sition.
 Atlanta is fighting for third place just now and the result of today's game will settle a tie with the Pelicans of New Or leans Gloomy Gus" Wehying will be in the box for the Crackers today with Sis Hopkins for the Black Sox. On a more momentous occasion these two pitchers went against each other It was in the last game in Atlanta and both of them were hit pretty hard. the Black Sox southpaw getting the hest of the final score. In all twenty-one hits were | made in that game. nine off Hopkins and twelve of Weyhing. Kanzlier got three | hits. Clarfk three, Winters a three-bag ger and two singles. Koehler a two-bag- ger and two singles and Whistler. Lau- zon. Stafford and Weyhing two-baggers each.
 Hopkins looked In splendid condition yesterday and says he never felt better in his life As he has not pitched since last Saturday it is a prety sure thing that the Crackers today will not be able to duplicate their hitting in.Atlanta. l Clarence Chiids will in all probability
 
 days game against Atlanta. letter was received from him by Manager Whistler yesterday morning in which he stated that he was ready and willing to come to Montgomery and asked that ticket be sent to him. A ticket was tele- graphed him at once and it is possible that he left Baltimore last night and he should reach Montgomery at Il o'clock Saturday or Sunday at the latest. Childs has been playing with Baltimore and is in condition to go right in the game Sunday which he will probably do Childs led the New York League in bat ting last year. "A games. 2S5 at bat and 102 hits with an average of .357 while in fielding he was third among the second basemen with 231 put outs. 225 assists and | 27 errors, average 944. He got IA stolen | bases. eight sacrifice hits and 59 runs in the "A games, so 1t will be seen that he will be able to hold up his end with the heavy hiters and fast fielders of the Black Sox. Roth did not come back with the Black Sox yesterday morning. The catcher was ready and willing to come but Fischer told him to stay in Nashville and he would pay his expenses, Newt having MT. Hightower of Chattanooga in Nash vile and claiming that he has some cor respondence that will give. him Roth.
 Fischer was told that he was liable to the penalty for tampering with play CTS but he said that he would risk it and the facts in the case were telegraphed to Judge Kavanaugh.
 Roth is sure to come to Montgomery and that wise Memphis newspaper which said that "the Roth matter had been settled by Nashville purchasing him from Montgomery" will have to guess again, as the matter, so far from being settled, is exactly like 1t was.
 Manager Whistler undoubtedly insists on the catcher coming to Montgomery.
 Manager Powell of Atlanta said last night that he intended to save Frank Wilson for Sunday. Well, Oscar Streit will come pretty near giving Frank and the Crackers a red hot ruin for their money.
 Sis Hopkins said yesterday that he is willing to bet that Winters don't get his three hits today. The Black Sox have been hitting at about an 800 clip lately and it is likely that the gray hairs of Col Augutus Weyhing will be white befor, 6 o'clock this afternoon.
 Baseball is a funny thing. The Blacl Sox could not hit Campbell while yester day Nashville pounded the life out O him. Russell shut Birmingham out yes terday while in the game that he pitch ed in Montgomery George Stultz shu Nashville out with two hits, Nashvill, pounding StultZ in Nashville.
 Today's game is the last to be included in this weeks batting averages and ev cry man on the Black Sox will try anC run his average up as high as possible
 The game today will not be called un til { o'clock.
