Wednesday that he will probably be I'M

A prominent enthusiast in baseball cir
cles who Is noted for never knocking
made a bet of ten to one yesterday after
noon in the seventh inning that Little
Pool. would beat Atlanta. At that time
the score stood Little Rock 49, Atlanta 6.
II seems that the man he bet with
'lxnew something" when he put up his
dollar. lie made bluff as II to take his
dollar down but the baseball man in
sisted that 1t should go. The man with
tbe dollar finally consented and about that
time messenger boy came in with a
telegram saying Atlanta had made runs
in the eighth inning and won. Smelling
salts and other restoratives were sent for
and the man who thought he had cinch
was finally revived sufficient to reach his
home.
Atlanta Is setting the woods afre
around the Georgia capital and yesterday
reached the 500 mark. Alb Powell has at
last made good for his disastrous in
vasion of the west. The Atlanta players
who were something else ten days ago
are now heroes. Such is baseball.
The Birmingham players are congra tju-
lating themselves on the fact that Shreve-
mort made one run yesterday. Every time
birmingham shuts out a team they lose
from four to six straight games The dis
asters following the shut out of Shreve-
mort will be remembered
Tamsett made good with the fans yes
terday by his awful hitting. Out of four
times up he tore off two singles and Al
home run. He not only hit well but play
ed a star game at short and ran bases ac-
cording to Hoyle.
Jimmy O'Brien made a stop at third
Yesterday that set the rooters wild. The
hall was going like shot when he stab
bed it with one hand and threw his man
out at first.

Superintendent r. L. Holiday has
appointed Thomas G. Metz to the
chief clerkship of the Delaware Divi-
sion made vacant by the untimely
death of Mr.. John Barkley. The an
nouncement of Mr.. Metz's appointment
was received with general satisfaction
not only by the railroad men but by
his many friends. Chief Clerk Metz
is in every way fitted for the new du-
ties upon which he has entered. His
rise in the railroad service from the
bottom to the highest position on the
Delaware Division outside of the Su-
perintendency has been one of marked
ability and sterling worth and while
his popularity had much to do with
the appointment, he. nevertheless, pos
sessed qualifications that were singu-
larry fitted for the position. He is what
is termed an all-round man in the SER
vice, quick, thorough, reliable, capa
BILE, to which is supplemented splendid
knowledge of railroading. Mr.. Metz
enters upon his duties with bright
prospects of success and with the best
wishes of his friends.
