longs the credit of yesterdays game,
going to the Crackers. BY a marvel
Gus catch. he pulled down Ike Durrett's
terrific hit In the last half of the tenth.
The score at that time was 4 to in
FAVOR of Atlanta and the hit would
probably have scored two runs and won
the game for Montgomery.
1t was a remarkable game of ball
both teams scoring one run each in the
third, fourth and ninth innings, and the
fact that the only earned run of the
game was made by Montgomery shows
just how 1t went.
Both Hale and Smith pitched good
games, though the Atlanta pitcher had
better control of the ball. Only one
hit was made off Hale up to the ninth
inning DeMontreville getting it the first
man up in the first inning In the
ninth, however. three hits were punched
on Hale and in the tenth one more was
made. completing the five hits made off
him.
In the third inning the first Anan up
on both sides got a base on balls and
scored In each instance In the fourth
inning Atlanta got its run by a base
on balls and an error in the Pretzel
outfleld, the locals earning their, run
in the last half of that inning by a two

field. In the ninth some PUNCHED hits
with bad throw to third put in the
Atlanta run. while a two-bagger by
Delehanty and Morse's wild throw
scored the Pretzels' run. and in the
tenth base on balls. a hit and wild
throw scored the winning run for At
