FANS LISTENED TO TICKS.
Atlanta-Montgomery Game at Base
 ball Matinee.

Od1I UudLluee.
 The crowd down at the telegraphic mati nee yesterday afternoon was larger than l the one of Thursday, and their expecta- tions ran high.
 As on Thursday, however, the Pre,zels barely saved the ignominy of shutout the Crackers doing the run-getting busi- ness. Deaver pitched splendid game and while the Pretzels hit better than they did on Thursday, still reckless, or rather, loose work on the paths with T little off-color inf1eld work, tells the story of defeat
 In the second inning, with a couple of hits, a tumble by the Cracker infield ana players choice. there should have been score. but base-running lost the golden opportunity. In the sixth inning, a wild throw by the Cracker infield. a base on balls, and a safe hit. should have given another run. Base-running did it. It is rather unjust to criticise the team from long distance, though. for these things may have happened just the reverse of the way they looked to the fans at the matinee. The season has only just begun and a lot of things are against the Pret- gels so far. Better luck today. perhaps. The ticker yesterday gave it like this:
 Molesworth was out on hit to Morse, Schwartz on fly to Crozier and Durrett on foul to Krug.
 Denver made his bow by sending McCay to base on balls. Crozier sacrificing mm to second with neat bunt Mellor was out on fly to Stlckney, Delehanty booted hfuk mt ana MCGdY scored. MOTSe mt one which bounded over Delehantys head and was stretched into a two-bagger, Krug getting around to third on the play. Hollingsworth hit to lansing who got II in time to nail Mw'se at thrd before Krug scored.
 Clark drove one over Morse's head in the third. but was too risky on the lines and got out stealing second. Stickney hlt safe and went to second when Hollings- worth fumbled Jansng's hit. Delehanty hit to Hollingsworth, who got lansing at second, Stickney getting to third, but Manners ended it with hit to Ely
 KohIer was out on hit to Delehanty in the last half and Lusky-who was catch ing now in place Jf Clarke-was out to the same place, Denver getting Ely's hit
 Denver was out on a hit to Morse in the third. Moeswortn hit one over Morse's head, Schwartz was out on hit to Morse. Durrett crashed out a two-bag- ger to right and Molesworth scored with an earned run, but Clark was out on hit to Morse.
 McCav was out on a fly to Molesworth in the last half Grozier on hit to Dele hanty, Janslng tumblrd Mellor's hit, but Schwartz got Krug's fly.
 Stickney drove one at Krug in the fourth that was too hot to handle. Jan sing was out on fly to Kohler, Delehan ty on a hit to Hollingsworth, but Man ners struck out
 Morse was out on a hit to lansing in the last half. Hollingsworth on a fly to Dur
 
 The fifth inning oponed with Deaver at the bat, and he stayed there, so far as the matinee crowd knew. Scratching his head while troubled expression crept into his dreamy eyes Umpire Higgings announced that the same old bug that was the cause of trouble at last years matinee had 'n some "buggerly'' manner lit on the wires. Well. his bugship seemed to be perfectly satisfied with his surroundings. and held the wire until the beginning of. the sixth Inning nothing having been done. for tunately. by either the Prezels or Crack CTS in the fifth.
 sticknev hit one that Morse got all right in the fifth. but made bad throw to Mellor. Stickney got too gay and was thrown out trying to get to second Jas sing walked and went to third >n Dele hantys hit. This would have been an- other score if Stickhey had been careful; Then they tried the double steal-and fell down-Delehanty starting to second to draw the throw and lansing sprinting to the plate. The Crackers were too foxy and lansing wes nipped as he slid into the plats MappaTs AndSd tS by striking out.
