xv,,h the score standing to in favor of the Pretzels up to the end oi tha fourth inning, those Firecrackers vanked the cover off the lid, carelessiy dropped lighted fuse in the bung' and it was all off with poor Roy Hale yesterday afternoon.
 It was ladies' day and this fact to-
 pether with the hundreds of people
 drought in on the Coast Line excursion
 trains made possibly the largest week
 day crowd ever at ball game III Montgomery There were lots of Gecr- gia people at the game and the rootins for the Crackers was very much In evi- dence.
 When Otto Jordan smashed one al Olding that was a bit too personal TOT that gent and that little galvanic pat tery who does unutteranie tninss ou. in the Cracker field under the name of Morse scored him with a terrific drive for two bags-why then the Georgia rooters felt that they had we'll coming to them and forthwith pro- ceeded to pump every particle of sur plus blood out of their lungs.
 Things rocked along like this for several pretty gloomy innings for the local contingent In the last of the fourth the local fans began to sit up and notice things once more. Brouth- CTS had punched a long one out to cen- ter field and got to second on Moles- worths sacrifice. LawIer smashed one that Morse got and threw it to third to stop Brouthers, who was going to that bag like whirlwind. The round Dutchman dropped the ball and when Dominick Mullaney tore the cover off the piece of horsehide by sending 1t out to deep center for three bags Brouthers and Lawler scored. Then numerous and sundry yells began to exude from numerous and sundry good old Montgomery lungs.
 Tn the fifth inning Whitey Morse stepped up to the plate with another loaded stick, the result being that ne had the sticky little man out in the Pretzel middle garden chasing the ball, Lynch doing the same thing to one that McCay slammed out in his lot. Lynch let the ball get away from him while Morse scampered over the plate and McCay got to third. This tied the score. Archer struck out, but Smith received the courtesies due visiting pitcher and walked. In trying to catch who doubled himself up in several kinds of knots in trying to stop the ball, McCay scoring, making 1t 8 to 2. George Winters had an idea that things were not coming his way fast enough and proceeded to imprint a deep dent on the oakland likewise the score-by sending one out to cen- ter for two bags, Smith tallying and making the score and 2. Bob Staff ford walked and Heine Krug cracked one out to right field, scoring Winters and making 1t 5 to 2. Unlike some men who dabble in cotton futures, Jor- dan knew when enough was a suff1- ciency and struck out, ending the in- ming with four runs.
 At the end of that inning Hale re- tired to a shady corner and busted himself in collecting the scattered fragments and trying to get together with himself, Jack Lee facing the storm of Atlanta. bullets. Nothing happened until the seventh inning when the gent whose business 1t Is to sit on the lid moved his seat for one brief. fatal moment. and the second ex- plosion followed. Smith started the ball rolling with hit to center. Win ters. in trying to sacrifice. dumped bunt down the third line that Brouth- CTS and Lee both made a grab for and got tangled up with each other. Lee got the ball and evidently intended to throw to Mul!aney, but instead the ball went to the extreme end of the bleach CTS, Smith scoring and Winters get ting to third. Crozier and Stafford were out, but Olding fumbled Krug's hit. Winters scoring. the Dutchman be- ing caught off first a moment after wards.
 In the last of the eighth there was a furry and local hopes beat high. The PretZels managed to get three men on base, but once again the home plate was a pons asinorunl.
 In the ninth Winters hit for two bags and Krug hit fly back of second that Molesworth, Schwartz and Olding started for. They started, that's all, and the little ball nestled coyly in the grass. the Dutchman getting to second and Winters scoring. completing the eight large, juicy runs made by the Crackers.
 The score was:
