ATLANTA WAS EASY
 FOR BIRMINGHAM
GAME RESULTED A To 1a IN PA. VoR OF THE HOME TEAm-THE
 ATLANTA BOYS COULD NOT
 STAND THE STRENUOUS PLAY.

Birmingham Athletic club team last
 night defeated the Piedmont Athletic
 club team by a score of I4 to 1S in the
 most strenuous game of basket ball seen
 this year. The home boys and the visit
 ors played nip and tuck for the first
 half. but in the second the home team
 settled down to the hardest and prettiest
 play seen in long time. and the scores
 piled up rapidly.
 The Athletic club was packed with
 people, The standing room sign was held
 out early in the evening, and about 100
 people availed themselves of the oppor- tunity to see the game even under these
 circumstances.
 The Atlanta team showed that it was
 weary about the first five minutes of play in the second half. and after that
 the Birmingham team put the ball into
 the basket with awful accuracy They
 never threw to better advantage. It
 seemed that every time they aimed at
 the basket they would aim true and the
 ball dropped right there. The crowd was by far the largest that ever witnessed a game in Birmingham and it speaks well for the games that are to be played in the future. Everyone en- joyed the game and the roofing was a feature. Men. women and children joined
 in the enthusiastic support of the home team, but every time the visitors made pretty play they were nberally ap- plauded. The girls game resulted in score of 5 to o in favor of the Blues. The Whites put up a good game, but the Blues were
 more successful in throwing for the basket The applause was great during
 the entire game and it was an interesting feature. The score in the championship game was as follows: Birmingham Berry, center, points. Ware, forward, 22 points. Gibson, forward, 8 points. Woodruff, forward. 2 points. Johnston. guard, points. Shute guard 4 points. Riddle and Hunt, forwards. Atlanta Green, center, 9 points, Hit. forward, ? points. Doonan. forward points, Turell Hudson and Colquett, guards. The sponsors for the game were as follows: Atlanta-Miss Patterson; maid of honor, Miss Dichey. Birmngham--Miss Eua Drennen; maid of honor, Miss Peters of Cincinnati

 It develops that von Lichtenberg, which is the mans real name, an officer in the Prussian army, came to Sew- York sev- eral years ago with his wife He changed his name to Lambert, and. with his wife, went to Mexico to manage some mining properties. There Lambert met Miss Marsh, who was then the wife of Chica- go lawyer named Rodon. Rodon soon died, leaving his wife $10000. Leaving his wife and child in Little Rock, Ark, where they still are Lambert ran away with Mrs. Rodon. They went through with the s10,000 and became wanderers finally coming to Detoit.
