 1 If Jack Lee of the Montgomery team l ever pitched a better game of ball than
 the one in Atlanta yesterday the fact
 has never been heard of in this or any other minor league in the United | States.
 l Pitching in mid-season, champions
 ship form. cool and remarkably steady | at every stage of the game and field
 ing his position with a brilliancy and snap that won the admiration of every | body, Lees performance in the box was
 without doubt a remarkable one. good part of the game was played
 in drizzling rain, while from the At | the end of the game the grounds were l wet and the ball was slippery and diff
 ficult to control. making his pitching
 69pSSly mertorous with all these
 giving only one base on balls and
 striking out eight batters. The off
 cial scores make it only seven strike
 outs. The eight hits made off him l were widely scattered, only in one in-
 ning-the fourth-did two of the hits | come together. In this inning a couple I | in the only two runs scored by Atlanta | during the game.
 Not only in his pitching did Lee | make good, but his batting was the
 feature of the game, his three-b bagger
 in the fifth inning with singles by Mil | lerick and Shiebeck putting in the first his two bagger with Mullaneys single and Krug's tumble of Millerick's hit put in the other two runs and won the | game. The Pretzels' stick work was heavy, | Butler being hit consistently, three hits l being punched in the fifth and two in the sixth. while hits were made in
 nearly every inning. Lee and Millerick 1 got three each, Schwartz and Moles- | worth two each, while Shiebeck and I Mullaney got one each, Shiebeck's hit l helping over the first run. The result of the game proved that l the PretZels are one of the hardest hit | ting aggregations in the league, and | also proved that with any kind of a l pitcher the team is as fast as the best l of them.
