mingham has been cleaning up in the
east in much the same manner as Shreve-
port has done in the west, and there is

The above, referring to the first game at
| Shreveport is greatly appreciated and
! shows that all Atlanta fans are not too
narrow.
Matty hurt his hand in the game yester-
| day and as a result could not throw as
well as usual Five bases were stolen by
the Pirates.

! formidable as Fisher or Hickman.
