THE DOPE SHEET.

Victory.
 An errorless game.
 That looks more like it.
 Ragan will win this afternoon.
 Wilhelm and Ely did the umpiring
 The squeeze" came in nicely again.
 The Swede lansing is the limit. 
 Dale Gear scored the first two runners.
 Atlanta should be easy picldngs for the locals.
 Watch Montgomery make it four straights.
 "Ginger" Clark had everything. Hur- rah for Ginger"
 Billy Smith is suspended, and Sh<ster is growing himself hoarse.
 Birmingham is twenty-two points to the good, and still a-coming Wilhelm will open against Atlanta Mon
 
 Breitensten allowed Atlanta but two hits, and Mallarky gave them only four. This was rubbing it in just trif1e.
 Brooklyn by ninth inning rally handed P1ttsburg a second successive defeat yes terday afternoon. What do you think of that?
 Detroit took the game from the New York Highlanders in the tenth inning i, yesterday. Mcintyre started the work with triple.
 The New York Giants are winning their every games just at present. Their re- cent sensational ninth inning finishes are growing too spectacular
 The fans who heard the details called at the Apollo were overjoyed. Commodore Orcutt was very happy, too. When was the commodore otherwise? Montgomery has swung above the 800 mark With the hoodoo overcome, the Pretzeis should go right on up. The Ba- rons are hoping that they will. l After Cleveland had cinched the game | the Philadelphia Athletics had luck and did some hitting, with result that i've runs were made in the ninth, and the game won.
 | Mobile handed Meridian another defeat yesterday. Mobile also defeated Meridian Thursday afternoon. The Alabamians have that pennant rag well cinched all | right enough. | Brady outpitched Suggs yesterday after | noon, and Little Rock scored victory I that was comparatively easy. The held- ing of DeArmond and Nichols was the l feature of the game. 1 Shreveport will win from New Orleans this afternoon, Little Rock will lose to Memphis, Birmingham scores another vic- tory over Nashville, and Montgomery makes 1t four straights. Those two defeats handed Atlanta in Montgomery yesterday are causing tre- mendous howl in Atlanta. The papers will say that Kavanaugh's suspension Of Billy smith was the cause of the downfall. It might have been. Houtz' enchanted catch of Archer s drive to the fence, was the feature Of the | double-header in Montgomery yesterday, in which Atlanta was dreadfully beaten. The lamentable incident was the spiking of Fox's arm by Perry. TTuehes must have been tired of work ing. At any rate in the tentS inning yes | terday he smashed out home run, ana scored the only tally for Washington in | snlendId 1 to exhibition between the Senators and St. Louis
 Memphis is half way between New Orleans and Atlanta in the standing and Shreveport is nearly half way between Atlanta and Montgomery. The question is will Montgomery overtake Shreveport, or will the Pirates run ahead of the fre- men.
 Have YOU noticed with what regularity Fisher is now receiving his bumps. He let Whitey Guese hand him defeat yes terday. What do you think of thatE It might be added that Liebhardt will soon get his If Babb does not end this fancy double-header business, and keep him out of the field when he is not pitching. There is a certain limit to every mans endu- rance.
