By working about the steadiest, most brilliant game of ball that he ever i pitched on the diamond Sam Weems the Union Springs boy and ex-Auburr 1 collegian. cinched the 1907 pennant For Atlanta yesterday by nosing the Fur ties out in a to 1 battle. It was big league baseball that the Alabama boy worked and he most as- suredly deserved victory. His control was perfect, Caligan getting the only base on balls in the fifth inning after two men were down.
 In the second inning he struck out Scoops Carey and Richards. striking out James in the fourth with runners on second and third, striking out Rich ards for the second time in the fifth and for the third time In the sixth.
 Only in one inning-the sixtll--did two hits come together on Weems, and one of those came after two men should have been out. Only six clean hits were made off him, the other caus- ed by his being bit slow ini covering first base.
 He had swell support, too every one of the eight men back of him having pepper to throw to the birds. The most sensational fielding stunts were Phil Nadeau's long run and catch of James's foul fly in the eighth inning, and his catch of Stockdale's and Rich ards flies in the ninth, and Kid Buscls long running catch of Hurlburt's foul in left fiela in the third and his stop LII JdUltS niI ln lffG SeCOHO ana DhDD s stop of Hausen's hit in the fourth.
