In her uplifted right hand is branch of laurel, syr1bolizing victory. On sii- yer base three racing autos are chased. The sbase of the drum represents an auto tire with, a chain guard; t

LOCALS LOSS
 NOT APPROVED Rain in Second Inning

 Hour. TarpauiIns Stretched Over Pitchers and Batters' Boxes, But Grounds Were in Horrible Condition for Plays Continuance.

Billy Smith got away with his game yesterday. but nis action looked very uussIiondole anu Sle snouid not leeI very proud of it. though Atlanta got the biz end or a 4-to-0 score.
 With two hanSs down in the hrst half ot the second inning, it began to rain, and an Pfenninger had 10 call the game. For over half an hour 1t rained. putting the grounds in hor- rlble condition. though tarpaultns were stretched over the pitchers and batters' box. It was neariy forty miu- utes before the rain stopped and the sun came out. The grounds then were in horrible condition. and Ryan pro- tested against continuing the game. There was a good bunch of people in the stands. and Billy Smith dld not want them to get out with rain checks if he could help it. Besides, that would have meant siyting the Climbers lin ,s. the tt., mogul insisted on playing and as ne was the man who had the say as to whether the grounds were playable,
 tennhiaSsfb ass had to dG ss he tSa 1h. grounds were too wet. So. at nearly IS minutes of 5 o'clock the game was started again.
 Up to then, not a hit had been made off Weems. while he had struck out one man. Persons went to bat after the rain in the second inning and was out on hit to Jordan. making the third
 Then. with the handicap of having to handle the wet ball. the Crackers hit Weems hard enough in that one inning to win the game. Bill Dyer started t by singling to left. going to third on Jordon's hit to left. the Atlanta field captain stealing third. Slim Jim Fox punched one out to rig for two bags. both Dyer and Jordon counting. Fox being sacrificed to third. Castro drove one to right and the first sacker count ed Mckenzie hit to Pope and he. Perry and Baxter doubled Castro and Mckenzie. Four punched hits. how ever. had put over three runs.

 Mckenzie Saves Himself.
 "Hoot Mon" Mckenzie was hit as hard as Weems, but his steadiness and h eadwork saved him. Only in the third and seventh inning did the Climbers get two hits together. Mckenzie strik- ing out a man on both occasions, Sam Weems being the individual both times considering the wet ball. and both re- ceived great support. The Union Springs boy was just unfortunate enough to go in when the grounds were at their worst-and that's all there is to 1t.

 New York. April 24.-Daybreak this morning found 10000 people awaiting the start in the Briar Cliff automobile race over a thlrty-two mile course in West Chester County just north of New York City. All night motor cars of every de- scriptlon lined the roads from the city and at daylight 1t was estimated that there were at least 11.O00 cars station ed along the roads which are included in the race course.
 The race was for the Briar Clim trophy and was for stock cars. Tweu- ty-two cars were ready at the start long before it became light enough for the drivers to find their way around the course. Eleven of the cars which took part are of American, six Ital- ian. two French. one German and one Austrian make.
 Practically all of the crack drivers of the country were in the race and 1t was one of the most exciting contests ever run in America
 The roads were closed to traffic and 1000 members of the National Guard were on duty to keep the crowds in order. Thousands of signs were placed all along the reads, and every precau- ton was taken to avoid accidents. All

NEWT FISHER HERE.
5oaIy Fellow from Nashville TaIks
 With Friends.


 With Friends.
 Newt Fischer dropped into Montgom- cry yesterday morning and spent a busy day here shaking hands with his nu- naerous frienus.
 Newt was formerly owner, manager and captain of the Nashville team back in the olden days. As a manager he was about the scrappiest ever. getting every Dit of the ginger and life out of his team to be had. His worth as a manager was shown by the fact that he won the Southern League pennant for Nashville twice in succession-and there have been few better catcher in this league than Newt was. He left last night for Jacksonville. Fla, where he goes to wind up some business af- fairs connected with hss family. He had with him young Roche. a Nash vile amateur pitcher. who will work in. some of the sem ms-professional games between teams of the big Jacksonville hotels.
 'T. am through with professional baseball for good" said Newt yester- day. though I may catch a few games now and then for the Jacksonville gen1i-pros. It is possible that I shall locate in Jacksonville permanently. I will send to Nashville for my wife and baby in a few days. and we may spend the rest of our days in Florida"
 1t would be hard to find any cleverer chap than big-h ca rted, jolly Newt Fischer. and his friends in Montgom- cry and all over the South. will wish for him all the success in his future life possible.
