GOT THE
 WHITEWASH Crackers Put Brush to
 The Climbers. BAD SCORE OF ! TO 0 Baxter Was "Shooed" For Protest
 ing Too Much. Grant schopp Was Effective and the Team Fielded in Yellow Style Behind Van Anda--There Was
 One Horrible Inning. ..

Through a long series of calam:tous mlshaps yesterday, the Climbers were shut out Dy Atlanta again. smiths peo- ple gong three runs better on their Fridays score, and making the final yesterday 2 to 0. ....
 The princlpal cause of the undoing of the house of Ryan was a left handed pitcher py the name of Grant Schopp, the same de-wheeler whom Ryan was to get in excnange for Leo Walsh-and didn't. ,s.-
 Enduring of the exciting session, four enormously scattered hits were made of him. Perry getting one in the second, Henline one in the sixth. Mes sitt one in the eighth and Hassett beat ing out an infield hit in the ninth.
 On top of this. he struck out big Ed Greminger. Moose Baxter, Noah Hem line and Van Anda. Archie Persons drawing the only walk. in the second inning.
 Van Anda pitched game that, under ordinary (mark the word "ordinary') conditions. would win. His control was also splendid. striking out Grant Shopp in the third inning and Bill Dyer in the fourth. and the same gent again In the eighth. his oRly base on balls com sng fin that awful fifth inning when he walked Castro and filled the bags with
 CT the i've hits made off Van. three of them came in that nightmare ses- sion. The others were one in the first and one in the seventh. Probably the fact that the Climbers piled up six err TOTS behind Van Anda while Dyer's wild throw of Henline's hit in the th:rd was the solitary miscue made behind Shopp.
 The feature of the animated conclase, however, was the fact that for, the first time this year Ryan was shoed out of the game by the 'umphs, the William of the play in this particular instance happening to be one Dan Pfenninger. Of course from. long distance point of view one can't be as certain of facts as if he had his peepers glued on the from Atlanta, however. tt seems that the pointed protest of Ryan had some th:ng to back it up. Eddie Has sett went to center field: Now, there is, no question if the fact that if Shopp had been called out. 1t would have had hugh bearing on the game It would not have changed the final re- suit s though for SAti Atlanta slready had without the trouble In the fifth. Atlanta would have won the game fairly by q score of 1 to o. -,
 Manning hit one in the. first that was too hot for Perry. Van Anda got Win ter's hit and tried to throw Manning out at second. He missed it and Perry threw wide to Baxter, trying to catch Winters. Manning getting to third and Ginger to second. Manning counting on Dyer's fly to Persons.
 Tn that horrible fifth. Fox started off with a Cwo-DaRgof co center. going to third on McMurry's bunt to Grerninger. Baxter dropped the ball that Gremin- ger threw. and McMurry got to second. Van Anda walked Castro, filling the bags without a hand being out. Shopp hit what Baxter insisted< NWas fair. PfennInRer was equally inssstent that it was foul. THen Slfoop hit clean. Fox counting. McMurry and Castro count ing on Manning's drive to center. Greminger made a wild heave of Win ter's hit. Shopp and Manning scoring. Winters scored when Hassett and Per sons ran together trying to get .Dyer's fly. Dyer was out stealing second and Jordan ended it with a hit to Grem- inger-but six runs had come in. mak- ing 1t ' to 0, H
 Nothing else was done Lit closed that way. The score was: T'T
