GOOD WORDS FOR
 POPULAR PLAYERS

Atlanta, April 17.-(Special. .)-Bayless. the nifty little center fielder for Atlanta, has a most amazing ability to toss the ball, considering his avoirdupois. He is about the size of hefty peanut, but in the second game with Birmingham, Fri day, when Kane pasted a liner to deep center and Gygl. the new Baron first baseman, tried to score from second on 1t, Bayless cut loose a mighty heave which shot straight to the plate and killed Gy- gli by three feet. It was the best throw ever seen by the Cracker fans and they all had fit over the midget forthwith.
 Manager Molesworth made himself pop ular with the Cracker fans during the opening games in Atlanta. All over the circuit the Baron chieftain Is known to be an able exponent of the game, and his manner of putting up fight for the victory has already impressed the At lanta contingent most favorably At least that's what the Atlanta scribes re- port. Moley as manager promises to be- come as husky individual as Moley with the maulstick.

HenIine Is Injured In
 Final Inning Of Game

In case Henline is indefinitely out of the game it is probable that Manager Molesworth will alternate between Raub and Kane in the outfield or maybe Lar sen will be given an opportunity to shine in the garden until another capable man Is obtained In the meantime everyone is filled with hope.
 Henline has started off magnifeently. In the first game he got three hits, two in the second and was finally credited with two this afternoon, the official scorer for a time being undecided as to whether to give Henline the hit or Hess the error
 The Barons will leave for Montgomery tomorrow afternoon. They are in fine spirits and believe that they will beat Atlanta out in the race this season.
 Dickson, in spite of his walloping this afternoon, looks good l-e was never ex- cited nor rattled and if he had had con trol would have won the game.

ALABAMA WINS IN
 SPLENDID GAME

Jackson, Tenn, April 17.-(Special.)- Alabama finished her series with Union here this afternoon, winning the final game by a score of to O. Contrary to custom. the home team went to bat first. The winning run was made by Alabama in her half of the ninth inning with one man out. In this inning, after Waite had been retired, D. Pratt hit for two bases, stole third and came home on vaughn's screaming single to left center. Alabama had no difficulty in finding Boon's deliv- cry. but the local outfielders had string of horseshoes about their necks and took in several hits that ordinarily would have been good for two or more bases.
 M. Pratt pitched an excellent game for Alabama, striking out eight men and al- lowing but three scattered hits. Vaughn caught fine game, his throwing to bases being a feature. The score: R. H. E. Alabama ................ 4O00 900 o01-1 3 Union .................... 900 900 000-0 ?
 Two-base hit-D. Pratt. Struck out. By M. Pratt, 8; by Boon. 6.

Atlanta, April 1L-(specia1) )-Disap- pointment in the loss of the Atlanta se- ries pales into insigniicanee by the anx- iety Manager Moesworth and the other Barons feel over an injury sustained in the ninth inning of today's game by Noah Henlne, the fleet left fielder and hard hitter. Tonight Henline can walk with greatest difficulty and there Is a knot in the calf of his right leg which has reached the proportion of a large goose egg. Henine is unable to decide whether he struck his leg with the bat as he swung in the ninth or whether he has strained or torn loose a ligament.
 If he was injured by the bat he will probably be able to play Monday after noon. If a muscle is displaced however. Healine will not be able to beat infield hits to first any more this season.

New Orleans, April 17.-Charley Fritz came very near pitching a no-run and no-hit game for New Orleans against Mobile today. Inning after inning passed without a single Mobile batter figuring in the hit column, but finally Petit came up for Wheat and ropped out safe one to short left field. New Orleans earned one run at the very start. but was unable to cross the rub r. Der after that. From then on it was a close contest and proved the best game of the season so far played.
 It was TT. P A" day at the park and a large crowd of travelling men were present. Score:

 Tuesday afternoon Birmingham college and Howard college clashed in the first of a series of three games. The rivalry between the two teams is great and both will work hard to win.

GAMES TODAY.
Little Rock in Memphis. Mobile in New Orleans.

Atlanta, April 17.-(Special)-A woeful lack of control Dickson holds responsible for the loss of the game this afternoon. In the first inning he was unable to lo- cate the plate at any time and through out the remaining sessions his effort to get the sphere over caused a loss of eff fectiveness. Tommy Atkins a little southpaw, who has cleverness well mixed with inexperience, pitched rattling good game for Atlanta in spite of the fact that he was very wild.
 A home-run drive by Sid Smith when the bases were full in the fourth and a clever steal home by Moran in the first were the features of the game. A large numbr of fans witnessed the Barons' de- feat.
 In the first Bayless was walked and was sacrificed by Jordan. Smith was hit with the ball, and Winters and Moran were passed, this forcing Bayless across the plate. Newton hit to Ellam and Smith was tossed out at the place. Hem walk forced Winters home. and Moran at that time stole home, Hess at the plate effec- lively blocking Kane attempting to put the ball on the runner.
 The Bad Fourth.
 There was a great calm thereafter unti the fourth Then Atlanta broke loose again, scoring four runs, and cinching vic tory. Hess opened with single to cen ter, Atkins beat out neat bunt, Bay less, attempting a sacrifice, went safe when Raftis heaved wildly to first. Jor- dan famed, but immediately afterward Smith drove one on a line to deep left field fence. When the ball was returned to the diamond the bases were cleared. While Dickson was hit after this in- ming, Atlanta had no other chance to score
 In the fifth, Atkins smashed one be- tween Molesworth and McCiilvray for three bags, but died at third.
 In the ninth two hits were hung up by Atlanta, but effective fielding prevented a score
 Barons Had a Chance.
 The Barons had a good opportunity in the third when their only run was scored. Kane was hit with the ball, and Dick sons sacrifice put him to second Hen- line beat out hit to the infeld, and walk given to Bowen filled the bases Molesworth flied out to center and Kane scored. McGilvray couldn connect, how ever, when a hit would have done great damage.
 A little rally was threatened in the ninth, but 1t amounted to nothing, due to a freak stop by Hess of a grounder from Raub directly over the third sack. FL lam and Kane were walked. Raub, bat ting for Dickson, stung one a mile a minute over third. Hess handled it with one hand, and while he could never have caught Raub at first there was plenty time to force Ellam at third Henline then went out from Atkins to Hem, and Bowen famed.
 Hess made another magnificent stoI during the game, the other being ter rife drive of Bill Raftis which was slated for a double.
