 TWO TO PELICANS

Atlanta, August 14.-New Orleans won both games of the double header with Att lanta here this afternoon. taking the first i to 0 and the second to 5.

In the seventh Kirke knocked a home run with two men on bases. tieing the score. Score:

Phillies Out of It

The Philadelphia Quakers, for whom Birmingham was pulling, are down and out, 1t appears. This state of affairs is attributable to the injury of Red" Dooin, the peppery manager who was getting more out of his players than they had in them. As a matter of fact when Alexan- der and Moore are eliminated, the Philies have no pitching staff
 Sherwood Magee, who was suspended some weeks ago because of an attack on Umpire Finneran, will be reinstated Wednesday and this will help the cause Of the Quakers-possibly. But the Dooin- ties have absolutely no chance to run a neck and neck race with the Pirates, the Cubs and the Giants.
 In the American league yesterday both the Athletics and the Tigers lost. Ed Walsh of Chicago put the Tigers-a hard hitting bunch of sportsmen-down with single hit.

Nashville, August 14.-(SpeciaL)-1n a magnificent hurling bout between Max well and Case, which was also featured by such fast fielding that the 10 innings required to carry 1t through consumed but hour and 40 minutes. Birmingham triumphed as usual over the locals this afternoon, making a grandstand finish and scoring twice in the tenth round, while the sign of the egg was displayed by the locals throughout.
 A fusilade of singles to centerfeld wound up the contest, Case weakening in the extra round after pitching an even game with the leagues best highlander up to that time. In the nine rounds preceding the blowup, the Barons had been able to get but a couple of men as far as second, while only once had the locals threatened, when in the seventh "Red'' Smith was thrown out at the plate by Mcbride, following Schwartz's single coming on top of his own two-bagger. This was foolish play from local standpoint, as Smith was out block by quick heave of the Baron leftfelder. who ran in close for the local managers bounder.
 At the start of the tenth, it was five all in the hitting department. but the bottom fell out of everything when, after Mcbride had started by lifting an easy one to Lindsay. McGilvray, Johnston Elliott and Ellam singled in rapid sue cession to center, the first two coming all the way round. McGilvray started the explosion by lamming one through Perry that was too hot for anybody to handle.
 The Volunteers, though staggered made a feeble comeback in their. half of the round when Storch doubled to the score board after two were down. Harry Bay was an easy chance, however. and good nights were in order.
 Maxwell had his usual assortment of slows and lasts. which he mixed with bis customary abandon. As an indication of just how good the fielding was on both sides but total of six strikeouts was recorded and but two bases on balls allowed, both by Maxwell It was gen erally three up and the same number down on both sides.
 The only miscue of the contest was low throw to first by Roy Ellam. There were no fielding features of special note, nearly all chances being very simple ones. Marcan and Phelan were the only Barons to get past first during the ordinary time Of play and neither of these, as indi- cated, got to the third station.

POINTERS TO RANDOM

Tyrus informed a number of fans that his nephew was born in North Carolina, and did not move to Georgia until he was ten years of age.
 And lol for the fate of those stories about the young Cobb spending his boy hood days on the red hills of the Empire State To fiction must be relegated that idyll of Cobb and his own cherry tree. Oh, Georgial how thou hast blundered.
 This incident would indicate that every promising youth who touches Georgia sod is in danger of becoming native son. And soon the Georgia motto will be gen. orally recognized-"Touch Georgia and achieve greatness, and you are Georgia's $ forever"

There are a great many who believe that Birmingham has a very poor chance to win the pennant this season. This is not remarkable.
 There are a fair number of local fans who entertain fear that either Nashville .sr Montgomery will beat the Barons out of second place. This is remarkable The Barons have second place cinched and will finish, we believe, closer to New Orleans than they are today.
