ATLANTA. Ca, March 21.-Yesterday's
game between Conroys Shamrocks and
McBride's Regulars resulted in dog fall
Of nine innings, the tally sheet showing
six runs on each side Both teams had
plenty of pepper and ran out every play
and went after everything in sight on
the field. 1t was the classiest contest
the two teams have put up yet with
first one side in the lead and then the
other all through the game. Fred Bussey
twirled for the Regulars and Walter
Johnson for the Shamrocks. Manager
McAleer sent both of them through nine
innings. Bussey's offerings were treated

Had Everything.
The big fellow used some Of his curves,
too, just to show the boys that he had
them, and, believe me, he did. The way
he was hooking them over there GER
tainly bears out his reputation Of "hav-
ing everything and speaks well for
another great season.
The regulars got to Walter for three

one johnson handed out during the en-

Texas Lacquer in left and made two
sacks on 1t. Milan and Schaefer scoring
on it. Gessler poked one through John

In the seventh Mcbride picked one to

Kid Elberfeld is the ambidextrous lad.
He was heaving them across the plate
with his left hand before the game start

was the reason for the change. sore

a little cold, thinks Trainer McQuirk.
Manager McAleer announced today that
the team will stay here until April o,
which is Sunday. He made this decision
Washington which gave him the power
to make his own decision in the matter.
McAleer was plainly pleased with the
Improvement that is being shown.
Mike Kahoe is undecided whether he
will leave here today or tomorrow on
his scouting trip. It will probably be to-
morrow. He is going to take q run
through the big colleges of the east in
search of material, hoping to pick up
some more Henrys and Ainsmiths.
Tom Hughes is still bothered with his
arm. The veteran was slipping up the
slow curves in batting practice. but could
not loosen out any. At that he made

Walter johnson had quite bit of fun
with Zeb Milan when he came to the
plate. Milan and johnson are room
mates. TIL get you for kicking me in
the ribs last night" yelled Walter. and
with that he started hooking them across
the plate. Zeb missed the first Two a

fast ones across, Zeb swinging after the
ball hit in Ainsmith's mitt 1t was the
same thing the next time Zeb came plate

two-sacker to right in his last time up.
