Atlanta May 26.-(Special) )-Fle- hartv couldn't come back and Atlanta won today from Birmingham without trouble by the score or Il to 0.
 Manager Molesworth figured that the rrishman was strong enough to hand Atlanta another licking of the same kind he administered in Birmingham, and so sent him in for another trial For a good long while 1t looked like he was in mighty good form, despite the two runs scored in the second inning Inning after inning he reeled out with out score and without the semblance of trouble. but in the seventh and the eighth Atlanta punched hits and that was all there was to it.
 Birmingham was aided in its down fall by Elliott, whose two errors were costly. the first bringing in a run. the second allowing two Crackers to ad vance bases.
 Birmingham could not hit In the pinches or at any other time. to tell the truth. and had no chance against the control and the skill of Left handler Foxen.
 In the opening inning 1t looked pretty good when Marcan opened with a hit, but he was forced at second by Moles- worth, who on outs got as far as third, and died there. In the third inning Phelan got as far as second and then died attempting a theft of third. In the fifth Yantz walked, but was forced at second, and then goodnight for all chances to score In the eighth there came another flash in the pan when Elliott, first up, singled, but remained on first while three men flew out to the ielders.
 Atlanta was determined to show the home folks that it could play, even with Walker In the hospital.
 In the second, two out, Sykes singled coming home on Miller's triple, Miller scoring, too, on E1liott's error. Uttel silence until the seventh and then the deluge One out, Sykes was hit, Miller singled, Wells walked. Foxen tried to win his own game by a safe wallop, Corbin flew out, Jordan doubled, Zim- merman bunted safely and a double ~steaf Hof the successful variety. Results i've runs.
 Inning No. 8: Watson singles, Sykes dittoes. Sykes steals, Miller hits for a bag, Wells does the same, Foxen fouls out, and Corbin craftily lays one down and beats 1t to first and Jordon pinch swats once more Answer, four runs and a total of II for eight innings. !, Tomorrow, Miller against Wagner.

No less than half 3 dozen sprinters who have covered the distance in "evens" or ten seconds. were entered. Of these Craig of Michigan was the favorite, as he was also in the 220-yard dash.
 Today's competitions were planned te complete the dashes to the semi-f1nal stage, to reduce the field In the 400-yard dash to nine, and that of the mile to somewhat more than dozen.
 In the field events five men were to qualify for final competition. the marks made by the men in the shot-put ham, mer throw and broad jump counting to the deciding points of tomorrow, while the performances in the high jump and pole vault were merely for purposes of elimination.

"Rowdy' Elliott has caught 15 eonsecu- tive games and is playing better than ever before
 He is not only catching well, throwing well and fighting well, but he is hitting like a house af1re.
 His hitting has been more surprising than any other feature of his work, and he has a bare chance, at the present tifne' of breaking a worlds record for consecu- tive hitting. The record at the present time is held by that player who hit safe lv in 26 consecutive games. Elliott has singled at least once in Il consecutive games.
 Tn addition to his hitting he has scored a large number of runs, and driven in

"GRAND OLD MAN"
 GETS BUMPED

Nashville, May 26.-Nashville showed the winning run across this afternoon in the eleventh round in a clean hit to right by Munson. Case and Breitenstein did the rough work, with the old horse getting the worst end of the deal. Bad base running, brilliant fielding and heavy hit ting were the order of the performance New Orleans had the game won until the seventh, when a base on balls and hits by Viola, Smith and Munson tied 1t up. Four thousand people saw the game. Nashvilles half of the grandstand receipts went to the Young Womans Christian association. The score:

Powell school for the fourth consecu- tive year won the grammar school.
 Ullman gave Powell stiff opposition, however and when half the events were concluded held the lead. But in the 115 class Ullman fell down and Powell ren away with the honors.
 The meet was the largest ever held in Birmingham-and the largest ever held in the south. It occurred at the fair grounds, and the crowd of spectators was enormous. The importance of the meet can be estimated when it is learned that there were 800 entries In the various classes.
 T. O'Byrne of Powell got away with the individual honors of the day with 21 points. D. Streit of Ullman was second, with IS; R. Thomas of Ullman, third, with 12, and H. Miles of Ullman, fourth, with Il.

 The success of the meet is tribute to the enthusiastic work of G. N. Messer, in charge of physical training of the schools of Greater Birmingham, MT. Messer is without doubt the most sue cessful trainer of young men who has ever worked in Birmingham. He has marked ability in every line of athletics, but his enthusiasm and consciousness take precedent over all his other good traits.
 The meet was wonderfully successful. splendid, and their work creditable to a marked degree. The crowd was enor- nous and enthusiasm was at fever heat. The rivalry between the youngsters was exceptionally keen, and the spirit of the contest was excellent.
