No Attempt Made to
Start Train From Atlanta.

No attempt was made TO SEND out a
train from Atlanta in the forenoon.
The postoffice department had a car
load of mail ready to go out by auto

had left Augusta, postofflce authorities
believed it likely a train would run
from Atlanta They called up officials
of the road and Immediately afterward
ordered the automobile to leave with
the mail. This was taken TO indicat,
that the officials had said there woulc
be no train out Of Atlanta. AT the loca

THIRD INNING,

Buck O'Rrien shows a flight of
awful widness when, with a brace of
strikes on the feeble Fletcher, he throws
him four straight balls and Fletcher
takes first. Marquard lays down
what is a surprisingly good bunt for
pitcher and is out, O'Brien to Stahl,
while Fletcher scampers along to sec
