Wheat's Injury Will Keep Him
Idle for a Full Week.
IBy Telegraph to The Tribune.

e Memphis, March 19.-Bll Dahlen and his
Superbas had only one session here to-day,
but II was by far the best this spring. All
the players, with the exception Of Wheat,
were out for practice. and after an hours
work a full nine inning game was played.
All the heavy hitting was done by the
regulars. who divided six extra base hits
among them, Daubert, Moran and Smith
securing triples, and Miller DAILY and
Downs doubles With the improvement OF
the grounds the fielding and base running
were much better.

Stack and Kent easily outpitched Rucker

only players to hit this pair Of youngsters,
the former getting brace of singles, and

sters Brooklyn has brought South for many
years. The team will remain here until
Thursday, when II will leave for Louisville.
Another game may be arranged with the

pitching the last six innings, the colts got
a close decision over the real Giants at
Emerson Park to-day, the score being TO
4. Except in the first inning that they
faced him, the regulars could not bunch
hits on the manager and fell into the
habit Of swinging too hard at his "dinky'
delivery, a mess Of pop flies resulting.
Features Of the contest were Latham's =

Two Of the regulars were missing from

Street Injuries His Finger and
Must Look On for a Time.
[By Telegraph 10 The tribune.


Atlanta. March l9-Hot weather and a
hard days work found the hardy High
landers ready for early retirement this
evening. They were drilled in organization
batting in the morning, and I'm the after
noon PLAYED nine inning practice game.
The regulars evened up for their defeat
last week by the second team This after
noon the former were triumphant by
score Of 3to2
The pitchers had the better of the joust
and the batting was somewhat nebulous
The regulars. however, had one profitable
batting streak. They did all their scoring
IN the first inning, when they punched four
hits off Shears. A wild pitch also helped
in the jaunts over the home plate. The
hitting which produced the scoring was
dcne by Wolter, Chase, cree and Hartzell.
Inc second team was not anywhere near
TO a run until the ninth inning. Long
George" Mcconnell was opposing them at
that time, and he passed the first man up.
Cree muffed a fly on the next batter, and
Priest and Curry followed with hits. Poor
hase running then deprived the second team
OF a good chance to tie the score.
The first half of the scrap was lively and
spirited, Dut tne ginger OOZeu away dltei
four innings had been played, the regulars
being content TO hold their lead. They did
run bases with dash, however, and never
stopped moving on the paths. Two of four
double plays made by the scrub were due
to the regulars taking bold chances. Twice
wolter tried to go to-third from first on
hunts by Daniels. and each time he was
nipped by Priests good throw. Dolan and
Chase fielded 0est for the regulars and
Stump stood oJt at short for the second
team.
Warhop. who pitched the first three inn
lngs for the first team. held the opposition
10 no hits, and not one OF them reached
first base. Upham was most effective In
the box for the second team.
Wolverton's catching staff Is crippled.
Williams is getting over the grip. and to-
dav Street hurt his right hand. A pitched
ball split the nail OF the middle finger and
cut the skin off at the first joint. The In
iuries are not serious, but may keep Street
out Of the game several days.

Erhard Is on the shelf with q madaged ese.
