1t is the consensus Of opinion that the

nooga's opening day, but it will be
wasted effort. For, if the Crackers
win to-day's game in the last of the
exhibition series and take as many
as two out of three from Chattanooga,
the Atlanta fans viii tear down the
fences and uproot the turnstiles
swarming into Ponce DeLeon PARK
next Monday afternoon.
And Atlanta will win the cup for
the largest opening day attendance BY
so many thousand that the other
burgs will ask that their figures be
suppressed.
Z OR it's coming over the fans with
surges and waves that Bill Smith
has most amazing ball club out at
Ponce DeLeon Park. And when At
lanta folks have club to root for,
they turn out by the tens of thousands
to root.
Bill Smith is going after to-day's
game with Buck Becker. Against him
will be opposed Little Eva" Wilhelm.
Now, last year Becker won seven and
lost seven in the Southern, while VIII
helm was winning 16 and losing 10 in
the International, which seems to n
dicate that the eX-Baron has all the
edge and that Rochester should win.
But, then, IL doesn't always work out.
For yesterday Jack Quinn was OPP
posed to Paul Musser, and Jack won
twothirds of his games in Glass AA
company last year, while Musser was
down in the tall brush somewhere.
Also Rochester is the club that fin
ished a giddy second in the chesty In
ternational League, while the Crack
ers were landing an humble last In
the Southern
And. despite all these things. the
Crackers won, to 4, in one of the
very closest little games Atlanta has
seen in many and many years.
IL discussing the prospects in the
morning, Manager Camel said: u
guess Bill Smiths team will win. our
outtield is on the bum and our infieid
IS the same. But. believe me, wau
snow you some pitching"
Yet that wasn't the way IL turned
out. Camel sent his very best pitch
or against the Crackers-the ex- Yauk
Quinn-and il was the hits the Crack
ers made off him, more than the ad-
vantage gained by errors or misplavs
~ the substitutes or cripples Of the
Rochester team, that enabled the %
calls TO bring their record up 10 ump-
steen, straight victories.
1T appears that the Crackers have a
club this year that is no respecter
of pitchers. They have hit every
thing they have met. Yesterday Agler
got a couple off Quinn; WelChonce, a
single and a two Dagger; Smith. a
single and a three Dagger, ans Harry
Bailey. a home run. Bailey's hit was
a liner to center. Both Anderson AMI
linn got near enough the ball to kick
at ii futilely, but it passed them I'M
touched and bounced off the sign
board in center field. Bailey could
have circled the bases twice on the
hit II he had hurried.
THE Crackers looked good yestcr-
day-not only because they wore
heir new road uniforms, but likewise
because they played good ball. Mus
