Atlanta, April III Especial. )--Atlanta
made it three out of four from Birming-
ham today, winning TO 1, in the pres
test game of the season. Today's pas
time was a real game with both pitch
ers hurling nice ball and receiving
great support from their team mates.
Hardgrove was touched up even livelier
than the score shows, but beautiful
fielding by the Birmingham outfield
saved him in the pinches. Musser al
lowed the Barons but three scattered
hits and although he walked seven men
he tfghtened up In the pinches and the
hard hitting Barons were helpless.
Both Hardgrove and Musser Jared
badly at the hands of Umpire Breiten-
stein. The former hurler was made
practically to split the plate on his
drops. which seemed to be the most
effective ball that he possessed. This
seemed to unnerve Musser. who also
suffered. quicker than it did Hardgrove.
Keating Knocked Out
Shortstop Keating was knocked un-
conscious by Clyde Mcbride in the sec
ond inning and forced to retire In favor
of Dobard. Mcbride tried to go to third
base on McGilvray's sacrifice which
Smith came In to get. Keating out
sprinted him to the bag and he, the
ball and Mcbride came together 10 feet
from the bag. Heating put the ball on
Mcbride and was bowled over, striking
on the back of his head. He recovered
and finished the inning but had to re-
tire on account of a severe headache in
the next session.

Never before has the great Cobb been
more prominently before the limeligft
of the nation. He has for years been
the best baseball player of the world.
His name has apeared In print more
than the name of any other player.
But at the present. time he is more
talked about than ever before.
For his holdout from the Detroit
club is an actual test of the strength
OF organized baseball. Should Navin
yield to Cobb he would admit that Cobb
is greater and more powerful than the
game which made him other than an
unsung country boy. Cobb states that
he will not yield Navin is equally as
determined.
The outcome Will be watched with
interest. In the meanwhile Cobb is re-
ceiving numerous offers to engage in
other business. He has been offered
a position as automobile salesman ty
Chicago house. and now George Evans.
the minstrel man, has offered him a
fabulous sum to become an end man.

Barons Move Against the Lookouts

WY HEN Tom Long and the gov
N/ ernor fell out and proceed
ed to tell the public what
the one thought of the other, when
erstwhile friends in the county of
Sumter permitted the Shiny tick to
come between and put them apart,
and when Tyrus Raymond Cobb broke
with the gentle and astute Navin. we
were so simple as to believe that the
gamut had been run.
Estrangement. however, in another
family has occurred. The sporting
scribes of Chattanooga no longer en-
brace when they meet. Furthermore,
they have resorted to the question
able tactics of shifting each other hip
and thigh through the columns of
their respective journals. So busy
have they become. as a matter of
fact. that each sheet has dispatched
hurry calls for fresh supply of devils
and couple of those unexpurgated
dictionaries from which the colonel
was wont to draw his abusive adjec-
tives.
We have not been reliably informed
as to the causes which have set these
pillars of the Lookout house the one
against the other. But that Mr.. Fos-
ter of the Times has little regard
for Mr.. Butler of the News appears
to be true. For hear the former in
a recent issue of the Times, the ref
erence being to the gentlemen who
pleases every afternoon through the
columns of the News:
"One enthusiastic local scribe, In a
communication to an Atlanta paper
has stated that the Crackers are 20
to l bet to win the pennant. This
scribe, who. by the way, doesn't write
for the Times. was certain man

in his case the wish was father to

It is evident that the trouble dates
back to the season when Billy Smith
was manager of the Lookouts. 1t is
probable that Butler was friendly to
Smith and Foster was not. At any
rate, it is evident that at the present
moment, Foster is not obsessed with
love for Smith. Some time ago the
league held meeting in Chattanooga.
In the lobby of a certain hotel Foster
extended his hand to Smith. For some
reason, Billy, it is related, failed to
see the extended hand, which, Incl
dentally. was not to the credit of Billy,

Gated to her that he would think con-

Beulah had put aside the shattered

not help but open up the old wound.
She was too cherry-hearted and

wealth?
She said nothing as her father got

out his best but rusty tie, brushed
and mended his coat and sent him
on his way with smile. Her heart
