straight. are now squaring off IN
three -cornered affair with the New
York Yanks and the weather man..
The Yanks are scheduled to play at
Ponce DeIeon Thursday afternoon
their only Atlanta engagement this
season-and the ". m. has promised
rain.
We are pulling for the Yanks Gas
against the sky juice1, but the Hon.
VonHerrmann's bet may be a bad one
to copper
If the afternoon is reasonably clear,
however, there ought to be a good
big crowd out to enjoy the privilege
OF looking over the Reconstructed
Highlanders at the very moderate
price Of two-bits per throw, and SIT
where you please.
A MoNG the celebrities will be the
"A Peerless Leader himself-the man
who won four pennants and two
worlds championships with the
Cubs. and who now is confronted
with the stupendous problem OF maxi
ing over the Yankees. He has pref
tn nearly made them over, at that. II
IS now to see If they we're cut out ana
sewed up properly.
Maisei, the highly expensive I'M
fielder, will be. on exhibition; ana
GilhooIey, the speed demon, and
WARRIOR. the Irish Indian hurler, and
our old friend Ed Sweeney, and plen-

have COPIED six cut OF seven practice
games, and tied one or these games
two were not exactly orthodox bat
ties, being waged with very amateur
teams.
But OF the five remaining contests,
one was a tie with a big league team

ers so far Big Perryman looked bet
ter in the second game against the
Indians than at any other start TINS
year. Schwind's errors, aided by a
Wild peg by Joe Dunn, caused a ma
iority of the scoring against him,
although two resounding blows in the
ninth made three runs out Of base
on balls and a scratch hit that a
hard hearted scorer might have list
ed as a sixth error against the unfor-
tunate Schwind.
Tor schwind was unfortunate

tie chap got thirteen chances, not
counting a brace Of scratch hits that
he reached. You might call Il fifteen
IN all; and he was going after every
thing in sight. His misdeeds were
all OF commission; he loafed on
nothing. And they were all on tough
chances and hurried pegs. II would
be sorry work to penalize young
lniielder for suffering over the tough
ones and for errors resulting from
fast play when It had to be fast or
not at all.
