ATLANTA, Ga, March 2S.-The
Tigers continued their losing streak
here yesterday, Atlanta again VIM
ming after ten innings, to 6. Inabil-
ity to bunch hits off Perryman in the
early part of the contest and the deei-
sions of the umpire caused the Ben
gals defeat, their fifth straight. Perry
man, with the exception of the third
round, baffled the Tigers for the first
seven innings. The Bengals compiled
total of nine hits in the ten innings,
but could not make them all produce
runs.
Donnelly started on the rubber for
the international League champions
and four runs were corraled from his
delivery at the very start of the bat
tie Mcconnell walked when Schwind
tried to sacrifice Eddie Zimmerman
threw to second with time to spare
trying to force out Mcconnell, but
Move was slow in trying to force out
Mcconnell. and both runners were
safe. This, followed by a pass to
Long, a hit by Eibel, couple of
stolen bases and O'Rourke's wild toss
to Eddie Zimmerman and then a
safety by Dunn, sent four tallies over
the home teams plate.
Harry Smiths men secured two
runs in the third session. Getz was
safe at first on Schwind's tumble and
ambled to second when Schwind
heaved the pill past first base. Gus
raced over the pan on O'Rourke's sin
gle. Donnelly's out put O'Rourke on
second and Collins brought him home
with single. Long added run to
Atlanta's register in the fifth with a
clout for the circuit. The home team
corralled another in the seventh. Long
singled, stole second and was fetched
to the plate on Lynchs safe rap. In
the eighth inning Getz started the
Tigers with o one-baser to left. Gus
moved to second on Heckinger's in
field out and crossed the plate when
Schwind wild pegged Holmquist's
grounder toward first.

one down Dion, who replaced Payn-
tar and u. Jimmy at third base,

hit, but Getz forced him at second
Heckinger singled, scoring Dion. Then
Getz and Hecl1inger raced over the
plate when Tooley smashed one for a
triple. Bert died, however, on Col

PARIS. March 26.-In one of the
greatest match races ever seen in
Europe, Frank L. Kramer, the Amer
lean champion. vanquished Leon
Hourlier, the champion of France,
at the Velodrome oliver last night.
Hourlier, in magnificent form, put up
one of the greatest races of his ca
reer. The match went three heats.
Hourlier taking the first and the
Yankee champion taking the two fol-
lowing heats. In the first heat the
Frenchman led by a small margin
and Kramer won the next two heats
by about the same margin.
Hourlier Is the most popular rider
III France. and the big crowd TX
filled the winter track to itsI utmoSt
capacity went wild with delight when
their idol won the first heat. Hour
lier was carried from the track on
the shoulders of his countrymen and
showered with congratulations and
words of encouragement.
Kramer Looked Worried.
For the first time during his pres
ent campaign in Europe Kramer
looked worried. When he came on
the track for the second heat his lips
were drawn and there was sinister
stare in his eyes as he looked at his
| opponent and the crowd: but as he
mounted his wheel for the second en-
counter he was warmly cheered and
in turn bowed and smiled to the
crowd opposite the starting line.
After winning the second heat
Kramer was enthusiastically greeted,
although there was an unmistakable
air of disappointment discernible; but
! Kramer had made a most wonderful
ride, and although the French are
more or less partial In matters con-
corning their champions they evil
IDENTIFY felt that such ride deserved
recognition.
Deathiy Silence Greets Riders.
When the riders appeared for thu
third heat there was dea thly silence,
'HNhA ~ hNNSi PCi hhdCu Iilt DiH
phitheatre before. Hourlier had dis
played such strength In both of the
previous heats he appeared to have
a chance TO win, but the riders were
so evenly matched the Frenchmen
were absolutely devoid of condolences
In this heat both riders wanted to
ride from the front and the longest
sprint ever seen in a match race in
Paris ensued.
Kramer forced Hourlier to the front
at the start, but two laps from the
: finish he shot by the Frenohman.
Hourlier Immediately Jumped and got
as far as Kramer's elbows when the
Yankee picked up enough speed to
stall him off. For almost two laps
the riders rode neck and neck, with
Hourlier ON the outside The Yam
kee was the stronger and maintained
the lead to the finish, winning by
inches only.
Next Match Against Moretti.
Kramer's next match will be at
Geneva. Switzerland, and his ops
nent will be caesare Moretti, thu

WANT CUBS OWNED
BY HOME CAPITAL
Tener Says the Chicago Club
Should Be Controlled by
Windy City Men.
GOVERNOR IN NEW YORK

Governor John x. Tener, president
of the National League, paid a flying
visit to New York last night on bust
ness other than baseball. The execu-
tive said he had nothing further to
add to his statement regarding
Charles Il. Thomas. the newly elected
president of the Chicago Cubs, but
was inclined to believe that a man
occupying such a position should be
financially interested in the club.
Our work in Chicago is only half
DONE" said Governor Tener. "The
ousting of G. w Murphy was the big
half of the work. but I shall not rest
content until we have tho club con-
trolled by Chicago capital This, l
believe, will be a reality of the near
future. Several persons or syndicates
are in the field as prospective pur-
chasers. Each has an offer with some
sort of proviso attached except the
Connery folk, who made the highest
cash offer 10 date.
Il am one who believes that G. w.
Murphy did hold and own the con-
trolling interest in the Chicago Club.
| also am of the firm belief that he
no longer Is connected with the club
in any way"
