Atlanta, September 15.--(Special) The Barons evened the series with the Crackers this afternoon, when Omar Hardgrove came out on the large end of a to count in Thinning pitch CTS battle with Frank Browning. It was one of the best games of the To- cal season. Both pitchers were hit considerably. but they frightened in the pinches, Hardgrove with one exception, and Browning with two.
 The Crackers got one hit in every inning and two in the ninth and elov- enth. The Barons missed three innings, but they got three and two hits, re- spectively, in the innings that they tailed their runs.
 Red Stewart Stars
 The game was marked by brilliant fielding on many hard chances. The brightest star of Inc day was Red Stewart in right field for the Barons Red stopped three vicious drives by Cracker batsmen, any of which would have gone to the fence for the circuit Holding the batter to single, he sprinted fiercely scooped the ball up
  sien.
 He contributed running shoestring catch of Jennings line that robbed that worthy of hit and got three blows starting the eleventh with a drive for three sacks, scoring the win ming run.
 Roy Ellam and RiviDgton Bisland, the rival shortstops, had wonderful days in the field, while Harry Holland played the best second base that has been seen on the local field this season.
 Downing contributed couple of beau- tiful stops and throws and Waldron made banner play on McBride's vicious rap in the eighth, forcing a man at sec ond.
 Tyree, Stewart and Ellam led on the of fensve, the first named getting four blows and the last two three each. Tyree came up in the pinch in the tenth inning, after slamming out four safe drives, Hardgrove walking Eibel to get to him, and he grounded to Marcan for the third cut, with men on second and third.
 Many Sparkling Plays
 There were so many sparkling plays throughout and so much guod pitching as both teams had men on in nearly every inning that to enumerale them would take columns of space.
 The Crackers tallied their two runs in the opening session. Waldron worked Hardgrove for free ticket. Kircher hit to Eilam, who booted. Long sacrificed both up a base. Bisland walked filling the cushions. Jennings kicked in with tie pinch. scoring Waldron and Kircher. The Barons tied it in the second. Mcbride got the only base on balls that Browning issued.

How Bill Got Along

MAYHEM Bill arrived at the
w branch house of the
firm out West the first thing
that impressed him was the an
tiquated system of doing bust
ness in the office. The man
ager, an old man, who had
been with the firm many years,
at first resented Bills coming
out there to wake things up or
to brighten up the infeld a
bit, as Bill called it.
The clerks all seemed dopey
and stood around talking
about most anything except
what they were being hired
for. When Bill asked to see
the advertising account, the
manager told him he would
find it very small, as he be-
heved a firm as old as this one
and as we'll known didn t need
to advertise much.
Yes, said Bill, every one
knows a chicken lays an egg,
but if the hen didn't cackle at
the time she did it, they might
forget about it. So l think the
first thing we had better do is
to look into the best advertis-
ing mediums and let the PEG
pie know what we have to
sell.
Then Bill started on a sys-
tematic house cleaning, and at

TIE you stand at the North Pole
you can look in only one di-
rection-south. No matter
how you may twist around on
your heels, it is always toward
the South that your eyes are di-
rected. North, as a terrestrial
direction. has vanished. You have
arrived at the end of the north.
You are where it lives" Or else
we may say that north has sud
denly sprung into the sky, and is
now at an unattainable distance
directly over your head. A mo-
ment before your foot touched
the pole north was straight ahead
OF you, and you had all the four
cardinal points to choose from
east, west, north and south. Now
three of them have vanished, and
south alone remains. The re-
verse is true at the South Pole,
where all directions on the earth's
surface are dlke nOrLn.
The Turning Points.
In view of these facts, we may
speak OF the North and South
Poles as the lends of the earth"
They are the two turning points.
arrived at either one of which
there is no choice left but to start
toward the other.
Now, as everybody knows,
these ends of the earth have only
just been discovered, in the sense
OF being actually visited by man.
but already they have provided
enough wonders to fill many
books. speak now not of the
mathematical points called the
poles, but of the regions imme-
diately surrounding them. In the
north the pole seems to occupy
the center of a deep oceanic ba-
sin, covered with movable floor
of floating ice, while in the south
the pole is surrounded by hith-
erto almost hidden continent,
which turns out to be the Hottest
in mean elevation of any on the
globe, and which is buried under
an enormous accumulation of ice
and solidified snow.
Yet both are the abode Of life.
Oceanic creatures dwell in the
waters around the edges of, and
underneath, the mighty ice floors,
and birds and four-footed animals
inhabit the land areas. Every
where where a glimpse of ancient
conditions can be obtained evil
dence is seen that in former ages
both the polar circles included re-
gions in which temperate and
even tropical climates prevailed,
and which were inhabited by ami
mails and plants belonging to spe-
cies that now exist only in the
warmer parts Of the globe. Plain
ly a mighty revolution-one Of the
great mysteries of the past-has
occurred at each of the ENDS Of
the earth"
