ATLANTAST|LL IN THE
LEAD IN SOUTHERN
CHAMPIONSHIP RACE
Barons Split Even in Six
Games-Sunday Law Pre-
vents Playing of
Double Bill

New Orleans, August 17.-Atlanta re-
manned in championship place at the
close of the sixteenth playing week to-
New Orleans trailing at second with
less than game handicap. And again
the pennant race was an Atlanta-New
Orleans affair.
Atlanta's split with Chattanooga
in a double header today kept the New
Orleans club from regaining the lead by
a double victory over Nashville.
With the exception of the loss of the
lead for day by Atlanta to New
Orleans. the places of the teams during
the week showed no changes The two
leading clubs lost more games than they
won.
Atlanta on he road trip, hit the skids
in the forepar- of the week after a long
and steady climb from fourth to first
place, and lost four straight games.
The record for the week was three vic
tories to five defeats, barely enough
wins to hold first place.
The Cracker slump began when Lit
tie Rock took two games and Memphis
gathered duet, calling down the mar
gin SO that New Orleans gained first
place. Atlanta came back strong the
next day and trimmed Memphis 10 to
s, and took championship place again.
Two wins over Chattanooga, which in
cluded one in the division of the double
header today with the Lookouts, com
pleted the Cracker card.
The New Orleans opportunity to fin
ish at first place this week was blocked
by the loss of four of seven games
played Memphis checked the Pelicans
once, Little Rock humbled them twice,
and yesterday Nashville won the open
ing game of a series from them. The
New Orleans win over Memphis Mon
day and the double header from Nash
vile today made the Pelican victory
record.
Little Rock improved in form after
a longtime slump, and again finished
third, this time with four victories to
two defeats. The wins were from the
circuit leaders, two from Atlanta and as
many from New Orleans. The two de-
feats were administered yesterday by
Birmingham in a double header. The
withdrawal of the Sunday privileges at
the Camp Pike Field prevented the
scheduled Baron-Traveler double bill to-
day.
Chattanooga again finished at fourth
place after an even break in six games
Mobile. leading the second division, is
close behind Chattanooga. The Bears
won lllTee OIL seven SdiCo pay GU, ahioh6
which was 10-inning victory over Mem
phis today.
The Chicks, with a bill of eight games,
divided them equally and remained sixth
in the percentage table. Memphis split
a duet with New Orleans won two of
three from Atlanta, and took one of
three from Mobile.
Birmingham finished seventh with an
equal number of victories and defeats in
nix games.
Nashville with five wins to three losses
remained last IN the seasons race.

PELS TAKE DOUBLE
HEADER FROM VOLS
Four Nashville Pitchers
Are Used, But Fail to
Stop Pels'

Nashville. Tenn, August Hitting
four Nashville pitchers, New Orleans
took both games of double header
here this afternoon, before the largest
crowd of the season. The Vols did not
play the usual steady game that they
have been playing for the past week
while the Pels were fighting for each
game.
Hodge started the first game for
Nashville, but after four runs had been
scored of him, he was taken out in the
fifth. The Pels continued 10 hit Deca-
tur the same as Hodge, and scored three
runs off his delivery. Torkelson held
the Vols safe at all times, and was
especially tight in the pinches. Lanka-
nau was batted out of the box in the
first inning and Jonnard finished the
game. Three runs being scored off
each of them. Score:

Revolving of Sunday baseball privileges
at Camp Pike prevented yesterdays dou-
lie header with the Travellers. The
Barons are scheduled to play four games
with the Little Rock team i'll three days
They played two Saturday and in all
probability will play two more today.
The Travellers seemed to be going
pretty nicely until they bumped up
against the Barons. They were begin
ming to look like pennant prospectives,
but the double bill they lost to the
Barons hurt their chances not little.
If they lose two today we might as
well count them out of the fight.
The Crackers are not making the show
ing they did for quite a while They
have been slumpng pretty badly for
pennant scrappers lately, barely playing
500 ball.
1t must have broke Chattanooga
heart yesterday to lose that second
game. After winning the first game
they held the Crackers scoreless until
the seventh, when Styles came up and
knocked homer, tieing the score. Shee-
han. the star pitcher of the Crackers.
came up Immediately after Styles and
knocked another circuit clout, winning
the game.
Those 5000 people who were present at
that game must have raised an awful
howl when the Crackers knocked those
two homers in the second game. We
know from past experiences how it feels
to be robbed at the last moment, and
we can fully sympathize with the Look
out fans.
Mobile and Chattanooga seem to be
having quite a scrap deciding ownership
of fourth place. They are running neck
and neck for the honors. The Barons
themselves are only five games from
first division, and have been playing
fair ball for the last six or seven games
at least in comparison to their record
of the few weeks preceding.
The Reds caught theirs yesterday

Two generations ago the sensation OF
the flinging world was Johnny Ward.
Pitching for Providence in 1879, he won
Go games for the remarkable average of
1902. In all baseball history only two
men, Charles Radbourn and John Clark
son ever have turned in more victorious
in single season than did Ward in 1879.
Yet Wards greatness as a hurler Is al
most overshadowed by the brlliancy of
his shortstopping work in later years.
And Ward began playing short only af-
ter many who assumed that he could do
nothing but pitch figured that his base
ball usefulness was over.
The latest glowing example of con-
verted player is George Sisler of the
Browns. The pitching of this youth
while with the University of Michigan,
was the thing that attracted big league
scouts. Because of his supposed useful
ness as a moundsman, Sisler was given
a trial in the big league. But quickly
he demonstrated remarkable hitting
ability. 1t seemed shame to have him
in the game only occasionally. So the
Browns put him on first and the st
Louis fans today challenged the world
to produce a man who remotely classes
with Siser in all-round first-base play.

Many of the players who gained indy

man hadn't sent him to the intield.
Larry remained there for only short
time and then another emergency arose.
A second baseman was needed, and
Lajoie was tried out.
At the start it was feared that the
Frenchman was too big and too awkard
to succeed at second where agility is
the vital asset. But Laioie demonstrated
almost from the first day that naturs
had intended for him to play the second

years his work there made his name a
