their old way of losing to Kid Eipcr-
fields Travellers This team has always
been a thorn in the side of the Ba-
ronial outfit and shows promise Of
continuing so. AS the mouse is unto
the elephant, so is Little Rock unto
Birmingham
Outfielder Summa got another hit
yesterday. and a triple at that. Sat"
is said to be a hitter of remarkable
ability and ought to help the Barons
along considerably. lie is a fast run
ner, as is very obvious to the ones who
witness his performances.
We notice that Milton Reed, star
performer for Atlanta. played in yes
terday's game against Memphis As
Milton is supposed to leave the Atlanta
team while they are in Memphis and
return to the army, it is only natural
to suppose that yesterdays was his
last game withs the Crackers. AS big
league scouts have had their optics
focused on him recently, it is not prob
able that he will play with the Crack
ers again. We recognize Atlanta's
claim of great loss when Reed de-

willing to let Coleman use Hasty, ex-

clear between themselves who a

We have got to hand it to negroes
for getting out and supporting a ball
team. Redwood has been packed full
OF negroes for each game which has
been played there between the negro
teams. 1t has been estimated that
there were as many as 5000 people
present at the last games played.
The Atlanta Cubs are to play the
BeAsemer negro nine in Bessemer this
afternoon and tomorrow afternoon.
There are rumors of series to be ar
ranged between the New York Cuban
Giants and the Atlanta Cubs, to be
