 Will Birmingham land the second prize
 Mobile is yet to be heard from, and re- ports indicate the town down on the bay certainly had some mob out to see the first game.
 If Mobile has bested Memphis or New Orleans. and there's a strong chance, then one of these two cities ought to be showed in the second division next year. For there are two cups. The first one is in a contest between Atlanta, Birming- ham, Memphis and New Orleans The second between Chattanooga, Mobile, Lit tie Rock and Nashville
 Figures were difficult to obtain last night, there being some sort of an agree, ment whereby President John D. Mar tin should give out the official attend ance dope.
 But it is not believed Mobile can over come the Birmingham figures, which are known to be something less than 5000.
 New Orleans had less than 1000, and Memphis reports slightly above 5000.
 It may be easily admitted, however, that Atlanta had every advantage over Birmingham in the suspicious brand ot weather handed out to the Crackers for the first game on home grounds. Yes terday was the most ideal day of spring, warm as midsummer, the skies clear and the sun pouring down.

In the final frame, with the count to in favor of the Vols, big John Peters started a rally when he sim gled to left field. PitSer Henderson. who relieved ieft-nanded Whitehill iu the seventh, went out on a fly ball to right field. Stewart walked and Croll singled. The bases were full when Stevenson's single brought Peters over with run.
 With the sacks still damned, Bern- sen hit short fly to left field and a1l the runners started moving. Dun ming, patroling the left garden for the Vols, saw so many runners scrambling around that he got all bumfoozled and dropped the ball Stewart had already crossed the plate when Dun mink picked up the ball and threw it to Anderson at third. forcing Croll Andy, in turn, firing 1t to Ballinger at second in time to force Stevenson as he came into the bag. It brought the gamc abruptly 10 an end and saved a situation which looked de- cidedly bad from local standpoint.
 VOLS FIRST HOMER
 Kitty Wickham inaugurated the circuit drive habit, polling the first homer of the Dell season. Wick picked out a neat one in the very first in- ming and slapped it over the wall iu right field for the circuit, bringing in Andy Anderson ahead of him. Andy Tad just lined to deep left for two sacker.
 The Vols put over another in the second. Jonnard singled to left, went to second on a wild pitch and ad- vanced to third when Ellam hit through short Anderson brought him in with a sacrifice fly to right field.
 Big Eddie Tomlin, late of the De- troit Tigers, had the Alabamians on his hip in the early stages of the game and they failed to dent the dish until the fifth. Only one single had been registered off his delivery until that time. Roy Ellam gave the Moleys a starter in that round with his second huff of the game when Griffith hit one toward short. Summa singled, and on Wickham's throw to Anderson Andy let the ball get by, Griffith SCOT ing.
 The Vols put over one in their half of the fifth. Burke and Ballinger walked, and when Cunning attempted to sacrifice his, too, went safe and the bases were full, Greens sacrifice fly permitted Burke to score.
 OUR SECOND RUN
 The Barons' second counter resulted gled in succession. Silva, who re- placed Summa in center field, sim gIed to left, and scored Ellis.
 The seventh was the Vols big round. They batted around, gather ing three counters before they com- pleted the circuit. Tomlin smashed a long drive to the right field dump which Griffith muffed. He took sec- ond on a wild pitch. Ei1am sacrificed. Anderson beat out an infield hit and stole second a moment later. Wick ham drew pa&s. Cunning beat out an infield hit to Stewart. on which Wickham scored. Greene beat out an other infield hit and Burke counted Peters holding the ball. Jonnard forced Greene at second, Croll to Stewart
 The final Vol run came over in the seventh Tomlin Nit along single to center and advanced on a wild pitch. Ellam sacrificed him to third, Steven son to Stewart. Anderson walked and Wickham's single scored Tomlin.
 The third Baron marker resulted in the eighth when Ellis doubled and scored on Griffith's single. Then came that bloody Baron ninth already de- scribed.

 Fierce Struggle With Tech Boys

Auburn, April r.-(SpeciaI.)-Th Au- burn team turned the tables on Tech to- day, and to the tune of Eat Elm Up, Tiger" won today's ball game. by score of to 4.
 It was a nerve-ra cking game, the score never varying more than one point or difference from start to finish, and the deciding run by Ollinger was not maoe until the last half of the ninth inning.
 The teams were tied to at the end of the fourth inning and again at the close of the first half of the ninth, to. A.
 The game differed from yesterday record in the absence of close decisions and the consequent ragging of the um- hire and players For Auburn, Johnston struck out six men, while permitting four hits. two of which were two-oag- gers. Spivey struck out only one man and allowed six base hits and one three bagger.
 Tech began scoring in the second in- ming. putting Webb and Turner across the plate before Johnston was able to re- tire the side by strikinr out Ingram ana leaving two men on bases Again in the third inning Techs star player, Barron gained first on an infield hit .stole sec ond and ran in home on Webbs s two bagger over third base. These three runs were all Tech was able to accom- plish for the next five innings, the side retiring in one-two-three order or per haps with one man left on base
 In the ninthS. however, they tied tho score 4 to 4. Turner gained first on base hit, advanced to second on Spivey 3 sacrifice. Mitchell struck out With two down, Tech put in their pinch hitter, who lined out two-bagger into le1t field, allowing Turner to score. Ingram finished by striking out.
 Auburn in the second inning put Full ghum across the plate by means of an in- field hit. Creers sacrifice and three base hit by Whpple.
 Again in the fourth Lassiter scored on a base hit. a sacrifice by Fulghum and a wild throw by Turner to first base. This was followed by another run by Creel, who gained second on bad throw to first Although committing bad error in running Whipple off third, he was brought home by Ollinger's hit to the outfield.
 In the fifth inning Auburn gained one score over Tech by putting Barnes across the plat, but was forced, to retire with Lassiter on third and Creel on sec ond. In the eighth inning Barron in centerfield caught all three Auburn men out on flies to his widely covered ter ritory.
 In the ninth, with the score to 4, Ol- finger got to first infield hit. CreeFs base hit to centerfield put him on second. Johnston hit to the infield and Greet was thrown out at second on fielder's choice, Ollinger advancing to third. Johnston stole second.
