right and High scored, Wingo reaching second on the throw-in Kaufman sent up weak hit to Barnhart, but Sammy l Mayer delivered in the pinch with a l one-base bingle to center and Wingo reg | istered for the third and last run of the ! inning.
 FAIR CHANGE TO SCORE 1 The Barons had fair chance to score ! in the third inning, but good pitching ! by Sheehan and sbit of fast fielding l by his teammates choked off the rally. l Stewart bounced a single off Sheehan' s glove and went to second when Steven- i son beat out a one-baser down the hot 1 corner alley. Barnhart hit to Martin and Stevenson was forced at second.
 Bernsen retired the side by popping out | to Wingo.
 | At this stage of the game Meeker was pitching in fine, style. but he lost some ! of bis effectiveness in the sixth inning
 when he started off the frame by groov- { ing one over the platter that Wingo laced 1 to left center for a three-cushion mara 1 thon. Having arrived at that station, it was a matter of only one pitched ball before the Atlanta clouter had crossed with the fourth run of the game, SCOT ing on Kauffman's sacrifice fly to left field. Mayer followed with a single, but he failed to stray beyond the first has, sock, as Damrau ana Haser were easy outs.
 In the eighth inning Meeker had never been convinced that Wingo was dais- ger ous hitter and he sent one straight over the platter, and the red-head land ed. Griffith chased the apple for a long distance, but the fence was too great an obstacle, and he was forced to watch the drive clear the bars by many feet. It wasn't the longest clout ever recorded at Redwood Park, but it trav- eled far enough to rank as a first-class clout, and Wingo was completely satis- fled. The Georgians had good chance to add to their string in the ninth inning, but the poke that would have caused damage was not forthcoming, and the game ended, to O.
 SECOND GAME e2- The Crackers brought up most of their artillery in the first game, and as result when Gal- InEher mounted the rubber for the second contest the inclination of the Frankmen to batter the horse hide was running at very low | ebb. The Atlantans wanted to hit bad enough, but Gallagher refused to "brcak" the Frankmen con- fidentIy hoped he would do, and finished as strong as he started, which is chirpipg quite few syI- fables.
 Slill VhdThlt, Willl IcCOIu cl llNc victories and one defeat, was picked ny Captain Kaufman as his one best bet for the. hurling honors and Cliff pitched a good game, but not quite as good as Gallagher and not good enough to win. He seems unable to beat the
 Rarons, as the locals hold two de-
 cisions over him in three starts.
