TWO HOMERS WERE
FEATURE OF GAME
Nick oulIop and King Hold Crackers
Down-BetzePs Fielding 10
Sensational.


The Louisville hurlers showed con-
siderable class yesterday and the Col
onels took an interesting game from
the Atlanta Crackers by score of IL
to 9.
"oldtimer' Nick Cullop took unto
himself the burden of outguessing the
Cracker batsmen and succeeded well
for four innings. However, little bad
play, a free ticket and two hits en-
abled the Southern leaguers to score
three runs. With two men on the
sacks Ritter hit one OF Cullop's offer
ings on the nose and the ball took a
long ride over the left field wall for
parts unknown. King relieved the old
master and held Charley Franks men
hitless and runless' for three frames,
but was touched for four safe bingles
and three runs In the last inning.
Gould See Trademark.
Bedgood started in the box for At
lanta and wiggled and wobbled along
until the end Of the fifth stanza. With
the count 6-3 against him he was
yanked and the Crackers star hurler,
Suggs, went in. He was suffering with
a sore arm and lobbed the ball over
the plate so weakly that one could see
the trademark on it. Suggs pitched
eight consecutive balls to Meyer and
King. He would have got by all right
at that but for an outfield error. When
the Colonels started off the seventh
with three hits in succession, one a
homer, Suggs waved a fond adieu to
the fans. Bolt, a youngster, finished
the game.
Homer on Empty Bases.
Carrot Topped Al" Ellis got a
round trip clout in the seventh inning
at the expense of Suggs. Unfortu-
nately the bases were empty. Bruno
Bethel was the star fielder of the, day.
He handled four assists and four put
outs without an error. He ran into
right field on one occasion and, grab
bling Bernsen's hot grounder with one
hand he made an accurate peg to Kirke
and got the runner by inches.
wild Bill Rariden performed behind
the plate Gor Atlanta during part OF
!. the game and showed as much stuff
as he did when he was Garry Her
mann'g star catcher. His pegs were
perfect. Bill knocked Third Stacker
Schepner off his feet twice with red
hot liners. On his third time up he
lifted q high fly to center which "Pig-
BY" Lamb muffed.
Another neat worker was "Chile'
/ Francis, former Florida State back
and also hit q clean double off Bed
good.
Score Early.

opening inning. Lamb strolled and
Bethel sacrificed. Massey doubled to
center and Lamb counted. Bedgood
threw wild to first base to catch Mas
sey mapping and the runner trotted
TO second. Kirke singled to center and

BILE killing. In the fifth inning Combs

afr. Massey and Kirke were passed,
Combs being forced in. Ellis doubled
and Lamb and Massey scored. Kirke
tried for home and was eliminated,
Graft to Rariden. Schepner sent Ellis
across the dish with a neat single.
King walked in the sixth inning Lamb
offered himself on the altar and when
Carlyle dropped Massey's fly King
scored, Ellis began the lucky. seventh
with his homer. Bally doubled and
singles by Schepner and Meyer sent
him across. King cleared the bases
with q long triple. -.
~. The Crackers were blanked until the
fifth chapter. Rariden hit safely, Bed
good got on by fielder's choice and
Ritter sent one over the fence. In the
last inning the Georgians staged
rally but the lead was too large to
overcome. Pinch hitter ELAN dou-
bled to center and Chester Schmidt hit
to the box and Wahu Guyon singled
through first base and ELAN scored.
Ritter fouled out to Schepner. Mayer
hit to Ballenger who elected to retire
Guyon at the keystone. Smitty scor-
ing on the play. Bernsen cut the
grass with burning drive past Bet
gel and Mayer counted. Carlyle
tapped to King for the final out.
