Tho best played game here this sea :
-. was staged yesterday afternoon
-, tho Louisville Colonies and the At
w., Crackers, the former winning Sy
".1 Pitchers of both teams were
-,,,os, jnvincible, seven hits being
S..,. oCf the Cracker boxmen and five
10 bnlles off McCarthy's hurlers.
The southern leaguers took the lead
=, ,sr third inning. Rariden began with
Iouhle to right. 'ook third on Mar
.toy. safe hit (by the way, his first
T., ,,yeu years. and scored when the
Io,rv p,cher was forced at second by
Guyon, -
:, - Colonels were blanked until the
.,yantb inning. In that frame, Ma
,,I.r who lad relieved Marshall, weak
pn,5 ss,er two were out and was
,oIcbed for a single by Massey. Jay
-, EEr&e then parked one ovec The
r,abtreld fence, and the game was
sewsd up.
Ran lineup, star pitcher of the
,r,sr,can association last season,
tied in the box for Louisville and
en- nv very we'll for four innings, Civ
i,v no three hits. He was relieved by
ros DeEerry, who gave up two puny
singles in the last five innings.
DswAy Msrshall was in first-class
co,dtlon, and turned the Coionels
nacI without a hit for the first three
innings Only one player reached first
6ase and that was on an error by Rit-
ter Three hits were made in the next
TWO innings, but snappy fielding pre-
vented any runs. Napier took UP the
iob in the sixth and was met by
Kirkes homer. I
Batters OF both outfits hit the ball
hard but the outfielders grabbed them.
The Atlanta gardeners made six put
outs while the Kentucky men discour-
aged eight batters. Piggy" Lamb has
a busy day, mailing four flies. The lit
tie fellow got under Carlyle's blow. Ia
beled for three bases and, leaping into
the air, snagged the sphere. Second
Stacker Ritter caught Bally's steaming
liner with two on bases in the fourth.
Atlanta had the bases filled on two
occasions, with two out, but each time
the next batter was not equal to the
emergency Carlyle. the rookie left
fielder who was little unsteady. on
Saturday, showed up well yesterday.
He got two high ones, but had hard
luck with the stick. On one occasion
Lamb robbed him of a sure triple. !
Again, In the third inning, with the |
bases full and two out, Carlyle put one |
over the fence, but it went foul by a |
few feet. He eventually struck out.
When Guyon STROBE to the plate and |
faced lineup it was Indian against In |
dian. Lineup struck him out in the I
initial inning, but Guyon got revenge
later when he brought Rariden across
The plate. Guyon was Georgia States
star football player last season and Is
also very promising as an outfielder.
He knows where to go to get the hits
in his territory.
Roy ELAN batted in the pinch again
yesterday but failed to make a hi.
Roy is field captain and is directing
the team In the absence of Manager
Charley Frank. who is i'll.
The Colonies left last night for Biz
mingham, where they will play the
Barons today. They will play in Nash
VILE on Tuesday and Wednesday and
VIII then proceed to Louisville, where
they will open a season with the Cincy
Reds
Manager Mccarthy and the Ken
lucky players expressed themselves as
very well satisfied with this city and
'ner treatment here, and stated that
'ne only thing needed to bring a major
league here for training was to i'm
prove the outfield at Maxent park. The
Guy commissioners will probably do
mis- during this season.
