Hittie Rock at Nashville.
 New Orleans at Mobile,
 Atlanta. Juno 2i.-tSpecia1) )-The Crackers divided double bill with the Birmingham Barons here this afternoon, in spite of the efforts of practically the entire Baron Foster. After the Crackers had dropped the first game by the score of to l, they came back and won the second in Gne of the most thrilling seven Lnnings of baseball and rainstorm tsna has been seen op the local lot this year
 $ The second game of the afternoon was the real ball game of the double bll because there was more actual baseball played per minute than the HseraEc cash customer expects In the Southern loop. There was real pitch ing. real hitting. real base running snd exhibitions of the use of that baseball breins.
 Whifey in Form
 The first game. considering the seora, was a rather listlcss affair, and the real feature of the fray was the Iitciing of Lefty Whitehill. This ehnp appears to be pitcher who works best when he is crowded hard est. and In number of the innings the Cracisers would threaten to score. or get this fork-hander into hut weather and he would proceed to siants that 1t has ever been the pleasure nf this correspondent to look at. His fast ball--that he used about three times during the battle simply sizzled when it crossed the pan. M
 Incidentally this wrong handler held the alleged hard hitting locals to four scattered hits.
 Crackers Score Once
 The Crackers scored but once dur ing this fray and from the way that the later innings looked it seemed that Whitehill was just nice to John Suegs. his brother hurler of the Cracker clan.
 In the third inning, suggs walks casually to the plate after two arc down and casually. oh so very casu- ally. nroceeds to bump one of White hills offerings to the scoreboard, he pulled up at third undcr the excel lent advice of Chief Mentor Rari- den. who was coaching at third and trotted. rather rapidly across the pan with the tying run on ock's single to right.
 These consecutive hits seemed to affect the aplomb of the Baroniai hurler and he proceeded to walk Kiueman and Guyon. loading the bases. Mayer then grounded out and whItehiu's seconds labored over him in the intermisslon. and he came hack .strong holding the Crackers rtlcss until the eighth inning. when they got. one skinny little single to right also one In the ninth, But oven though it v.as the first man up in each ef these innings that garn- cred the smnsh. there were no more tallle~.

 The Barons scored again in the seventh and then, just to keep from getting out of practice, they repeated in the eighth and scored two more In the ninth. After the seventh. Il looked as If John Suggs had de- ciphered the handwriting on the wall, and his old shoots had lost their zip and curve, and herein lies the reason for the losing of the first game by this 5 to 1 margin.

Second Game

Between the rainstorm that inter- ferred with the second encounter and the article of baseball that both organizations displayed, the cash cus- toners stayed until the last man was out in the seventh and the heartfelt gasps of relief as the last man went out were of sufficient force to cause the grandstand to sway gently to and fro.
 There was nothing in the way of scoring in the second contest until the second inning, when Harper, first up, walked, stole second, and went to third on Clarkes single to right that Gnyon sent in so fast that Harper thought that there was no use in trying to stretch out. Kane scored Harper with long sacrifice fly for the first counter.
 Dutch Starts It
