Win Ballou, Walter" diate successor, was the vic some fluky hitting, when the Ty overcame a National lead in the enth. Allen Russell stopped the Tys: ers in the eighth after Ballou weak ened and Fred Marberry, who pitched in the minth would not have yielded a score had he been properly supported, The Tygers got 16 hits off the| quartet of Griff hurlers in the open- | ing encounter, while the home crew | got 12 off Ken Holloway, right-| hander, and Ed Wells, left-hander. One of ‘the safeties off Holloway., who worked through the first innin, was a homer knocked over the ri field wall by Goose Goslin in the third | round.

O'Rourke bounded toward Bucky Harris, but Umpire Dinneen, | who was posing around second base, | interfered with the middle-sacker and the ball rolled to a single, scoring Rigney with the fourth run of the frame.

BY JOHN B. FOSTER. EW YORK. September 18—One of the hottest minor icague cham N pionships in base ball history was won Thursday by Atlanta in the Southern Association. Their lead now is such that they arc as- sured contenders for the Dixic championship in the post-season series with Fort Worth. This will make a longer trip than Fort Worth has had | in the past, but the fact that Atlanta is in the fight will mean variety and heightened interest. Baltimore has the International League champion won for the seventh time—a record which Jack Dunn set out to achieve in the Spring, and he has made the best fight of the last five vears.
