PUGILISTIC POW WOW

Those Firemen sho* do play ball for crip
ples. They gave Vaughn a hard light all

If the Crackers can't win the pennant
they cau certainly make It Interesting for
the rest of tho contestants.
The war lb the Houtbern V«eague la on,
and an sure as the sun sets In the west
something Is going to drop.
Why don't Urn administration papers ad
vance some run non why Kavnimtigh should
be -re-elected? Instead of attempting to act
na press agents for ‘KaVnnnugh, they har
angue the writers of the opposition and
call them "liars and scoundrels." They
know exactly where they arc nnd they ore
on the defensive.
As sure ns the Houthern League begin*
operations next season a new president will
Im nt the head.—Birmingham News.
If Utile Hock goes out of the league.
ten It Is likely that President Knvsnnugh
will resign. And It seems rather certain
that Little Bock will go.
The Georgian has certainly broken Into
the limelight In a hurry. The proposition
to go to the Houth Atlantic has stirred up
the natives. Well, 1 guess nmyl>e New Or
leans, Hhreveport, Memphis et al. are not
quaking In their boot*. The Houthern
Longue without Blrmlnghiun nnd Atlauta
would Iko like n tmnt without motive power.
The Houthern would uot last alx weeks af
ter the withdrawal of the spinal column.—
Birmingham ledger.
Wouldn't n league made up of Hhreveport,
Moutgoinery, Little Bock, Nnshvllle, .Mem
phis and New Orleans be n pitiful object?
Without Atlanta and Birmingham there
would uot be much Houtbern League.
The New Orleans papers have now taken
up the tnsk of proving that Monsieur
Charles Frank Is the most gentlemanly and
sportsman like bull player now'gracing (7)
the game In Dixie. After having completed
this Job these same writers expect to
prove conclusively that the moon Is simply
a hunk of llmburger Instead of a hogshead
cheese. The latter will be a cinch In com
parison with the former.—Macon Telegraph.
They'll prove lb too. to their OWN ant*
(•faction. And then they will accuse all
those who do not believe It of being fools,
liars and dope fiends.
The New Orleans Dally States says that
Atlanta will not get out of the league. The
Chnrleys say that she will l*j thrown out.
Since when did Yhe Charleys know what
tho directors nre going to do? Did Charley
Frank tell his two Chnrleys on The Htates
Hint he wns going to throw out Atlanta?
Atlnntn Is a better bnll town than New Or
leans, nnd If cither lind to go out- Birming
ham would prefer that the yellows turn
In their checks first. Mississippi mud Is
being »lrunk down III New Orleans and It
Is having u yellow efrect on certain persons.
—Birmingham Ledger.
If current reports are true, the baseball
writer of Tho Ledger Is In error. Humor
has It that they don't drink water In New
Orleaus—nor smoke tobacco.
The more wo see of Atlanta the more we
feel sorry for her.—Montgomery Journal.
If Montgomery'• sympathy was not so
humorous It would be galllug.
Yes, It Is true Birmingham delights In
winning from Atlanta. It Is Just a good
feeling that can't be helped. Winning and
drubbing, however, are two different things.
The local fans witnessed the latter duriug
tho series Just closed.
Atlanta Is playing gingerless. Too many
errors nre lielng -made and the pitchers
nre not being supported. Hoffman, ou third,
Is nn amateur of the first water. Wallace.
In the field, apparently Is uot n giant nt the
bat. He fields moderately well.—Binning-
limn News.
If The News considers It a "drubbing"
when n te.iin win* four game* by a total
margin of five runs, wonder what It would
coustder close games?

Saratoga, N. T., Aug. 11.—The Sara
toga Special, which together with the
old time Travers Stakes, sufficed to
draw one of the moat notably brilliant
throngs ever seen upon an American
race course here this afternoon, la re
garded In turf circles as the only real
sporting race on the calendar.
While It la a rich fixture, there are a
score of other events Infinitely more
valuable. For Instance, the owner of
tho winning horse in the Saratoga Spe
cial yesterday received about 318,609,
while In the Great Trial at Sheepa-
head Bay, 320,000 went as first money,
and In the recent Brighton Handicap
old Captain “Sam" Williams took down
320,000, after the late lamented Ram's
Horn had come home on the bit. The
charm of the Saratoga Special Is Its
true sporting character and the fellow
ship which attaches to It.
Every owner who cares to participate
In the race enters what Is called e
“nomination" along about the early
days of .May. A nomination consists
of naming two colta or fillies. For In
stance, two nominations would make
four horses eligible for the contest,
and so on.
An owner sends to the secretary
the Saratoga Association for tho | m .
provement of the Breed of Horae, ,
check for 31.000 for each nomination
The race Is for 2-year-old fillies, cu.
and geldings, at 6 furlongs. The onn-
er of the first horse home takes the
entire sweepstakes and a beautiful sil
ver tankard worth 22,600.
The Saratoga Special waa conceived
and established by the late William
C. Whitney. Last year Mohawk II
won It for the Messrs. 8andford of
New Amsterdam, N. Y. In 19ot
James R. Keene's peerless 8y,onby
captured It, while In 1201 John E. Mad
den carted tjie silver trophy to Ken
tucky on the strength of Aristocracy
getting home first. And no active race
goer forgets the year before thst.
when the Whitneys and the Kecn»s
fought It out In stern rivalry, wil.

lowed a warm aftermath.
The winner of today's renewal of
the Saratoga Special wilt no doubi to

DISMISSAL OF BUCKLEY
CREATES LOTS OF TALK
Other cities lieslde Atlanta ore Incensed
over the summary dismissal of Umtdre
Buckley. In fact, outside of New Orleaus
and the dtle* dictated to by Charley
Frank, the opinion Is almost hut not quite
unanimous that Buckley wns the best um
pire In the league, and that there was no
Justification for Ills dismissal.
Here nre a few of the oplntoun:
Birmingham Ago-IIerald: Many of Pres
ident Knvnnnugh's supporters now bellevo
that Frank ha* Influence over the league
president. It 1s not that he suspended an
umpire that the criticism comes. It Is toe-
cause he suspended a man who did not
let managers and players rule the field, and
loecause It Is believed by many of the
fans that the suspension was fathered by
Manager Frank.
Birmingham News: The dismissal of Um
pire Buckley from the Houthern' League
was the direct result of Knvaunugh-Frnnk
politics. Tho young l»oy wns the victim
of prejudice, and hu suffered because he
wns honest.
Roliert Ilsugh, president of the Birming
ham club: "The complaint of the players
naglnst Buckley was the best recommenda
tion the official could have received."
New Orleans States: The announcement
made this morning that Buckley Is no
longer a esar of tho Houthern League met
with the approval of the New Orleans fans/
nnd President Karanaugh wns commended
for his action In dismissing tho youthful
umpire. New Orleans people who saw the
Atlanta series In Atlanta a week or no
ago state that Buckley deliberately rob-
l»ed the Naw Orleans club In the Inst two
games played In that town.
Montgomery Journal: Karanaugh la
after more umpires. He got rid of about
the best one. In our opinion.
Birmingham Age-Hernld: The Fast will
now believe beyond A doubt that Frank
holds a heavy hand over Judge Knvnnnugh.
If Is now believed that Frank only could
have Induced the president • to get rid of
the befit man of his staff—the most con
scientious man, at any rate.
Birmingham Ledger: The good acts of
President Knvanatgh and Charley Frank
can Im» counted on one hand. Of these,
tho greatest that they ever did was the
firing of Umpire Buckley.
Augusta Tribune: President Knvnnnugh
has fired Umpire Buckley from the .South
ern Longue. This young man wns consid
ered the best umps In the circuit, but !*.
cause he Incurred Charley Frank's dis
pleasure, his summary dismissal followed.
Hhreveport Times: Umpire Buckley haa
nt last Iwen given the tin-can degree. Al
though his work has been unsatisfactory
all season. It Is most probable that the
habit of cursing bnll playern on the field
wns most directly responsible for his dis
missal.
Umpire Buckley, In letter to President
Knvnnnugh: “I regret very much that I
niu no longer a Houthern League offi
cial. I know that, nt least, three mana
gers had no use for me, not because of
iny work, but because I was young. Now
I itm no more on umpire In the Houthern
League. It may plenae some parties, but
I nm sure they are few. I am about to
leave the Houth. I am satisfied my release
haa not met with the approval of thou-
sands. I thank those most sincerely who
have already assured me that I was uot
deserving of what I got after almost fire
months’ service performed In a fearless
and honest manner."
