Why Birmingham won the pennant Is shown In the fifct thnt In tin* Inter-club serh*s. the Barons were victorious fn every Instance save one. In other words, Bir mingham won n majority of the games played from every club In the league save Memphis. Montgomery and Nashville and Little Bock worn easy for tho Barons, while Atlanta, New Orleans nud Shreve port were lmt n trifle weaker pickings. From Atlanta, Birmingham won twelve games and lost seven; from Little Book, won thirteen and lost six; from Memphis, won seven and lost eleven; from Mont gomery, won fifteen and lost five; from Nashville, won sixteen and lost four; from New Orleans, won eleven and lost eight; from Shreveport, won twelve and lost five. This tabulation shows thnt Birmingham won efghty-slx games and lost forty-six, a percentage of .652. The figures are offi cial.—Birmingham Ago Ilcrnid.

The nppllcnnt had seen the bat tinring one of the games and hnd seen Phil lift n hot one Into the bleacher* when such a hit saved tunny a fan heart trouble. Phil eyed the lint and then tho letter. Then he (miked hack nt the hat. "What! Me sell that bat? Huh!" he snorted, "I guess thnt fellow don't know what he ft talking nbaut. Why, do you know,” he asked, turning to n friend, "what I do with that bat In the winter time?" No, the friend didn't know. • Well. I'll tell you." said Phil, tighten ing the willow tinder hls nrm.

I love thnt bnt and liellero my wife Is Jenlous of It because I do think so much of It. Hell It? Sucre bleu," he burst forth, Inpslug Into Canuck French in order that he might better express himself. And Phil patted the hat lovingly.—Memphis Nows-Sclmltar. Ed Hanlon is out with n statement thnt Baltimore will have nn Eastern league tenm again next season.

Wee Willynm Keeler, the Yankees’ famous right fielder, the most scientific batsman bnlldom ever owned, Is the only player In fimt eoinpnny who hasn't been struck ont this season. That's a phenomenal record, rci«icinhcr|pg that Keeler has been In the frn.v day in and slny out, and thnt the Yan kees hare fought more than 100 battles. It's all the more wonderful when one consider* thnt batters nowadays hnve two strikes on them nil tho time. It's a goo.1 estimate that Keeler has two strike* on him twice In every game. But he never swing* and tnlssc* for tho third. Nor does he allow the pitcher to sneak one across on him. Keeler fanned Just once In 1906. He's yet to be whiffed out till* campaign.—Exchange. ANNUAL LEAGUE MEETING WILL BE QUITE PEACEFUL Will Hamilton, generally known a, ’Ham,” has a list of questions on the sporting page of The New Orleans Item. Theae questions he considers will come up at the annual meeting of the South ern League, which will be held In Birmingham in the middle of Decern her. Here they are: “No. 1. Will a movement to have Birmingham's alleged Illegal victories thrown out be started when the league directors meet? "No. 2. Will a movement then be started to reduce the salary limit or In crease it? "Np. 3. Will President Kavanaugh have opposition to hls re-election? '■No. 4. Will Little Rock and Shreve port continue In the .league or will Mobile and Chattanooga make over- tures to the association, which can not be rejected? “No. 5. Will Manager Frank win the three protests which he has lodged against Memphis and other clubs?” To all except the first part of the fourth question the answer Is most em phatically NO. As to the first question, there Is no chance but that Birmingham will get away safely with that crooked Castro deal. It was contrary to the constltu- of the Southern League, contrary to the by-laws of the National Asso ciation and contrary to all rules of baseball decency. It was taking an unfair advantage of every club in the league and setting a precedent which will do no good to tho Southern League. But Vaughn will get away with it. There Is no disposition to win any pennants by post-mortem examinations. Those "Castro games" should-have been protested soon after they were played and the matter thrashed out nt pnee. As no such step was taken they may now be considered as formally dropped. Thero will probably be some talk on the question ot salary limit at the coming meeting, but nobody on the Inside seems to expect that anything will be done. The present limit Is no better and no worse than any other, when it Isn't lived up to. The attempt to keep the teams of the league inside a salary limit has failed. This has bean the history of all leagues. Unless President Kavanaugh has something unexpected to spring—some facts brought out by tho league au ditor, Mose Wormaer, or something that the public does not as, yet dream of, then the salary limit question will not ruffle the Smooth waters of the meet ing as it did last year. It Is absurd to ask If President Kav anaugh will have any opposition for re-election. He will not. That is set tled right now. The election goes to the judge on a sliver platter. There may be those who do not think that the Judge makes the best president In the world, but If such there be they realize that for the present they aro in the hopeless minority. Little Rock and Shreveport wilt con tinue 1ft the league. Several of the other clubs would be glad to get them out. but this li Impossible, practically, unless some outside club buys them out. And none of the slubs suggested are likely to do this. As to No. 5. No, Manager Frank will not win those three protests because he will not ask that the protests be given a hear ing. That Dutchman does not care about games won that way, and If he had wanted them he would have put up hls howl earlier. Judged by nuch Information as Is ob tainable, the coming meeting of the / Southern League will be the most peaceful which the league has ever known. The present president will be re-elected, the pennant will be awarded to Birmingham, the league wilt wrangle a bit over the division of the various funds, a lot of words will be used In telling about the desirability of living . up to the salary UmlL I And there you are.

" went out Into the Juniper* with an other fellow a year or two ago and came near never eomlng back. We went with a team up In Virginia, and I wa* playing under the name of 'Jones,' or ‘Brown'—I forget which. I wa* pitching and the fellow who went with me waa catching. "A big jasper came up to bnt and the catcher sung out to me, 'Hit him In the hend.' I sent up a teaser around hls neck and the next one aa a high one In, close In. He ducked hi* head Into tt and It came near knocklpg the life out of him. He went to first and an other ond came up. “ 'Give It to this one In the same place,’ howled the catcher. , "I did not want to hit the fellow, but the third ball 1 threw up landed In the batter's neck. He, too, took a base. The third man came up with a bat In hls hand, and, stopping outside the batter's box, warned me If I hit him he would get me with the bat. I believed him, too, and gave him four wide ones. "Pretty soon, with the score tied, I landed on the pitcher for a home run and when I came across the plate the ump yelled, 'You’re out, ye cut second base.' I had not cut the base at alt and was craxy mad. The ump said some thing back and I soaked him for fair. He fell with hls nose bleeding and stalled, I think, pretending that he was worse hurt than he really was. Flrzt thing I knew the crowd was after me and I was doing the Duffy act down a corn field near by. The constable finally got me and they soaked me 125 for slugging the umpire. They threat ened to shoot me and cut up generally. "To get back at 'em we had about four of them pinched for carrying con cealed weapona or something of the kind, and, after letting them sweat In Jail for two days, the cose was settled. "They can poke all the fun they want to at these currant-bush league games, but the city don't know what they are. The fellow whose name I was using went out to a town near by to play a day or two later, and before the game started the mayor walked out on the field nnd up to this fellow. " 'We know all about you,’ he said: we heard about your doings, and If yen crook a finger in this town we’ll HU your dirty hide so full of lead that they could use you for an anchor for a river barge.' "They would have done that very trick, and the poor Innocent ball player was so cowed and afraid that he didn't even dare to call that ump a dog once or a bonehead during the whole game. He even wanted to fight me for using hls name when he got back to town. "It Is all right to laugh at these bustiers at long range, but they are Use a Montana cow—alt right when you ore on' horseback, but once they are after you, It’s tq the trees or a long, swift run and a dive Into the river.’’—Cincinnati Commercial-Tribune.
