Whiting. x YESTERDAY'S ball game V brought ns smack up against the old question, viz; south paws—why are they so wild? Nothing the sphinx ever pro pounded was any more difficult Io solve. It is the only conundrum with a kick to it about which base ball writers, who rush in where managers fear to tread, haven't even a decent theory. The question came up because a couple of southpaws heaved them selves out of a ball game at Ponce DeLeon ball park yesterday after noon, and because one of these ball players is one of the world's most notable players—Mr. Lefty Bussed, late of Hagerstown, Md.. and Phil adelphia, Pa. A man once most eminent among the world's southpaws. Colonel Theodore Breitenstein. umpired the ball game, or part of it. anyhow. After the contest, he was asked for an interview on the pitching nt Russell and his chunees for get ting control. His reply was three grunts and a nod As foi- Connie Mack, the gentle man who sent Russell to Atlanta, he professes still to believe that Russell will get control. Atlanta hopes so, it didn't look so yester day. when Russell lasted .only two innings. But then you never can tell. Russell has everything else necessary, including a good bean and plenty of determination, ami Manager Hemphill will put him through a course of marksmanship exercises that may give him the JOHNSON VISITS GW OF FLYNN LAS VEGAS.

That one run beat Sitton, though fortu nately for his record, the game was lost when In- took command, so it is not scored against him. It was a really good contest, a marvel, considering that it was being contested by a couple of tail end teams. And one tiling is help ful, No matter if we lose ’em all to Nashville, we can’t take their last place away from them. They have been too consistently bad to make that possible—yet.

Welchonce and Young, par ticularly the former, are corking good outfielders. Schwartz is as good a first baseman as you ever find In this league. McDonald seems to be a coming third base man. Perry and Lindsay are use ful infielders. The pitching staff is tolerably good, and “Rowdy" Elliott is a good catcher in every depart ment except disposition. Not unless the team meet£ with marvelous hard luck will it continue on the bottom. You have my word for that. • • • JTARRY BAILEY, the man who hit four such awful wallops Saturday, had a weird batting ex perience yesterday. Twice he walk ed. Twice he fanned. Once he hit. One big tiling about Bailey's work at bat is tliHt he manages to get a base on balls once out of every five or six times lie faces the pitch er. In addition to doing this, lie makes an aveiage of more than one hit out of every four times lie is at bat. in other words, he man ages to get on bases .bout twice a game. And any man who can no that and Who can run bases like Bailey is i help to tile club. fGKfir IIPONOT Two gainpM for the price of one.

They declare that if a fight was hel<4 over them it would be up to the tire chief to make a case against them and if he failed in his duty in this that any private citizen could have a ease made against them. Fearing arrest be cause they have their place of busi ness in the same building with a tight ring, the garage men will ask the court to prevent the tight from being staged. Something herebefore unknown came to light yesterday. The Buick people have about 100 cars stored above the tight club. They claim there is no gasoline or in flammable fluid in the machines as they are new cars. The fire chief stated yesterday that these ma chines had been examined, but an automobile man who has been in that room says he could find gaso line in nearly every car stored there, and that there is inflammable oil in each machine If these machines have oil or gasoline in them it would certain ly be against the ordinance to oper ate a tight on the floor beneath them. Now, if it’s against the law for the Firestone-Columbus or Pope-Hartford people to operate below the club it is certainly against the same law for the Buick people to have cars with gasoline and oil in them above the club. Will the tight promoters ask the Buick people to move their $190,000 stock out into the street so that they can hold their little setto downstairs? They might as well. They have asked the Pope-Hart ford people and the Firestone- Columbus people to move their stock aggregating $50,000. So there is $1511,000 in stock to be moved out and not be covered by any insurance whjle it is out of the building. And then. too. the building is still a garage add the ’ tenants liable to arrest if any as sembling is held in the place. VERY LOW RATES TO NOR FOLK ACCOUNT BARACA PHILATHEA UNION.
