The news re«rhea here from Little Rock
that Kavanaugh la at laat going to make
an Investigation, (lueaa who la going to
he Investigated? Not Frank or Brelten*
atein. Oh, no! The man who will have
to face the mnaJc la “Kid" Bucklejr.
Chargea bare been preferred agalnat Um
pire Buckley, and he la bring to he in-
veatlgated. Bohie ahowlng baa got to he
made, and It muat he made on a *5 a day
umpire. Buckley 1a Incompetent, hut It
la amualng with what haate the Little Rock
mogul calla the Inreatlgntlon so aa to hnve
aome- one aa a acapegoet.—Birmingham
Ledger.
Inveatlgate Buckley and anepend Billy
Rmlth, but frame ttolQga up ao that rubber
hall chargea can not he pushed, and let
Breltenateln’a assault on Carey go unpun
ished.
It Is alt right, perhaps, but It looks like
favoritism.
The Augusta Tribune must have an‘Imag
inative correspondent In Atlanta, "If any*"
Thursday that paper carried a. story to
the effect that Billy Hmtih had been sus
pended and fined S100<!> for striking and
cumlngt!) Umpire Hhnster. At the end of
the article, The Tribune rune, evidently In
all serlonaneaa.iand certainly wlthont cred
it, the sappoacd-to-be-funny ‘interviews**
which the writer ground out for the occa
sion.
The dirtiest baseball league In existence
Is undoubtedly the American Association.
Everything that fa against the beet Inter
ests of baseball has gone on there for
years.
The climax, or what ought to he the ell-
tax, waa the faking of chargea agalnat
Umpire Owena, charging him with betting
on liasetiall games. Falae testimony waa
introduced and a deliberate attempt made
to ruin Owena.
Fortunately for the good of baseball, the
charges were proven to be false, and
Owens was exonerated.
Now if the association Is worth powder
enough to blow It Into chunks, which la
doubtful. It will do something to the men
who brought thu false charges against
Owena.
The sporting wrltera about the circuit
nfe tiring of their wordy wars. Even
The Dally Htates and The Georgian hnve
ceased to print "hot stuff." ft*wna really
a pleasure to read these two sheets tvheu
the war waa at Its highest. Something
new cropped out every day, but now The
Htates has quit. Probably the editor has
tied a halter around the Deck of the ver
bose sporting wiiter.—nirmliigbam Ledger.
Wrong again, Willy. We are just .t/rer?
of wasting good ammunition on such a soft
target.
It was good of Hhreveport to beat Mem
phis. Htockdnle nnd Hickman both pitch
ed scnsatloiial ball, and both got poor sup
port.
It muat have been an awful surprise to
Birmingham when Nnahvllle trimmed the
Barons. Loud howls are now due from
the Birmingham papers, and nil will, no
doubt, arise and suggest a change In man
agement.
Bill Phillips la the hard tack pitcher
for suro. lie gets more whclpt on the
noodle, legs, arms nnd all other conceiva
ble places tban any pitcher In the bual-
neaa. I'll warrant. Yesterday It looked like
half the luilla tho Travelers landed on went
right straight at Bill, and nearly every
time Bill had a hard time getting them
in time to throw the former out. Only
went Into his glove, and that one he
held on to. Two or three hit him on the
shlna and rolled away, but he managed to
garner them In. Two (rounded over his
head, but he couldn't atop the course of
htft one sufficiently to recorer It In time
to throw to O'Brien.
Bill has received a number of hart!
wallops by bard r hlt bolls this summer,
and only a few daya ngo at Atlanta—
In the Inst game he pitched trefore yes
terday—be was knocked out cold by a bit
ball that stung him on the forehead and
brought the blood In a great stream,
happened In the second Inning, and after
he had regained ctfntrlonanema be bad to
he taken to thw french, where he remained
the rest of the gnme. Two or three tlmea
leas serious accidents have happened to
him on the local grounds, and it looks
like a queer play ot fate Is always after
BlU.-vKew Orleans exchange.
Maybe Bill Is getting too old to get out
of the way of the ball.
It waa the Honorable Dominick Mnllaney,
In 1903. It was Sporting Editor Mullaney
Jn 1906. '
Hid Hmlth, called "governor," because hla
brother wits a member of the legislature
of Houtb Carolina, will now take to the
back woods so deep that all of the Atlanta
papers can not call him back again. Man
ager Mnllaney, In charge of the "Bleep
ers," was elected tot he legislature from
Jefferson county, Kentucky, In 1903, and for
slxttty days drew bis 16 per.—Birmingham
Age-Hera Id.
Dom" la certainly the star as a general
ntlllty man.
There are many prominent fans of Bir
mingham who sincerely believe that base
ball Is "fixed." That the league directors
pick ont a team to win the pennant and
by common consent allow everything to
drift that way.
This Idea la moat likely crorneotia. HUH
the league inagnntea are allowing them-
selves to drift Into a policy that Is caus
ing suspicion. Nothing will kill baseball
any quicker than "fixed" games. On some
occasions this can not .»e helped. A team
will throw a game along toward the end
of the season, in iplte of everything.
8till It should not be countenanced by the
powers that be.—Birmingham Ledger.
It Is absurd to suppose that the league
race la "fixed."
Judge Ksvanangb has made hla mistakes,
but he la on the square. The mistakes
were bard for Atlanta to bear, but local
people are making the most of them.
There Is no danger that games will
thrown thU year. Of course. If Charley
Frank rnns out of players, Bhreveport
Memphis would undoubtedly lend him their
best men. and Memphis paper* *re prac
tical! y charging that Memphis does not try
very hard to win from New Orleana.
But, generally speaking, the race la on
the square, and no clnb la getting more
advantages than are allowed by the rulea
baseball.
The Arkansas Osxette says that Billy
Hmlth waa suspended because Shuster nl
leges that Billy Hmlth atrnck him. The
same article contalna the statement that
the game waa called In the third Inning,
while, as a matter of fact. It waa at the
end of the fourth.
If Judge Kavanaugh acted against Smith
on such misinformation aa this. It Is high
time he found out the troth.
No extra editions arc being gotten out
In Atlanta because the team la crawUng
to the fore.—Birmingham Ledger.
Right again, bo. We get out baseball
editions here every afternoon. Feoplo read
them here whether the teanf Is ahad or
not. This jown !a dlffrent from Blrmlng<
ham.
The St. Louis Nationals have made
stagger at trading Pitcher Egan and Short
stop McBride for Billy Phyle. once of
Routhern League fame—li and otherwise.
Up to yet, Billy baa refused to go, and
brings Into play the time honored threat of
Jumping to the outlaws.

RING SIDE RAZZLES.
By Private Leaned Wire.
New York, Aug. 3.—Anrello ITerrera la
In Milwaukee to arrange the detail* of
hit match with Charley Neary on August
17. After that fight, Herrera may come
eaat, aa he ha* been promised a fifteen-
round go with KM Goodman by the Lincoln
Athletic Club, of Chelaea.
The Lndlngton Athletic Club, of Michi
gan. baa arranged a boxing abow to take
place on August 11. In the main bout. Kid
Tyler, of Chicago, and* Walter Little will

Young Erne, the Quaker City lightweight,
aaye he waa matched to meet Harry Lewta
at Dayton laat month, when t^wls called
the bout off. lie anya Lewis had all the
best of the arrangements for the bout, and
Is positive It was a case of "cold feet"
with Harry.
In exp^natlon of th* fallftre to reach
terms for a meeting between Tommy
Burna and Hugo Kelly, at Lot Angeles.
Httver Ferret!, manager for Kelly, aays the
hitch arose on the weight question. Ferretl
says he agreed to allow Kelly to meet
Burns at 166 pounds, and at first Burns
consented to the weight. He afterwards
refused to make the weight, and the match
was declared off.
Jack Blackburn almost knocked out Bill/
Burke at the Broadway Athletic Club tn
Philadelphia In the second round of their
bout last night with a terrific left-hand
swing which landed on the pit of Bllly'a
stomach.
The winner had been floored Just before
that with a right In the jaw which sent
him to the floor for the full count. Burke
went through the ropes just aa the bell
rang, but managed to come back and stay
for the six rounds.
