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. BITS ABOUT TENNIS. Krelgh Collins Is still the western tennis champion.

New York, Aug. 3.—Anrello ITerrera la In Milwaukee to arrange the detail* of hit match with Charley Neary on August 17.

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.
