Birmingham la the first victim scheduled for the slaughter on borne grounds, mid next comes Montgomery Those games with Birmingham ought to he among the liest of the season, provided Atlanta can keep up the while desperate fight which she tins been puttlug up of late. ' The Barons are leading the pennant race now, and are likely to be when they meet the Craekers on the home grounds. If At lauta keeps well up, some neck-and*uoCk contests ure likely to result. The Atlanta players got the rest they have needed so long Monday at Birming ham. for, on account of wet grounds, the double header scheduled for Monday was called off. • - This helps some, In the present crippled condition of the teuiu. If the Crackers had had to play five games In three day#, It would have been pretty tough. Four In two days will he ta<F enough, hat after the Runday and Monday lay off, the-Crack ers ought to lie fresh and rhady for what ever happens.

It was hoped the inansglug editor of The Hally States had put a halter on 'bnrlle. It seems not. Either he or Lee has tnken the bit In their teeth nud are making rash statements again. The latest rot to appear In their sheets la a glaring head line to the effect Himt Billy Rmltb was banded his, own medicine over In At lanta. and that* be was Justly suspended.

Why a sane editor allows such men to scatter Ink over nn otherwise decent pa per la not known.—Birmingham Ledger. In fict, It has been the mystery of tho Southern League for some years. Another fight has been threatened In Atlnnta. “Mob the umpire!" has become the slogan of the Atlanta fans.—Birming ham News. Poor Atlanta.—Montgomery Journal. Poor Montgomery. The Birmingham Ledger soya that At lauta Is a lot of quitters, officials and players alike. That Uaa been the opinion of the writer since the season opened.— Hally States. By Prlrate leased Wire.

Well, If the Fox-Lee combination on The States la against us, how can we hope to succeed ? It l> reported from Atlnnta that Vaughn la undecided ntaut playing those two double-headers with Atlanta next Tuesday and Wednesday. Don’t you ever think he Is undecided.—Birmingham Ledger. Well, we didn’t think he was ourselves, but' he said so. And It was In « telegram, which he could not deny, aa be does Inter views. now and then. Every one sympathizes with Fox. Is a gentleman on the ball field and had made many friends here. It is hoped he will he back In the game soon.—Montgomery Journal. Here Is a "dog atayy" that would make even The New York Hun blush. It was taken from The New York World: “Teddy, an Irish setter. Is ns fond of a game, of baseball as any human “fan. 1 He belongs to Herman C. Heinrich, th proprietor of an 'art gallery' at Hamburg place and Mngaslne street, Newark, op posite the Eastern league' baseball grounds. “The setter acquired the ItasehnU habit four years ago.

Goodwin pitched a few games for Mobile nnd seem ed to be doing pretty nicely, but evidently he could not deliver the groceries.—Shrove* port Times. Wonder tvtwt hnppened to Goodwin? A few years ago—In the fall of 1994 to bo ex act—be wns so good thnt Brooklyn bought him, nnd now he can’t make good ns n pitcher In the Cotton States. “Artful Ar tie" does not seem to hnve gone nny of the usual routes to enforced retirement. He does not drink to excess. He works hard and Is ambitious. He has n good head and Iron nerve. Ills physical condition Is first-class. And he Is still young. Yet he con not pitch now a truth na well as be did two years ago. Since Memphis won from Atlanta two Saturdays ago, the papers there bare been kicking, nnd kicking hard, because the game wns cnlled before the end ot the ninth lunlug In order that the Memphis players might catch the train. The base' ball writers have made the point that the game wns started enrller than the sched ule time In order that the Memphis club might , l>e done u favor.—Memphis News- Scimitar. The point was. Mack, that the Memphis players used tactics which delayed the game.. According to ono of the recent ef fusions emanating from Little Bock, Caro* pnu should have been fired for not mak ing the Burglars play, the game at the usual rats. v You may say what you want to, but Ruckley Improves every dny.

They have been at ns long as the present Southern League has existed. J Freeman and Everett Make Good Scores at Lakewood They were certainly shooting some oat at Lakewood Monday over the traps of the Atlnnta Gun Club. Freeman, wit Is 147 out of 150; Everett, with 140 out of 150; Thorn ton. with two 23’s; Belsendofer, with one 23 and Poole with 47 out of 50 were the best performers. Freemnn’s work was good, nt usual. He broke 60 straight, tuen made n 24 and a 23 nnd finished up with 60 more straight, the last 25 nt 20 yard*’ rise. > Everett was nt his liest; nud. barring a couple of STs, was close around a perfect score.

It 'Is too late. % Pitcher Sorrel, of Nashville, who has lieen laid on the shelf for most of the sea son, wan In the game Monday. He pitched six Innings of the seeoud gnme. when he retired In favor of Sailor Jack Ely. Charles Frank’s "rubber ball dopestera" swelled their batting averages yesterday. They made 21 hits off Brady and Quick. Brady was taken out of the box lu the fourth Inning. The Terrible Tribble dropi»ed one of Montgomery's games to Nashville. lie al lowed the same number of hits as Buch nnnn, but Nashville made six runs out of nine, bltsi while Montgomery could make only one. Memphis Jin* been camping on Shreve port's trail most of this season u;hen not huilly occupied In sticking the harpoon Into Atlnnta—and twisting It. McGraw was asked to vacate the Polo grounds ngnin Monday. Wonder how many times this Is for the season. Washington played a nasty trick on trolt. Didn't reach second base, except once, until the ninth. -Then mnd£ four runs nnd tied the score. Won out In the tenth with a single run. Guess that’s something of a rally. Cleveland at last hns.xometblng she cai trim. The name of the “trlmee" Is Boston Turner pitched a two-hit game for Charleston Monday. Never Too Old For Golf Dr. T. C. Allbutt, reglus professor of physics at Cambridge University, says a tamloti dispatch to the New Y’ork Hun, re cently gave out the dictum thnt the law ought to forbid nny innu to begin playing the game of golf before he Is 35 years old, until which time h« is capable of more vig orous athletics. Dr. Allbntt left It to be In ferred thnt golf should only be regarded as kind of Inst resort for those tottering down bill tnwnrd senility. The presentation of the golf problem In this form led to Inquiries among the beat known exponents and amateurs of British athletic gomes. 'As a result Jhe following table wns compiled, represehtlng theories as well ns practice: Cricket should be atandoned at 40 years; football, 90; hockey, lawn tennis, by women, 45, and by men, 60; rowing, 60. The age for quitting cycling wns not definitely fixed. According to the table, golf should be played while life lasts but should not he begun' too young.

The game was very close, nnd had It not Iteeq for a series of errors on the part of the Jersey players In the fourth, when three runs were scored by their opponents, the score would hnve begn a tie.
