Busy Times in Birmingham, Then on Again to Nashville With the rheprful prouppct of four games I «' in two days, the Atlanta team Is begin nlng to think of getting baek to bom* grounds. Wednesday night, the bunch will pack up and Iran* the City of 8moke tot Nashville. And then, after three days of play, they will bend again for Piedmont park. Birmingham Is the first victim scheduled for the slaughter on home grounds, t next comes Montgomery. . . Those games with Birmingham ought be among the best of the season, provided Atlanta can keep up the same desperate tight which she has been puttlug up late. * The Barons ore leading the pennant race id are likely to be when they meet HARVARDCREW HAS_ARRIVED REACHE8ENGLAND WITH EVERY MAN WELL AND CONFIDENT OF SUCCESS. Qneenstown, Aug. 7.—The Harvard eight- oared crew, which Is to row Cambridge university on the Thames September 8, ar rived here last night on the White Star Line steamer Cedric. The men enjoyed the trip over, and exercised on board ship ns much as possible. They are In splen did health. Asked what they thought of their pros pects of success In the forthcoming race, they declared they would not havo crossed the ocean If they did not expect to make some showing. They knew, however, that they bad to meet some of the world" most famous oarsmen. Ten Minutes With the Baseball Writers The New Tork Bun says: “There Is one thing commendable about Connie • Mnck, and that Is, he does not lose any time trying out new pitchers. He does not keep them on the bench to find out wheth er they will do," Charlie Fox, down In New Orleans, has broken loose again. Charlie Is prone to fly on a tangent on nearly every occasion. It was hoped the mnuaglng editor of The Dally States had put a baiter on Charlie. It seems not. Either he or Tee has taken the bit In their tooth snd tro making rash statements again. The latest rot to appear In their sheets Is a glaring head lino to tbo effect that Illlly Bmltb was banded his own medicine over In At lanta. and that ho wts Justly suspended.

In fact, It hap been the myotery of the* Southern League for oome years. Never Too Old For Golf Dr. T. C. Allbutt, regtus professor of physics et Cambridge University, says a London dispatch to the New York Ban, re cently gave out the dictum that the law ought to forbid any man to begin playing the game of golf before he Is IK years old, until which time he Is capable of more vig orous athletics. I>r. Allbutt left It to he In ferred that golf should only lie regarded ns kind of last resort for those tottering down hill toward aenlllty. The presentation of the golf problem In this form led to Inquiries among the twet known exponents and amateurs of British nthle(lc games. As a result the following table was compiled, representing theories as well ns practice: Cricket should N abandoned at 40 years: football, 10; hockey, SS; lawn tennis, by women. 41, and by men, <0; rowing. The age for quitting cycling was not definitely fixed. According to the table, golf should be played while life lasts but should not be begun too young.

Well, If the Fox-Lee combination on The 8tates Is against us, how con we hope to succeed? It Is reported from Atlanta that Vaughn Is undecided about playlug those two double-headers with Atlanta uext Tuesday ahd Wednesday. Don't you ever think he la undecided.—Birmingham Ledger. Well, We didn't think be was ourselves, but he said so. And It was In a telegram, which he could not deny, as be does Inter views, now and then Every one sympathises with Fox. Is a gentleman on tbs ball field and bad mads many friemls here. It la hoped will be back In the game soon.—Montgomery Journal. nere la a "dog story" that would make even The New York Ban blush. It was taken from The New York World: "Teddy, an Irish aetter. Is as fond of a game of baseball as any hnman "fan. He belongs to Herman C. Heinrich, the proprietor of an 'art gallery' at Hamburg place and Magaslno street, Newark, posits tbs Eastern locague baseball grounds. "The setter acquired the baseball tanblt four years ngo. lie went to every game with bis master. Iletnrlcb quit going, but Teddy did not. The ticket takers know him and let him lb free. When the biped fans cheer n good play, TeCdy frisks around aud barks Joyously. When the hu mans hnrl epithets at the umpire, Teddy howls long and mournfully, saying at plain ly aa he can, ‘Did any one ever bear a worse decision than that?' "j 'Curreleaa Wonder" Goodwin, the old Memphis twlrler, has beeu appointed on the umpire staff In the Cotton Btntes League, vice Brady, resigned, Goodwin pitched a few games for Mobile and aeei». ed to be doing pretty nicely, but evldeutly he could not deliver the groceries.—Mhreve- port Times. Wonder wliat happened to Goodwin? A few years ago-ln the fall of to lie ex act—he was so good that Brooklyn liought him, aud now ho can't make good as a pitcher In the Cotton States. "Artful Ar tie" does not seem to have gone any of the usual routes to enforced retirement. He does not drink to excess. He works hnrd and la ambitious. He has a good head and Iron nerve. Ills physical condition Is first-class. And he Is still young. . Yet be can not pitch now a tenth at well as he did two years ago. Blnre Memphis won from Atlanta two Saturdays ago, the papers there have been kicking, and kicking bard, because game was called lieforo the end of the ninth Inning In order that the Memphis players might catch 'the train. The base* bnll writers have made the point that the game was started earlier than the ached ale time In order that the Memphis club might be done a favor.—Memphis News* Scimitar. The point was, Mnck. that the Memphis players nsed * tactics which delayed the gnme. According to onej»f the recent ef fusions emanating from Little Rock, Cam pau should have boon fired for not rank lug the Burglars plsy the game at the usual rats. You may. say what you want to, but Buckley Improves every day. He tuts made n good and conscientious holder of the Indicator. He has made good with the fans here, and If he wants to corao back next season he will come.—Montgomery Journal. Buckley Is certainly the best In the league this year. It Is not often a ball game Is played and five double plays successfully pulled off, but this Is what happened In the sec ond game yesterday. Rlckert came In for an unassisted double during the afternoon. He fielded a fly ball In left, and then beat the base-runner laick to second base.—Mon day's New Orleans 1'lcnyune. The I'ellcsn writers are calling for the summary dismissal of Manager Smith.— Birmingham Age-Herald. If there were no other reason for keep ing him, that one would be sufficient. Down In New Orleans, The States Is referring to local writers ns "liars" and •low down and contemptible scoun drels." Nice talk for n newspaper, Isn't Yellow all the way through. Keep It up, geutlemen.—Birmingham Age-Herald. They probably will. They have been at It aa long na the present Southern League has existed. NOTES AT RANDOM ON MONDAY’S MIXES Holmes pitched a no blt game 'Monday against Jacksonville. Nashville took a double-header flora Montgomery Monday. Mlqno Finn's pets are loginning to wake up, but alas! It Is too late. Pitcher Sorrel, of Nashville, who has been laid on the fhelf for most of the sea son, was In the game Monday. He pitched six Innings of the second gnme, wheu he retired lu favor of Sailor Jack Ely. Charles Frank's "rubber bnll dopcstera' swelled their batting averages yesterday. They made 21 hits off Brady snd Quick, Brady was taken out of the box lu the fourth Inning. The Terrible Tribble dropped one Montgomery’s games to Nashville. He al lowed the same number of bits as Bach* •nan, bat Nashville made six runs out of nine bits, while Montgomery could make only one. Memphis has been camping on Shreve port's trail most of this season when not busily occupied In sticking the harpoon Into Atlanta—and twisting It. McGraw was asked to vacate the Polo grounds again Monday. Wonder how many times this Is for the season. Washington played a nasty trick on De troit Didn't reach second Imse, except once, until the ninth. Then made four runs and tied the score. Won ont In the tenth with a single rnn.
