lieved OF the penalty of $500 incurred
by refusing to play at Atlanta, she is
likely to be generously disappointed /;
and whether she pays the penalty or
not, the preponderance OF sentiment
is against entering into league with
club that can be guilty of such mean
ness as to inflict loss Of $500 upon
a rival club, and $3.50 represents
in round numbers the amount
lost by Atlanta through Savanuah's
piRheadednees in leaving Atlanta
without playing the scheduled games
And right here it might be well to re-
member that the financial weakness
exhibited by Savannah earlier in the
season, aud which threatened to swamp
her club aud cripple the league, ia in
itself q potent argument against the
admission OF the Savannah club into
the came league with Memphis, Nash
vile, Charleston, aud other cities
where baseball receives liberal patron
aRe. II Macon, Chattanooga and SayRn-
nah can dispose of their franchises
they had better do il, for it is ex-
tremely unlikely that Memphis will
risk going through another season in
the same league with either of them.
Business is busiuecs, and experience
has demo nstrated that baseball does
not pay in the cities named. Nash
vile, Memphis, Charleston, New Or
leans, Mobile, Evansville and Atlanta
will make good enough league with
out monkeying with towns where the
financial lifa of the club ia threatened
everytime game is lost.

The EMIL MeeiinR.

AZ the time approaches for the
closing OF stakes for the fall meeting OF
the New Memphis Jockey Club entries
are rapidly coming in and the seCre-
tary, Mr.. S. Il. Montgomery, expresses
himself as very much pleased with the
prospect In calling ottention to the
clubs announcement the Spirit Of The
Times says: We desire to call the at
tention OF turfmen to the stakes Of
fered by the Memphis Jockey Club, to
be run at their coming autumn meet
ing, which begins Tuesday, October
26th, and will continue four days, with
a regular day, weather permitting. Az
will be seen, this meeting follows Clcse-
" in the wake of that at Covington.
The Memphis Club Is now one OF the
most ilourishing organizations OF the
South and West. The most extensive
improvements, which have been made
in the track and grounds, render
them peculiarly tempting quarters
for winter, and it ia the desire
OF the club to make their
grounds the great winter headquarters
Of the West, and to give very early
spring meeting each season. Ger
tainly no place could be better located
for the purpose, being free from cold,
piercing winds and with q temperature
and weather which enables trainers to
work their horses nearly all winter If
desirable, The finest clover and grass
pastures abound, and new mac ADAM
lied road leading from the city to the
track has just been completed. The
stakes offered for the coming autumn
meeting all promise to be very valu-
able il the owners respond M they
should. Certainly the club has done
it's part. For the CASTOR Hotel stakes,
for two year Odds, six furlongs, $500 Is
added; for tho Peabody Hotel bandi-
cap, three year olds and upward, one
mile and furlong, $500 Ia added; for
the Gayoso Hotel sweepstakes, all
ages, one mile and q quarter, 5000 is
added; for the steeplecnase handicap,
one mile and three quarters, $500 Is
| added"

A HOME RUN,
With Two Men on Bases, and As.
snres Victory to the Home Nine
Atlanta Will Stick.

Knoutf's arm was sore and swollen
yesterday and the speed of his deliv-
cry materially diminished. The result
was that the Nashville sluggers pound
ed him hard and knocked out eleven
hits, four OF which fell to Goldsby.
Victory under such circumstances is
surprising, and it must be confessed
that it ives by the rarest of good
luck that Memphis was enabled
to defeat the visitors. In the
eighth inning with the ecore 4 to
3 in favor of Memphis, and with
two men on bases, Andrews knocked
the ball over right field fence, clearing
the bases and making q home run.
But for that the sCcrs would in all
probability have be IN 4 to 3 in
favor of the visitors. The game was
well played throughout aud exciting
to the verge of discomfort. In tho
eighth inning the audience seemed to
sit on pins and needles SO high ives
the tension on the new :, and when
that ball went sailing over the fence
there Wls such shouting and cheer
ing on the grand stand as has not been
heard there for many days. Even
the ladies cou d not repress their en-
thusiasm, a few of them becoming

OF Sneed and Andrews and the base
stealing of the later, who once scored
by daring steal from third TO home
plate while Dundon YVES delivering

The contest was Ieplete with brilliant

the Louisvilles four rams in the last
two innings. Wolf made two home
runs, the first being a terrific drive
over the right fed fence, and the Gee.

Healy achieved q phenomenal feat
in the Maroons' whitewash OF Kansas
City yesterday, holding his opponents
down to one hit and allowing but
three men to reach first base, but one
OF whom reached third base. The
game was marked by brilliant fielding
on the part Of the Maroons, heavy
smuggling and general all round fine
work. McGeachy made a home run
and caught several difficult flies. But
one fielding error was made by the
Maroons that OF Glsascock, who other
wise did finely. Cahill did splendidly
in fielding and batting. For Kansas

Clarkson may have pitched finer
game OF ball than of Yesterday, but it
would be impossible to make any of
the 4C00 people who cav him believe
it. His support was superb, William
sons two fumbles being the only visit
ing errors of any description. For six
innings Detroit retired in quick sue
cession, the only one who reached first
during that time being put out on a
double play, and ct no time during the
game did Detroiter zee second.
Whites lovely base hit in the eighth
availed nothing, as he was forced out
by Hanlon, who was put out at first at
the came time. In the ninth the side
struck out, making total OF ten strike
outs. The home club generally played
well but their errors were costly.
Brouthers' muff OF thrown ball in the
fifth left Arson safe on first and 81
lowed Clarkson and Ryan to score. In
the seventh the third chance for put
out was lost through Whites wild
throw, and a subsequent hit brought
in the run. A single and double

Murdered His Mother,

New York, August 23.-Jams A.
McElhinney, 20 years old, after day
OF dissipation, returned 10 his home
tonight in West Thirty-seveUth street
and cut and beat his mother 30 that
she will die. His only reason for the
dastardly attack was that his mother
demonstrated with him for his idleness
and drunkenness. He hurled knife
at her, which struck her on the fore
head, aud then flung a plate, which
struck her over the eye, fracturing her
skull. She fell unconscious to the
floor, and then, realizing Whist he had
done, the besotted young man fed
from the house. He was coon arrest
ed. He said his cousin had COM
mitted the assault, but ,his dying
mother, TO whose bedside in the hos
pital he was taken, declared that he
was her assailant.
