E9JraCLS from I0WQQ6SVllle AQVerLlS6r
THE Birmingham tragedy has agi-
tated the country as much as any
event of modern times. 1t is the
"town talk" country talk, and every
where-else talk. Nearly all the news
papers are commenting upon it either
pro or con. TO say the least of it, it
was very sad affair, and is greatly to
be deplored. Whether Sheriff Smith
was justifiable or not in ordering his
guard to fire upon the crowd, we at
this distance can only conjecture, as
we have to rely entirely upon newspa-
per reporters for our information, and
there is hardly any two of them who
have looked through the same hued
spectacles. So we had better not
''fret" about it, but leave Birmingham
to fight its own battles.

TO protect him, and let the jury OF his country
pass upon his guilt or innocence.
We are satisfied that after the eXcitem1nt

WORLD OF SPORTS.

Radbourn does not favor the idea of put ting the pitcher back an additional five feet He argues that the reason why the league contests are so uneven is because the New ork, Chicago and Detroit clubs have got the heavy batters of the league. To put the pitcher back five feet would tend to increase the batting then some clubs would continue to have the heavy hitters, and the result would be easy victories over clubs having the weak batters, large scores, un- even and uninteresting contest, and conse- Quently less attractions for the people at large. He claims that the old forty-ive foot distance, would beIbetter as this would make the batters more on an equality, result in close scores and exciting games, and therefore would make the champion ship race a more even one, and consequent ly attract more public patronage.
 Mike Kelly said he was ill Saturday afternoon at Washington and refused to go out to the grounds. Manager Morrill, thought Kelly was we'll enough to play and ordered him to be >on hand. Kelly dis obeyed, and when Morrill, got back to Willard's Hotel he fined Kelly S100 for insubordination. Kelly claims he was too i'll to play. Manager Morrill, says he pro- poses to have discipline no matter what the cost.
