The Sporting Ne,US does not like the ac-
ton of Chsttanooga's papers in attacking
the local team because 1t lost game. Here
is the way one of the papers treated the
game between the Chattanooga and St
Louis Browns one day last week: Our
team had been said to be better thai the
team last year, but Ted's old team could
give the present one cards and spades and
leave it at the quarter. Beside the Browns
the locals looked like freaks. None of them
would do for models of masculine SYM
metry, and the red stockings showed the

fairly played tag around the bases, knocked
the ball wherever and whenever they
pleased and ran around the diamond
Ct will while the third baseman Of the guests
did the Japanese Juggling act with the ball
for the grand stand which furnished the
main part of the interest of the game. The
Chattanooga felders fell down and rolled
all over the ground whenever they could
find an excuse and the game was one de-
did dlu Of ~ ~ TI,o ~
cism of the Sporting Nel0S is as follows:
"Now when it is remembered that the ST.
Louis Browns are one of the best teams in
the country, that its manager has carte
blanche to sign men at any cost, and that
the Chattanooga team was signed under a
very low limit, the injustice of the at
tack will be readily seen. II base ball is to
flourish in the south this year, then its
newspapers, especially those of Chatta-
nooga, had better change their treatment
of Its players quickly, else it will meet with
speedy DEATH"
