H. o. WIS WIN GREATEST
 GAME EVER PLAYED
"Bankers" Defeated By Score of 21 to ii, Which Should Have Been 1
 to o-24,626 People Saw 1t.

After nine innings of the most brilliant hall playing ever seen in the world, the First National Bank team was defeated but not disgraced yesterday afternoon by the club which should have worn I'll. o. w" on their shirts. The scorers had the resoit 21 to Il. but the excited fans sAy that the result should have been v to if properly scored Again the scorers had one team chalked up with 106 errors and the other 105. when i1 fact 1t was an errorless game The grounds were desid- edly too small to accommodate the i'm mense crowd. and the fence was too close In to stop the various home-run drives. The H. o. W.'s got mad in the very first inning and thereafter the Banks" never had more than 56 chances to win. All of .he professional magnates were on hand to pick up some good men, and as re- suit nearly all of the men in both teams have been signed on the reserve list. It is possible, however. the reserves will never be called out.
 The infielders knew the batters so well that they would disdain to stop ground CT. knowing that the next man up would hit out a fly which was easier to handle.
 The number of hits and errors were lost in the excitement, and to the sorrow of the baseball public the records of this remarkable game will never appear in Spaldings Guide After the game Man agers Venable and Robinson were be- seiged by reporters for an interview as to where they signed their players. but both managers were wise and refused to talk
 The HI o. w., team Is now looking for further worlds to conquer. and have issued challenges to the Republic team and the Athletic Club. Managers Vcnable and Robinson will in the near future open n night college to teach youngsters the art of baseball. Their rates will be high. but all matriculates will get their moneys worth.
 The Republic Iron and Steel Company Baseball Club will play the Athletics at West End Park June 21. They want to get even for their recent defeat and prom ise warm contest.

GAMES TODAY.
Birmingham at Little Rock. Chattanooga at Memphis. Atlanta at Shreveport.
 Nashville at New Orleans.

Little Rock. June, 10.-(Special.) )-Bir- mingham put up an entirely different game from that of yesterday and demon strated the fact that they can play ball even if today's game was the result or an error. That's all in the game, as 1t was a passed ball that let Little Rock tie the score in the ninth. Campbell and Watt pitched nice ball, the latter haV- ing the best of 1t up to the eighth in- ming. He was touched up for two sim gles and three bagger besides cost ly wild pitch.
 Little Rock started the run getting in the first. Gilbert was hit by pitched ball, sacrificed by Crozier and Delehanty advanced him to third and he scored on passed ball. For Birmingham w. Smith flied out to short, Haller flied out to second. LaRocque was hit by pitched ball, went to third on Camp bells two bagger to left. F. Smith hit a grounder to short which should have retired the side, but Clayton threw bad to first LaRocque scored and Smith was safe. Brown got four bad ones fii- ing the bases. Dowie singled to right, scoring Campbell and Smith.
 Won In the Tenth.
 Birmingham was unable to score again until the tenth. In the sixth Delehanty hit to center for two bases, McCann sac rificed him to third. Lynch hit slow grounder to Dowie who on throwing to the plate, hit Delehanty on the head, the ball going to the grandstand, Deiehanty scoring. Wilhelm replaced Campbell in the eighth.
 | In the ninth Wright, the first man up, l hit to deep center, scoring a moment later on a passed ball. which hit Blues mask and went to the grandstand. This tied the score. Little Rock could not score in the tenth.
 LaRocque hit a dinky fly to right that no one could reach Wilhelm sacrificed him to second; he reached third on a balk ball, scoring on F. Smiths hit to right, winning the game It was a clean exhibi- ton of ball playing, and game greatly enjoyed by the 2000 people. Watt had the honors In the pitching, though why Campbell was relieved is a mystery
 J. J. Kelley made his debut as a South ern League umpire and made good i'm pression on both sides. Following is the

Food for the Fans.


 By winning two games In succession from New Orleans. Nashville ties the Pelicans for first place. If Nashville wins today that team will have a good hold on first place by the comfortable margin of thirty points If. however, New Orleans wins the Pelicans will again go to the top with a margin of twenty nine points,
 Dowie wanted the game yesterday badly. He accepted every chance sent him in a perfect manner, spiked Crozier and fired a hot throw into the back of Deiahanty's head when that player scored from third on a short hit to third
 The cute little thing that President Nicklin has been calling an umpire for want of any better name gave way yes- terday at Little Rock to Umpire J. J. Kelly of Manchester, N. H. The press reports credit him with having given sat- isfaction. Please. Mir. Nicklin. never send the little Italian to Birmingham again.
 ''Smitty" made two or three savage but intellectual attempts to kill the ball. He received a present of first base on two occasions but his chance came in the tenth inning when. with Dad" on third and one out, he hit for a three bagger.
 Both Campbell and Wilhelm pitched good ball and the game pitched by Watts was O cfeditable one.
 It looked as though there was some- thing doing for Little Rock in the ninth inning when Wright, the first man up, cracked the first ball pitched to him by Wilhelm for a three bagger and after wards scored on passed ball with no one out. After that Welhelm knew he had to work and the next five men up were easy outs.

From the Nashville News: Thomas Tacks Parrot the cornet-playing ball player, after signing Nashville contract last Friday jumped last Saturday to the California League.
 As soon as Manager Fisher heard that Billy Clingman had eased his majesty off on the flim-fiam railway he made Thomas an offer. After several days of dickering Parrot finally came around and signed up a Nashville contract This happened last Friday. As soon as Tacks had performed with his fountain pen Fisher immediate ly sent him transportation to New Or leans. Following close upon this the Human Kangaroo made one of the most daring leaps in the history of the na- tiona games and landed clean and clear on California soil. From the place that Schlitz made famous to the Golden Gate of the Pacific is a mighty leap, and right we'll did Parrot cnch his claim to the proud title of the Human Grasshopper' or the "Ball-Playing Kangaroo"
