 If the Black Sox takes today's game. they will have lost six and won five of inc eleven games played on the trip They will leave New Orleans for Mont gomery tonight, playing six games here during the coming week, Atlanta TUGS day, Wednesday and Thursday, the game tomorrow being cut out, and Birmingham Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

 The games in New Orleans today will be called at 3:30 o'clock. At 1 o'clock a game will be played between the Inde- pendents and Clerks, the fans getting the benefit of the game in New Orleans and the game on the grounds at the same
 The chances are that the Black Sox will be strengthened in the next few days by the fastest and hardest-hitting outhelder that ever played In the Southern League Ike Durrett.
 The Arkansas Gazette says:
 within the next ten days every South ern League player now playing in the California League, who jumped from this will be again playing with the team from which he jumped. Parrott will be with Nashville, Hulseman with Shreveport Taylor with Atlanta. Durrett with Mont goomery, and others with the teams with which they formerly played.

Record of Montgomery Players Dur
 ing the Week.

Record of Montgomery Players Dur
 ing the Week.
 The batting averages of the Montgom- cry baseball team show a slight slump though some of the individual averages show an increase. Clark has gained nine points, .273 as over PCT last Sunday.
 Burnett has raise of IT points, .Z7 as over .255 last Sunday; while Stickney's average Is up 28 points, .2SS as over .260 last Sunday. Polchow leads the pitchers in batting with an average of .S01 as over .276 last Sunday, a gain of 9 points. Manager Whistler has reached the centu- ry mark in hits-100 in 80 games-but there is a decrease of points as compared with his average last Sunday.
 The team fielding average is about the individual fielding averages showing good increases. While Stultz has an unbroken record, Stockdale has the best of the pitchers in fielding with two errors in A chances, 15 putouts and 26 assists. Pol chow has three errors in 57 chances, while Streit has only one error in fl chances.
 Polehow and Stockdale fall off in their pitching averages on account of the two games that they relieved Brennan and Streit when he hurt his hand Stultz still has remarkable control. fifteen bases on balls in thirteen games, a fraction over one game. Stockdale has given shade over two game and Streit little over three a game. '7

AS TO SALARY LIMIT.
Important Matter to Come Befor
 Iea9ua Meetinp.

Important Matter to Come Before
 League Meeting.
 Arkansas Gazette.
 One of the most important matters to come before the Southern League at its next meeting will be that of the salary limit: At present there is no limit in the Southern League. This is due to the launching of the Charlie Frank League that limit was impossible Such players as care now in the league are receiving the salaries, for which they signed with Frank for his League, and 1t may be easI- had to outbld the old league prices.
 The cry of too big salary list In the League now has been raised by Newt Fisher of Nashville, and is receiving con siderable attention in all parts of the cir cult. for 1t is most vital question. Newt says he will introduce resolution at the ary limit at $l,500 All we'll and good. but can team be secured by any manager for the price which will put up the arti- cle of ball demanded by the fans?
 It is a recognized fact that the South ern League Is now playing as fast ball as any minor league in the country, Last aries were at a moderate figure and the League would have prospered but :)r the Memphis-St. Vrain affair. As 1t is, this books completely St. Vrain cost the Southern League a pretty sum and now the piper Is being paid.
 nt oOulflcEh League lS lOl lle Only league that is crying out that the salary lists are too large. for even the American Association has sent up an appeal to the minors to help them reduce v"'1ries. However, this could not be done this sea son. for the players have contract to play the season at stated salary, which they must receive or the courts will be called upon to give them their just dues.
 But next season is different thing. and there ~'ill he a great shaving of salaries, Where man now gets $500 he will get $15O. the effect being to make the maxi mum salary $200 instead of $40O. as now.
 Memphis is sad to have the largest salary list, where. up to a month ago, Shreveport was the one. Nashville comes among the lowest. Tn an interview in The New Orleans States this week Fish CT says:
 peared in the papers some days ago about the large salaries now paid to the players in this League. The figures that I gave ton of the New Orleans Club which I think l nut Town a few hundred too low. but all the rest are absolutely correct. The salaries paid by some of the clubs are out of all proportion to the patronage that some of the clubs are receiving, and unless salary limit is hXed some of the smaller clubs will be bankrupted sooner or later. Memphis Is paying far too high salaries for the drawing qualities or the club. It is the same way with Shreve- port and Montgomery, neither Of which are drawing any too well. There IS only one club in the circuit that can ~ay large salaries and that is New Orleans. The Pelicans can pay $1,0O0 a month more than

Billy Taylor, who formerly played third base for Chattanooga and Atlanta, ask ing if he could find a berth here.
 This wholesale returning of jumping players from the coast is due to the na- be signed in New York, under which the outlaw coast league will cease to exist and will become a member of the National Association. Then these players who have jumped contracts and gone to the league, cannot play there. This is the reason they are hustling for jobs in their old haunts. Parrott and Hulseman have already been sent tickets.
 The officers of the California league have sent 'telegrams to President Kay anaugh that all Southern League men in their league who jumped contracts can be had if tickets are sent them"

Hiawatha on Baseball.

 linen, again." said Hiawatha, "I am somewhat interested In this baseball proposition I'm a red-hot, ranting rooter, Fond of extra-inning contests, Daffy over foxy team work, Always out to kill the umpire ..... When he makes bum decision. It is claimed, my little dearies, That this pastime was invented By a gent named Father Chadwick, Who was aided and abetted By old Grandad Adrian Anson. Should you ask me who discovered And originated baseball, would tell you in juffy II was Skin-the- Sassy Muskrat Of the tribe of Ojibways- Of the sporty old Ojibways, Who received their correspondence Where the fails of Minnehaha Clean and gurgle in the sunlight This young Skin-the-Sassy Muskrat Was a thoroughbred from wayback, Very game was he, and nifty; He could sit in for an evening And corral the red and blue ones, He could guzzle firewater Like a dry old dromedary Stocking up at an oasis, And it never seemed to touch him, After Scheming for fortnight All the braves he called around him And explained his proposition; Then two tearls were straightway chosen One was called the Mighty Mud Hens Captain, Skin-the-SassyM Muskrat; And the other, Heap Bad Actors. Captain, Big Chief Bite-the-Features. On a level stretch of meadow Near the shores of Gitchie Gimmie These two factions came together. Buch-Afraid- of His Reflection Volunteered to act as umpire; Up came Skin -the-Sassy- -Muskrat, Swung at several wild pitches, Hit the zone with his war club, Batter out!" the umpire shouted Whereupon the Mighty Mud Hens, Led by Skin-the-Sassy-M -Muskrat, Drew their scalplng knives and started For the luckless arbitrator, Buck Afraid of His Reflection Very thoroughly they scalped him, Then they mad him run the gauntlet. This, my children. is the story Of the ris and fall of baseball In the land of the Ojibways"

the highest priced club in the League and make money. New Orleans can pay Ma tional or American League salaries. while some of the other cities can just about pay Cotton States League salaries and no more. The patronage this season has next season, some of the clubs with high salaries are bound to go under and the circuit will be destroyed. To prevent any mishap of this kind 1 intend to introduce a resolution at the next meeting of the League fixing a salary limit for the clubs, he to allow the New Orleans club to pay S1, 900 a month more than any other club, as the city can pay 1t without trouble. for they are the backbone of the Southern League. Without New Orleans the South ern League would not exist month. The patronage given the local club and what 1t pays the visiting teams is what keeps the League going, and 1t Is for this rea- son that I believe in allowing them to pay $l.000 month more for salaries than the other teams, so as to have a club that will always be up in the race"

Patrick, Under Sentence of Death,
 May Escape.
 ALBANY, N. Y., Oct. 10.--The post ponement until Monday of argument in the Rice will case, in which Albert T. Patrick, awaiting death in Sing Sing prison for the murder of William M. Rice, led to the discovery of remark able chain of circumstances by which Patrick may escape the electric chair, not through reversal by the court of appeals of his conviction and death sen- tence, but through an amazing tangle of legal technicalities. As the case stands Patrick is a condemned prisoner in the death cell at Sing Sing prison. Nearly eighteen months have passed since the week in which he was to have died for the murder of Millionaire Will liam M. Rice, his execution being stayed ostensibly by an appeal to the court of appeals, but the records of the court show no shch appeal in. existence.
 The legal time for the filing of such appeal elapsed six months ago, and a legal problem which may prove exceed ingly troublesome lies behind the ques- ton as to how the death sentence may again be imposed upon him.
