 Alas. poor Lem!
 Call him anything but Easy streit Where will the batting averages be next Sunday?
 The Black sox wore out several bats yesterday.
 
 Diminutive Busch was large par. of yesterdays contest
 One more from Newt and then Uncle Abner's troubles begin again.
 Mir. Fisher expressed sorrow that it didn't rain in Nashville, also.
 How about the series now. MT. Fischer? Don't think so well of it. do you?
 The Montgomerians made enough er- TOTS Monday to last for some time.
 What will become of Frank Wilson Sun day If the locals continue to hit like they are doing?
 Birmingham didn't lose a game yester- day-it rained Likewise and ditto Shreveport
 The Nashville manager saved Bailey to go against Streit. Well. Whistler didn't object.
 And Sunday is Oscar Streit's day to pitch. Poor Uncle Abner, we feel for him but it can't be helped!

 Louis Polchow or Sis Hopkins today And either of them will win with such hitting and fielding behind them.
 It begins to look as If nobody will beat Little Rock until they reach Montgomery. And then somebody will be in second place for keeps.
 If the Black Sox tarry in Nashville much longer Newt Fischer will be crazy for sure. My. what headaches he and poor Lem must have had last night!
 Magician Herman will probably oppose Sister Hopkins this afternoon. The Black Sox have once before demonstrat- ed that they are on the Herman's tricks. Wonder If Newt Fischer can't spring g few more "hnds' on us in the box? Something, on. the Johnston order will have the batting averages of the Black Box acting Ike patent baking powder, From Birmingham come reports that yielded with the forpssef pile drivers.

Manager Fisher will send King" Bailey to the pitchers slab this afternoon and | the King will be opposed by Streit the crack pitcher of the Montgomery team. The contest should prove rattling one yesterday We'll, there is no question | about the ''rattling" feature. But how Newt and the Nashville people were tick led Is another question.
 Newt is having his troubles The Amer ican says:
 "Outfelder Cooper has truly skipped" He left Manager Fisher letter in which he stated that he was going to his home in Canton, O., but 1t now develops that he has not, in my opinion" said Mana ger Fisher, he has gone to the Sacra mento Club of the California League Cooper went away owing Manager Fisher quite a sum of advance money which he had not worked out. His defec- tion, however, will not be any loss to the team, as in Feldhaus Nashville evidently has man thoroughly capable of filling Cooper's shoes in every way. Feldhaus is fast on his feet and has fine batting eye"
 The Nashville American of yesterday says
 Manager Fisher has accepted the terms of Pitcher Cooney Best. who f1n- ished the season of 1902 with Cincinnati and Best Is expected to arrive from Newport, Ky, his home. some time to- day. Best is a first-class box artist. and has pitched successfully in nearly every minor league In the country with in the past five years. With him to as- sist Herman Bailey and Russell, 1t be- gins to look as If Nashville will have one of the strongest corps of pitchers in the league. This is what the team Is needing just now, and Manager Newt's early re- alization of the situation Is 10 be com mended.
 " Nashville will not be occupying a lower seat in the pennant race very much longer in my opinion said Manager Fisher Monday night. If I discover that I haven't got team that will finish well up. I will do everything in my power to get one that will We have had a little bad luck up to now, but I do not offer this as an excuse. I think we will be able to show the Missouri patrons of the game in Nashville within very short time now
 Good start yesterdav afternoon
