against the bill, and there will be de-

MONTGOMERY LOSES
 THE GAME BY ERRORS
Bum Exhibition Presented to the Fans
 of the Capitol City and Winds Up With New Orleans in Lead.

Montgomery, August SO.-(Special)- J. The Legislators lost todays game to New Orleans by the score of Il to g. The Legislators had the game won up to the ninth inning Up to the eighth the game stood 9 to in favor of the home team. Then in this inning the locals went up in the air and some of the poorest ball playing ever seen on this diamond was presented to the fans. The Pelicans de- served to win the game after such bum playing by the locals. The fans were disgusted and showed it plainly.
 Stultz pitched a splendid game and should have won, but oh my, what beau tiful support, only five errors. Bass was knocked out of the box in the first in-

BlRMINeHAM'a GREAT RECORD.
During Past Week Barons outpIay
 Any Club in the League.
From the AtIanta Journal.

From the Atlanta Journal.
 Memphis ended the week just closed but r points in front of the Travellers while the Colonels are still knotted hard and fast with the Pirates. Memphis started away from home last Sunday "A points to the good but that recent slump at Bir- mingham pruned down this lead just seven points. Atlanta and Shreveport faced the week all even and the last six days of fighting have failed to send either team to the forefront of the firing lines. This tale will be completed tomorrow, however, or by Wednesday at the latest
 Nashville dropped down to the level of Montgomery and the Fishermen and Black sox are now tied up for seventh place in the race, but three games behind Atlanta and Shreveport
 In fact, the feature of the past week was the great work of the Barons The Slag Town athletes played before splendid crowds and managed to down Memphis and Shreveport in five of the six games played. Great work for second division people. Three straights from Memphis after the addition of so much outside tal- ent was feat of no mean caible. Next tb lllt BdIOHS OUItNtDOTl ana Alldnld lead in percentage. Each of these aggre- gatlons played six games, winning four and losing two. The Travellers managed to break even on the week with three vic tories and three defeats, while Memphis and Montgomery trailed few points be- hind The leaders worked in seven games. losing four and winning three Mont gomery won but two out of the four games played, the fifth resulting in a dead haD ghtrfll do winning but one out of seven games. The record of the Fishermen was the rankest of the year
 Never before in the history of south ern sport has a home team made such a ghastly showing as that of Nashville Tn the seven games played Memphis and Shreveport stacked up GS runs against 21 for Nashville. In other words, the visit Ing teams averaged nearly ten runs per contest against three for the Fishermen. an average of over three to one.
 This horrible record has moved King Cole the official poet of the Fishermen, to another outburst of rhyme. In this ditty K. Cole tells the following story of the catastrophe:
 We hoped for better things, through all,
 But now there aint no use;
 The Jonah's here and we are "IT,"
 Since Shreveport cooked our goose.
 We thought We knowed what sorrow wuz
 When Memphis done her stunts;
 But Glks he takes our hopes and knocks
 Home runs, where Memphis bunts. "It might have been" are mournful words When in your ear they buzz;
 But, Lord. they ain't as sad as these
 We're hearing now-"lt wuz" KING COLE.

The Atlanta and Memphis papers an- nounce that Irving Wilhelm, Birming- hams former crack pitcher, will probably finish out the season with Little Rock provided Birmingham will give its con- sent to the agreement. President Kavan- augh has decided that Wilhelm cannot play with any Southern league club until Birmingham withdraws its claim.
 If any of these papers think Birming- ham will turn loose Wilhelm just for the fun of the thing they are mistaken. Surely the Birmingham management would not let Mike Finn have Wilhelm when he would prove so valuable on the staff of the Iron Makers. If they are anxious to help Finn out the management could

Divers bunch of little Whippoorwills faced the big Eighth street Smilers yes- terday and defeated them in one of the fastest games of baseball seen on the junior diamonds in the vicinity of old Mount Slag this season. The Smilers went in expecting to cinch the game with ease, but found out that the Whippoor- wills were trifle too warm.

And I guess that tickles some

The Iron Makers after setting fandom week begin their last week at home this afternoon. Little Rock furnishes the first series of contests, and on these battles will probably depend their chances for the pennant. After them comes New Or leans, and on Saturday night the 1903 sea- son of the Southern Baseball league will come to a close in Birmingham. The team leaves next Sunday for the western cir cult and wind up their checkered career in the little burg called Shreveport
 If the Barons should be so fortunate as to win as many as five out of the six games, or in fact a majority of the games this week, they will have slight fighting chance at the pennant. They will have a chance at the first division anyway, and if they finish as we'll as fourth the fans will be eminentIy pleased.
 Birmingham will probably pitch Clark or Triton today, but Little Rock has given no intimation as to who they will work in the box. Having beaten Memphis three straight games, it looks as if we ought to take at least a majority of the games with Little Rock. If Little Rock should win, however, they will have an excellent chance for beating Memphis out in the stretch. During next week all the western clubs will be at home, and in those trying days the greatest baseball war ever waged will keep up excitement in the far away territory

WILL BIRMINGHAM TURN
 LOOSE PITCHER WILHELM?

take Wilhelm and loan Finn one of the other pitchers for the rest of the season. If Wilhelm signs with Birmingham he can not get away to the National league again until he Is drafted and this draft ing fee will fully compensate the club for the amount of salary paid Wilhelm. Besides this they would be relieved of the salary being paid the pitcher loaned to Little Rock.
 If anybody gets Wilhelm, Birmingham is certainly entitled to him, and the pub lie will not be satisfied with any other proposition.
 It is announced that the deal with Mike Finn will be concluded when he reaches Birmingham today, and this conference will be watched with intense interest.

From this compilation of records it can be seen that Memphis made the poorest showing in the league with the exception of Nashville.
