AZ. POWELL EXPLAINS.
Says Coterie of Men In Atlanta Are
 After Franchise.

From the Arkansas Gazetts
 Manager Alb Powell of the Colonels lays all the blame for the little unpleas- antness which has recently arisen over his team to few disgruntied parties in Atlanta, who, he says. are jealous of his success and are after the franchise for their own personal gain. He claims that they are the instigators of the $50 per game ordinance, which is now pend- ing before the city fathers of the Geor- gia capital but which. according to Mir Powell. there is small chance of passing. The Atlanta boss also says there is but small probability of his franchise being transferred to Mobile.
 ."rhere Is a bunch in Atlanta who are well ware of the good business am do- ing,' said Mir. Powell to a Gazette rep resentative, and they are anxious to ob- tain my franchise through purely selfish motives, and 1t is from these people that all the knocks emanate. As far as trans ferring the club to Mobile is concerned, there's nothing doing-its a matter that . in the hazy distance. However, fl the ordinance which is now pending before the Atlanta city council is passed it will set tie baseball down there for all time to come. have the game on . good basis

Entertaining Celebreties.

From the Reader Magazine for June.
 A new and. in all respects, surprising novel of the autobiographical type says; .'There was one mistake l almost made about this time. l had thought that I might bring into New York the English and French fasion of entertaining celeb rites literary, political or scientific For tunately before I had the opportunity to meet them l learned what mistake 1t would have been. To belong to the Literary Set in New York is to be hopeless. Anyway, most writers are m- possible Their energies have gone into another channel than that of what I might call bodily, expression. They do not know how to dress, they are seldom pretty to look at and l have met very few who have any idea of conversation"

Advice to Authors.

From the Reader Magazine for Junes
 Living by authorship is an extreme hazard which surprising number of per- sons undertake but wherein amazingly few succeed. The price which many pay for perseverance in this hazard is con tinuous output whichNsooner or later earns the contempt of the public and defeats it's own ends. Above all things should an author be sufficiently independent of his royalties to be able to write when and what and how he pleases. Let him teach or edit, for a livelihood, let him expound the law or the gospel, let him be what he will. of what he can, for the necessities of ife-and if he be Sn ardent author. loving to write above all things he will not let his necessities be too demanding but let him never think of the financial returns of book producing as other than the sheerest speculation.

Shreveport. May o-(special. )-Aiioway made his initial bow to the Pirates this afternoon and his manner was so suave that they took to him at once. A single double and a triple In succession was the initiation fee charged by Gilkes and Smith. Norcum and Alexander were ap- pointed a committee to collect the pen atty. They did 1t. and after that Harry Vaughan quit playing. He was not feel ing just right. What Alloway's reserves did for him during the remainder of the game makes a solemn story to tell to Slagtown fans. In justice to them, how ever, be 1t said that they were not much more to be blamed than the man who was on the firing line. Alloway dished out free transportation too promiscuous- ly This habit of his gave Shreveport at least five of the ten runs that were made.
 There Is still another feature of the contest-the Iron Barons failed to land on Bob White. They got six safe bin gles, 1t is true, but no two of them came in the same inning Wherefore-but 1t tells it's own tale. White was also rath- CT magnanimous in the matter of free bases but he kept cool about it until the ninth inning when he threatened to go up in the air and then failed to carry his threat into execution.
 Looked Bad.
 With all that the atmosphere was clouded for the brief space of about three minutes and had the Barons ral- lied with the stick things might have been interesting after all With three runs to the bad, Alloway opened the last half of the second with a base on balls. The next man went safe on a f1elders choice. advanced on an error by Tamsett and scored on a single Three more runs were made in the third inning on two bases on balls. helder's choice an error by Millerick and two singles in success sion.
 The Barons made their first run in the third when Tamsett led on with a single that Hennessey let get away from him, Tamsett taking third and scored on an error of Millericks grounder to White. There was no more scoring until the sixth, when Norcum singled stole second and scored on Alexander's single.
 The Barons scored another run in the seventh, Tamsett drawing a base on balls going to third on Alexander's wild throw to catch him at third and scoring on Millerick's double to left. The Pirates scored their last two In the eighth on single by Smith, errors Mllerick, base on balls a stolen base and another single in the order named.
 Trouble in the Ninth.
 There was q flare In the nineth, but it quickly subsded Alloway started it with slow grounder between White and Weikart and the former let it get away from him. Mnahan followed with long drive to left center, which Hennessey dropped after a hard run Millerick drew a base on balls and bases were full with nobody out Lynch singled to right and Alloway and Mlnahan scored. Smith hit a grounder to Schaub. who threw to second too late. but Holly fielded quickly to first and caught Smith. Han ley got free transportation and bases were full again with only one out. The best that OBrien could do was to send a short fly to left, which Gilks caught and doubled Lynch out at second. ending tho game.
