WALTHOUR IS NOW
 WORLDS CHAMPION
WINS THE 1oo-KILoMETRE RACE IN LONDON FROM FIELD OF EUROPEAN cHAMPIoNs-MAKEs GOOD TIME.

London, September S.-(7:S5 p. m0-Bob- by Walthour of Atlanta won the 100 kilometre motor paced championship of the world from simar of France at the Crystal palace by 4% lengths. The time was 1 hour s3 nlinues and 57 S-5 seconds.
 This event was the feature of the day. The starters who did not include Dick entmann of Holland. the holder. were: Walthour, America; Gsrble, Italy; Han sen, Denmark; simar, France; Wonder stuyft, Belgium, and Andemars, switzer- land.
 Simar led at the start but was over hauled and passed by Walthour at the twentieth lap, notwithstanding the fact that at one time the Frenchman had a lead of a lap and half. From this point it was evident the race lay between Wal thour and Simar. who clung together alternately taking the lead. Six and two thirds miles were covered in 9:56. Wal thour led at the end of the hour. having covered 40 2-3 miles. The Frenchman was then one-third of mile behind. Gerbie, who was third and riding game ly, fell when he had covered fifty miles. He was not seriously hurt, but retired.
 Walthour held the lead with Simar pushing him all the way to the finish. Vonderstuyft, Belsium's rider, was third. The contest was conceded to be one of the finest long-distance cycle races seen in England.

Games Today.
Little Rock at Memphis. Shreveport at New Orleans.


 For the first time in many moons the Coal Barons lost their accustomed ginger yesterday and without murmur or com plaint fell before the onslaught of the white-haired McMal1in, while the crowd from Crackertown pinched off the neces- sary hits, and aided by Slagtown pebbles, got away with the game.
 Birmingham l.. Atlanta 3.
 In the first inning Birmingham lost golden opportunity, and thereafter the Baron chances gradually faded away. In this eventful inning there were three men on bases and nobody out. Smiths out field fly scored one run, but with a man on third and second Pat Millerick cracked one square on the nose. It started over third on a dead line but one Mckay made a flying leap in the air, speared the of ficial package and before rooterdom had aroused herself third bag was touched and the side was cut on a double play.
 Hard Luck in Second.
 Again the hard luck came in the sec- ond. This time Birmingham had man on second and third with only one out. Gin ger Clark lined a beauty to center field but the distance was so short Hennessey could not leave third and Duffy went out to short on a red-hot grounder
 On dead ball a stolen base and single Atlanta landed one run in the first inning and 1t was a case of nip and tuck from then until the eigth. Right here the game was broke up. Koehler landed on Ginger for long single and Morse es- sayed to bunt. Ginger paved up the ground trying to field the ball and both were safe. Demontreville's grounder ad- vanced them both a peg and Clarkes Texas leaguer to the left field did the business. Another tally was thrown in for lagniappe in the last round and it came after two men had perished. Cro- zier reached first on Lynch's bad throw but was forced out on Scott Winters grounder. It was then that MT. Koehler appeared with big piece of timber and lambasted the ball against left field fence for three bags, scoring Winters. Koehler tried to stretch the hit into homer but was thrown out at the plate on close decision.
 Game Was Uninterestinu.
 It was not an interesting game though the work was of the big league order at times. The Barons on several occa- siops played like lot of washerwomen. Tn them the ginger was not and with a total absence of pepper the crowd grew tired and homesick The main reason for the Baron defeat was the lack of work with the willow. Five little singles and some of them scratches couldn't de- liver the goods and notwithstanding the fact that Ginger Clarke pitched pretty game the Craekermen had him surround ed The next games will be with Mont gomery beginning next Monday Two games will be played. The morning game will begin at 10 o'clock and the afternoon fight will be called at the regulation hour.

for argument in the number of games that Montgomery forfeited to Nashville by refusing to play. According to rules of the league home team has the right to say whether a double-header will be played or not. Under this rule they can not forfeit but one game in one day. The report sent out from Montgomery saying that both games were forfeited possibly means that the games on Thursday and Saturday were the two forfeited.

From the Montgomery Advertiser.

From the Montgomery Advertiser,
 The treatment that Montgomery has re- ceived from President Kavanaugh this summer has been, to say the least of it, rather peculiar In a majority of nearly every one of the home series Wood has been sent to Montgomery, while a man who has the reputation of being one of the squarest umpires in the league-Arlie Latham-has never once been sent to Montgomery. Wood left last night, how ever, and Latham, for the first time this season, will be sent to Montgomery to umpire the Nashville series.
 Jimmy Tamsett will probably be in Mondays games, and he will prove tower of strength. It is to be sincerely hoped that he will be well again in few days.
 The question now arises as to whether the players at montgomery will be fined for refusing to play ball. notwithstand- ing the fact that they had not been paid In their contracts their salaries are guar anteed by the league. Knowing this, or having had an opportunity to know it, they still refused. Will they be fined?
 Harry Vaughan is making arrange ments to play the Coal Barors against a picked team from all the strong clubs around Clnclnnatl at the Ndllondl ledBue park in Cincinnati on Sunday, September 25. All the members of the Birmingham team will go north via Cincinnati about that time and can put up the regular club. Mnahan will probably pitch the game and as he has been sold to Cincin- natl he will probably prove drawing card and the players can have chance to make some extra spending money
 Abner Powell had a great scheme which he intended to work at the Atlanta park If he comes close to the pennant. There was formerly a big sign board in the park which interfered with the bat ters in seeing the ball. This was re- moved and their batting improved Powell proposed to put the sign back and place green curtain over 1t.

Yes terday met Jackson on the street and asked him what about Pylant He re- piled, Well, Birmingham has signed him, but since I corresponded with you the club has changed hands,"

 In the list of reservations of the Amer ican association, as given out. appear the names of four Travellers, Householder, Granville, Watt and Gilbert. There is considerable hot air going the rounds about where Mique Finn will be manager next year. It is believed here that this reserve list of St. Paul, containing the names of four Little Rock men, is a strong straw to show which way Mi1ue will blow Other former Southern league players in the list are Roy Montgomery, with Louisville; Allemange, with Indian apolis; George Wrigley and Fred Abbott, with Columbus; Hugh Hill. with Kansas City, and George Moriarity, with Toledo.
