place promises to be warm when the clubs meet in Montgomery. It will be Greek meets Greek"
 Montgomery, by trimming the Little Rock orphans and wanderers frightened it's grip on second place, but 1t must meet and vanquish both Shreveport and New Orleans before 1t can claim the place. It is a ten to one shot that New Orleans will not drop six straight games during the next period of play.
 The Atlanta News, the paper of which Frank Buxton Is sporting editor, editori- ally denounces Otto Jordan for the as- sault upon MT. Buxton. Such conduct on the part of Jordan should bar him from Atlanta and every other Southern league team. According to reports Jor- dan struck Buxton from behind. The player offers to apologize, but the damage has been done.

 Otto Jordan should pull his freight out of Atlanta, and for the good of the sport in the south. out of the league.
 Joe Hennessey Is another one of the modest" members of the mutiny crowd who is asking for something, Joe wrote a letter to President Kavanaugh asking the head of the league to have him trans ferred to some other club.

President Kavanaugh referred the letter to Presi- dent Baugh of the local association, and Hennessey has not been transferred.

It is understood that as the race is so close between Shreveport and Montgomery, President Kavanaugh has agreed to let the only umpire in the league, Carpenter, officiate. during the series between the teams. There will be fun in the capital city when the two teams meet. Mark the prediction.

Those Highlanders are working out plays all the time while off the diamond and if they don't win the pennant 1t will not be for lack of trying to outwit the other fel- lows'
 Wonder if Delehanty's recent modest de- mands are part of the lessons taught him concerning the national game by his major associates?
