SLAGPILE NOTES

For man who was thought to be In
capactated for playing ball for week
or more to come Harry Niles did very
well indeed yesterday afternoon. The
sprained tendon in Niles foot improved
remarkably during Tuesday night and the
premier second baseman of the league
showed no traces of lameness when he
ambled out to the keystone bag yesterday
afternoon. In the double-barrelled contest
Niles purloined three bases and made five
corlSing bingles out of eight times up,
besides fielding his position in his usual
style. The first time he stepped up to the
plate Niles was presented with box
of flowers and he Immediately responded
with a base hit and stole second. The
story of the games and the box scoFe
will tell how well Niles did his part.
Forbes AllcoclSs stop of Blake's ground
er past second in the first inning of the
opening game, was one of the most SEN
sational ever witnessed in the shadow
of the slagpile The hit was a sharp
grounder which passed to the left of
Stultz and consequently on the far side
of second base from Allcocks position.
At the crack of the bat the youngster
began sprinting in the direction of the
ball and he got to it just in time to
scoop 1t up with his left hand while going
Mt full speed. However Allcock recover
ed himself with remarkable rapidity and
threw Blake out by several feet. The
kid" got a hearty round of applause
for his splendid fielding stunt.
Scatter Sallee deserved to whitewash
Gears men in the second game and he
would have put a lovely coat upon the
Travellers had It not been for Ehret's
bum decision.
If Pitcher King. the young local anna
teur, wants chance In the Southern
League, he can get 1t by calling upon
Manager Harry Vaughan today. Dale
Gear, manager of the Little Rock team.
asked Vaughan II he could recommend
a promising twirler to him and Harry
recommended King. Gear instructed
Vaughan to bring King to Memphis with
him tonight and then forward him to
Little Rock. If King wants the chance
and will call on Manager Vaughan to-
day. he will be taken to Memphis along
with the Birmingham team tonight.
Tarleton. the new Baron first baseman,
reached the city yesterday and played
part of the second game. He showed up
to the satisfaction of the fans Tarleton
was formerly with the Baton Rouge team
and was Harry Niles side partner. For
the past few weeks Tarleton has been
In st. Louis.

There were all sorts Of fireworks out
at West End park yesterday afternoon
and incidentally the Coal Barons took
both games of the double-header from
Little Rock. Another incident of the af-
ternoon was the explosion of Dale Gear
most recent recruit to his twirling staff.
Mr.. Murray, the recruit referred to, is of
almost mastodontic proportions, physical
ly, and he looked very formidable to the
1900 loyal rooters when he perambulated
out to the slab to officiate in the second
matinee. but about five minutes later the
big box artist appeared as the probervial

First Gamo Close.

The first game was of that character
which has made baseball the great ma
tional pastime. 1t was replete with all
those elements which cause the blood OF
the genuine rooter to tingle in his veins,
to blow hot for the home team and
then cold against it. but 1t is just such
diamond battles as this which have made
tens of thousands of staid and conserva-
tive citizens enthusiastic baseball fans.
1t was a game bounding In base hits with
plenty of brilliant fieldires and just enough

George Stultz, alttotgh suffering with
a sore arm, annexed another victory for
the Barons In the opening contest. George
did not have his usual speed, and his
blenders refused to break with that
sharpness which generally characterizes
his curves, but as he warmed up to his
work he grew better and better and to-
ward the middle of the game he became
practically invincible. In the second game

The Run Getting.


The tailenders began scoring operations
in their half of the second inning OF the
initial game, and for few moments 1t
looked as II Stultz would be driven to the
high grass. Gear opened this inning with
q bingle to left. but was forced at sec
ond by Accorsinis drive to third. Johnson
singled to left center, Accorslni going TO
third, and after Garvin had gone out by
the Allcocls-Vaughan route. Chinn bin
gled past third and Acc" counted. Blake
then drove one to right which enabled
Johnson to press the pan. Gears men add
ed two more to their score in the fifth

reached second on Chinn's sacrifice and
counted when Allcock fell all over Blake's
sharp grounder to short.
The Barons made their first tally in the
third on successive singles by Niles.
Montgomery, and Smith. Two more were
added in the fourth as the result of Wag-
ner's base on balls, Matthews sacrifice
and corking singles by Anderson and
Stultz. The Baron's clinched the victory
in the seventh, when, after Anderson had
gone out, Stultz singled to right and
Niles double brought George home. Mont
gomery got down to first on fielder's
choice Niles taking third. The latter
scored an instant later on Smiths long
fly to right and Manager Harry's corker
to over short brought Montgomery home.
Thus ended the first lesson to the cell
lar champions.
Worried on Mr. Murray.
As has been intimated above, the Bar
ons soon had the second game in mere
canter by exploding Dale Gears latest
pitching phenom. When the gigantic Mr..
Murray wandered to the slab and as
sumed gladiatorial attitude the hearts
OF the multitude of rooters grew sick
with apprehension. Murray looked big
and strong enough to hurl thrteen-inch
shell mile or so, but the old adage to
the effect that appearances are often de-
ceitful was once more exemplified. If
Gear had had another twirler available
1t is probable that Murray would have
been sent back to the Tennessee noun
tains at the close of the first inning.
Harry Niles, first up, waited patiently

On the California side of the Colo rado river live the Yuma Indians. There are five or six hundred of them at present, while ten or twelve years ago there were a thousand or SO. This is due, however, to the deadly disease, consumption, which is killing them off fast. Having been the chief sufferers from the recent floods, they have not been able to raise their small crops this year. They suffered not the loss of their homes but also the opportunity of producing the usual crop upon which they depend largely for food.

Tom Bell returned this week from Texas, whither he had gone to stand trial for killing man some twenty years ago. Our readers are familiar with the case, as it will be remembered he was arrested last spring and taken back for trial. When the trial came up and evidence was submitted and a verdict of "not guilty" was returned by the jury without leaving the box. The killing was proven to have been done in self-defense. Guardian.
