 Funny thing, this baseball. Nickens was like Christmas tree to the Pret- gels and yesterday he got back at the hardhitting Pirates.
 Who was saved by the wet yester- day. Lev and his bunch or the Pret- 5 o'clock this afternoon.
 One Reuben Waddell still seems to be some pumpkins. He made Lajoie's fence breakers resemble bunch Of Epworth Leaguers yesterday.
 Hogg is developing into one of the winning pitchers on Clark Griffith's staff. He made Bill Armour's Tigers look like bad money yesterday.
 Southern League baseball has been developed to such state that enc er- TOT, one hit, or one little slip-up of any sort may decide the game In the old en time a batting rally of several runs did not mean that game was won ar lost for the other team probably would run or two better. One run IS deci4- ing lots of games these days. 
 Baton Rouge won Wednesdays game by a curious decision of the umpire. With the score tie in the seventh in ming. with man on third and enc out, base. EShaffer made q run for it, got his hand on the ball. but dropped 1t, the runner at third coming in. Um- pire Mclaughlin ruled that shaffer dropped the ball on purpose and that the batter was out and the ruaner safe. The game was protested by the Jack son manager.
 Charley Elsey is the first of Fishers men to prove disloyal during the play ing tng,ns season IS He made de miGhty at outlaw league. Manager Fisher caught on to the negotiations while the team them PayRRs n tRs bnd n AteRt pa sPRd sS who Is managing the Altoona club. is close personal friend of Fisher and when the matter hi r te exRlained to him the big first baseman Is on his kpecs.
 The Little Rock paper starts off it's account of Fridays game with the Pretzels as follows:
 Twas but a dream,
 Then waking would be pain.
 O, do not wake me-
 Let me dream again."
 Pinch myself, Rooter, Pinch myself copiously and make sure. But 1t seems true, anyway.
 Little Rock has actually won a game the first since May 5, by the way, when the Travellers walloped Shreve- port to tSe tune of Il to T.
 Bob Gilks made the following manly apology to Judge Kavanaugh:
 T am very sorry the incident oc~ of the game. My temper got the best of me and I lost my head for d moment and struck Umpire Burke in the face. It was a close game and from the start he gave us all the worst of it, and his decision at second base In the seventh inning, with run coming over the plate was the worst l ever saw. When l walked out to talk to him he said he would have me taken from the field by a policeman and proceeded to do so. l do not make 1t hard for umpircs and never have as long as I have been in the business, and, further, I do not al- low my players to do so. Burke gave saw, but with all that it does not ex- cuse me for doing what I did. 1 have not been fined by an umpire or man ager in the twenty-one years l have been playing ball, I regret very much that the affair took place. However. I | am not trying to make excuses, and 1 expect to be punished, but I sincerely | hope It will never happen again"
 Newt Fisher is one of the managers | who is opposed to the use of ,he spit which makes the bali sticky md i'm: i'm: possible Tor the use of the spit ball delivery, but he forgot it. Then he i sent Accorsini all over the grounds and around to the saloons looking for the licorice chewing gum, but he failed to find if, and Dygert's delivery remained just as effective as ever. Fisher is credited with having sworn that he would bring out pepper and any old thing that would put the spit Dali out of businee~ The Cleveland team tried this pepper game on the delivery of Harry Howell. who is second only to Chesbro in the art. Fisher got his idea from that crowd of big 1aaguers and says he will work 1t today if Glendou attempts to use the hateful delivery.
 Umpire Bassett not only put Adams out of the game. but he touched uD Bennett, Swindell and Elsey to the tune of $5 each for talking back, and under the League rules this sum must be handed over at once or the player will be suspended-New Orleans Plea yune.
