 | through an error At Tech he famed six | teen of Heisman's hitters and allowed but | three hits. At Clemson he famed sixteen more, allowing six hits. All told in 32 in- nings of work he has blown out up to date 54 men. allowing but nine hits. His Mercer battle. where not a hit, run nor walk was recorded in ten rounds, is the banner slab event of the season for either college or league play.
 President Caruthers Ewing of the Mem phis baseball club has received word from the Brooklyn baseball club that Eddie Scrap Iron) Beecher has been re- l leased by that organization. The many ball fans here in Memphis and vicinity will be glad to hear that Beecher will not play in the east as the third baseman of the pennant winners l is a great favorite here.
 Beecher has not as yet signed to play with any team, but the probabilities are that he will play again with the pennant winners, as he did last season. but he is still holding out for his terms and the chances are that in another twenty-four hours that scrappy will be on the pay roll of the local team.
 Beecher was signed last fall with the Brooklyns along with Arthur Goodwin | and Harry Mcintyre, and President Eb- pitts thought that Beecher would make a good man for the eastern team but the third baseman did not care to play with the eastern team and said that he much preferred Memphis to any other town when it came to playing ball Tommy Stouch, who heads the Merd- ian team, which has been here for the past three days, will probably get Dwyer and one or two other players from At lanta. Neblett was sold to him by At lanta, and the Atlanta papers have an- nounced that Dwyer and at least one other player would be tin canned to Tommy.
 Already Stouch has an aggregation which should take fall out of the oth- CT Cotton States league teams, and if he picks up a couple of more good play CTS it looks as if he will have cnch on the rag. W
 hard luck that promises to result disas- trously for Newt Fishers birds. He has three men out of the game already. and so far it has been impossible for him to replace them. Reising broke his leg recently and it will be two months at least before he will be In the game again. Granville. the fast little infielder, has sprained his ankle and it will be weeks before he can wear uniform again. Ad- ans was hit with a batted ball while pitching several days ago and he may not be in the game for some time to come
