SOME REAL LIVE TOPICS
FOR FANS TO FIGURE ON

There is no reason" quoth foxy
Clark Griffith. chieftain of the New York
Americans, why Mr.. Sallee. the Birming-
ham pitcher, whom have drafted, should
not make good in the American league
next season. When in the Magic City
of the south last spring, where we prac-
ticed with the Barons I was impressed
with the work of the long fellow, and
then and there made up my mind to en-
ploy him when the occasion presented it
self Unless l am mistaken, the young
fellow has capabilities, and 1 will give
him a thorough try-out."
There is the tribute of the New York
Highlander to the Birmingham pitcher
whom he has drafted. On account OF
the excellence of Grifith's judgment.
Scatter Sallee should feel compliment
ed The local admirers of the long fell
low know that naturally he is first among
the younger twirlers of the league. He
is at that stage where he will have to
exercise care. This, Griffith will see to,
it is certain Sallee is assured a berth
with Birmingham in case he fails to
please the fastidus Mr. Griffith.
In the meantime, the members of the
Birmingham aggregation of pennant
chasers are amusing themselves at the
expense of the youngster who will paddle
his canoe In heavier waters. While on
the coaching line yesterday afternoon,
Sallee was accostei by Dale Gear.
Bring down your mind from the top
of that skyscrapei, shouted the Baron
field captain, you have not yet arrived
in New York.
If Madame Rumor backed up by the ir-
reproachable Michael Angus Finn, is a
criterion of sufficient Importance to de-
mand attention AID belief, Red" Thomas
Fisher, the we'll known twirler of the
Shreveport staff, is destined to sit among
the elect next season as manager of the
Pirates.
When reminded yesterday afternoon
that Miss Rumor was thus handling his
name. the ppular fellow smiled broadly,
but offered no explanation In rhyme or
prose. Manager Bobbie Gilks, when ac-
costed in the same strain, shook his head.
indicating thereby that he was able to
offer no conflrmatiOn or denial.
If the story Is true. the fans in Biz
mingham will offer Fisher the gland hand.
He is we'll known for his gentlemanly
bearing and ,senldlity. He is popliar
everywhere; at home and abroad. He
will be a credit to Shreveport and the
league.
In this connection, 1t is reported that
Gilks is slated for a better position.
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1906-09-04

What his berth will be. or where, Is I'M
known. 1t is intimated that he will get
out of the league.
Umpire William ]. Buckley, the South
ern league. field Indicator, who received
a premptory dismissal at the hands of
President Kavanaugh some time back,
has landed berth in the Eastern league.
In letter to the sportin editor of The
Age-Herald Umpire Buckley says:
Il mall you herewith clippings showing
that I have again got my feet upon the
diamond. l wish to thank the various
sporting editors of the south for the en-
enlargement that they gave me, and for
the words spoken in my behalf in the
hour of my rather unexpected dismissal. l
am well pleased with the new berth, and
believe that l will give satisfaction. I
look back on my days in the Southern
league with pleasure, in spite of the heavy
clouds that appeared towards the end,
resulting in a storm in which l alone
suffered. For no one in the league do [
hold a grudge. 1t is all forgiven, and
we will try to forget. | have nothing but
the best of wishes for everyone in the
south. | congratulate you on the excel
lent record of your team, and on the prob
ability of the landing of the rag
The clpps referred to were most COM
plimentary to the best umpire that the
south has claimed since the days of Billy
Carpenter. 1t is said that his salary Is
excellent and there Is a general pleasure
that his name is enrolled. There are
great many fans in Birmingham who will
be glad at the tidings.
At the present season nears the stage OF
the following leaf there is rather
noticeable cessation of the charges un-
officially made and hastily suggested by
some of the sporting writer's of the south
against Judge William Kavanaugh, pres
ident of the Southern league.
Just at this time the face impresses
itself keenly that when aagin the direc-
tors of this good company meet to choose
a head, the choice. probably unanimous,
will fall upon President Kavanaugh. His
reelection is assured The local associa-
ton Is for Judge Kavanaugh as unit.
Harry Waugh is in favor of re-electing the
present chief executive. The majority OF
locals fans hold the same views.
On the other hand, there is a remark
able revival of the discussion relative to
certain changes in the league While this
is true. it is hardly prohaDIe that such a
move will be recorded Shreveport is
weak branch of the tree as is Little Rock.
Chattanooga under the leadership OF
Dodds and Strang is red hot to get in
the skirmsh as is Mobile Either would
be preferable to Shreveport or Little
Rock But 1t is hardly probable that sucn
an end devoutly to be wished Will occur
in another season.

Yosemite STAGE Held Up.

Players Switched.


Players Switched.
On account of bum wrist, Lew Walters
did not figure In either contest, the key
stone territory being entrusted to Lee
Garvin. The catcher played the position
to a queens taste, and in the morning,
one of the three runs maze by the Barons
was tailed on his singfe. There was
more drastic change in lineup on the
part of the Pirates. Tom Fisher played
right field, Kennedy having been switched
to center. King was pulled from center to
shortstop Considering thc5e changes, both
teams played good ball. and the games,
while being rather slow and tame, were
really enjoyable.
one-handed catch by Daley In the
second inning of the first game prevented
a tally, as Garvin would certainly have
made the circuit on the terrific drive taat
Matthews smashed out. In the fourth In
ming of the same game Fisher made
spectacular catch of a Texas Lacquer from
Garrins stick This prevented a score.
The "heady" work of Castro and Hess
were features of the second game, while
the fast work of Smith and Gear in the
field won applause.
The third game of the present series Will
be played this afternoon, beginning at
o'clock Wilhelm will twirl for the locals,
while Gilks will probably oHer Lee for
the Slaughter. The officia scores of the
two games follow:
