lG1V k IN 0e the other day, Dan" Brouthers, the star third baseman of last years Climbers: Starkell, one of Durretts 1905 pitchers; Stanley and Williams ana Jimmy Dygert of last years Pelicans. Brouthers got three -bagger and single in that game, while Harry Da- wis got a couple of home runs and two-bagger. That was hitting some, and yet the Athletics lost it. Chubby Charley" is having his trou- bles again down in New Orleans, as the following from yicksburg shows: For rest Plass, who Is playing second base for New Orleans this season. has cost the vicksburg Association contderabic money, and 1t looks like the local as- sociafion is to have more trouble in order to get him. Near the end or the S2O0 for the use of Plass till the finish of the race Natchez then sold the player to New Orleans, and fin order to get Plass vicksburg had to plank was that Frank could get Plass back by paying s100 at the end of the sea son The New Orleans manager fail- Piass this season. The vicksburg man agement claim they own Plass and that they, will either get the player or else Frank will have to come across and pay some reasonable sum for Plass's retention.
 "Piass alleges that he did not re- ceive the proper reserve papers from vicksburg the past winter, and he has % sent ths esst so v EaT sends Secretary Farrell another affi- davit declaring that the proper papers were sent Plass at his address in Mex ico, where Plass and number of ball players spent several months the past winter"
 The contest revealed several things to the critical fan. One is that Reed league of the Cotton States caiiber; that the Gulfport team is also very strong and that they will be In the race all season, showing improvement as the season advances: that Mobile will patronize baseball at 50 cents Ii fast ball is played and good order pre- served, with senseless kicking elimi- mated; that the ladies will come out also at the reasonable price of admis- sion set yesterday; that with Messrs. Inge. Colsson ana Arlington at the head of the financial end, with George Reed managing the players without interfer- Mobile in 1906, and a good prospect for a Southern League berth in 1907 Mo- bile Herald.
 A Rooters' Club was organized with SSVGnly-eIEnJ meTDeTS idSl Weth anu from now on it can never be said that there is not enough noise on the b1eachers. The motto of the club IS Root Hog or Die; Root. Win or Lose George Fl. Semple. President: Harry Faber. First Vice-Presdcnt; Nose Moore, Second ice-President; J. c. Kilgrow, Secretary; J. P. Flynn, Assist urer.
 Tim Murnane had better get under cover Fox of New Orleans in screed don't know anything about the gare of baseball. The New England League will doubtless get new president at once. But stop bit. This man Fox Montgomery scorer last year that he didn't know his business, and that scoring earned runs was ridiculous And yet every scorer in the country is putting earned runs the first thing in the summary this summer.
 After the dose is handed Montgomery the bunch corraled by Billy Smith re- ficts with Vaughan's men and with Mique Finn's fellows.-Constitutio Great was the start made in handing the dose to Mondtgomery" Friday. Wouldn't 1t be shocking if "Vaughan's men" and "Mique Finn's fellows" should have the brazen effrontery to win game in the Windy City?
 For those three defeats in Birming- ham, Harris of The Atlanta Constitu- ton. consoles his readers thus: The entire colored population of Slagtown pulled for Atlanta during the entire series. When Winters scored that run in the ninth inning of the last gimc the darktown end of the bleachers rose en masse."
 That stop of Kid Busch's when he knocked Sparks hit down in the eighth inning was sensational feature of a sensational game. Stinson's one hand ed catch of Houtz long hit in the ninth was another hair raiser and it un- questionably saved the game for At lanta.
 Jay Kanzler Is the property of +he Jacksonville club of the South At lantic League and has only been fill ing in for Mike Films outfield The former Montgomery ball player played good ball when Nashville was at Attn letic Park last week.
 Montgomery made a great rally against Nashville Thursday, and B. Smith thinks it's time for Atlanta to rally. What the manager thinks usu- ally goes, so there'll he something do- ing in Sleepytown, Ala.-Atlanta Con- stitution. There's no doubt of that
 The only unpleasant feature of the game was when Smith was hurt on the hand Billy Smith called loud for doctor. but Smith, was afterwards found out was not fatally hurt-his hand was not broken" anyway.
