TIP FROM OTHERS

The Arkansas Gazette, as well as others,
picks Memphis to land the rag this sea-
son.
Memphis is at present playing the most
CONSTANT ball about the circuit, with the
single exception of Birmingham. Babb
is one of the best managers in the league.
and is that kind of a man who inspires
the best effort of his players. Yes, the
Memphii are certainly in the race, and
Birmingham, New Orleans, Shreveport,
Atlanta and other aspirants may just as
we'll make up their minds to tangle up
with the men OF Babb when the home
stretch is nearer finished.
The Atlanta Georgian does not believe
that Manager Vaughn is within the salary
limit. This is natural, and no one finds
fault with Mr.. Whiting for his views 1t
is perfectly natural that every person
should think every other person blacker
than himself.
If that bunch of Slagtown ball players
should happen to fall in river. they
would come out with a pocket full OF
fish. Shreveport Times.
lnlS remark was MACE AFTER odllee Woli
the game Friday over Fisher. The writer
thinks the squeeze" play a great piece
of luck
Captain Castro of Nashville is under
going a weeks suspension. He used, 1t is
said, obscene language to Pfennlnger, and
the umpire suggested to Kavanaugh that
he be suspended. This was done. in spite
of the fact that insolvency tried to beg
the player off Castro's absence will aid
Atlanta in annexng three straights this
week.
And Jakey Atz cried when Buckley sent
him to the bench Well, what do you
think of that? That brazen faced Jakey
Atz weeping from his hammer heart! He
was simply furthering the Fisher stunt.
He claimed that Buckley cursed him, and
that this brought forth tears.
This stunt sAls the limit. Who is Atz'
press agent. anyway?
CAPTAIN Castro invests in Nashville dirt.
He is burying himself alive. He will make
his permanent residence there, because
the city is quiet and peaceful. Otto Jor-
dan, according to the Atlanta Journal OF
other days, invested in Atlanta real es-
tate. and Bobbie Cargo, just before his
death. made arrangements to acquire
residence in that city. These players are
not investing with the idea of making
money. If they were. they would buy
Birmingham dirt
After an absence of thirteen years, &C
cording to the Nashville Banner, Dusty
Miller is back to his old camping ground.
Miller left Nashville thirteen years ago,
and is now again at the point from which
he started. The Nashville American
states that Miller. in his first game, let
fall some repartee that kept the specta-
tors smiling. Fhis is the old Dusty"
ono ~ the best in the business when he
tries hut who sometimes doesn't try very
hard.
Elmer Duggan is making mistake
common with young ball players. They
value their services too highly, and some
times try to hold up the management.
Now Duggan, the younger refuses to go
with Nashville, in spite OF the fact that
he has been purchased out right from
DAYTON, until he is paid salary for
twenty-four days that he did not serve,
and is offered a salary that he demands.
This reminds of the Delehanty stunt In
birmingham last season. 1t is probable
that Elmer Duggan prefers Atlanta to
Nashville, and that he is acting on tips
handed out by the Fireman manage
ment.
The Nashville Banner claims that Jack
Ely is the hard luck pitcher of the South
ern league, and attributes his defeat by
the Memphii last week to errors by Wells
and Gilbert This exchange says that he
pitched excellently In tight places, but
that invariably he was bested by the
miscues of his support.
The Atlanta Georgian's amusing sport
ing editor states the reason of Cargo's
leave taking was his fear of berths sleep
