Garvin had his batting eye back with
him yesterday. One hit was two-sacker.
Atlanta baked at the purchase price,
$500, and will not get "Baw Bill Cannon.
Five games out of six won against
Shreveport and New Orleans on their
own ground does not look much like the
soapy chute that was predicted.
New Orleans had eight men left on
bases, which shows that '.GInger" settled
down when men were on bases and also
that the Barons did some tall fielding.
Birmingham is still 70 points in the lead.
Montgomery has a chance to trim Mem
phis this afternoon and the Barons should
win again, and then the lead will be
nearer so points.
The fans are truly sorry that Birming
ham is disappointing the western scribes
by not losing. But accidents will happen.
Five out of six times and Birmingham
will win day after day. despite predic-
lions.
"Old" Breitenstein of $4,000 beauty
fame, is back in the game and should
strengthen New Orleans in the box. Rick
ert has not recovered sufficiently from his
illness to be of great value to the team
yet, but he should be in good shape again
before the Pelicans start on the eastern
trip
Castro was going the pace yesterday.
Two hits and one run 70 mis- credit In
four times up and one or those hits was
for two bags. He gets more and more
valuable every day. The South American
predicted that he would play great ball
with winning team and so far he has
carried out his prediction.
Every winning team made three runs
yesterday-no more and no less. The los
ing teams made 1t pretty hot for the win
ners as two very close scores and two
others fairly close will show.
All the winning teams made total of
only 12 runs and the losers totaled only
runs.
Clark pitched Thursday and allowed
Shreveport only four safeties and yes
terday let New Orleans down with only
five. He won both games. Wilhelm or
Sallee probably the former, will do the
twirling today.
Little Eva" has had rest since last
Monday and he should be in fine form
today.
President Baugh of the local baseball
association yesterday wrote President
Kavanaugh, giving him full particulars of
the Castro deal by which Birmingham got
the South American in exchange for
nice check.
The other teams are protesting against
Castro's playing with Birmingham, claim
ing that he was secured only until the
end of the season and against the con-
stitution and bylaws or the Southern
league. They are therefore protesting the
games played against Birmingham when
Castro is in the lineup.
President Baugh expects to hear from
Mr.. Kavanaugh today or tomorrow In
the meantime Castro will continue to play
with Birmingham. according to instruc-
lions from Kavanaugh. and 1t is almost
certain that the games will not be thrown
out at the end of the season by the
board.
The matter is not settled yet, but prob
ably will be settled today Should the
Barons have to give up Castro by order
of Kavanaugh there Is another man who
1t is said can be secured who will make
Birmingham valuable player.

considerable, the discovery of a single
ball-tosser enables the club to quit with
more than an even break during these
times when lines on young blooddd ball
players with the right mai cup are selling
from $500 to $5O00.-Memphis Commercial
Appeal.
The latest hero in the sporting world
is the chubby South Carolinan, Sid
Smith, who seems to have struck Ne gait
of his life during the past four days.
Sid has played the most important part
in the winning of the last three games
of the Memphis series.
His work behind the bat has been SUI
perb, and just one base has been stolen
off him in three games He has thrown
out seven men trying to steal in the three
games His stick work has cut a most
conspicuous figure in all three games.
As a utility player, Smith is one of the
best in Dixie. Last year, when with
Charleston, he played every position on
the team except that of pitcher, and he
thinks there are now worse twirlers in
the Southern league than he would be.
1t Is funny thing that Smith thinks
he is poor third basenlan, and doesn't
want to play the position. 1t Is true that
he is not a Bradley or even a Babb. but
his work at the last corner, taken day In
and day out. is far above the Southern
league average But Smith says he never
feels certain of himself at third never
loses a certain nervousness, and is al
ways fearing a disastrous bobble.
He prefers catching to playing any 9TH
err position. 1t looks as though that is his
forte.-Atlanta Georgian.

The question of State rights involved lin the question of Japanese school chill dren in California, as might be expect ed. stirs up the southern statesmen. Senator Morgan of Alabama thus stat sd the situation to the Baltimore Sun. California has the same right to sep- arate Japanese, Chinese, negroes and Indians from her citizens in her public schools that she has to separate males and females, men over twenty-one years of age, and boys under that age or degraded persons from those who are virtuous, or infected persons from those who have good health.

 HALUABLE DEAD HORSES.

Where there is honey there are flies
 and where there is money there are
 folks after it. It has been surprising
 to those who have paid attention to the
 matter that the Confederate horse claims, for which congress has appro- priated $300,OOO in all, in three separate lnstallments, have attained the propor- tions they have More than two thou sand such bills have already been filed against the government. When the sub- ject was first introduced a few years ago it was expected that the needed amount would not be more than $10O,- 900, which would satisfy seven hundred of the claims, if there were that many in existence. The claims are from Com felerate officers and soldiers who were returning home after Lees surrender. They were molested by Federal troops who did not know of their immunity, specially granted, and so suffered the loss of the animals. A rough estimate made some time ago did not show that more than five hundred officers and men who had served in the Confederate army could, by any possibility, have suffered such a loss at the end of the war, but the claims have kept coming in with the required afidavits, and there has been nothing to do but pay them. The time limit of filing the claims has expired, but there are those In the War department who believe that the period will be extended and that the claims will continue to be pre- scented.

 HEARST DEFE4TED SOWF

All the eyes in this country will be on the returns from New York this morn
 ing, and what they see will not be
 wholly encouraging. Those who wanted
 to see Hearst rousingly elected will not
 be elated by what they see, and those who wanted to see him rousingly de- feated will not feel that he was defeat- ed enough. They will fear that he is likely to continue to be something of an issue. If he had been "buried" un- der the ballots he might have stayed dead, and perhaps he will be discour- aged now. But his previous perform ances do not indicate that he will be, and perhaps we are to have two more years of Hearst, after all. Time Will tell. Meanwhile, those who have been contending against him are entitled to feel good over the somewhat moderate defeat of him.

Sir Jimjones was a noble knight | Of most imposing mien, And when he talked with all his might
 The hall would shake, ween. Of spellbindors both far and wide None could match up to him; To speak he could not be denied, Though audiences grew slim. Upon the stump he took his stand
 And made the welkin ring; From Burrillville to Block Island
 He talked like anything, Tn good left hand his manuscript,
 The other slicing air He simply tore and slashed and ript
 His opponents for fair. One eve it fell that Sir JIm]ones
 With words armed cap-a-pie Prepared himself to rend the bones
 Of every enemy With bated breath reporters sat
 To snatch the fiery word, And none could tell where he was at
 Until that voice was heard. Launched his Philippic lance. the stroke
 Full tilt as from a stot. Struck home. but as the word was

 small voice murmured. 'Rotw A flush swept o'er the knightly face,
 But yet he paused him not Again essayed the coup de grace
 Again that small voice. 'Roti' The icy draught from crystal glass
 Refreshment gave, God wotl Then charged again-again. alas,
 A little louder: "Rotp Eftsoons did good Sir Jimjones strive
 His faltering steed to trot But now the place seemed all alive

 In sooth, he quit the game. O, never more in that fair land
