residence that the southern CllHldle was dreadful. Newlin was not up to the stand ard. and it is probable that Chief Zim- mer reminded him of the fact that 1t was hotter in Dixie than in Maine, and that it would do him good to go where 1t was cooler.
 '.In addition to pitching hitless game Monday" says the Atlanta Georgian, ''Mllhelm secured two hits out of four times at the stick. One performance was about as remarkable as the other.'
 Wilhelm occasionally does the latter stunt Once upon a time, when the Films were leading the Barons by score of 3 to O. Wilhelm laced out double and a triple, thus aiding in twisting the tide in the way that 1t should always go How ever, such hitting on the part of pitcher is excellent at anytime, and even re- markable.
 The Montgomery Advertiser Is account able for the following: "1t has been pat ent for some time that Mullaney Is sadly in need of some pitchers, but never has IL been so forcibly demonstrated as yester- day, when the vaughnites literally hayed alive Burnum and Breitenstein
 In the first place, the Advertiser man Is given the information that Mullaney all ready has two pitchers-Maxwell and Nal larky He Is sorely in need of others. In this connection the Advertiser man Is in- formed that Mullaney has now acquired a new one. His name Is Walsh, and he halls from Ft. Worth.

If Theo doesn't mind he will tackle a little man of his own weight some day, who can wiggle between fellow players. and from what we have seen of Theo we think that we can pick the winner. al- though the match may not yet be made"
 Incidentally the New Orleans papers claim that Carey made assault on Breltensten. and that the old man simply intended a defense of his own pugnacious countenance.
 Umpire Billy Carpenter was the best umpire that tHe OOutltih ico6p nus in its history He ruled with an impartial hand, and the games In which he ofici- ated were free from all dispute and row dyism. The Atlanta Georgian refers to the fact that Umpire Carpenter continues to get away with his decisions in the big leagues. Any man. honest ana impar- tial, with bit of ability. who fears noth- ing, and a ball player least of all, Will al- ways make good. This apostrophe to um- pire Billy recalls that the southern league Is in need of other good men.

The Atlanta Georgian. incidentally. refers to the difficulty that the press has In cor rectly spelling the name Tackaberry.' Let the press alone. old boy, for if the new umps can deliver the goods. the fans do not care whether he knows how 1t should be spelled himself.
 In speaking of the game in which Will
