BARONS KICKING
ON UMPIRE'S WORK
BUCKLEY THINKS TEAM is UN-
JUSTLY HARSH AS RESULT OF
FAULTY DECISION RECENTLY
RENDERED IN MEMPHIS.

Umpire Buckley's work in Yesterdays
game came in for a good deal of sharp
criticism from the Birmingham players.
They say that he allowed Ricxert to
walk in the tenth when he should have
called strikes on him They claim fur
Their, that Bird did not touch second when
he scored on Blake's two-bagger. They
contend that he cut the base by two feet
Lou Walters was standing on the bag at
the time and says that he could not pos
sbly have touched 1t. Silent Lou, who
seldom takes issue with the umpires, dis
puted the decision SO strongly that a fine
OF s. was imposed.
Umpire Buckley states that he was re-
peatedly cursed by several of the Bir-
mingham players in and out of the game
He thinks that they have a great deal of
hard feeling against him, which originated
in Memphis when he called Wordsworth
out in a very questionable decision. Buck
ley says that he was very probably wrong
in the decision, as a number of his friends
liz Memphis said So He thinks, however,
that one bad decision should not cause
the hard feeling that has evidently been
engendered by that in Memphis.
Buckley went to New Orleans last night
with the Pelicans and will return with
the team tomorrow. He will officiate in
the games here Monday and Tuesday. The
work of Buckley In the first home series
here was excellent, and ii is thought that
he will soon get over his off days. If he
was wrong in his decisions yesterday.

Mark Twain is immensely popular

exchange experiences and both profit
thereby. The genial numorist tells of
one farmer who purchased a hunting
dog that was highly recommended to
him by man who did not seem par
ticularly reluctant about parting with
It. When the dog was delivered the
farmer looked it over with consider
able misgivings. 1t seemed shy and
bashful and hardly the animal it was
cracked UP to be. Anxious to give it
a trial. however. he took it out shortly
afterwards and, as luck would have
it, ran across a fox. The dog took af-
ter the fox and the two were soon out
