SOME MOVES INTENDED
 BY MANAGER VAUGHN

Manager Vaughn, immediately after the game yesterday evening, announced 10 a number of fans pressing about him, that his men had been excellently treated on the road trip recently ended. "The fans and the players in the various western cities" stated the big manager, now seem to realize that those stories fioated abroad early in the season by some of the big guns of this league, are untrue. It Is now generally understood that the Ba rons have the best record in the Southern league for good behavior. both on the field and in the hotels. Only one Baron. Mat thews, has been put out of game, and believe that the umpire on that occasion in Memphis acted hastily.
 This being true, the Barons were treated splendidly, and we have no kick to register. Instead of being threatened with policemen, the jail and eiectment from the field, every courtesy was shown the players and the result is that they acquitted themselves in a most eommend- able manner"
 The Barons are in the game to win. ac- cording to the big manager. There is a total absence of internal dissention

haps in the most serious condition. As his injuries render him unfit for service and as he is too valuable man to be sub jeeted to the risk of continued playing he should be given short rest. This will probably be the course pursued by the manager Manager Vaughn stated last night that as soon as Montgomery was re- covered he would be stationed on third, and probably Alcock switched to one of the fields. This will give Gear 8 much needed chance to cure himself thorough ly Alcock is a fast man, and will deliver is doing himself and the club an injury to remain fixed at his post longer than is absolutely necessary. His strained back caused him to allow two singles to stretch themselves into longer hits yesterday af- ternoon, and that he cannot swing and run bases as is his wont, is we'll known.
 Beginning tomorrow. there will be d change in the lineup. Alcock will not lead off, as he did yesterday, but will give that place to Molesworth. Smith will fol- low Molesworth and Alcock will be next in line. Meeks, Gear and Walters will then follow Oyler, either Matthews or Garvin, and the pitcher will bring up the rear. The advantages of this change are readily ap- parent. Meeks is too valuable at present to occupy the position that he had yester day. The change will be valuable, it is be- lieved, and will be another aid in the Barons race for the pennant.

One statement made by MT. Finn, how ever was interesting. It Is hardly. prob able that he made these remarks, how ever for publication. Manager Vaughn ity to see what was contained in ball, cut it open. Finn forgot himself. He remarked that he saw the ball that was opened in Shreveport, the one that Man ager Mullaney charged was put in game against Montgomery by Manager Frank. ''The ball." said MT. Finn, contained the little rubber sphere that 1t should. This much was all right. However, in addi- ton, it contained a considerable quantity of rubber. The little rubber ball instead of being wrapped with twne, as it should have been, was completely covered with strands of rubber. It was simply rub Der ball. and there's nothing else to it."
 These words of Manager Finn were stated in the presence of Manager Vaughn and President Baugh MT. Finn did not say whether or not Manager Frank used the ball in q game. He was simply making some interesting remarks concerning one certain ball. He even declared that he doubted whether or not MulIaney could prove, even if he chose to, that Frank had slipped the sphere into a game.

QUIET MlQUE DISCUSSES
 MULLANEY'S RUBBER BALL

Since his last appearance in Birming- ham, Mque Finn, grand mogul of the Nashville aggregation, has assumed d quietness that is painful. He sits and sighs, and sighs and sits, but nothing from between his teeth will issue. Just what causes this change in the formerly genial fellow, is unknown. However, this is true-he now says nothing.
 On account of the financial distress that besets Nashville, which information was contained in letter from Finn to Pres ident Kavanaugh, and read at the annual meeting of the league directors in Br- mingham some weeks ago. anxious fans yesterday afternoon pressed about the visiting mogul, piled him with questions. To none would he deign an answer. "1s Nashville really in sore distress?'' ven- tured one bolder than his fellows. 'Is 1t true that you were unable to issue the pink slip to several players on account of lack of funds to pay them?" But Mique said nothing. He even refused to vouchsafe a nod of the head when some one asked if he played, and went down ill a double-header yesterday. He did not discuss his alleged treatment in Shreve- port, in which city he was twice eject ed from the park. He was absolutely quiet.
