first that some of the teams would evade the rules, and now it seems that these prophecies have been fulfilled
 Birmingham. and in fact nearly all the teams. have cut to the required limits, but Billy Smith of Atlanta has contrived what appears to be a scheme to get around the requirements of the rule. When the road season began, and it was found that Smith could not carry all of his big bunch of players he conceived the clever subterfuge of 'suspending" enough men to come under the required limit. Among the suspensions were those of Evers, Burnum and Raymond.
 It is very probable that if the Atlanta club should meet with accidents or find it necessary to release any of the regu- lars, these suspended players would be called back into the game. It Is not known whether these 'suspended' play CTS are receiving pay for their services on the bench. but in either event the question naturally presents itself: What right has Smith to suspend them.n If they are receiving money, then beyond all doubt he is violating the league rule; ohu oh tHS Oincl II ticlI has been cut off, he has no right to in- definitely suspend them for no cause other than that his team must De cut to the specified number of men.
 An inquiry sent to Kavanaugh about the matter brought the answer that his records showed that Atlanta had reduced its team to fourteen men.

Griffith pulled off his cap, the same being companion to stormy kick on his part. Get out of the game" commanded Hurst, who stepped up te Griffith and grabbed him by the arm. Griffith jerked away, and then he and the umpire brushed up against each other. both angry and saying things.
 To the spectators 1t looked as if the next move would be punch, but players of both teams gathered around, and Jake Stahl and Kid Elberfeld pulled the two men apart so that the widened distance between them was less inviting of blows. Griffith walked over to the bench, and Hurst, a moment later walked over too There was a short scuffie under the roof over the bench and a quicN movement by Hurst's blue-coated arm. Bystanders got in between, and Griffith put on his coat and left the field, while Hurst went back to his umpiring.-Montgomer Advertiser.

 Weldon Henley, the old Southern league pitcher who has been with Philadelphia for year, is to be let out of the major league. According to reports he has been sold to Rochester in the Eastern league.
 While no doubt sympathizing with their successors, yet Dale Gear, now with Bir- mingham. and Otto Jordan, who continues to hold down second for the Bremen, are suspected of finding some consolation in scanning the percentage columns of the Southern League these days. Gear headed Little Rock last year and sui fered the keen disappointment of finish ing last. Jordan directed the destinies of the Peach Belt lads during the cam paign last year. and after having the pennant won for him by the Gate City Scribes, after their usual style. long be- fore the snow ceased to drift last spring, he was more than contented to finish well up among the also rans.

 Only six points separate the Barons and the Pirates, which just now is fraction of q game. If Birmingham, with Ginger Clark in the box, can land to- days game, it will mean lead of 3s points over Shreveport.
 The game yesterday was unusual and exciting. It was a pretty fair test of the comparative strength of the two teams and shows that the Coal Barons have excellent prospects in the pennant race.
 Shreveport holds the records for bunch ing runs. At any time they are likely to pile up several scores and game is never won from them until the last man is out
 Birmingham made a good start in the invasion of the west and has fine chance of keeping 1t up. So far this sea- son. the Barons have won six of the twelve road games.
 Wilhelm had the Pirates shut out up to the ninth inning. and it looked like an easy victory. It took twelve innings however to decide the game as both teams were playing great ball. Ury. the new first baseman bought from Dallas, will probably play in today's game.

 If the Barons could win yesterday after that long and tiresome trip, it is very probable that they will land another vic- tory this afternoon.
