Umpire w. J. Buckley who is the off, rial in the present series between Bir- mingham and Atlanta, is probably the youngesN umpire of professional ball in the wo1
 Buckley TT B years old. and this is his second s< a league of any size. He has, howe,. been preparing himself for the work for six years. In that time he made a careful study of the rules of the game, and has had wide experience in amateur ranks.
 Last year he umpired in the New York State league and made very creditable record He was recommended to Presi- dent Kavanaugh by "Bill'' Carpenter, the popular umpire in the National league, but formerly on the Southern league staff.
 Buckley's chief characteristic is the manner in which he sllences lxickers. AL ready this has been demonstrated here. Jordan has received two fines and Win ters and Manager Smith were shown the way back to the city.

The first bitter dose of the season was administered to the fans yesterday after noon when "Ginger" Clark got the worst of a pitchers battle with Teller. The Coal Barons were able to land but two meagre hits off the delivery of the man with the nineteen strike out record Score, 1 to 0.
 Ginger pitched a good game, but his team mates did not hit behind him. and thereon hangs the tale. It is practically an impossbility for a game to be won with two hits.
 On several occasions a hit would have brought in run, but the necessary ar ticle was not forthcoming. Monte got safe one through second in the first in- ming and Walters hit to left in the next act After this nothing could be done with MT. Teller, who bears the added cognomen of "Rube."
 The only run of the game was made in the third. At that time it looked al- most insignificant, but each succeeding inning added to it's size and when Monte flew out in the ninth, it's magnitude was astonishing.
 How It Was bone.
 Crozler first up, flew out to Molesworth, but Winters sent one past Carlos Smith that was good for two bags Smith rap ped d pretty bngle to center. but quick throw by NIolesworth held Winters at third Clark relayed the ball to Walters in time to catch Smith who was attempt- ing to stretch his hit. It was at this
 ftf. .l,.a rot through MattS, and Winters trotted home with the only run of the game, the run that ment the first defeat of the sea son for Birmingham. Morse then hit to left for one base, but died there when Matthews made a phenomenal catch of Jordan's foul fly.
 Jordan was fined 8 in the third inning for his actions, which Buckley did not think in keeping with the best interests of the game. The second baseman had registered a kick and did not obey the command to keep silent. Billie, Smith wanted to know what right the umpire had to fine Jordan under the circum- stances, and the manner of his inquiry was deemed sufficient by Buckley to jus tify his expulsion from the grounds. A kick by Winters in the fourth met with like punishment, and Stinson, with Macon last year. took his place in the right garden.
 The Atlanta batting order was changed from the day before Hoffman was re- placed at third by Sid Smith and Archer did the receiving act The regular third baseman was suffering from bad case of sore arm. and has been sent back home by Manager Billie Smith. Tibald is ex- pected to cover the third sack today, but in the event he falls to arrive, the line up will be the same yesterday.
 Either Reagan or Sallee will twirl for the Barons this afternoon, and Bugs" Raymond, the eccentric one. will off, ciate in that capacity for the Boosters. The game will be called as usual at 3:3O o'clopl
