TIPS FROM OTHERS.


1t is now young Oyler's turn to make a
profound bow to Atlanta. The Journal of
that city has given him one of the highest
compliments of the season. 1nasmuch as
he favorably compared to an old big
league star, the compliment grows even
broader.
In commenting on the work of Charlie
Babb in the recent Atlanta Memphis
series the Journal declares that he was
the livest wire that has appeared on Pied
mont field this son, unless Oyler is just
as live. The paper states that Oyler is
one of the fastest. and the best in the
business.
1t is certainty that Oyler has had
enough compliments this season to turn
the head of most youngsters. However.
the youth seems to realize that swollen
head is not to be tolerated in baseball,
and is keeping on the level.
Reports from Bugs" Raymond, the old
Atlanta star whom the newspaper boys
of that city gave the big head and ruined,
are that he is starring in the South At
lantic. Raymond last season received
more mention In the Atlanta papers than
any other man, and the player was not
heady enough TO take such putting for its
true value. He went to the bad. How
ever. he has much natural ability. and 1t
was a cinch that he would succeed on the
shores Of the Atlantic Since he has been
in that company, however, charges of
treachery have been preferred against
him, but it seems that these were I'M
founded.
The Atlanta papers are now touting jim
Fox TO the extreme limit. But Fox is al
most too wiley to lose his head. lie
seems to realize that as hot air singers
the Atlanta writer's are peerless.
Judging from the letter that c. Frank
wrote President Kavanaugh when that
official desired to know more about the
Breitenstein- Carey affair, the statement
of that manager to the effect that the
New Orleans pitcher had not been and
would not be suspended for that offense,
is hardly accurate. The letter to the
president states that Frank sent Breten-
stein home Immediately after that occur
ence and suspended him for five days
What course the president will pursue Is
unknown.
Frank did not discuss this proposition in
birmingham. In fact, he fought shy of
everything save that he was prepared to
hand his prosecutors bitter does in
case of their formally preferring charges
against him.

comedies with the prediction that Little
Rock would soon supplant Nashville in
the pennant race The American declares
that the Little Rock aggregation is very,
very weak, but that 1t Is strong enough
! to make the Firms look mighty cheap.
This Is not knocking. 1t is a wall from
the righteous angry.
The New Orleans exchanges have their
caps tipped to the Barons. They seem to
recognize in the locals pennant possibili-
ties. They even intimate that the defea t
of last week will probably be followed by
Others. This is quite an admission from
! the New Orleans writers, who are believed
to write only according to the thoughts of
one Dutchman manager on every subject.
However the opinion is a just one. The
fight will be between Birmingham and
New Orleans.
The exchanges out of Atlanta declare
that the reception to be rendered to
Charlie Frank will be unusually warm. 1t
| is very probable that the rubber ball
stunt" will be pulled off in the Gate City.
1t is said that the market has been COR
nered there. too, and that hundreds Of
the little balls will be thrown upon the
field.
| Anent the recent skit pulled off In Bir-
minghsm,' the New Orleans Times-Demo-
crat states that had rubber balls or any
| thing else been thrown upon the field in
New Orleans, there would have been a
| tremendous howl of dirty play" from the
eastern papers. There is evidently not
much love lost between the two sections.
IT looks as if the old Fritz battery,
which worked for Shreveport and which
eventually busted" will be supplanted
as the only battery of that kind in the
south by the Wells boys of Nashville.
Wells the pitcher got in the game last
Saturday, and yielded no hits. He gave
two bases, however. and hit one man. He
has great speed, according to the Nash
VILE exchanges, but no control.
Finn needs new pitchers as well as new
PLAYERS in nearly every other portion.
Jack Ely seems "sll in" in spite of re-
cent stories to the effect that he has
reiuvenated. He got in the box Saturday
but soon got out again
The Nashville papers state that Castro
and Bill Douglass had considerable sport
in Nashville Friday and Saturday, on
which days the two plyers were put out
Of the games by Pfenninger. Douglass
went out on the first day, and Castro on
the second. Castro laughed loudly at
the fate of Douglass, and Douglass re-
paid the compliment on the second day.
Douglass. who is in Birmingham at
present, incidentally, is jolly, good fel-
/ low. with quick temper, and altogether
| a great ball player. How hard he hits
| bali will be seen.

Another good pitcher would boost the
Barons game considerably. He is needed.
The double header season approaches,

Beebe of st. Louis struck out thirteen
men yesterday, and yielded but two hits.
The Travellers prefer the Barons to the
Pelicans. Few really prefer that kind of
bird.

those Birmingham pitchers are going
some"

The Nashville fans are calling for a
new team. Nothing is said concerning a
new manager.
Shreveport will tie up with Atlanta this
afternoon. Hughes will work and should
land his game.
Keith is a college mand and a young
ster. He is showing up in fast company
exceedingly well.
Memphis, after winning, lost in the
ninth. Frank has an easy time with his
kinsman's team.
If Billy Smith did not want that in
vestigation. it is too bad that 1t came
indirectly after all.
Cincinnati won a double header from
Philadelphia yesterday. The Reds must
have borrowed Lebhardt.
Billiard is pitching good ball for Merid-
ian. Bruner is one of the best twirlers
in the White Ribbon outfit,
Gfuese was sick and retired at the end
of the third. Phillips succeeded him.

Frank was caught with the goods" In
in tow by the chief of police. Frank likes
dogs.
Some think that Little Rock is the Ba-
rons' jonah this season. Little Rock is
and has always been the jonah of the
whole league.
Sallee will twirl this afternoon. Inas-
much as he has had some rest, he
should be in great form. He may break
a record Who knows?
Watt was expected by Frank to meet
him in Memphis yesterday Frank did
rot take the trouble to wire whether or
not the pitcher reported.
Memphis after losing to New Orleans,
will probably meet other reverses. Too
much travel will cause break down in
the best regulated companies.
Kavanaugh has promised an lnVesusa-
ton of the rubber ball scandal" Let
it come soon. Judge. Birmingham would
be a good spot to fight out that fight.
In the game Saturday, Ragan gave one
clean hit in fifteen innings. There were
four other scratches. This was one of
Ragan's best efforts. He deserved to win.
Now, Mr.. Frank, it looks as if you will
have an opportunity to make known that
great defense that you have prepared.
The testimony of old man "Sizer'' will be
interesting, too.
Liebhardt is the greatest find of the sea-
son, according to the Atlanta Georgian.
The same paper declares that Hughes was
already found" When Hughes first
made an appearance in Birmingham, then
with the New York Highlanders, the Ba-
rons found" him all right, and batted
him to every conceivable corner of the
lot.

LOOKS INTO BIxBY DISASTER

Harry M. Lichenstein. member of the
firm of Lichenstein Brothers, realty
and construction company of San
Francisco, is in Los Angeles for the
purpose of making an investigation re-
garding the late disaster at the Bixby
hotel. Long Beach.
Mr.. Lichenstein's company is at the
present time engaged in the construc-
ton of a mammoth hotel at San Fran
cisco after the same style of architec-
ture as that of the Alexandria hotel
here to cost approximately quarter of
a million dollars.
Relative to the Bixby hotel Mr.. Lich-
enstein said:
my investigation of the construction
of that edifce has revealed nothing
against the methods of building em-
ployed by the contractors. I found that
the construction of the hotel was in ac-
cordance with the most modern means
employed by builders of concrete struc-
lures.
"The only criticism whatever that I
would make Of the contractor is that he
attempted to build faster than the
rlpening of the concrete would allow.
Had the concrete been given sufficient
time to settle and harden there is no
doubt that the building would have
wlthstood the greatest test"

FERTILIZER PLAN

Assurances from Promoters
of Stencil Strip

Ninth ward residents and property
owners will be gratified when they learn
today that the plan to establish a fer
tilizer plant district in their neigh
borhood has been abandoned.
Attorneys representing those who "a
vored setting aside certain property on
Mcpherson avenue as stencil colony
sent word to M. F. Collins, the Demo-
cratic and non-partisan nominee fol-
councilman, who heads the opposition
to the movement, that they had decid-
ed to give up the fight
Rather than suffer attacks In the
campaign and through the newspapers
1t was deemed best to abandon tna'
locality and find another against which
no similar objections could stand.
The lots that had been mapped out
as a fertilizer manufacturing district
are near the city's garbage crematory
and are owned mainly by the Los An
geles Soap company and the Hausel
Packing company. If all plants OF this
kind would be centralized here, as the
proposed ordinance intended, it would
have enriched the owners immensely.
Residents beyond the district con-
cluded that their property would be
ruined If an insufferable stencil was
continually waited over their houses
and united in voicing their opposition
The greatest menace seemed to be
to the inmates of the Hollenbeck Home
for Aged People.

WOMEN SUMMON ASSISTANCE
Call Help for Man Struck on the
Head by an Unknown As-

The timely Intervention Of two wo-
men Of the underworld saved Albert
Little. 613 Central avenue, from a ter
rible beating and also from being
robbed last night.
Little, who is said to have been
slightly intoxicated, was passing
through a short alley between lilo and
1112 East First street. Effie White and
Dora McVeigh, IN the house at 1112,
heard shouts for help coming from be-
meath their window.
Hurriedly the women vent to the
corner of First and Alameda streets
and summoned officer Moionnier The
patrolman went to the alley and there
found Little unconscious, with an ugly
wound on the back Of his head.
1t was then impossible to ascertain
the identity Of Little's assailants, as
he could give no description of them
whatever.
Little was taken to drug store,
where his wound was dressed and he
was then sent home.

w. S. Lawrence of 1929 South Wall

Lawrence stated to the police, to
whom he reported his loss last night,
that the money was in his trousers

must have occurred then, as he no

1t is believed by the local police that
one or two members of the gang OF
thugs and holdup men which infested
the beach city for many weeks and
which was finally broken up by the I'M

have commenced operations again.
The chances for. Lawrence to regain
