Friends of the president, and there are
many, stood staunchly by him when he
was being criticised from every corner
for an alleged failure to investigate the
rubber BALI matter, and when he failed
to suspend Theodore Breitenstein, and
when he instantly sent Manager Billy
Smith from the game and from the park.
Many of these same supporters now be-
lieve that Frank has the influence over
the league president as has been charged
1t is not that he suspended an umpire,
that the criticism comes. 1t is because
he suspended a man who did not let
managers and players rule the field, and
because it Is believed by many of the
fans that the suspension was fathered
by Manager Frank. Frank had no more
control over Buckley than had Harry
Vaughn and Harry Vaughn had no more
than Billy Smith. Buckley was not dough
for the kneading of managers and ball
players. Some other umpires are. The
dismissal of such a man might cause
other field directors to go slow when
influential managers kick. Such a state
of affairs would be horrible.

Bunch of Common Sense
Handed to Billy Smith

, isn't 1t fact that Smith has spent more
money than any other manager In the
Southern league FOR players? Now, look
over your lineup and see where the
money has gone he has spent. Who have
you on your team that cost bunch OF
money? Isn't a majority of the Atlanta
players from the South Atlantic league?
Is Smith a competent manager?
What's the use of bowling just because
Smith was suspended? Much better men
than Smith have been suspended
Talking straight from the shoulder, At
lanta has no manager. This Is delivering
the goods prepaid.
The Southern league will be in exist
ence whether Atlanta is in the circuit or
not. But Atlanta viii always be. If the
present owners were to decide to take
their team TO the South Atlantic league
there would be many others who would
gladly take up a franchise in the Southern
league. This is true, is 1t not? Why talk
this kind of rot?
Atlanta-foolish Atlanta.

WALTHOUR AND JENKINS
RACED IN RECORD TIME

an exciting event, and unlike most auto
races, there were no accidents, though
one was narrowly averted, In the second
mile Mr.. Harrison attempted to pass Mr..
oswald on the lower turn and they had a
small mix-up, but luckily both men
steered clear of each other and continued
fighting 1t hard all the way through. Mr..
Oswald winning only by couple of
lengths. Time 1901 2-5.
The last event of the day was five
mile motor race between Bob Stubs
of Birmingham and Charlie Jenkins of
Atlanta, the respective pacemakers of
Walthour and Jenkins.
This event proved to be exciting and
was hard fought all the way through,
with Stubs finally winning by only a
few lengths in S:S2 20
The races this afternoon will be as fol-

Automobile race of five miles between
j. C. Turner and w. 7. Harrison. There
is quite a rivalry between these two gen

There will also be a FIVE mile open au-

all owners of speedy machines are in
vited to participate.
An amateur sprint race of half mile

The last event will be Walthour against

UMPIRE BUCKLEY WRITES A LET
TER TO THE SOUTHERN LEAGUE
PRESlDENT-WIS HIM MANY
MORE SEASONS REIGN

Before leaving for Memphis last night,
Umpire Buckley released the following
letter to The Age-Herald:
Birmingham, Ala, August 9, 1906.
William Kavanaugh, Little Rock:
Dear Sir-Your letter containing my re-
lease as umpire was received by me this
morning ] regret very much that I am
no longer a Southern league official |
know that at least three managers had
no use for me, not because of my work,
but because I was young in the busi
ness and held the hand that ruled them
on the field | was strict and probably
] was too strict to please some man
ayers and players But l am satisfied
that my honesty and frmness won me
many friends all over the Southern cir
, cult I know you received complaints
concerning me and I was accused of
| cursing you, the man who was paying
me. behind your back.
This hurt me very much. but as I
| thought it over I began to forget 1t be-
cause l considered that 1t came from an
| individual who is not worthy of notice
This was the first time I was South and
| ! have been discharged because my work
was not satisfactory. I had my troubles
| like all umpires, but. as I said before,
| a good deal of 1t was brought on be-
| cause I was "a kid in the business and
spect from men who had been in the
game all their lives These were the re-
marks of some managers. Well. | Won
, der II they ever stop to think of the
| time when they were young in the
| business No. they have not. They have
! regulations and the money and with both
! these they have put down one who is
struggling to make an honest living.
know the life of an umpire is mighty
| hard struggle but as hard as 1t may
| be- I intend to do my best to continue
| and get as high up as possible If |
| do I assure all my friends that won't

You appointed me at the opening of the
season and YOU release me five weeks be-

and always. and I am today the same
as I was the day you appointed me MY
| appointment overioyed me. My release
was a blow that 7 will never forget You
assigned me to some tight places. It was
my luck to strike such games that meant
much to either club and I went In to do
| the work of umpire regardless of what
teams they were, and I gave my decis-
ions as 7 saw them. ruled with an
iron hand, and when was through. the
rowdy ones were outside the frame and
I was satisfied that I had done my duty.
7 have been a gentleman In and off the
ball field in this league and J carried
out the rules designated. Now I am no
more an umpire in the Southern league.

AN EXCELLENT PROGRAMME YES.
RECOMMENDATIONS TO RACE
TEN HORSES ToDAY-oTHER
FEATURES OF CYCLE SPORT.

Quite large crowd witnessed yesterday
some of the best motor paced races ever
seen on dirt track in Birmingham.
Bill" Jenkins of Atlanta was out after
the scalp of Russell Walthour. brother
of the widely known "Bobbie" Walthour
of Atlanta. but Russell was also there
with the goods and they put up two of
the prettlset five-mlle meats ever seen
here.
The first heat was flying start and
was Walthours from the beginning,
though Jenkins was close up and only
sixty yards back at the finish in 900.
The second heat was what is called a
pursuit race"
At the start Walthour was on the back
stretch and Jenkins on the home stretch.
They both got down to work at once,
Jenkins seeming to prefer this style Of
race and rode like a fend. From the
start it was anybody's race all the way
through first Walthour gaining few
yards and then Jenkins. III the finish
Walthour only had a gain of 50 yards.
Time, 900 fiat.
The amateurs failed to turn out in as
large numbers as expected, but three of
the youngsters did some very creditable
racing.
The first heat, one-half mile, of the
amateurs was won by Joe Carabella with
Howard Henson close second in ITO.
Carabella also took the second hea.
from Henson in liz 20.

Sporting Editor Lynch of the Montgom-
cry Journal says little. but when he does
talk his utterances fly in lunches. Anent
the absurdity handed out from Atlanta,
to the effect that the Gate City would
like to hide itself In the South Atlantic
league, the Journal contains the follow
ing. which is excellent:
Poor Atlanta, foolish Atlanta. This
is the silliest rot we have ever read. Just
think of II. Chief Joyner says he would
welcome a change. Lowery Arnold says,
I'VE cannot get justice in the Southern
league"
The frst thing for the Atlanta man
agement to do is to look Into interior
matters. Who is Billy Smith? Where did
he come from? What kind of experience
did he have in the management of base
ball club before he took hold of Macon
in the South Atlantic league? Look on
your books and see if Smith hasn't spent
a fortune getting players and then turn
ing them adrift? Is this not so? Again,

Montgomery August 9.-(Special)--With
q 'grandstand" finish IN the ninth In
ming Birmingham tied with Montgomery,
and in the eleventh put over the winning
run.
The game ended to 4. Both sides put
UP a bum article of ball, as far as the
errors were concerned, but Birmingham
outbatted the Legislators and worked bet
ter together Twelve hits were made off
Walsh while only five were secured off
Wilhelm.
From the beginning the playing of Blr-
mingham players showed their determine
ton to win the game, and the Squeeze"
play was worked successfully the only
time It was attempted
Birmingham started the run-getting in
the fourth. Montgomery walked Meeks
let out one to Busch. Gear hit to Young,
Meeks was out al second. but Dale was
safe on first and Montgomery on third
Gear stole second and Montgomery came

rificed to third, and scored on Gears hit

the seventh Montgomery landed another.
Mccain hit for two bags to left. was sac

one to third. In the eighth Houtz hit to
Alcock, who fumbled. and scored on
Hausen's two-base hit to left, Brming-
ham failed TO score until the ninth. and
1t looked like the game belonged to Mont
gomery.
Ninth Inning Rally.
In this inning, Garvin started 1t off with
a two-bagger to left. Matthews hit safe
10 left. Wilhelm hit to Walsh, who threw
TO Hansen. Hansen dropped the ball and
the bases were full with none out Moles-
worth hit to Perry and Garvin was out
at the plate Acock hit safe to right and
Matthews scored. Montgomery hit to
Busch and Wilhelm was out at the plate
Then Walsh tied the score by hitting
Meeks.
The Game Landed.
In the eleventh inning Birmingham UNI
tied the score and won the game by
Molesworths hit TO right and Aleock' 5
drive to Houtz. The leftfclder let the
ball go by and Molesworth scored.
Notwithstanding the close score the
game was not a brilliant one by any
means. The locals did not play up to their
standard There is one thing about the
Birmingham players-they are always In
the game. Each knows his place and what
TO do at the right time. Notwithstanding
the fact that they are crippled by the alb
Bence of Smith and Oyler, the team played
good ball Alcock had an error against
him but he brought in tie winning run.
Wordsworth also let one get by him which
cost a run. Molesworth made up for his
in hitting, landing safe three times No
umpire appeared on the field and Malarly
and Clarke did the work To the satisfae-
ton Of the players and fans. No reason
was given by the president way an UNI
pire did not appear.
