kindness for Johnstone is not any too ex- tensive.
 In eo2 the race between Little Rock and Nashville for the pennant was most keen. It was known. after the home stretch had been reached, that the race was between the two. Nashville on the last road trip. stopped in Little Rock to play the series on which all depended. Nashville carried Johnstone along to um- pire the games. Incidentally Nashville carried King" Bailey. too, then the star twrler of the Selma team. Just after the beginning of the first game. Johnstone de- eided close point against Little Rock, and Red" Wright, stepping rapidly across the field, knocked him down. The umpire forfeited the game to Nashville, was arrested, and put in jail. A mob formed, and had the umpire appeared on the streets, he would probably have been lynched. Nashville won the pennant by one point.
 It is remarkable that just four years ago the two teams now fighting 1t out for sub way honors. were then scrapping all over the south for the leagues pennant.
