TIPS FROM OTHERS.

"In case 1t is necessary, we will test
that ruling"
Thus speaks Billy Smith in an Atlanta
special to the Nashville Banner. Smith
has previously stated that there was no
baseball rule. nothing in the national
commission. nothing any where that pre-
vented his returning to the game when
ever he saw fit. provided he was within
the proper limit. He states in this spe-
cial that he has discussed the matter
with Harry Vaughn and that both agreed
that they had a perfect right to go into
the game again when they saw fit.
It certainly looks that way. Judge
Kavanaugh. as it is understood. has given
no reason for his action in declaring that
Vaughn and Smith cannot return TO the
game nor has he made himself solid by
reference to any rule governing similar
cases.
Chief thinner is quoted in Atlanta as
having stated that 1t was Just the same
down in New Orleans that Frank con-
tinues the use of the iced. rubber and
punk balls when the visitors were at
The bat He remarks that this matter
cannot be proved, however. and thinks
that 1t will be continued indefinitely.
"If | were President Kavanaugh, |
would go down TO New Orleans. and
when things look suspicious | would
enter the .fiela, get possession of the ball
and cut It open President KaVanaugh's
actions are no business of mine, but that
is the way that l would do
Thus thinner is quoted. OF course,
thinner has Just as much right to criti-
else the presideu, of the Southern league
as any other manager.
The Nashville Banner. in referring to
fine statement that Judge Kavanaugh Will
again accept the presidency of the South
ern league, declares that there are 9TH
ers too who have just such a laudable
ambition" The exchange refers to the
fact that the salary is a fat one, and that
the work is done by "A secretary. who Is
paid by the league The article then
states that Newton Fisher was not popu-
lar with the president, and wonders
whether the president is fond of Nash

Newt once thwarted the plans of the
president and declares that II reports

One of the criticisms made by certain

lanta News is that Kavanaugh loved
Frank toe well. A slight difference of
opinion here.

The above is from the Montgomery Ad-
vertiser In this connection. Birmingham's
team, it is noticed, is always respectfully
clad on the field one of the neatest ag-
gregations of the entire circuit. The plan
employed by the locals is TO leave their

It is a great misfortune that rain falls
Just at this time. Who knows but that
the rain, in case It continues throughout
the week. will be the means of Blrming-
ham losing the pennant? How much bet
ter it would have been If the deluge had
waited until the Barons took the paths.
Rain has now prevented two games of
three scheduled for this week. It looks
as if there will be a spell of It. These
games scheduled for the slagpile should
come in lunches to the Barons. The
Barons right now are in an excellent
frame of mind. and are just in that con-
dition which brings good results. They
are full of ginger The rain is most I'M
fortunate. SO unfortunate in fact. that
q great many fans looked through the
long night to find out just how it would
be when the morning broke.

the paths, and have a laundry to get after
them. On their return. they appear at
the park in garments snowy white. The
road uniforms are laundered while the
team Is at home. The prescription Is very
simple, Null.
The Nashville Banner ventures the
prophecy in half earnest and half-iesting
language that Birmingham will not fly
TIE pennant this season. That prophesy
may be correct. And it is perfectly nat
ural that the representatives of the Firms
should not desire any of the top liners
to win out It would please them inn
mensely if none did. 1t is human ma
ture for a man in trouble to be trifle
jealous of those who are more fortunate
In the garnering of the goods of this
old world The prophesy may be cor
rect.
Another familiar face his hiked itself
out of the Southern league. Herman of
Nashville, who has tWirled ball in this
company for many a season. has jumped.
He went to his home in Louisville and
will retire from the profession. This loss
leaves Finn with three pitchers. He Is
after Karmen of St. Louis and Slagle of
Minneapolis.
Herman at one time was the Jonah of
the Birmingham club Invariably. in the
old days he succeeded in handing the
Barons defeats. II was one of the easiest
propositions of the league this season.
however. If Finn can land another good
man. Herman will not be missed.
The acquisition of Bird by Little Rock
will change the Travellers lineup. accord
ing to the following from the Little Rock
Gazette:
Bird covered center for New Orleans
and while he is an outfelder he will prob
ably be moved up TO second on the Lit-
tie Rock team Noblett, who has heen
playing second. will likely be shifted TO
short. and Johnson. who has been cover
ing short. will probably be added to the
regular pitching staff of the Travellers.
Johnson has pitched two games recently
and has developed into one of the best
slabmen on the Little Rock team"
Johnson is a valuable man. and will
soon develop dnto one of the best twirlers
of the league.
The Southern league clubs chances are
sized up this way by Comedian Bewley;
Memphis-A little more Babbling and
the flag Bouck's good.
Shreveport-Will have 20 win Daily to
capture the rag.
New Orleans-A whole Cargo OF rub
Der balls won't win pennant-
Birmingham-If they don't get out OF
Gear should finish fourth.
Montgomery--Can't make flag pole out

therefore, the probability of open vot-
ing, or political moves made in the. clear.
is not very keen. There will be always
the master strokes of diplomacy on the
part of the shrewdest, but this work,
while requiring the greater skill, and the
more scientific tact, never causes a
direct change in government
Judge Kavanaugh has made an excellent
president Those organs which have
aligned themselves with the opposition
admit that fact freely. However, the
west should not forever home the presi-
dent of the league The east is really the
important half of the circuit, and is justly
entitled to its share of the honor.
However. 1t is not probable that Judge
Kavanaugh will have opposition in his
move to succeed himself after the present
term.
Little Rock and Nashville both lose con-
sistently.
This scrap for the championship of the
subway grows more interesting day by
day, and from an impersonal standpoint
at least. over-rides the battle for the
leadership.
For several more udys, II Will Oo d mat
ter of dispute as to which of the three
top-liners will assume the upperhand.
There will probably occur several drastic
changes. But in the case of Little Rock
and Nashville, there can be but one
change While some time ago, Nashville
was out of striking distance, today the
Firms lead the Travellers but by four
games. They will now scrap 1t out among
themselves. All the league is at atten-
ton.

POINTERS TO RANDOM


Cheer up! What would life be without
rain?
Jupiter Pluvius may sometimes save Biz
mingham from defeat, but in this instance
has caused the loss of the first home
series this season.
On account of the fact, however, that
only one game was pulled OFF, Birmjng-
ham may boast still that no series en-
tirely played on home grounds has gone
to an enemy. This is a record of the
Southern league. New Orleans will not
be able to break 1t.
Give greeting to the Pelcans!
Behold in Frank the personiication OF
greatness, the man who pays magnificent
salaries, and overcomes all opposition
The visitors perhaps make up the
strongest aggregation of the league. The
pitching staff is composed of many bril-
liant stars, the infleld is perfect, and the
gardens are kept by worthy players. But
watch the Barons beat them
There is one thing that Frank hasn' t
counted upon. Too many stars will work
hardship. Each will endeavor to make
its twinkle more brilliant than its fell
lows. A team that strives for individual
records is always failure. 1t would be
slur on the judgment of Monsieur Frank
If his millionaire aggregation crumbled
to dreadful ruin
1t Is now settled fact that the politics
of the Southern league will be continued
es now-sub rosa.
Since Judge Kavanaugh has intimated
that he will again ask for the presidency,
1t is generally conceded that he will meet
with no opposition.

FIGHT IN SIGHT IN OHIO
OPPONENTS TO BOTH SENATORS
HAVE BUSINESS AHEAD.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
COLUMBUS. Ohio, September 1.-There is
no longer any doubt that the opposition to
Senators Foraker and Dick will wage open
and desperate war upon them in the state
convention which is to be held In Davton
September IL and r.
The opposition will be led by Representa-
tive Theodore e. Burton and Harry M
Daugherty Of Columbus. They are in close
conference with each other upon the prop
osition Accepting Senator Dicks proposal
that the delegates themselves vote primar-
lily on the principal platform planks. and
as to whether Senator Dick should again
lead the campaign, Mr.. Burton has sue
gested also that the convention thus ga
on record as to whether It fayors ponular
election of United States senators.
There is no doubt strong opposition
among the republican voters to both sena-
tors fully as strong as that against Gov.
Herrick last year. but, like that feeling, 1t
IS not likely to be represented in the con-
vention very largely. It looks as though
not to exceed four Of the seventy-one con-
gressional districts would be against the
two senators, viz, the twelfth, nineteenth,
twentieth and twenty first.
Senators Foraker and Dick are in perfect
accord, and their organizations are working
for their mutual interests. 1t seems prac-
tically certain now that in spite of the
fight Burton and Daugherty are making on
them, both senators will be Endorsed as cor
daily as they could wish, and that Senator
Dick will be asked to direct the state cam
paign again.
