POINTERS TO RANDOM


Frank by submitting the rubber ball as proof of his alleged iniquity. Then, that same rubber ball is stolen from Null laney, and the hot-headed leader of the Pretzels is doing a trifle more than in- sinuating that Smith knows something about the alleged disappearance.
 Thus. Frank wins by creating dissen- sion in the ranks of his prosecutors.
 William Essck of Portland. the most brilliant spit-ball artist on the coast, makes the statement, readily acceptable, that it is not every man who splits up- on the ball who can throw the greatest fooler of the century.
 That this is true, is positive. Once, after splitting on the ball for several seconds, Wilhelm threw it straight as die across the rubber The batter swung, but miss ed. At another time. Vaughn instructed Ragan to make bluff by spitting on the ball, even if his strength was not suf- fcent to guarantee his throwing the dart ing wonder. The bluff Is a good one.
 Wilhelm can throw the "spit-balr' all right enough but does not attempt 1t every time that he holds the sphere to his lips Ragan. too, learned the art last season, and when he first tried it, struck out fifteen men. This season, however, Ragan has not regained sufficient strength to attempt to throw the 'spit-ball," but still he is constantly seen holding the horsehde to his lips before throwing 1t. The bluff Is an excellent one.
 How often have the papers declared that the spit ball" of this or that pitcher 'broke fine yesterday when really this or that pitcher might not have been its master.

most terrible visitation of recent years can put crimp in the tail of the national

 day was a dead ball, because someone in
 the grandstand touched it. Let us all be thankful that it was not a live" one It was a pitchers battle. all right Clark

 And now there's another. Tackaberry Is his name. He umpired yesterday in Shreveport and gave general satisfac- , tion. He is going some when he gets on with a whole hide with both the Pelicans
 and the Pirates after him.

Is it not strange how a dead one will occasionally return to life, and breathe the air for few moments? Now there S that fellow Chlds. For weeks, he has lain dormant. Yesterday, he came forth from the tombs, and handed the Barons comparatively easy defeat. No one but Molesworth could solve his delivery. He has done his stunt, however, and will probably again disappear from this world.
 The hammer was suspended in its down. ward course in the Gate City yesterday. The frenzied fans were shouting loud for the head of one Billy Smith, when the Barons tottered and fell before Doe Childs. Now, there is a general and wide spread rejoicing and even a few echoes therefrom have reached Birmingham.
 Happily, not hammer is awake in this city. The local fans know that the Barons are playing great ball, and the defeat, after a hard struggle, is viewed as it should be, philosophically. They will come. for one of Harry Vaughn's wise sayings Is: There's nothing surer than this, we cannot win them all.'
 It begins to appear to the fans of q city which is not actively connected with the .'rubber-bal" scandal of this league, that instead of getting the hooks set tied into the skin of Charlie Frank, against whose glass house so many stones have been twirled, Managers Smith and Mulaney, who have assumed the role of the defense" in this case, are to figure, too, as among the horrible ones."
 In the first place, Atlanta jumped about the ears of Mullaney, because he de- cided not to press the charges against

 and they are not "rubes'' either.
 In referring to the allegation that someone stole the famous rubber ball that Mullaney saved from recent game in New Orleans, the Atlanta News has the following The question now upper most with those who know the exact situation is Who entered the room and took the ball? Could 1t be possible that the persons recently accused of putting rubber balls in games could be responsible for the theft that is alleged to have occurred last night?
 Now, whether MT. Curtis is insnuatlng that Mullaney himself caused the dis puted ball to disappear, or whether he insinuates that Billy Smith is the guilty man, is not known. Smith was the first to spring the rubber ball gag.
 The mighty I.ebhardt and the "in- vincibe" Fisher will tie up.-Shreveporo Times
 After they had tied up. what do you suppose the writer of that short para graph would have given to have had 1t wiped out of existence? Fisher lasted one piece of one inning. and Hickman had to finish the game for him.
 The Pelcans seem to be doing q pret ty good business oyer in Little Rock manufacturing horse-collars for the Tray eers.-Shreveport Times.
 It's horse-collars now. is it? Formerly Frank busied himself with rubber balls. 
 In speaking of the ball that struck Schwartz in the face Wednesday after noon, the Constitution has the following; The 'plucky second baseman went down and out at the plate, but was soon able to be taken to the dressing room where physician looked after his troubles.
 
 Schwartzs face, and the jaw bone was dislocated, but the Montgomery player will be up and doing in short while.
 Zellar struck Schwartz in the face at the latter's first appearance in a game after an absence of three weeks.
 Nashville is not in the very best of condition, but the team is playing good ball. During their home stay they ex- pect to give Montgomery a light touch of the real article. Here's hoping that they will win all the games from Null aaneys men.-Nashville American.
 In the first one of those games. this hope carried little weight with. Mont gomery won with hands down.
 According to the Nashville Banner. lPresident McSweeney issued the follow ing statement relative to the purchase of Newt Fishers stock
 "It was absolutely necessary that the company buy the stock held by MT. ITisher before the club could be placed pn a firm footing. We made him propo- eiton, which considered a good one, and as the former catcher manager saw 1t would be impossible for him to go any farther in so far as backing the club kyas concerned, he readily agreed to ac- rept the price submitted him for the stock.
