TIPS FROM OTHERS.

Instead of deploring the assault made on
Umpire Campau by bunch of Atlanta
hoodlums the sporting editor of the At
lanta Georgian chiefly regrets that matter
because it reminds too much of Mont
gomery."
In the midst of this serious proposition.
in other words, Mr.. Whiting sees fit to
allow his sense of humor to get the bet
ter of his judgment. As matter of fact,
the assault reflects i'm no little way on
the good name of Atlanta, and that city
should cling to Montgomery as the other
soiled sister of the lea que If because
the assault smacks of Montgomery alone
causes Mr.. Whiting regret. then 1t would
have been better had he passed 1t up
without comment.
The Atlanta Journal is very kind to Bir-
mingham at present, and the city and the
team, and the players all come In for
their just share of applause Yesterday
the paper contained cut of Wilhelm
with an account of his seasons record
The comments made on Little Eva" are
most complimentary. How bitter must
such favors to Birminghams players be
to some of the other dopists of that terri
tory.
The sporting editor of the Atlanta Geor-
gian wishes TO be very correct in his
every detail. 1t is remembered that when
Gilks was last in Atlanta, the Georgian
quoted him as having said that Birning-
ham could not win pennant, because the
other managers had 1t in for Vaughn.
When Gilks was in Birmingham, al the
time of the last meeting of the league
directors, he was pinned down. and de-
MED having made the statement credited
to him. When again Gilks enters Atlanta,
the Georgian issues a challenge to him TO
that he did mako the RI.
in question. Whether or not Gilks accept
ed that challenge Is unknown.
In answering the query of one of the
New Orleans writers as to the identity of
Lowery Arnold. the Atlanta Journal uses
the answer to the same question which
recently was contained in The Age
Herald. Following this line, the journal
states that Mr. Arnold doesn't desire the
office, that he was never mentioned for
the place until Birmingham papers con-
sidered him, and that since the statement
from Kavanaugh to the effect that he
would again ask for the position, nothing
concerning a successor has been stated
This practically ends the Lowery Arnold
boom. a boom which he himself hardly
sanctioned.
Pitchers are occupying much attention
in the exchanges at present Down in
New Orleans they are still discussing the
disappearance of Minahan, and the ac-
QUESTION of Cyrus Watt. In Montgomery,
the fans are rejoicing a the acquisition
of BARLEY, and grieving the condition of
Burnum. who is at home with Appendix
citis Nashville is happy because Buch-
anan has the goods, and Atlanta is griev-
ing because Elmer Duggan has been re-
called to Dayton In Birmingham, the re-
cent fall-down of Sallee. and the need of
another man. is the theme of converse
ton.
Since Judge Kavanaugh has declared
that there will be a meeting of the direc-
tors of the league to hear why Atlanta
will not pay the $500 forfeit to Charles
Frank which is roundabout way of
learning the real weight of the rubber
ball" matter. nothing appears in the
various exchanges concerning those old
subjects which have been threshed bare.
The sooner the president calls that meet
ing the more will every one be pleased.
If Charlie Frank Is washed whittier than
snow, and the directors do the washing.
then the charges against Charlie will be
hushed up for good.
The papers about the circuit are de-
claring that Birmingham has an excel
lent chance to land the pennant The
fans are thankful for those remarks. The
exchanges. however, take some pleasure
in referring to the fact that Birmingham's
pitching stan. while being good. cannot
maintain the present gait through the
double header season. This is probably
true. but the Barons. II is learned. are
preparing to get stronger right now.
