ALL ABOUT IT.

J. PluV. butted into TWO or the games.
 The change in the batting order should result in good.
 Reulback of Chicago gave St. Louis but one hit yesterday.
 Guese had everything, and New Orleans scored an easy victory.
 What has become of Umpire Kennedy? Echo answers, "What?'
 Wilhelm had everything not even for getting a little carelessness ss
 Dugan is little and wiry snag, and has well supplied stock of goods.
 Lush was easy for New York yesterday. He was pelted some fourteen times.
 wadden. by the aid of Lord. won an- other game yesterday for the Phillles.
 Dugan and Coogan-who has ever heard better names for the golddust twins? 
 Scanlon had everything yesterday. and no Bostonian got to second base. This is a record.
 The Films are playing very even game-losing all the time.-Nashville American.
 Umpire Rudderham, because 1t looked cloudy delayed the game some ten min utes yesterday.
 Twenty-Five put-outs in his first days work is going some even for man as large as Meeks Had there been no rain, the attendance would have been tremendous. Watch the crowds this afternoon. Meeks declares that this league is as fast as the one he came from. There is no doubt of that fact. Nashville had several chances to win the game. but the little hit that was needed would not come. The Finnite found Little Eva" missing 1 in all but four innings. He pitched eleven | innings without giving single hit. Instead of raising row. as he did twice in Shrevetown, Finn was very quiet yes- terday. He did chew his moustache. Mque will not discuss his fatal after noon in New Orleans Sunday. Frank has his way with visiting teams in that city.
 The Nashville Americans calls for the release of Umpire Buckley. Any change, in any direction, but would benefit the Films.
 "Chesbro Back to Form" was the re- fran of those New Workers when they saw where he had given Washington but three hits yesterday.
 The Atlanta papers are bowling that Atlanta has not as yet won the pennant. Atlanta will be in the race, and there should be worry. Because Mulaney and not Schwartz was made manager of the Climbers. the latter gentleman has taken to the woods. Where he is cannot be told. For the first time Birmingham has failed on a squeeze play. Had Wilhelm not taken nap. however, the failure would not have occurred. Those players coaching at third should keep their eyes open. There was little use in stretching the game yesterday into fifteen inning contest. There Is developing much discussion relative to the alleged triple play that Birmingham made in Shreveport yester- day Was it really triple? No. Errors by Oyler and Alcock, while they spoiled the game, can be excused. Oyler, aided by Walters. really got his man, but Rudderham thought differently. Cleveland has establish a firm lead in the American league race. Detroit in spite of it's dislike for Cleveland, gener- ally bites the dust when the two meet. Stolen bases are accountable for Pitts burg's victory yesterday. There are too few bases purloned in this league. Play CTS depend too much on bunts and sacri- fees.
 Birmingham is slowly easying the steel in Shreveport. There is no just reason why the Peicans and the Pirates should lead Birmingham, Montgomery and At lanta
 Mique Finn has developed placid quiet ness. It Is barely possible that he didn't desire that his letter to President Kavan. augh be made public. It has taught him a lesson.
 Castro's work at short yesterday was little less than brilliant He and Bohan- non are unquestionably stars and 1t is hard luck that their stars directed them to Nashville.
 Gilbert came near as pease cutting l Molesworth off at the plate while "Gladys' was scoring the winning TUT. The fast Finnite stopped Gears drive with a single hand.
 When the Birmingham fans see Nash vile, they wonder that the Finnites are so low in the race The work of the team. individually, is exceptionasy good They do not seem to pull together.
 The Arkansas Gazette publishes photo graph of the rubber ball that Frank is alleged to have used against Mont gomery It is safe to say that Judge Kavanaugl has now heard of the incl dent, at least.
 Gear should be given rest. His field ing yesterday was decidedly off color To those who know how brilliantly the popular player can field his exhibition yesterday was sufficient proof that he is out of condition.
 Umpire Buckley was glad of the rain | yesterday. He had no trouble with ball l players. The Commercial-Appeal is out | in an article defending the youthful indi- | cator. Either the players of the league | have 'it in for him. or he is incom- | petent. ffles
