 Charlie Frank has bought shortstop Cargo from Rochester.
 Frank Smith pitched beautiful game for Chicago yesterday, letting Cleveland down with four hits and one run.
 Pitcher Harley thinks he is hampered in his efforts on ladies days by the pres enee of too many of the fair sex. 1 The Nashville infeld is mighty weak. or else they have bad cases of stage fright when faced by the powerful Barons. Young Billiard may be given chance today He should be able to hand it to Mike Tinn's bunch without trouble. The Coal Barons stole six bases off Kahlkoff and in addition. the Nashville catcher is charged with six passed balls. Billie Smiths bunch has actually won 
 knocking and hard luck stories until the next game is lost.
 The Pirates won again yesterday. May be Memphis can stop her winning streak today and incidentally make the gap be- | tween the Pirates and the Barons little bigger
 Horseshoe" Smith still has his eye on the ball. The lucky one smashed out three hits out of four times up yester- day. Montgomery and Matthews were also there with two bingles each.
 Reagan again showed that he will round into condition before the season is much older. Rip has the goods, and if he takes care of himself and fully recovers from the effects of his illness, he will be star twirler.

Seymour stood waiting for it to come down so long that he wore out the grass on the spot where his tootsies were planted. When it arrived and Cy had carefully corralled it, he gave few | callsthentle exercises as relief from the strain of standing in one position so long. Cincinnati Enquirer.

The Climbers are good way behind the Barons in both Only one | player, participating In a majority of the | games, has batted as good as 300 He l is Schwartz who knocked them out at | the rate of .S95. The next man was 1 Apperious, who hit 24O. It seems that Ike Durrett's aggregation are not the hitters they have the reputation of be- 1 ing.
 | lue .RTkdnSdS NdZelle HdS lHe lOlloWluB | to say in regard to the Coal Barons: The | first full week of the Southern League season has been finished and has given | the fans around the circuit an opportun- l ity to get a line of the teams in the 1 circuit. As far as the race has gone there | is nothing to it but Birmingham The | Barons have met only the Atlanta Colonels and Mike Films outfit from Nashville, and they have made them both look sick While 1t was expected that Birmingham would win the majority of | the games from Nashville, it was hardly 1 thought that they would give them the 1 trouncing that resulted.
