DOPE SHEET.

Starting for the top again.
 Hand them just one more.
 Off the bottom, at any rate.
 When they hit, they hit, indeed.
 The squeeze is what won the game.
 Alcock did some neat hitting himself. Ford sat Savannah down with one hit. Gardner was the lad who stung the ball yesterday.
 Hickman is evidently out of condition this season.
 Jackson and Gulfport went thirteen in nings yesterday to tie.
 That was a jolt that must have made Msque cry Administration"
 Ragan should make himself solid again by handing out a no-hit surprise.
 Listers hit came just when it was needed, and was just at the right spot. Little Rock. after the, game, fell below New Orleans and Memphis. both of which won.
 In all but one inning Clark was invin- cible In that one, however, he was stung for keeps.
 Molesworth threw Douglass out at the plate. Gladys is still doing business at the old stand.
 Smith couldn't do thing yesterday. He scored, however, but this wasn't his fault by any means.
 Patten for Washington beat Chicago. St. Louis trimmed Philadelphia. The day was full of surprises.
 Every game in every league was played. Quite a unique record this, considering the recent interruptions of the rain.
 Paskert's hitting was the feature of the Atlanta Shreveport game, he getting a home hun. double and a single.
 Hit of Cincinnati defeated Philadelphia, yielding very few hits. What a name, that, for the punsters to conjure with.
 Malarky and Walker are playing cen- ter and right fields for the. Pretzels Ap- perious Is injured and McCann Is i'll.
 In the sixth Oyler and Walters made three errors in succession, this filling the bags. There was no scoring, however.
 Douglass tried his best to win another game with another double. and would have done so had that ninth never come.
 Billiard sat Mobile down with two hits yesterday. Mobile was led by Bruner, whom the local fans. with thinking. can recall.
 Today Ragan will be sent to the slab, and if he lands his game, one Series In the west will have come into the right column.
 Once the Baron management desired to buy Douglass. By thunder cried his Finnship, why don't you try to buy the whole team.'

 Mathewson is back to form, judging from the three hits that he yielded to St. Louis in dozen innings, and Mathew son, when in form, is the best pitcher in the world.
 There will be stirring scrap between these two magnificent aggregations all the way down the line. There is chance, too, that more than 116 victories will be won this season by that one of the two leaders in the National league which lands 'the guady and much prized."

Little Rock, May 1I.-(Special. )-After the Birmingham Champions had gone along like dead ones for eight innings, and in the ninth round duplicated the At lanta stunt, namely, drive in enough runs to win, the final count being 6 to 5.
 Like the to 3 Atlanta game, which caused so much chagrin in local ranks, one of those unique ninth inning rallies. unique in that they are characteristic only of the visitors, broke up the game; for, after Buchanan had gone along swim 1ningly for seven innings the Barons lit upon his delivery for just enough runs to win, an error by Kunkle at the plate helping.
 The game was the greatest combination of occasions for various sentiments ever witnessed on local pastures It started as pathetic, then suddenly developed into the ''hair raising switching again to the tragic. and ending with a huge dose of the funereal
 Lister the Hero.
 Whether the fact that today was ladies' day was responsible for the failure of the local pitchers to stand the going is puzzle, but there was some hidden hoodoo which resulted in the heartrending defeat of the Colts in the second game of the series.
 When Moesworth strode to the plate to open the ninth three big tallies separated the Colts and the Barons. Molesworth started the execution by singling to cen ter. Smith hit grounder to Page and Molesworth was forced at second. Satis- fled with themselves and their pets the fans began to leave the stands murmur- ing softly, "It's all over" But the end was mot yet" Gardner singled over sec ond and Alcock came up with timely two-bagger, counting Smith and putting Gardner on third. Garvin walked and hit was necessary to tie the score. Lis ter was on with his first single of the game, stinging one down the first base line and the score was tied

 Not satisfied to let the game go into extra innings, the Barons proceeded to win the game by means of the stunt which 1t is claimed was invented by the
  play was given, and oyler laid down bunt not far from Buchanan. The twirler fielded it to the plate and Kunkle tagged Garvin in time to retire hin, but the ball rolled away. Enough runs had been scored to win. Kunkel threw Lister out at third and Clark famed.
 The locals could not do anything in their half of the ninth, and the night mare" was over. However there was one bright spot in the drubbing. In the seventh the Colts landed on Clark for five safeties and one less run, apparently clinching the game. Bowcoek opened with a sharp grounder to Oyler, who threw him out at first. Kunkle singled to cen ter and Buchanan walked. Rockenfield hit safety, Kunkle scoring. Gilbert filled the bases by singling to left. Douglass was all to the good in the pinch, doubling to left and sending two runs over the plate. Miller kept up the bombardment with a hit to right Gilbert Scoring. Hess fiied to Molesworth, who caught Douglass ct the plate.
 George, the latest addition to the local pitching staff, was knocked out of the box in the early stages of the game.

An Expensive snort Cut.

It will certainly be news to most
people, says the London Globe, that
New York is a short cut for kilograms
between London and Paris and be
tween London and Berlin. However,
the fact is youched for. The messages
are received at an agreed address in
New York and are Immediately passed
on for London, Paris or Berlin, as the
case may be. The reason for this
amazing roundabout to save time is
curious New York time being about
six hours behind European time, its
wire connections with Europe are al
most unoccupied during the London
forenoon, while during the same time
European wires are often congested.
Via New York, therefore, is a .'short
cut" but an expensive one. 3@
