 There looked like a regular warfare in the fifth, when Umpire Eldridge declared a banx and allowed Warrender to score.
 Ford made a motion to throw to third hesitated and then threw. Eldridge said 1t was a balk and sent Mum" across the plate with the first score of tho day. Then Bill uncorked demonstration and 1t looked to the casual spectator as though he was going to thump his umps. But Tommy Fisher interposed his huge bulk between the would-be belligerents and ef- fectually ended the warfare.-Atanta Georgian

 Notwithstanding several bits of un- pleasantly, the Memphii came out alive and whole, and without corns chopped off or broken life or limb. Hardy, who boast ed through the columns of a local paper several weeks ago that he intended to "get even" with Babb. simply lost his temper Had an umpire been possessed of backbone, he might have disqualified Rowdy Jack when he swung on Babb's smiling region4-Memphis Commercial Ap- peal.
 Did Hardy intentionally spike Babb? The thug element showed a hand after , the game by rocking the Memphii bus en l route to the hotel. Prior to this the small boys had their fun by pelting the players with cushions as they were slipping off baseball shoes for their spikeless slippers. Memphis Commercial Appeal.
 Those mix-ups between players in last Thursdays game looked peculiarly nasty.
 It will be remembered that Babb was the man who put Hardy out of business for nearly month recently by colllding with him. And it Is said by Nashville players that Babb made the threat that he was going to do 1t before he pulled the event off.
 The next time the two men play against each other, Hardy and Babb meet again in a frightful bump. May have been an accident, but it looks decidedly like pre- meditation on the part of somebody.
 And such tactics are not encouraged in the Southern League.-Atlanta Georgian.
 Sporting Chat" will not attempt to point out all the players in the Southern league who are really owned by big league teams, but are supposed to be the property of Southern clubs. Doubtless there are a good many.
 Atlanta alone has three. Castleton, Dyer and Becker have never belonged to Att lanta. Castleton Is the property of Clark Griffith in New York and Dyer and Beck CT belong to Cincinnati.
 The recent deal whereby Paskert. At- lantas star outfelder, goes to the big leagues, is clearly seen through. When Paskert leaves Atlanta the Atlanta man agement will get a small sum in cash and the exclusive ownership of both Dyer and Becker.-New Orleans Item.

 It certainly pays to be a winner, and this fact was demonstrated very strong ly Thursday. For the first three days of the week the ball park was crowded in every section with fans who came to see the Memphis games. Thursday, Shreveport came, and what a difference. Instead of a mass of humanity all over the place there was a decided lack of it. There were more people in one end of the grandstand at any one of the three games with Mem phis than there were in the entire struc- ture Thursday So 1t pays to be a win ner-Atlanta Journal.
 Beyond question, Birmingham has the worst lot of knockers of any town In the league Some of the fans were actually cheering for Little Rock until the balloon went up in the seventh, when the Bayons were given a hand.-ArSansas Gazette.
