 yesterday morning that the price of ad- mission to yesterdays double-header would be doubled, tho local management not only lost the extra money by the failure of the Little Rock team to reach Montgomery in time for double header, but barely escaped a shut out in the second game, the Travellers winning easily.
 When the people reached the grounds in time for the first game of the double header they were confronted with the fact that not only had the price of ad- mission been doubled, but that every hold CT of an annual pass would have to dig down in his jeans and come up with 50 cents before there would be an open se- same at the gates.-Montgomery Adver- tiser.

 f1aa nesday is no sign they're going to be beaten today. Frank will doubtless send Bill Phillips to the slab and this should be one of Bills good days. Teller may pitch for Atlanta and as sure as he does there will be some fireworks The locals are still playing 900 the road, and that's a mighty good road average How ever, the fans are expecting more than that from them since they made such a great showing on the last home stand. New Orleans Item.
 They've dropped three "straights."
 Babb will not experiment with Pitchers Schwenck and Savidge, his South Atlantic purchases, unless accident should cripple his slab corps. The three S's-Suggs. Stockdale and Sheds-with Bills. will be depended on to fight for the lead to the death. By the way. with the addition of Savidge and Schwenck the 1908 slab out fit will be all Ss, as Bills goes to Phila- elphia.-Memphis Commercial-Appeal.
 When Cross stole in the first inning. sabrie clearly and deliberately interfered with Sweeney in his throw to second.
 Sweeney tried to get Rudderham to call Cross out because of the interference, but Buddy couldn't see 1t.
 Then Sweeney turned to Sabrie and with all due deliberation remarked: "You do that again and I'll jump all over you" and he certainly looked as though he meant it-Atlanta Journal.
 The bad thing!
 The ninth inning was enough to give a real fan heart disease. Just when 1t looked as though there was no chance for New Orleans to win Gatns was called safe at first and things took on a very doubtful hue The double of Stratton fol- lowed and Gatns was on third before half of the spectators realized that the game was in danger. Harry Matthews went in to bat for Fritz and fouled out to Fox As the first two men up had already been disposed of this retired the side and saved the day. It was a close call however.-Ex.
 The idea of Matthews batting for any onel
 It is up to Birmingham to take a game or two The Baron players claim to be pulling for Atlanta; and, if they are, thev- cannot show their sympathy in way that would be more appreciated than by hammerng Memphis down aways. somebody has got to do it, and we can more safely count on Birmingham than Montgomery.- Georgian.
 Come on, We've done 1t twice.
 Lave Cross took long chance in the third when he let a ball that Paskert hit down the line roll on its cheerful way. It was inside about a foot when 1t began. but Lave ccaxed 1t to put on a little reverse English and get nearer as it went on. Paskert reached first and the spectators and players thought he was safe when Cross reached down and picked up the ball Foul" said the umps, and then there were shouts and groans.-At- lanta Journal.
 Often that little stunt occurs here.
 Manning made an excellent one-hand catch in the fifth and took away a hit from Spade. The ball was nearly to the ground when Manning got one hand on 1t and made it stick. He got a loud round of applause for this both at the time anL when he returned to the bench.
