Is rowdyism among baseball players on the increase?
 l It would appear so.
 In every league unruly players are re- ceiving the attention of the powers that be. The Southern is no exception. This season. in Dixie, there have been several outrageous outbreaks on the part of the thugs of the game The worst of all however, occurred In New Orleans recently, when Captain Frank Gatins struck Umpire Flynn in the face with his fist and Silver Bill Phillips threw a bat at Pitcher Suggs of Memphis because while at the stick he was pinked with the ball.
 It Is said that Gatns, after shaking Flynn considerably, struck him in the face. and was retired amid the hisses of the fans. When the fans of New Or leans, used as they are to rowdylsm in every form. hiss one of the Pelcans the act must have been seandaous in the extreme. But Bill Phillips, if anything, has a more serious offense to face than Gatlns, If such is possible. Without provo catlon-because Suggs truck him accident ly of course-he threw bat at the pitcher during the progress of a game, before hundreds of fans, men, women and children. Phillips has been playing ball too long to be guilty of such gross misconduct It is remembered that on the first trip of the New Orleans team to Birmingham this season Phillips coward ly attempted to tread Umpire Pfenninger' s foot to threads with his steel spikes. Now, the president of the league should

Uniontown, August 9.-(Special )-Before q one of the largest crowds ever assembled here to witness a ball game the locals succeeded Tn taking the series from .he Demopolis stars by breaking even with them in a doubie-header.

After this he stcadied down and Demopolis was only able to score once more during the game.
 The features of the second game was the pitching of both McGehee and David, but the latter was accorded better sup port

IN DEFENSE OF
 PITCHER TURNER

To the Sporting Editor:
 I have noticed different comments in all the papers concerning Pitcher Turner. All of them seem to have tendency to Knock" him. with The Age-Herald eX- cepted. You have taken his part in all matters concerning him. Now, the truth of the business is that there Is not better pitcher in the league When he started the season with Birmingham he showed fine form and pitched well, but as the season wore on, of course was hit In some of his games pretty hard, which no mortal pitcher can prevent. I saw a game pitched by him in New Orleans. and there was, never a prettier game pitched by a pitci er in the Southern league. The way I size 1t up is that other teams have been getting pitchers right along all sea- son and Birmingham decided 1t wanted one Turner was the youngest member of the team and could be released easier than any other Of course, when this came about he naturally got "shaky." If he was released 1t wouldn't be five min utes before he was gobbled up by some other club of the league. Yours respect fully. A FAN.
 The Age-Herald has criticised Turner. too. The above letter Is printed because 1t contains a deal of truth It is believed that Turner is now taking care of him self.

Quite a few ladies try their skill daily at the game, and Mrs Sam Phillips of Memphis, who was here during June and July, made fine rec ord. Almost all of the southern golf clubs have been represented during the season, and number of tournaments have been played for silver cups offered by the Tate Spring Golf club.

The umpire, it seems had given close de- cision in favor of Topeka, when Goes made some very indecent remarks con corning the official Guthrie, it seems. ordered him from the park. The player thereupon walked into the diamond and deliberately struck the defenseless um- pire with his fist, and repeated the blow three times.
 1 have not heard just what punishment was meted out to the thug, but trust that he got his dues.
 The criminal law once this season. has taken charge of diamond rowdies. This was in Gulfport. Miss. when Bernie Me Rays Mobile Sea Gulls were playing there. 1t seems that Pitcher Ray and Centerfeder Thornton made an attack on Umpire Mackey. In the general scrap that followed it seems that the umpire struck back Warrants were sworn out for the three and after trial each was convicted and sentenced to the turpentine farm, where they served time for the offenses
 It seems that the law should take charge of more cases. Arrangements and diree- tors are slow to act, in the majority of cases awaiting the preferment of official and formal charges. It often happens that timid umpires, ,hose with no back bone whatever are persuaded not to make a report to the president. Then what?
 Referring again to the recent scandal in Dixie, who would say that President kavanaugh should not take action, in spite of the fact lAat press dispatches are to the effect that Umpire Flynn will make no report concerning the indgnities heaped upon him, and al the same time upon the fans who saw the game in New Orleans.
 Down with the thugs, is a good motto and should be adopted. and followed, too by every league in the country.

Montgomery, August s.-(Special.)- Montgomery defeated Birmingham this afternoon by a score of to 1. Both teams gave a fine exhibition of ball play ing. and at first it seemed that the game would go to either side.
 Wilhelm was in the box for the visit ors, and pitched q good. steady game. The home team worked Maxwell, who al- lowed only seven hits.
 The run-getting was started in the fourth inning, when each side scored Birmingham, the first side up In the fourth. sent Smith to the bat, who bunt ed to third and reached first. Gardner sac rifced and Smith went to second. Meek then sent two-bagger into left and Smith scored. The next two men up, Walters and Alcock, struck out
 This was the only run the visitors made, though they had men on bases often during the rest of the game, they were unable to send another across the home plate.
 In the same inning the legislators made two runs, though the chances are that the locals would not have scored during ptEii mont's wild throw to first.
 IL was this way Baxter, the first up, hit to short and reached first. Ball flied out to Wilhelm, and Henlne hit to short reaching first and advancing Baxter to second. Perry then hit n grounder to Wilhelm, which bounced into the terri tory of Demont. Demont secured the ball and threw wild to Meek. Both Baxter and Henline scored.
 Montgomery also scored in the fifth in- ming, when Houtz scored on Balls single to right field The last run was scored by the local team in the sixth inning. Ferry, the first up. hit to second and reached hrst. Nye sacrificed, advancing Ferry to second. Hausen grounded to second and went out. Seabaush then grounded to Walters and Perry scored.

The winning run was made In the eighth on Roth's puass, Andrews sacrifice, an lnfeld out and Taaffee's hit through the pitchers box which was too hot for Bryant to han ale.
