THE DOPE SHEET

Everybody pull today.
 It was bound to come
 The Barons were shut-out! Hurrah for the little fellows. No kick against umpires yet.
 The Barons got the more hits at any rate.
 And Lew Walters made an error. So did Alcock.
 There was no knocking yesterday when the result was known.
 Erratic changes in the standing every day may be expected.
 Matthews did not star in the first game. Stratton did the catching.
 The day was cold in Nashville, Bir- mingham getting all the frost
 Pick New Orleans, Birmingham, Mem- phis and Atlanta to win this afternoon.
 In pinches, Duggan stood his ground, and there was nothing doing for the Ba- rons.
 Manager Babb is playing short this sea- son, and yesterday was his day for errors. He made three.
 Birmingham is still in the first division and hasn't been in the second division this season, either
 Fisher handed bunch to the Pelicans yesterday. The manager got three hits himself, and pitched like a Trojan. Three matinees were going yesterday All were well attended This goes 10 show how Birmingham is interested in the game.
 It looks as if the race will be a bitter and close one this season. Birmingham would prefer to win the pennant after a hard fight.
 Vaughn telegraphs that he will work Ragan this afternoon. It is Turner's s time, however, and if the lad is well, he should have his trial.
 Three more games in Nashville If Tur- ner gets away with his. the Barons will get the series yet. Ragan and Wilhelm are being backed to win.
 Oyler and Lister heard the game in detail. Both are improving and will be ready to figure next week. when the At lanta Boosters return to the slag.
 Elsey gets start every season, but seldom holds out for more than a month He is now playing first for Montgomery, and as always is fielding excelently.
 
 A telegram last night from Little Rock announced that that club had increased it's capitalization from S100OO to $20, 0O0 Things are booming in Little Rock all right enough. by Clark scores. One of the runs made by Nashville yesterday came after pass and another was started when Clark hit Dobbs with the ball.
 Little Rock is the mystery. The Travel CTS played all around the Memphii yester- day. It seems strange that they are lead ing the league this morning, when some months ago, they were on the very bot tom.
 Molesworth says that Chistall of New Orleans is an excellent pitcher The Ba- ron captain fears, however, that the old list of twirlers. Breitenstein, Guese, Watt and others. will receive their bumps in punches this season.
 Montgomery and Atlanta played an ex- cellent game. Walker it seems, will make good in rush, and it very probable that he would have won from any other pitcher in Atlanta except Zeller. Mont gomery looks better.
 Smith tried to win the game yester- day, but the ball that he drove to the dump fell into the arms of Wiseman. It is remembered that Smith batted a home run in Nashville last season. and yester- day it is said that there was a shiver when he approached the stick.
 Memphis wired Nashville yesterday of ferng the use of first baseman. No name was mentioned and Manager Dobbs wired back for further information Can it be Scoops Carey that Charlie Babb is trying to unload on the locals?-Nash- vile American.
