HOW THINGS ARE
 IN COTTON STATES

Columbus Miss, July 22.-(Special.)- 1.-The prophecy of four weeks ago that Roy Montgomerys bunch from Jackson would be right up near the top of the percentage column in the Cotton States before long has come to pass even earlier than the most sangulne friends of the Lawmakers expected Four weeks ago they began their winnings and have won every game, excepting five, since. Montgomery has been in charge seven weeks. Just before he took charge the club was tied with Columbus for the tail end honors and had a percentage of .370. They now are sec ond in the race and stand less than 60 points behind Mobile. Mobiles standing
 Is $50, while Jackson ranks .575. Gulf port, the surprising team in the Cotton States, the team that at first threatened to become the whole thing, has been grad ually weakening every day. They are considerably weakened by the absence of Reilly, the best shortstop in the league, who Is g sprained-ankle sufferer. Holland, their center-fielder, has been brought In to play the position. but he does not com- pare with Reilly At the first of the sea son 1t looked like 1t would be "All Gulf port's but the bunch Is not near what was considered. Meridian seems to be playing in a trail of hard luck and has been dropping for several days She has fallen to .5O0. All their games have been close, but while the other teams have been adding strength, Sample has seem ingly been satisfied with his crowd and was surprised to find the other teams so hard to down. Sample has recently let Stewart and Marshall go. Both these players are now with Columbus. Colum- bus has sold catcher Andreds to Meridian. Vicksburg seems able to only break about even with odds trlfe against her and Blackburn Is not considered as having team that will fight anyone for first or second place The Vicksburg crowd may be able to squeeze and make 1t little in- teresting for Meridian for third place hon ors at the end of the season, but 1t Is not thought they will do any other harm.
 As for the Columbus team, 1t Is almost too sad a story to even try and describe. Manager Kunkle is the third manager the association has had this year and does not win as many games as his predecessor, Joe Wright. Out of last weeks six games the team lost them all. In fact they have won only ten out of the last forty games played. Their percentage Is 22S; almost record for low water mark of any profess sional team that ever entered legitimate baseball. They have another record that any professional team might well be ashamed of. That is that during the sea son they have had as members of the team over fifty players who have been signed and over forty of these have prov ed to be gold bricks"
 It would not be surprising if by tomor- row the Columbus Discoyerers had new manager The only redeeming feature in connection with the local team is that the attendance holds up splendidly and even If the team has suffered such terri fic losses of late, the rooters still go to the park and support the team well enough to make it a paying investment for the holders of the franchise.

Ing and excellent fielding yesterday, he hit the ball that made the game easy.
 Atlanta and Memphis are battling for the crown. The first brush was decisive victory for Atlanta.
 The east was "all to the good yester- day. Atlanta trimmed Memphis. ShreVe- port was easy for Birmingham. Nashville triumphed over New Orleans. Montgo1h- cry scored the only defeat, Little Rock wining hands down.
 New York was passed yesterday by Pittsburg. Johnny McGraw is paying 50 much attention to race horses that the Giants are no more feared than Brooklyn. Indeed, the Superbas are playing better article of ball than are the Giants.
 The Chicago Cubs find New York easy at home and abroad.
 We will either eat those hats, or miss the meal by narrow margin.
 All of which reminds that many man makes both ends meet with safety pin although Bird" in Birmingham, as was proved last week. is worth no more than one in New Orleans.

Gardner TWinkled.

Becker was just too sweet. He relieved Graham in the fifth During that period the Barons batted all round, Demont dp- preaching the pan twice. Here is what happened: Three safe swats, one being for two bags two bases on balls, a batsman hit by pitched ball, q passed ball. two infield errors, a sacrifice hit, a stolen base. four scores.
 After this inning, the score being to ,, the Barons were on Easy street." Wil- helm, however, grew more effective. and the Pirates could not score again.
 The farce was terminated in a most far clcal manner Gardner struck out, but CatcherMassin let the third strike fly 70 the grandstand. "Rube' 'thereupon stole second. and eventually scored, Walters and Alcack hitting safely in succession.
 Gardners offensive work was the feat ure of the game. At the stick five times he hit quartette Of bingles, and scored three runs. He got on first every time he tried.

The Pirates threatened to become dan gerous in the first round. "Goat" Carlin, the fancy gum-chewer from Texas, h!t safe as all Texas leaguers do-just out of reach. Warrender went out from third to first, advancing the runner to second. Daley famed, but Patterson, another newcomer, who has supplanted Clarke at first, rappel safely to center.

POINT FOR DEFENSE.
Case of the Lynchers Is Nearly Ready
 for the Jury.

Charlotte, N. C., July 22.-The de- fense in the case of Zeke Lewis, who is charged with lynching John V. Johnson at Wadesboro last summer, scored a signal point today in the in troduction of evidence pointing to the fact that Battle Lewis, brother of the defendant, and not Zeke, was the ring leader of the mob that lynched John- son. Battle Lewis is one of the three alleged lynchers who fled the state after the grand jury returned indict- ments.
 The state concluded it's testimony before the noon recess today and the defense immediately began the intro- duction of testimony. Practically the same witnesses that testified in the Jones case were put on by the state and no new evidence was developed on either side beyond the alibi for the defendant, Lewis. Nearly all of the witnesses for the defense admitted either relationship to some of the men under indictment or of having contributed to the defense fund.
