expect Atlanta to go backward.- Atlanta Journal.
 No, people here have no such ideas. h. dustrous correspondents sometimes send to outside papers what they do not care to use in Birminham. And then the game Thursday should quiet such gossip. The Atlanta club will leave Brming- ham Friday morning, and Nashville will take it's place in the Barons ball lot. Then Vaughn will havt to face another
 club that is pretty good at beating the
 enemy.
 It looks as though the Champs are hay ing a little trouble just now, but they
 are expected to pull themselves together
 pretty soon and get busy. There are too many good ball players , with Birmingham for 1t to remain long
 at the bottom of the hill.-Atlanta Jour nal
 It is thus seen that there are few oth- CT wise men about the circuit, too. Pfenninger continues to do good work
 as umpire. but in the eleventh it looked
 as if Gilbert beat Carr's throw to first However, Pfenninger called him out, and the run which would have won the game
 could not be counted.-Arkansas Gazette Which, one might opine, was very hard
 luck.
 "The Age Herald says Montgomery is risen.'' Yep-Kind sir, looks that way.

 Umpire Rim was watching the runner from third and though Sorrell threw Ratchford out at first he claimed he did
 not see 1t. and was not going to call q
 play he had not seen. The entire Nash vile bunch swarmed around the plucky
 umpire, but he refused to change his de-
 oison in calling Ratchford safe. Finally Dobb's language and attitude became so
 picturesque that Rinn put him out of the
 game.-Montgomery Advertiser. It is said that little Johnny has an ugly disposition sometimes.

 Manager Law behaved ugly in Meridian yesterday and was benched. Jack. it seems, is not too old to grow naughty occasionally.
 :. is reported from whispers heard in Cleveland that unless Napoleon Lajoie lands the rag of the American league this year he will be stripped Of the managerial toga.
 When Lister needed something to tar down first bag after runner had dis located it, Umpire Rudderham suggested that some one get one of the big hammers that was doing overtime in the grand stand.
 After Dobbs dropped Alcock's fly. mak- ing an error which eventually caused the Umpire Rudderham, and was aided by his captain, ''Whitey" Morse. The row was absurd, of course, and amounted to nothing.
 Frank Delehanty is studying medicine at Baldwin university. near Cleveland. and has obtained permission from Clark Griffith to play semi professional baseball while taking the course. The old Baron. oae of the best players ever graduated in Birmingham, has retired for good, it would appear.

WHAT OTHERS SAY.

 dull season.
 In his efforts to cleanse the league, President Kayanaugh has overstepped all bounds. He has deprived the baseball scribes of the real joy of lambasting his neghbors, which, with southern scrbes, is the real joy of living in the good old summer time.
 Its too bad that the "jeedge" couldn't have left us the rubber balls if nothing else.-New Orleans Item.
 Scandals do keep the world moving.
 Breitenstein is the fox of the league and wonder. But he is old and natural ly on the down slant. The same is true of Phillips-only more so.
 "Whitey' Guese is another veteran and q wonder in his way. He has every known (and some unknown curves, but with them all he combines a faint heart. As long as the sailing Is smooth ''Whitey" can fan them all, but when things get squally Guese Is so busy look ing for good place to land that he just chunks the ball over and anybody can find him.
 Moxie Manuel is the only "comer' on the Pelican staff and he has a long ways to come before he will be a really first class twirler.
 Don't put the Pelicans down as any thing really easy. They are far from that, for Frank has a brilliant 0hough erratc) infield and an unusually good outfield.
 If his team can hit it will go pretty well to the front; but a pennant winner?- well, no, not without lot of luck-At- lanta Georgian.
 This sizing up" of the Pelicans is not too bad.
 The rivalry between Birmingham and -rt.1 thAp hitting no game, there was talking match in Birmingham the other day be- tween Sid Smith, the Cracker third base man; Billy Smith, the mogul, and Carlos Smith, the Baron home-run hitter. Sid alleged that a man could go further in an elevator in Atlanta than in street car in Birmingham. Carlos refuted this with the statement that 1t was a chest nut. Whereat Billy Smith got it into his managerial brain that somebody had said something of some kind about him. A lively mix-up was imminent, but the trouble was dispelled by a mutual agree ment in which all three Smiths entered that they were of no relation to each other whatever.-Nashville Banner.
 Jupiter Pluvius, however, interferrcd. and what the result of the game would have been remains as much a puzzle as the baseball How old is Ann?" puzzle.
 This puzzle, which is receiving much space is. If one fan bets another fan that his team will double the score and the result is 1 to o in favor of the first fans team, who wins? One is infinitely many times nothing, but is it twice as much?
 Whatever may be the answer to this conundrum, Nashville fandom expects a victory today-Nashvllle Banner.
 He didn't solve the puzzle, and he didn't get the victory, either
 Some of the folks in Birmingham think there may be another cause, and that Dad is mending some fences while getting this lay-off. If that is true, it may be wise and it may not. Atlanta does not eN- pect to be any weaker later on but in- stead is going to try and get better every day. Birmingham may advance in point of strength, but there is no reason to

There is always little sadness when player, whose face has grown familiar 10 every fan, turns his toes to the daisies and cashes in his checks. Montgomery has asked for waivers on Busch.
 There are few better fielders than 'kid' Busch. but. like others. he cannot hit the ball. He Is nice fellow. personally. and there are many who regret his passing.

II. W. Laird, The Age-Herald's cor respondent in Montgomery, sends story to the effect that President Chambers is very angry because an Atlanta sporting writer sent to his paper under Birming- ham date line an item to the effect that rumor had it that the Montgomery fran chise would be transferred to Chatta- nooga.
 Chambers issues a philippic, in which he takes the Atlanta correspondent and all Birmingham scribes severely to task. The roast is passed, but the following statements contained in the story credit ed to Chambers are interesting: Mont
