HARDY AND YERKES
 COME TO BLOW

There was a lively interpolation in the programme at the Athletic park yester- day afternoon that gave tho fans mo- ment of excitement and relief from the bum exhibition that the local baseball team had been putting up. It came at the close of the fifth inning and was a f'stic encounter between two members of the home club. The participants were Jack Hardy and Stanley Yerkes. The mill had proceeded only one round when the law and order element of the team interfered and brought 1t to peremptory close. Yerkes emerged from the en- counter with a cut lip, but there was no other evidence of damage to either bellig- erent
 When Memphis was at the bat Hurlourt drove a hot grounder to first, which Lis ter fumbled, but recovered and threw wild to Sorrell In an attempt to catch Hurlburt Hardy made dash for the ball. but slipped and fell on his hands III a muddy place. He wiped his hands on YerlSes clean shirt. Yerkes threw a bat at him, and this ended the incident for the time but when Nashville came in home from the field an argument took place and Hardy struck Yerkes. Several lIcks passed before they could be separat- ed by the other players.
 After the game both Hardy and Yerk es were arrested and taken to the police sta- tion on the charge of disorderly conduct. Both gave bond for their appearance Tn the city court this morning. Judge Baker dismissed the case against them.-Nash- vile Banner.

 Sleeping With WdddeH

"Tacks' I4atimer, the catcher, who was here with Birmingham last week, was on the Louisville team in the National league when the club roster embraced baseball s most famous celebrity, Rube Waddell.
 Waddell and Latimer enjoyed a national l reputation as the Packs Battery" and roomed together while the team was on the road. Just before the last game be- tween the Colts and the Barons. Packs V wandered over to the Little Rock bench and was soon inveighed into relating some "reminiscences of his famous room mate.
 "Rube used to think some one was go- ing to do him up" said ''Tacks,' 'and so he carried around a shotgun with him all the time. One day I was standing in front of the mirror, combing my hair, when in the glass I saw Rube coming into the room carrying his shotgun He stopped and leveled the gun at me and took aim.
 Don't shoot. Rube.' I shouted.
 "'I aint going to shoot he said, I'm just taking aim. '
 Then" continued Hacks" q went and got long knife and that bluffed Rube' out
 The troubles of a manager who had this pair on the same team may easily be imagined. and it is said that Fred Clerk aged rapidly during that one season.
 While l was rooming with Rube,' said Tracks, 'he got mania for buying clothes. He bought new suit every pay day, until he had four trunks full. One day l was going by a secondhand store when I saw a vest that was red as blood. So l went i'll and bought it for sl 25. That evening, after the game,

ATHLETICS CHOSEN
 TO WIN TENANT

Acting Manager Bob Ganley of Wash ington and Jim Mcclure, the leader of the Boston Pilgrims, are of the opinion that the Athletics will win the pennant in consequence of the long stretch of games that Connie Mack's team will play at home.
 Mcclure thinks that it would be to the American leagues interests to have the Athletics win, for he believes that they can surely defeat the Cubs.
 ''I rather doubt if the White Sox could repeat their trick of a year ago." sald McGuire. "If Waddell and Plank are in shape, though, they will have a cinch against the Cubs. If Flaherty and Iie- field, of the National league. can down the Cubs. I think Plank and Waddell two of the best southpaws in the country will make monkeys of the National league champions. Then there is Bender, who is pitching about the best ball of any one in the country just now. Then Dygert IS not to be forgotten. He can pitch some fine ball, too. although he is hardly the star that either one of the other three is, '-EX.

THREE VALUABLE
 TEAM SECRETARIES

This is the fifth season that Harry Err lich has been secretary of the Shreveport club, and he has shown himself to be val uable In more ways than one His uni form courtesy and accommodating cheer ful disposition, has made him universally popular in the Southern league
 He forms one of the trio of indispensi- ble financial seeretaries-Tom Mccullough of Memphis Harry Erlich of Shreveport and Bill Stickney of this city
 All three of them have been with their clubs since tho formation of the pres ent Southern circuit in 1908. and 1t would look queer to see the Montgomery, Mem phis and Shreveport teams without their present secretaries
 Erlich has many friends in Montgomery where he is very popular, and he always gets the glad hand when he hits this town. He says he thinks, with some changes. Shreveport will be the same in 1908 that it is now. and that Tom Fisher will manage the team again.-Montgon- cry Advertiser.

 How much did you pay for that said he.
 Five bones, told him.
 "Ill give you six for it. he said
 50 I sold it to him. and he wore it two days and got tired of it and gave it back to me
 Fred Clark used to have an awful time keeping track of Rube. He would dis appear for days and no one knew where he was. One day when Rube had been gone for three days, Fred told me to hunt him up and said that I needn't report at the park until found him.
 "Pawnee Bill Wild West show was in town, so I headed for there. and sure enough, there was Rube currying off the horses. He said they had promised him that he could be an Indian if he stuck with the show.
 ''I got him to go back to the park, and he stayed with the team for about week and then he disappeared again. and they sent me out second time to hunt him up I went all over town until l finally happened to go into dime museum and there, up on the platform, was Rube lie was acting as assistant to the strong man, who was breaking iron bars over Rubes chest.
 "Another time Clark noticed that Ruhe disappeared every night right after the game, and didn't show up again until the next afternoon. So he hired detective to follow Rube. and find out what he was doin. In a little while the detective came back and reported that Rube went out to some German beer garden, put on a white walters apron and was singing beer.
 "Yes' said "Tacks' rehectiVelY, as he arose to go to his own bench, Ruoo was sure a great card "-Arkansas Ga- Zette.

WHAT OTHERS SAY.

There has been more or less dscord
 in the ranks of the Barons all season,
 but that should not keep them from
 playing ball with the Memphis club the
 best they know how. While in Atlanta
 the Birmingham men have played jam
 up games every time and have done
 some good team work on other occa-
 sions.- Frankly their work has not been
 at all times the best they could do, but
 here's hoping that for the next four
 days 1t will be the best they are capa =
 ble of and that 1t will be better than
 that done by any other club in the league today. Not because Memphis is loved any less. but because Atlanta is loved all the more.-Atlanta Journal.
