, to Pfenninger?. No. What did he do with the ball? Threw it over the grand stand What did Pfenninger do? Noth- ing. Was this all? No. Pitcher Breiten- stein next got hold of ball which was not to his liking and he exercised his left wing. The sphere in question was thrown from the park, over the grand stand, from where 1t was never returned. What did Pfenninger do in this instance Nothing. What should he have done ? Put Ragan and Bretenstein out of the game, fined them both, and made full report to President Kavanaugh.
 Again. At one time when Garvin was incensed because Pfenninger called ball when the catcher thought it a strike, he threw the sphere on the ground, and 1t bounded to shortstop. Garvn should have been benched for disrespect to an umpire, | although it Is probable that the catcher, 1 In his contention, was correct 1t is | thought that Ragan struck one man out before he made a safe hit, and famed another before he received four bad balls. But even if an umpire is rotten, he should retain his self-respect.
 Immediately after Ragan and Breiten- stein had thrown the balls over the grand stand, there occurred another incident that appeared childish and ridiculous. Farley. who is in the employ of the local clup' cndiBeu iellcStl otidtlon Wlth nav ing taken a ball that belonged to Bir- mngham. Farley got policeman to ac- company him to where Stratton was sit ting. and, demanded the ball. He didn't get it.
 While the argument was In progress play was stopped. The fans everywhere stood upon their feet. Another police man, while strong men were quarreling, bused himself with putting small boys out of tho park, which caused observers to smile broadly.
 Farley did not give up his quest. how ever. Failing with his policeman, he sought the aid of constable. MT. Con- stable walked across the field, showed his badge of office, demanded the ball, and got 1t. Stratton contended that the ball was his own, and Farley contended that the Pelican catcher was endeavoring to swpe it.

 Echoes From Yesterday Word Waz

| In the meantime, the two umpires did nothing, said nothing. Right here, it must be borne in mind that an umpire, dur ing a game, has absolute control his au- thority outranking that of the policemen the deputy sheriffs and the constables The officers of the law are on the field to do the bidding of the umpire
 Hackett, too, came in for his share of abuse. He made several decisions which enraged the players, and many of them said things very uncomplimentary Man ager Vaughn informed Captain Moles- worth to brook no longer such rulings and if necessary to kick the umpire from the field. Hackett, hearing, turned his face to where the manager sat, smiled sadly, shrugged his shoulders? What did he say? That's all.
 During the game, much was said which should have been left unsaid. When Gardner was hit with the ball, and Pfen- ninger called him back to the bat, Wal ters, Matthews, Molesworth and others held a regular quarrel-fest about the home plate. Molesworth alone of all that number had business with the umpire at that time, he being captain of the pro testing team. Walters gesticuated grew somely with his bat. and said much. Pfen- nlnger did absolutely nothing, Ragan quarreled, too, during the afternoon, be- cause it was evidently that Pfenninger was sadly "off.~
 The players are cautioned against swearing too loudly while on their benches. There are ladies seated just above both seats reserved for the play CTS. One of the Barons was especially boisterous in his rude remarks yesterday.
 It is realized that to say simply "the umpire was rotten and incompetent" has little weight.
 For that reason proof was cited above, proof that Is indisputable. Pfenninger and Hackett exercised no more authority yes terday afternoon than did the smallest fan in the bleachers. Should they have exercised authority that is in them vested? Wade through the paragraphs again. The field was turned into battle- ground of words in which was no peace, nor nothing good

New Method of HandIinq Cotton,

New Orleans, June IA movement to seventey-fve instead of fifty bale lots has been inaugurated here by the Rock Is- land railroad. T. F. Steele, general freight agent of the New Orleans and North eastern railroad, announced today that he had received a request from the Rock Island to take this proposition up with the local cotton factors. It is declared the railroads can now load seventy-five bales of cotton to the car and that seventy-five should be made the unit for the sake of economy in handling.

The above is mentioned because it's mere publication will bring to mind the fact that nothing of similar nature is ever seen or heard in Dixie Would that there was a single umpire in the Southern league who enforced the rules to the let ter
 It is seldom that an umpire is criticised in Birmingham Fans in the Magic City seem to realize that a man Is merely mortal, and that mistakes are his herlt- age But that which causes disgust is for an umpire to "even up," by which Is meant batting this team on the back now, when a slat is needed, and skipping later when the other team thinks par tiality is being shown. Furthermore, an umpire with no nerve disgusts. Further more an umpire wholly incompetent dis gusts Furthermore an umpore with no backbone, allowing the players to umpire, disgusts.
 Yesterday afternoon the fans were dis gusted at West End. Pfenninger and Hackett were in charge, and in addition to the fact that both teams found fault with them, they allowed the players to say and do whatever they pleased. Meek hit the nail on the head and said exactly what the fans were thinking when he in sisted that Pfenninger do his own work and not allow Matthews to officiate for him.
 At one time during the game. Umpire Pfenninger was shown up unmistakably. He demanded that a ball be shown him. The sphere in question was thrown from the Birmingham bench to Pitcher Ragan. Did Pitcher Ragan hand over the ball

WHAT OTHERS SAY.

Unless Graffius, Rapp, Owens or Kunkel can show the goods, Stratton Is the only backstop in the west that has look in with the catchers now working with the four eastern Montgomery State.
 Eddie Hurlburt is pretty fair. You do not mention Matthews?
 It Is not probable that Vaughn has picked up such brilliant find in Demon treville The former star is said to have gone back in the past two seasons and ai- though he may be better than was Oyler, he is not expected to cause any sensation in the circuit. Arkansas Gazette.
 Well, just wait until you hear what Demont is doing.
 Robert Baugh. president of the Birming- ham Baseball association, is in Atlanta for the golf tournament and he states alat the attack by Beecher and Phil lips of the New Orleans team on Umpire Pfenninger in Birmingham Saturday was one of the most disgraceful that he has ever seen since he has been connected with baseball.
 Mir Baugh states that, after the Bir- mingham players had appeared to go to the bad in the second inning, they ral- lied and in the eighth tied the score. Phillips hit Demont with a pitched pal, snd Pfenninger sent him to first That forced a runner home. This decision was protested against by Phillips and Beecher and the former lighted on Vinegar with his spikes while the latter jostled him in the ribs.
 The pair had to be hauled off the grounds by the police and from that time forward the Pelicans delayed the game until 1t had to be called at the end 0 the ninth on account of rain.-Atlanta Georgian
 It was disSraceful. It appeared especi- ally disgraceful, because rowdyism is never seen here until the Pelicans come.
