COTTON STATES LEAGUE.

Columbus. Miss May 29-(Special )-The fires of dissatisfaction lighted yesterday by the rotten and unjust decisions of Umpire Dawkns, were rekindled today and burst into a flame. It was so warm that immediately at the close or this afternoons contest a policeman and dep uty sheriff deemed 1t wise to take charge of Mr Dawkins for his own protection and he rode to his hotel under their care The first inning passed without incident. The trouble began in the seeond' when Murch of Gulfport knocked a grounder, which was well handled by Wright, The captain and first baseman of the locals then ran and touched first base while Murch running down the line was fully three feet OF more from the initial bag. Mir Dawkins called tie runner safe. AL most without exception the spectators were upon their feet with loud howls. Several from the bleachers seemed ready to surge upon the field, but were pre- vented from crossing the fence. Manager Wright enthused and supported With the cheers of his home people. protested vigorously and continued his war or words and effort to show the umpire his error until he was ordered out of the game. At this juncture many people left the grounds in disgust, The game was continued and MT. Dawkns gave the  visitors every decision possible to shift to their side. After awhile it became highly amusing and the judgment that May got on balls and strikes was of the rankest order. His pitching was better than the score indicates. There was no such thing as the locals even scoring, much less winning. The people here now are thoroughly convinced that the re- ported hard treatment the "Discoverers' have been having is not exaggerated at all. If 1t is that bad at home It must have been worse on the circuit. It is very peculiar and not at all reasonable why the locals should suffer as they do simply because they are the youngest members of the league. A vigorous pro test will go to President Compton

DOPE SHEET.

Two games this afternoon.
 Ragan made them bend all over the plate.
 There was never a finer game played anywhere.
 The inheld is stronger than ever before this season.
 Cleveland were it not. that the sox had obtained such a lead. would be pennant probability in the American.
 New York landed easily yesterday, and as Chicago had an off days. tied the Cubs for first place in the National.
 The Chicago White Sox scored six runs yesterday on two hits. and St. Louis on five hits could not make more than five runs.
 Fucker accomplished the rather difficult feat of winning for Brooklyn yesterday. Nap, as is remembered, is an old Atlanta player
 As a result of the games played yester- day Little Rock and Nashville stepped over the heads of the Pecans of New Orleans.
 Augusta and Charleston. under the gui- dance of Sparks and Raymond, fought out a nine inning tie yesterday. The hits were about even.
 Little Rock. piloted by William Hart, had easy pickings in Montgomery. Walker having been batted to every conceivable corner of the lot The Cotton States is having a deal of trouble with umpires. One was assaulted in Meridian yesterday and another was led from the park in. Columbus by a po- | liceman and deputy sheriff
 Johnny Duggan put a crimp in the as pration of the Peloans yesterday, lis victory coming excedeingly easy. Brett enstein has seen his best day. and 1t is even probable that he is out for the sea son.
 Memphis is slowly cinching it's lead Yesterday Atlanta went down before the | blenders of Gray Fox Stockdale. Castle ton was sadly beaten. Stockdale Is fast becoming the most dangerous man of the Memphis staff. The New Orleans Picayune complains because The Age-Herald credits to that paper clipping taken from the New | Orleans Time Democrat In the other | hand the Times Democrat finds fault, al | leging that the sporting editor of the | Picayunce could not have written the article in question. and that he never had | a thought so bright. Umpires have no trouble in Birming- ham, because the fans are sensible enough to know that hammering does little good. Hackett and Rin mare not very able how ever and Zimmer on strikes and balls. showed poor judgment yesterday, It seemed to the fans who sat in the grand stand yesterday that Fisher had landed safely when he hit the long drive against | right field fence.

Game ExceIIently Played.

There were numerous chances presented to both sides to win the game, but every opportunity went awry. Either the pitch ing of the twirlers or bit of excellent fielding prevented the tally that might have won the game far either side.
 The pitchers occupied the center of the stage. Ragan outpitched Graham al though he allowed one hit more than did the Pirate pitcher. Graham was wild, In the skirmish passing five men. and mak- ing a wild pitch. None of the passes were fatal, however Ragan struck out six men and five ''ozoned'' at the benders of the left-handed gentleman from Louis Jana.
 The game was full of brilliant fielding. Lewee, second baseman of the Pirates. starred enthusiastically at second. Nine of the thirty-six put-outs fell to his lot, and he topped all the fielders with five as sists. Gardner had busy day in left. With the exception of Garvin's blunder, the Barons played an errorless game. Clarke for the Pirates, made wild throw in the beginning of the struggle, and Graffius dropped a third strike, al lowing a runner who had famed to reach the initial corner.

Had Garvin not made an error In the eighth, there would not have been an oc- casion for extra innings. Graffius, In that round, had started off with single to right. and had been sacrificed to sec ond. From that bag he attempted to score when Lewee hit safe to right left. Gardner fielded the ball perfectly to Catcher Garvin, but the sphere jumped out of the init of the backstop. Grafius tallied, and the game was tied up.
 So eXcellently has Garvin been playing for the Barons since the season began, catching in the great majority of games played with a hand so badly injured that every ball caught brought forth a groan, that no fan criticised the player when he made the error that kept the game from the column of Baron victories. In fact, it is thought that the player was so con fident and so eager. that he forgot to squeeze the sphere when 1t hit in the palm of his nit
 The Barons score was made In the htuh inning Lister started the round with q Juicy bingle over third, and was sacrificed to second by Montgomery. Graham got wild at this point and filled the bases by walking Walters and Molesworth. Meek was Johnny on the spot" with single to left but the hit was only long enough to score Lister.

When the shades of evening came down yesterday. the Baron and the Pirate, like two game cocks with necks outstretched were still making passes.
 When the umpire came between the belligerents and jerked them unwillingly apart, twelve rounds had been gone through, and in that number, each side had scored one point.
 The game was brilliant. For a dozen innings the scrapping was red hot. The \pitching of Graham and Rip Ragan was beyond reproach. The fielding of every body was exceptionally good
 Both aggregations were crippled. On account of an injured finger, Shortstop Carr was out of the game. Warrender, rightfelder. was brought to the iniield, and Manager Fisher, the well known Shreveport pitcher, was stationed in right. Montgomery played shortstop for the Bar ons and played 1t exceptionally we'll "'Horseshoe" Smith, on account of bit of indigestion was unable to appear in right field, alfd out of First Baseman Meek. Acting Manager Molesworth made a gardener. So it is seen that the ag- gregation which went a dozen rounds splendidly were out of shape materially.
