 A rumor has been floating over the local dunghill for a day so to the effect that Manager Dobbs has deal on where by he hopes to land a first class man for the inheld. The party in view is said to belong to Brooklyn, and that an offer of S1500 has been made for him. MT. Dobbs had nothing to say fin regard to the mat ter. However, 1t Is known that he wants another man, and he does not intend to stop until he bags one.-Nashville Amer ican.
 A good infelder is worth his weight in gold.
 This glad May day also marks the ad- vent of the other teams back home. On the recent western trip Atlanta and Nash Vile were the only two easterns to hold their ground but as We have delicately hinted before, there's no good reason why Birmingham and Montgomery shouldn't begin to climb If Malarky's team doesn't strike winning gait soon we'll agree to throw the pipe out of the window and start to smoking something else. Blr- mingham has been having too many brainstorms of late to be figured upon. If they cut out their Harry Thaw tac- tics, however, and throw out the grap- nels there's no potent reason why this team shouldn't march up hill from to- day on.-Nashville Tennessean. We're still hoping all right. Rocked in the Cradle of the Deep will never appeal to Billy Smith any more, and all because he has been rocked in a New Orleans bus. There Is an element in New Orleans that represents the worst part of the Crescent City population that
  Ing ball clubs, and particularly Atlanta. A crowd composed of this sort of rag-tag and bob-tail fellows got around the bus of the Atlanta club after the game on Monday and stoned the players These men and boys acted In bad manner and 1t was with difficulty that the bus was gotten away from the park.-Atlanta Journal.
 How they love each other, those fel- lows!
 Elmer Duggan, recently suspended by Manager Dobbs, has been absent from the city for week or more. He was in- structed to return here and get into con dition, but after arriving departed for parts unknown, and as yet no word has been heard from him. It Is presumed that he returned to his home in the north- Nashville American.
 Has Elmer jumped?
 
 The announcement made in The Amer ican several days ago that Cliff Latlmer would join Birmingham was verified yes- terday by Manager Dobbs. When 1t was learned that "Tacks' was to be out here Vaughn immediately wired him for his terms. This was done, Latimer expect ing to receive his release last Monday. President Kuhn held up final action In the matter until Mir Dobbs got back home. Yesterday they were in communication with the Barons, with the result that Tacks goes to the slagpile. He departed on the 2:25 o'clock train this morning, and will be on duty for the Barons this afternoon.
 Many of the fans will regret to learn that Latimer departs as there are very many that consider him crack behind the willow. Manager Dobbs hestated for some time before dropping him from the roster, and 1t was only after careful sizing up the situation that he made up his mind He retains Hardy because of his all-around ability especially because of his hitting. In Wells he believes he has a very promising man.-Nashville Amer- can.
 He arrives today.
 Molesworths catch was overlooked in the ninth. He caught Owens drive with one hand. but was too far out to throw the runner out on third, who scored on the play.-Memphis Commercal-Apepa Molesworth always electriies audiences. Lister saved the game from breaking up with only one out in the ninth, by knock Ing down high throw from Oyler that was meant to retire Neighbors. It was the greatest leap ever seen here, ac- cording to some expert testimony of old time fans.-Memphis News Scimitar.
 
 Neighbors thought Alcock attempted to interfere with him in the second when he scored, but the mass of evidence was against the local man.-Memphis Commer- cial Appeal.
 Catcher Latimer. released by Nashville, went begging, and will be uncondi- tionally released. And still Vaughn claims to want a catcher badly.-New Orleans Picayune.
 They're a bunch of mutton-heads down in New Orleans. Latimer Is ours, all right.
