WHAT OTHERS SAY.

Ttuuuerndm returned to ms habits of | the second game, and gave the locals all the worst of it. He was particularly bad on balls and strikes and it was due to his poor sight that one of the Nashville | runs was made in the seventh Buchanan was splitting the plate for McElveen but Rudderham would not see it that way, and the big third baseman was given a base on balls. Wells attempted sacri- | flee immediately afterwards resulted in a | hit and made possible the two runs that | tied up the score. Even the umps him | self afterwards admitted that on that one occasion he was wrong.-Arkansas Ga zette.
 | Restrain your wrath. Do not roast um- pires when you have any one else Despite the financial losses occasioned | by frequent rains throughout the circuit, | all the clubs are working along in good | financial condition. The reported dissat- | isfaction at Montgomery has been reme- | died by the wonderful strengthening of | the team over there. and there Is not the | slightst possibility of a change being made
 in the league this season.-President Kay anaugh.
 | Weldon Henley. formerly of Atlanta. in | the Southern league, Is making good in | National uniform, he did in an Amer can league outfit. Speaking of his debut
 
 | American said:
 Weldon Henley, who formerly toiled | for Connie Mack, had his National league l coming-out, and his work was good | enough to win, under most circumstances, l but he was under the Brooklyn handicap. | His service was riddled only five times. | and he handed over five passes. The sporting writers in Philadelphia | have formed union. We can't conceive | the object, unless to request that working hours be reduced from twenty to eighteen hours per day. That's our only trouble | out this way.-Chicago Record-Herald. Down south, too.-Atlanta Georgian. | Six days a week for Whiting is rather strenuous. Now, in Memphis-.-Mem ! phis News Scimitar.
 Try 1t on a paper lowing every morning in the year and Christmas, too, and you | will learn what work is.
 "Ed Hurlburt's the headiest man in the | Southern league. If he only had speed
 on bases, he would be star in a major | league" | That's Manager Babb's estimate of his 1 big backstop. His work in the last two | games with New Orleans, says Babb, was l worth $50 If a cent. figuring it in cold cash Further, the Boy Manager remarks: He's always on the job. There is not | a minute of the game but that Ed IS l working to win, and he never overlooks q 1 chance to help the cause along. Watch how he goes after foul flies. Watch how | he throws to second. With his head and arms he's quick as greased lightning, and ! if he only could make his legs keep up
 with his think-box, he would be a big l league wonder As it is, there's not | manager in the Southern league who wouldn't gladly swap any backstop on the | circuit for him" ."-Memphs News Scim- | itar. We choose Garvin.
 | Manager Vaughn has four husky pitch CTS in Clark. Wilhelm Turner and Ragan. fGarvin is one of the best catchers m | the league. Meek on first base is putting , up consistent article of ball, as Is the rest of the infeld, which includes Walters I on second base, Oyler at short and Al" cock on third base. The outfield is a very ] fast proposition, with Smith in right field, Molesworth in centre, and Gardner taking care of Daleys field. It is only a matter ] of time until Manager Vaughn's team re- gains It's batting stride and then they will make 'em all sit up and take notice 1 Shreveport Times.
 We thank you, though we do fear sometimes.
 | So they say that Manager Dobbs Is
 doing the Billy Smith act in regard 10 | suspending players to make the limit of | fourteen. Dobbs is in no way trying to | dodge the issue He Is as anxious to cut i down the roster as any other manager 1 and so far as passing around the shekels 1 is concerned he Is within the mark. Only, ! fourteen men are drawing pay, therefore
 no possible complaint can be made. Es- | pecially so, if Elmer Duggan wants to 1 remain on the ground without pay. AS l for Jack Ely, he has been on the suspend | ed list for more than a week. Don't wor-
 ry, Nashville is not breaking any rules Nashville American.
 .If Elmer Duggan wants to! Of course he doesn't, and of course he isn't Won- der if Ely was not on the salary list
 when he won a game some time hence
