position in a letter to the sporting edl- tor of The Age-Herald
 There Is no doubt but that a return match between Pons and Parr would be an attractive card for Birmingham. Pons challenged Parr after the latter had de- feated Yager on the Fourth of July, but the challenge did not reach the English man until after his departure Parr at present is in Chattanooga. Wrestling fa- natics in Birmingham hope that Parr will agree to meet the Frenchman again.

For the next four days the Memphis play in New Orleans. Knowing Manager Frank as Memphians do, they will not be surprised to hear of some act that might serve to kindle a flame already burning brightly. If the Pelican man. ager should happen to attempt to resur- rect any of the many acts in baseball legerdermain he will have to do a better job than he accused Charley Babb of to cause a complaint from the Memphii.
 It will take more than at 12x1S-inch moistened spot in a corner of any old batters box to make a Memphis manager howl. Anyhow, all Southern League cfatchers have ben against the steel plate buried on the Pelican ground, and a holler is yet to be heard.-Memphis Com mercial Appeal
 Once, we accused Memphis of handing games to New Orleans. and vice versa. The old brotherly love. one might guess, is taking an intermission.
 Here is the News-Scimitar's estimate of the Fisheries: "Mr. Graham is great pitcher. Red Fisher, come to think of it, has a swell outfit all the way round. And they are clean ball players too Here's hoping that the Pi- rates finish well up In the race Man ming was robbed of a hit in the sixth by Outfielder Daly.

Pete Lister exBaron, hit for a hona run yesterday in Montgomery. Pete is doing nicely with Nashville, and the fans here are glad of 1t. He Is entirely worthy being good fellow and q hard worker. While with Birmingham he made himself famous by remarking: Do not be wor- ried by what the papers say. Play pall, and the papers will say better things" In the same game that Lister cracked out his four sacker. Perry did a sinI- lar stunt. Speaking of these long hits, reminds that Detroit, though defeated, stung out two home runs yesterday, one falling to the lot of Ty Cobb the Geor- gia phenom.
 All of the above goes to prove that a home run can't balance the score when the other fellows are two to the good.
 It Is hard to Sc wherein Billy Smith can defeat the Barons in the present series. It is not probable that the Crackers defeat Ragan and Wilhelm in one afternoon.

WHAT OTHERS SAY.

The only way to bag a pennant in this league or any other Is by constant watchfulness, a considerable outlay of coin and some tall hustling from start to finish. For example take Babb-al- though 100 points in the lead, he kept on adding talent, bolstering up his people at every chance in spots that looked a bit weak in place of waiting for a big slump to set in. If certain performers fail to show proper form no magnate can afford to wait until lis team is in a Tt before he gets busy. It takes money and constant hustling. but in the end it means more money and much moro joy for those who happen to dwell in the same neighborhood.-Nas Ten nesseean.

Atlanta, July 9.-(Special)-After the game of Monday, Atlanta was crammed to the brim with knockers. There are d goodly number of the "sorehead brigade in this beautiful city, of which every in- habitant has pleasant things to say. Strange. isn't it? Here are the Crackers second in the race. The Barons, tailend- CTS. come to town and win game. The knockers turn loose. It doesn't matter how blue the skies are, the knocker IS or hand
 I was reading In one of the papers here yesterday a very complimentary notice Of the manager of the Atlanta club and tho Atlanta association. A stranger, seated near me. ''butted in with the informa- tion that the writer of the article in ques- ton was tho instrument of the associa- ton. Now fl happened that the writer re- ferred to is a personal friend of mine. knew, of course. that the fellow was ly- ing. infamously lying, ;n fact, but decided to say nothing.
 Why in the world should there be q knocked in Atlanta? The team Is in sec ono place. Suppose it finishes third? Then 1t will have done better than five other teams in the league. Suppose 1t finishes? :? linen it will have done better than four other teams, better than half, at any

More About "knockers.-

The sporting editors generally look at the situation in the light of the above par agraph He Is more than 0 season old. There was absolutely no foundation Tor the slurring remark of the knocker seated beside me. Ordinarily, l would have mus tered up enough courage to resent the ln- suit. in a vertal fashion, at any rate, es- pecially when so cowardl ydelivered. But In this instance, I passed up the fellow 2 remark, realizing that he must of neces- sity be a lisr, absolutely denuded of refine ment, and without gentle birth.
 Speaking of knockers again, l heard one yesterday in this city taking delight congratulating himself that another knocker had agreed with him concerning a proposition. He bored every man ho met with recountrg that fact.
 It is nothing but natural For the kuocker to get the hurrah. Knockers are 'miserables" and misery loves company, The knocker can always find friends. lie is a tearer down, and there are more who would destroy than who build.
 As stated In the beginning, Atlanta Is full of knockers. I have advised all the boys to pay no attention to tEeir out bursts They are miserable enough. Thank heavens, Birmingham. with tail end club, has fewer than Atlanta with n pennant possibility.

Laughs at seribes.

Wep, Billy Smith was on his cranium after the first game. Why, Clark got the Crackers on his hip and kept them there. They wiggle dabout, but were helpless before the underhand upshoot that was working well.
 certainly had the laugh on Percy Whiting, Alex Lynn. Walter Taylor. and other scribes of this city. Before the Barons came, as you all remember. they boasted that a clean sweep of the series would be made. We need the games, theJ cried, "come on, Barons.' None or them had single kind line to say. Wal ter Tnylor said that they were former 'pennant winners" but this expression is no longer complimentary. "As long as Sid Smith Is out of the game. averred Percy Whiting. i've will be satisfied with two of three.'
 We'll the Barons came. and won the first game. In that way l got the laugh on tle Atlanta scribes. a nice bunch of fellows, and incidentally all the pen" money that Walter Taylor had about him.
 Today it rained just before the game. Alex Lynn, the youngest writer in At lanta, said that the rain saved the Barons. This is the spell generally hand ed out by a stripling. and brought forth but one thing, wee little snicker, that came in flash and went away as quickly

Rosy for Barons.

Any how, Billy Smith won't say wether or not there will be doubleheader to- morrow afternoon. As you know. it Is LID to Billy Harry Vaughn doesn't care. He said so just that minute. If he makes us play two games,' l will work Ragan and Wilhelm. If Smith can get away with both of the struggles, then I will help q friend of mine eat hundred thousand hats about the first of August" |"
 As you know, Harry and Ragan had planned to taks the second straight to- day. Ragan stated at noon that he felt excelently and Ragan has lost very few games to Atlanta. They think the big fellow is all to the peanuts over here. And really, he is. We'll the rain came. Tomon ow, believe that Ragan will win the first game If the doubleheader is ordere, and l am inclined to believe that Wilhelm will win or come os near to 1t that he will scare Billy Smith into speak ing inielligently. In fact. I do not be- lieve that Atlanta will win the present series l am inclined to the opinion that things look rosy for Birmingham in At lanta Wouldn't 1t make them angry if the Barons defeated them in the series. \, Cal, such a thins Is not impossible.

POISON IN THE WALLPAPER
Kills Three Women Before Physicians
Discover What Took Their
Lives.

Evansville, Ind. April 8. - Physi-
clans have discovered that poison con-
tanned in paper that covered the walls
of room in the home of James Wat
son in Posey county caused the death
a few days ago of Mrs. Watson, who
it was believed at first, died Of menin-
gifts. Watson has lost three wives in
the last three years. All showed the
same symptoms in theirlast illness, and
it is believed each was poisoned by the
paper. Watson says each of his wives
cleaned the wallpaper a short time be-
fore she became i'll and died.
The paper has been examined By
chemists, and Is found to contain G
virulent poison. When brushed or
shaken a fine, mica-like substance falls
from it 1t was to prevent mail clerks
and other postal employees from being
poisoned that the government recently
forbade the mailing Of souvenir post
cards covered with this preparation.
