 1 It was a day for the westerners. Att lanta saved the honor of the east from going beyond recall.
 Two out of three is excellent. The Bar ons, sirce returning. are playing that 666 ball of which mention was made.
 Eyler is decidedly the best in the camp of tho Travellers. None of the others tried here are considered exceptionally strong.
 Larry Hoffman. formerly with Atlanta, has signed with Bernie Mckay of Mo bile. Bernie has caught a good one in Larry.
 Aey are having trouble with umpires | in the Cotton States circuit. From Co., lumbus and Meridian hollers were heard yesterday.
 Bugs" Raymond has left Charleston temporarily for Illinois, where. it Is ru- mored, above his home the legendary stork is lowering.
 Clark was liberal with his free trans portatIon, although none of his gifts re- suited seriously yesterday, which, by the way, is quite out of the ordinary.
 fishe~ went to the slab yesterday to relieve Becker, but could not turn the tide. Atlanta won without great effort, although hitting was free on both sides.
 Columbus and Jacksonville went for seventeen innings yesterday. The fans may notice that in the Sally circuit some mighty fine baseball is being 1 played.
 Sitton, with the exception of Raymond. is the best pitcher of the South Atlantic. Everyone remembers when Birmingham had a claim on the then Clemson college l twirler
 Columbia of the South Atlantic, among others, has signed DeArmond, the old | ontnpIdar and third baqen1an Little Rock Birmingham even could use De- | Armond.
 Memphis, one would judge. had very easy sailing in Nashville. What a jar those continued defeats must have been to those who are claiming great things l for Nashville!
 New Orleans ran across snap down l in Montgomery. Things were so easy that Harry Matthews even got in the game, getting two hits, making two runs and stealing a base Garvin received new injuries yesterday. When Smith threw Page out at the plate 1 the collision between catcher and runner was severe, Garvin having been stretch ed out on the ground.
 Philadelphia and New York engaged in sugging match yesterday, and the Phillies landed the game. The defeat of the Giants sent Chicago again to the 1 top of the National league
 Shreveport comes today. Give Manager Fisher a rouslng reception and severe drubbing. Ragan will open up. and it is probable that Hickman will be sent to the slab for the visitors
 Moesworth and Smith did excellent l fielding yesterday. One of the most spec tacular bits of infield fielding ever seen in Birmingham was in yesterdays game, l when Page robbed Gardner in the fourth inning, stopping red hot grounder with a single hand.
 Frank Owens, the clever Memphian, by means of a recent opera ton. is minus d tonsil. Glenn Lebhardt. concidentally, who was Memphis leading twirer last season. and who is now starring with Cleveland. Is out of the game. too, and is preparing to undergo an operation for throat trouble Is there something in the Memphis air which hurts the throat? The Montgomery State has been pub lished Sporting Editor Goldthwaite is in charge of the sporting page The sporting editor is a Montgomery boy, and is serving his initiation. He has thor ough knawledge of sports. however. and that he will make good goes without say ing. The sporting feature pages of tho State Sunday were excellent, and must have caused the fans of the Capital City to wake up. May the State have good luck, and may it's dope always be patri- ottic, whether patriotism is good or not.
 Down in New Orleans there is red hot discussion on concerning whether or not the home run hit by Rickert last week was really a quadruple smash or simply single, assisted by an error. The of ficial scorer sys that Joe got home run, and because he said it. it goes. That is what the fans care for. Do MT. Fox and Mir Hamilton think the public care a rap as to whether or not either is right? They know Joe gets credit fer the "homer." Fans do not care about quarrels between sporting writers They are always tiresome and useless, prompted l simply by love for notoriety.
