Then Harry Matthews has again sprung into the lime light. Sporting Editor Tenders of the Shreveport Times handed out q roast which Is said to have enraged tho player. According to the reports sent out, Matthews cursed the writer and was struck in the face The two clinched, and Matthews landed on top, striking Renders In tn face.
 The quarrel created great deal Of attention, but as far as known nothing official has been done in reference to same.
 From this camp the roast of the writ CT seemed almost too bitter.
 Then Lave Cross has come south aft CT having starred unmistakably in the big leagues.
 All the above goes to bring Frank and his team before the calcium and keep them there.
 The Pelicans and the Barons open an engagement today If past records count for anything, the series will be a strenuous one.
 Guese, who was left at home when Frank took the paths, will arrive in Birmingham this morning and will work this afternoon.
 Wilhelm will probably oppose him.
 
 Turner was hit hard. but still the Barons might have won had they pulled every string. Turner was hit ten times and gave one base on balls. Bills was hit four times, three for doubles, gave six passes and scored a wild pitch. l Both pitchers, judging from the l above, were ineffective. A special to The Age Herald pub L. 1 fish ed In another column, Is to the effect that the president Is endeavoring to increase the number of umpires to eight.
 It Is therefore apparent that he will remedy the defective system in vogue at present.
 He will either work the double sys-

tenn entirely or will use some of the officials supernumeraries.
 Changes. generally, are good and this is not the proverbial exception. It is not necessary to prove the rule-
 Carlos Smith did the work yesterday, getting two doubles and driving home both of Birmingham's runs.
 That meeting of the directors sched- uled for Sunday looks ominoGs. It's safe prediction that something Is go- ing to fall. and fall harder than the Barons did today.
 As much as we like Ginger" Clark, we do not consider him stouter with the stick than Turner.
 Perhaps Manager Vaughn does know better how to manage his team, and perhaps 1t didn't matter which of the two pitchers tried to hit Bills to safe territory.
 But the incident was funny, never theless.
 Rip RaRan was able to appear at the ball park yesterday afternoon He will get again into the box as soon as he recovers his strength, which will be, ac- cording to his physicians, toward the shank of the present series with New Orleans.
 Infantile threats that cause smile of derision and inane and indirect charges under a pen name, known by the man making them to be infamous falsehoods, are of little interest to fan dom and should be passed up.
 All of which reminds us that within faD n sold 1eRitimately in the southern states, and prompts the digressive remark that had none been sold during the last ten years. many men today would be saner and safer.
 We are further reminded that pros poets for a game today are good.

Poor Old FitZSif71171O1S
 Knocked Out By Negro Fight Philadelphia smacks Very Much of the Fake the Great Old Pugilist Makes No Defense Whatever
 When Called to Time in the Ring.

Philadelphia, July 17.--Jack Johnson, the negro pugilist, stopped Bob Fitzsimmons In the second round of six round box ing bout before the Washington Sporting club tonight. Fitz did not show trace of his former prowess and it Is probable that Johnson could have stopped him in the opening round if he had cared to do so. The blow that put Fitz out was light right to the jaw.
 The old man fell to the floor and as he made no attempt to rise, the referee

stopped the bout. The hissing which usually follows knockouts of this char acter, was absent, the spectators avi- d-ntly. taking compassion on the former pugilistic star.
 Referee Keenan refused to act in the ring because he had heard that Fitzszim mons had badly sprained his arm. The manager of the club then entered the ring and watched the uneven match. In the opening round Johnson tapped Fitz when and where he chose but the latter was unable to even land his famous counters.
