the Barons have better team and we do not think they outplayed us. Then what was the matter? Ask the fans Montgomery Journal.
 No one, Horace can tell better than you how a team defeats another. Bear your own burdens, if you please.
 Charley Frank has failed to show much ability running a winning club this year The Pelicans have imbibed lit tie from the fountain of wisdom and al though the shrewdest manager in the league, helping his team win by canny coaching. Is another thing. However, he will probably remain on the job-New Orleans Picayune.
 In spite of your boldness Frank is master of Pelicanville.
 Concerning home run hits in Montgom- cry this season, the Montgomery State says:
 Fourteen is the total number to date and here are the men that swatted them out and the pitchers who got swatted.
 Houtz. off Manuel; Houtz. off Brett enstein; Ball of Breitensteinl Molesworth off N eems; Molesworth off Malarky; Perry off Ragan; Perry off Sorrell; Per ry off Kommers; Perry off Eyler; Haul sen off Wilhelm; Hausen off Turner; Lis ter off Walsh, Henlne off Hoffer, Turner off Weems.
 Then Memphis has a slight advantage in the teams she plays. After this week ends the Memphis team plays the full outfit of Fasteners at home and then does the same trick on the road.
 The Crackers, on the other hand. play the Westerners on the road and then at home.
 And q glance at the standings at any h; aI- ly the Eastern clubs as whole are softer than the ,, esterners.
 Therefore the fact that the Memphis team plays Fasteners and the Atlanta team Westerners, gives Babb a slight bulge on SmI.h.-Atlanta Georgian
 Fielder Jones, manager of the world s champion White SoX. became a ball play CT by accident out for streak of hard luck he might have become merely great engineer. Fielder Jones started out as a civil engineer. and. by the way. Fielder is his real name. He was sent on an expedition with some surveyors to northern Canada. At that time the country was on big boom and in the hands of hot air promoters. One morning Fielder Jones woke up and found that his backing had blown up and he was with out job and flat broke more than an0 miles from home. He had to do some thing, so he began practcing and be- came a professional ball player. He had played some at Alfred college, in northern New York. By playing every day that he could get a job Jones saved enough money to pay his fare back to Pennsylvania. There he continued playing ball until he was picked up by major league. Jones Is a man of high educa- ton and sometimes regrets that he gave up his career civil engineer When he is done with the White Sox he will return to the plumb line and transit.- Evening World.

What Schreck Would Like.

Ossie Schreck, the famous one-hand catcher of the Athletics, is perhaps the greatest pie-eater among the profess sional ball players of today. Ossle can eat pie at any and all times, declares his brother ball tossers. Connie Mack says he always expects to hear the ho- tel management along the route set up "holler" on account of the way the horny-handed Schreck goes into the pastry.
 Mike Powers, the doctor, who Is close student of all things pertaining to the medical profession, was the other day reading a treatise entitled The Revolution in the Mince Pie. when Os- sic SchrecS happened along, and glanc- ing over Mikes shoulder, his eye took in the title of the work. Turning to the little doctor. he exclaimed:
 That's the kind of a revolt, Mike, that I would like to put down."

DoYIe's Touching Friends.

Laporte, the third-sacker of the New York team, and one of the most natural batsmen in the league today. was recent ly complaining of the fckleness of the fans. It was brought about by the fact that a large number of the Gotham root CTS got after the big fellow because he had taken q temporary slump in his bat ting, and they thought he ought to have got a couple of hot liners that were sent down to him as if they had been shot from a thirteen-inch gun.
 All at once some fellow in the left field seats began to yell for Griffith to put Conroy back at third. When Laporte canie in to the bench at the end of the in ming he was remarking to Willie Keeler about how a ball player was a prince in the estimation of the crowd one day while the next he was liable to be the most reviled among human beings.
 "Well' replied the philosophic and rather taciturn Keeler, who has developed certain views on life, its the same all over the world; it's easy to make friends, but it's hard to keep them.'
 It's not so in my case" chimed in that noted satirist Pitcher Doyle as he gave his belt a hitch. 'I have several friends who appear to be perfectly willing to let me keep them.'

 -~~-~--------- a gent named Henline blew into Owner Colemans office at Memphis and applied for job The magnate directed him to Babbs headquarters and Babb signed him up Neither had ever heard of him before, so when Montgomery came along requesting the services of an outfielder Babb turned him over to Malarkey in exchange for s20O.
 Henline today ranks with the best men in the league and is batting over 20 points higher than any outfielder on the Bluff City team. '1f 1 had him today" re- marked MT. Coleman, "I wouldn't take $500 for him. Such is baseball vile Tennesseeau.
 the reason why Babb has been able to keep team of only fair ability up in the race are as follows:
 Fair fortune.
 Ability of Babb to get every ounce of playing ability out of his men.
 Babbs gentleness in his dealings with individual players of his team.
 Cooperation of the Memphis newspa- pers.

The much discussed directors meeting, slated for Memphis Tuesday, was not held on account of the fact that a quo rum of the directors was not present.
 The body took no formal action. The adjournment was indefinite, which means that all protested games off.
 President Chambers of Montgomery managed to gain the transference of games scheduled for Montgomery this week to Atlanta. This was allowed be- cause of the fact that the grand stand of the Montgomery club was recently de- stroyed by storm.
 The recent controversy between Mana ger Frank of New Orleans and Manager Babb of Memphis, the former alleging that the latter had "doctored" the home plate IF Memphis, this initiating against the Pelicans wining has probably blown over, and from statements made by Pres ident Baugh yesterday, Manager Frank has probably backed down." taken wa ter,' and thrown up the sponge.

Manager Frank Beaten.

In fact, Frank threatened great things, and people expected to hear the inside" of d scandal when the directors got to- gether. Not so, however.
 It leaked out that the matter is prob ably settled, and that Frank will hand over the $500
 It was learned by those who attended the meeting that Manager Frank had written several letters to President Cole man. and that that gentleman declined to answer President Coleman informed President Baugh that he would not com promise. President Baugh advised the Memphis official to let the matter drop without compromising himself in case Frank agreed to withdraw his charges ana pay over the $500. The letters from Frank to Coleman probably sought to smooth matters over, and 1t is now a practical certainty that Frank has backed down, and the scandal is past number
 Sale of Franchise.
 While the directors and others were informally talking President Baugh gave expression to the fact that a MT. Booth oI Houston had made overtures to ~lr- chase the local franchise Mir Baugh stated yesterday, in reference to this matter, that when Booth made his offer. ne (Baugh) informed the Texan that if he made cash offer of $50.000 the mat ter would be taken under consideration MT. Booth, as was expected. made no such offer, and the matter was dropped It is not to be construed that the local franchise Is for sale, although it Is true as matter of fact, that if anyone of fered $5000O for the franchise, the local directors and stockholders would be called together to consider the matter
 President on Hand.
 President Kavanaugh attended the meeting, There were representatives from several clubs, but Mir. Baugh was the only director Vice President Arnold who with the president. would have sat win the director. was on hand. but with the addition to the league officials, there were too many missing, still.
 It is probable that there will be no more meetings until after the close of the season. Because it was troublesome and expensive to pace to Memphis on every pretext the meeting was adjourned to an indefinite period. All protested games therefore. including the one filed against Memphis hy the New Orleans club, have practically passed out of cur rent history

DISAPPOINTING
 WAS HE MARKET
Even Denn-Arizona Took Slump Along with the
 Others.
(By Frank J. Graf.)

The action of today's market was but what was expected, es- pecially in Denn-Arizona. Coppera declined from one to four points for the day and many closed at the low point for the day. Calumet & Arizo. na opened at $164.O0 and so down the entire market closing at $160.00 bid Superior & Pittsburg was offered at the close at s16.00 in small lots. North Butte closed at s76.50 almost reach ing the panic prices of March. Butte Coalition dropped to $23.00. Denn- Arizona opened at s1075 to $11.0O, and sales were made at $1l.OO al though there was little stock coming out up to this price. Several hours after the opening of the market Denn was offered rather freely and the east withdrew its bids, last sales being made at S1O.12. Shattuck-Arizona seems to be in fair demand at S29Ga American is well supported at S912. The eastern market suffered consid- erably today, heavy selling taking place within the last two hours of the session. Amalgamated, old Dominion, North Butte, oston Consolidated, Cal umet & Hecla and Calumet & Arizo- na suffered more than any of the cop pers.

 CHICAGO, Aug. 1.-Market is act ing all right. We advise you early to buy it on any dip under yesterdays close. We regard this as a decided showing of strength in view of the fact that the majority of the trade is bearish he volume of the outside busi- ness for the present small and yet strong people same 10 the front and took the wheat offerings on the dip and gave the market a strong turn at the close. The southwest has slight increase in winter wheat receipts. The conditions of lower cables at the opening gave bears a little encourage ment but the market was firm in sympathy with coarse grains. St. Louis reported a decided let-up and the country offerings of wheat both in Missouri and illinois points. Should this cause a decrease in receipts at southwest market it would be very bullish feature. Look for higher cable in the morning and renewed -trength in wheat if corn and oats hold strong.
 Wheat breaks the result of selling by local longs. Bear leaders are very timid about pressing short sales. It is believed that any sharp break in prices will bring good export busi- ness.
