Thirteen-Inning Tie.

Meridian, June Especially .)-The game was called at the end of the 18th inning by Umpire Matthews because of darkness, with the score tied be- tween Meridian and Jackson. It was one of the most interesting games of the season and was witnessed by one of the largest attendances ever as- sembled in the lot. Veasy was knocked out of the box by the local heavy hit ters in the ninth inning when Meri- dian tied the score. Blakeny was sub stituted and stopped effective bat work. Ellinor worked the entire time, and with the exception of the ninth kept his hits we'll scattered. Score: R. H. E. Jackson 100. 900 002 900 0-3 II 2 Meridian '. 900 900 102 900 0-3 10 2

Atlanta, Ga., June 27.-Never since the days when baseball was a mere pastime, and not even since it became a national problem, have the scouts chased out from the big league towns as early in the season as they have this year.
 Cleveland has had a man prowling around the Southern and other southland leagues for a week, seeking whom he could snap up ahead of the other would be talent gatherers. The first result of his efforts was the deal for "Gulfport Jack" Ryan. Then he surprised that star judge of latent talent-Bill Smith-by of- lanta has sent to Augusta for another year of seasoning.
 It becomes evident that the big leaguers are going through the Southern this year with even a finer tooth comb than usual
 And what will they gather? Judged by the random way they picked up players last year, they will take lot that south instance, they took Spade, who was Aa- lantas second best pitcher, and did not take Castleton, who appeared a better man. They grabbed Sweeney, catcher who batted but .22S. They copped out Graham of Shreveport, who did not win half his games and Wells, the Nashville catcher, who stood absolutely last in fielding among Southern catchers.
 So you can't tell exactly what players are going to be fancied by the men sent south by the majors.
 Of course, several players are farmed in the south New York has left Castle ton, and this lad is apparently entitled to a try with the Highlanders next season. On a warm day he can pitch as well as any of your average big leaguers Speak CT is another, who is in the farm, and certainly this big league outfielder is go- ing to be ripe by next spring He is hit ting better than 1925. On present appear ances he is the surest man in the South ern league to make good with the maj ors.
 Of course, Briscoe Lord of New Or leans wears the Athletic brand, and is likely to be cut out of the Pelican herd and shipped to Philadelphia at any min ute. The fact that he is batting over BOO must make him look good to Connie Mack.
 Hunter. who came to Nashville from the Brooklyn club, will doubtless go back

to that aggregation next spring, provid- ed Manager Donovan wants him.
 Of the "unattached' players in the Southern there are not many as yet who can be surely ticketed for the big leagues.
 Atlanta is in the unusual predicament of having her best playing done by a couple of old-timers, George Winters and Otto Jordan. Winters admits to 32 years and is probably older. He had his chance to go to the big leagues a few years back, and refused it. Now he seems ripe again. if 300 batting and almost fault less fielding are any criterions.
 Otto Jordan was a big leaguer before he came to Atlanta. He is 2S years old, and came to Atlanta from Brooklyn. Be- fore his Dodger career he was with Bing hampton
 That Otto will have a chance to go back is certain. In fact, nearly month ago the Highlanders offered $3O00 for Otto, but the offer was turned down. Otto says he will retire from baseball before he will leave Atlanta, where he has a nice home and a growing chicken farm.
 Raub, catcher of the Birmingham club seems to be headed toward the big leagues He has consistently batted over 300 and is a fair catcher and a pretty fair man on bases. Massing of Montgom- cry, Persons of Montgomery, and few like that are batting well enough to jus tify the scouts in taking notice, but they haven't much chance.
 Cranston of Memphis is being touted as coming big leaguer, and his playing here has seemed to indicate that he has chance He is a fair batter and an in- fielder
 Daubert of Nashville doubtless goes back to Cleveland for another try. He appears to be the best fielding first base man in the Southern league. His hitting has not been heavy, however. Jim Col lns of Little Rock, Owens of Memphis, and Pope of Montgomery are possibilities, though nightly weak at h.tung.
 It is a trifie early as yet to select the probable pitching stars of the year.
 Little Grant Schopp of Atlanta has been going nightly strong, and may get call, especially as he is one of the much-desred southpaws. Robinson of Birmingham is another of the league s phenomenons and will be worth a big league trial if he keeps up his present going Several of the old hands are show ing extra cunning-men like Shields Of Memphis Bartley of New Cl.eans, Bu- chanan of Little Rock and Fisher of Mo- bile. any one of them is likely to get a call higher.
 It's all guess work right now. But the fans are having a lot of fun trying to pick the men who will ''go up and there are certain to be a lot of them who do this thing between now and the end of the next drafting season.

of the opinion that another season would not do him any harm.
 The young twirler is certain to go higher unless something occurs to mar his record. So far he has appeared in six games in the Southern league, and has scored five shut-out victories. Con sidering Birmingham's position in the race his record to date is nothing less than marvellous.
 While Robinson has received mora than his share of praise, he is level headed enough not to become spoiled He realizes tha. his record has just started. and that much work must be done to maintain his standing of excel lence He is fast improving from u strained tendon, and will be able to work this week.

New York, June 27.--Harvard took the final athletic honors of the college year from Yale today, capping her victory in the varsity boat race at New London on Thursday and her baseball victory at Cambridge two days previously, with the capture of the final game in the annual series from the team of 'Old Eli" at the Polo grounds by the score of g to 5.
 A typical crowd of 15,o0O college enthu- siasts witnessed the game. Yale made a plucky fight and kept things interesting to the end. There was plenty of heavy hit ting, including two home runs, Aronson for Harvard batting out one and Williams of Yale the other. Score:

 But Murray is coming. He has not been playing ball, but Is in fine shape to throw them over. Kay also writes that he will soon be able to fill in for the out field and hit a few good ones, so that Baxter will not be missed after all. One or two other prospects are in sight, and the team promises to be all right by the time it goes up against Atlanta for a double-header on the glorious Fourth.
 But any way, the team Is playing good ball. It might and can do better, but 1t is doing very well. The fans are trying to pull more than knock. so that the help is forthcoming. Ryan says he will get the boys back in the fastest company of the league and President Chambers takes the same view of 1t. And the fans think as much, so that the outlook is good for more happiness in the good old town by the slow-moving river, into whose waters Gray Eagle threw himself when Jackson was trying to tag him between third base and home.

Hardy, who was on the bench in citi- zens clothing, was called in to take his place behind the bat. Hardy put on his uniform but when he took his position, Umpire Fitzsimmons objected to the tan shoes he wore and ordered Hardy to replace them with regulation baseball shoes. Hardy took too long to make the change and the game was declared forfeited to Montgomery by score of 9 to 0. The score up to the time of the wrangle was 3 to in the visitors favor. Score:

Montgomery, June 27.-(Special.)- .)-Any hefty ball player who can cover up the keystone sack and scoop up grounders and hit up about .3O0 can find good job if he will let it be known to James Ryan, manager of the climbing Climbers, otherwise known as the Montgomery ball club. With a fine tooth comb Jimmy he is called Jimmy when the team is head up-has raked the country o'er but no second-saclxer can be upturned He is wanted and needed, and he may look a great big fat check in the face every once in a while if he is feeling that way
 Ryan says that neither love, money or the advantages of the good water in Montgomery has brought any man out to play the place. He wants to know the secret-or he would rather have the man.
