SOUTHERN LEAGUE STANDING.
Results Yesterday.

Birmingham Montgomery, postponed, rain.
 New Orleans Memphis, postponed, rain.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1908-07-03

It seldom happens that no games are played in the Southern league during a day
 But there was an absence of hits and errors, triumphs and defeats yester- day.
 No games were scheduled, though two postponed affairs were attempted, one in Montgomery and the other in New Orleans. Rain interfered with both.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1908-07-03

Who is the first man to detect crook edness in others?
 Why. crook of course.
 It Is ridiculous to state that the team is purposely throwing Bauer down. It is an absurdty on it's face, and Bauer doesn't appreciate intimations to the contrary.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1908-07-03

It is all very well for the wiseacre to stand apart and express dissatisfaction.
 He was dissatisfied with Harry Vaughn and would be dissatisfied with anyone to whom the association entrusted the reins of government.
 We do not know whether Molesworth will be a success as a manager or not.
 But it is only in fairness that the peo- pie should give him a chance. So far he has done well. He may do even better. Therefore it is ridiculous to stand apart and declarely wisely:
