WHAT OTHERS SAY.

Any news?' asked the war correspond- ent when the Crackers were over in Bir- mingham.
 'Yes, awful accident said Lou Cas- tro. Bill Dyer caught his toes in the folding bed and nearly broke-the bed. When I went in this morning to borrow a brush and comb Bill was yelling Open it! Open it!' l thought he was having poker dream, but then I noticed his toe was missing. ."-Atlanta Georgian.
 Ryan has had too much experience in the game not to know that umpire bait ing is not only tiresome to the onlookers but disastrous to the team that does the beefing. If more managers of the Ryan and Bernhard type would follow Ryan's s example this league would be lot cleaner and better in every way.-Montgomery Advertiser.
 This appeared some hours before Ryan was ''rowdy' in Atlanta.
 The banishment of Tom Fisher yester- day was not without it's warning. MT. OBrien removed his mask and walking to each bench, warned players that coach CTS would be removed from the lines if men on the benches persisted in coach- ing. Fisher lost his temper momentarily when o Brien refused to listen to his plea that Wood had Intentionally interfered with a thrown ball. He "sassed" MT. O'Brien, and the exclusion act was read Arkansas Gazette.
 Fisher and Ryan are now in command of the elected brigade.
 If we are to take Birmingham's word for it the Montgomery team is not as strong as the dope sheet indicates. Ac- cording to the Baron players and the Birmingham sport writers who saw the Birmingham Montgomery games in Mont gomery, the Sleepyville team is fairly good one-and lucky as a four-leaf horse shoe.
 They say that the pitchers are poor as punk that the batting streak is only a fluke and that the bottom is going to fall out of the present winning streak in a very few days Birmingham con struction of any Montgomery institution is not likely to err on the side of fulsome fiattery so we don't know exactly what to think.
 Local fans will have a chance to judge for themselves Friday for the Montgom- cry team is here for four games.-Atlanta Georgian.
 You are finding the local dope correct, are you not?
 The action of Carpenter in the sixth inning, when he exiled Sabrie and Strat ton, smacked of the real goods in an umpire. The bugs liked his action in standing for no wind jamming about Q decision that would not be changed under any circumstances and especially when the runner was good and proper.-Mem- phis Commercial Appeal.
 Try Cobb has discovered along with some other high-class athletes that play ing the hold-out game isn't popular. Say anything against Try Cobb in this town last October, and they'd take you out to the nearest lamp post. Roast Cobb now, and half the fans in town will murmur, Me, too.' "-Exchange
 We are now in Atlanta. What shall 1t be? Must we take mem all or give Smith a look in on one game. Now 1t is just what Ryan says. If he says he needs all the games. Atlanta better watch out. because he will go after them. We expect to hear something interesting this afternoon and 1t won't be another lost game.-Montgomery Journal.
 Wake up, o Horace the day of reckon ing is comet
 Ante-season dopesters who placed teams before the race began are in almost every instance wrong, as far as the sprint has gone. Mobile and Montgomery were held lightly in the betting, but have been mak- ing the early running, and Montgomery may continue to make things warm.
 But one paste-it-n-your-hat idea seems pretty strong and that is. Mobile will be in the second division before the big fire works show in July is pulled off. That is, unless three other teams have bad luck and members break. their legs. Little Rock enthusiasts who have been discuss ing the baseball situation are far from detracting any glory from Mobile for re- cent wins here. But they think Little Rock has better team. and that the loss will do the Travellers good in the hard school of experience.-Arkansas Gazette.
