JUDGE CONNER VISITS CANADA.
Responds Interestingly to Review Request Of
Account Of His Trip.

Editor Review
When you asked me to make some
observations upon my recent trip into
Canada, first thought there was
nothing could say which would be of
general interest, but after thinking
over the country through which l
passed. and refreshing my recollec-
tion of what saw, it may be that q
brief account of what came under my
notice would be worth mentioning.
A daylight trip through Minnesota
from st. Paul and portion of North
Dakota. embracing the valley of the
Red River. was revelation to me.
The entire distance was through what
seemingly appeared an unbroken
wheat field. with the golden grain
either in shock or waiting the sickle.
The crop. in Minnesota especially. is
up to or above the average yield. but
in portions of North Dakota, tn.
drouth has caused the crop to be
light.
The next view l had of the country
was after crossing the boundary line
into Canada, where on either side OF
the track. so far as the eye could
reach were fie ds of golden grain.

our own country as of the very first
rank in point of size, that we scarce.

President Chambers Signs
 Bergnann, NelO Pitcher

This makes four Ameriean Associa- ton players on Ryan's staff--Ceemin- ger, Shannon, Thomas and Bergman. By the same tolI Ien 1t puts Ryan again in the hole with seven pitchers Thomas, Van Anda, Cristal. Stackpole. Helm, Bliss and Bergman. With Moose Baxter suspended 1t puts Ryan with sixteen men-three outfelders. four tnfielders (wath Bliss on frst). two catchers. six pitchers and a utility man. This Is one over the limit of fif- teen men, unless he suspends .Stackpole until he gets in condition, which he will probably do unless Helm Is sus- pended.
 One man will have to be suspended today as Bergman joins the team in Memphis, and 1t lies between Stackpole and Helm as Bliss can hardly be dis pensed with until Baxter gets back in the game next Wednesday. With Thorn as too sick to go with the team. Stack pole not in shape and Helm showing up poorly, the bulk of the Western trip will have to be done by Van Anda, Cris- tal and Bergmann, unless Bliss works in the box and Hassett goes to nrst base. ,.
 With all the hard luck the Climbers are making an admirably plucky nght. and great credit is due Manager Ryan and the entire team.

 Handily. SAVAGE WAS BEASTLY PUZZLE The Memphian Struck Out Nine "We'uns" Which Hurt. Only Runs of Climbers came By Con- seeutfve Hitting But the Streak Was Not Long--Pepe's Two

The Egyptians got back at the Climbers yesterday and romped away "Isn lhs game by score of 8 to g.
 Hoss Helm went in for Ryan's bunch ana besides being hammered pretty nara in the first. third and fifth in- nings he received support that was somewhat on the blink. Pope was tho chief offender with couple of throws that were of the lansing order and resulted In couple of runs in the nrst and one in the seventh. Beyond this the team played an errorless game but they didn't seem to have their ac- customed snap and speed.
 The primary cause of their downfall however, was a young chap by the that celebrated finger nail curve of his working to great degree of per fection. Of the six hits made off him three came In the third inning, the others being Perry's two-bagger in the second and a couple of infield hits that were too hot for Savage by Grem- finger and Persons in the eighth.
 During the remainder of the excit- ing afternoon Savage had the Climb CTS standing on their heads in their frantic, futile efforts to even scratch out a hit. Bliss struck out three times, Ryan twice. Helm twice. and Pope and Greninger one each, making nine men to bite the dust without get ting away from the plate. He gave
 
 cost him anything. Steve Reagan drew one in the fifth and Persons and Pope one each in the sixth. The fact is he had the Climbers buffaloed good and proper while Babb's people seemed to be able to hit Helm just at any time they needed hits to bring in runs-and that tells the sad story.
 Game Won In the First.
 Memphis really won the game in the first inning when Orth Collins hit one down the third base line that Grem- finger waited for, hoping it would ron foul It stayed in. the line and the runner was safe. going to second on Babb's sacrifice and counting on Gran stons two-bagger. Carey hit one that Pope messed up and on which he made a bum heave to Bliss. Cranston SCOT ing and Carey getting to third. Scoops scored on Donahue's fly to: Reagan. Jansen striking out.
 The two runs of the Climbers came in the third inning when Messett and Helm hit for two bags in rotation, Messett scoring and Helm getting to third on Reagan's foul fly to right field. Bliss was out on fly but Helm counted on Greminger's hit, Perry end- ing 1t with fly to Lansing, making the score to 2.
 From then on Memphis began to draw away. With two out, Cranston walked. got to third on Carey's hit to worked the double steal, Carey get ting to second and scoring on Dona- hutes hit, making it to ?.

 The above telegram received yester- day morning shows that President R, J.

A FEW FOUL TIPS

Cheer up.
 Who will be suspended?
 Birmingha am lost. Somehow that has been heard before.
 Mobile is coming. only six points be- hind Montgomery.
 Atlanta Is getting 1t hended to her pretty regularly. If ne gets the support Van Anda will win hts game today.
 Blue Eyed Billy Bartley landed again yesterday and put the Pelicans in fifth place, Nashville dropping to sixth.
 The clerk of the weather put the Giants in third place in the National League yesterday.
 Memphis goes to third place this morning, Mobile pushing Atlanta to the bottom of the first division.
 The plucky fight that the Climbers are making in the face of the odds against them is something that should receive the endorsement of every fan In Montgomery.
