WHAT OTHERS SAY.

'"The Bums' will receive warm well
 come when they arrive tomorrow, even
 though "Buttermilk' Meek and the other
 Baronic hoboes did make monkeys of
 Tom Fishers Mobile boys again yester- day.-New Orleans Picayune.
 The report that Otis Stockdale is to
 probably be reinstated by the directors
 of the Southern league at a meeting
 called to be held In Memphis on Saturday
 will be a source of pleasure to all who
 have kept up in any way with the case.
 Stockdale may have talked unwisely, but
 he has been made to suffer. He was
 sore over what he thought was bad treat
 ment, and was perhaps urged along in
 what he said by other players who were
 also sore, but too smart to get caught.
 The result was that when the time came
 for the drop to fall Stockdale was the
 only man caught, for others who had
 been hand in glove with him, if he cor
 rectly informed those with whom he
 talked, got out from under
 It will be simple act of justice to re- instate Stockdale, and the directors of the league will show themselves to be broad. liberal-minded men by doing so.-Atlanta Journal
 Perry has been a good man for the Montgomery club and deserves to go up, but according to the way baseball IS De- ing run throughout the country, 1t never has been customary to sell a man when that man has a chance of helping his club land a pennant. What howl there
 would be from Nashville if McEveen. Hunter. Daubert and Bay were permitted
 to go back to the big leagues at the
 present time. What a howl Memphis
 would put up if Cranston or Savidge
 should be turned loose now and Mont
 eomery's chances for any position are better than those of Memphis Montgom- cry Times.
 Baby Meek broke up the game. How did he do it? Home run in the ninth inning. with three men on bases. Why did he do 1t? Because they needed the game, having only won two of the two games previously played and because Becker was considerably left in the box long enough to fill up the bases for him, this was too good chance for the But termilk to work, to let 1t slip by. And after Hickman had put the next two men out, did the Barons manage ment leave the pitcher in the box that the boys had been hitting, in order that they might hit him some more and win out? They did not!
 This Is about the tenth time that nitcher has been left in till the game was lost, and then another substituted. Ihls isn't even good theory to say nothing of the way it works in practice. It seems to be easy enough to lose games with out throwing them away.--Mobile Item. "Give us little something occasional lv', was called from the stands to um- hire Wheeler dozens of times yesterday and Saturday. As I see 1t, the umpire isn't expected to give us anything ex- cept a square deal, and there isn't any doubt but that he was attempting to do that. He may have been off occasion ally. In fact, it looked several times as if he was Still, he was doubtless hon est. The best of them make mistakes just as the best of us make mistakes Tn our own lines of business.-Mobile Her aid.
