Roaring Rip Reagan, who was In right field for the Barons, is not so bad himself with the stick, although he did not get cluster. He took one and got three putouts.-Atlanta Journel.
 Wake up. It's not Roaring" It's Steve.
 The Birds look good. Weak with the stick as the Philadelphia party said when through Memphis In March, but they can field and are sure fast on the bases, and if they just have about two more pitchers as reliable as Bartley they. will be rag contenders this season in a serious way.-Memphis News Scimitar.
 In establishing team work on his squad Manager Frank will have a try ing job He cannot afford to do much shifting in his batting order, positions, etc., and at the same time he might greatly improve the individual work of his men by doing so in many cases.
 The individual work of the Pelicans has been good enough so far, but team work has been bad. Through bad coaching and bad judgment the locals have shown poor form in base run ning.-New Orleans Item.
 lldlil anu Alldnld pldyeQ dn Thinning tie game yesterday, Clark and Johns both pitching great ball. Still Birmingham has not landed a game, but they worked hard for it yesterday. Poor Birmingham. Poor Roberts.-Montgome Journal.
 O, Horace, you are growing, are you not?
 That Pope certainly cut loose a great article of baseball. He smothered dan gerous looking drives and accepted as many more difficult ones; all in a man ner remindful of the days of Dan Low ney This season appears to be Pepes last one down south, if he holds the gait-Nashville Tennessean. Pfenninger either has defective eye sight or else he deliberately refused to see the coase blocking of Demont in the fifth inning of yesterdays game here.
 The umpire was right alongside of the play when 1t happened. He had nothing to do but keep his eye on the man who was trying to score. | The thing he didn't see was so dis l gustingly obvious. Demont just walk eo in front of the player, practically grabbing him and threw him clear of his stride and delayed him so per 1 ceptibly. that blind man could have l told that there was interference-At. | lanta Journal.
 The idea of so referring to our Gene | Two constructions can be placed | upon the result of Mondays game il Birmingham in which the Champs anc the Barons went for II innings witt l the score tied in a hard knot l iG he +f.1 | up stronger than they did in the thre, opening games against Montgomer, and the other is that Atlanta is not al strong as many have thought the clul l to be.
 The first construction is far nor pleasant and one that host of follow CTS of the game will place upon tn | affair."

 Encouraging, this.
 For a man of his inches, Gordo Hickman is seventh wonder in base ball. He possesses great speed an stamina. Little Rock fans remembe a victory In the past that require l3 innings of hard work.-Arkansa l Gazette
