PHILADELPHIA BUYS
 SHORTSTOP BILL CRANSTO

Memphis, July 22.-Bill Cranston, short stop of the local Southern league club, has been sold to the Philadelphia Amer ican league club. The purchase price IS said to have been s35Oo, though it is not authentic.
 Connie Mack, manager of the Athletics, as the Philadelphia club is known, has had his eye on the local lad for several weeks. His scout, Al Mahl, veteran pitch CT, came through Memphis some time ago and, looking the lads over, decided that Will was the lad with the real goods. Charley Ebbetts, president of the Brook lyn National league club, was also after Cranstop, but Mack bid higher, and ne, of course. landed him.
 Cranston was drafted from syracuse, New York State league in 1907, and brought down this spring to play second base. When Otto vogel shortstop in the early campaign, failed to make good, Cranstcn Was switched to short field and Harry Redmond brought from Vicksburg and placed at second.

FANS TO THE RESCUE
 IN THE SOUTH ATLANTIC

Jacksonville, Fla, July 27.-For several days there has been talk of the Sally league going to pieces, but the outlook is much brighter. Augusta and Columbia seem to have been hit harder than any others. Light attendance at the games and the heavy expense of maintaining the teams began to tell on the club owners
 Now the fans In these two cities have come to the aid of the management and at Augusta a sum of $1500 was raised to keep the team in the field until the close of the season. The runaway race for the pennant by the Scout team and the many other hindrances to the game have made this the hardest year in the history of the league
 Present indications, however, point to stronger organization next year and an eight-club league is not improbable. Just what cities will take the other two berths is not definitely known, but several are already asking for admittance.

he stole second. Molesworth then un- oorked 9 magnificent drive to center, and the fieet-footed third saeker scored. In inc sixth, Raub singled, but did not get to second. In the seventh, three went out in succession, and in the eighth the Barons. filling the bases. were retired without 1 run. Robertaille was safe when Benson dropped his infield fly. Moesworth got his third hit of the game, and Downey beat out bunt 10 third. Carlos Smith, however, flied easily to first and Raub hit into a double play. Becker at this t,me was performing in magnificent fash ion.
 Smiths Neat Stunt.
 The feature of the second game occurred in the second inning. Sentel first up, hit seenly to right, and was thrown out at first by Carlos Smith, The hit was clean. Sentel is a fast man. It was necessary. therefore for Smith to field the ball per fectly. throw rapidly and accurately. It is barely possible that sentell loafed, but at any rate he was thrown out by yard. Later on in the game. another ball WAS hit to Smith under similar circumstances. Smith was so anxious to throw the run Ter out that he booted the ball and all lowed a man to score from second But, at any rate. he got sentell.
 In the second inning, after two were down. McIver was walked. He stole sec ond and scored when James bingled safe ly to right. The bingle was short and had Smith fielded it perfectly, McIver would not have scored.
 After the second. Ford had easy sail Ing until the sixth. Then came Ford's undoing. Fisher lined to Walters, and Lew made a circus, one-handed catch Thornton hit safely however, and stole second. Benson bingled and Thornton went to third, from which bag he scored when Daley flied out to Molesworth Sem tell followed with double. scoring Ben son. In attempting to head Sentell steal ing third, E ord threw wildly and the run her registered. sabrie hit safely over hird, but was thrown out attempting to go to second. In the seventh, eighth ani .iinth, Ford pitched without trouble.
 Fishers Great Support.
 The Barons hit Fisher freely, but on ac- count of the star support received by the Mobile manager. he was seldom in danger. In the sixth, the Barons made 1t so warm for the red topped individual that he had Hickman warm up to relieve him. But just as danger became oppressive, 1hornton made two wonderful stabs and pulled his manager out of danger. How e, CT, in the sixth, the Barons managed to score.
 Molesworth flied out to Thornton, the centerfielder making a wonderful catch. Downey hit safely to left, but was forced at second by Carlos Smith. Meek and Douglass singled shortly in succession, and with the bases full, Walters was walked. scoring Smith Then Henline hit between first and second, and Sabrie handling the drive with a s.>gle hand, threw Walters out at second, retiring the side.
 And thus the frolic of the afternoon came to an end.

BY BILL AK.

The Sea Gulls of Mobile, whatever their faults might De, certainly appfe- ciate the fact that it is Red Iela yisher who keeps their bread buttered'
 That being the case, it is unneees- Sary to state that the support give Fisher in the second game of yester- days double-header was not only eN- cellent, but sensational in the eN. treme.
 Had it been otherwise the Barons would have won both ends of tie double -header. in spite of the one mis erable inning that fell to the lot ct Gene Ford before the second engage ment went into history.
 For Fisher had his troubles beyond doubt. The Barons hit him exceeding ly hard. and but for the marvellous per formances of Center Fielder Thornton Left Fielder Daley. First Baseman sabrie and others, they would haze easily overtaken the healthy lead that the Gulls had gained.

Some Brilliant Work.

But at that the exhibitions We D thoroughly up-to-date, both being full of those features which please the fans and both being played in fast time. The first was an exceptionally fine pitchers battle between Chick" Robertaille ard Kitty Becker, the former winning with comparative ease although tfa score was small. and his opponent per- formed splendidly. The Gulls managed to glean but a trio of bingles off Rob- ertaille, and but once threatened to score. On the other hand, while the Barons had more opportunities, in all the plnches. with single exception. Becker rallied to the standard, anf successfully defed all corners.
 Perhaps 2O00 people witnessed the games. The fans were enthusiastic and gave the Barons the good support ot their lungs. There was a pleasurab' absence of the knocking that charac- terized Tuesdays game. and the Bar ons performed with a goodly amou of ginger and energy
 Several brilliant plays featured the games. In the first, Daley pulled off two wonderful catches, one from the stick of Tommy Raub, and the other smashed by Larsen. In the second a ne-handed stab of a line hit placed Lew Walters in the limelight, and Thornton, taking one off the fence smashed there by Lew Walters ani picking another just off the ground be
