"The trouble with me is that I won

'Um. Won enough to retire on

"Six months ago I made a bet of a

A FEW FOUL. TIPS

If certain p--eople in the Southern League have not been giving Mont gomery the hot end of 1t all this sta son it certainly looks that way The latNt is the East affair. Walter East had stated plainly that he wanted to come to Montgomery. He has a sis- ter living here and said that things would be more congenial all round. When it became known that Finn was going to sell him Ryan was given the tip at once and fired in telegram fol- lowed by a letter to Finn. Mike never even had the curtesy to answer either the letter or telegram, and while 1t is known fact that Ryan's bid for the player was the first one received by Finn the latter sold him to Bernhard of Nashville. Ryan asked Bernhard Saturday If there was any chance to buy East but the Nashville mogul told him that he nteded the player himself right now but intimated that he might turn him over to Ryan later. East Is a good infielder and that lo can sting the ball was shown by his work in the Nashville series when he did most of the hitting for Bernhard's people. He would hli in nicely here and make Rvan's mfeid pretty strong. Ryan stiI has hopes of landing DeMont, though he has not heard anything from him yet. DeMont is unquestionably one of the headiest inside ball players in the South and If he can be put on second. Perry on third and Greminger at first the local infield will be in a

NO CHANCE IN TEAM
BABB WILL GO THROUGH SEASON
 WITH PLAYERS.
Several of the Egyptians Are Wanted by Major Leagues But VIII Stay
 In Tennessee Town.

Memphis, Tenn, June 2s-(special.) Charley Babb the Memphis manager who with other officials of the club have been trying to find material with which to strengthen their forces for the crucial stages of the pennant race nave about abandoned the idea and VIII probably continue with the present list of players.
 A short stop or second baseman was wanted Although not generally ever heard from Mayor Joyner with whom the matter was taken up by the Memphis officials.
 Tom Reilly the hard hitting short stop of the Gulfport Cotton States League was next sought for. The To- cal club, it is believed, would have paid a handsome price for Reilly but Mana the negotiations for Reilly and the deal fell flat with Memphis fans be- lieving that after all Reilly may really be the property of New Orleans and not for sale" player.
 While the club officials have been on the lookout for players they have al- ready received offers from major lea que ent make up of the Memphii.
 More than $5.000 was spent for talent by Manager Babb beiore the present season started including moacy ex- pended in purchases and drafts. AL most tEis amount was aetted last sea son by the sale or draftings method of players that had performed here. Indications right now point to at least three members of the Mephii advancing for trials the coming fall or next spring. Big Bill Chcppells Ralph Say. idge and Billy Cranstcn are players sought by the majors right now and for whom negotiations nave already started.
 No Memphis player will be sold un- til after the pennant race is settled, ac- cording to Manager Babb. who declares that he Is not DoSSesged Of single soul but who Is the absolute property

campaign in the Philippine Islands The regiment returned to the States in May. 1900, and while in San Fran cisco, on the eve of obtaining his dis charge, Henderson had some trouble with Corporal Chase, which terminated in the death of the latter. Henderson stated that he shot Chase with Krag- Jorgensen rifle, in order to preserve his life, and that while he considers the deed perfectly justifabIe. is yet unable to outlive the memory of the tragedy.
 The happening. declared Henderson, created a great sensation, and was bruited abroad by the press of the country. For many days, he said, the tragedy was featured in the newspa- pers, and his trial was a matter of in- ted. and his action thus legally ap- proved.
 ohlcer Loe was an interested listen or as the prisoner with undoubted sin cerity chronicled. the sad happening which marred his lie, the more so be- cause he was himself a member of the same regiment to which Henderson al- legged that he belonged, and served in the Philippine Islands with him if his story be true. The officer seemed in- clined to believe Henderson's statement. but said that he had no distinct recol. lection of the tragedy.
 Henderson pleaded pitifuIly that he be permitted to leave Montgomery and go to his home near Tallassee. He said that he had not been there for years, but had been restlessly travelling around the country by beating his way. It Is probable that he will be released as soon as some investigation of the circumstances in his case can be made.

Haunted by Memory Of Man
 He Killed, He Drank to Forget

Having killed his corporal in self de- fense about eight years ago, J. c. Henderson, one time member of the 29th Regiment of the United States volunteers, Is ever narrowed by the nnemory-1of the tragic happening and seeks escape from cruel recollection in drink.
 Arrested yesterday morning by Om- cer Sweeney for drunkenness, the man, who was in a pitiable plight, unfold ed to one of the officers the reason of his indulgence, stating that haunting memories of an act, justifiable but aw- full, drove him at times almost to mad ness, and that in whiskey he sought forgetfulness Vd surcease from his troubles.
 Henderson was arrested at 1920 o'clock yesterday morning and placed in a cell at headquarters. He remained o'clock in the afternoon whert-a mani acal screaming in one of the cells led the officers in the building to think that a desperate fight was in progress.
 Odicer Loe bounded into the hall hav- ing connection with the cells holding his revolver ready for use and several of the other officers also hastened for ward prepared for a struggle. Inves- tigation revealed the fact that Hender- son was responsible for the uproar Tn a state of fearful frenzy he ragged up and down his cell, screaming wildly all the while. Finally quieted. he tremulous with excitement, his voice choked with tears, explained to Offlcer Loe the cause of his temporary mad ness. ,
 He served several years, he said, in Company c, 29th Regiment, U. S. v, and during that period engaged in a

 Coming. home. they took three straight from Nashville, making four wins, one tied and one lost of the six games played last week.
 Now they are in third place again, and fighting for tAsir heads--and just let Jimmy Ryan alone and he will have them up among the leaders in Septem- Der.
 Not quite half of the 14O games have been played yet. and at the rate the team is going now, 1t is going to take some pretty swift baseball to keep them out of the big end of the scores. fully, while with Thomas. Guese, Mo- Canerty and Murray, Ryan has a lot or rtght-handers that will make them all go sofne-that is if Murray shows he showed in Birmingham. Juul will have the left-handers of this league faded-not excepting Charlie Shields of Memphis. Never has a ball team been gotten together that was more con genial than this one, thoroughly gen. tlemanly bunch, that would be taken for college glee club.
 And play ball-every man of them has his heart and soul in the game, and whenever they lose it's cinch that it's combination known to up-to-date base ball. A lot of the fans were disposed to criticize Ryan and President Cham bers for the Baxter affair, but if they knew the true inwardness of that af- fair 1t would have been praised instead of knocks that they would have handed out.
