Wright, the challenger, in straight sets. the scores being 6-1, 6-2. S-6. The final match of the all-comers national tournament brought out another great gallery that filled every available foot of standing room In the great stands and all about the championship court.

 New Orleans. August So.-(special)- In one of the best games seen here in many moons, with only one error com mitted by any player, New Orleans shut out Birmingham. 1 to 0.
 Jack Mannings accident in the first inning was bad feature of the fracas snd froze little enthusiasm. the likely lad having to be carried off the field on a stretcher in consequence of hav- ing severely sprained his ankle recov- ering second base.
 Ginger Clark pitched the Pelicans further ahead of Nashville yesterday, Memphis holding the Volunteers to a tie score. having scared away the hoo doc that has generally played havoc with the home team on a Sunday. j "Fingy' Ford, the Baron pitch CT and kid brother of the mighty Russell" passed Manning when the locals began coming to bat following the visitors unsuccessful attempts at getting on in the first section of the first. Manning took second on a wild pitch, but while Rickert was busily engaged in whiting. Jack took a long lead and In his scram- ble to regain second when Ford almost succeeded in catching him mapping the tendons of his left ankle were twisted and turned, necessitating his swift re- tirement to the hospital. Breitenstein took his place.
 Ford was in fine fettle and the score board bore a blank look until the lucky seventh rolled round. After Dundon had rolled out, Mil stung a clean hit to right Huber hit through short, and Breitenstein nearly broke a bat ping ling to left, and Mill scored on Hen- lines bad throw, Clark having made ii two out by flaming just before Nill'f run was enough, Rickert forcing Brett enstein at second with the closing oi the cheerful chapter.
 Acting Manager Douglas did not have Duplaine working yesterday Baur played centerfeld and Douglas put Meek into the game in his own position, preferring to enjoy the sport from the bench, which he did not.
 The only period in which the visitors looked dangerous was in the fifth, when, after two were out, Carlos Smith smote the leather on the seam, sesl- ing 1t to the tall uncut while te HOOK two bases. He then stole third, but Walters skied to right.

 A year ago the commission had in mind the adoption of a rule to provide for the promulgation of a bulletin to be issued at least five days before the drafting sea- son commenced, showing the list of all players purchased since the closing Of the last drafting season. For some reason the adoption of this rule was overlooked. A number of inquiries from various ma for clubs had been received pertaining to this list and for this reason the com mission today gave out the following list of purchased players:

 That home run of Meek's had such a deleterous effect upon one of the most faithful fans that it made him sick, and he failed to show up in his accustomed seat yesterday afternoon. It's the first game he's missed this season, and he surely was missed by the bunch. Don't fail to come down tomorrow, Charlie.- Mobile Register.

 The biggest joke of the season is the way in which several papers round the circuit have swallowed the bait about Mike Finn refusing $750O for Speaker be- cause he had promised him to Boston. Triss Speaker is farm hand of Boston's. to be turned back to them at the end of the Southern league season, and he could not sell him anywhere else if he wanted to.

 If Ed Hurlburt Is with Nashville as reported, then Bernhard has 16 men, un- less he suspends Jack Hardy, who is on the hospital list If Montgomery gets over the limit 1t takes but few moments for the whole western push to yelp 1t out. It was in Memphis that Jimmy Ryan was dumped because he had sev- eral men on the hospital list. It will be interesting to watch what Babb does about the Nashville case today.-Mont- gomery Advertiser.
 Bernhard's a smarter man than Ryan. This is the reason, Wallace.
 Hardy returned home last night. "Scrappy Jack" is walking around and it may be he will recover in short while and get back in the game. If he does not round to all right big Ed Hurlburt will be called into service to help the Volunteers out the rest of this season. sHurlbuIt is now in Memphis. where he is in business. The big fellow played with Atlanta the first part of this season, and he quit the "Champs'' to attend to his business interests. He has been keeping himself in good trim, however, and if Bernhard needs him he is ready to jump right in and work.
 Hardy says: We are going to win that pennant All the boys are in the best of spirits and are putting every effort into the game. They are playing together like clock work and the pitchers are going fine again There is nothing that can head the Volunteers. They will hand that New Orleans crowd something when they reach there "-Nashville Banner.
