MISTRIAL IN THE
 REYNOLDS CASE

The case of exPoliceman w. P. Rey- holds, charged with having murdered Juhn Mclean, Jr., a South Twentieth street furniture merchant several months ago. after being out for 66 hours, reported that 1t was hopelessly divided and mis- trial was ordered in the case.
 It was reported Friday night that the jury stood nine for conviction and three for acquittal. Evidently this\ division was never changed for after the jury was discharged yesterday morning 1t was re- ported that the last ballot taken in the jury room gave the same standing as that of Friday night.
 Just what move the defense will now make is not known, but 1t is stated that steps may be taken toward securing bail for Reynolds until the case is called again.
 The progress of the trial of William E. Bailey, charged with a capital of- fense, was delayed yesterday morning by the failure of witnesses to report. When court opened the case was continued un- til this morning. It is probable that 1t will require several days yet to com- plete the trial, 1t being stated that the case will not be concluded before Thurs day or Friday.

WITH THE SCRIBES.

By the way, Bill Dyer, for two years third baseman of Atlanta, is not playing ball this summer.
 Dyer had pneumonia during the win ter, and when spring came around was not able to play. He is now said to be stronger and wants to join some club. He is at his home in Worcester, but has been put on the suspended list by At lanta.
 Dyer was never sold or released, and for that reason is still the baseball prop erty of the Atlanta club owners accord ing to the laws of the game.-Atanta Journal.
 Atlanta papers are bowling about the game that Umpire Pfenninger called in the beginning of the fifth inning when the score was 1 to in favor of the Crackers. They claim to have been robbed of the game which is absurd, to say the least. But one of the Pelicans was out and no one can tell what might have happened. It Is true that the Birds played for rain. but every club does so in such cases-New Orleans Times Democrat.
 Atlanta was not hitting Maxwell at all, for three singles in nine innings are not calculated to get very many runs. Max well is in much better form than when last seen at Ponce de Leon. He had ev- erythng he wanted Friday and held his former teammates down from the first tap of the gong. Newton got two of the hits made for Atlanta and Rohn made the other.-Atlanta Journal
 Reports from Memphis state that Gran ston Is homesick and wanted to jump the team. Wouldn't be surprised If a number of the other players were dissatisfied. There is something more than hard luck the matter with the Turtles.-New Or leans Times Democrat.
 When it comes to good old pitching and noodle work, you have got to hand it to Otis Stockdale. The veteran is going fast d Mississippi cyclone now and the latter Is speedy if you haven't experienced one.-Mobile Register.
 q Robinson did much to prevent victory for the home folk. He struck out five of them and threw out eight others, who foored grounders in his direction. He also tagged Babb when Babb tried to dash home from third in the twelfth inning on Wheelers grounder, totaling 14 vic tims of 36 fin all. Gygli who helped himself to a single, double and triple his three-timer pushing in the Barons only run. was the receiving end of 20 funerals for emphians.-Menphis Com mercial-Appeal
 Gyglfs steal of third in the eighth was a sample of the ''I never sleep method. which might be pulled off more than once these days Hurlburt was un- prepared for the play and Gygli got his lead as Hurburt returned to Fritz In hastening. Fritz wasted any chance he had to stop the deal. and Gygli came on the wide heave.-Memphs Commer- cial-Appeal.

 The handicap committee has done it's work, and on the day of play every man will be equal in strength-as far as 1t Is possible to make them. This means that others than the best players stand excellent chances to win one or all the cups. It Is generally the heavily handi- capped man, as is remembered, who wins.
 There is considerable interest in the tournament and it Is expected that about 100 will endeavor to qualify in one or the other of the flights. It is probable, too. that before the week is concluded spectators will follow the leaders over the course.

Big Bill" Lelivelt, mainstay of the local pitching staff, and one of the best pitchers in the league, suffered sprain of the right ankle this afternoon that will put him out for the next ten days.
 While the teams were practicing this afternoon Lelivelt was trying to stop a ground ball and when 1t got away from him he threw out his foot to stop it, and, stepping on it's nose was thrown to the ground. This turned his ankle.
 He was given attention in the club house and the attending physician says that he will be able to play again in about a week or ten days.

The Hitting Figures.

Henline Is leading the Barons in hit ting at .291. Larsen follows with .271.
 Henline has scored 33 runs. This is in advance of all the Barons, easily, and ahead of all other players in the league
 Henline has made 57 hits This is more than any other Baron has made and ahead of all other players of the league
 Henlines bases total 6S. Dexter of New Orleans ties him in this department for the leadership of the league.
 McMurray, Atlantas catcher, has the league outclassed in the matter of sac rifice hitting. He leads with 24 Ellam leads the Barons with 1S, followed by McGilvray with Il.
 In stolen bases Gygli leads the league with r. Ellam follows with 16. Henline with IA is tied with Moran of Atlanta for third place.
 All in all, the Barons look like an aver age aggregation to date. Their hitting and other offensive operations seem as good an any other while their fielding is comparatively poor.
 When the fielding improves, therefore, they should get into faster company and remain there.

 While the comparative figures are not obtainable 1t is probable that in the field ing department of the game Birmingham is low
 Molesworth is leading the Baron out field and Molesworth follows Thornton, Wiseman, Daley, Seigle, Winters, Coul- son, Wagner, Kerwin and Bay.
 McGilvray Is second of the Barons and Henline is last. Henlines record In field ing Is lower than that of any other out fielder in the league.
 Raftis Is leading the third baseman is fielding by an easy margin.
 Bowen at second Is third. Jordan of At lanta and Cranston of Memphis being ahead of him. Gygli is low among the first basemen, Carey, Greminger, Sabrie, Rohn and Robertson being ahead of him.
 Of the regular shortstops Ellam is on the bottom. This is accounted for, how ever, in the facts that in the early days of the season he made many errors and continues to go after everything The same is also true concerning Gygi.
 Kane leads the Baron catchers. Those ahead of him, however, are many-Mc- Murray, shannon, Schriver, O'Leary, Hart and Seabaugh Raub and Kane are sep arated by Casey.
