phis uniform? Nothing definite in that yet-may not panout, but Babb is proceed ing on the assumption that Finn will sell any player if given his price. Witness Beals Becker, 300 batter, sold in mid season last year to the Boston Nationals.

 Mike generally runs into his great est hard luck here. It was in Sulphur Dell last season tha his club was broken up and started downward, and the team has been badly jolted through Tarleton's accident this campaign.

Bill Is always hard to beat. and Kelum will have to hustle to turn the trick today-Nashvlle Tennessean.

 The latest hard luck tale is one in real ity Ten times the Turtles planted clean cut, simon-pure, crystalized singles, but ten times did the swat seed fail to take root Once Fleharty, who sent his fool ish-looking side-arm benders for the in- spection of the luckless home guard grew careless and complimented a runner with a pass trip, but this display of reckless ness was not converted into a count, and the nine rounds were finished in run less escapade for ours.

 I,eliyelt is one of the best twirlers ever seen operating in Montgomery. To be true. yesterdays appearance was his first in Montgomery, but he has the looks about him of a steady goer. The game yesterday was his, pre-eminently, from start to finish.-Montgomery Journal
 It begins to look as if the White Sox castoffs on the Pelican roster have about finished their usefulness with the locals. There is no getting around the fact that neither Rohe nor Dundon is playing the game as they have played it. Neither one is hitting to any extent, and their fielding has been anything but perfect.
 Harry Matthews has slumped fearfully in his batting this year. As conse- uuence Shriver is doing most of the back stopping. And Shriver is hitting well, being right up next to Dexter.-New Or leans Times-Democrat.
