BASEBALL CHATTER.

Little Rock has at last reached the
summit
That Memphis team doesn't look like a
hopeless tailender.

After the Memphis series the Barons go
to Mobile and New Orleans.
Turning a double steal into a double

Bill Raftis will get in the game pretty
soon and things will begin picking up.
The knockers are growing at Memphis
and at Birmingham, too. Betting still rules
in Birmingham.
Paul Cobb looks little like Brother Ty-

player, however.
The Sleepers are getting theirs slowly
but surely. They will be down amongst
us pretty soon, never fear
Bauer and Manuel will probably work
the doubleheader for Birmingham. Babb
hasn't announced his battery.
Grant Schopp announced yesterday that
he is now in better condition than he
has been at any previous time this sea-
son.
Atlanta won that game from Little Rock
yesterday through foxy means. That
story of Winters getting hit with the
ball is getting old and tiresome.
Scoops Carey, first baseman, says that
things have broken exceedingly hard with
Memphis. 1t Is true that luck goes with
the team that plays the best ball

THE SPORTING OUTLOOK.
College Boat Racing and Several Prize
Fights.

Sporting interest this week will be di-
vided between the annual regatta of the
American Rowing association on the
Schuyllxill, in which crews representing
the leading eastern universities will par
ticipate, and the boxing bouts which
bring together Jack Johnson, the negro
heavyweight, and philadelphia jack
O'Brien, on the one hand. and Stanley
Ketchel, the middleweight champion, and
Hugh Mccain of Kansas on the other.
The races on the Schuyllkill promise to
be well attended both as to spectators
and participants. 1t is practically assured
that more than 80 crews will take the
water The entries include crews from
Harvard, Yale, Cornell, Pennsylvania,
New York university and Georgetown.
The matches in which johnson and
Ketchel will figure, the former at Phil
adelphia on Wednesday, and the latter
at Pittsburg tomorrow night will be
watched with more than ordinary inter
est owing to the fact that the two have
signed an agreement to face each other
next October in 2O-round battle for the
heavyweight championship of the world.
Other ring events this week are the
match between Jimmy Walsh and Digger
otdnley the English Ddlttiil, III LoHuou
on Monday before the Sporting club, and
a six-round bout between Johnny Coulon,
the Chicago bantam and Jack Phenicie
of Pennsylvania at Johnstown, Pa, on
Thursday.
In the horse racing field the New York
situation as regards oral betting almost
monopolizes the attention of the devotees
of that sport. The attendance at Bel
mont park on Thursday and Saturday of
last week was encouraging to the Jockey
club, but it is still problematical whether
or not racing will prosper on It's merits,
with bookmakng eliminated and all bet
ting done orally through those who have
been aptly styled memory brokers'"

It was a remarkable game.
In the first place the rain began with
the second and continued almost without
interruption throughout to the ninth in
ming
There were several splendid feats of
fielding and the pitchers did remarkably
well
It was a pitchers battle and both men
were loaded with honors when the frolic
was concluded. Dick was harder to hit,
but he yielded more bases on balls, and
in fielding his position Dickson figured
in the role of a splendid star.
The single feature of the game, how
ever, occurred in the sixth. 1t is prob
able that such another play has never
been pulled off
Have you ever seen two runners causht
attempting double steal?
You have seen one, no doubt score
of times But the oldest fan told me
Yesterday that the nabbing of both men
was the establishing of a new record.
Baerwald and Cranston, on second and
first. attempted the double steal. Rauo
threw Baerwald out to Morris and Nor
ris caught Cranston a block at second
OF course Cranston was a trife lazy
about leaving first but the Barons are
not responsible for that.
Dickson threw nine men out at first
The individual fielding honors go to him.
Memphis scored in the second. Coulson
opened with a double. Cobb sacrificed
him to third. o'Leary singled through
the infield.
The Barons scored in the second. With
one down ELAN singled between Baer-
valid and Lindsay, stole second, stole
third and scored on a hit of Norris to
Center Raub, who was on second when
the hit was made attempted TO score, but
was held at third by the coacher.
With one down in the ninth Cranston
and Coulson singled, the first going to
third Cobb hit to the pitcher, however,
and went out at first. O'Leary was
walked by wise Walter Dickson and Ca
rev failed to deliver. With two down
ELAN doubled in the ninth. Raub was
Intentionally passed and Bowen was I'M
able to get the ball out of the inheld.

MAKES TWO VAIN
ATTEMPTS TO DIE
SHOOTS HIMSELF AND LEAPS
INTO OCEAN
Both Times Rendered Unconscious
Taooman Is Saved from Death,
but Says He Will Yet
Succeed

SAN FRANCISCO, March 5.-Herbert
Eggert of Tacoma, who shot himself In
the head on the steamer Queen as that
vessel was entering this port on Feb
ruary 10 and who is just recovering
from the effect d his self-infiicted
wound, again attempted suicide by
jumping into the bay from the Broad
way wharf today.
He was seen to leap into the water
and was rescued, unconscious, but ir
no danger of death.
He still wears a bandage over his
wound, and chose for the scene of his
second attempt at self-destruction the
dock where he was taken from the
Queen apparently in a dying condition
less than month ago.
He is despondent over domestic trou-
bles and declares he will yet end his
life.
A sad circumstance in connection
with Eggerts determination to die Is
the fact that his father, Carl Eggert
who was with him on the steamer
when he fired the shot into his head
returned to Tacoma without waiting tt
learn the fate of his son and committed
suicide on February 15 by shooting
himself in a similar manner.

SAYS RULING WILL
NUlLIFY STATUTES
Court Declares II Is Not Conducted
to Prevent All Fools from
Parting with Their
Money

DENVER, Colo, March 5.-Judge
Robert E. Lewis, in the federal dis
trict court today, made ruling which.
according to United States District At
torney Thomas Ward, practically nulli-
fies the federal statutes under which
all cases of using the mails to defraud
are prosecuted, so far as the jurisdic-
tion of Judge Lewis extends.
The ruling was made in the case of
j. r. Manning, a mining man of Dem
yer, who was being tried on the charge
of using the mails to promote fraud
ulent mining scheme. The case was
thrown out of court.
Judge Lewis, in freeing Manning,
said: 'It is impossible for the govern
ment to prosecute all cases where q
man is exploiting mining property of a
questionable character.
'In this case the stock was being
sold at &c a share. The men who
bought must have known they were
not buying stock in a producing mine. -
Earlier in the case, Judge Lewis said:
"This court is not sitting on the bench
to keep all fools from being parted from
their money"
