needed to tie the score. what should have been ordered?
 The "hit and run" would have worked finely. As soon as Fritz raised his arm Bowen should have started home and Molesworth to second. By the time Raf- tis struck the ball Bowen would have scored and Molesworth would have been on second. And it is possible that Raftis hit would have gone safe with either the shortstop or the second baseman run ming to cover second Then when Raub singled to center Molesworth could have scored the tying run. With the ball thrown to the plate to catch the manager Raub could have easily gone to second Then the score would have been tied with one out and man on the keystone.
 But there is no use grieving over split milk. We have simply got to get to hustling. The team must be taught scientific baseball and some hitters must be brought to town.
 The team, as individuals, is doing fair ly we'll McGilvray, Henline, Raftis and Gygli are hitting, and Molesworths daily improvement indicates that he. too, will soon be among the average swatters. Ellam and Bowen are below the 200 mark, in Kane Raub is hitting fairly well.
 And the pitchers are going finely.
 We have a long way to go yet. The team must keep it's nerve steady and keep grinding away. It Is still quite possible that a first division berth may be oc- cupied. At any rate. 1t is by far too early to cast the sponge into the arena. Let's keep on fighting. There is no chance for the man who gives up to win a victory
 Cleveland it is said, wins more games

MILD SENSATION
 IN COMPANY H

Alexander City, June 21.-(Special) "A mild sensation has just been brought to light in the military circles of Company H, Alexander City Rifles, and there may be an official investigation demanded.
 In the recent election of commits stoned officers of the company it is said all things ran smoothly until the office of second lieutenant was to be voted on for which honor Second Sergeant R. HI. Lightfoot and First Sergeant Jesse B. Smith were aspiring.
 On the first ballot, in which 1t is al- legged that Capt. N. s. Walker had voted, the count stood 25 for Lightfoot and 25 for Smith Then Captain Walker, as commanding officer of the company, claimed the right to unite the vote and cast his vote for Lightfoot and then de- clared him elected
 Now the important question which the friends of MT. Smith desire to be settled Is this: Can the commanding officer, once having votS-l in the sealed ballot, vote again as captain and legally unite the vote?

on the road than it does at home. Elmer Bates. sporting editor of the Cleveland Press. publishes the following as a reason suggested by fan:
 why is it, Little Old Man. that many of the Maps play better ball when they are on the road than they do at home, unless it is that when they are travelling about the country they are probably bet ter fed than they are when they are paying their own expenses in some Cleve- land boarding house?
 q recently heard one of the Maps boast that he got his meals when he was in Cleveland for 20 cents apiece. To feed that same player when he is on the road costs the club close to s1 for each meal
 Tt goes without saying that a $1 meal supplies an athlete with a good deal more nourishment than does a Decent meal That, I think, is why some of the ball players do so much better work when the club is out on the road
 My argument is that the Cleveland club owners would find it a good invest ment to pay the expenses of their play CTS when they are at home as well as when they are travelling"
 Mobile continues to win and Atlanta continues to lose. The Crackers seem on the toboggan. The Barons by the way, turned their sixth consecutive de- feat yesterday. This is going some" Sehopp will twirl for the Barons this aft ernoon. Grant will pitch we'll as all the others are doing, but whether he wins or not Is another question.
 At any rate, we are pulling for him. We want the Barons to win all the time and Grant Schopp deserves some little success.

BY BILL AK.

Memphis June Special. )-The bronze heroes of a thousand defeats dropped another this afternoon. and the poor, old bedraggled Memphii eopped the victory.
 (No, dear fan, I do not believe that Babb's team will ever catch the Bar ons this season. But my! the race is beautifully
 The score was 3 to ?.
 Have you noticed how many games the Barons have lost this season by one run margin? At least 200. It is not hard luck to lose a big bunch of games by any score. It is rotten playing which brings defeat after defeat by even a single tally. The close games, all of which have been beatings, indicate to my mind a nervousness that is fatal. Have you noticed that the errors occur when the crises come?
 Well, Robinson pitched well today. Fritz, too. The twirling. as whole, was about on a par.
 And errors had much to do with the result. One of the Baron runs re- suited from a miscue by Babb who threw badly when Bowen scored first. Two of the Memphii runs were fathered by errors. Bowen threw badly to the plate once-though Raub should have caught the oakland another time Rob- inson threw badly to second.
 The other run of the Memphii came as a result of the old sucker play. Raub threw to second, while a man from third scored.
 Had the Barons used their heads in the ninth the day might have been saved. Bowen opened with a double Molesworths hit sent him to third. Raftis smashed into a double play, Bowen scoring. Raub singled and went out stealing second. It was sad aft ernoon as far as the Barons are con- cerned. Less than 1000 people wit messed the fight. The Memphis aggre- gation, though shoulder deep in the cellar, played with better spirit than did the Barons. They played better ball, too, and deserved to win. O'Brien and Fitzsimmons are umpiring this series. It looks bad for Birmingham.
 Memphis, June 21.-Opportune hitting and snappy base running won for Mem- phis today in exciting contest with Birmingham. First the visitors scored in the fourth inning, Bowen reaching home on Babb's bad throw to the plate. In the same inning Memphis went them one better, Cranston scoring on a poor throw by Bowen and Daubert crossing the plate in a double steal In the seventh Mem- phis added another. Wheeler singled was sacrificed to third and scored on a hit by Fritz. A ninth inning rally brought about another run for the visitors, Bowen hit ting for two bags, advancing on Moles- worth's single and scoring at the end of do1lble play Score.

We are up against 1t. There is no doubt of that. We are losing daily. The team is playing with little spirit, and the fans at home are disconsolate. We are down in the race, and it looks dark ahead There is no use denying the facts as they exist
 Manager Molesworth has evidently made certain mistakes this season. He is not near as strong as he thought he was. He announced himself satisfied with his team. and on several occasions when ad- ditional strength was offered, stated that it was not needed.
 It was an honest mistake, of course, but a mistake nevertheless.
 But we must not give up. The fight is just begun. Manager Molesworth should get busy in search for some men who can sting the ball In addition, he should begin inculcating team work.
 Yesterday for instance, we might have won that game from Memphis in the ninth inning. Bowen opened with a double. Molesworth singled shortly, sending the little second-sacker to third. Then came Bill Raftis to the plate He hit to short. No attempt was made to retire Bowen at the plate because one additional run did not endanger the general result. But Molesworth was retired at second, and Raftis doubled at first. Then Birming- ham needed one run to tie the score. Two were out and no one was on bases. Raub singled, but went out immediately there after attempting to steal second.
 Now, with a man on third and a man on first with none out, and two runs
