STATE GOLF TOURNAMENT.
Montgomery Working to That End
 AIabama's Many Players.

Montgomery is preparing for a state golf tournament and has written R. H. Baugh, secretary of the Southern Golf association, endeavoring to obtain from the association a sanction for the meet.
 That the sanction will be secured goes without saying, and it Is very probable that the state championship tournament will occur.
 The proposed date Is July S-10.
 Birmingham would send to the meet about 25 of the best golfers of the state. Mobile has fine golf colony headed by Col. Robert Hunter. There are several fine performers In Montgomery, and it Is claimed that Montgomery has a mag nifcent course Several splendid players live in Anniston, too.
 Several local golfers discussed the Mont gomery meet yesterday and expressed a desire that it be arranged. George Oliver, runner-up in the recent championship clash at Memphis, intends capturing the state championship, and will, no doubt, be the favorite at the meet.
 Memphis papers are endeavoring to ar range a golf tournament between 25 Mem phis and 25 New Orleans players to take place at the Country club of this city. Nothing of an official nature has as yet reached local golf headquarters.

Question Answered.

The following query from H. D. Shel- ton, manager of the Louisville and Nash vile team of the City league, has been received: "Is batter out when he steps from one box to the other when the pitcher is out of his position?"
 A batter has the right to stand on either the right or left hand side of the plate, and he may begin batting on one side and conclude on the other.

 Becoming We'll Bunched

From Birmingham to Nashville the race Is a pretty one. with the seven teams fairly well punched
 At this time last season Nashville was in seventh place and Birmingham was on the bottom. which position is now held so firmly by our friends, the Turtles.
 The fact that Nashville was seventh in the standing last June does not neces- sarily mean that Birmingham will fly the rag this year. but it does mean that the opportunity to get in the thick of the fight Is ever present, and serves to illus trate the vast number of changes that an aggregation can make in the course of several months.
 But the Barons are not winning as rap Idly as some of us at home would like
 It was hoped that they would take the double-header from Little Rock and the first game from Mobile
 In both there was disappointment and the fact still remains that the Barons are 5OO and no better while on the home lot
 More games at home must be won if the first division is ever penetrated.
 We cannot win today and lose tomorrow at west End and trust to good road rec ords to put us in fast company.
 We have simply got to settle down, work out the kinks, play a bit smoother and pray for the smiles of fortune.
 It seems that Little Rock and Nash vile have it on the other teams of the Southern league, or the teams which have appeared in Birmingham
 Little Rock plays a more brilliant game than Nashville, but Nashville's nerve seems to be better. Nashville will some times snatch a victory from defeat. Lit tie Rock, on the contrary, seems to settle down to it's fate when the clouds begin to gather.
 This would indicate another pennant year for Nashville. For the game, per severing man is more often the winner than he whose brilliance astounds for the moment-lil1e the flashing of the meteor in the night.

Mack knows the weakness of every old batter in the league On the first trip around the circuit each season he makes it a point to become acquainted with the weakness at bat of all the new players. He quizzes this fan, that one and the other fellow until he gets a fairly good line on the new ones. When Connie sees them in action just once he doesn't have to ask any questions. That's his way.
 The first thing Mack does after arriv- ing in a town is to call a meeting of his players and go over the lines of battle that will be followed in the games with the opposing team. He uses one system of attack and defense against the St. Louis Browns, a different one against the Tigers and still another against the Maps. It is doubtful If he uses the same at- tack or defense against any two teams.
 Connie tells his men just how the other fellows will play when various situa- the lookout for practically everything the opposition may have in It's playing vocab- ulary. If the Athletics win the series it is because of the astuteness of their manager. If they lose it is owing to a dunderhead play or two by his own men.
 Mack is a resourceful crtter. He likes to win and always aims to have a win ming team Back in 1902 when he lost Laioie, Bernhard and Flick, Mack didn't close his hands and bemoan his fate. He knew there was no use crying over spilled milk. As stated before, he is a man who does things. He secured Danny Murphy to take Lajoie's place at sec ond Danny biffed the horsehide for six hits, including a home run. in his first game an Athletic, and he has been hitting the ball hard ever since.
 Just because Mack lost a couple of stars was no reason why he should quit cold He knew that with little hard work he might win the pennant. That's what he did-worked hard. The Athlet- les won the pennant They won their second flag in 1905. They may win in 1909 Connie says he won't know until near the finish, as his men will fight hard right up to the last. That's the Mack

 We were soon hacked, eowed, brow beaten, ragged and dilapidated.
 And Memphis Is such today.

 Stockdale, too, is pitching finely this year, and Is as hard to beat as he al- ways was. Dick and Johns fought fine battle in Atlanta yesterday, but of course Dick lost He couldn't do otherwise and pitch for Memphis,
 Maxwell. the Atlanta castoff, defeated Bill Viebahn in Nashville yesterday. Bill had the game sewed up until the ninth. Then the score was tied. Every one knows what happens to Bill when the tight places come.
 No news as yet from Cincinnati. It is time that Robinson was packing his col lars. The youngster is badly needed. all though the twirlers are going nicer than at any previous time this season.
 Rudderham made his first appearance for the season in Birmingham yesterday and elicited groans from the audience.

WITH THE sCRIBES.

Reports are going around that if Babb does not do something with the Turtles. this year that it will be his last with Memphis.-New Orleans Times Democrat
 The Montgomery official scorer needs to brush up on the baseball rules. In Saturdays game Huelsman drove out two flies, one of which advanced a run ner to third and the other scored Rohe and still he was not given credit for two sacrifice flies A sacrifice fly Is the same as sacrifice hit in that the batter Is not credited with a time at bat.-New Or leans Times-Democrat.
 What do you think of the above?
 A letter from Pitcher Torrey from his home in Mississippi says he is getting along fine and hopes to be in Mobile soon. He is grateful for the kind treat ment accorded him by the Mobile Base- ball association, too. "Old Liz" has a host of well wishers in Gulltown. In fact, everybody likes him and no pitcher held a firmer hold upon the fans heart strings than he. Liz was the happiest man on earth when his former teammates wiped up the earth with New Orleans in the last Sunday game at Pelican park.-Mo- bile Register
 If you can't boost, don't knock. That's the policy of the News Scimitar p pretty nearly everything and it's certainly yours truly's policy when it comes to sports. Take the case of the Turtles. Here's a team that looked all over a winner, en- countered handicap after handicap and IS now down in rut that's going to be hard to climb out Of You can't have any idea how many of those who stood by the team last year have suggested knocking-have said, Wonder why you don't take crack at those dubs?" But what's the use. Knocking would only tend to further discourage the boys Stick with them and they may rally yet and hit winning streak-play real baseball, and play it right.
