Haas, an entry of the University of Ala bama, and Shelton. an entry of the Young Mems Christian association, have been disqualified from participation in the field day trials in Birmingham Saturday.
 Haas"fs the individual who played such excellent basketball for Mobile last sea- son, and who was not registered as an amateur prior to February 25.
 Shelton was disqualified because it is charged that he is indebted to the Bir- mingham Athletic club for certain sum of money-a mere bagatelle-which obli- gation was incurred some time ago when he was member of the club.
 It is not known just what action Ala bama and the Young Mems Christian as- sociation will take in this matter. Haas is no doubt registered as an amateur

Frankie Neil Gets Decision.

Baltimore, May 4.-In the eleventh round of what was billed as a 15- round fight before the Eureka Athletic club tonight, Frankie Neil of California was given the decision, Young Britt being disqualified for wrestling. Britt threw Neil and was warned but al most immediately attempted to repeat the offense. Although Neil was man. ifestly in poor condition and let many opportunities slip. he did most of the fighting and had the better of the argument.

 (0mbete, NOY C0n Shelton

with the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic association, and as such he might raise the point that he is as much entitled to participate in the events as any other en- try of Alabama or Tennessee or Van derbilt.
 It is said that the Young Mems Christian association offers to settle Shelton's obli- gation to the Athletic club The Athletic club will contend, in case tiis course is pursued. that when the obligation is set aled, Shelton will be an entry of the club
 It's a peculiar proposition all the way round. Those interested In the field meet trust that no friction will result With out Haas, Alabama cannot compete in the high jumps, and the absence of Shel- ton will weaken the Young Mems Chris tian association considerably because he is an excellent all-round athlete.

BASEBALL CHATTER.

Manuel today.
 Cloudy in the eighth.
 Whitey turned over in the third.
 Rube Waddell finally got one across. Frank Smith was very easy yester- day. 1t seems.
 Chattanooga is easily leading the Sally" circuit.
 Manush got his third hit of the sea son yesterday.
 Hunter appeared for Brooklyn yes- terday and lost
 The Cubs dropped only five straights to Pittsburg on home grounds.
 Christie Mathewson was a long time appearing, and then got wallopped
 Whiteman is playing good ball for Montgomery. He hit well yesterday.
 Guese was "aIl in" before the game started. It is learned that he asked to be relieved of work.
 Daleys foot was swollen yesterday, and he could not play. He might get in this afternoon, however.
 Everyone got a hit but Larsen and Bauer. Larsen hit one to fair terri tory and was forced at second.
 Ellam shows more and more form every day. He will surprise the wise ones in this circuit yet, it is believed. 
 McGilvray took the honors with the stick, getting three out of four. Several others hit as hard as 300 or better
 Ellam hit a ball to right centerfield fence yesterday afternoon. At the be- ginning, 1t looked as if he had put it over.
 In the seventh, the hit of Kerwin over second gave Bowen an opportunity to make the prettiest play of the game.
 Let's get in and take the other two from Montgomery. The Sleepers are not hard to beat. Holler loud and scare them to death.
 Veazey left for Memphis last night. If he doesn't land there, he will accept 8 position with Helena of the Arkan- sas State league.
 Bauer stated after the game that he had nothing, no speed, curve, nor con trol. He did not expect to work, and pitched half an hour in the morning in practice.
 Molesworth's protest was very gen. tie yesterday. But probably Dan had done enough to lose his temper. It's all over. anyway. But that third strike on Larsen was awful.
 Tommy Raub's first hit scored Gygll, his second time at bat resulted in drive that scored Gygli, and his third hit came with man on second, but was almost too short to score him. That's hitting in a pinch, all right.
 Some nice running in the first. Hen line was scored from second by Gygli, and Gygli went to second on the throw; Raub's hit scored Gygli and Raub went to second. Bowen hit what was called foul, and Raub scored Just little neat sprinting, that's all.
 Pope in pinch struck out. On two other occasions, with men on second and third he hit to third and got to fnst-but other men went out at third The strange part about it was that Pope took such careful aim to hit to third.
 
 In the fourth, with two down. and with men on third and second. McGil- vray hit to Rockenfield Rock enfield took his time, and McGilvray by sliding, was safe, allowing Molesworth and Henline to score. Had 1t been close game, this play would probably have decided it. It pays to run 'em out, all of them.

WITH THE SCRIBEs.

It was a somewhat saddenins spectacle to the more sedate enthusiasts present, though Brit seemed to be all to the good up to the ninth inning. The weather was too chilly to permit the old twirler to show his best form, and it looked as though Manager Frank made a serious mistake pitching him.
 On the other hand, the Birmingham ar gregation, way down in the standing. were not supposed to be any too strong. Brett had been resting at home while the other Birds were at Memphis, too and was confident of being able to hurl a vic- tory.
 Manager Carlton Molesworth's team is a fast and hitful one, though. They out batted and outfelded us yesterday. Kane, the young catcher, who is making his debut into the Southern league with the slagpile people, showed oodles of class, and so did the entirely new infield Sec ond Baseman Bowen and Shortstop Ellam especially starring with their fancy stick work, besides fielding to perfection. In the outfeld were seen Manager Gladys" Noah Henline, both of them chipper, stockily built veterans, and McGilvray, new man, who is charged with the visitors only error, but whose base rum ming was excellent for big fellow.-New Orleans Picayune.
 Without meaning the least reflection on Messrs. DeBald, Manush and Pepe that exhibition in the second inning Sat urday, when Moves knocked high in- field fly that could have been gotten by any of the players, was the poorest ever seen in Montgomery. The ball was primarily DeBalds, but he made no att tempt to get it, urging Manush on. AS consequence, all three players stood by with hands folded, watched the ball de- seend and Moves get safe.

MEMPHIS DROPS ANOTHER.
Ninth Inning Rally Gave Mobile the
 Victory.

Memphis, May 4.-The final inning brought about another defeat for the local team today. Up to this inning Memphis had the advantage of the only tally of the game. But in this inning Mobile punched four hits and scored enough runs to win. It was the three base hit of Hardy, substituted for Petit, that scored Benson with the win ming run. Until the ninth inning pitching honors were about even.

They pounded MT. Guese to a pulp yesterday afternoon, and after the third inning the big fellow threw up the sponge, and would have rejoiced had the sun set.
 The final score was to 3.
 Bauer was "Whitey's" opponent and while the Baron had all the best of the argument he did not pitch a Jam up article.
 He managed to keep his seven hits fairly well scattered, but was exceed ingly lavish in punching his passes to first and in planting the spheroid in the sides of opposing batsmen.
 Although Birmingham had a lead as long as from here to Bessemer. it looked squally in the eighth, when with one out and the bases full, Bauer was painfully failing to cut even a corner of the plate. But good fortune smiled and when Hub" Hart failed to exert himself in running to second on a forced play, it was all off with our neighbors, the "Sleepers."
 MolesWorth Benched.
 Danny Pfenninger was so exceeding ly honest, too, that he made so many mistakes that lack of space prevents their tabulation. We can say this much for Pfenninger, however, he was as much the enemy of Birmingham as he was of Montgomery The limit was reached in the ninth inning when he struck Larsen out on ball that touched the earth as 1t trailed along. Molesworth suggested to Danny that he refrain from making a burlesque matinee of the afternoons frolic, and Dan retorted by sending the hefty manager back to the bench. Moles- willing to return to the bench, but strenuously insisted that the game was serious proposition. Then Danny as sumed the role of the villain of the play and Molesworth was put out of the game. Moxie Manuel succeeded him, however, and worked a base on balls. Henline was walked too, and when McGilvray swatted one safely to center the first named raced home
 With one down in the first, Persons and Whiteman singled in succession and when the second hit got away from Molesworth. the first runner scored. But Birmingham evened up with interest in its half of the same inning. Henline Gyglf and Raub smashed safely in this half and two were scored. In the third walk, and hits by Whiteman and Greminger scored Persons, and should have scored Whiteman but for over cautious efforts of the coacher Birmingham got three in the third, however, and the game was won. The three were the results of doubles by Molesworth and Gygi, single by Bowen, sacrifice by Raub, a base on balls, and wild pitch by Guese.
