cation between Oakes and McGraw.- Cincinnati Times-Star

Harold Lanigan, the St. Louis Times sporting editor, who was here with the Cardinals, has been sizing up the teams of the two big leagues all season over in the Mound City and he brings tid- ings of the superiority of the old cir cult
 "The National has stars galore, and they're playing a class of baseball far in advance of anything that ever hap pened on the old circuit," remarks Lanigan. "On the other hand, the Amer ican Is decidedly shy on high-class ma terial-so shy, in fact, that when real ball player like Ty Cobb or Jimmy Austin or one of those fellows comes along. the followers of the game let the rest of the bunch sink away into oblivion and devote all their attention to the individual.
 That sort of thing doesn't happen at National league games. for the simple reason that every team has sufficient number of classy men to keep up inter- est in the nine as who Some years ago the American was all to the peaches and cream with talent; but that doesn't go now. The old National certainly has the other fellows on the hip"

5ARoNS' SPiT8ALL ARTIST WILL PITCH FOR SHREvEPoRT-RoR- INsoN IN FINE CONDITION AND WILL WORK SATURDAY.

Mccain Robinson, the native Alabamian who pitched phenomenal ball in the South ern league last season, and who was sold to Cincinnati, returned to Birmingham yesterday morning at 10 o'clock and was given warm reception by the players and the fans
 As is remembered, Birmingham, after getting Robinson from Jackson Miss, sent him to the slab one afternoon as a kind of forlorn hope. He startled every one then hy shutting out the Pelicans to- O. In four succeeding games he pitched the Barons to victory, and in each scored a shut-out. In the fifth he sprained his foot as he slid to the plate with the winning run of game in which Dr. Thomas of Montgomery owned master, and thereafter he was never as successful as when he first appeared. However, he finished the season with more victories than defeats, and this rec ord is very good when 1t is remembered that the Barons were trailing in Dixie last year
 If Robinson has returned to Birming- ham as good as he was when he Joined
 
 Is now 20 per cent stronger than he was day before yesterday. Robinson is ex- ceedingly fast on his feet, can bunt and beat it out, is a deer in the outfield, and is very much a pitcher In addition. he is very clever man personally and is pop ular. He has just completed a medical course at Tulane, and has his diploma with him. Prior to playing professional baseball lie attended Howard college and starred in tine athletics of that institu- tion. He has been in Cincinnati for two weeks and has done considerable working out. Manager Griffith, however, did not see fit to give him q trial, and Birming- ham recovered him without standing a. chance of losing.
 Manager Molesworth will probably send the young pitcher to the slab Saturday afternoon.
 When Robinson is signed someone will have to oe released. Il is probable that Lou Bauer will be disposed of Waivers have heen asked on him, and no one has declined to waive. Arrangements have been made with Shreveport of the Texas league. where so many other old Bir- mingham players are located this season, and Bauer will probably star in that conn pany. Next season he will be in Bir- mingham again.
 Bauer has a spitbsll that is good one. When he is right he cannot be located. He has lost considerably more games than he has won in the Southern league but he has received very few bad defeats Bauer possesses the stuff out of which good pitchers arc made, and it is believed that another year in slower company VIII equip him fer this and higher circles.

Brooklyn Protest pisaIlowed.

New York, June 2.-John Heydler, act ing president of the National league, to- day handed down his decision on the pro- tested Brooklyn Pittsburg game of May 15 which was won by Pittsburg, to 5.

The Brooklyn club claimed that Miller, who made the tally, had not passed second when the wild throw was made, but the testimony of the umpires and certain spectators was of the oppo- site trend and the home teams pro- test is disa flowed.

BY BILL AK.

Although the proverbs declare that op- portunity knocks but once at every man door if is true. nevertheless, that the Barons had 1000 chances to tie the score and win the game yesterday afternoon. Rut when the fans declined to step into the diamond, lift the men on bases lh'o the body of a wheelbarraw and loree them. against their wills, to seore' Il was necessary that we drew defeat. The Rarons demonstrated beyond all doubt that in that game nothing other than compulsion could send them across the pan. Why. in the sixth inning heres what happened:
 Gygi, first up, was walked.
 Henltne. second up, was walked.
 Kane third up. hit safely over second. Larsen. fourth up. hit safely on line over sentells head.
 Then how many runs do you suppose we got?
 We iust wouldn't score. How we man. aged to keep from scoring is a mystery Rut rest assured that it was not any eA- ceptional excellence on the part Of MO- bile. It was dumbness, sleepy-headedness and i..cxcusable forgetfulness. Our negh- sence was something painful
 The score should have been to In Birmingham's favor
 The score. really. was 1 to in favor of Mobile.
 Men On Bases.
 If is such work that keeps us in the cellar. It is such work that causes the attendance to slump. It is such work that causes the friends of the game 10 lose heart.
 Grant schopp pitched well. He got Tn A hole in the first inning and was forced to throw one straight to Wheat who clomted 1t to left for three sacks sentell' who folIoved. leaped into the air for b,oh one and dropped it safely in left. wheat scored the only run of the game Tn the first inning Molesworth and Me r.i1,,rav were walked, but no runs re- suited.
