Memphis, June 4.-(Special manager
Reed of the Mobile baseball lteam will not
attend the meeting OF the Southern league

regards the whole proceedings to inves-
tlgate alleged violations of the salary limit

In regard to the proposition of playing
two seven-inning games or the regulation

to engage attention of the moguls Tues
day. Reef, declared that Judge Kavan-
augh is right when he said that 1t was un-

Jeff's Famous Appetite
Some Sunday Chatter
by HUGH W. ROBERTS.

Chattanooga, June 4.-(Special.)-Chat-
tsnooea has hrst-rate and commodious
frame worl, grandstand.
There is nothing fancy about 1t, ana
there ic no reason why It's construction
should have caused such splendid press
agent work.
1t is much better than the shack under
which Birmingham fans at the present
time witness baseball But it cannot be
reckoped at all in a way of comparison
with the new grandstand under course Of
construction at Willamson's station.
You might as well compare star of
the major league with a star Of the Cot
ton States.
The Chattanooga diamond is bad. 1t is
rough and OH its breast luxurious weeds
sprout in rich confusion. Unfolding is
thereby rendered difficult
The field Is spacious. A drive over a
gardeners head generally goes for a
homer Covaleski for instance, might
have res ched third had he hit the drive
at West Emo which went for a home run
here FRIDAY afternoon.
And when the ball strikes the ground
it goes fast. 1t does not stick and slow
up. You should have seen the speed
employed by Messenger in Fridays game
in running down Collins drive in the
openerl We few who were pulling for
Birmingham thought it would never stop.
1t seems to have borrowed Mercury s
wings for joy ride.
En- route to the park, street cars go as
fast as they possibly can up the hills.
Returning, they go as slow as they can
coming down. This is slightly inconven-
lent. There are plenty of cars, however,
ard fans have never been left at the
park in the rain as they were in Biz
mingham some weeks ago. And you don t
have 20 walk a couple Of miles to get on
a car, nor pass through an alley. the joy
full home of the germ of typhoid and diph-
iberia.
Chattanooga is baseball mad. There's no
doubt CT that fact Merchants chat with
customers buying linen concerning local
heroes of the diamond. Men stand in the
streets during the daytime and gaze with
loving stares at picture of j. Dobbs
which hangs on the side of the city hall.
Merchants, hoping to attract attention to
their wares, fill their windows with pho
/ tographs of diamond wonders.
And you should hear them root. They
root all the time like Birmingham when
Birmingham wins. Even under the sting
of defeat Friday afternoon no one raised
his voice In criticism of home player
| And they did not lose their tempers to
| any extent when errors occurred. After
the game, which was defeat for them
they chatted with laughter concerning
events of the scrimmage which struck
their fancy

Corbett extended his paw to Choynski
and the little fellow took 1t so eagerly
that there was applause. Choynski then
softly kissed the eyebrow of his erst-
while rival, and again there was APP

team the race for the pennant would be-
come nothing more or less than pro-
cession.
Chattanooga, in our opinion, has abso-
lutely no chance to win the pennant. But
the Lookouts, in view of the support of
the fans, are just as certain to finish
in the first division as and are A.
There is absolutely no doubt. You have
maryeled why the Lookouts in the be-
ginning won SO many games. You can
find an answer in the preceding para
graphs. The fans helped them, and the
help CT the fans. as all wise men can
testify is a most valuable asset.
Birmingham is playing excellently. The
team work is splendid. They can get
runs out of nothing Things are break
ing with the Barons, true, but when has
any team won when things were breaking
aganst it? Unless bad luck comes Bir
niingharl fans may sit back and take
thugs comfortably until the beginning of
the next season. We have first division
berth sewed up in a crocker. There's a
tip TO gamble on.
Three pitchers are going splendidly--
Covaleski, F1eharty and Wagner. The
players arc hitting the ball hard. They
are fielding well and accurately, and no
lnnelc In the south cuts OF more safe
punches than this of Birmingham's. The
| boys are exceedingly fast. Messenger is
| a wbirlwind. and there are others in the
second grade of rapidity. There is no
Henry Meek on the team, no Carson no
| Sid Smith, no Greminger. You have got
| to field thu ball clearly and throw ac-
curately to head the Barons running to
| first.
| And there is not a sorehead among the
| lot. There is no man who is an out and
out crouch. The greatest friendliness pre-
| walls on and of the field. You would
| think the entire IA were educated together
on the theory of brotherly love. There Is
a family in Birmingham of several broth
ers ana each has become rich by sticking
to the other BY sticking together In the
same way the Barons are winning games.
| We have two nice receivers in Elliott
and Ryan. Our outfielder is far up in the
| galleries.
| There arc strict laws in Chattanooga.
| You can't smoke even on the rear end
of street car. But saloons are running
wide open practically speaking. Oh this
prohibition! They are running wide open
| everywhere.
Eu, prohibition cuts no ice with the
Barons. There Is scarcely one In the
| lot who goes even to the extent Of split
| ting bottle of beer. This is no kid.
| The beer-lover among them Is the excep-
+! ton. And there are other things for
which we have to be thankful.

Where They Play Today
Tile in Memphis.
BY ARTHUR A. IRWIN

Chattanooga, June 4.-(Special.)-A the
conclusion of the first inning it was all
over. In the very beginning the Barons
displayed a fondness for the curves OF
Demaree and beat him all over the field,
pilng up five runs, enough to win.
Tie Lookouts came back strong in their
half of the first and might have been
dangerous but for the splendid work of
Marcar, whose display of judgment and
accuracy was marvellous.
In the beginning of the second Manager
Dcobs sent Schiller to the hill, and the
ex-Athletic had everything. Toward the
conclusion. however, a hit by McGilvray,
a sacrifice. a hit by Emery, the steal
ing Of third. and a wild peg by Carson,
who had succeeded Meek behind the bat,
sent two more over the platter.
About the third, Fleharty demonstrated
to the satisfaction of Wordsworth that his
stock OF foolers was running low, and
Wagner was sent to the hill. This artist
retired the batsmen in finished style for
several innings, and though he slowed up
toward the conclusion of the frolic, the
Lookouts never had chance to cop.
The fatEi FIRST
To begin the opening round. Marcan
struck out Messenger, however, smashed
one o.. the piccolo over the head of Col
Inns and took two. Perry then booted the
infield hit of Wordsworth and both men
were safe. Perry, too, fumbled the infield
hit CT Mcbride and Messenger went over
The pan with the first run. McGilvray
then placed a neat single between third
and short scoring Wordsworth and Nc
Bride. Then came the nifty "Rowdy'' Ell
-liott to the stick. He smashed the first
offering of Demaree far over the head of
NcLauren. and with McGivray chasing
ahead of him, crossed the platter for as
clean a home run as was ever scored in
the history of the game. With these
nve runs to the good, the remainder of
The game was little more than a process
sion.
AS for stars, there were many in spite
Of the fact that there was much swatting
of the hide. But prefer Marcan for the
man to receive the lions share of the
praise He had a great deal to do, and
did it we'll. His defensive work and his
all round generalship was something to
make the heart of the lover of inside
baseball glow happily.
HOnOrs TO Twirlers
Schiller gets the twirling honors,
though Wagner was splendid When en-
terng the box with men on third and Sec
ond, with none out, he retired the side
without a run. Schlitzer's arm did the
better work, but for brain | tip my

Meek hurt his arm at the plate in the
INST inning, having been tossed out by
Messenger, and was relieved by Carson.
Peterson went to second and thereafter
