SPORTING NEWS
 AND LIVE GOSSIP FROM EVERYWHERE

Somewhere or thereabout the sun is shining. but for Umpire Byron it is elsewhere still.
 The recruit umpire from the Eastern league, at the hands of Mobile scribes, has received the most terrific banning ever handed out In this circuit. Umpire Buckley, some seasons ago, was biffed about from head to foot, but he got off lightly compared to the fate of Byron.
 The Mobile scribes have arraigned their enemy-though in language not so choice or soothing-as unmercifully as the im- mortal David proceeded against his. He is IS different kinds of a thief expressed in forty languages; a robber, pure and simple; a sneak, a kerchief-lifter, a noacher. a prowler, a falslher-all melt ed down in a pot and tilted into the carcass of an undesirable citizen, pro- vided the Mobile scribes have their dope down correctly.
 Byron made his Southern league debut in Birmingham. He made one bad de- cision-but no one kicked. No one thought he made the crossed-eyed decision inten- tlO0alIY. Anu ub liidd0 chC 4AiASAAe9 PNiAi stall, this in ordering Dobbs out of the diamond in stentorian tones which jared the auditory-for which It was intended.
 But he got away all right. He went to Mobile, and there he tumbled. The scribes rode him about the neck from the moment he hit Mobile until-wel, they are still riding.
 And the other new face on Kavanaugh's umpire staff, Brother Collihower. is not escaping censure. It seems that this gentleman umpired game between Mem phis and Nashville, and that, according 10 Nashville papers, he couldn't tell the difference between a tall and strike when Wingo Anderson was on the hill. Colli- flower umpired another game behind An- derson in Nashville, and Nashville papers criticised again. And, to cap the eli max, he umpired the game in Chat tanooga in which Anderson gave eleven bases on balls.
 Because Conifower umpired, the Nash vile papers are now doubting whether or not Anderson deserves the wonderful record of having walked eleven men in nine innings and having, nevertheless, won the game. Rather hard on Ander- son!
 The first year you write baseball you use six columns in banning the umpire and one in reporting the game.
 The tenth year you refer to the umpire only when you write the summary for the box score.

Baseball Is "Rain-Hobbled" Now
BARONS AND BILLIKINS

Fuzzy" Woodruff. who has turned the Montgomery Advertiser, which, as result, is blossomng like the pro- verbal geranium, sees ahead for the Barons breakers-or, in our language, as the great Roman butcher was wont to say-dreadful defeats.
 Now Fuzzy" who can sing a song or do a dance or indite a poem or de- scribe fight with the best of them all, has, fortunately, never attained repu- tation as a soothsayer or a prophet. Therefore we would conjure the fans at home, simply because Fuzzy" sees in advance a cloud, not to tremble in their boots or add tear to that which already has too much, 1. e., the weather
 But seriously speaking, from a Mont gomery standpoint, the argument of the Advertiser man, is not to be scoffed at or ridiculed. On the contrary. let us consider.
 It is pointed out. in the first place, that the Billikens of today are much steadier than the Billikens of yester- day. The point Is well taken.
 In the second place, it is pointed out that the Barons are suffering the un- kind treatment of that memorable fate of which pious Aeneas complained even though it drove him to Dido. Again, is the point well taken.
 And as a straw which would tend to indicate the direction of the wind, 1a, pfo 1,1n fact that though the Billkens easily won three games in row from the Seagulls, the Barons dropped a pair in

Rain yesterday again played havoc with the Southern league schedule. The Barons and the Billil1ens were prevented from playing on account of deluge which soaked Montgomery through and through There was a storm on the gulf. and the Gulls and the Pelicans, water birds though they are, could not face the music. Wet grounds caused the postponement of the Memphis Chattanooga game, scheduled for the former city. The Vols. and the Crackers played one of two scheduled games in Atlanta, the former winning with ease through the excellent pitching of Teddy" Bair.

POINTERS TO RANDOM

| of them. true enough. deserve the con sideration of the South Alabama gnat which persists in disturbing sleep on sul- try afternoons. And we are reminded of story.
 Umpire Rudderham made himself ridlc- ulous one afternoon last season on ac- count of his personal dislike for Covales- Xii The game was close between the Barons and the Crackers in Atlanta, and the Pole was coaching on the first base line From the Baron bench someone yelled something-exactly what is un- known. Rudderham instantly shouted, Get off that bench CovaleslSi, and leave the grounds" To enforce his command the irate official strode haughtily to the Barons' bench. He found no CovalesSi there, however, when he arrived. The fans perceiving the Pole at first base, shouted their derision and Rudderham was so confused that he was tempted to do what he has never done-buy drink for any other than Buddy himself.
 So some umplres are bad but not all of them. At any rate, it does no good to fly in their faces on every oppor- tunity-especially when your club Is los Ing Wait until you win, and then roast the umpire. Such action might be no farer, but it takes better with the peo- pie. Robbed by the umpire" is mighty poor excuse The fans want the team to win games. It does not make rose smell any sweeter even if the umpire did rob you.
 If the home players take a mean ad- vantage and win a game, you say; Yes but it's baseball" Therefore, when the umps hangs the harpoon in your own quivering flesh, you're mighty poor scout if you don't again say: "Yes, but it's all In the gamei"
 Wow Alabama is snot the only state in the union which produces political parsons This from the Sporting News and so strongly do we indorse the com ment that we wish we had written it our selves:
 "The reverend gentleman who asserted that s250.OOO had been raised by organ ized baseball to bribe the passage of Sunday ball bill in the New York leg slature has been censured by a commit tee of that legislature after he failed ut terly to prove the truth of his charge. His defense was as cowardly as his state ment was untruthful. When asked what information he had he was forced to ad- init he had none, falling back behind the fimsy shield that he was told so by newspaper man. The committee did not think it necessary to ask the newspaper man about it, for the minister's very manner of trying to squirm out stamped his excuse as false as was his first state ment. If the reverend gent were worth the attention the newspaper man should brand him before all men with what ne deserves-as one of those creatures that Theodore Roosevelt detests, but the news paper man apparently feels the R. G. is not worth the breath, or has pity"

Barons score.
 Now for the soothing syrup l While we admit that the Billikens are stronger than when they tackled Birmingham some days ago, and that the Barons are weaker, on account of 1nnumerable accidents. 1t Is to be re- membered that the Gulls which the \ Billikens defeated were vastly inferior to the Gulls which defeated the Barons. | Campbell and Chappelle are the best pitchers on the Mobile club. They de- feated Birmingham, but were i'll dur ing the Montgomery series Toney Smith. star shortstop, who played against the Barons, did not appear against the Billikens. Manager Holmes, who furnished the brains for the Gulls against the Barons, was not on the field against the Billikens
