GORE OF THE SLAUGHTER

Maxwell will probably heave for Bir- mingham this afternoon. Benton or Car michael will probably oppose him.
 Strange how things work themselves out Chattanooga defeated Mobile four straights and then permitted Birmingham to make IS scores. Last season Birmingham defeated Chat tanooga four straights and permitted Memphis, the day after the Chattanooga series, to run up a total of 19. .f Trough scored yesterday afternoon for the first time this season.
 Trough is hitting well, however and Kent seems to be able to paste the sphere without serious trouble
 They are crazy in Chattanooga.
  Demaree famed 10 Crackers and lost out.
 Collins, after playing with Mobile for one game, jumped. Where is he? t It looks like Mobile got stung. McElveen was a third baseman when he left the league lie returns an ouf- fielder He was always a good hitter. II is said that Jud Daley will go to Brooklyn at once. t. He Is no better man than McElveen. The major league clubs are fighting over Derril Pratt, with Detroit and Bl ookyn In the lead.

The winning of the game by Selma is due to the heady work of McAlister be- hind the bat McAlister's work pre- vented Adams from blowing up several times and losing the game. Both clubs played good ball. but the game was featureless with the exception of a fast double play in the seventh by Poole, Cooner and Sparks of Selma.

It was a great game at any rate.
 The Barons have mastered Covalesskie twice this season.
 Trough and Kent were hit hard, too. The Barons are breaking all records for home-run hitting.
 Phelan faced Covaleskie six times, got four hits, walked twice and scored six times McGilvray opened the way for him twice.

 But the Pels nosed them out in the last few minutes of play.

 That was a real game in Atlanta. De- maree and Miller were both in fine form. Fleharty was an easy mark for Mont gomery.
 II was his first defeat which did not cause Birmingham to suffer
 This Bill Bailey of St. Louis. secured by Montgomery, is a good man, it is said. He was offered to Birmingham last season.
 Montgomery is strengthening for the real fight which is about to come.

Disregard for that section of the consti- tuition of the United States which guar antees to every citizen freedom of speech and action and personal liberty is neces- sarv, it is fairly well established, for the continued existence of the national sport of baseball.
 Those minds. however, which have CO., operated in the present firm establish rment of the game were wise enough to realize that while 1t would be necessary to list the player as chattel and goods under the heading of personal. property. certain restrictions must be ordained for the protection of the player.
 And thus the national commission was created.
 The creation of the national commission proves the theory that there are eedtain inalienable rights of which, in the minds of the bosses, the player must not be de- prived.
 The national commission Is as court of the land. blind save to Justice. IL is not swayed by the influence of the mag nate or the sentiment of the player. The national commission says. State your case and we will judge.
 Gordon Hickman, the Birmingham boy, who has worked for a number of years in the Southern league, and who. on account of his ability and his good character, is universally popular, will probably appeal to the justice of the national commission within few days.
 Hickman states that he has been in con- dition to work for three weeks, and that he was not given an opportunity by Mont somery, to which club he belongs, to show that he is as good as ever-and was not given his release.
 He states, too, that during his enforced absence from the game he had several opportunities to go to work for other peo- pie. and that. on account of the rules of

 He was the property of Montgomery and could not dieker with others.
 At the same time he was not drawing a salary from Montgomery. He was sus- pended.
 ] If Hickman can prove that he has been in condition to work for three weeks, that he drew no salary from Montgomery, and that his efforts to get renstated were de- died, and can establish the additional proof that but for the alleged lack of consideration Of the Montgomery club he could have earned a livelihood for him self and family by working for another club, it strikes us that he has a very good case, and can obtain. through the action of the national commission, satls- faction.
 player, according to baseball rules, may be suspended without pay for a linn ited period of time if he is out of condi- tion or permanently if he is unruly. is un- faithful to the terms of his contract, or has certain immoral habits and customs which not only render him unfitted for work but have on his companions dele terious effect.
 But player. when in condition, cannot be suspended without pay If Hickman has been in condition for three weeks and can prove that fact, he is entitled to three weeks remuneration. Montgomery should nave put him on the salary list three weeks ago or released him-if he was in a proper condition to give Mont gomery his best services.
 There is no more contemplate man in the world than the ball player who does not give the club to which he belongs his best services-the very best he possesses all the time.
