 If the yellow mems brains were soft in this case their hearts were soft at another riot described in the re- port.

Problem May Bob Up

Last season when Herbert Juul, the schoolboy sidewheeler complained to Judke kavanaugh that he had been prom ised bonus, he initiated an action which resulted in his liberty.
 Montgomery, which was found guilty of technical violation of the limit. was fined.
 This year, furthermore, if. the charges against Mobile are proven. under the same provision of the Southern league cons tituton, Pitchers Campbell. Fiene and Ry and Infelders Fox and Smith will be entitled to their freedom.
 Should the league so declare. there would follow an interesting controversy. Fox Smith and Fiene have either been released or sold. Could the Southern leagues decree cause clubs in other league sto lose players?
 In the case of Campbell and Ryan there would te no such handicap. They simply would pack their trunks and leave Mo- bile

POINTERS TO RANDOM

In order to make the clubs of the cir cult exceedingly careful in regard to maintaining the integrity of the salary limit, the fathers. in their wisdom, have decreed that that player who peaches" shall be given his unconditional liberty.
 This action may have and may not have caused tho general observance of the salary limit. However, even though it works in practice, the idea in theory is exceedingly bad.
 As a matter of fact, the player who receives bonus Is equally as guilty as the club which gives. The taker of the brbe and the giver of the bribe, in com- mon law, are thrust forth from the com pany of honest men. But of the two, it is safe to presume that the man on whose head the major portion of the general contumely is heaped is not the man who gives.
 In ancient Egypt, according to that most profound thinker, Bobo, the bribe- giver was hanged, while the bribe-taker was stocked on the public highway as an obJect lesson to humanity.

Wesley, general utility man, and Lambert hard-hitting outfielder, have been retained; also have Kuykendall and Wylie, pitchers.
 The new team has revived interest in baseball here, and where there was knocking before, now there is enthusiasm. The crowd at the first game Monday was as large, if not larger, than the one on opening day in May.

Divisions Are Settled

As far 3as the occupants of the respec- tive ei isiens are concerned, 1t Is very probable that the 1911 Southern league campaign has, practically speaking, been concluded.
 In ach half there will be several changes, 1t is more than probable, but it Is scarcely probable that either member of the second division will be able to scramble into the company of the elite before the dropping of the mantle in the fall
 At the present writing Mobile and Mem phis are out of the hunt. Atlanta, on paper at any rate, has pretty fair ban dip. If Sitton and Atkins can win a great majority of their games-a great majority. understandable Crackers have slim chance of accomplishing some thing. Nashville has maintained stride from the very beginning which is not nat ural. Nashville, as a result of the single handed work of Red" Smith, has gone faster than it should have.
 But, unless there occurs some unexpected upheaval, neither of the cellar quartet will threaten the peace and dignity of those who are exulting in the atmosphere Of respecta bility.

Henrietta Pittman. Richmond wO-
man. is believed To be- the witness by
whom the State will attempt To prove
that Henry g. Beattie. months before
the murder, promised Beuiah Biniord
to get rid of his wife.
information from Norfolk is TO the
effect that It Is the Pittman woman, who
once made her home on Church Hill,
who had heard the direct assertion OF
Beattie that he would get ud Of his
wife. She Is reported to be close
friend of Beulah Binford. and IT Is be
ieved that her testimony Wiil be- close
lv in line with that of Mayme Shaier,
and Ida lhldreth. two Norfolk women.
According to the report the fittman
woman was at the Norfolk races IN
company with other women, including
Beuah Binford, aud there met Bcatue
and others.
The Pittman woman entered general
denial, answering every question put
to her in the negative, asserting that
she knew nothing whatever Of the
Beattie case, save what May Stuart had
told her.
Officers in charge Of the case are
silent and are of the opinion that too
much of the Commonwealth 5 evidence
had already been made public, giving
the defense an opportunity to combat.
Beulah Binfo,d had taXlcab ride
Wednesday. though she did not ENJOY
it as much as under other circumstances,
since it was To the office Of the dentist.
Deputy Sheriff SydnOr called motor
car and took her TO a dentist. who eX-
tracted an offending tooth. On her re-
turn to the jail she expressed great re-
lief. Paul Beattie and Beulah Blnford
both hope for an early trial, for when
their testimony has been given they
may go free, as there Is no charge
against either. They are not held as
accessories but as witnesses.
DIR. }. q. Loving, coroner for Ches-
terrified county. Thursday declared
that the body of Mrs. Henry c. Beattie,
Jr., buried two weeks ago, would not
be exhumed. There was an effort to have
the body taken mp in order to determine
the physical condition Of the murdered
woman. But this will not be done. Jaller

mediation of Henry Beattie, Paul Beat
