KENT OUTPITCHES PAIGE AND BARONS WIN EASILY
WITH THE SCRIBES

Atlanta Constitution: Samuel Frock and William Foxen. the one suggesting the giddy frills of the feminine, the other a crafty. if not courageous. anil nal, have gone through a rubbingit-in process that makes the generous 1it- tie act of the obliging person who brands you a tightwad after borrow ing your final dollar seem deed Of noble generosity
 Samuel Frock was brought to At lanta to sthe tune of pretty penny, which more or less successful big league record indicated was not an ex- travagance He performed in this cir cult much after the manner of Billy the Boy Busher. Few tears were shed when his trade to Baltimore was an- nounced.
 William Foxen came to these parts in an entirely similar manner under identical conditions. There was lack of lachrymose expenditure, .when Will liam departed.
 Samuel was sent to the Eastern league, a league without salary limit and probably bit faster than the Southern. Since his advent to those diggins, all clubs have looked alike to Samuel. He has downed all of them with the same avidity that thirsty tar exhibits when rendered a glass of gratis grog.
 William Foxen, the moment he changed his Atlanta" shirt for one bearing the legend of the Pelican flock, exhibited the same wonderful re- versal of form. He shut out Montsom- cry, admittedly one of the hardest hit ting clubs in the league.
 Climatic conditions have nothing to .do with this marvellous reversal, nor can there be any other reasonable ex- planation. In the halycon days of the horse race, when a thoroughbred won a race after a sorry showing, the last time out. the stewards used to have things pertinent to say to the owner, trainer or jockey.
 It would be well for the men who make the rules that govern organized baseball to peep into this condition. It should also prove food for serious thought to the management of the At lanta club.
 Exchange: There Is a.sport writer on the New York Heraldwh can make the enthusiastics gasp when they bite off chew of his lightning. Following last Saturdays game between New York and Cincinnati, he tore off this stunt:
 Cincinnati had almost won another game. Clarke Griffith and his Reds are the greatest almost" aggregation in the world. But dos you realize that the Cincinnati club has not beaten Christopher Mathewson since June in the season of 1908, and that yesterday is the nineteenth straight game that he has won from the Reds! some day when dreams come true. and water ascends grades, and every cloud has silver lining, and all hands are on the level, why the Cincinnati club will beat Mathewson.
 Mobile Register: Frank Aliens last two outs have been swell performances on the hill. and his work in the l2-ln- ming affair in Montgomery and the shutout dose handed the Crackers yes terday is a source of much gratifica- tion to the fan flock. Frank started like a house afire and went along in great shape untal sOlu to DiooAiS i Then he slumped bit, but seems to be back in his old stride. Just had to get going to keep up with the pace set by the other twirlers on the staff. For Mobile pitcher to give up more than seven or eight hits is something of an oddity these days. one to five hit ar fairs being the more numerous from Gull beavers
 i4al a rpy Fanwell of the New Orleans club has been recalled by the Cleveland club This announcement was made last night by Manager Charley Frank of the local club It Is believed this suits Manager Frank, as he has been carrying six pitchers and was looking for the chance to unload one of them. It had been rumored that Fanwell was slated for release. He has been here two weeks and pitched one game He left Port land, Ore, to come to New Orleans, hav- ing been sent there by the Maps.
 Fanwell will go to Cleveland but whether he will get another chance with the Maps remains to be seen. He Is a spitball pitcher of considerable ability.
 Atlanta .Constitution: Otto continued in his peeved state of mind in this round when Fritzsimmons called his rap down the leftfield line foul Jordan protested vehementIy despite the advice of the erudite MT Swacina, who thought the umpire had ruled correctly Jordan continued his phillipic until Fitzsm- mons hiked him fromsthe fray with more or less dramatic intensity. Britton went in in his place.
