Rome's s rally started, and when, 1t ended the Hillites had tied the score. Cole, who took Murray's place, pitched great ball,
 but In one or two innings he was fin close quarters, only to pull through by sensa- tional catches in the outfleld. Griffin was the star of the game, not only playing a great game at first, but slamming out three doubles and three singles out of eight times to bat. Manager Beusse was released today by Rome directors and Dan Burt formerly manager of the De- catur team, has been placed temporarily in charge.

AND SCOUT FINN HAS ENGAGE MENT TO INTERVIEW MAN AGER WORDSWORTH IN THE IMMEDIATE FUTURE

It is very probable that within the next few days-perhaps today-New York will make deal for Bert Maxwell and Will liam Trough premier rght-hand pitchers of the league.
 NJ J. Finn, scout of the New York Giants, has been instructed by Manager McGraw to interview Manager Moles- worth in reference to the trade, either in Memphis, Nashville or Birmingham. While Finn will probably balk for mo- ment at the figures which Molesworth will require, it is reasonable to believe that eventually the trade will be made.
 Negotiations for the services of Max well and Trough were opened some days ago when Finn recommended to McGraw that Maxwell and Trough be bought. Me- Graw then asked the local association for it's price. For the two Birmingham put a well rounded figure. and then came a request from McGraw that Molesworth grant an interview to Mque Finn. Finn was wired to meet Molesworth either in Memphis, Nashville or Birmingham.
 If Maxwell and Trough are secured by New York the Giants will land the two best right-handers in the Southern league and it is probable that both will make good. And if New York lands the two McGraw will pay very handsome sum of money to Birmingham-a sum which will make the $500 paid by Birmingham to New Orleans for Maxwell, appear In the role of the helplessly down and out.
 Another sale which may be consum- mated within a reasonable time concerns "Rowdy'' Elliott, after whom both De- troit and Philadelphia are angling. stiff figure has been put on Elliott, too' and the best all round receiver in the Southern league should draw handsome figure.
 If the three stars are sent up certain strings will be attached whereby BIT mingham will be given good fingers next spring on optional agreements.
