SPORTING NEWS AND LIVE GOSSIP FROM EVERYWHERE

We may not win the 1911 pennant of the Southern league, but we have a mighty good chance to do that very thingl
 And Charlie Frank realizes that he Is in danger of becoming the laughing stock of the Southern league
 He is preparing to manipulate several little movements which, If permitted to materialize, will enhance his chances of ultimate victory. One of these Is the transferrence of the New Orleaus-Mobile games, scheduled to be played in Mobile, to New Orleans. He Is tempting the Seagul officials by money bag, claiming that the games If played in New Orleans will turn into the Mobile coffers more money than if they were played in Mo bile. Even should the Mobile officials ex- press willingness that the games be trans ferred Frank has still to reckon with the presidents. of the various other cubs President Baugh will vote against the transferrence and President Heisman, who has always stood solidly against such schemes, will also vote In the negative. AS there is little love between chatta- nooga and New Orleans 1t Is reasonably safe to predict that President Andrews will vote in the negative. To gain lis point Frank will have to secure six of the eight votes.
 Another move of Manager Frank is to transfer to Nashville games which vers scheduled to be played in New Orleans against the Volunteers but with which rain interfered. His object in this is to play as many games as possible with the hope of annexing a few more victories than defeats. Frank has everything to gain and but a slim chance of loss a-s result of his manipulation.
 Frank. in reference to the Hess-Boston deal, has got himself in a little pickle. Some months ago he thought he had the ol UsMxBIy psddEqs puB p7uouIo lusuued

Memphis, August 19.-(Speciai.-Be the Barons could engage in practice at Red Elm a ranstorm broke up all plans of the afternoon. A double header is an- nounced for Sunday, the first game com mencing at 230 p. m. The real pennant bee Is buzzing in the Baron camp.
 Unlike some of the critics around the circuit Manager Molesworth thinks the New Orleans team can be overhauled be- fore the final September battle. In fact Manager Moley in his optimism today went so far as to predict a repetition In baseball history by citing the fate of New Orleans team in 1904 when they took the road needing to win but two gaves out of Il to clinch their hold on the lead
 They failed to win and Memphis made a gallant fight winding up at Birming- ham with enough victories to land the flag of that season. While here western players on the Memphis team took occa- sion to boost young Jimmy Wall, the new infielder secured from Iowa by Birming- ham.
 Frank Allen and others from Memphis team praise him highly.

The Barons will meet the Turtles this afternoon at Red Elm park for two games. The first contest will begin promptly at 2:s0 o'clock. The Barons should cop both games with ease. With the twirlers going as they are any of the staff is capable of slipping one over on the Turtles. The Memphii have been exceedingly easy for the Barons this year. They should continue the good work.
 While the Barons are playing a. double header at Red Elm the Pels will encoun- ter the lusty Vols at sulpher Dell. To- night Birmingham should be game and one-half nearer their rivals. In spite of the fact that tho Vols have dropped two out of three to the Billilkkns they have always been hard for the Pelicans to beat. Especially at home.
 There Is one encouraging feature in the situation. If the Barons cannot play at least the Peicans seemingly cannot win The Bird broke even with Atlanta and went to Chattanooga to drop two out of three to the Lookouts whom the Bar ons trounced with ease. It begins to look as If the lusty oungsters of Frank were getting a bit of their confidence knocked out of them. The record during the past week has not been encouraging to New Orleans fans.
 Those two off days and yesterdays rain hurt the Barons exceedingly. They would have copped at least two out of the three had they played and improved the losses of New Orleans. But at that the Pels than they were at the start.
 Manager Molesworth declared yester- day to correspondent of The Age Herald that he was confident of over hauling the Pels. To support his opti- mism he pointed out the race of 1904 when the Pelicans took the road with II games to play and ? to win to cop the pennant. They failed to win the neces- sary two and the Turtles took the rag. Now that Is the proper spirit and Moles- worth has imbued every member of the team with that confidence. The result Is apparent
 It is announced by the Nashville man. agement that negotiations with the Bos- ton Nationals for the sale of First Base- man and Manager Schwartz have been broken off.

As d result. the elongated Baron finger will go to Redland at the conclusion of the current season of the Southern league Cincinnati will pay to Birming- ham the sum of 5000, and according to the terms of the deal, in case Trough fails to make good, he will return to Birmingham.
 By the sale of Trough Birmingham has lost four of it's most valuable men. Max we'll was sold to the New York Giants for $500, Johnston has been recalled by the Chicago White Sox, Phelan has been

recalled by the Cincinnati Reds. and Trough has been sold to the same aggre- gation. As pointed out yesterday morn ing. there is d chance of Elliott being sold to Detroit and of Kent being re- called by Chicago. And there is the ever present danger-which in this case is a practical certainty-of the loss of one other star by the draft route.
 Trough, while he has marked defects, one of which is a little inaccuracy in fielding his position, is marvellous finger, and he has pitched some of the best games in this seasons history of the Southern league. He was found in the bulrushes last fall by Manager Moles- worth, and is another testimonial to that managers ability as judge of raw baseball material.
