BONE EXPLAINED 1T.
Told Tax Payers League About City
Overdrafts.

Less than a dozen faithful follow
ers of the Tax league attended last
nights meeting at the court house. 1t
was a short meeting, characterized by
a positive absence of birthstone, dyna-
mite and scalping knives. When the
minutes are compiled, last night
meeting will stand as one undisturbed
and peaceable session in the short ex-
istence of the tax probers
Had not Roy l. Bone, gone to the
court house to explain the municipal
overdrafts. the evenings bill would
have been without features sufficient
to keep the small crowd awake
Bones reception was cordial. He was
thanked for coming to the court
house and begged to call again. At
ter Bone had explained the overdrafts.
the dozen gray haired men wagged
their heads in approval and the tax
leaguers planned a search for some
new mystery.
To the league Bone explained that
perhaps the law was violated in 1910
by the old commission when 1t forgot
to provide for an emergency fund IN
the city budget. Bone was not proud
of the overdrafts from certain mu-
nicipal accounts, but urged that none
of the several city funds had been
commissioners were we'll within the
provisions Of the law. Then he urged
a full investigation of the affairs of
his Office and of the city government

After Bone had discussed the red
ink pages of the city finance, Oscar
Swayze expunged Stanley Medlicott
from the records. Medlicott had been
reported short in the treasurer's funds
at the recent meeting and Swayze
wanted the matter cleared. He said
no blame rested on the former treas
urer's shoulders. AS for the sale of
the Missouri Pacific stocks, Swayze
said the contract between Kelley &
Kelley and the board was fair and

SECOND BASE HAS PROVED TO
 BE A 100000 TO LOOKOUTS

Chattanooga, July 9-(special. .)-For four consecutive years, or in fact ever since Chattanooga has been in modern polite baseball circles second base has been the hoodoo and jinx of the team representing this berg. The trouble started back in 1909, when Chattanooga was making a runaway race of the Sally league.
 Brooks. an inhelder from Kansas City, was at the keystone sack. Everything went o. K. until Columbus invaded. but at this point the Foxes in pilferng ham, mered the lad into a pulp. Riggs. Helm and the remaining strong guys of the Jim Fox aggregation put Brooks clear out Of commission.
 The Lookouts managed to get away with the bunting in the first half by shift ing different men to the hole. but in the second half of the season the weakness proved fatal and Dave Gaston, at pres ent with the Foxes. was brought from the outfield and placed in the hole. The move was made too late however, and Castros Augusta Tourists won the gon- falon in the second half of the season, necessitating some post-season games at Augusta that well nigh ended in a riot.
 The following year. 1910. the locals first season in the Southern, Ham Patterson was the original keystone saeker. The elongated one blew. however. in mid season. leaving gap that was never prop erly filled, even after Clayton Perry was shifted to the position and the Lookouts, although leading the league by 100 points June l, dropped to the second division.
 Last year. 1911. the Lookouts had team that was practically conceded the rag, and one that cost tho local management so much money that 1t was termed the Plutocrats, Hulswitt was the man sta tionedi at the keystone sack, but in the second invasion of Atlanta Otto Jor- dan had a collision with the ex- Cardinal in stealing, and he went for the season absolutely blasting all chances for pen nant. George Mil was finally secured and placed in the gap after innumerable games had been lost and a first division berth thrown away.

MOBILE IS ONLY CLUB WHICH
 PARED WELL WITH BARONS

Mobile seems to be the only hoodoc which the Barons have. Mobile is the only team in the league which has taken u:ore games from the Barons than the locals have won from Mobile. Every other club in the league, with the exeep- ton of Memphis, has been very easy for the Earons. The Mobile Guls have taken seven games from the Barons. while the locals have snatched but a quintette of victories from Mobile.
 Next to Mobile. the Barons have had mere difficulty in whipping Bill Bern- hard's Turtles, who are slowly dropping. The Barons have split even with the Turtles, each club annexing a quintette of games. New Orleans has been beaten cften by the Birmingham club. Eleven games have been won from the Pelicans, while they have succeeded in annexing but five from Birmingham.
 Before the game of yesterday the At lanta Crackers had won but one game from the Barons, while the locals had a total of six wins. However. the unex- pected happened. and the Crackers won. Especially in Atlanta were the Crackers easy. On the last trip the Barons played fcur. game series and failed 10 lose a single contest. However, the last game vas tied.
 The LookoIts have been beaten eight times. while they have trounced the Champs but twice. One of these two yic- tories was a 10 to 2 romp over the league leading Barons in Birmingham. The Billy Smith hates to see notice tackled Bilyl Smith hates to see a notice tackled

 The Yankee runners continue their brilliant work in the big Olympic games at Stockholm, Sweden. One of the most exciting races was the one hundred metre run, and every American heart in the stadium thrilled with joy when the royal band crashed out the inspir- ing strains of the 'Stars and Stripes Fofever" and three American flags were raised to the pole of victory. This was the signal that the sprinters from the United States had made clean sweep of all the places counting for points in the one hundred metre run.
 Ralph Craig, the Detroit Y.M.C.A. man, was the victor by four feet over Alvah T. Meyer, holder of the American national sprinting championship, and Donald F. Lippincott, the freshman from the University of Pennsylvania, was third-a bare six inches behind. Meyer and Lippincott were not chosen as regular members of the American team, but went along to Stockholm on the supplementary list when their ex- penses were guaranteed from private sources. Scott, Edmundsen, Thorpe and Meredith are also winning honors.

CRACKERS BEAT
 THE BARONS TWO COSTLY BATTLES

Tho first injury that Jordan received was down in Montgomery. where he sue eumbed to dlslocated shoulder in sliding into the bag and was forced to retire from the game for two weeks.
 Otto got back about a fortnight ago, but the iinx was not long in asserting itself, and at present Jordan lies at his home in Atlanta with typhoid fever. The prospects are that he will be out for the remainder of the season. As bas been the case eaciia year, injury to the second sacker hassnecessitated an entire shakeup of the infield, and one that invariably proves fatal to pennant aspirations.
 Sentell Is now the man that is covering. the cushion, and it is hoped that he will weather the season without injury, as the jinx claims but one victim each year.

up that the Barons are coming. He has percentage of 200 against the Barons. The Volunteers have fared but little better Bill Sehwartz's crew have beer able to win one-third as many games as 1t has dropped to the locals. However it is believed that the Nashville club will give more trouble this season. The Barons have taken six from the Vols and lost but two to them.
 Johnny Dobbs is not a happy man, either, when the Barons come to pay a friendly visit. He has succeeded in losing to the Barons easily and often. Nine de- feats have been handed the Billikens, while tfey have hammered out but four. Two of this quartette were gained in the orening series. Dobbs' percentage against the Barons Is .30S
 -. Chelly Frank believes that the Barons are perpetual hoodoo. He has tried his "darndeSt" to win, but has taken but six games. The Barons have come with in enc of chalking up a dozen games against him. And yet the Barons smile. The record in condensed style follows.
