all in a second or two. the coacher
must figure dozen things. among
them the score, the speed of the

the outfielder the courtge and clev-
erness of the catcher in touching
out runners at the plate and a half
dozen minor matters like that. Is
it any wonder they sometimes go
wrong?
The Cracker coachers have been
immoderately weak this year in
using the right Judgment about

The Rock City turned out. for one
historic game, the largest crowd
that ever saw contest in the

A niggardly policy for several sue
cessive years got baseball in a bad
way. When the franchise changed
hands there was an Improvement
but not enough money was turned
loose to give the town a winner.
Attendance has been way off there
of late and with the team sixth and
likely to drop lower no immediate
Improvement is looked for
If the BAH club should fall in the
hands of some strong hackers it
would be big thing for Nashville
TO let the franchise go to Little
Rock would be black exc for
Nashville and a body blow at the
Southern league. one can't but
admire Little Rocks gameness in
bidding steadily for Southern

Juror Wanted to Know ABOUT Money.
Does Mr.. Darrow owe you any mon
ey now" asked the juror.

Tense, and also if he had carried the
$4,000 alleged to have been given him
| by Darrow to bribe George n. Lock

received by Franklin from the McNa
mara defense, which were not deposit
ed in the bank. Franklin said he haC
never received any money from Mr.
Darrow after November %, 1911, whel
his arrest occurred, but had received
