THAT hectic mellerdrammer

THAT hectic mellerdrammer,
The Last of the Barons," will
be enacted for the benefit of a
thrilled and somewhat awed pub
lie this afternoon.
And, bless goodness, it is the last
of them in Atlanta for this season
not that we don't. like to see them
play. but because the result Is gen

incidentally. the Crackers tossed
off all that was movable of an
other doubleheader yesterday aft
ernoon, making -four games out of
four for the hated opposition.
D the way. the Barons are going
~ to win. the Southern league pen
nant this yea. We said 1t before
the first game was played-but 1t
was only rank guess then We
say it again now-and it's a deadly
certainty.
Bar miracles and there's nothing
to it but the Barons. They're out
in front mile. just canterng and
yet pulling away from the rest of
the field as though II was anchored.
Even now, before the Barons have
won their fifth straight game from
the Crackers tsee our extra for the
morbid details) they are a good IS
points ahead of Mobile. their near
est rival This means matter of
seven and one half full games.
OF course, beginning Monday. the
league has six full weeks to run,
and the Birmingham team has ex-
actly 81 scheduled games. But what
makes ii particularly nice for the
Barons is that 20 out of the S2-a
miserable Ave eighths-are to be
played at the Birmingham park.
The Barops could be beaten. And
SO could the Giants. But we don't
look for it. Anybody with capital
would gladly insure them against it
at very low rate

Is still a matter Of much con

A baseball fan, who has gone in
TO the subject very thoroughly. puts
Marquard in the record class with

has been presumed that Luby held
the pitching record In that year
Luby was member Of the Chica-

the fight was on between the

game was called at the end OF the

were SO far in the lead that Mar

of the seventh inning to give him

on June Il, against Pittsburg,

In the game in which he was taken
out Of the box to permit another
player to bat for him some small

ord on the ground that he was not
entitled to the game because he had
been sent TO the bench.
He was entitled to the game. and
all the rulings which have been
made in baseball for the last Ave
years have been made on exactly
the same ground
The only trouble with the other
fellows was that they were not up
to date and did not realize that
there is no fixed set Of rules by
which pitchers are rated
The question has been argued
often enough by this time for ev-
erybody to be familiar with it. No
exception was made in Marquard's
case. for every pitcher has been

Wauner's Last Words.

There have been so many and con-
flicting stories published as to the last
hours of Richard Wagner that the
chapter devoted to this point in Gla-
fenapp's biography of the composer will
be read with interest. The master was
not really sick at the time, but tired
out from the work and worry over the
"ParsifaP' rehearsals. On the morning
of Feb. Is he said to his valet, Il mus
be careful today" After breakfast lie
went to his study as usual and worked
on an essay on ''The Feminine In the
Human" He asked to be excused at
the noon meal, and the family and an
intimate friend were enjoying it when
a woman servant rushed in and said
that the great man was i'll. He was
placed on a cot in his study, and while
removing some of his clothes a watch
which his wife had given to him fell
to the floor. He gasped, "My watch!"
And these were the last words he ut
tered.

Boiled Down.

When Samuel c. Blythe, the writer,
was editing a newspaper in New York
state u green reporter one night turn
ed in a long and thrilling story re-
garding the rough treatment handed
out to John Smith, a visitor to the
town The story related that. Mr.
Smith, wearing a high silk hat, had
ventured down to the docks after
nightfall and a silk hat being unusual
and provocative Of antagOnisms in
that section Mr.. Smith had emerged
from among the dock hands without
the hat Nevertheless he carried out
of the melee so many wounds, cuts
and bruises that he had to be sent
to the hospital. The article in its orig
inal form was too long and not in
keeping with the style of the paper.
Accordingly Blythe started to rewrite
it, This is the form in which it APP
peared in the paper the next morning:

Birds andjFishes and Glass.

A correspondent recently reported
what he described as the curious
freak" of a backbird flying against a
parlor window many times at the
same spot continuously. Such an Incl
dent is MT uncommon. Birds have
been known to fight for hours at
time, day after day, with their own
image detected in a pane OF glass,
pecking and futtering against the pane
and cutie eXhausting themselves in
their fury to demolish the supposed
rival It is another instance of how
the arts of our civilization corrupt
aud confuse the birds. 1t is the same
with fishes Darwin tells a story of a
pike in an aquarium separated by
plate glass from fish which were its
proper food. In trying to get at the
fish the pike would often dash with
such violence against the glass as to
be completely stunned. 1t did this
for more than three months before it
learned caution. Then when the glass
was removed the pike would not at
tack those particular fish, but would
devour others freshly introduced. It
did not at all understand the situa-
tion, but associated the punishment
it had received not with the glass, but
with a particular kind Of fish.

A Race of Tenors.

Generally speaking, races living at
high attitudes have weaker and more
highly pitched voices than those living
in regions where the supply Of oxygen
is more plentiful. Thus, in South
America, among the Indians living on
the plateaus between the ranges of the
Andes, at an elevation of from 10000
to $4,000 feet, the men have voices like
women and the women like children,
their singing being a shrill monotone.
The Australian native has a weak
voice, but a knack of sending it a long
distance, and the lowest tribes Of
African bushmen would come into the
same category; but, it is said, Of all
human beings the pygmies Of Central
Africa have, in point Of volume and
compass, the weakest of human voices.
