WORDSWORTH GOES
ON RECORD AGAIN

Does Manager Molesworth of the Bar
ons think the Crackers the best team
he has ever seen in the Southern league,
as stated by an Atlanta newspaper while
the Barons were in Crackerville?
From none other than Mr.. Molesworth
bimself we have it that he does not, says
the Nashville Democrat
"Only joking with cub reporter
stated Moley, when asked concerning the
story But ne added, Atlanta has the
hardest hitting ball club l have seen in
the league this year. They certainly
hammered the ball against us, and If they
keep up batting at the present gait, Billy
Smith is sure to be heard from be-
fore the race is over.
But in speed and baseball brains, there
are several clubs in Atlanta's class-pos-
sibly above it. Take my own team, for
instance. We haven't been hitting like
the Crackers, but we have more speed on
the paths and | don't think there is more
brains in one team than that which rep
resents Birmingham l do not say this
egotistically, but the facts stand out for
themselves"
w no 10 L llluh VIII VIII tlic Ptu-
nant? Well, haven't seen but two
or three teams play as yet, and it's i'm
possible to judge a ball team until you
have seen it in action. Atlanta is the
hardest hitting team I have played
against to date, but Judging from what
l read Mobile has bunch of hitters and
base runners that will bear watching.
Vols Look Strong
Nashville has a fine bunch of ball
players, and l think the only thing that
will keep Schwartz out OF the pennant
race is the fact that his pitchers may not
be the steadiest in the world. Under
stand, l have a wholesome respect for
his slabmen and none of the pitchers
have struck their best stride as yet. Bill,
however, is a resourceful leader and
may develop a winning staff in short
notice
II saw both McManus and Dahlgren
work in Birmingham this spring and you
can say for me that they should prove
winners. Dahlgren looked especially
good against us. and think his wild
ness OF Tuesday was due largely to the
fact that he has not had much chance
to work with Cincinnati.
one. 1t Is hitting fairly well, has more
speed than I have ever seen on it and
plenty of brains If the pitchers prove
winners, look out for them"
BarOns Need Hitters
Birmingham. according to Molesworth,
is in need of one more good hitter be-
fore it can be pennant contender, and
he expects to have said slugger before
many days have elapsed. The Baron
leader says he liked Del Young's batting.
but has never discussed the matter or
a trade at length with the Nashville Of
ficials. However, he wouldn't be averse
to talking If anything could come of IT,
according to the impression gathered from
his remarks.
my team has not yet reached its
best FORM Molesworth declared. Ray
Boyd, one of my best pitchers, who was
especially effective against Nashville last
season, hasn't worked in a game yet
When he rounds to, I expect to WIN a
much bigger percentage Of games tnan
heretofore. Foxen Is just getting IN
shape to work his hardest, and so are the
rest of the bunch"

Some Battle

New York, April 25.-New York and
Philadelphia played an II inning tie game
heres today, neither side scoring. Both
Demaree and Alexander pitched great
ball, McGraw's recruit doing the cleaner
work and holding the visitors to three
hits.
An unusual incident deprived New York
of victory in the tenth inning. Merkle
opened with a single and Herzog bunted
and Merlle beat Alexander's throw to
second Wilson then bunted safely and
with the bases full and none out McCor-
mick was sent in to bat for Demaree.
He hit the first ball pitched for single,
which scored Merkle.
Players of both teams ran toward the
clubhouse and the crowd swarmed on
the field. Manager Doom, Captain Doo-
Ian and other Philadelphia players, how
ever, rushed at Umpire KLEIN pointing
out that the umpire was not in position
when the ball was hit. Klein had his
face turned to the stand and was an
nouncing that Mccormick was batting for
Demaree. He agreed with Manager Doom
that he was not in position and called
for the game to go on. Many OF the
players had started to change their cloth
ing and 1t took more than quarter OF
an hour to clear the field.
When play was resumed Mccormich
hit into a double play and Snodgrass was
thrown out by Doolan.
KLEIN explaining after the game the
reason MeCormicks hit did not count,
quoted section of rule 2S to sustain his
position. The score by innings: X. H. t.

The time for winter weather pre-
dictions has arrived. According to
the good old fashioned signs Iowa will
see mild winter. Men who base
weather forecasts on the turns of ma
ture cite reasons for saying that the
1894 winter will not be severe. One
is that the corn husks are thin. Many
OF the ears on the stalks are exposed.
TITS said that when the corn husks are
thin the winter will be mild Another
old sign Is that muskrats and gophers
are not digging deep holes to occupy
during the winter months Farmers
say that when these animals throw
up big heaps of dirt near their holes
| that it is known they have gone deep
to escape extreme cold. This year It
is said the piles of dirt are not large,
which indicates that the holes are not
deep.

FINE OLD BORROWERS.
Leigh Hunt Was a Champion, and Or.
Johnson Levied on Books.

In a book Of essays, Americans n
Others" Agnes Repplier collects some
notable instances Of "A certain cOnde-
~scension in borrowers. Leigh Hunt
and William Goodwin had the trait de-
veloped to magnificent proportions:
1T would be interesting to calculate
the amount of money which Hunts
friends and acquaintances contributed
to his support in life. Shelley gave him
ut one time f1,400. an amount which
the poet could i'll spare. and when he
had no more to give wrote In misery OF
spirit to Byron, begging a loan for his
friend and promising to repay il as he
felt tolerably sure Hunt never would.
Byron. generous at first. wearied
after a time Of his position in Hunts
commissariat lit was like pulling a man
out Of q river. he wrote to Moore, only
to see him jump in again) and coldly
withdrew. His withdrawal occasioned
inconvenience and has been sharply
criticised"
AS for Goodwin, when his daughter
ran off with Shelley he refused to take
Shelley's check for $1,000 If 1t were not
made payable to n third person or "un-
less he could have the money without
the formality Of an acceptance"
Crabb Robinson introduced him one
evening to a gentleman named Rough.
The next day both Goodwin and Rough
called upon their host. each man ex-
pressing his regard for the other and
each asking Robinson If he thought the
other would be a likely person to lend
him ESQ.
DR.. Johnson was more scrupulous.
He paid back f1O after a lapse OF
twenty years and on his
deathbed begged Sir Joshua Reynolds
to forgive him a trifing loan" But In
the matter of borrowed books the case
was altered. johnson cherished q
dim conviction that because he read
and Garrick did not the proper place
for Garrick's books was on h%is-John-

never be settled between the two
friends and which came near wrecking
