SOUTHERN S[UGGERS b[0SSOM|NG FORTH
COntenders for Rose Trophy Getting Early Start.
 Knisely in Race

Chattanooga, June 6.-(Special.) )-Al-
 though the season Is "early yet" the Southern league stars are beginning to
 be fairly well recognized and candidates
 for the Rose trophy for the most valua-
 ble player are beginning to stand out.
 An early start toward the trophy was
 made by Harry Welchonce of Atlanta.
 Harry would have won the ill-fated bat
 ting trophy last season but for a tech
 nicality by which the award was based
 on the records a week before the sea-
 sons close. It so happened that Dave
 Robertson was leading at that time and
 won the trophy. Welchonce nosed Rob-
 ertson out in the last few games of the
 schedule and led the league, though
 losing the trophy. Unfortunately Harry
 was sick for much of the month of
 May and doesn't seem to have regained
 his strength yet, hence is missing from
 the heavy hitting colony of Kirby, Lord,
 McComick Knisely and the rest. How
 ever, he is more than likely to make
 himself heard later on.
 Chattanooga has three most persist
 ent candidates in Nick Coyle, Manager
 Mccormick and Gabby Street, the first two because of their pinch hitting and the laIleT Dy ItdSOIl Ol HIS Shiii III 6ct-
 ting fair results out of wofully weak
 pitching staff.
 Birmingham probably will offer Pete
 Knisely, its demon slugger Pete not only hits the ball hard but he hits when hits are needed and many of the bingles that have gone to make up his .3bo average have sent in runs and won games for the Barons
 Nashville has at least one worthy as- -;ro,+ |, Cihhv Cihaon the crack Catch- ar of the Volunteers. The Vols have hit a wonderful squirt since Gibby and Gene
 Paluette joined the team and have been transformed from second division cer- tainties into acknowledged contenders. That Gibson has had much to do with lthis transformation cannot be denied. Mobile has two tremendous sluggers in Kirby and Lord. Many people opined that Kirbys terrific hitting was only a spring affair and that he would soon drop out of the hard clouting brigade. He has put the wise acres to rout, how ever, by continuing up above .350. Many critics consider him the best natural hitter in the league He and Lord have won majority of Mobiles games this year by their pinch hitting. Manager Lord has clouded his chances somewhat by benching himself frequently, but probably will be in most of the games lhenceforth.
 In seasons past. had the trophy been awarded on the same system as this year, there is no doubt that pitchers would have cut big figure In 1910. Otto Hess, with New Orleans, and Harry Coveleskie, with Birmingham, would have run Joe Jackson close race. In I1911, Hess was again the mainstay of | the champion team, New Orleans In 1 1912, Ray Boyd was wonderful factor lin Birmfngham's whining the pennant. Last year, Coveleskie. whose pitching was the main infieunce In keeping the Chattanooga club in the race. would have received many votes though he did not lead the league in victories.

PERRY ADAIR BECOMES
 UNSTRUNG IN FINALS
Youthful Atantan Goes Pieces in Final Round and Nelson Whitney Easily Wins Southern Title IA Up and 13 to
 Play-Adair Outclassed From Beginning

Memphis, June 6.-Nelson P. Whitney of the Audbon Country club, New Orleans for the fourth time won the amateur championship of the south, defeating the youthful Perry Adair of Atlanta, 14 up and 1s to play, in the tournament finals of the Southern Golf association.
 Playing the same steady game that won him the championship in 1907 and 19oS and again in 1913. Whitney was master of the situation at all stages of today s play, while the 15-year-old Georgian, whose play in the preliminary matches has been the sensation of the tournament, was nervous and unstrung from the start. Tn the first IS holes, only one went to Adair, and at the end of the morning round he was 12 down. Of the five holes played in the afternoon Whitney took ? and 3 were halved.
 It was in the long game that Whitney was best today. On the greens he was trifle cratic missing one and two-foot butts. Adair was completely off his game, In a word, 1t was a victory of the veteran golfer with the confidence gained by years of experience, over the novice who was unable to stand the strain of the gruelling play.
 Adair Starts Bad
 On the first hole of the morning round Adair hooked into the rough on his drive and whitney pulled over near bunker, but on the edge of a green, Adair was short on his two and over ran the third, while Whitney laid up 10 feet, sinking the | putt when Adair missed.
 \ On the second both drives were good, landing in the mid-fareway, but on the tsecond shot Adair went into a pit, while Whitney went to the green. Adair fozzled his third and was still way, Whitney lay ing up to six inches and taking the hole when Adair missed his next shot.
 The New Orleans player took the next hole. He was on the green after his drive and holed out when Adair went behind the bunker.
 On the fourth hole Whitney was on the edge of the green in two and Adair just behind. It was hAlved when they both missed short puts. The fifth was halved in four, following poor drives by both players and the sixth went to Whit pey when Adair drove out of bounds.
 Whitney also took the seventh, Adair overrunning his approach shot. Poor ap- proach work lost the Georgia lad the eighth hole, Whitney getting to the green in two. On the ninth Adair missed a short putt, Whitney taking the hole after both players were on in three.
 Whitney 2 Up
 At the turn Whitney was up and Adair was giving evidence of his dis tress The tenth was halved in four when

An Extraordinary Case of Trance

From the London Telegraph.
 Barcelona extraordinary case of trance or catalepsy has occurred here. Don Francisco Perez Cabero, conductor of the orchestra at the Novedades thea tre was seized with a sudden illness and the doctors certified that death had oc- cured, due to heart disease. The burial was arranged. The funeral coach, the parish clergy. the family and It's friends and a number of theatrical celebrities arrived at the house.
 Suddenly a rumor was circulated that Don Perez Cabrero had been resusctated and that the body on being transferred to the coffin had lifted it's right hand. Medical experts made a fresh examination and found that while there were the us ual symptoms of post-mortem rigidity. the commencement of decomposition was entirely absent. The priests, mourners, hired men and funeral coach were aocord- ingy ordered to retire and await devel- opments.
 Senor Perez Cabrero was a widely known musician. having been conductor at the most important lyric theatres here for 40 years. He was likewise the com poser of several successful light operas.
