As the above may show, most man
ayers got to the point of thinking that
McGraw as baseball judge, was in
fallible. If he cut a player adrift
they didn't care to have anything to
do with him in the future-that is, all
Of them felt that way except George
Stallings of the Braves.
Stallings watched Rudy and Rudy
looked to have the goods. He signed
Rudy and that pitcher has been the
big factor in the wonderful squirt
made by the Boston Braves in the
last two months.
Rudolph has pitched wonderful base
ball. Few of his games have been
lucky wins. He has won through
sheer pitching ability The players
have battled behind him at times. but
never enough so that he could allow
the enemy an average of two runs q
game He had to keep their average
under that-and he did

DOLLAR HIS BRlNG RESULTS
Mike Finn, Manager Of the Memphis
Chicks, Works Unique Cure for
Players Left on Bases.

They are telling one on Mike Finn,
manager of the Memphis Chicks, that
is a good one if true in any degree.
Mike, they say, was very anxious
about six weeks ago for some base
hits that would drive in runs. His
men were getting on bases. all right.
but the hits to put them over we're
always missing. Finn claimed that
he had more men left on bases than
any team in the league
So he proposed that every hit that
brought in a run would get the hitter
one round silver dollar
The scheme worked pretty we'll and
more runs were the result The
Chicks pulled out Of last place.
Mike let the players account run
until Frank P. Coleman sold the Mem
phis club to Russell Gardner, so the
story goes. and by that time 1t had
run up to $110. The Chick manager
carried the bill to Coleman
Mr. Coleman is not a stingy man.
but he has been in baseball for a
number of years, and he never had to
pay players extra to make base hits
He looked the bill over. then turned it
back to Mike with grunt and a shake
of the head, which meant nothing do
ing.
And-maybe it's all a joke-they
say Mike had TO dig deep into his own
jeans to make good with the players.

Mrs. Chas. Vinegar returned home
to Waterfowl Thursday evening, after

In our report of the Luce Line com
pany last week the addition of one
CIPHER and a comma made quite a diff
ference in one item. The report said
that the company had no outstanding
bonds or liabilities except current bills
which rarely amounted to over
$4,000, 900" This was, of course, a
mistake and the figures should have
been $1,000 90.
We had heavy rains on Friday morn
ing and Saturday night, which added
to what We had made quite a little bit
more. over five inches of rain fell
here during the first thirteen days OF
June. which is very nearly a record.
Prof. Kerr tells us that nearly twelve
inches has fallen since the middle of
April, and this is over half of the nor
nal rainfall for the year. Another
heavy rain fell yesterday afternoon
and it looks as though this would be
the wettest June in years.
There has been some agitation the
past few months for a larger city
park, but it seems to the Register that
the parks we now have should receive
proper attention before We talk or
getting bigger ones. The school house
and court house parks should be curb
ed and cluster lights placed on the
corners. The caretakers of the two
buildings keep the grass in fine shape
and it would seem as though the city
should help a little by putting in these
improvements. The road west of the
school house, where most of the
autoes congregate on band concert
evenings, is a disgrace. Clay from the
excavations of the new buildings was
piled there, making a poor road when
dry and one that is practically i'm
passable in wet weather.

We were down to Lake Campbell
Sunday and it is certainly some body
of water at the present time. The
water was flowing about a foot over
the wings of the dam and two and a
half feet over the spillway. There was
practically no beach anywhere on the
lake, the water being up to the grass
on every side. At the south end the
bridge was an island, the road being
flooded on both sides and the water
reached within a couple of feet of the
bridge floor. The old-timers around
the lake say they never saw it so
high. The river had o~verflowed at
some places along the bottom land,
but there was not as much land under
water as we had expected to see. The
water has been going down rather
slowly this week, as the river with it's
crooked channel cannot carry it away
very quickly.
