T never fine a ball player, but show him his wrong.
 "The closing hour for my players is 11:3o o'clock.
 Pull 'em together, don't spread 'em apart, if you want to win.
 Give the kids a chance, and don't rely too much on the broken-down stars.
 q love a fighter and an aggressive player, but I won't tolerate rowdy- ism.
 There's not much difference in man. aging major league club and minor league club
 The Barons must brace up-and inn mediately, as Chattanooga and Nash vile are but few points behind The Memphis Chicks have already passed the Barons and are not disposed to be overtaken.
 Ellam, Sloan and Coombs are the only consistent hitters on the Baron team at the present time with Magee coming across occasionally. All of the other Barons seemingly are in bat ting slump
 The fans who desire to reserve or purchase box seats may do so at the Hagan & Dunlap drug store, Twen- tieth street and Third avenue.
 Clyde Mcbride and Dannie Clark appeared in uniform yesterday. Clark cavorted around second base without the semblance of having suffered an injury recently Mcbride took things lightly. Mcbride is a veteran and knows his business.
 
 month ago a certain Baron was applauded every time he appeared at the plate. Now his appearances are greeted with a significant silence The fans have not soured on this player because his batting average has fallen off from $50 to PTS In about three weeks, hat because every move of this young man displays his utter indif- ference to the game, and the people who have paid to witness the sport A player may slump in his batting and fielding and still retain his popularity But he cannot be disloyal and get away with it. There are too many good ball players on the market at the present time to allow dis gruntle star to sulk his team into the ruck.

FRED'S COMMENT
 ON THE AMATEURS

The low standing of the Progressive Farmers, who were hard fighters for the city championship last year, is a keen disappointment to their numerous fol- lowers. The farmers made a great i'm pression last season and were picked by many to be the winners again this year. but the dope has been upset.
 The chief difficulty lies in the hurl- ing staff. They do not possess a re- liable hurler. The few noted hurlers that signed all failed to live up to their old time record. The farmers had bet ter get busy and secure some win ming pitchers if they expect to win any ball games.
 The farmers are not the only ones to lose their brilliant standing and relapse and suffer series of defeats A little uragement and the addition of new strength to their lineup will make them formidable team.
 The annual playground track meet is attracting great deal of attention. Practice for the events is holding many of the performers from their teams. Rut what's the difference? It appers in. some kind of energy.
 
 The Thomas club of the Central league is fast getting into their past seasons form and promise to make the leaders hustle for the right to take tne bunting. The Thomas boys held a close second in last years race and are now only one peg lower.
 The race between East Lake and the Rasco Jewellers promises to be the closest of any in the preceding years Tn the history of the City league. Both are satisfied with their present team and Will fight it out. West WoodIawn IS barely in the third position.
 In fact every team in the circuit has good squad and the race in this lear,1e VIII be more closely punched than proh ably any other

boY ELLAM supported Burleigh N Grimes in fine style yesterday
 afternoon, and incidentally se- cured his daily bingle. Ellam is slowly but surely batting his way out of the Southern league. Good luck to him in his designs.
 Charley Carroll couldn't see offerings of Bagby, therefore he cannot be cen sured for striking out three times. But he should consult an oculist in haste.
 
 Cecil Coombs didn't get his daily wallop yesterday, but he had the fielders playing way back to catch his terrific drives. In the third Coombs pulled a brilliant play when he fielded Pezolds single perfectly and then threw out Higgins on a beautiful line throw to the plate. Coombs was forced to show the crowd how well he combed his hair when he came to the bench following this play.
 And Lord Cecil has very bad ankle and really shouldn't be in the game. 
 "Jeems' Magee allowed about the seventh inning that Jim Bagby didn't deserve no-hit game, so he widowed q double to center. This peeved Bagby considerable.
 In the fourth Tod Sloan slashed one tc deep right and the ball fell on the foul line. The ball to the fans ap- parently fell safe, but Umpire Dan Pfenninger, who as is well known, except to the league officials, to be as blind as the proverbial bat, ruled 1t was a foul. Get some glasses, Dan, you old fossil.
 One thing certain, the umpires are not giving the Barons any of the breaks. Clarence Rowland who first leaped into fame by being promoted from the minor league to manage the White SoX, and who has added to his fame by putting the Chicagoans in the pen nant fight, made these few. remarks the other day:
 ''I consider that the player is as inn rortant as the manager

The opening bombardment on Grimes had been terrific
 Alter breathing spell the pelcans again attacked in the second and gained q slight advantage when Hemingway fal- tered but the vigorous work of General Ellam, Carroll and Wallace held the en- emy in check. In the third the Lombard ment of Grimes continued with unabated ferocity, but the Barons held the line de- spite the fumes of poisonous gases The fourth and fifth stages of the battle passed with the Barons still holding t1eir first line of trenches and in position to score brilliant victory And then came the massng of the enemys guns in the sixth, which completely routed the Barons.
 Edmondson started the carnage by eVading the sharpshooting of Grimes and reaching first on rass. Higgins then dropped a shell in center Pezod also attacked the center, scoring Edrnondson Pezold. however, was captured in an ef- fort to turn the right flank through the activity of Sloan, Hale Ellam and Wal lace. Thomas continued the bpmLard- ment of the center and amid the terrific cannonading Higgins scored.
 The air was filled with smoke and the roar of battle was incessant In he midst of it Knaupp charged the center and was quickly followed by Bagby, who charged on the right. With all i:aron trenches occupied it was tense mo- ment, but the worst of the engagement was over as Hendryx slammed Grimes again to center, scoring Thomas and knaupp. Reilly was then disposed of by Grimes on strikes and Coyle grounded out. In the seventh eighth and nlnth the Pelicans attempted in vain to further add to the discontinue Of the Barons but were unsuccessful. Despite the severe cheek General Molesworth stiIl holds the Redwood fort, but his forces are in bad shape.
