Among the thvongs that crowd the way to the Sepuchre stand the baseball play CTS, sturdy sons of the national pastime that itself was one of the hobbies or the late President. All the baseball world is idle today, as it pays tribute to the memory of a grea. man and a capable ruler.
 Magnates of practically every league in the country, realizing that there is no place in the hearts of Americans for baseball today, have called off all games scheduled, and a hundred parks or more will be de1 serted, as the nation bows It's head in tribute as the funeral procession passes slowly by.
 John D. Martin, president of the Southern League, has called off all games for today in the southern League, while Judge Landis, czar or the majors, has announced that there will be no games in either or the big league.

 Moore Returns To Mound'
 Roy Moore, husky aouthpaw of the parons who has been performing III the outfield lately, will resume ms nitchfng duties Saturday, when ne twirIs one game of that double heau- or Moore will probably draw the opening assignment against the Lookouts. with stewart working Ill the second.
 Manager Nunnamaker's mound se- lectons are problematical. The vete- ran pastimer probably doesn't know himself whom he will choose for the Lookout pitching staff Is shot to pieces, and the hurlers are Worklhg in no systematic order at all.
 Thursdays results favored tne parons Atlanta defeated Nashville and Memphis lost. All of which niaces the Barons game and half from the Vols and third place, half a game from Atlanta and fourth place. and a game and half ahead of Memphis and sixth place.
