The loss was suffered last night despite some fine pitching by the Hopltinsulle mound staff.

Stand- in? out was the relief pitching of Tommy Williamson, the Hoppers southpaw who struck out the first four men to face him io the ninth and tenth frames. Most of the game was a mound duel between Skip Fiscel of the Hops and Gene Puckett of the Chiefs. After a shaky start, Fis- eel allowed only one run from the first inning through the eighth. He wi-nt out for a pinch- hitter in the top of the ninth as the Hoppers lied the score at 4-4 without the aid of a hit. Pufkett walked two batters in the ninth, then got two balls on the Ihird hitter, Warrell.

Manager Pete Peterson went to the mound and wild-pitched the tying run home. Kant Burgess took over for the Hoppers in the bottom of the ninth, A hit and an error on an attempted sacrifice put runners on first and second base with nobody out. Williamson came in at that point and proceeded to strike out the next three men. Williamson also whiffed the first batter in the 10th but Peterson was safe on an error. Chuck Braun forced Peterson at second with what should have been the third out.

Jack Chinchar walked and Pete Harbold replaced Williamson to pitch to Glenn Young. Young hit what appeared to be a routine fly into short left and it was allowed to drop safely to break up the balfgame. Young's fourth hit of the night.

"I don't know where that $620 figure came in that was used in the Associated Press story," Melvin said today.

"It never was mentioned." As for the $1,200 figure mentioned as the proceeds of the opening "Welcome Night," Melvin said that was approximate. He reported Dyersburg official! told him they could get at least 120 merchants to put up $10 apiece. The Dyersburg cotton mill, which employs an estimated 700 persons, was expected to put up at least $70. "As for moving," Melvin said, "it's sull banging fire. Tbe league directors are apparently for it What the merchants here who threw veiled hinu at me don't realize is that although baseball is dog-eit-cat affair on the field, when it comes to the business end, baseball men will go out of their way to help one another." Melvin said be plans to telephone Dyersburg during the day to find out the exact score before he leaves for the Kitty meeting and All- Star game in ulton.

jd THIS IS IT? That Fulton meeting of the club officials, which is not scheduled until after a 5 p. m. supper, could result In an informal discussion that would make the All-Star game tonight an anti-climax. Four of the eight Kitty teams are reported facing financial crises, hence what is said at the conference could have lasting results. In trouble are Hopkinsville, Jackson, Union City, and Mayfield.

1 jd i FUN IN MAYFIELD Manager Sam Lamitini may the man of the hour in Fulton, where he is on his way to giving the town its third straight Kitty League pennant, but he would win no popularity contest in Mayfield, it appears. The Mayfield Messenger reports that it took 15 minutes to evict Lamitina from a game in Mayfield Monday night and charges the rhubarb was a "disgraceful performance." Seemb Sam the man got into an argument over a called strike in the fourth inning. The debate raged and raged. The public address system played the National Anthem but when the record of the Star- Spangled Banner was completed. Manager Lamitina wasn't.

He was still on the field arguing. With the help of three policemen, Lamitina was finally induced to leave the dii- mond but he got only as far as the football stadium seats beyond first base. From that point, the Mayfield paper claims, the Fulton manager continued to direct his team by a wig-wag signal method. "But don't blame Sam," the Messenger concludes. "He has been getting away with the same thing for three years.

The umpires last night had no more control over the ball game than the Rev. and the Rev. was not at the ball game." -T with 1 jf comiaj dark frura dream during i "iv tairr of i a hu daily of to a i i t- T-err. among ihe i on i BrootJyn i I The a i 1 I i a and a a lead I the Nation-' League per.nant ehaje a Loim tontfnt in i of a 'our gamr series at norr.t I whose a i a gue All-Stan came out on top at CxncinnaU expected, decided, to give Preacher Roe another chance to recover his once-powerful wizardry over the Cards the first game.

P.a-r 'Ut "i He auaed He dunt want to talk He in tua know wW OC BM UK daj Uie 1M and I IP OUltt. U.TC*." A Racing Duel Is Thought Likely New York. July 16 W--It seemed certain today that Tom Fool and Native Dancer will tangle this fall in turfdom's dream race. The race and date, however, won't be decided for a long time, as Tom Fool, the Greentree Stable's handicap ace, and Alfred G. Vanderbilt's Native Dancer, the 3-year-old champion, follow a carefully planned summer program.

Belmont Park made a big bid to bring the two horses together when it changed conditions of the Sysonby Mile Oct 6 from a handicap to a weight-for-age race. This means, if they both started in the Sysonby. 4-year-old Tom Fool would get 126 pounds while 3-year-old Native Dancer would carry 120. Johnny Hay (Jock) Whitney, Greentree owner with his sister, Charles S. Payson, said it was his intention to start Tom Fool in the Sysonby.

Memphis-Little Rock affair last night. Little affair. Pee Dee won the first half Rock won a battle home runs, 9-8, and all 17 of the runs were scored after the second out. The victory pulled the Travelers to within two games of the first division. Both Nashville and Atlanta won last night, leaving the Vols two and a half games ahead'of the Crackers.

Nashville walloped Chattanooga, 13-1. Atlanta won its fifth straight with a 4-1 verdict over Birmingham. New Orleans beat last-place Mobile, 6-2. After being held to six hits in each of the last two games, the Vols pounded two Lookout pitchers for two home runs, four doubles and 10 singles for their lopsided victory. The Crackers tied a league record of only one assist in a game established by the 1931 Crackers.
