 Montgomery, July 25.-(Speeial)-The great and mighty Clausen has fallen. Great was his fall He went in the game with Nashville today with that same case of sulks that possessed him Tuesday and Wednesday, and lost. To- day he was displaced in the eighth in ming by an amateur Sparks, whom Hayes found several days ago up about Rome, Ga. Sparks struck out three men in the eighth and would have sent the visitors out in the ninth had he shown bit more head work. He was seized with a case of stage fright" being his first professional game, and the second he ever saw Had he gone in at the begin ming of the game the result might have been different. He went in the box with patent feathers. The patrons here have soured bit on Clausen, because he Is so boyish and even "babyish" at times, when he should resign himself to his lot like the otherss His work in today's game was indifferent and listless. This, of course was anything but encouraging to. the others of the team.
 The secret of Nashvilles victory today is found in the base hit column of the official score, together with the inability of Montgomery to hit Moran, whom the locals shut out on a former trip here. The game was devoid of any interest up to the eighth inning, when Hayes find Sparks was put in to warm up. The beachers went wild when this new phenom struck out the first three men rl,. Fno hi

COAL IN ALASKA.
Exceedingly Rich Deposits Waiting For

ting out the gold The business seems
to have been somewhat overboomcd
But several experts who have lately
been prospecting the coal resources of
tho coast region believe coal getting
could be made immediately profitable.
On the cast shore of Cooks inlet
there is big vein vi coal fully five feet
thick entirely exposed ut low tide. All
that is necessary to get the coal is to
take Il crowbar and pry it out in ms big

feet thick, and three other veins were

All tho veins arc horizontal aud extend
for miles along tho shore Considerable
quantities Of this coal have been used by

ing qualities than the British Column

the cause of my discharge, was in-

which l delivered in person and IN
which, after reclting all the facts iu
the case, asked for Information az 10
the reason OF my discharge. The pur-
port OF his reply was thut the company
had no cause of complaint against me,
but that they were going behind, that
the receipts for last July were not rs
much as for the preceding July. and
shat the company had decided on q
complete change from superintendent
down and that as they had already
