ATHLETIC CLUB
 WON TIE CAME
Southern Club Athletes Went Down in Defeat in Basket
 Ball Contest.

An athletic tournament was held last night between teams of the Birmingham Athletic Club and the Southern Club on the outdoor courts of the former. The Athletic Club won the basket ball game after a spirited contest by a score of to 5, and also the relay race, the high jump and the pole vault. The Southern Club won the fifty-yard dash Besides these contests, bulletins from the res-Fitzsmmons fight were obtained at short intervals all during the evening, and were enthusiastic ally received by the large audience. Jef- fries seemed to be a favorite with tho crowd, and even in Ftzsmmons' round very little cheering was heard.
 The first attraction of the evening was the fiftyyard dash and the contestants came in in the following order: Wilcox, Bradford, Underwood, Stolenwerck and Donelson Wilcox and Stollenwerck repre- sented the Southern Club.
 The running high jump was won by Long at about five feet six inches, with Bradford and Belden close behind him.
 The pole vault was also won by Long = little over nine feet, with Wilcox close behind him. Underwood and Bradford were also in this contest. Long, who represent ed the Athletic Club, is newcomer in Birmingham athletic circles, and is an old University of Virginia man.
 The relay race was won by the Athletic Club team consisting of the following run ners: Huey, Underwood, Donelson and Bradford The Southern team was com posed of Belden, McDonough, Stollenwerck and Wilcox.
 The lineup of the basket ball team was as follows:
 Athletic. Position Southern Bradford Center Reldan Dean (captain) Right Ed. Redd (captain) Huey l.. Ed Stollenwarclr Donelson R. Guard McDonouoh CnuerWood L. Guard Warren
 For the Athletics Dean threw three foul goals, and Bradford and Underwood each made one field goal. Bradford and Huey made each one foul.
 For the Southern Club Belden made two field goals, four points, and Redd threw one foul goal. McDonough made four fouls and Stollenwerck one.

WILL KEEP UP FIGHT
London Says the Act of Ensley Council
 Would Not Hold

There has been a great deal of excite ment stirred up at Ensley during the past few weeks over the action of the city coun- cil of that place giving the Birmingham Railway and Electric company the ex- elusive right to operate street car lines in the city of Ensley for period of fifteen years.
 There are many citizens of Ensley. 1t seems, who are opposed to this exclusive privilege being granted, and as stated in yesterdays Age-Herald steps have already been taken to oust one of the aldermen, w. S. Brown, who voted for the exclusive contract It seems that fight will be kept up for some time until the whole question is finally settled In the courts.
 It is supposed that the action of the board in granting the exclusive franchise for fif- teen years was directed against the Bir- mingham Traction company which has been threatening to run a line into Ensey in opposition to that of the Birmingham Railway and Electric company.
 'I don't know that we want to get into Ensley," said Attorney John London, of the Traction company yesterday, but if we did the exclusive rights given by the board of aldermen to the Electric company would be of no legal effect. The supreme court decided this very question about four teen or fifteen years ago, on a case which was appealed from Birmingham. The case is the Birmingham and Pratt Mines Street Railway vs. the Birmingham Street Rail- way company in the 79th Alabama, page 465"

WANT UNITED STATES
To Act as Mediator in the Transvaal G Trouble

London, June 9-The West Minister Gazette this afternoon says a rumor is current from well informed source that it has been proposed in a responsible quar- ter that the United States meditate be- tween Great Britain and the Transvaal. It is added that the suggestion is being con, sidered and 'it is even not improbable that such meditation may be undertaken"
 Washington, June 9.-The president, 1t is said, under no circumstances would con- sent to extend an offer of meditation be- tween Great Britain and the Transvaal, save upon request of both parties to the pending dispute. It Is believed that Presi- dent Kruger would not willingly seek our good offices, owing to the well recognized fact that in many points concerning the welfare of the Uitlanders the interests Of the United States are identical with those of Great Britain. Americans took part in the i'll starred Jamison raid and we are interested in maintaining a large measure of freedom in the entrance of mining machinery, dynamite and such imports into theTransvaal

fold. At Norfolk and Newport News, ne
said. the trade Is very thoroughly or
gained.
There has been great advance IN
trades unionism in the South In the past
year or two, said Mr.. Williams. The peo-
pie are beginning to realize that TO effec-
lively oppose the oppression OF corpora
lions and trusts organization OF labor Is
absolutely essential. He quoted Instances
of raise Of wages and reduction OF the
number OF working hours that had fol-
lowed the organization of the carpenters

ALL AT SEA.
Experience of the Yachts Gives No
Chance for Predicting the winner.


NEW YORK. Oct 6.-This has been
dsy of rest on board the international
racers The Columbia was tOwed from
Sandy Hook to Bay Ridge 10 get her out
of any danger from the nOrtheaster. The
Shamrock remained at her anchorage at
the Hook. her people willing TO take the
chances.
The wind blew up pretty fresh about
six o'clock. but there was nothing 10
threaten harm to yacht so well pro
tected by tenders and tugs, to say nothing
OF the powerful Erin.
The feeling on both sides is one Of con-
fdence. Mr.. Iselin thinks he will win.
Sir Thomas Upton has a nice little cor
ner in the Erin an Teady for the cup. The
public is in doubt and IL must be said
that there Is feeling of indecisiOn among
expert yachtsmen.
The two days OF drifting have furnished
almost nothing on which TO base opinion.
They have. however. seemed 10 strengthen
the belief that the Shamrock is thor
oughly dangerous proposition. This Is
now well grounded opinion and if the
two days Of light airs have done anything
they have shaken that confident feeling
that has prevailed among the hackers of
tho Columbia. Those who have watched
most closely every movement of the two
yachts are firm in the belief that there is
little 10 choose between them in drift
and when II Is remembered that the
Shamrock people have never asserted
that she was drifter II can readily be
understood that there is reason for the
rise I'm shamrock stock.
II now Looks as though the first race to
"a finish would come in a good stin
breeze.
At shutdown the wind was blowing hard
from the North. The weather was clear
ing and there were good signs of a pretty
hard northwestern in the morning. If
% comes the world will see the greatest
struggle for yachting supremacy IN the
history OF international racing.
The observer at Galilee n. j., tonight
reports: The wind tonight is north-north-
west with heavy sea running. The in
dications are that there will be a fresh
wind at the commencement of the race
morrow also asheavy sea, but that
the sea will go down as the race pro-
epds.
