 New Orleans, August 4.-Even the new grandstand built during the week was insufficient, and despite the rain over 1O,- 900 people saw New Orleans take two games from Chattanooga.

 By winning yesterday Memphis is now tied for second place with Little Rock
 New Orleans two victories yesterday places the former tailenders in fifth place, only one game behind Shreveport. Birmingham is now securely anchored In sixth place and when the team comes home they will still be in that position.
 The fans are frantically inquiring why the Birmingham team is not strengthen ed Frantic endeavors are being made with that object in view. In the hunt for talent all idea of a salary limit seems to have been lost and 1t Is an open secret that the limit is being exceeded by every team In the league. with perhaps one exception. The fans can exercise their ingenuity in guessing which team that is.
 There has been but few cases on rec ord that base runner has scored from first base on an ordinary single. It TO- quires a fast, runner to complete the trick and the taking of all sorts of chances Stearns, surprised the Cincinnati players yesterday when he made his way from first to the plate on Hurlburts hit for solitary base.

Seeking the love that allures, woful until find.
The blossom of beauty is She glad, bright as a

A burning arrow OF life winging ME Joy and
The hollow ''5,s deeps Of the sky are dumb to my
Rendins the peace OF the gods with the melody

On the high lorn peaks Of snov-panting to hear

At the edge Of the rainbow well whose whisper

OF face bent over the rim, rose-pale, and as

Thus she ever escapes me-a wisp of cloud in
A streak OF delicate moonshine. glory from

Yet out in the vibrant space l shall kiss the

shall bind her fast to my side with a strand of
her flying hair.

The Old knowledge" by Stephen
| Gwynn, is an Irish story of a somewhat
| new type. The heroine Is an English girl
who spends a summer in Donegal. sketch
| ing and having good time in a dilettante
way. The hero is native of the hills,
| Of peasant blood, but with that strange
refinement and power which the Celt
sometimes possesses Independently OF ed:
ucation or the lack OF it. II must not be
forgotten by those who study racial types
In literature that when all Europe was
more or less subordinate to the Roman
Enperors the Highlands of Scotland and
all Ireland were In a measure independ-
ent and isolated, with a civilization of
their own; and that the racial character
thus developed has never been obliter-
ated by subsequent events. The Celt,
even in iIliteracy, preserves the complex
tiles and strange contradictions of&har-
acter formed by Iong-established social
relations; he is not stolid and dull-wittcd,
Ike the English peasant or narrow like
the German, or shallow like the Latin;
he must be reckoned with as force,
whether barbarous or gentle. He has his
own original myths and legends his in
tuitiye perception of right and wrong
his imaginative strength and refinement;
and when this is at its best we have
poet; when at It's worst, a picturesque
and more or less mysterious Yagabond.
The Old knowledge" to which the title
of this romance refers is the knowledge
Of the ancient myths of ireland, particu-
larly of Donegal. Seumas MacManus has
already acquainted the American public
with some of them; but MIR. Gwynn
touches on u side of the Irish character
which none of his predecessors has fully
brought out. (New York: The Macmillan
Company. Sl.25)
