pitchers battle than anything else and the slab work of both Calm and Seals was something wonderful. The atmoe- phere around the plate was scOrched as Seals shot the balls over, and as they struck Joh's glove the report was like siX-inch shell striking the side of an armored cruiser. Of the thirty seven scarlet-clad Falcons that faced him fourteen of them struck out while only five bases on balls were given and but seven hits made off him.
 Cahn's box work was a bit steadier than Seals, although he did not have the terrific speed of the latter. The Falcon twirler seemed to have better control of the ball, giving but three bases on balls and striking out nine men while only eight hits were made off him. The support given both pitch CTS was good, five errors being Snade by the Falcons and four by the Inde- pendents.
 About the most costly error of the game was made by Rutledge in right

GAME LOST BY FALCONS
INDEPENDENTS woN BY SCORE
 OF g TO 10.
Fast Baseball Game at Park Tester day Afternoon for Benefit of Charity Hospital Witness
 ed by Big Crowd.

Some weeks ago there was a ball game at New Haven between Old Eli and Georgetown College of Washing ton. The game was pretty close as the grand old New Haven elms hung their heads in sorrow at the finish. A young fellow by the name of Apperious of Montgomery, with an opportune three bagger, won the game for the George town College and made the Blue of Yale trail in the dust of defeat.
 Yesterday at the ball park history re- peated itself The same Apperious gave a practical. extremely practical. dem onstration of the way in which he won the Yale game. He and his famous stick were very much in evidence-the feature of the game in fact-and his consistent batting broke tine long string of victories heretofore held by the Fa:- cons and gave the victory to the lrde- pendents by a score of to 10.
 It was a decidedly interesting gone of ball between the Falcons and the Independents at the ball park. It was just about the swiftest article of anna teur ball ever seen in Montgo nery not excepting the recent Louisville and Nashville Falcon game. It was thor oughly enjoyable game in many re |. spects, being won and lost several times by each team. and the large crowd was amply rewarded for the trouble of journeying out to the ball park.
 A tidy sum was realized for the Sis ters of Charity Hospital, and the rep resentatives of that institution wore smiles on their faces.
 When the game opened it was appar- ent that it was going to be more of

field for the Independents. He mis- judged entirely fly hit. running under it. and several Falcons tailed on it. The field work of Lobman at third base for the Falcons was one of the features. He is usually the heaviest hitter on that team, but yesterday he was only able to get one clean hit off Seals. Marcus at second base was the only one of tSat team to get more than one hit. he got two.
 One of the prettiest things of the afternoon was the base running of Finch for the Independents. He stole second and third and finally scoring. Every time he went to bat Apperious hit the ball hard. In the sixth inning there were two out when Apperious lifted the ball over the left fence about ten feet inside the fair ground. The first home run that has been seen on the Montgomery grounds in many a long day.
 Finley's stop of smoking ground hit was a piece of work that brought most of the crowd to their feet and some of Kilgr.w's .steps on first base brought rounds of applause. Shulien's work in left field for the Falcons could not have been improved on. It was like dropping in a big bucket of tar for a ball to come down out of the air anywhere out in the territory of the left part of the lot. The individual in and outfield work of both teams was far abov9 the average amateur teams.
 It was the third inning before the Independents could put a mark on the score cards. They got one man over in the third and two in the fifth and five in the sixth. adding one more in the seventh, making nine in all The Fall cons got two men over in the last half of the seventh. tieing the score. Both pitchers seemed as fresh as in the first part of the game, and it was quick. sharp work by the batteries and in and outfields of both teams until the ninth inning.
 In the first half of the ninth Apperlus made his third hit of the game. sig zling line hit that didn't touch the ground until it lit in the outfield and with some of color work by the Fall cons the tenth run went over the plate for the Independents, In the last half of the ninth Seals was "cool as cu- cumber" and the Falcons were unable to produce. the game ending ten and nine in favor of the Independents.

did his or her part we'll. Especial mem tion should be made of Miss Josie Screws who played the soubrette role. She was full of animation and played well within the part. Amateur sou brettes too often overdo the thing but Miss Screws was never boisterous. She simply filled the requirement..
 The cast was as follows:
 Alfred Evelyn-Mr. Albert Taylor.
 Dudley Smooth-Mr. Macon A. Stew enson.
 John Vessey-Mr. Ernest w. Stay.
 Jack Stout-Mr. Archie Mckinney.
 Rev. Jacob Sharp-Mr. Junius J. Pierce.
 Graves-Mr. Charles A. Allen, Jr.
 Toke-Mr. Thomas Hewlett.
 Georgina Vessey-Miss Josie Screws.
 Jeasica Franklin--Mrs. Grace Taylor.
 Mrs. John Vessey-Miss Violet Wright.
 Clara vessey--Miss Marjorie Will burn.
 Between the first and second acts Miss Elizabeth Eugenia Winter, Mont gomery's talented vocalist, rendered three songs. She was frequently en- cored and after repeated recalls she sang There Are No Eyes Like Thine" the new song by Mrs. Kate Slaughter Mckinney and MT. J. c. Galloway. This was the first time the song has been publicly rendered and it was cor dially received.
 Between the second and third acts Messrs. Al. Reynolds, w. F. Christian and Berto Johnston did what the pro- gram called "a few stunts" They gave a clever burlesque of the Three Little Maids in Mikado and a lot of other funny business that was worth the price of admission and caused great laughter and applause.
 Mr. Dan Packard amused the audi ence between the third and fourth acts with his funny sayings and topical songsq.
 The entertainment was under the di- rection of MT. Packard and he man. aged it creditably.

case, and that the law be allowed to take its course. The Governor went at once into an examination of the papers, and after going through them and giving the whole matter due con- sideration he decided to approve the finding of the Board and do nothing to save Frank Miller. the Birminghom murderer. from the gallows.
 Every effort has been made to have the Governor take some action in the case, either to grant reprive for 9 month, or to commute the sentence to life imprisonment. He referred 1t to the Advisory Board. and when it rec commended no interference he deter mined to stand by 1t. So without an- reference from other than human agency Miller will be hanged at the hour fixed upon by the Sheriff of Jeff ferson county in the jail at that county at Birmingham this morning.

"A GILDED FOOL"
An Admirable Performance at the Theatre Last Night by Mont
 gomery Amateurs.

Notwithstanding the oppressive weather, a good sized audience patron ized the performance of "A Gilded Fool" by Montgomery amateur actors at the Montgomery theatre, last night for the benefit of the Montgomery Lodge of Elks.
 The principal roles Alfred Evelyn and Clara Vessey, were played. respective ly. by MT. Albert Taylor and Miss Mar dorie Wilburn. who. in real life, is Mrs. ban Packard. MT. Taylor is a young Montgomerian who has been on the professional stage several years. He is a painstaking and intelligent actor and his work in the part of Evelyn Was good. He was at his best in the heavier shades of the part. Miss Will burn made an attractive and winsome Clara and was frequently applauded or her womanly naturalness.
 The cast was well selected and each
