Rain prevented games at Birmingham and Selma yesterday and at New Orleans the game was played In a drizzling rain. New Orleans defeated Shreveport and Memphis downed Mike Finns Rocken- socks from the State of Arkansas. By winning yesterdays game New Orleans comes within four points of Birmingham and Memphis steps up above Chattanooga.
 Rain fell all day yesterday. and made it impossible for a game to be played at the Seventh street park.
 Manager Whistler with his band of Mis- sionaries from the Moccasin Bend arrived in the city over the Alabama Great South ern from New Orleans early yesterday morning. They are stopping at the Florence hotel, where they spent almost the entire day lounging in the lobby

PORTO RIcAN CASES.
Supreme Court Will Probably Not Rem
 der Decision Soon.

Washington, May 2o.-(SpeciaD.-The failure of the Supreme Court to an nounce today a decision in the Porto Rican cases Is believed by many law yers to indicate that no decision will be announced before the autumn term of the court, there being but one more deci- sion day this term, and that is next Monday. This view prevails because it Is always customary for the court in big cases to offer an opportunity for re- hearing, which could not well be had next Monday, as the court adjourns Monday after announcing its decisions.

4 NEW COUNTY Is
 NOW PROPOSED
Made of Parts of Shelby and
 St. Clair
MEETING AT CALCIS MAY %

 Can you please tell me why 1t Is that three cows with bells on them have been allowed to run at large around Five Points today and feast on peoples lawns It seems to me that in view of the at tempt being made on the part of people on the South Highlands to remove fences and make lawns and plant flowers that this intolerable nuisance should be stop ped It has been an open matter that the circle at Five Points has only been valua- ble so far as a COW pasture. Wouldn't it be well for the Mayor to pay little attention to the COW ordinance?

I was first advised by our family physI- clan in Charleston to use TEETHINE with our baby when she was but very young infant as preventive of collie and to warm and sweeten the stomach. Later 1t was useful in teething troubles, and It's effect has been found to be so very bene- ficial and so free from the dangers that are consequent upon the use of drugs and soothing syrups that we have come to re- gard 1t, after use with three children, as one of the necessities when there is new baby in the house and until the teething troubles are over and we take pleasure In recommending 1t to our friends instead of the horrid stuff that Sd many people use to keep their babies qtiet.

 A good story Is told on Tom Parrott, the elongated left fielder of the Nash vile team, by an old newspaper man now In the city. Back in the early sos, when he was playing with the Tacoma Pacific Northwest League, Parrott be- came imbued with the idea that he was possessed of great musical talent. He so stated to his intimates His admirers took up a collection and bought him cornet. It was a handsome instrument, and was presented to him one Sunday when he went to bat. Tom pulled his head gear, made a Chesterfieldian bow, and promised to make Levi and the other great artists look like deuce in pinoekle deck.
 Parrott went to work to make good He made the nights hideous and the mornings nOWleu With the ulScOruanl sounds of the internal thing. The board CTS rose en masse and demanded his ex- pulslon from the hotel, but as Tom came pretty near running the burg their pro- tests were in vain.
 One evening after he had been blowing himself about a month he decided to give an open-air entertainment, and, pro- ceedng to the balcony was greeted with a storm of cheers that shook the house to it's foundations. He played several se- lectionS but had the good taste to name them before beginning. It was fortunate he did, for the people would never have recognized them otherwise. He would miscue, but it never phased him. He would simply chalk up and start over. Finally. becoming exhausted he sent the
 tooter' to his room by the bell boy. The boy made a grievous mistake, however, and placed 1t in newspaper mans room. The scribe had been a sufferer at the the instrument on his bed about 3:So a.. m. decided to get even. Picking up the cor net, he got In front of Parrott's door and proceeded to blow himself. He kept it up for some time; in fact, until everybody in the house was awakened. Parrott was the last man aroused, and appeared at the door with bat in his hand.
 Realizing that the Joke was on him, Tom took his cornet and went back to bed. The guests slept in peace there after. But Parrott has became quite an artist, and may regale Birmingham cranks with solos from the hotel yeranda on his next trip.
