BREWTON WON THIRD
FALCONS DEFEATED IN CLOSE
 GAME.
Lobman and Fritz Both Pitched Fine Ball, But Fritz Received the Best Support-Independents
 and Falcons Play July 4.

By winning one of the most exciting games of ball ever played in Montgomery Brewton yesterday made it three straights. having won Thursdays and Fridays games.
 Both Lobman and Fritz pitched fine ball, but the Brewton twirler had rather the best of it--and it was his second game against Montgomery at that. Fritz had perfect con trol, never giving base on balls and striking on balls and struck out four men.
 over for Brewton in the second inning. while a long hit by Wallace and some ragged in-heid work put two more to the good in the third and in the fifth a three -bagger by Wallace and error added one more run.
 It the seventh inning before the Fal- cons saw the plate-hits by Creighton and Lob man put one over and Creekmore's single with q three-bagger by Apperius added two more in the eighth. This ended the scoring on both sides and the game wound up and 3 in favor of Brewton. Tho work of the Fal- cons not up to the usual standard and this probably lost the game for Lobman. Brew tons team work was clean and snappy. as It has been in all three games, and 1t is one of the best amateur teams that ever played in Montgomery.
 An Interesting game will be the City League game between the Falcons and Independents on the 4th--Friday There will be a meeting of the league tomorrow night for the purpose of considering the applications of two other clubs.

NEW TRIAL GRANTED.
Contention of Plaintiff in Pruett Case
 Sustained.

Judge A. D. Sayre yesterday in the civil division of the City Court granted the motion for a new trial in the suit of Oscar J. Pruett vs. the Prevalent Savings and Lfe Assurance Company of New York.
 The motion for the new trial was made and argued before Judge Sayre Thurs day and he took the case under consid- eration. Oscar J. Pruett is suing the in- surance company for the value of a pol icy amounting to 5000 on the life of his brother. S. G. Pruett. The company re- sisted payment on the ground that the insur ed had in his answers to the ques- tions on the policy, said that he had never had malarial fever. while proof was introduced to show that he had had it.
 Tn the original trial an affirmative charge for the defendant was given on this showing. The attorneys for MT. Pruett. in their motion for the new trial, argued that the fact that the insured had malarial fever several years previous to the taking out of the policy was not material.
 They claimed that the payment of the policy under it's terms did not depend upon whether the insured had or had not nalarial fever. The question was not a warranty. but an immaterial one In granting the motion for the new trial, Judge Sayre sustained their contention.
 Tn the case of A. J. Joyce vs. the Southern Indemnity Association. the mo- ton for 3 new trial was overruled
 The motion to set aside the non-suit in the case of Sam Albert ct al. Trustee. vs. Wadsworth & Co. was overruled. The motion for new trial in the case of Georgia Watts vs. Florida Berry was overruled

He was fined s25, and he appealed the case to the Supreme Court, and that Court yesterday rendered its decision.
 The statutes regulating the practice of medicine in Alabama provide that no person shall be allowed to practice phyeic or surgery or any branch thereof. or in any case to prescribe for the cure of dis eases for fee or reward, unless he shall be licensed to do so.
 The opinion of the Court, written by Mir. Justice Tyson, Is voluminous ana treats the subject exhaustively.
 It defines the word 'medictne" as tne science of applying remedies to dis eases'' and quotes numerous authorities to sustain this derivation of the word Among these authorities are noted lexi- cographers.
 In concluding. the opinion sets out in substance that the facts in the case showed that the defendant. Bragg. diag- nosed diseases and applied specific reme- dies for their cure. The Court. therefore, holds that osteopathy is the practice or medicine inasmuch as the practice or medicine Is the science or art Of curing diseases.
 The decision of the Jefferson County Criminal Court by which Bragg was nneo s8 is therefore affirmed.

A Doctor Who Can,

Those suffering from any form of Chronic Disease, should give much seri- ous consideration to the question of proper treatment. It is not sufficient to know that your doctor is a good physi- clan, but the important question is wheth- CT or not he is thoroughly capable of in- telligently treating the special disease with which you are afflicted.
 Everybody recognizes the fact that this is the age of socialism. The wise man does not undertake to do many things, but to do one particular thing, and do it well-perfectly if possible The physician who endeavors to master the science of medicine in its entirety may meet with a measure of success if he is especially brilliant and competent. But there is sure to be some disease which some other physician, who has made a study of can treat more successfully. and hence, more satisfactorily to the patient.
