There were originally four starters, but Green Morris scratched Old England, depending upon his stable mate. Homestead, to carry the Morris colors to victory. The starters were Major Dainger- field, 126 (Shaw); Hyphen, Il (Odom) and Homestead, III (Jackson). Major Dain- gerfied was always a consistent favorite, closing at even money with Hyphen sec ond choice, to D. and Homestead quoted at to l. The start was good. Hyphen broke in front, the favorite second. As they passed the stand the first time Fly phen was leading by half a length and going very easy with the Major second. He remained around the crst turn and into the back stretch. Homestead was now beaten, unable to keep up with the fast pace. Nearing the five-eighths pole, Odom let his mount have his head and in a twinkle Hyphen bounded forward and opened a gap of two lengths on the favorite. Rounding into the stretch Fly phen was galloping while the Major was under whip and spurs. Shaw, realizing he had no chance to win, eased up his mount Hyphen galloped home four

GAMES TODAY.
Birmingham at New Orleans. Atlanta at Shreveport Chattanooga at Memphis.

New Orleans, August 2.-tSpeciaD-The second game of the Birmingham series was won by New Orleans in the easiest kind of style. The Pelicans simply toyed with their opponents and could have run up score twice as large. had they been so minded. As 1t was, the visitors were indulged with the lead for a few incon- sequental seconds and then the locals shot to the front and copped out the game by the score of to 3.
 Larry Stewart, who was In tho box for the Pelicans, did not seem to be exertlng himself at all in the first few innings. He merely lobbed them over, and depended on his support to do the rest. The sup port of his work in the opening inning came in bunch of four base hits, and at that Birmingham could only get one runner across the plate. In the fourth inning again he let up in his speed, and was found for two hits, which, with charity base, brought in two more runs for the Coal Barons
 In the fifth inning Stewart settled down to work in earnest, and showed up thu Alabama aggregation in great shape. His drop ball, which Is about the slickest thing in the Southern League. was abso- lutely unsolvable, and player after play CT famed the wind. In thls inning he struck out Lawler Leidy and w. Smith in succession. His marvellous work has warmly applauded. In the sixth inning he struck out two men, in the eighth an- other and the ninth two more. Such box work Is seldom seen.
 | Birmingham began her scoring in the very first inning Lawler, who was first at bat, soaked out a single to left field. Leidy lifted a liner squarely over second base and Lawler tried to get around to third. Stanley fielded the hit like a fash and Lawler was killed at third Leidy went to second on the play, and a mo- ment later scored on W. Smiths hit to | left. Cavender was thrown out on an ln- | field hit and Brouthers singled to left ] putting Smith on third. The side was re- tired when Brouthers was caught nap ping. Score by innings; RHE.

4 PHENOMENAL
 SALE OF PIANOS
INCREASE IN THE BUSINESS OF THE CABLE COMPANY MAKES MOVE NEcEssARY-IN BlRMlNG. HAM LESS THAN 3 MONTHS.

October 1 Is recognized as moving day for all Birmingham. One of the chief firms which will make a change on this date Is The Cable Piano Company.
 About the first of May the Cable Com pany, who are the largest manufacturers of pianos and organs in the world. opened 8 store at POPS First avenue under the management of Mir. J. E. Shelby and in three months the business has so inereas- ed that larger quarters are already nec- essary. The merits of the Canover. Ca- ble and Kingsbury pianos were already known to the people of Alabama and they have fioclSed to the store eager of the opportunity to purchase there the well known pianos at factory prices.
 MT. Shelby is a hustler and the results of his efforts are already apparent from the fact that larger quarters are nee essary. On the first of October the store will be moved to 2o0S First avenue, which room the company has leased for num- Der of years and this will afford them ample room and will also be one of the best locations in the city. The store which is at present occupied by one of the lead ing jewellers will be thoroughly remodeled and will be made one of the finest plano show rooms i'll the south. The verandas which have so long been a conspicuous part of the building will be removed, an immense new plate glass front will be built and when completed this new plano store will be a model of beauty surpassed by none In the whole south.
 Such business enterprises as YIie Cable Company are the pride of the city, and the merits of the instruments they man. ufaeture and represent, coupled with the pluck and energy the manager is show ing will soon make the Cable familiar topic in every household in Alabama.
