 Great Style-out Practicing.

Delehanty and Kruger, two infielders frcm Ashtabula, Ohio, who have been signed by the Birmingham management reported for duty yesterday. They were put practicing yesterday afternoon ana showed up In fine form. They are both fast in1clders and throw beautifully. Their batting ability has not been tested as yet. They have been playing indepen- dent ball. and Clark Armour manager of the Cleveland team, says they are the two most promising youngsters he has yet seen MT. Shepherd of the local associa- tior has been in Ohio for several days looking for players, and he bagged the two young men. whom he brought home with him.
 Delahanty Is a brother of the third baseman playing with Little Rock, and the big leaguer with Washington. Kruger is shortstop and is quick as lightning, while Delehanty covers territory around second in great style Both the new play CTS will play here Monday. and with the addition of George Mcconnell the infield will be composed of entirely new faces to Birmingham fans. There will be seven teen players with the Coal Barons when they reach home, and out of this number the management expects to land a win ming team.

B SsEME7 DEFEATS
 BIRMINGHAM ELKS
Antlered Tribes From Jefferson's Two Domains Put Up a Magnificent
 Game to an Enormous Crowd.

The Bessemer Elks invaded the fields of Birmingham yesterday afternoon and went off with scalp hanging to their belts. They defeated the local antlered tribe by a score of 13 to 2.
 The game was brilliant throughout and kept the scorer guessing as to which took the lead in errors or hits. The in- fielders showed no special inclination to pick up grounders and the outfelders didn't dare to catch a fly. Umpire Burke arrived on the field with four pistols and bunch of knives and was prepared for all corners. He had no occasion to use his weapons however, as the Birmingham team had more than 90 chances to win. His decisions were satisfactory Neither side knew the exact location of the ball when it came over the plate, and some thing was the matter with the bats. The local sporting goods dealers had many kicks registered on both their bats and mits. The bats were full of holes which allowed free passage of the balls and the mits would not hold the ball. The play CTS were not to blame, as they put up their hands every time, but the bum mits simply wouldn't hold the ball.
 It being Friday, the 18th. the Birming- ham players knew they had no chance to win and this unlucky omen is solely re- sponsible for their defeat. Of course the playing of Bessemer helped some, but there was no use trying. They were up , against it.

TWELVE HORSES TO
 START IN SUBURBAN
Horses That Have Figured as Phe. nomenal Racers Have All Been
 Eliminated-List of Starters.

New York, June 13.-Twelve horses are named to start in the suburban tomorrow. They embrace the pick of the great hand horses that have figured as phenomenal racers have all been eliminated. Blue Girl and Water Color will not start. This gives every starter a chance for the SS000 prize
 Those to face the flag their jockeys and the odds laid against their chances to- night are:
 Gold Heels, 124 (Wonderly) to l.
 Blues, 124 (Shaw) to l.
 Herbert. 121 (Odom) even. Advance Guard, 1l9 (Burns) to 1.
 Roe Hampton, 11T (Brennan) 20 to L
 Reina, IA co Connor). 25 to l.
 Trigger, 1l6 (Buchanan) 75 to l.
 Water Cure. III (Doggett) 30 to l.
 Monograph, 100 (Shea) 20 to l.
 Contend, 99 tCochran) F to l.
 Pentecost 99 (Redfern) s to l.
 Saddle s, 9S (McGovern) 20 to l.
 There were showers tonight with prom ises of more rain. Under the soaking of Wednesday the track of the Coney Is- land Jockey Club became stiff and hard with top of lumpy mud. Yesterday it was lightning fast. A little rain will tm- prove it, while heavy showers will mean slippery going and decrease the chances of long striding horses like Advance Guard and Blues.
 Blues will have little chance of meet ing the interference his packers dread. Gold Heels Is the most favored as a pos sble winner.
 But those who have heard John Mad den's opinion of Pentecost give Gold Heels no chance to defeat the 3-year-old. Pentecost works with Colonel Bill, an- other of Maddens wonders. and 1t is said runs away from Colonel Bill at any time and at any distance. Colonel Bill defeat cd Gold Heels in decisive style.
 Advance Guard probably will be the post fayorite. Contend is the dark horse. After breaking the record for mile and eighth at Gravesend. he has not been heard from. His tremendous speed is un- questioned, put his ability to go mile and quarter. and his courage to meet the desperate challenge of such horses as Advance Guard and Herbert is ser iously questioned. Herbert and Water Cure are the horses mud Is expect ed to help. No one but her immediate follow ing considers that Reina can carry twelve additional pounds and repeat her defeat of Advance Guard in the Brook lyn handicap. Trigger is a very small horse with a smaller chance to win. The final trials of the suburban can- didates were made on muddy track Pentecost and Gold Heels finished strong The time made was Gold Heels 2;09h Blues 2:10 1-5 Pentecost 2:11A: Herbert 2:111a; Reina, who has shown strong dis like for mud, 2:1S; Monograph one and one-half miles 246 Burns will probably ride Advance Guard

6RADST7EET'S REVIEW.

New York. June 13.--Bradstreet' review of trade tomorrow will say:
 Labor troubles clouded the outlook but good crop prospects fairly well assure future trade. The effects of the anthra- cite coal strike are no longer localized. It affects distributively trade in a wider area and higher prices for fuel reduced the profits of manufacturers generally throughout the east Crop prospects are not of course perfect. but are little less than that Confidence in fall trade seems to be growing. Export business. notably In manufactured goods. is certainly inn proving. Cotton goods and copper min eral oils and lumber are all moving free ly Cereals. provisions and raw cotton shipments in May were, however smaller than q year ago. The rail traffic outlook Is apparently of the best The cruder forms of iron and steel are apparently in undimlnished demand. Finished products, though noting quieting influences of the season. are in quite active request. Trade In boots and shoes and wooden goods dis play a better tendency The scarcity of hides keeps prices firm. Shipments are three per cent larger than last week, but g per cent less than year ago.
 Fdrm prouuctS StTengtneneO Stlll 1ar- ther during the latter part of the week. Sugar reflected the active demand for the past two weeks for canning pur- poses in a fractional advance. The peach crop outlook is good. Coffee struck what is practically the lowest price record this year. Labor troubles at the beginning of June reduced the pig iron output. but the outlook for the month as a whole, is for a heavy pro- duction. Implement manufacturers have been free bidders for pig iron this week. for delivery in the first and second quarters of next year. and some large contracts for structural materials. bridge work and tunnel construction have been placed Imports of pig iron and steel are increasing. Activity is less noticeable in tin plates. sheets and wire and there Is a perceptible quieting down reported in vomc lines of hardware. The feature in the dIygoods market has been the im- proved recorder business. reported by eastern and western jobbers. Summer fabrics being especially called for.

ELECTRICITY FOR STEAM.
Purchase of Plant in Massachusetts
 Has Much Behind 1t.

New York. June 13-In connection with the acquisition of the Stanley Electric Manufacturing Companys plant at Pitts burg, Mass. by William c. Whitney and his associates, the Tribune says there is back of the purchase a purpose to eX- ten the works with the aid of Gang & Co.,. of Budapest, one of the largest electrical concerns in Europe, for the pur- pose of converting steam railroads in this country into electric roads, The substitu- ton of electricity for steam is not, &C., cording to the Tribune, expected to be entered upon at once, but later wherever there is a congestion of traffic on the steam roads In the East, 1t Is believed thore will be a displacement of the loco- motive by the electrical engines
 It is further asserted that at least fifty locomotive building concerns in the Uni- ted States will be brought into the enter- prize.

 Memphis, June 13-(SpeciaD-Ten men faced Pitcher Lipp in ,he first inning of today's game and half of them scored. That in brief tells the story of Birming- hams defeat in the first of the series. Lipp started the inning by passing Gfroerer, and Gilligan bunted towards LaRocque. No one covered the base and Gilligan beat 1t out. Lauzon, Swacina. Valdois and Lipp followed with safe drives and Lipp passed Williams and hit Lipe. Lipp complained to Umpire Ghio several times on the classification of several balls which Lipp thought were over the plate, but Lipp had little control and the locals won In the initial round
 Lipp settled down after the first in- nirg and pitched so effectively that the locals made but two additional hits and one run. which G-.'oerer made in the eighth inning. After reaching first on Leahy's error, Gfroerer scored on Lau- zon's three-bagger. Red Ehret was in the way of Birmingham runs till the eighth, when baRocque reached first on Yaldois' error, was advanced to second by Camp bell and scored on Blues two-bagger, which was one of the longest hits ever seen here. F. Smith, who had been given his base on balls, also scored. Blue might have made home run but stum- bled after hitting the ball, and was thrown out just before he reached third base
 The Alabamians opened the final inning with rally, which availed nothing. Brown batted for Leahy and reached first on Valdois' error. Lipp singled, and wild pitch advanced Brown to third w. Smith and Haller struck out, and the game ended when LaRocque hit a grounder to Lipe, which forced Lipp out at second. Less than 800 people witnessed the game. which was featureless, except for LaRocques catch of Williams fy back of first. which saved two runs. and tast double play in the fifth inning when three Memphians were on bases.

BUSINESS SHOWS
 NJ DIM|NUT|ON Labor Controversy Has Not Affected General Trade
ACTIVITY IN IRON MARKET I
Contracts Running Far Ahead Indicate That There Is No lul-Bradstreet and Dun Are Still Very
 Optimistic.

New York June 13.-R. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review of trade tomorrow will lay:
 There has been no diminution in busi- ness from labss controversies. owing to he prosperous condition of agricultural lections and the bright outlook for this years crops. Retail distribution of light weight wearing apparel has felt the stim- llus of higher temperature. Railway earnings in May were s7 per cent larger than last year and 21.7 per cent above those of 1900.
 There continues to be a wide discrep- lncy between the amount of business off, tered and the contracts closed in many branches of the iron and steel industry owing to inability of producers to assure
 delivery at a specified time. Contracts running well into next year indicate that
 the end of activity is not near. Pressure Is still most conspicuous for railway and structural supplies. and agricultural inn plement works are crowded with orders. Limited stocks are still the cause of steadiness in all branches of textiles Holders are now urging sales and buyers show disposition to wait Purchasers of cotton goods are influenced by the prospect of cheaper raw material after the new crop begins to move Cotton rose slightly on a few unfavorable weather reports, out the outlook is very bright in many states. Tardy deliveries of sam pie pieces by the wooden mills has caused complaint among the clothiers. and fall orders are not placed freely. Wool sells more freely at leading eastern markets and quotations are steady. No change of importance has occurred in leather. Hides are again strong. with Texas steers lead inG the market and foreign dry hides do not yield to lower bids
 The grain markets have shown the eff Feet oi conflicting crop estimates and weather reports. Failures for the week numbered l62 in the United States against l79 last year, and 20 in Canada, compared with 23 a year ago.
