ALocAL CORONATION.
A Representation in Clothing Store Show Window Is Unique and At tractive.

The general public of Birmingham will have neither an opportunity to view the coronation of King Edward nor King Alphonse, but a striking coronation scene, vivid with colors, may, be looked upon in one of the most unique show windows in the city The scene pictures no monarch of royal blood, but repre- sents only such a ruler as the republi- can people of this country will allow. Numerous such may exist in any line of endeavor. The one in Birmingham, though, is the clothing king.
 The show window where this repre- sentation is given is one of the two at J. Blach & Sons store on First avenue. In the rear of the window rising to the top are three deep arches finished with soft velvet in maroon with trimmings of green and gilt. They are supported by four onyx-fi finished columns and stand out from background of light green. About the arches are several electric globes supported by cherubs, while from the center arch cupids swing out with a crown to be presented to the clothing king who occupies a royal throne under this broad arch. Just in front of the king are two young guards with drawn swords, both dressed in blue tights.
 The effect of the window is heightened by numerous palms. many white cupids attached to the arches and the pure white lily and carpenters square, trade mark of the store. The cherubs and all the plaster work is the handiwork of the window dresser, MT Thomas M. Fin hey In his workshop this young man made the drawings for the window and molded each part to suit his own taste, which reflects much credit ,upon him. The result Is very striking and attracts much attention from every passer by.

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

Memphis. June -(SpeciaD-Birming- ham lost the second of the series by the same score as yesterdays game. It took the locals just eighty-two minutes to prove their superiority over the visitors and the game will go on record as one of the fastest of the season. Weak stick work, gross errors and negligence were responsible for the defeat of the Ala bamians F. Smith and w. Smith dropped fly balls which they got under with few strides.
 Sample, recently let out by Nashville, pitched against Denver. In the early innings the Birmingham team did not experience any trouble in connecting with Sample but with men on bases in the first and second they allowed golden opportu- mites to score to pass by and lost what ever chances they had to win by stupid base running in which w. Smith and Dowie were thrown out at the plate.
 Smith Started Batting.
 w Smith started the game by single. Uhler sacrificed. LaRocque singled. but Smith was kept at third. Brown hit to Williams who threw Smith out by several feet at the plate. F. Smith ended with a fly to Gilligan.
 Another opportunity to score was thrown away in the second. Blue reached first on Samples tumble. Dowie singled. Leahy sacrificed both forward base and Blue scored when Sample fumbled Dea- ver's grounder. Denver stole second but Dowie got caught in chase and was put out.
 Nine Memphisans faced Denver In the fifth and four scored. Accorsini dumped one towards Dowie but the veteran side stopped. Samples bunt also went to Dowie but little effort was made to field 1t. Gfroerer smashed at the same point and the bases were filed A hit by Gill; ligan, F. Smiths huff of Lauson's pop up and Valdois' fly to Brown which Leahy, Brown and LaRocque let drop be- tween them netted four runs.
 Gfroerer's pass, a steal. a sacrifice and Swacina's single let in the fifth and last local run. The Birmingham team tonight received considerable shaking up. La- Rocque was traded to Memphis for Lau- zon. The latter. 1t is said, was out here ''too much for Bohemianism." Lauzon will play with Birmingham tomorrow.

The sight was novel and interesting to the assembled spectators, and thsre was considerable enthusiasm aroused before the last three events had been completed.
 The yelping of dogs on the field and the anxious whines of those tugsing at their collars took the old sports back to the days of fox hunting, and many yells were turned loose that had been cornered for the last twenty years.
