the first heat on Thursday in the unfin-
ished 207 trot did not scare the follow
ers of Geers, and The Monk ruled about
25 to II against the field. Geers had little
difficulty in getting two heats and the
race, forcing Chainshot to a break 100
feet from the wire in the first heat of
the day and winning under a pull in the
second.
Reelected in the 2:14 trot, also unfinish-
ed yesterday, was favorite at about 25
to Is against the field with considerable
amount of money sprinl1led around on
Alice Carr and Alice Russell. Reelected
had won two heats but had hard time
to beat out Maiborne, who challenged
Kim in the last sixteenth and lost by
only a neck. Track slow and weather
fair.
Geers narrowly escaped injury in scor-
ing for the third time with Prince of
Orange. The horse reared and lifted the
sulky. When it came down Geers' weight
bent 1t and he stepped out just in time
to control the horse.

MINERS WANT PROTECTION.
Tennessee Men Want Laws Made
Stringent Regarding Mines.

Knoxville, August S.-The feature of to-
days convention of the United Mine
Workers of District No. 10 was the adop-
ton of resolutions bearing upon three
explosions which have occurred in the
Tennessee mines in the last sixteen
months, causing the deaths or 800 men.
The resolutions charge that mine
catastrophes are usually due to inefficient
mine management, knowing, wilful and
malicious violation of mining laws and
the placing of cheap and inefficient men
in charge of mines.
The mine workers demand laws making
1t compulsory for all mine foremen and
fire bosses to pass rigid examinations.
They also want fire bosses employed in
all mines whether faseous or not They
further demand that the state mine in
spector pass a rigid examination before
appointed instead of his office being pure
ly political one.

From Judge.
John Smith number one stole one chick
en-. He was sent to jail for thirty
days.
While there he reformed and became
another man. He became John Smith
number two.
John Smith number two >organized a
chicken trust took two million chick
ems as his fee for organizing it, and
sold the chickens when the market was
at its highest.
Thus he was enabled to endow a jail
with library.

Reddy Gilligan, they thank you-the
fans Of Birmingham who are jubilant
over the victory you gave the Coal
Barons yesterday. Your error and dumb
playing at second caused your team to
lose. but still Con strothers cannot kick
for you did well with about three excep-
tions. These three he may charge to his
hard-luck column-a column Birmingham
has been making use of very much this
season.
But It is back to the mines" now to
that column, for the hoodoo is broken.
and the fans will see continuous victory
perch upon the brows of the new Ba-
rons. Today Chattanooga will again bite
the dust before the B"-breasted DULLES,
and next week other teams will follow
suit From now on the team will take
long strides in getting away from the
bottom of the list.
Hutton, the new first baseman. made
his advent with the breaking of the hoo
doc and played a good steady game. He
had ten chances without an error and at
the bat hit two safeties out of four times
up. On the coaching line he was in the
game from the beginning, ana altogether
pleased the fans.
Fast Double Plays.
In the first inning yesterday the first
three up for Birmingham were retired.
Chattanooga received the same treat
ment. In the second inning the first three
also went out Two were caught on a fast
double play by Myers. Gilligan and Mil
Ter. For Chattanooga the same fate was
DIESEL, Lawler and Hutton. In the thiro
Chattanooga again failed to score.
Birmingham made two runs in her part
of the third. DIESEL went out from Bru-
ner to Miller, but Retz walked. He went
to second on an error while Deaver hit
safe and both scored on hits by Lawler
and Leidy. w. Swith went to first while
.Lawler was being caught at home. Cav
ender walked and the bases were full
with two out Brown came up but the
best he could do was to hit a long fly
to Durrett
Chattanooga Scores.
In the fifth Chattanooga made her first
run. With one out Spratt hit a long
fly to left field for three bags. Roth
followed with one to the same place for
two bags. but the next two were made
outs and a scare passed over In the sew
enth Birmingham made four runs Reitz
first up, hit safe. but Deaver struck out.
Iawler was called safe at first by Gill;

the bases were filled. Billie Smith made
mighty jabs three times and sat down.
but Lavender hit to right field and three
men scored as the ball passed Brennan.
Brown hit for two bases and Lavender

caught and the side retired.
In the eighth Chattanooga made two
runs. Roth walked and stole second.
Bruner hit safe and stole second. Moles-
worth hit safe and Roth scored. Myers

latter threw a fly to Reitz.

VIII be made to the officials of the COM
pany.
The railroaders state that they per-
form hard work and have to work
twelve hours per day for wages that
other workmen must work only ten
hours FOR, and in many instances few

posed of employees of the road only, and
when the officials of the road treat with
the committee they are talking to en-
ployes only, as is the case when the
men on the Pennsy make any demands
