Food for the Fans.

1t was a rotten exhibition on both sides,
but the lest teams never fail to have Oft
days.
A pleasing improy enent since Wilhelm
ara Lauzon took charge OF the team is
the way the Berons run bases. They had
eight stolen sacks to their credit yes
to-day.
Miller, the new left fielder, shows plen-
ty of ginger. and he is not afraid to take
chances en- the bases.
Birmingham has won three straight
games. his is cause for great rejoicing
when there was not a single victory in
thirteen games.
In view of the fact that President
Nicklin has ordered st. Vrain not to
pitch in any more Southern League
games, the decision of the umpire award
ing the game yesterday to Memphis by
the score of 9 to 0. looks as though 1t
would not stand close inspection.
Freddy" Gilligan says that with good
luck he will play with every team in
the Southern League. The season Is
young yet but "Reddy'' has already Of
ficiated with three turns
Miller showed up well in left field yes
terday. and made good impression.
Out of three times up he made two hits.
one for three bases. Before he came he
was herald as good base stealer. He
not only stole two bases but he seemed to
inspire the rest of the team with a de-
sire to land in the stolen base record.
Birmingham is credited with a total of
stolen bases. This is more purloined
bags than Is to the credit of the team
for the last half dozen games.
The game at Memphis yesterday is not
count ed in the Age-Herald standing of
clubs.
Birmingham at last moved out of the
seventh position and is now one higher
in the standing. Six points ahead OF
Shreveport and 166 points behind Atlanta.
Memphis goes ahead of Atlanta into
fourth place with a difference between
the two clubs of only one point.
Two of LAWYERS errors were of the ex-
cusable order. The sun was directly In
his eyes, and he could not see the ball.
Sam Brown was feeling badly yester-
day, but at that he cut the Mountaineera
off at second in great style.

New York, June 30-Trim as a summer
girl in her daintiest bathing suit, the
Mayhower lies in the Brooklyn navy
yards the official yacht of the United

undergoing alterations that cost $4,000,
she is ready for sea as one of the most
luxuriously appointed vessels afioat She

date Of her sailing from the navy yard
has not yet been settled.
In designing such a palace for use of
the President, the United States departs
somewhat from the old lines of Jefferson

other world powers In the matter of
naval luxury. Neither the Hohenzollern
nor any of the other royal yachts has
staterooms and salons more beautifully
or costly than those of the Presidents
yacht.
The Presidents quarters are situated
aft on the main deck, and include six
staterooms for the exclusive use of HIM
self, Mrs. Roosevelt and their children
The two larger of these sta,erooms have
tention has been given to the decoration
Of the bulkheads and the paneling, which
are covered with expensive silk in many
colors.
The smoking-room occupies the after
portion of the spar deck, and is finished
in teak, with a floor of fancy woods in
laid In mosaic and waxed. Many cane
chairs and sofas add to the comfort to
be had in this room.
Behind the officers quarters below the
main deck is the Presidents dining sa-
Ion. 1t extends the width of the ship,
and is furnished in white and gold Louis
XIV. style.
Running aft is the companionway to
the Presidents reception room Some of
the panels along this companion way are
made with a silver paint to represent
steel. In the reception room the white
and gold effect is still carried out.
Leading down to the berth deck is a
me gnificent mahogany stairway that
gives entrance to the Presidents private
suite. There arc two large s,atcrooms
four smaller ones and two bathrooms
On the port side just outside the Presi-
dents room Is his private bath The tub
is cut from solid block of fine mar

Besides the arrangement made for the
comfort of the President ard his family
in the living and sleeping apartments
aboard extensive plans were made to
give him the benefit OF the most i'm
proved culinary and sanitary contriv-
ances. There is q large refrigcrating
plant In the forward Fart of the vessel
near the dining salon. Nothing has been
left undone to make the Mayfiower a
fit habitatiop for the ruler Of wealthy
