He was receiving his try out and tonight was purchased by Manager Powell and will pitch for the remainder of the sea- sen. although but 1T years of age, Brown seems to have speed, control and plenty of curves, in the first inning, Smith was very wild and backed up by a couple of errors and a wild pitch, allowed three runs to score. Montgomery received his tally off a free pass and Atz scored off a tbeat out bunt and stanley's run was made off an error by Frank Smith.

Brown Got Busy.

In the sixth the Coal Barons did few things to young Brown. Brown of Bir- mingham hit one down to third, landed safe on an error by Bennett, stole sec ond, and scored when Cavender sailed a beauty into the right field bleachers for a home run. It was 8 clean line drive and travelled a mile. The crowd in the stand gave Cavender a very generous greet ing as he trotted in from third.
 In the previous inning Cavender raced to the very end of left field, jumped and clearly robbed Bob Stafford of a two-bag- ger It was one of the most sensational and difficult catches seen this season.
 In the fourth Brown singled, advanced on Blues infield hit and scored from third when Herbert made bad throw to that bag to catch Brown mapping.
 In the last inning Deisel, who stin holds many friends here, hit one down to short, landed safe on a tumble that followed, and worked double steal with F. Smith, who received a free pass to first; then Deisel scored when Herbert made bad throw to first.
 In the ending Of the seventh Brown was put out of the game for kicking against <eefe's decision on strikes. The score of the game was as follows:

How NdVieS of the World
Will Compare in Year 1906

From the German naval year book
eor 1902, commonly called "The Nauti-
GUS" is taken the following summary
Of the navies Of the world according
20 the latest statistics. To enable the
-eader to draw proper comparison
between England and the other pow
srs the year 1906 is selected, when the
French and Russian programs will be
carried out, as well as the new addi-
.ions voted in other states this year.
Only battle-ships and large cruisers
Of over 5000 tons which were not
launched prior to 1882 and 1884 re-
spectively are taken into considera-
lion. According to this reckoning, in
1906 England will have fifty-seven
battleships, fifty-two Of them over 1O,-
900 tons, with an aggregate displace-
ment 765,650 tons, and seventy
large cruisers, twenty-nine protected,
with an aggregate displacement of
548,440 tons. France will have thirty
two battleships, twenty-three over TO-
OU0 tons, totaling 349,72O tons, and
twenty-eight cruisers, twenty-three

this result. While the yawn is sup

being true, it is easily within a mans
power to cure the hiccoughs by resort

yawning. OF course I cannot say that.
in all cases of hiccoughs the yawn
will prove a good remedy. But be-
