AT LAST.
Pulaski Pounds Collins And
Gets In The Percentage
Column. - Decatur Also
Wins a Game.

Pulaski won her first league game
SATURDAY. anu the crowd cheered them
when they wound it up with fast
double play While the game was won
by consistent hitting at the proper
time. IL was not so clean-cut as the
fans like to see, for the reason that
the umpire had an off day. Up till
Saturday Bell had done good work
here, but in the last game his de-
cisions were unsatisfactory to both
sides.
The visiting club seemed to have
recovered their nerve, which mad been
sadly lacking previously, and started
out to win from the jump, four hits in
the first inning bringing in three
runs. In Columbia's half the trouble
began. Clapp knocked a beauty to
right, which brought Fisher home
from first; but the umpire, TO the
amazement of everybody called it n
foul Clapp went back to the bat
and raped out single. but Palmer
made an easy out, retiring the side.
In the fourth, Motley reached first on
an error and Merrill brought him In
with d hit which was too fast for Saw
yer to handle. In the fifth Spencer
was safe on grounder to second,
and scored on an out. Columbia made
her last run and lost her last chance to
win the game In the eighth. Clapp
again hit safely, Palmer hunted and the
ball rolled fair, Clapp reaching third
by fast sprinting. but the umpire fouled
again and saw fit to send them back.
Palmer made another nit. Smiser.
Motley and Merrill all Reached first on
a com bination of slow infield hits and
errors. scoring Clapp, and forcing
Palmer at third. Collins then came
to the bat and sent up little fly,
and Motley, thinking that two were
out, allowed Pualski to maize double
play. Gilbert's good work scored one
in the sixth, when he made a hit, stole
third ana scored on McBrlde's single.
In the seventh he brought In two
more runs with double and won his
own game.

A Profitable Son.

Concerning our "Old Wash story
few days ago. Trotwood was telling a
good one ON the old man this morn
ing. The beauty of the old man s
yarns is that he is never conscious OF
having said anything original.
Saturday, "Old Wash went into
Chaffln Bros. grocery with big roll
of money. AS 1t was an unusual sight
tor the old man to have dollar, MIR.
Chaffin was astonished. The old man
literally had money to burn. At seems
that some time ago the old mans son
ran off and went to work az porter
on q pullman car. Coming home
this week he brought all his wages
to "Old Wash,' ana the old mans
pockets stuck out accordingly. Where
did you get all that money from, Wash.

ANOTHER OPEN LETTER TO
WOMEN FROM SISTER KATE

After all, is it only applied christianity
which counts for much in this world.
No matter how full of theories a man
may be, if he makes no practical appli-
cation of them, we cannot have faith IN
his religion. So, no matter how much
we teach the ten commandments to our
little ones and repeat them for our own
spiritual good what faith can an out
slider have in the christian religion I'M
less we practice the truths we teach?
Let's proceed to apply, in the most
practical manner, the words of the
fourth commandment; spend the day,
and help others to spend 1T, in rest from
every day work and worry, and in spirit
ual invigoration. Get double supply
of ice and meat tomorrow, and prepare
as much as possible of your Sunday
dinner
Nothing would delight me more than
to know that my thoughts along this
line find ready response in your
hearts, and that it may be proven by the
increased business of the meat and ice
man tomorrow, and the lessening of his
la Dor on Sunday.

this great quartet failed to get from two
10 four hits piece. John Holman. il
Is said had as much speeI as Niekens,
while Bob Williams could throw more
strange, deceptive curves than any
body.
The second team Of the REDS" was
perhaps the greatest base ball nine that
ever played outside of the big leagues.
1t was not composed, as Was the first
team, of all home men, but it gradually
grew faster by going out after fast men
from distance, just as Manager Will
kins' team has expanded this season.
The last Reds was composed of HUFF,
Lee Young and Manion, catnhers, Sulli-
van, Petty and John Mani n pitchers,
Capehart, lst base, Harry howard, 2nd
base, John Taylor, short, Sullivan and
Petty alternated at third, Jim Fender,
left field, one of the catchers in center,
and Bob billiard, right, j. NJ. Shep-
pard, Jr., manager. OF this great ar
ray of diamond artists, three men after
wards became stars of the first magni
tude. Petty went to the National LEAGUE,
with the New York Giants; John Tsy-
lor went to the Southern league, and
Harry Howard went to the Texas
and California leagues. This team
was invincible and never lost but one
series of games, and that was in Hender-
son, KY, when the boys said they we're
robbed. And pluck? Well. they had
it. If they did not get hit for six in.
rings in game it never bothered them.
They playtd the game all the time. On
one occasion. the Vanderbilt University
Team came down from Nashville and
mad the boys shut out IL to until the
last half of the eighth inning, when the
Reds" came in and in the next two
innings batted out the victory.
Those were great base ball days in
Columbia. The game has undergone
m any changes since then and so has the
town, but future generations of Colum-
bia fans will have the story OF the IA
nous old Columbia "Reds" achieve
ments told them by their elders, aid
will listen with batted breath to hear
how Judge Holding caught and Jim
Pender and Bob billiard and Lee Young
slugged.

Last Fridays Game.

Columbia took the fourth straight
game from the babies" Friday
by score of 6 to 3. The game was
played in orizzling rain, which made
the grounds very sloppy. Considering
this fact the game was remarkable
one for good work done on both sides.
Base stealing was practically impos-
sible.
Weaver pitched fine game for
Pulaski until the eighth inning, when
a combination of hits Melted Columbia
three runs and the game.
Pulaski made her three runs in the
fifth, on four hits in succession by Gill
bert, Reed, Wright and Weaver.

BIG OIL GUSHER
ON SOUTH HIGH.
Great Deal of Excitement IN Columbia
Thursday Caused by a Blast. =
Standard Oil Co Interested.

Since pearls and phosphate and other
precious stones have been discovered in
Maury county, there are lots of people
who would not be the least bit surprised
if Mt. Parnasus should turn out to be a
gold mine, or if 400 carat diamonds
should be shoveled out of Little Bigby
creek. The fact is, there is nothing too
good to come out of the soil OF old
Maury: and things Of this sort have a
way of happening so often around this
vicinity that the story, at times, be-
comes little monotonous.
Late Thursday afternoon a report
spread over town that blast set off
somewhere on South High street had
opened up an oil yusher, which was
throwing a stream of crude petroleum
about twenty five to seventy-five feet in
the atmosphere.
The report, of course, created good
deal of excitement, but great many
received it with sort of "I-told-you-
so' air. Quite number of excited
people rushed over to view the gusher,
while others who live out beyond the
South High street underpass began to
arrange for row boats in which to row
through the underpass to their homes
The Standard Oil Co.'S. man began a
still hunt for the owners of the prop
erty, so as to secure options on it for the
octopus, but he found that the property
had been presented to the L. 4 N rail
road by the city administration as token
of their esteem and to cement their
friendship, a la "Tweedle. punch" OF
Flor ,dora fame.
Every body rejoiced over the gusher,
and citizens began shaking hands with
each other over the prospect of putting
BEAUMONT, Tex, out OF business. In
the course Of an hour or so, however,
that fancy picture faded and hopes fell
with dull sickening thud. 1t was
found that the blast set off, instead OF
opening up an oil gushei, opened up a
water main of the Water Company and
the water, being thick with choice Duck
River mud, deceived the eyes OF the
workmen, who makined they saw all
the various colors OF oil on the same.
While the outcome was disappointing,
il was some qualification to know that
the water company has force enough
behind 1t to shove Duck River mud

Huntsville. Ala. Aug. 1.-THE
officers of Tennessee and Alabama
League are considering the ACCESSIBILITY
of asking Pulaski to draw out of the
league TO make way for Gadsden.
Pulaski's team does not draw crowds
at home or IN any of the other towns,
while on the contrary. Gadsden people
give their team liberal patronage and
the team will be strong enough to give
a good account of itself in any town of
the league. This is business propo-
sition and 1t appears likely that the
change will be made without delay.

THE BABY" ACT.
Pulaski Team Puts Up a Disgusting
exhibition of Base Ball.
Because They Cant Beat Columbia
They Were Very Sore Bridges
Shut Them Out.

The first game of the Tenuessee-Ala-
bama league at Riverside Park Thurs
day was magnificent contest until the
eighth inning when the Pulaski play
ers. acting under the instructions OF
"sheep" Sawyer, their captain, turned
it into a miserable force. Chagrined
at their inability to beat Columbia,
Sawyer, instructed his men not to try
to play ball. They obayed him and did
not try to put Columbia out, purposely
muffing flies, fumbling grounders and
dropping thrown balls. Seven unearn-
ed runs were piled up. 1t is said that
Sawyers remarked that il "they couldn' t
beat Wilkins team, they could kill
his crowds" and that was the reason
he gave the orders he did. Ii this can
be proven on Sawyers he ought to be
fred out OF the league and blacklisted
The league doesn't need such men as
that in it.
Bridges shut them out. He struck
out seven men and gave up only five
hits. Mcbride pitched better game
than Bridges until the sixth inning
when Columbia solved his curves for
five straight hits-one of them double
and it was all off. while Bridges grew
better as the game progressed, and
after the fourth inning he was irwin
chile. Pulaski got men to third three
times.

advice to young women: IL believe in
athletic girls to the point that makes
women strong physically, but don t
like to see man-girl with no thoughts
OF home or domestic life Take the
advice of a rough adviser, such as
am, and give the great part of your
sound health and physical perfection
to a little home somewhere. I often
think that we men might be better
men sometimes if the others did lit
tie more to make our home more
pleasant. Society takes up so much
time now that homa suffers. don't

keep his home and make it pleasant,
and the other to attend to the social
functions, which are so numerous now.

DOUBLE. HEADER TROUBLE.

The Great Northern trainmen
are now being polled on the ques-
tionof ordering a strike to compel
the road to give the Montana men
double pay whenever two loco
motives are hitched to one train
insgoing over the mountains. In
other words, to establish the rule
that whenever two locomotives
are attached to one train, the
whole crew shall receive double
paw. it being the intention OF the
committee to compel the road to
reduce the number of cars to an
average of thirty to each locomo-
tive, and after that has been
done. ifthe gradients of the track
require two engines, even for
thirty cars, then there shall also
be required two sets Of conduct
ors and brakemen or their equiv
alent in pay for those who are
employed.
Itwould seem to an unbiased
observer that Mr.. Ward, who
is an amiable but auDurn-halred
Il T..
young man, has the best OF the
argument. And it is at least evil
dent from the disputes had be-
tween Mr.. Ward and the train

is hardly Of sufficient Importance

the system, with all it's disas-
trious consequences.

ment of the country which at
traverses than any other IN the
