Man in his efforts to obtain that
exclusive individual possession OF
wealth, toward which he is incessaEtlv
compelled by the primordial impulse
of self-preservation, expends in those
efforts the stored up energy already
under the dominion of his will. If we
consider the process we find that he
expends that energy in overcoming
adverse forces which stand between
him and access to the things endowed
with the power of beneficial service
cess of prod u C t o n, he expenGs
his energy in overcoming the adverse
forces of nature interposed between
him and the objects he seeks. These
obstacles over which man triumphs by
expending his own stored up energy.
may consist of form, or. space,
or i m e. He applies his energy to
the task of compelling it to change its
form to another capable of serving him
beneficially by supplying his needs
He expends his energy in transporting
it from distant point in space to an
other, where it becomes accessible to
him. He dries, or preserves, or cans,
or freezes it, in order to save it for
period of time in which it shall pos
sess the same capacity to serve him.
Let 1t be observed he1e that all en-
ergy thus expended in overcoming ad-
verse forces of nature, in all the pro-
Cesses above indicated, produce AS
their effect an increase in the
supply of wealth.
Seeing that it is an axiom of Sci
ence that all energy expended must
produce an effect somewhere, and that
no energy can be expended without
producing its proper result, it is vastly
important Eera-simple as it seems
TO note TIE fact that all human ener-
gy expended IN overcoming the ad-
verse forces of nature, in all the vari-
ous phases of production, reappears
under the form of supply OF

This seems 50 apparent, so self-evi
dent, that argument is superfuous.
Let no one hereafter, when it rises to
destroy some idol, repudiate it for the
sake of saving that idol.

MONTGOMERY AVERAGES.
Black Sox Continue Their Good Base
 hall Record

If the Black Sox had such pitchers as Hermann, Bailey and Russell of Nash vile and Partridge of Birmingham to go against all summer it is a matter of con lecture how high their batting averages would be at the end of the season.
 Since last Sunday the batting and field ing-individual and team-have taken a skyward flight in a manner that would put any airship out of business.
 Ike Durrett, the contract jumper, again leads both batting and fielding. He has been hitting like a flend having fifteen hits in his ten games with an average of .624. gain of 196 points since last Sun day Stickney Is second with eleven hits in the ten games and an average of 800, a gain of TO points.
 Durrett had seventeen chances without an error, while Whistler is a close second with ninety-five chance at first base and two rerors. Clarke Is next with only three errors in eighty-four chances. while chances; Kid Busch, forty-three chances and three errors and Spratt twenty-nine chances with three errors. This shows how fast the infield is working.
 In the three games that Oscar Streit has pitched only eleven hits have been made of him while he has struck out twenty-five batters and only given nine bases on balls. Hopkins has only given four bases on balls in his two games and struck oAt six batters. Polchow made most of his base on halls record ln the second game in Atlanta and since then his improvement has been wonderful. Harry Manners caught two innings oi Thursdays game in Birmingham, Lut as he was only once at bat and nothing els. he is not counted in the averages this morning.
 The averages including last Sunday game here with Birmingham--there was no Saturdays game-and including Fri days game in Birmingham are:

THAT SUNDAY GAME.
Montgomery Won It From Atlanta,
 9 to a.

There was another whirlwind finish Sunday. and the 2,O00 fans who braved the drizzling rain and sat shivering in the raw air of typical winters day saw an intensely exciting game, in which Montgomery won.
 That characteristic bulldog courage and never-say-die habit of the Black Sox came to the front and with the score 4 tied 1t in the seventh and won in the ninth. The distinctive feature of the game was the hard batting of Moles- worth, who rapped out a couple of two baggers and two singles out of four times up.
 Another feature that possibly equalled Molesworth's performance in brilliancy with the fans was Flanagan's home run in the last half of the fourth. It was his first appearance in Montgomery and his second game with the Black sox. Moles- worth had rapped out his second two- bagger of the game when Flanagan lifted the ball squarely over deep right field fence The scene that followed was in- describable. On right and left bleachers packed with people men sprang to their feet, cushions, hats. umbrellas and ev- erything obtainable went in the air. while in the grandstand 1t was the same with the men and ladies frantically waved dainty handkerchiefs and clapped dainty hands.
 While Jack Ely was hit pretty hard, still he never lost his head and pitched good. steady game, only giving three bases on balls and striking out five bat ters. Up to the eighth inning seven hits had been made eff Kennedy-a couple of wo-baggers by Molesworth, Whistler s two-bagger, Fsanagan's home run and five singles. And in the eighth AbPowell took him out of the box and substituted Vitters. This cost the Crackers the game five bases on balls in succession, forcins in run, while a wild pitch and singles by Molesworth and Kanzlisr put five more over.
 The Black Sox barely had time to dress catch the northbound Louisville and Nashville train and with the consent of Alb Powell the game was called at the end of thu eighth. with the score and in favor of Montgomery, though at the rate the locals were hitting they would have won anyway.
 The score is:

Brewton, May n.-tspecial. )-Kelly' s bunch of Oyster Grabbers suffered de feat at the hands of the Reds this af- ternoon in a fast exposition of ball play ing. In fact it was one of the snappiest games ever seen on the local diamond Wheeler, for the visitors, pitched mag nificent ball. striking out ten and giving no bases on balls. In the eighth inning, however, he went to the bad and by wild throw to third base let in two runs. C. Fritz for the Reds was in excellent form, striking out four men and giving no bases on balls. He had superb control through out the game.
 The features of the game were "Scrappy Martins catch of q fly, which looked like home run for Zieman: MoOre's magnifi- cent stop of d grcunder which robbed Walker of a hit.
 Duff batted 1000 per cent being up four times and getting three singles and a two-bagger.

When the last man out in the last half of the ninth inning mercifully put an end to the slugfest the fans at the matinee discov- cred that Nashville had swatted one George Stuitz for seventeen swats which. with eight errors by the Black Sox. gave Newts bunch sixteen scores.

In the eighth they did business with MT. Johnston in good. hard earnest. With six punched hits and some funny work by the Fisher men three runs went over the plate, put | ting the Black Sox closer to the Fisher men than at any other stage of the game
 This stopped the run getting for Mont 1 gomery and when those four runs were made by Nashville in the ninth 1t left the score Is and 7-not in favor of the Black | Eox.

Nashville. Tenn. May 11.-tspecial.)-
 Nashville took the first game of the series
 from Montgomery this afternoon by a
 score of 16 to !. Errors and ragged field
 ing on the part of the visitors supple
 mented by Stultz's off day at the slab,
 for the landslide. Stultz was wild and the campions secured no less than eigh-
 teen safe hits for a total of twenty-four
 bases. These, combined with eight bad errors by the visitors resulted in sixteen taliies for the champions. Four fast double plays, two by each team relieved the monotony to some extent and several other pretty plays drew forth the ap- played in the center garden for the Fishermen again demonstrated that he is made of the stuff which enters into

He ac- cepted every chance which came his way and his two hits. one of which was a beautiful drive to left center for three bags were largely instrumental in the run getting of the Fishermen. The field ing of the visitors was very ragged. Kan zlier at second booted three easy ones Busch made disastrous errors.
