Beginning with today the Southern League baseball season has a life of four weeks. During these trying times the Iron Makers will play twenty-four games and if large majority or these contests develop into victories Birmingham will finish well up in the first division.
 The baseball race is now reaching its critical period and game won or lost means much to the hard fighting clubs. At present all the western clubs are in the first division with the exception of New Orleans. which is practically out of the running. The western teams now start on the eastern circuit and by los- ing majority of their games in two weeks the race will be exceedingly warm Birmingham and Montgomery are less than 100 points behind Memphis and a few games won by these two clubs, and those from the pennant chasers, will cause an awful shake up in the stand ing.
 Little Rock and Shreveport both expect to take a drop on their eastern trip and consequently the eastern clubs will go up the ladder.
 | Then comes the fatal farewell trip for the customers and the war will be end- ed Birmingham has always had bad luck on her western trip. but with her present corps of pitchers and improve ment in hitting there is no reason why the Iron Makers should not at least make an even break of 1t.
 Shreveport plays in Birmingham today and her chances for the pennant will probably be decided in this series. If Bir- mingham should take the three games the club will have percentage of .50O. while Shreveport will take drop. | It is Clarl1's time to pitch for Birming- ham, but it Is not known definitely whether Manager O'Brien will work his men in regular order, as is usual. If he does Crabell will pitch tomorrow and Frank Smith takes a turn Wednesday.
 Jimmy O'Brien is fast rounding into shape again and 1t is possible that he will play in one of the games before the end of the week.
 The game this afternoon will be called promptly at o'clock.

Steadness of Cotton Has No Effect
 on Cloth Market.

Manchester, August 23.-The eompara- tive steadiness of cotton had no apparent effect in developing business on the cloth market last week, many operators waiting for estimates of the coming crop There was some increase in the life and movement of the market during the earl fer days of the week, but business later dropped again Into dullness. Offers from India for good shiftings were reported ito be nearer practical prices, though )these latter have been strengthened late ly by the stoppage of the looms.
 Business for China has not materially improved, though it was better than on Indian account Transactions for the Levant and the various Mediterranean ports were almost at standstill, owing to the political unrest In the near east.
 With regard to yarns, some spinners found a rather better demand for home made twists and were able to insist on better rates for small quantities. Ger tain counts of American wefts are get ting scarce, and some believe that mat ters will materially improve before Sep tember is out.

TWELVE INNING TIE
 AT PICKETT SPRINGS
Nashville and Montgomery Unable to Bring Things to Head in Twelve
 lnnines-Two Home Runs.

Montgomery, August 23.-(special)- The Legislators and Nashville today played 12-inning tie game. The score was to ?. The game was the prettiest ever seen on the diamond, although there were several errors. Nashville made four and Montgomery three. Up to the fourth inning there were no runs, but Montgomery started the ball go- ing and landed one in this inning on Lowney's juggling of Clarke's hot grounder, Clarkes steal to second and Stickneys hit to right.
 In the sixth Newt's boys landed one run on Moss home run over left fence. This tied the score and no more runs were made until the tenth inning when Carey, Nashvile's first baseman, put one over left fence for another home run. In the Legislators half Stultz walked to first and scored on Burnett's two bagger and Molesworth's out to right. This made the game a tie Neith- CT side scored in the eleventh and twelfth innings and the umpire called the game so the Nashville boys could catch their train.
 Lowney covered himself with glory in the eleventh inning by making sensa- tional .one-handed running catch of Clarke's pop fly back of third. Nashville has made only five runs in the last three games and all of these were home runs. Not a man was on base when they were knocked. The game was pitchers battle, but Stultz had the best of John- son on allowing hits. Johnson yielded seven and Stultz five Stultz let one walk and Johnson two. Johnson struck out one and Stultz three.
 When the score was tied in the tenth the fans went wild. cushions, umbrellars, hats, handkerchiefs and sticks foated in the air over the diamond for several minutes and the umpire had to call time until the diamond could be cleared.

At a meeting of the baseball reporters of the three Birmingham papers 1t was bonaflde members of the press not to re- main in the press box during the games. It Is very annoying to the reporters and telegraph operators and the men who do not like to embarrass their friends by asking them to get out. If the friends of the reporters will take this as a re- hinder it will be greatly appreciated

 Struck Egg Rock.
 On reaching the Massachusetts it was found that she had struck on Egg Rock, a submerged reef, but glanced off after tearing loose several plates of her bottom. The forehold and several other compart- ments filled at once, but the water tight doors were closed before any more ds m- age was done. The crew and officers were very deliberate in all they did. We bat toned down all our hatches and closed all water-tight doors and stood by to ram them so as to beach them and give all her a chance to come aboard us ., case she sank; but she floated all right, and we headed for this port The Indiana. Scorpion and three of the torpedo boats came back with the Massachusetts and have been here ever since. We have had up steam all the time so we could beach her in case some of her bulkhea1s gave way, but nothing has happened ,ct. We will probably accompany her to New York to dry dock before long. and then join the fleet at Portland, Me.
