New Orleans, La, September l5.-(Spe-
cial)-In a miserable game of baseball
the like of which has never been viewed
from the submits of Mount Stag, Biz
mingham met her eighth consecutive oe-
feat today in the presence OF just 4ol Cres-
cent City fans Triton was wild as
March hare and had not the Pelicans
practice In lodging the dead and wound
ed would have been scattered all over the
field. AS 1t was, he crippled up several
of the tail-enders and walked twice as
MANY more. Every New Orleans batter
who marched to the plate was prepared
to die but they stood up to the gun ana
when they didn't walk they smashed the
ball on the nose and runs came dashlng
across the plate in flocks.
Umpire Ebright Rank.
During the stormy melee Umpire
Ebright was pulling off some of the rank
est decisions on record and players OF all
kinds and sizes swarmed around him ike
bees. He was simply putrid and while
Birmingham got the worst of 1t, New Or
leans also Jared quite badly. In the mid
die of one of the rows Johnnie Duffy was
put out of the game and Crabell had to
take his place in center field. 1t was great
fun for the rooters. When row was
started everyone urged 1t on. Some yelled
at the umpire, some at the players and
some Just hoilered to keep the fun going.
Birmingham lone solitary run came in
the sixth inning when Parson Crabell led
off with a clean single to left and stole
second. McAndrews cracked a bad one
down to third and Hastings who was
playing first missed it. Crabell took adj
vantage of the play to score.
Montgomery's Home Run.
New Orleans scored first on Montgom-
erys long drive into right field bleachers
for a home run. He was the first man
up. The next two men reached first on
a scratch hit and a walk. A grounder
advanced one to third with one out. A
hot grounder then got through Mcguire
and two more runs were added to the
clean one by Montgomery.
After that the Birmingham team went
to pieces and with Triton throwing balls
all over the grand stand the boys lost
heart and try as they would the awful
lead could not be overcome.
In full justice to the Coal Barons it
must be said that at least four of the
runs scored by New Orleans were the re-
suit of bad decisions by Umpire Ebright
On two occasions he called a foul ball
fair and in each instance the hit brought
in two runs.
birmingham is not winning because the
men can't hit and that's the whole thing
in nutshell.

Spectacle peddlers are abroad In
the land, and of all impudent frauds
,aSpectacle Peddlersn take the
cake" or course they would not
lie, oh, no! They are all learned OPP
ticians and HONEYWELL, SO honest
and pure that snow would make q
black mark on them. But, what was
your experience with the last spect-
acle peddler? Did not you and your
good wife feel like kicking yourselves
hard when he was gone with your
cash, ana you found the cheap win
dow glass spectacles he sold you for
high price were not as good as the
old ones? And the frames that he
sold you for gold, what are they?
Turned out to be the vilest brass, and
those sold for silver to be Just COM
mon steel with little wash of nickel
over them.
Let the past be warning-specta-
Gle peddlers are liable to drop in on
you any day. Shun them as you
would sneak thief. If you need
glasses call on Prof. Arnold at his
office. He will honestly tell you
whether he can help you or not. He
is recommended by thousands of
prominent physicians in all parts of
the country, You may be certain he
will charge you less for comfort and
satisfaction than an unmitigated ped
ding fraud will for disappointment
and injury to your eyes. Prof.
Arnold has had an experience of A
years and in that time has seen thou
sands of spectacle peddlers. He can
assure you, on his word of honor,
that he never saw one in his life that
was not fraud. Be sure and watch
peddler that he does not smear
your glasses with some sticky or
greasy substance in order to convince
you by comparison that his are the
clearest. The safest way is to have
nothing to do with them, for they
are as full of tricks and lies as an
egg is OF meat. The only safe way is
to let them alone. Prof. Mayne Ar
mold will give scientific examinations
of the eye, using latest London met
hods and finest instruments in the
world, costing thousands of dollars.
N. B.--Any peddler who pretends
to be an agent for Prof. Arnold, or to
have goods similar to his, or to have
any connection whatever with him,
Ia a swindler. HAVE HIM ARREST
ED, and the Professor will see to it
that he is vigorously prosecuted.
