Drum all over the lot yesterday and won
easily from the Western High School
By the score of II to 3. Every CentraIite,
except Cunningham, connected with
Westerns pitcher for one or more hits
Central clinched the game in the sixth
inning by driving seven runs across the
plate.
The Westerners put up faster game
in the field than their opponents, whose
work was poor. Cunningham, Peck and
Thomas contributed seven errors be-
tween them, against four by the West
ems. Church was the only member of
the losing team who could solve Nc
Cathren's shoots. This little tow-headed
lad from across the creek damaged his
delivery to the extent of a home run, a
three-bagger and single, and scored all
OF Westerns runs. He not only used his
stick with good effect, but played well in
the field, having nine putouts, an assist,
and an error to his credit. Parsons was
the only Centralite to connect with the
leather for a round trip.

$500 for training expenses. and il his
terms are accepted he will make the

Crippled Senator'S Journey on
TO Detroit, Where They Are
Scheduled for Four Games.
Then Comes Boston.
Washington Fans o41Dafting
With Interest the Outcome
OF the Remanrfng Eight
Games.

Rain at Cleveland yesterday prevented
the last game of the present series be-
tween the Senators and Blues. Possibly
the climatic conditions were providen-
tial, inasmuch as Washington has
been playing way below the form shown
at st. Louis and Chicago, since in the
Ohio metropolis. Three straight defeats
fell to the lot of the Statesmen at CIeve-
land
Today we open in Detroit. where four
games are scheduled before moving on
to Boston, the last series before the
Homecoming.
All in all this Homecoming will be a
sad one, unless the team takes a decided
brace. It is safe to predict that no fatted
calf or brass band will await the weary
tail-enders, when they once more set
foot on native soil. Washington fans
are loyal and true, but like the humble
worm they will turn in time, and grow
sick of the long string of defeats daily
chronicled against the local team.

Harper's Bad Habit.

Jack Harper, who is counted among
the star pitchers of the league, has de-
yeloped a fondness for giving bases on
balls this season which is rather alarm
ing Harper has probably given more
bases on balls in the few games he has
pitched, up to date, than he did in half
of the games he pitched last season. He
started the season wild as a March hare
and he has improved but little since
then. Harper probably is a pitcher who
needs lots of work. With the big pitch
ing staff which Kelley has at his COM
nland it is not going to be an easy mat
ter keeping all the twirlers in good
fern, for they will hardly pitch more
than one game week. This is not near
enough for some pitchers. Harper, in
former years, always had control of the
tall, and he is unable to explain his
failure TO get the ball over the plate this
year.
Frank Hahn is just the opposite Ct
Harper. He does not want much work
after he gets in trim. Unless Hahn is
warming Up before a game in which he
IS to pitch he will not pitch fast ball
at all during practice. He takes the
very best OF care of his pitching arm
and for this reason will probably last
longer than any other 1eft-hander ever
has.

CHURCH LEAGUE GAMES
WILL NOT Be ABANDONED
Fourth Presbyterian Team Bats Out
Victory.

The Fourth Presbyterian team, of the
Church Baseball League, batted out a
victory over the Calvary Baptist nine
yesterday, by the score of Is to 10.
The games do not begin until 5 o'clock
and sometimes as late as $40, and, as
Usual, the game had to be called on
account of darkness at the end of the
eighth inning. The Calvary boys were
unable to hit Wolhaupter in the early
art or the game, but rallied in the
sixth inning and drove seven taIlies
across the rubber. 1t looked as If the
Baptists would stem the tide of defeat
ane turn it into victory, when the Pres
byterians yanked Wolhaupter out of the
box and replaced him with Cunningham
who put stop to their batting streak
The attempt to force the Church
Baseball League to abandon the games
to be played on its grounds. at Thir-
teenth Street and Columbia Avenue, has
proved futile.
1t was claimed by some that the dis
turbance raised by the games created
discomfort among many OF the near resi-
dents, and some persons even went so
far as to collect subscription in order
to take the matter to the courts, but as
only $50 Of the 800 needed, to accom-
| plish this purpose, was obtained, the at
! tempt was abandoned.
The officers of the league, upon hear
| ing that the games were disturbing the
adjacent neighborhood, canvassed it for
the purpose OF finding out the true state
of affairs All the persons living neal
the grounds were visited but none ex-
pressed their dissatisfaction, and the
games will be played off throughout the
| balance of the season as scheduled

( league will be held at 764 Harvard

Rough House Tactics.

Reports from around the circuit are
to the effect that the Pittsburg players
are resorting TO rough tactics in their
games This may or may not be true,
but II it Is the Pittsburg club will be
wise TO put a stop TO that sort Of thing
as soon as possible. Hans Wagner seems
to be the worst offender He jumped
feet first at Jack Morrissey in Pittsburg,
and is accused of resorting 10 unfair tao
tics in New York If, this be true, then
let Hans beware. Ball players are only
human, and spirit of revenge may
arise. with the result that some player
will take II upon himself to send Hans
to a hospital for while. and with Hans
out of the game Pittsburg would not
stand an earthly chance to land the flag.
Wagner IS about so per cent Of the
strength of the team. Take him out Of
it and there Is not much left, because
the team will be broken up. If for no
other than a selfish reason the Pittsburg
club should call a halt on Mr. Wagner.

Alabama Underwriters in
 Convention.
President John G. Smith Submits His Annual Address and Re- tires from ofice-To Meet
 Next in Selma.

Two busy sessions and an afternoon of enjoyment marked the first, day of the seventh annual convention of the Ala bama Fire Underwriters Association in Montgomery.
 When John c. Smith of Birmingham, the venerable President of the organiza- tion, called the convention to order al noon, nearly 10D delegates and special in- surance agents were in the City Council Chamber, and although the convention was in session yesterday over three hours practically no one left the hall, and the most undivided attention was given the speakers.
 The Underwriters, by the manner ir which they went about their business proved themaelves business men. The meeting went off with a snap and an immense amount of business was trans acted.
 Not only did the convention go through with the entire program of yesterday, but last night heard reports of committees who were scheduled to report today. in order that the delegates might have more time for a good time at the barbecue to be given at Jacksons Lake.
 One of the committees scheduled to report today which completed it's busi- ness last night. was the Committee on Nominations, who submitted the follow ing list of officers after the old officers had repeatedly refused to serve: For President, J. k. Clennon, Mobile; fer Vice-Presidcnt, Miiiard M. Sweatt of Montgomery; for Secretary and Treas urer, Ed Mccartney of Mobile. The re- port of the committee was unanimously concurred in.
 After the predicate had blcn laid for going into the business of today, F. M. Stillwoll Of Selma nominated his city as the next place of meeting of the Assoc:c- ton. He met with some little opposition from the Mobile delegation, which cid not press its claims, however. on ac- count of having two men on the list of officers Selma won by a unanimous vote.

THE MEN AND WOMEN
Who Enjoy the Choicest Products
 of the Worlds Commerce.
Knowledge of what Is Best More In. portant Than Wealth With
 out 1t.

It must be apparent to every one that qualities of the highest order are neces- sary to enable the best of the products ot modern commerce to attain permanently to universal acceptance. However loudly heralded, they may not hope for worldwide preeminence unless they meet with the general approval. not of individuals only, but of the many who have the happy faculty of selecting. enjoying and learn ing the real worth of the choicest prod ucts. Their commendation, consequently. becomes important to others, since to meet the requirements of the well in- formed of all countries the method of manufacture must be of the most per- feet order and the combination the most excellent of it's kind. The above is true not of food products only, but Is espe- cially applicable to medicinal agents and after nearly a quarter of a century of growth and general use the excellent remedy. Syrup of Figs. Is everywhere accepted, throughout the world, as the best of family laxatlves. Its quality Is due not only to the excellence of the combination of the laxative and carmin- ative principles of plants known to act most benefcially on the system and pre- scented in the form of a pleasant and re- freshing liquid, but also to the method of manufacture of the California Fig Syrup Co.,. which ensures that uniformi- ty and purity essential in a remedy fn- tended for family use. Ask any physi- clan who is well informed and he will answer at once that it is an excellent laxative. If at ali eminent in his pro- fesslon and has made a special study of laxatives and their effects upon the sys- tenn he will tell you that 1t is the best of family laxatives. because 1t is sim- pie and wholesome and cleanses and sweetens the system effectually. when a laxative is needed, without any un- pleasant after-effccts. Every well-in- formed druggist of reputable standing knows that Syrup of Figs is an excel lent laxative and .is glad to sell it, at the regular price of fifty cents per bot tie. because 1t gives general satisfac- tion, but one should remember that in order to get the beneficial effects of Syrup of Figs it is necessary to buy the genuine, which is sold in original pack ages only; the name of the remedy Syrup of Figs and also the full name of the Company-California Fig Syrup Co. printed on the front of every package.
