Whats the matter with the DragonS? They're all right While not exactly ex pressed in chorus this was the individd" and collective consensus of opinion of the Dragons guests this evening, on this their sixteenth birthday. 10. the poor Indian" would have executed war dance, could he have looked in at the ball. for he would have felt entirely at home amongst the troop of braves Who as hosts of the. evening and leaders of the fun, dominated the occasion. The disguise of the Dragons was so realistic as to cause a thrill of almost real terror among the ladies, as with whoop anj yell. with painted faces. leather cos tunes and tomahawks threateningIy brandished, they rushed pellmell into the hall and set the ball in motion. It is a well known and trite saying that none but the brave deserve the fair. The lat est version by an onlooker this evening is that it Is the fair who deserve and capture the braves. although some of. tno girls did admit later that when the lE- dian chiefs pranced up an seized them for the opening dance, they felt as II they had actually been captured in open warfare and hung on to their pompadours with a vIce-hke grip. Strange to say this very effective Indian costume has never been used before by any of our mystic societies. and the Dragons made the hit of the year. Even aside from this however. the ball would have beeh | q successful one. for everybody was there in high spirits. and from o'clock' when the society marched into the hall to the belated hour at which they march ed out again. there was not a single dd-i | minute.

Nashville. Tenn, August 30.-tSpecial.)- Birmingham received a drubbing from the hands of Nashville today. The locals took both games Scores. to and 9 to O.
 The final game was given to the Fish ermen because Birmingham refused to continue the game, claiming that it was too dark, when, as matter of fact, 1t was far from being dark. After Nash vile had made four runs to the visitors none, with two more innings to be played, Vaughan's men did everything possible to delay the game, so that it would be called before the necessary five innings were played. In the fourth they went into the field, and the pitcher tried hard to give every man up a base on balls. The only way the locals could get out was to fan or either walk off of the bases. It took Birmingham just twenty five minutes to retire the side.
 Vaughan Gets In Trouble.
 The first game was a rattling good con- test, in which both teams played fast and snappy ball. Pylant was hit by Nashville when hits were needed, and this, together with the locals good fielding and Rus sells superb work in the box, returned Nashville the winners. There was q lot of squabbling in this game. Tamsett who was on the bench, was put out of the park and fined $10 by Umpire Latham for abuse Manager Vaughan was also put out of the game for the same of fense. Millerick took Yaughans place at first. Clarke pitched the second game for RirOIoRhnm He was mt very ef fective and was hit at will. Nickens yielded but one nit in this game
 Birmingham's work in trying to delay the second game was loudly hissed by the large crowd present.
