TEAMS GETTING IN FORM

Rain broke up a good baseball game yesterday, and the local crangs will have to wait until tomorrow to again see the Coal Barons and the New York Giants In action. A good steady rain started early in the day and never let up until long after night It was very discouraging to the baseball people as they had counted one one of the largest crowds of the spring practice season.
 McGraw and his team leave Birmingham Tuesday night, and two more games will be played. The big and little leaguers mix 1t up tomorrow and again Tuesday. The Birmingham club has a full intention of giving the New Workers good hard run for their. money tomorrow and Tuesday, as they are anxious to win one game be- fore the big fellows leave.

 MT. Sully claims instead of advancing the money which they agreed to, they shuffled off and evaded their responsibil ity to ambiguous responses until it was too late for MT. Sully to resist the tide which swept through the cotton market and temporarily engulfed him. MT.

Plenty of Good Timber.

It is likely that Jimmy OBrien will be here before the end of the present week and then the team will be complete. In fact. Tom O Brien has more men than he knows what to do with, but he will keep them all, anyway, as he doesn't propose to turn loose any good timber.
 Lynch will probably be on third in to- morrow's game and the infeld will be thereby considerably frightened up. Lynch is as good in the infeld as in the outfield and if O Brien has a good utility outfield- CT he will play Lynch inside when some of the regular men are injured.

THE LATEST TRAGEDY.

of the city to It's lnmost depths. TWO

But they are not. The police and all

The feeling Of anger at the crime and
OF pity and sympathy for the fam-

The lessons OF the dreadful calamities
that occasionally occur are, that every
possible precautlon should be adopted,
made compulsory and ensured by Off

AS to the manner Of removal Of the
old clerk and the appointment Of the
new, we have little TO say II may or
may not have been proper or necessary

change WAS needed and united on the
candidate that was chosen. We believe
that the gentleman who Is now re-

nothing against him or his character.
But 1t Is clear that there was a desire
for change and that It has been Of
long standing, II has been heard Of
repeatedly through series Of years,
Whether II was well grounded or not
we are not able TO say.
But supposing his friends and sup.
porters feel annoyed at his removal
and think It was wrong and unneces-
sary, what then? Is the matter Of
such moment that the whole scholastic
world IS to stand aghast, and that our
school system Is put In danger Of COM
