Games Today.
Little Rock at Birmingham.
Memphis at Montgomery.
Now Orleans at Atlanta.
Shreveport at Nashville.

At last the chain of defeats Is broken
and Jimmy Tamsett did 1t.
Birmingham. 1; Little Rock, 0; and ten
innings at that.
When all was looking gloomy and dark
ness was fast settling Ger slagtown
green Jimmy stepped up with his choice
willow and with Matty champing his bits
around first base he made a vicious lunge
at the ball. With a resounding whack he
met the Victor square on the nose and
slammed 1t on q dead line to left field
for two bags, while Matty scampered
with the first, last and only run Of the
long drawn out battle.
1t was a beautiful contest free from err
rors and with but little hitting. Durham
and Dannehower were both in excellent
form and the hits came few and far be-
tween. While the score gives Little Rock
eight hits they never came In punches in
but one inning and then, remarkable field
ing by the Barons kept runners away
from the plate. This punching of hits
came about in the fifth inning. and with
three successive singles the Travellers
could not send a man In home. When
the third hit was made Pat Wright was
| perched on second He attempted to
scoot In home on the bingle which whlz-
zed over second, but Duffy, handling the
hit on the first bounce, whipped the ball
In home and poor Pat was caught at
least ten feet from the pan. Duffy's
beautiful throw prevented a score and
from later events 1t was found to be the
salvation of the game. With Duffy on
second in the first inning Father Vaughan
cracked nice drive over short, but
Granville slapped the bingo down and
! Duffy was unable to get In home. Such
remarkable work as this kept up all
during the game, and for one time the
spectators got nice smooth run for their
money.
On several occasions both pitchers got
themselves in holes, but with superb con-
troll and good curves they got away from
danger.
The Final Chapter.
The climax came in the last half of
the tenth, after two men were out The
| going out on fly to center. Hennessey
got base on balls but was thrown out
trying to steal second. Matthews also
walked and when it began to look bad,
Jimmy Tamsett laced his beautiful drive
into left center, and while Householder
was chasing the ball. Matty scored and
the game was over.
| Birmingham had a chance to score in
the ninth. Lynch was on second, with
two out, and Vaughan was up. The
pitcher tried to give Vaughan his base on
balls, but the father of baseball wouldn't
stand for the scheme and struck at the
ball two times any way He then stepped
out and tried TO foul the fourth ball His
effort resulted in tip fould, which Yin
ram caught. and the chance was gone
This is one of the few times on record
when a pitcher, while trying to give n
base on balls, struck the batter out
Minahan will pitch for Birmingham .bia
afternoon, and Guese will probably work
| for Finn.

Mark Twain is the best known man in
America. He can go nowhere that he is
not instantly recognized by his face
and form. His long, tagging step, his
lank shank and air of preternatural
gravity fit we'll the drawl of his voice.
To get the full effect of that drawl you
should hear him tell how once some
Americans came to call upon him in his
apartments in the piano MOBILIZE of a
FlOrentine mansion-what we should
call the third floor, there the finest and
best.
AS the guests sat listening, sounds of
commotion came from below, where the
impoverished princely family lived,

could no longer restrain their curiosity.

Question Of the Grab.

Bishop Gambler, of Georgia, is
known as one of the best story tellers
in the south. At a recent dinner given
in his honor he told this one on him
self: II shall never forget my embar-
rassment when. first introduced to a
hard shell crab. I came down from
the mountains of Georgia I to visit
some young friends in Richmond. It
was crab season, and I was invited to
9 crab supper. l had never seen a
boiled crab served before and had moi
the slightest idea how to go at It.
Finally was forced to confess my
ignorance on the subject and said: If
this delicacy before me was gopher
or, a 'possum I would know what to
do with it, SO if some one will be kind
enough to tell me where to bite in ]
will tackle it. IN. Y: Herald.

A fan that gives out, instead of a
cooling breeze, blast of hot air, has
been invented by M. de Mare, a Bel
gian. The blades are of mica, on
which the arranged resistance coils
that are electrically heated to high
temperature. M. de Mare finds that
compressed air absorbs the heat from
the coils with great rapidity, and he
accordingly incloses his fans in a cas-
ing with an opening through which
the hot blast issues. He is thus en-
abled to pass through the coils cur
rent which, when the fan is at rest,
would melt the tin wire, but which,
when it is in motion, does not even
make it red-hOt.

According to estimates of an emil
nent civil engineer, the water running
from the present land surface of the
globe to sea level would produce, if all
utilized, 10,34O million horse power,
day and night. On the other hand,
the present output of coal for whole
years (225,000,000 tons) if SO burned
as to produce this horse power, could
keep it up for only half a day. In 9TH
er words, the worlds water power is
over 700 times it's present available
coal power, and can not be used up as
the latter cana fact which may COM
fort those who are anticipating with
fear the time when our coal supply
will have been exhausted.

Critics of the modern "sky-scrapers, !"
with their frowning steel frames, have
predicted that these lofty buildings
will be short-lived, and that they are
all destined to crumble away The
steel skeletons of these structures are
mostly hidden from observation, and
no one can tell whether they are in
tact or rusting away, but experts con-
clude. from examination of the frame
Of one that has recently been demol-
ished in New York, that such fears
as those mentioned are groundless. In
this building, which had stood four
years, the only rust in the frame was
that acquired during construction.
