Games Today.
Birmingham at Shreveport. Atlanta at New Orleans.
 Nashville at Memphis.

With dark cloud lowering over Mount Eiag throughout the entire afternoon more than two thousand fans witnessed the Coal Barons mix up with the Pelieans yes- terday afternoon and make 1t an even break in two of the prettiest games of the season.
 The first game resulted New Orleans 3, Birmingham 1. and 1t took twelve long innings to put on the finishing touches. The second game resulted Birmingham 5. New Orleans 0, but darkness settled over the scene before the last two innings could be completed.
 In the first game 1t was a battle royal between Streit and Reisling with mag nifcent fielding backing up both combl- nations. New Orleans drove in a run in the first inning on a three bagger and a single and thereafter Streit had the lead CTS on his hip until the twelfth inning. Everybody got in the game when the long no run swing began and the roofing was of the 24-karat variety. Beautiful plays fell on top of each other in rapid suc- ression and double plays grew almost monotonous

Tied Score In Sixth.

Birmingham tied the score In the sixth on Jimmy OBriens safe drive to right, following by Oscar Streit's sacrifice and Duffy's pretty rap over second. After that thern was nothing doing to break up the going until the first half of the twelfth. Rohe started 1t with a grounder which Lynch could not handle in the grass and Atz was allowed to walk. Genins sent both runners forward on bunt which was thrown to third too late and allowing him to get to first in safety. With three on the bags and no man out Holly poped out to Duffy. Whitridge then proceeded to hurt Slagtown by whip ping a pretty single over third and two men chased home in a canter. Birming- ham could not score and that broke up the game.

The second Game.

In the second game young Pylant again demonstrated his pitching powers and the Pelcans who started in with laugh soon round him a puzzle too hard to solve. The pest they could was to get away with two safe bingles and not once did they have chance to score The old timers 1ousnt all around the plate in their efforts 10 take slash at the brush league young ster put there was nothing doing. Dun-' nam started in to pitch but yielded two hits In the first inning and as he was not feeling well the youngster was put fin his place.
 Towards the finish .c grew very dark and hundreds of people left the grounds. The players pleaded in vain for Wood to call the game but it was a case of Lay on McDun with his highness and he or dered apother inning while Matty went Tor a lamp. Later a bonfire was lighted 70 the players could pick out their bats.
 Laid In the Timber.
 During this period of darkness the Coal Barons got real downright mad and nro- ceeded to lay on the timber. The iovf,I rattling of the willow began in earnest in the sixth and thereafter the game 1va q a farce. On this even.lul occasion Pvlant the boy pitcher. was presented with a walk to first. Duffy bunted but French threw wild to first, striking Duffy on tha shoulder. While the Pelicans were cbas- ing the ball Pylant went to third Lynch hit a grounder to second and Duffy went to second on the play. It was then up to Vaughan and with blood in his optics he slammed out a safe one to left and both runners came lopings ain. Fox threw to second to catch Vaughan but the ball trav- eled on to the field and Vaughan landed at third Smith nit a slow grounder to second and Vaughan scored on the play

the st. Louis World said; 30.
seph Wingate Folk is a common
thief WAS caught by the
City Auditor and City Councillor
of ST. Louis in the very act.''
For nearly three years the
steal went on" He has COL
lected thousands Of dollars in
fees and deposited public funds
to his own credit IN st. Louis
bank and retained them for
months"
And then t he World goes on
to quote or misquote thirty-one
records of warrants drawn, Civ
ing number, date and amounts
for which they were drawn.
And then goes on and demands
that the grand jury and courts
take up the charges.
At present Mr.. Folk is not a
private citizen with the option
of standing on the high and
mighty plain of silent contempt
but is one OF the largest Office
holders in the state and is ask
ing for the greatest office in the
state. Therefore it matters not
what his private opinion or
feelings are in the matter, he
owes a debt TO the people, one
that should at any cost to him
self be paid. Paid to the full
est, ie., an eXhoneration of self
and the people who have trust
ed him and who he is asking to
trust him further.
If the charges be false, then
they are VILE and The World
should be promptly lacked up
and run through a sausage mill.
But it it be possible that they
are true, then the sooner the
case is taken up the better.
False or true, there should be
a legal investigation.
Your local paper does more
than anything else to give your
town character abroad. If you
would come to our table and
pick up poorly supported pa
per, without liberal advertising
patronage, you would decide at
once that it was from some
small village or lifeless town.
If you should pick up a paper
full of live local advertisements,
you would say that the business
men of the town were full of
snap and enterprise, and it was
a lively town. Moreover, ad.
vertising in a good paper will
draw custom to a town that
would otherwise be attracted
elsewhere. Your local newspa-
per has therefore an influence
in giving your town character,
and in drawing trade to it, that
should not be overlooked, and
the business men Of a town owe
it a liberal support, and they
are standing in their own light
when they fail to advertise in
it. The poorly patroni2ed pa
per gives away the town.

your weakness and you should
get out of the running. You are
charged by The Republic with
knowing that Dick speed con-
tributed to the lobby and for
that reason you are not sympa-
thy with the principle on which
Mr.. Folk made his campaign.
Of course Mr.. Folk was aware
of the fact that his friend Jim
Campbell furnished the $47, 500
to Ed Butler to buy the light
ing contract with and yet Mr..
Folk preferred to have Butler
acquitted rather than ,embarrass
his friend Campbell who con-
tributes so literally to Joseph's
