CATCHER MATTHEWS HITS
 MIKE FINN OVER THE EYE

marked; 'rn settle this with YOU un-! der the grandstand right now Finn arose as If to accept the challenge and Matthews threw off his mask and started to the entrance. Finn laughed and re- stunned his seat.
 While Finn was talking to Coffee E. Jackson last night about a business mat ter Matthews came up between them. Some warm words passed between him and Finn, the latter saylng something about Matthews being a fighting man. In moment Matthews struck Finn. and Finn started toward him Matthews then hit a clean swing over the eye and Finn went down. The above account was given by several bystanders, but 1t Is understood that Finns friends say that Matthews struck him while he was not looking majority of the onlookers, however deny this.
 The enmity between Finn and Matthews Is said to date back to a game in Little Rock last season when Mailing ran into Matthews at the plate, knocking him senseless. Some words between Matthews and Finn at that time is said to be re- sponsible for the outbreak of wrath yes- terday afternoon.

 The mile and three-sixteenths was made In 2:06 3-5. After the race, Me Bryde who had the mount on Gregor K, claimed he was interefered with at the head of the stretch, but this was not al- lowed.

 A string of six defeats in just that many days concludes week of suffering, mis- cry and soreness to the faithful who had counted on the Barons to carry the Br- mingham banner on to victory for the first time in four long years. There was rothing doing despite the strenuous puli- ing and scientific roofing and this morn ing Birmingham has nosed her way down where she is in dangerous proximity to Montgomery who steadfastly holds or to the tail end.
 Mike Finn and his gang of three time second placers simply put 1t all over Bir- mingham yesterday and that is the req son Slagtown suffered. Outplayed at every stage of the game the Barons work ed hard, but they were simply up against it and had to take the consequences.
 Streit Worked Hard.
 Oscar Streit worked as hard as ever a ball player worked but his good pitching availed him naught, for the men behind him could not hit when good, hard rap ping would have broke up the game. Time and time again men were sent to first. and second only to die lingering deaths around the bags with the gloom of certain defeat hanging over tnem
 Little Rock received many free gifts to first and lucky hits sent the runners home. On the other hand Bolin gave even more passes than did Oscar but the hit that was longer for never came. The truth of the matter is Little Rock could pound the ball at the proper time and Birmingham couldn't. Under those cir oumstances the result is not difficult to figure

 Manager Finn Is not badly hurt but large lump over his left eye is left as q memento of the strenuous scenes enacted around Slagtown during the last few days Matthews was not hurt in the least and immediately after the scrirn7 mage left for his apartments. Finn also went to his room in the Florence hotel where he spent the night

PRESIDENT OF THE UNIVERSITY.

After mature deliberation. Nr.
Edward \. Alderman has decided
to accept the Presidency of the
University of Virginia, rcsigning
the presidency of the Tulane. La.
University.
Mr.. Alderman thus becomes the
first President of the University
foundedand so generously endowed
10y Thomas Jefferson.
The new President is a young
and vigorous man. and his ability
as an orator and business man is
widely known.
The Board of Visitors have made
no mistake in the selection of the
UnivcrsitN's head. and everyone
can look forward to new and more
highly prosperous and productive
era for the University.
In this latter day. it had become
absolutely necessary that the eX~
ecutive management of the School
should be centered in one man, as
the usefulness of the Board of Nisi-
tors was hampered to certain
extent by numbers.
We hope and believe that the
step just taken is the best one for
the welfare of Virginia foremost
school, and we shall watch with
considerable pride the work and
results obtained under President
Alderman.

Added TO that we have the increased
prices To our farmers and pro-
duccrs by reason of Increased
market facilities, and the problem
practically cvenS itself up.
One of the principal features to
the proposed system will be its
light and power feature. The
towns along the route can be
lighted by electricity at a very low
rate. and mills and manufactures
can be supplied with motive power
at a less price than it could be pro-
duced by them, with the present
large and raaidly increasing cost of
coal.
1t Is said that the new company
contcmplateS erecting dams and
other devices for generating their
current from the water of the
Shenandoah river.
Having had considerable expert
encc with practical electricity, we
believe that this can be done at 4
very moderate cost. Certainly far
cheaper than power could be gen
Grated by steam-driven engines
alone.
Taking allinto consideration, we
cannot but believe that the electric
railway, iferectedas contemplated,
with It's ability As a power-producer
would be of signal and lasting
benefit to this section. Especially
Is this true of the section ON the
east side of the Shenandoah, which
has had practical isolation for 81
LONG. With the Bridges and the
new railway, access would be had
TO this section and residences and
manufactures would spring up.
Under the present state of affairs,
people are not inclined TO build
their houses or their factories in
locations which can only be reached
1T certain times when the river is
low. for instance.
