FRANCE ALARMED
 BY YELLOW PERIL
[ JAPAN's REMARKABLE DISPLAY
 OF POWER CAUSES TALK OF
 EUROPEAN COALITION FOR PROTECTION IN FAR EAST.

Paris, September H.-A wave of popu- lar indignation against the yellow peril has resulted here from Japan's recent remarkable display of power.
 This apprehension is shared to con- siderable extent in official circles. where it was suggested today that 1t may com pei the European powers to consider the necessity of effectng coalition for self defense against the yellow peril.
 The newspapers and periodicals also emphasize the growth of the danger. Henry Rochefort says it behooves Flu rope to take warning in time. The asser- tion is made that France would be one of the first to suffer through Japan s design on Indo-C China.

my was forced out at second. Hennessey while on second took a stiff lead and scored on an intleld hit by Matty. Mat ty promptly stole second and scored on Billy Smiths safe drive over second.
 In the sixth the Pirates reeied off three nice hits and scored two runs and the score was tied. It so remained until the tenth inning, when Birmingham did the business. Matty led off by shaping a steaming grounder through Sehaub for two bags. Smith put him down on a sac- rifice Durham then dumped a nice grounder to Schaub and Matty scored on the play. Thus a joyful story endeth.

sLAePlLE SETTINGS.

During the past week the Coal Barons have played ten games. Of these they have won seven, tied two and lost only one Both ties were played off and Bir- mingham won them It must also be re- membered that three straight games were taken from the leaders. Ten games of ball in one week is pretty good work and to lose only one of them indicates that Harry Vaughan and his crowd are play ing some.

Games Today. Montgomery at Memphis.

With a hefty swing of the willow and thieving snatch of forbidden bases the Barons again cut loose a barrel of ginger on slagtown green and trotted away with two more scalps hanging to the well filled belt while Norcum. the Big Injun Pirate, left the grounds warbling "It's best to leave them with a smile"
 The first wound up Birmingham 10, Shreveport g.
 The second ended Birmingham f. l Shreveport B.
 With a pitching staff on crutches and their organization dubbed the Western Outing club the Pirate crew of Giiks gave the Barons by far the stiffest fight since they started on the long winning streak.
 Young Abels again appeared on the fir ing line in the first game but he was ripped full of so many holes that Gilks took him out in the seventh and substi- tuted Shorty Alexander who had never before twrled a ball in professional ranks. The crowd took the move as a joke but Shorty allowed bu. one hit and but for his wildness would probably have won his game
 Everybody Hit. | That first game was a corkarina of the | first water and just anybody who so de- sired could slap the ball into any part of the lot that struck his fancy fearful bombardment took place on both sides l and but for the formidable array of will lows on the Baron side Ginger Clark would have lost his game. As it was he was made to look like perforated porous plaster but luckily he pulled out of the hole and won.
 In the third inning the Pirates got gay with the stick and base on balls was | followed by two hits A wild throw let | in two runs and a wild pitch scored an- l other Gilks then hit safe and before he had settled himself on first Norcum stung l fierce drive which cleared the right field fence for a home run and two more scores were sent over in q trot.
 Barons Cut Loose.
 About this time the Barons saw trou- l ble in the air and started in to clear the l atmosphere. Tn the fourth Vaughan and O'Brien walked and Hennessey's three base screamer to left field fence sent them both home. In the next inning Ginger Clark's single, a base on balls an error and Jimmy Tamsetts two sack rap sent two more runners across the rubber.
 Just as things were looking good Shreveport edged another man over in the sixth and were two runs to the good Then 1t was that Hennessey led off with single. Millerek switched a nice two saeker into right but Hennessey had to stop at third Smith hit a long fly SCOT ing Hennessey and Duffy's single put Millerick over and tied the score Tn the eighth a broadside was cut loose on Mir, Abels and four runs resulted and cfnched the game.

The Second Game.

In the second fray Bobby Gi1ks step ped in the box for Shreveport, and though he first looked like a joke 1t wasn't but two innings before he had all the youngsters of today shown up in great shape. Only three clean hits and two scratches were rapped out by the Barons and as Dunham was also in ex- eellent form the prettiest game of the series developed. Durham pitched great ball throughout and his magnificent SUD- port won for him the third ten inning game of the series.
 Birmingham scored at the start by lightning work on the part of one J. Duff fy. The fleet footed little fielder walked to first A sacrifice sent him to second and he stole third. About this time Hen

 The Pirates also got busy at the start and in the second inning Hanley skirted the bases and scored on a grounder to third.

Bobby Giks showed himself to be some what of pitcher yesterday when he held the Barons down to five hits, three of which were of the scratchy order. He was formerly a crack pitcher and shows that he has not yet forgotten the game.

He was formerly a crack pitcher ana shows that he has not yet forgotten the game.
 Since Harry Vaughan took the Coal Barons on that famous Junketing trip in the west Birmingham has played forty five games Of these the Barons have won thirty-one and lost fourteen. At this rate we would have had a percentage of .6S9 and would easily have won the pennant. Vaughan has made a most re- markable showing.
 Ginger Clark came near getting a good walloping yesterday but the Barons came to the rescue with the stick and pulled the game out of the hole.
 That is the first time I have tried to pitch since l was a little boy playing over on old Browns hill on the Southside," said Shorty Alexander yesterday. Alex ander is Birmingham boy and played on the vacant lots here for several years before making ball playing his profes- sion.
 The home run hit by Norcum yesterday was the first ball to be hit over the fence at Slagtown this season. Lynch has rap ped several almost to the line but they all developed into fouls. By the way Lynch has had some awful luck on his hard line drives going foul.
 Daring base running against did the business for Birmingham yesterday and Lynch Hennessey. Billy Smith, Tamsett, Duffy and Vaughan kept up their thiev ing work
 The Barons have seven games to play this week and then the season Is ended. There will be a double header with Little Rock Monday and only one game a day will be played thereafter. The ball play CTS have gotten so used to double head CTS that they look on single game as a half holiday.
 During the coming series with Little Rock Mike Finn will be seen in Birming- ham probably for the last time. Next year he goes to Toledo to manage the Mud Hens in the American association. It is probable that he will take with him several players from the Southern league. Five of his men have been drafted. Watt goes to Brooklyn and Gilbert will leave the Travellers in Birmingham to join the Pittsburg team with whom he will play at St. Louis Sunday. Anderson and Hur- ley go to St. Louis and McGee goes to Philadelphia.
 Harry Vaughan has been officially mo- tified by the Birmingham Baseball asso- citation that his services as manager are wanted next season. As soon as a con- tract is made Harry says he will begin early this fall selecting a team for next year. He wants several of his present players, but two or three of them are not under reserve. It is understood, however, that several of them want to return next season.
 It Is likely that Reagan and either Streit or Pylant will work in the double header tomorrow The first game as usual will be called at o'clock. After that the games will be called at 3:30, as there are no more double headers.
