Many fans do not understand the scor- ing rules and frequently find their scores in conflict with those in the newspapers. The rules say on a ball hit too hard to handle properly the batter should be given hit. This is also true in regard to slow hit balls. It makes no difference whether the fielders gets the ball in his hands or not. In questions of doubt always favor the batsman. The sporting editor of The Age-Herald or of the other papers would be glad to answer any questions on SCOT
 ing that might puzzle those who score for amusement in the grand stand
 case of the hard hit ball came UT yesterday when Atz stung an awful drive at Tamsett which the shortstop could not handle. Atz was given hit. | he bal hit to Hennegar was not a difficult chance, however, and he was given ar error.

 Matthews has developed a great hitting streak here lately and brought in both of Birminghams runs yesterday on clear singles He also figured in the beautiful play which kept New Orleans from tying the score.
 The star performance of yesterdays game came off when Atz was on third and Lee on first. Lee started to stea when the ball was whipped down to Tam sett who in turn shot it to Vaughan, get ting Lee in chase In the meantime Att stopped half way between third and hom, when Harry ran in behind him and threw him out at the plate. 1t was a pretty piece of headwork all around Alloway is said to be one of the greates workers on the team.

 It was a beautiful contest free from fault finding and wranging and good clean playing is alone responsible for the victory coming from the headiners IS all the more delightful Mlnahan started out with C lfidence and kept up a steady stream of blenders until he put the last man out himself on throw from Vaughan, who had made pretty scoop of Stewards grounder in the first half Of the ninth inning A
 Everybody played ball behind the faxen-haired twirler and as Charley Frank began to see that his days were numbered he settled himself in com fortable pose on the end of the Pelican bench and swallowed the dose with a gulp.
 Lee pitched nice ball for New Orleans but the Barons sneaked in smasher when lambasting was required and that tells the story.
 Matthews Does the Hitting.
 Matthews did the punching that sent both Baron runners across the plate and on top of this tribute to the hard root
 
 The prettiest play of the game came up in the fifth inning when it looked as if New Orleans were certain to score. Atz started with a safe smash to Tamsett and Fox was allowed to walk, Lee att tempted to sacrifice. but Vaughan threw Fox out at second. With one on first and one on third Stanley struck out just as Fox made a dash for second
 Matte slammed the ball to Tamsett and Atz eased up towards the plate Fox was caught in a chase while Atz gradu- ally came nearer the plate. Seeing his opportunity Father Vaughan sneaked across the diamond, got in behind Atz and nailed him as he dashed for the plate. This completed one of the prettiest double plays ever seen in the neighbor- hood of Mount Slag and robbed the poor pelicans of their only chance to win.
 Barons' First Run.
 Birmingha m S first run came in the sec ond inning when Billy Smith was passed to first by Lee on four bad balls O Brien sent him forward on a pretty bunt and Matthews drove a stinger over second, sending Smith across the plate.
 New Orleans first and only run came in the same inning when Turner start ed off with q single. Stewart bunted him to second and he scored on Atzs safe drive to left center.
 The winning run for the Barons came about in the fourth inning and thereafter not pair of spikes were planted on the home plate. O'Brien was hit by pitched ball after Smith had gone out. Hennegar then laced out a beautiful hit to center, but O Brien was stopped at second Matt hews again had the necessary goods and ripped off a beautiful single to right field, scoring OBrien on close decision at the plate.
 streit will probably pitch for Blrming- ham today and either Dunham or French will work for New Orleans. The score follows:

THE WILD HORSE RACE,
Mad Mix-Up OF Men and Horses,
Ropes and Saddles When the
Fun Begins.

In the track before the grand stand
the ten riders, each with his saddle
upon the ground and hackamore in hand,
and each accompanied by the one helper
allowed him, wait in picturesque groups
for the horses which are presently be-
ing dragged across the field through a
haze of dust, each animal holding back
on the rope, kicking, striking, fighting
for freedom every inch of the way, says
Leslie's Monthly. Not until he is blind
ed by a handkerchief or bit of gunny
sacking can he be held still at all, and
then only by a tremulous uncertainty
that turns to a frenzy OF bucking the
instant the saddle touches his back. In
the mad miX-up of men and horses, ropes
and saddles, presently developed, the
wonder is that anything can be accom-
plished. But sooner than would have
seemed possible one is in the sad
dle-or, to speak with accuracy, more or
less in the air above it; another follows
and then another, the horses all buck
ing, rearing and pitching more wildly
than ever. Then one has somehow
worked his way through the milling
mass; others are fast after him, the
riders. permitted only hackamore bri-
dies, that scarce may guide the crazed
animals at all, triumphantly waving
hats and quirts as they make off by such
eccentric sequence of bone rackine
jumps, pitches and "crow-hopping,'
that no wonder some have to pull leath-
er" While others come to grief upon
the ground.

WE 3 MANY PEOPLES
Interesting Figures About Immigra-
ton and the Countries
Contributing.

A recent consular report gives inter-
esting immigration figures. From 1918
to 1885 years-the number of immi-
grants was 81, 265, 1923, or the equivalent
of one-fourth of the total population to-
day. Of all this number the Unit
ed Kingdom, which includes the
heavy Irish inflow, contributed 50 per
cent; Germany contributed "a per
cent; Austria-Hungary Italy, Russia
and Poland furnished q per cent. But
these last named countries in 1908 fur
nished 68 per cent. of the immigration.
Europe has sent us SO per cent. of our
immigration, the western hemisphere
AZ per cent. and China and all other
Asiatic countries, Oceanica and Africa,
~ per cent. The heaviest immigration
of Irish in one year was in 1858, when
162, 649 came. The next largest from
Ireland was in 1888, when 1858 came,
Last year only $4,000 Irish came. The
highest figures for the English were
1884 in 1882. In 1854 215, 009 Germans
came and in 1882 25O,630. From 1856 to
1875 the German immigration averaged
1901 a year. Last year it was only
40,0S6. It's decline in the last ten years
has been marked. The incoming Ital-
ians last year reached their highest fig
ures, being 230,622. They passed the
100, 900 mark in 1900 and what numbers
they may attain can only be guessed at
for the tide is running high and chiefly
from southern Italy and the islands
Last year the Russian immigration
amounted to 1876, 093, while from Austria.
Hungary there came 206 oil. The i'm.
migration from the Scandinavian PENN
sula and the northern parts of Europe
which we have always considered the
most desirable, has so fallen off as tC
cease to be much of a factor in the
comparison.

IN AN OLD TRUNK.
Baby Finds a Bottle Of Carbolic Acid
and Drinks 1t.

While the mother was unpacking an
old trunk a little 18 months old baby
got hold of a bottle Of carbolic acid
while playing on the floor and his stom-
ach was so badly burned it was feared
he would not live for he could not eat
ordinary foods. The mother says in
telling of the case:
1T was all two doctors could do to
save him as it burnt his throat and
stomach so bad that for two months
after he took the poison nothing would
lay on his stomach. Finally l took him
into the country and tried e milk
and that was no better for him. His
Grandma finally suggested Grape-Nuts,
and / am thankful | adopted the food
for he commenced to get better right
away and would not eat anything else.
He commenced to get fieshy and his
cheeks like red roses and now he is en-
tirely well.
81 took him to Matamoras on a visit
and every place we went to stay to eat
he called for Grape-Nuts and I would
have to explain how he came to call for
1t as it was his main food.
"The names Of the physicians who at
tended the baby are DR.. Eddy Of this
town and DR.. Geo. Gale Of Newport, O.,
and anyone can write to me or to them
and learn what Grape-Nuts food will do
for children and grown-ups too" Name

Impressions. of High Speed.

l made two trips in each car of the
IA miles of track. At the end of the
first mile the car was going 70 miles
an hour; at the end of the second mile
between 80 and 100. In fact, my inter-
est was so aroused by the rapidity with
which the speed indicator hand kept
jumping up, that we were running a
hundred miles an hour before | thought
to look out Of the window. When l did
l was disappointed. 1t was evident we
were travelling at tremendous speed,
but the car was very steady, and there
was nothing exciting. The sensation
was about the same as that which a
passenger on the Lake Shore road gets
when the train is running 10 miles on
hour. Later, as l stood by the side Of
the motoneer, or with the brakeman
at the rear, the sensation was far more
vivid.
Standing just behind the motor
wheel in the front of the car, one is
far nearer the track than he is when in
a steam engine, and the frightful rate
at which the track is being devoured
is more evident. The empact of flies,
bees, and even birds upon the curved
glass front of the car serves to height
en- the effect. | must confess that |
held my breath as l saw the curve
come in sight. Apparently the track
ended, and the car seemed directed
straight into the air at a speed suffi-
cient to send it flying over into the Ger
man ocean. AS it glided smoothly
round the curve the sensation was
something like that which one has in
an express elevator in n OF oul
