The crippled Barons left for Nashville

Harry Vaughan takes a scout for new
players.

TO Birmingham. Joined the Barons here
last night and will probably twirl one of
the Nashville games.
Manager Vaughan stated last night
that he was negotiating for four or five
new men and expected to land at least a
pair of them within the next day or two.
Vaughan will probably leave the city to-
night for a scout through some of the
South Atlantic league cities and will try
to secure two or three of the best players
to be had from that organization.

strike ." said Harry last night, and We
haven't given up hope of finishing in
good position in the race. If any good
men are to be had at this season of the
year we are going to try to put our hand
on a few of them We realize, however,
that 1t will be very hard to get any real
good players Just at this period of the
season. But there's no harm in trying,
concluded the stalwart manager.

THE AMATEURS
Mickey o'Brien's Letter.

Sporting Editor of The Age-Herald
1 notice, according to your paper, that
Mr.. Pratt, manager of the Pell City base
ball club claims the state amateur
championship, but our town, Pratt City,
says nay as we have challenged them
four or five times and have not received
a reply. l think he is to the bad now
in putting us off so long, as all of our
boys are back for the season and are
ready to defend or play for the title In
behalf of our burg. So that Is why we
will play them one or more games for
the honor and also make good side bet
We will squander as much as 800 on our
chances. We are also open for games
with any other team which lays claim
to the championship honors. We hope
to hear from Manager Pratt of Pell City,
and also all other clubs which want to
play for the championship honors.

Hope springs eternal in the human
throax, and hence the fans of seven cities
are still hoping that the Pittsburg crowd
can overtake New York. writes w A.
Phelon, In Chicago Journal. The more
closely the situation is studied the more
improbable the feat appears, but there
is still a slender chance, and to that
chance the enemies of McGraw will pin
all hope until the thing Is settled one
way or the other.
The defeat which Philadelphia gave
Pittsburg yesterday made the margin be-
tween New York and the Pirates just
eight games won and eight lost. How
fast, therefore. must Dreyfuss' crowd go
to over1ake and pass the bad men of
Manhattan?
Each team has forty-nine games to
play. If McGraw's men win twenty-five
and lose twenty-four, they will finish the
season with ninety-nine won and fifty
five lost To beat them out by a one
game margin the Pirates must win thirty
four and lose only fifteen That Is pace
which is a bit strenuous for Pittsburg
and wholly comfortable for New York.
1t Is far more likely that New York will
win thirty at least of the forty-nine
games II this should prove to be the
case, the Giants will end with 104 games
won and fifty lost. To beat that Pitts
burg must win thirty-nine and lose only
ten Pittsburg cannot do 1t. Not in
fifty efforts. Hence the good people of
seven cities might as well take their
medicine gracefully and the rooters of
Manhattan can prepare to yell
Chicago and Philadelphia, of course,
are as far out of it as though they were
in the moon, but, although helpless as
far as the pennant is concerned, are

likely to haul down Pittsburg and take
second away from Barney. Figure out
the chances of downing the Pieplaters.
Should Pittsburg win thirty of the re-
naming forty-nine games and thus finish
with ninety-six won and fifty-six lost,
the Cubs will have to win thirty-six
games and lose only eleven In order to
pass the Smokes, Chicago still having
forty seven to play. This is as imposs-
BILE task as the job set for Pittsburg.
But this must be remembered: The strain
of a hopeless chase after New York Is
likely to break Pittsburg down 50 thor
oughly that the Pirates will win not only
twenty-five of their forty-nine games,
finishing with ninety-one won and sixty
three lost. To beat that the Cubs must
win thirty-one and lose sixteen, feat
by no means impossible. Get busy

ICE WAR is ON.
Cut Is Made in the Price BY Atlanta
Manufacturers.

Atlanta. August .-(Special.)--A cut of
cents per 100 has been made in the price
of ice here, as the result of the recent
opening of the plant of the Independent
Ice company. This new company made the
first reduction and the other companies
have come to 1t. This means that an Ice
war is on. and the price will probably
go still lower for the rest of the sum-
mer until the new plant is absorbed, as
It is thought that will probably be the
final result.
The old companies recently shipped
lot of ice to Columbus and sold 1t below
the local prices there. because they
thought there was some connection be-
tween the Independent company and the
Columbus companies. Such however, Is
not the case, and 1t is generally thought
the old companies got bit.

ALAMEDA TOOK
RECORD RICE CARGO
THE VESSEL GOT AWAY THIS
MORNING FOR SAN FRANCISCO
WITH FEW PASSENGERS.

The S. S. Alameda was twenty min
utes late departing this morning for
San Francisco. She was held until
1920 a. m. waiting for the fumgated
baggage of the steerage passengers.
Despite the small crowd of people
departing by the vessel and despite the
wet weather. there was a good sized
crowd at the Oceanic wharf to see the
vessel depart. There was the greatest
profusion of leis worn by various pas
sengers leaving by the vessel.
But if the cabins of the vessel Were
not crowded her holds were, for she
was 'chock' full of freight Among
the principal shipments were 10 tons
of taro flour, 24O tubs of saki, 1915 bags
of rice, 1245 bags of sugar, so bags of
coffee, 300 crates fresh pineapples, $500
punches bananas, 400 empty wine
casks and 400 bundles of hides. The
shipment of rice was especially heavy,
it being the largest cargo of Hawaiian
rice ever sent out of these islands.
The vessel carried a large quantity of
mail as she will be the last vessel to
reach San Francisco in time for the
distribution of Christmas presents.
E. NJ. Shaw, formerly of the light
house and buoy service, departed for
San Francisco to engage in business.
He has severed his connection with
that branch of the Federal service.
Mrs. j. D. Jewett and two children
left for San Francisco. Her husband
has some mining property in Nevada.
Miss K Mccarthy of w. w. Dimond
& Company, and Miss e. Suffer of w.
G. Irwin & Company, were departing
passengers for Christmas vacation at
home.
H. c. Graham of the freight depart
ment of the Oceanic S. S. Company, left
for home after pleasant visit to Ho-
nOlulu.
