AS the visitors lined up today they
were completely outclassed by Nashville.
They fielded loosely and besides were I'M

bingles. After the third round they never
reached the third pillow. Dessau, who
opposed the local slab was hit freely He
was also very wild. walking four men,
hitting two and making two wild pitches.
Norcum got a couple of nice triples off
him.
Anderson. Murch and Smith put up a
very rank article. Each had errors that
were costly. Smith failed to field a
grounder hit to center on one occasion
and the batter took three bases. Two
men scored on the play. The errors by
the other two men also let In runs.
Although no statement was given out
by the Barons 1t was learned today that
Birmingham is on the trail of several

cotton and Powder In
Cigar Box.

New York. August 21.-Gun cotton
enough to kill a man arranged in an in
fernal machine and disguised as gift
cigar box, was received today by Pre-
cinct Police Captain Miles OReilly.
This is the third deadly explosive in
strument of similar construction sent
through New York mails in the last four
days, the other two having been re-
ceived last Friday by Jacob II. Schiff,
the banker. and NJ Guggenheim Sons.
Captain O'Relly received a cigar box
which In weight and every other detail
mislead him into taking 1t for a genuine
present. Unusually heavy and tenacious
nails fastening down the cover. however.
caused a suspicion. When the box had
been carefully opened at the ends.
matches were found glued to its inner
surface in such manner that they
would be ignited on emery paper by the
Erection necessary to raise the lid. The
police found that the flare of one-half
dozen matches would have caused the
death of Captain ORery.
A detective carried q tiny portion of
guncotton and powder which nearly filled
the box into the cellar, and then touched
match to it. The resulting explosion
was heard on the upper floors of the po-
lice station.

of games played is considered. while
Hahn, the primer swatsman of the New
Orleans team, has taken drop. Dele
hantys average up to the time he got
out of the game was .327. while Hahn's
average has fallen to 29S. Niles has bat
ted at a 1892 clip since he became a
member of the Baron squad. The figures
given herewith include all games up to
Sunday.
Olding and Wordsworth are the only
Montgomery players batting as good as
800, the formers figures being .334 and
the latters 1902, Nashville has but one
man in the charmed circle of hitters-
McFarland-who has an average of .322.
However, he has played but ten games
and Norcum and Bennett are the real
leaders Of the Finnanders' swatting bril-
gade with .293 each.
