the same old string of fans will be pour
ing in great flood of humanity
II know that the people wanted to see
a post series championship, but the con-
ditions Were such that New York could
not play 1t. Mr.. Bush and others hated
not to give the people what they wanted,
but the team will be in series of that
kind this year. We do not fear a change
of favor"
Ex-President Nicklin of the Southern
league. who lives in Chattanooga, was a
guest at the. baseball park yesterday af-
ternoon. and saw Sammy Strang, his son,
put the willow to the ball in manner
that made the heart of the fond parent
wax warm within him.
The former President is well known In
Birmingham and has many friends here.
He was shaking hands on all sides yes
terday afternoon, and receiving congratu-
lations on Sammy's great stick work
Miss Mary Sullivan, who was assistant
secretary of the Cincinnati team when
John I. Brush, now president and ma
jority stakeholder of the New York Ma
tons, was at the head of the Reds. Mr..
Brush said yesterday afternoon that he
had never known a woman who had as
iluSu dDiiity as MISS sullivan, as Sne ndu
kept the accounts of that club straight
for eleven years and never made a mis-
take. Miss Sullivan and several of her
friends were the guests of the New York
management.
Scopec, bat carrier-mascot of the
Barons, never misses a game. and when
his money runs out he always has plan
ready to gain entrance at the gate Yes
terday afternoon Charles Murphy, assist
ant secretary of the Giants, was the in
nocent accomplice and victim.
About fifteen minutes before time to
call the game Scopec dashed up to the
gate, presented a telegram addressed to
Mr.. Murphy and was admitted to deliver
the message. He handed the envelope tc
Mr.. Murphy. who was on the gate, and
without seconds pause, dashed out OF
sight into the crowd going into the grand
stand.
Inside the envolpe was a blank tee-
gram. Murphy stakes his reputation that
he was not in cahoots with Scopec to
get the latter into the game. He says he
thought that all the smart boys were in
New York, but that he has learned q
new stunt.
Fred Moore is still covering ground
around second. He ate UP two hot ones
yesterday that looked good for singles

GIANTS WINNERS
IN SECOND GAME
Score Ended 12to 2 for the
Giants
M'GlNNlTY THE PITCHER
The RarOns Were a Little stiff as a
Result of tbs Game Friday, But
Played seasonable
Ball.


The Giants made an even dozen runs
yesterday afternoon, and the Barons made
a pair, both of which came In the last
inning and were earned. So ended the Sec
ond game of the practice season.
From the second inning the visitors
found the ball frequently and for long
hits, while the locals did not begin to
connect until the last of the ninth, when
they surprised Ames by landing on three
of his benders and getting two runs.
The weather gave indications of being
very bad yesterday and kept large num-
Der of people away from West End, but
at that there were over 100 people for ev-
cry run that was made.
Runs Commence.
The run getting started in the second
inning, when Mertes hit for three bags
to right and Dahlen doubled to left, max
ing one score. In the third Don1in started
things rolling with a single. Browne.
triplea to left and Big Dan McGann
doubled to the same place, scoring
Browne.
In the fourth a couple more were made
on Devlins double and Gilbert's single to
tbs infeld. The ball was thrown wild to
first by Wagner and bounded over the
left field fence, allowing Gilbert to circle
the bases.
Sammy stranG. the old Chattanooga boy
and son of Ex-President Nicklin, of the
Southern league, went into the game in
tie sixth and did marvellous work with
his stick He was up three times, and Sc
cured a triple and and two doubles, all
of which were clean hits. Sammy is be-
coming a mighty power with the stick.
and If he finishes the season as he has
commenced it, Napoleon Lajoie had bet
ter look to certain konors that he has
been claiming.
UnIucky Inning.
The seventh the Barons' old unlucky in
ming, produced five runs for the New
Workers, a result of some hard hitting
and some bad luck for Birmingham. Ames
struck out and Donlin got a walk. He
promptly steals the next bag and scores
on Brownies single Moore and Schiap let
AtcGann's and Mertes' grounders through
them, and Browne scored. Strang and
Devlin singled and two scores were made.
Strang came home on a long fly to left.
The last run was in the eighth on Donlin' 8
double and three outs.
In the ninth Murdoch hit beauty
through the pitcher and Father Vaughan
was there for two Dagger, scoring Muir
dock. Mosre turned loose a single and
1t was an easy thing for Dad to come
home.
The crowd grew enthusiastic in the
ninth.

FLAG ETIQUETTE,


 There have been mistakes made about the etiquette of the flag in Chi cago. The Ghicagoan should not make them twice. When President William Mckinley was assassinated four years ago, thousands of loyal Americans raised flags at half-mast over their places of business, and let them fly by night and by day until they wore out. They undoubtedly though they were showing inspect to McKinleys memory but they were not showing proper re- spect to the flag The United stato~ Government displayed at that time it's flags at lalf-mast from sunrise to sunset from the Presidents death un- til his hui;ial. The Government regmIa- tions provide that on the death of a President in office, ite i".
 displayed at half-mast only one day.
 In memory of the 35G,OOO Union so,ui- CTS who lost their lives during the CIVIL war; on May 30, Memorial Day, each yesF, the United States displays its flag at half-staff at all army posts stationsI and national cemeteries, from sunrise till midday. Immediately be- %N"N AAO1 " dAA Se lS p1dy6u Dy the Ddn0 or Held music, and the national salute Of twerity-one guns is fired. At the conclusion of this memorial tribute at noon, the flag is hoisted to the top of the staff and remains there until sun. set. Tlae idea is that the national en sign is too sacred an object to be lons in mourning for any man or number oI men, no matter how exalted their rank
 The flag reversed, with the union down, indicates distress. The flag or anything but fort, actually besiged should never be displayed between sunset and sunrise.
 r When the flag is to be displayed Al halfinast, it is lowered to that position form the top of the staff. It is hoiste, to the top before 1t is finally lowered.
 The regulation of the Board ot Education of Cicago are that that flas 1 shall be displayed on all schoolho,,se, on Monday mornings during the schoo year and on legal holidays. exceptin, thaF flags must not be displayed dur ing storms whenever they are likely f, inPire or destroy the flag.-Washine ton Post.

THE PERsrsrENT POLES.

The Poles present remarkable in- stance of persistent resistance to as- similation. Bismarck applied $2O.0OO,- 900 in acquiring land from Polish land- holders to sell to immigrant Germans, with the object of Germanizing the country and displacing disIoyal Poles with good and faithful Teutons. Later $20,OO0,O0O more was applied to this purpose, and still later $50O00,000 But the result is disappointing, inasmuch as more Germans are being displaced. by Poles in Poland than Poles are being displaced by Germans, and the Poles are, besides, acquiring land largely in German provinces outside Poland, and are thus making larger Poland. By January l, 1904, the German manage ment of the colonizing enterprise had bought 405 Polish estates and 226 peas- ant farms, with an aggregate area of 726 square miles. About 49,O0O Ger mans had been planted in Poland. Strong efforts were made on other lines to Germanize the country by teaching German in Polish primary schools and by systematic effort to discourage Polish national aspirations. But in the Contemporary Review Emil Glyskov shows that the Poles are likewise very active. By a concerted movement they have, 1t would seem, defeated the Governments enterprise Some 5000 more Polish homes have been created than German. The average German farm has 26 acres, while the Pole is content with 12, his standard of living being perhaps lower. While the Ger mans were acquiring 3,772 estates from Polish owners the Poles have bought 5,1SS estates from Germans.
 It's hard to keep good men down.

ALL RTGHT SO FAB.

The cut matter is still being dis cussed. and there are no signs that the discussion is nearing an end. Though this discussion may go on like the poets brook. it is cheering to be able to announce that the signs are that the generous offer of Henry F. English to the city is not destined to fall into discussion, Monday evening, the Board of Aldermen having been officially no- tlfied of the offer, unanimous consent for the immediate consideration of it was asked for by Alderman Langley, and it was granted. Alderman Hamil- ton moved that the gift be accepted and that the board of finance be or- dered to make the necessary appropria- ton of s8OOO in the fall. This was unanimously carried and then Alder man Smith moved that a vote of thanks, on behalf of the city. be sent to Mir, English by the city clerk, and this motion was also unanimously carried.
 This looks all right, and so far, so good. But We must walk softly until the matter is entirely settled. Per haps "Verltas," Pro Bono Publico, " and "one Who Knows" are even now agitating the contents of their think tanks and getting ready to write to their favorite paper.
