PELICANS TOOK THREE
PRETZELs LOST GAME BY DUMB
 PLAYING.
O'Bricn Changed His Pitchers for First Time This seasOn--Lawler, the
 New Man in the GaEn@

For the first time thls season there was a change during the game in the Pretzel pitch DTS yesterday and but for some yellow work and dumb playing in the rinth inning Montgomery had an excellent chance of winning.
 In the first inning two-bagger coupled with three buched singles and Manners's wild throw to second put in three runs for the Pelicans. Then Hale came out of the box, Mccoy re- lieving him. The first man facing Mo- Coy in that inning struck out, Harry Manners throwing the next man out at second and ending tho inning, there being alre ady one out.
 Then ensued a superb exhibition oe sheer grit, pluck and q persistent up- hill fight that aroused the enthusiastic admiration of everybody on the grounds Lynch started the last half with long drive to right. got to sec ond on Busch's neat sacrifice and to third on Schwartz's infield hit, SCOT ing on Brouthers's drive for two bags.
 From then on the stickwork of the Pretzcls was terrific while the only time the Pelicans punched hits onMcCoy was in the third inning, and even then with gingery work the run should not have come in for them. Nadeau and Hahn had each hit safe, the Frenchman get ting to third. when Rohe hit one that Schwartz dug up and tossed over to Busch who was covering second. Iu- stead of making the double Busch, for some reason, held the ball. Hahn being out at second and Nadeau scoring. l leaving the score to I.
 In the last half of the third | Schwartz's two-bagger with Brouth- | erss drive. that almost took one ot l Holly's legs off. Molesworth's sacrifice and Lawler's fierce drive to Williams scored Schwartz and made the score 4 to 2.
 In the last of the fourth Manners him aapping at first. With two down Lynch drove to center and got to third | when Stanley let the ball get away | from him. scoring on Buschs drive to
 center, making the score f to 8.

The patrolmen began to look about for him and found him crouched under a wagon that was standing near the curb and dragged him out of his hiding place. He was lodged in cell at the city prison with a charge of grand larceny against his name on the police docket.

EAST ALABAMA LEAGUE.
Question of Montgomery Team UiAing
 Athletic Park Is Decided.

Athletic Park Is Decided.
 The Montgomery Traction Company yesterday morning received letter From Judge w. M. Kavanaugh, Presi- nent of the Southern League, stating that 1t remained entirely with the off, acers and directors of the Montgomery Traction Company whether or not the Montgomery team of the East Alabama League should be allowed to play on 1he Athletic Park grounds.
 It will be remembered that when the East Alabama League was formed with Opelika. Dothan, Selma and Montgom- cry teams, effort was made to secure the right to play at Athletic Park. It was at first thought that the playing of the East Alabama League teams on the Southern League grounds would be in conflict with the rules of the Southern League. Judge Kavanaugh was que- ried as to the matter, and he replied that so long as no ineligible players were allowed on the grounds and the Euuthern League Club entertained no objections, no complaint would be reg tstered by the official head of the SouthcTn League.
 The matter Is. therefore. left with the directors of the Montgomery Southern League Club.
 Manager E. J. Mahoney of tho Mont Eomery Club is awaiting developments. which he expects to come to head this week He will then begin signing q team of youngsters fast enough. to give any of the fast clubs of tho East Ala banA League a run for their money.
 A pcoposition Is on foot to make the league a six-club affair, adding Union Springs and Troy.

 The shirtwaists. which were valued at $1525, were on d counter near the front door of the store.

SMOKING a Bad Habit.

In Kalamazoo United States Senator
julius Caesar Burrows is regarded
with an W commensurate with the
Tenth Of his name, titles, and Wash
ington experience.
Julius Caesar, so the story goes,
drops into a cigar stand in one Of the
hotels and buys a bunch of cigars with
great regularity. He is an inveterate
smoker. AS he stood by the cigar
lighter and proceeded to pay the deal.
er, light his cigar, and stuff the bunch
Of all day smokers into his pocket at
the same time, he CHANGED to see two
old men wearing G. A. R. buttons, who
were sitting near by. He nodded his
recognition at them.
"John--" Puff! puff! How are
you today" Puff! puff! do you
smoker"
Yes, John smoked.
"Jim," to the other veteran, "do
YOU" Puff! puff! do you smoker
Yes, Jim smoked, too. The two vets
wet their lips with their tongues ex-
p~ectantly.

The senator turned to the clerk with
a sad look on his face.
Smoking Is a very bad habit" he
observed sagely. Then he grabbed his
change, and, putting vigorously, made
