BARONS RETURN HOME FOR
ALONG SERIES OF GAMES

Rock three straights were captured, while
Shreveport captured three out of four,
the other being a tie. New Orleans made
it three straight and the Barons won two
from Memphis and tied one.
A little luck with the team would have
won two or three out of the Shreveport
and New Orleans series combined but
everything went against the Barons True.
they did not hit the ball except OCCASION
ally, and when they did, It seemed that
the opposing team would turn loose and
tie the score.

discuss ways and means of improving the
team and getting what men Manager

The road trip did not prove as disas-

home with a percentage of 4SS, having won
six games and lost eight games besides
tying a couple one with Shreveport and
one with Memphis.

MORE HEATED DISCUSSION,
Article vi of Famous Bill In France Is
Adopted.

Paris, May 2S.-The Chamber of
Deputies, after three hours of heated
discussion, adopted article of
the church and state separation BILL
The article is considered Objectionable
by the opposition, as it leaves the de-
cision of disputes regarding the hand
ing over of churches with depart
mental authorities, instead of the civil
courts clause originally provided,
which, it is alleged, will lead to politi-
cal intrigues.
A section of the article reads:
where a church has not handed
over its property to a newly created
parochial Catholic society within the
prescribed time limit, the project is
authorized to issue a decree nominat-
ing a society for entire possession.
Should several societies make the
claim, the state council sholl decide"

Con day.)

Memphis, May 2s.-(Special )-Rain which
fell in torrents at the conclusion of the
second inning of today's game between
Birmingham and Memphis enabled Arthur
Ragan, the Barons twirler, to shine in
using the moistened or so-called spit
ball and local fanatics were inclined to
regard his performance as the best seen
here this year, as he completed the nine
round giving up but one simon pure
Memphians with four. Raglan was mas
ter at all times and despite seven err
rors, coming at random, the visitors won
rather easily, Clark's homer in the
eighth clnching the contest. Score, to 1.
More than three thousand spectators
witnessed the Sunday performance and
a majority wished that the deluge had
continued. With the aid of several cart
loads of sawdust sprinkled on the wet
diamond, however, the contest was re-
sumed after about 30 minutes delay.
Neither team had scored and counts con-
tinued to remain in the background until
Delehanty smashed one at Collins too hot
to handle. Smith singled, advancing
Delehanty to second, but was pushed out
when Clark tapped to Heir. Smith, how
ever, reaching second on the play
Schippy's safe drive to left brought
Smith home. In the fifth Hurlburt beat
out mlscue to Hafford and Ragan's wild
return of Hers bunt sent Hurlburt to
third, Herr reaching second. Rafter
grounded out Moore to Miller, but dump
: ed a tantilizing grounder TO Ragan's
| left and Hurlburt beat it home with the
only local tally of the day. Hafford' 8

steal and Hennessy's single added the
! Baron run that would have won, but
Clark caught a speedy one on the end
! of the bat in the eighth and drove 1t to
! the bleachers sending Miller home ahead,
for which stunt a loyal Alabama rooter
tossed Clark a handful of silver. Ragan's
/ cool-headedness asserted Itself in THE
third inning when he was confronted

thrown out at the plate while he struck

Grand theatre at o'clock tonight gives
every promise of going far beyond the
most sanguine expectations Of the meE
who inaugurated it. One thousand tax
payers signed the protest against grant
ing the extension Of franchise to the Utah
Light & Railway company, and the call
for the meeting This. il is said by those
who circulated the papers, represents only
a small fraction of the body OF mon
ready to go into this movement.

which would make the last of them

and to accept a much shorter extern
sion, not TO exceed thirteen years,
which would limit them to fifty-fiVe
Public opposition to the proposed ex-
tension for fifty years has been 90 pro-
nounced, and so much has been said
about the attempt of the officials of
the company to use as a club over
Cottonwood creek, which the city must
have in order to complete its proposed
water system, that the friends of the
company among the members of the
council have hesltated to go on record
as favoring any kind of an extension.
Proposal From Light Company.
A city official said yesterday that at
the next joint meeting of the council
municipal laws aud special water COM
mitteeS a proposition will be made by
a duly authorized representative of the
Utah Light & Railway company to
accept a consolidation and extension
of its franchises so as to have the con-
solidated franchise expire sixty years
from 1900. which would give IT fifty
five years to run.
In consideration Of this extension the
company will transfer for 81 to Salt
Lake City the water right along Big
Cottonwood creek that the city is de-
sirous Of Incorporating I'm the proposed
extension of its water system
1t is believed that a proposition of
this kind will meet with comparatively
little opposition either in the council
or on the part of the people of Salt
Lake. as it would really extend the
life.of the company not to exceed thir-
teen years.
The man who made that statement
that proposition to accept d, thirteen
years extension would come from the
Utah Light & Railway company is in
a position to know what he is talking
about, and is not addicted to dispensing
hot air." so that it can be taken for
granted that the proposition viii be
forthcoming at the next joint meeting
of the council municipal laws and spe-
cial water committee. which will put
an entirely new phase on the matter
Prospects For Passage.
1t remains to be seen what action
the council will take on the new appli-
cation. Notwithstanding the vigorous
public opposition to the demand for
fifty years extension, there has been
n strong suspicion among those Ia
miliar with the personnel of the coun-
ell that some time i'll the not distant
future the necessary number of the
