 Single.
STANDING.

Montgomery. August 17.-(Speclal)- l)-The patched-up Coal Barons were unable to solve the delivery of Roy Hale this af- ternoon, and were vanqnlshed by the score of to 1. Hale was in superb form, and after the first inning the visitors could not cross the rubber.
 Only two bingles were secured off his delivery, one by Smith in the first and the other by Adkins in the second. Hale not only pitched great game. but was responsible in large measure for the victory of his teammates as his single over second scored two runs and his double to left center in the seventh scored another.
 Dessau was on the firing line for the visitors and was touched up pretty hard. The Climbers landed on his benders for fourteen safe bingles and seemed to be able to solve his delivery at the right time.
 Birmngham's only run came in the first Inning. when Montgomery was given free transportation, was sacrificed to second by Niles and scored on Smiths bingle by second. Montgomery scored one in the second. when Dessau forced run over the plate by giving base on balls to Molesworth. Two more came In the fifth on singles by Durret, Null laney a sacrifice and Hale's single. One more was added in the seventh and the last came in the eighth.

STRIKING PLAYERS
 INTERVIEW MIR. BAUGH

President R. H. Baugh of the Birming- ham Baseball association received calls yesterday from Hafford and Delehanty, two of the striking Birmingham players.
 Hafford took a somewhat high tack when he first addressed President Baugh, demanding railroad transportation to Boston. He said this was in the con tract he had signed with the Birming- ham club. MT. Baugh told Hafford that while his contract contained that stipu- lation 1t also stated that the trans portation was to be furnished at the close of the season MT. Baugh said he was of the opinion that Hafford had failed to carry out his contract with the Birmingham club and that really was in debt to the local association. Hafford was told In no uncertain terms by Mir Baugh that the Birmingham Baseball as- sociation would have no more negotia- tions with the deserters under any cir cumstances. Hafford left then after say ing that he had acted hastily in the mat ter of leaving the team in the lurch and that he should have remonstrated with Manager Vaughan about the fine which he thought unjust

Frank Delehanty was the next caller on President Baugh. Delehanty said he had heard that he was about to be sold to the New York Americans and that if he was he wanted a part of the purchase money MT. Baugh told Dele hanty that all negotiations for his sale were off and that he would not be sold. MT. Baugh also informed Delehanty that even if his services were disposed of to any club, and the Birmingham associa- tion got as much as 5000 for him the as sociation would not give him one copper out of the purchase money.
 The firmness of the local association in dealing with the deserters Is com mended on all sides and every loyal fan in the city hopes that the magnates of the Birmingham club will continue their policy. When asked last night what chance the offending players had to get back into good standing with the local club President Baugh answered signifi- cantly:
 As far as we are concerned the play ing days of these men are over.'

Acting Sheriff Albert Stradford stated last night that he did not consider 1t necessary and advisable to move the jail from its present location.
 If the county needed new jail" said MT. Stradford, 'the question of erecting it on different site might be considered. Under those conditions l doubt if 1t would be advisable to change the loca- ton. The county jail, the sheriffs office and the courts must be within a short distance of one another. It might be l good idea to remodel the exterior of the old jail building, but no improvements are needed on the new rock building The interior of the jail is in good condition and can accommodate almost double the number of prisoners that it now has,
 The resolution adopted by the board of aldermen authorizing the communi- cation in regard to changing the location of the county prison was introduced by Alderman Forney The board of reve- nue will be in session several days next week and during that time the communi- cation from the city will probably be

NOT PRACTICABLE
 ID REMOVE JAIL Members of Board of Revenue Do Not Consider it Advisable MIR. STAMFORD TALKS Hugh McGeever Does Not Think the Present Board of Revenue
 Will Favor the
 Change.

When the Board of Revenue convenes next Monday communication will prob, ably be ready from the Board of Alder men in regard to changing the loca- ton of the county jail
 From statements by several members of the board yesterday 1t is not very prob able that the proposition to move the jail will meet with the approval of the board.
 Hugh McGeeyer, member of the board, when seen yesterday expressed the senti- ment of the board in the following state- ment
 While a less conspicuous site for tho jail would be desirable there is no place to which the prison could be moved that would be accessible to the court house. It is essential that the jail be near the court house to facilitate the transfer of prisoners to and from the court
 Moving the jail from its present loca- ton would be a heavy expense on the county and I am sure that the present board will consider it impractical. The county jail Is enough for present needs and no additions will be required for sev- eral years to come.
 Might Beautify Jail.
 One objection to the jail is that it is a drawback to the residence property in that section of the city. If the exterior of the jail were improved and rendered less objectionable to the eye, l believe that the trouble would be partially rem edied. The same problem of the location of jails has confronted other cities and counties, and no solution seems to have been found. In Atlanta and other southern cities the county Jail is situated in a thicly populated portion of the city.
 Even if the county was able to stand the expense of the change, l do not think it would be advisable inasmuch as 1t is necessary for the county jail and the court house to be near each other. A new location few blocks from the pres ent site would not remedy the trouble. It seems to be the idea of those pro- noting the change that the new loca- ton of the jail should be on the out

PRESIDENT OF CINCINNATI CLUB OFFERS USE OF BASEBALL PARK TO ANY HOMELESS CLUB IN THE SOUTHERN LEAGUE.

Little Rock. August 17.--(Special.)- President Kavanaugh returned today from Cincinnati, where he attended the meet ing of the national commission. While in Cincinnati he was told by Garry Her mann. president of the Cincinnati Ma tional League club that any Southern league team deprived of a home by the yellow fever scare would be welcome to the use of the Cincinnati park.
 President Kavanaugh has advised the Birmingham club that he approves its action in suspending Miller, Hennessy, Hafford, Ragan, Moore and Delehanty for refusing to play Tuesday. He says that if they do not return to the game at once their names will be sent to the national association to place upon the in- eligible list.
 President Baugh of the Birmingham Baseball association, had a telegram from President Kavanaugh late yesterday af- ternoon. which said;
 "l approve your action in suspendng n- definitely Miller, Hennessy. Hafford, Moore Delehanty and Ragan If they are not reinstated by your association I will report the matter to President Far rell of the National association, and the men will be placed on the blacklist
 This telegram makes 1t look as If the suspended players are in for trouble of the most serious nature, as the local magnates are all determined to punish the disloyal players to the extreme limit
 Deehanty was to have left last night for Cleveland. Miller. Moore, Hafford, Hennessy and Ragan are still in the city. What their plans are for the future Is known only to themselves.
