steamships that we're then conspicuous were as familiar to the general public then as are the Deutschland, the Kaiser Wilhelm H., the Lucania and the Celtic of today.
 where is the world?" cried Young at eighty, "Where?" And where are these ships of dozen years past? It is interest ing to trace their history. The French liner Bourgone was one of these. She Is now with the green navy mouldering in the bottom of the midAtlantic. The wreck of the Elbe Is In the SCOUT of the channel tile, sent there by blundering crathie which crushed in her sides one stormy night.
 The Saale, of the same line, plunged un- der in the waters of New York Bay on the day of the great Hoboken fire-went down a flame eaten wreck to be subsequently, resurrected and sent afioat once more as the J. L. Luckenbach, now in the oil car rying business between this port and Gal weston.
 The Ems, the Werra. the Havel and the Fulda have all been sold to Russia. The Spree, another vessel of this line, Is now slSnown as the Kaiserin Maria Theresa and Is employed on some other route.
 Likewise the White Star liner Germanic. which disappeared so quietly as hardly to be missed. is rounding out her days as the Ottawa, of the International Mercan- tile Marine company. The old lnman liner City of Berlin was sold to this country at the beginning of the war with Spain and is now known as the United States transport Logan.
 Turning to the Cunaders of that time, the Aurania is long since out of commis- sion, and 1t speaks well for her single crew consorts, the Umbria and the Etru- ria, that they are still in service.
 The old Inman liner City of Paris, which shortened her name to Paris only when she substituted the American for the Brit is flag, was known for a brief period during the Spanish war as the scout Yale. and now has the name Philadelphia paint ed on her stern. The Guoin racers, which cut a swath on the ocean race course a few years back, have vanished from At lantic waters, some broken up, others sold or in different services.
 Summed up, of the vessels which were scheduled to sail from this port during the first weeks of the Mayor thirteen years ago only two are now in the trans Atlantic service. these being the Cunar- der Umbria and the Philadelphia, then the Inman liner City of Paris.

 Atlanta, Ga, August 11.-(Special.)- Poor hitting, loose fielding and dumb play ing lost two games for Atlanta today. while the Barons, taking advantage of Atlanta's misplays, had rather an easy time. Score. first game: Birmingham 1; Atlanta 1. Second game: Birmingham 2; Atlanta l.
 Moren pitched the first and lost through a combination of hits in one inning. in which he let down perceptibly. and Rube Raymond tried the second and came out at the llNle end, with little honor as a result of the afternoons encounter with the Barons
 In the first game Atlanta was ahead for three innings by one run. but in the fourth Birmingham scored four runs and won the game. Delehanty started off with double to left and Dusty Miller brought him in with a double to the beer sign Hennessy singled and Dusty counted. Matthews and Moore followed with sin gles, on which Hennessy and Matthews scored. Lew then filled the bases with free passes but the side was retired with out additional runs.
 In the second game Birmingham scored in the second inning when Miller drew base on balls, went to second on Staff ford's error in failing to hold Raymond s throw, and was out at third when he tried to work a double steal with Hen messy, who had walked to first. Mat thews followed with walk and Moore singled scoring the run.
 Atlanta scored in the fourth inning, when Jordan doubled to center, went to third on an infield out, and scored on pop to center by Bernie McCay. The re- turn was wild of the plate and Jordan had no trouble In coming in.
 The winning run was scored in the seventh when Matthews reached first on Morse's error was sacrificed to second and brought In home by Hafford's single. The game was called at the end of the inning. Dusty Miller hit the beer sign for two doubles during the afternoon.

South Atlantic Claims Man Recently
 Acquired By New Orleans.

Little Rock, Ark, August 11.-(Special) President Kavanaugh today received advices from Secretary Farrell of the National association that Jacksonville, in the South Atlantic league. claims the ser vices of Pitcher Moxie Manuel, who was obtained from the Cotton States league and is now a member of the New Orleans team He wired Manager Frank, who re- piled that he bought Manuel some time ago and that he would send evidence to support his claim to Secretary Farrell.
 President Kavanaugh has been advised that the national committee will meet in Cincinnati instead of Chicago, August 15, and he will probably attend the meeting, which will probably take up the charges against H. c. Griffths.
 Empires will work next week as fol- lows: Ehret at Nashville; Carpenter at Birmingham; Pfenninger at Little Rock, Sheibeck at Chattanooga.

SLACPILE NOTES

Dusty Miller got back into the game yesterday and swatted the sphere for a pair of doubles in the first game. Niles and Delehanty also copped out two- sacker each.
 Two from the puffed up Bremen in a single afternoon and one of these won off the muchly-touted Raymond. Maybe the Gate City fans are not as sore as carbuncles this morning.
 Rip Ragan delivered the goods in first class style in the opening seance, and long boy Sallee was there with the pep per in the second matinee. Moore's call down here on Wednesday seems to have "helped some" Freddie got bingle in each game yesterday. He
 made one fielding pebble in the last con- test.
 Rip Ragan is the black beast of the Atlanta gang Four singles yesterday and the Bremen were lucky to get a
 man across the plate. Sallees control was again a feature of his slab work The youthful giant did not walk man. hit no one and made no wild pitches. southpaw under 20 years of age who can do this and allow but seven hits is made of the real 1s-carat stuff

 Tim Hurst last night closed a deal in behalf of the Highlanders for the pur- chase of George Moriarity. the American assocation's star third baseman. He will join the New York team next season. Although the price was not disclosed, 1t is undoubtedly high as President Grillo, of the Toledo club, thought well of his third sacker.
 Moriarity is without doubt the best all-round third baseman in the minor leagues today. His work this year show
