Prophets and Scientists Diff
fer as to the Probable
Life of sthe World

Prophets and scientists recently
have become actiye in predicting tte
probable duration Of the worlds ex-
isteace, and there develops differ
ence Of few million years in their
conclusions. Those outside the pale
of prophecy and science must there
fore continue TO plod along trusting to
fate for warning when the grand
finale is near.
Professor Thomas c. Chamberlin Of
the University Of Chicago a few days
ago gave out the encouraging an
noupeement that the world had about
lco,ooo.000 years yet to exist ~ a
condition favorable to human life. He
based his opinion ON the evidence left
by the past iOo.O0O.OOO years IA the
rocks and mountains. He views
earthquakes ana volcanic disturbances

tle old planet

has settled himself with the conviction
that Professor chamberlin Is correct,

PuLLlAM is CANDIDATE.
Will Again Seek Presidency of the Ma
tionaI Baseball League.

Pittsburg, August 31.-Harry C. Pull
liam, president of the National Base
ball league, who arrived in Pittsburg
today made the announcement that he
would be candidate for reelection as
chief executive of that organization at
its next annual meeting in December
During the day Mr.. 'Pulliam issued a
statement addressed to all club presi-
dents and patrons of the National, de-
filming his position. In part, he says:
Il have been faithful to my trust all
these years. My administration has
been an honest one, and | leave it to
the league to say whether it has been
an efficient administration. If it has
not been. | would not be reelected.
81 am opposed to the brand of sports
manship known as 'McGrawism.'
am opposed to permitting any club bar
ring a legal umpire in championship
game, much less strong club with a
royal chance for the pennant and with
the knowledge of a stretch of twenty
five games at home as a wind-up to
say to the National league umpires:
"'You can only umpire in our
grounds If you decisions are agreeable
to our manager
If he is defeated Mr.. Pulliam says he
will retire permanently from profess
sional baseball.

August-well, there isn't any winning
lead, then.-Cleveland News
Harry Vaughn, manager of the Birming-
ham team, was somewhat wroth today at
reports which have been going the rounds
that he is antagonstic to Southern League
President Kavanaugh
Whatever may have emanted from Bir-
mngham had no start from myself or the
officials of the Birmingham club l have
been in baseball for many years, and [
know practical baseball man when [ see
and meet him. Judge Kavanaugh is one
of the greatest men in minor league base
ball today. He made the Southern league
and went into the big council and told
them that we had the goods and must be
respected. l have had technical arguments
with the judge but that Is all a part of
the game. If we lose Kavanaugh as our
leader, I know of no one in this land who
can take his place. This pettlfogglng stuff
which has created the impression that the
Birmingham Baseball association is
against Judge Kavanaugh is all tommy
rot. We have had no complaint to make
against his rulings, and all we ask is an
even break which I think we have OBJ
tanned in every instance. I am not re-
sponsIble for the fanatical outbreaks of
irresponsible persons not connected with
the Birmingham Baseball association.
Neither is Mr.. Baugh Despite the agita-
ton for a successor to the Arkansas judge.
am confident that the Birmingham Base
ball association will vote 1t has before
in favor of w. M. Kavanaugh as the man
who will hold the Southern league of
baseball clubs In the place which 1t now
holds. Exchange.

and judicious walloping to the aggrega-

TO the tune of to 0.
1t was a one-sided affair, punctuated by
sharp fielding and hard hitting, The Age
Herald boys putting up nerve-wrecking
exhibition from the start to the finish.
The game was remarkable viewed from
several standpoints. Young Lee was
pitted against Bob Pickett The former
struck out men and allowed hits. while
the latter struck out IS men and allowed
only hits. There was not less than
a dozen plays during the combat which
alone would have merited especial atten-
ton; earle Brown, Holt, Mcclellan, Biv-
ins, McQuaide, McCline, WEIGH and
Caps all figuring in one or more electrl-
flying stunts.
The famous Pickett battery was the
whole works for The Age-Herald and
deserved great credit for their wonderful
ability. The fastest kind of fielding only,
kept the Loveman, Joseph & Loeb team
from scoring. Pickett pitched excellent
ball and backed up by good team work,
carried off great honors for the night
