THE GAME TODAY
! GREAT INTEREST IN LAST ONE { WITH ATLANTA.
Durrett fs Showing His GeneraIship and the MontGomery Fans Are With
 Him to the End.

Not in very many years has anything approaching the interest in a baseball game been felt in Montgomery that will be taken in todays game between the Climbers and Billy Smiths Atlanta bunch.
 Montgomery is now tied with Atlanta and Memphis for fourth place. and how much depends on the result of the game today d is manifest: mi The team seems ,' to and hard work has overcome the hard luck that has been lowering over'it for the first eight games. No team in this battles as the Climbers, winning two games by. scores of 1 to 0, one a thir- teen inning affair. and tieing up. two thirteen tn inn inning 1s games by scores Of two
 That Ike Durrctt is the right man in the right place was shown by the skillful generalsaip that he displayed time again, sending Hausen to pat for Busch and Thronton for May, in fact doing everything that could possibly be by sending in McCrane, the third local pitcher used in the game, he did stave off seemingly sure defeat. With the in spiration of such magnificent leader. ship and the fact that the team has commenced to, hit the ball hard, Dur rett having put new life into this branch of the game. there Is no reason why the Climbers should not begin to climb steadily.
 Another encouraging feature is the determined roofing shown at Saturdays game, tn erooters club setting the pace for some of the liveliest and most in- cessent roofing ever heard on a Mont gomery ball field. This has demon strated that the local fans are heart and soul with the team and that they are showing their appreciation of its enorts to win by an attendance that is unprecedentedly large.
 Play ball, boys, the towns with you.
 As the last man was being put out, smith. the Mobile catcher, was on the first base coaching line. As the pitch CT threw the ball to Miller, Smith threw a handful of sand in front of his face to interfere with his fielding the ball. Smith might as well know right now that this is not the kind of ball play ing Mobile stands for: clean sport is what is wanted here, and those players who are experts in the dirt-throwing and spiking kind of ball playing may as well cut 1t out right now in Mobile if they want to popularize the game here Its a pity this kind of playing did not show up in the official score, so such players could have a record.- Mobile Register.
 Local fans are surprised to hear this for when in Montgomery Herbert Smith did nothing but what any gen. tleman would do. In the excitement of the moment he evidently lost his head but it is hoped tor the good of the game in Mobile that such a thing will never happen again.

THO Levy Court was IN session
-I, all day Yesterday, but failed TO
neol'' IN any agreement in regard to
sSa tax rate for the next hscal year.

views he is informed, stated yester
sfiernoon that if Republican poll
oai oi who are said to be meddling,

W. few minutes for the rate TO be
ON! ne he believes ali of the mem
hAoN' ~ the court realize that the
,ty Ue.9 cannot be run during the com
sou", ,e,r ON a JO-cent tax rate, without
r lns In debt, but some politicians,
avs are urging Republican mem
u nof TO increase it, as they are evi-
sently afraid it might have an Adverse
1sect In the campaign. The court
o4;onrned until Friday afternoon at l
ss,ciock when another effort Will be
made to fix the rate.
The rate for the past two years has
bssn 30 cents on the 500, but there
vas a large balance both years to start
aitb Last year, on July lst, there
"ss balance of about s64, 900, and
r.itb tbs ratio at so cents, the indics-
Ems are that that balance and nearly
m n what came in during the year

balance Of probably $1,000, but il

a. II the court would be from S., 900 "a
$1,000 short The Republican mem
hers of the Levy Court claim that
there is considerable back tax, which
can probably be collected, but this is
merely chance. The Democrats say
h is absurd to think of letting the
rate remain at 80 cents when the ex.
renses of the court will be more dur
ing the coming year than it was this
wear and practically nothing to star
on. when last year there was s64, CO.,
Increased appropriations to the work

creased expenses.
Il is claimed that the county canno
+ be run on less than $40, COO year
The various appropriations set put il
the budget for the present fiscal yea
amounted to about $3.50, 600, and tx
budget the court will make up on Fri
day, will, it is said, be not less thai
$4,000.
County Comptroller Philemm
Chandler, who was a member Of tn
court for four years and its presiden
for two years, is probably as familia
Hs any one else with what it costs {
run the county. In speaking to
reporter of Every Evening yesterda
afternoon Mr.. Chandler said; "Thi
county cannot be run at the presen
time on a 50-cent tax rate, and If it
tried there will be a large deficit q
the end Of the fiscal year. When
was member of the court the rat
was put down TO 90 cents, but We ha
large balance on nand. The count
was S70 900 in debt when the coul
that was a member of went in, an
% pay this debt off we raised the raj
70 70 cents. The debt was wiped oI
the first year and the rate put down
s. cents. With this rate we could sa'
some money and it was to spend Il
surplus that had accumulated that
was put down to so cents. With I
surplus that rate, however, will NJ
