 ball They Played.

In the seven games of baseball play ed last week by the Montgomery team, one in Memphis, three in Atlanta ana three in Nashville. the team batting average fell off Is points, .2s5 against
 2S0 last Monday.
 Breitenstein and Mike McCann still lead. Mccann having seven hits in the laney got eleven hits. leaving him just three points shy of 300.
 The most gratifying thing about the batting is the remarkable gain Of Clay ton Perry who got twelve hits in seven games. one of them a home run. sam Apperious got eight in the seven games and Bill Hausen got five hits in hve games. Busch and Houtz both ieh 1s on. in the seven games Charlie SchWartz got four hits in the four games that he played and local fans are heartily glad that he is in the game again and that his injury in Atlanta was not as bad as at first reported.
 Mullaney leads the team fielding, and probably this league with i've er- eight errors in 316 chances and Mc- Aleese seven In 2s0 chances. In 217 chances Schwartz has ten errors, Perry

Advertiser Bureau,


 Mobile, July 1.
 Late this evening at Neshota Sta tion, on the Louisville and Nashville Railroad. five miles South of Mobile, the body of an unknown white boy. apparently fourteen years of age, was found dead beside the tracks by per sons living in the neighborhood. Whetreh the boy avs run down by train while crossing the track or fell from a passing train, those who found him were unable to say. He had been dead apparently several hours.
 The coroner went to Neshota and viewed the remains tonight, but there was nothing on the boys person by which identity could be established Residents of Neshota say that the boy did not reside there, and the remains were brought here tonight with the hope of establishing his identity. Whether the boy was a resident of Mo- bile cannot be said at this time but the police are endeavoring to connect the lad with reports of missing boys given at the police station. Cne of the lads legs was crushed off and the body otherwise badly burised. He was dressed in a brown knee suit, had light hair and light complexion.

LOSS BY THE FIRE
IS ABOUT $4,000
The Building Was Presumably
Fireproof, but the Flames
Spread Rapidly.

- --,--g - - 49, -. Sy5.-S
In view Of the great loss Of life it
might. be imagined that the West hotel
had been Quilted by the flames Of this
morning, but such is far from the case.
The captain of the insurance salvage
corps estimates the loss at 100000.
The fire seems to have spread with
lightning rapidity in spite Of the fact
that the hotel was of supposedly fire
proof construction, with brick walls
along all the corridors, and friedrich
and cement beneath the wooden floor
ings. The flames starting at the base
of the elevator shaft, found a mag
floors above. The fire spread but little
from the elevator shaft till it got to
the fourth floor. Here it started in it's
disastrous work and continued it to
an even worse degree on all of the
floors above. On the fourth floor the
corridor along the entire Fifth street
side Of the building-is charred. On the
floors above, the Fifth street corridor
and the corridor at the rear Of the
hotel, on each floor, was eaten by
flames. The brick walls Of the CORR
doris did magnificent work in checking
the flames, and but for them and the
cement foorings of the charred halls,
the hotel might now be mass Of
floors the wooden foorings were eaten
away to the rough cement and freproof
thing beneath, and the, plastering was
burned and scorched off the walls till
naught but the bare brick partitions
were left. Yet, in spite of the terrific
heat which must have caused this, the
rooms opening off these corridors were
wonderfully preserved. In those ada
cent to the elevator shaft there was
considerable damage done, the walls
and furniture being blistered and in
part charred. In the other rooms, tho
there is evidence in the bistering of
| the furniture Of the great heat, the
! damage was little. 49, -
| All day today police were on guard
at the entrance and staircases in the
West hotel to prevent the curious from
entering and wandering thru the build
ing because Of the valuables which hao
been left in the rooms, and which valu
ables, tho covered with water ano
