Ninth vs.. Foundry.
Batted Out Victory


Calvary Methodist tackled another nail in
the pennant pole yesterday by breaking up
the Sixth Presbyterian string of victories
to 3.
Calvary did not have out It's strongest
team, two Of it's star stckers and felders-
Kinney and Vic Bielaski-being out of the
game On the other hand Sixth had out the
same husky aggregation that has pulled
them pennantward in their recent games
and 1t was figured by the hill dopesters
that the leaders had hustle coming to
them TO hold first place. But Calvary did
not need all their stars. They had one, Joe
Lymanosk1 who more than supplied all de-
hciencies. Joe had the same befogging
sortment of drops and change of pace that
dragged Foundry from the lead last Satur-
day, and Sixth could not connect at the
runs. Joes twirling, however, was made
to look even better by the gilt-edge support
he received, Lord, Kerr and Clear putting
up as fast an article of ball as the Sunday
school fans have seen this eason all fgur-
ing in four brilliant double plays, Lord
stabbing Wheatley's singer In the fourth
with one hand on a seemingly impossible
chance that retired both Wheatley and
Duffy. Wheatley screwed down the lid
after the fourth and allowed only two hits
by Ivans and ]. Symanoski, in the last FIVE
innings. In the eighth he struck out Hay
den, Kerr and Frank Symanoski on eleven
by Kerr. Clear and Willis led in batting
and the latter played great game at sec
ond for the losers. Both Balenger and
Clear saved hits by smothering hot ones
at first and Hayden and Lynham threw
beautifully to the bases.

THE candidate that secures the Alabama
vention Of 1908 will have to effect thor
ough organization Of the party in the state
within the next twelve months said a
prominent Alabama republican who passed
through Washington yesterday
You see," he continued, II am not a fed
eral officeholder, and therefore can speak
freely on the situation as to conditions of
the party in my state. Although there were
some factional differences among Alabama
republicans over the distribution of federal
patronage at the beginning OF Mr.. Roose-
velt's administration that could have been
adjusted to the advantage of the national
administration and the future of the party,
In the state had the President been wisely
and practically advised to the real status
of the party in Alabama, which would have
enabled him to pursue a different policy
since he came Into power In 1901. His ref
cree system has been a signal failure, and
as a result of 1t we have no organization
In the state; In fact, the republican party
in Alabama is worse disorganized than 1t
has been at any time since the civil war"
You mean, then. that Mr.. Roosevelt's ad-
ministration is unpopular in Alabama?"
Yes. more 80 than any republican Presi-
dent that we have ever had. He Is more
popular with the democrats in Alabama
than with republicans.
Secretary Shaw visited us In Alabama
some years ago and made a fine impression,

friends on the lookout for his interest.
Alabama is the first state that is called
in the convention; therefore It is well that
a presidential candidate should secure some
or all of the delegates the state has, and
under the present condition some fine work
has to be done. Most of the best federal
