JELKS INTERESTED
 IN LYNCH|NG CASE
Governor is Asked to Aid Gads-
 den Grand Jury
OLD CASE IS REVIVED
County lnquisitors Will Inquire Into the Hanging of Bunk Richarcs- son, Alleged Negro Mur-
 derer, by a Mob.

Gadsden, September 16-(Special)-A well founded rumor Is in circulation that Governor Jelks has been asked to come here and direct the investigations of the Bunk Richardson lynching case, which it is believed will be reopened and taken up by the grand jury of the city court of Gadsden. An effort was made to confirm the report, but without success.
 However, it is well known that the gov ernor was not satisfied with the finding of the grand jury that investigated the cast last spring, and If he does not come hn- self it is believed that he will have representative here The city court meets on Monday morning at 10 o'clock, and the grand jury will be immediately sworn in.
 The Bunk Richardson ynching case is one of the most sensational in the history of the state. Two negroes had been con- victed of crime and hung. A third had his sentence commuted to life imprisonment, and it was this act on the part of the gov ernor which seemed to incense d certain element whose leaders lynched Richard son, who has never ben indicted.
 In an address delivered in this city be- fore the State Press association last July the governor condemned lynching in un- measured terms and made many inquiries concerning the case.

There Is just one more baseball story concerning the Barons which should be told bef5re the season IS entirely passed up to the preying of memory. It is strange that throu<hout the entire season all of the sporting editors should have missed it.
 It concerns the Baron quartette, body of four men who entertained the bunch on every trip made throughout the sea- son. The quartette is composed of Ragan
 base; Aleock, baritone; Molesworth, first tenor, and Castro, second tenor. The music of the four Is beyond criticism, and

CHICAGO CLAIMS
 TWO BIG REMNANTS National Team Certain and Odds Favor American. MAJOR LEAGUE GOSSIP Peculiar Results In American Asso- ciation-Harley, Hughes and
 saIIee Join St. Louis
 and New York.
LEAGUE GOSSIP

As the Southern league baseball season is terminated, local fans can find some entertainment in watching the progress of the game in the big leagues.
 The most interesting features at present are the remarkable showing of the Chi- cago Nationals in their runaway race for the pennant, and the close and genuine nerve-racking contest for first honors be- tween the American league teams of New York and Chicago.
 Today the Chicago Nationals have won 105 games and lost but 32 It Is a cinch that that aggregation will break the Ma tional league record for games won, the present high-water mark being 1OS in a season. There is nothing under the sun that can oust the Chicagos from the lead which they have established. New York seems to have cinched It's hold on second place, the two successive defeats admin istered Pittsburg by Chicago removing a dangerous rival of tho Giants for the time being. Cincinnati is making great endeavors to break out of the second di- vision, busting Philadelphia. This result is hardly probable, in spite of the fact that neither of these rivals are playing a remarkable game by any means.
 American League Race.
 There is a great race in the American league between the New York Highland CTS and the Chicago White Sox. On ac- count of a Saturday and a Sunday victory over Detroit, the White Sox have regalned first place, which Grlffith's men captured some days ago after a strenuous period of fifteen successive victories. It is believed that before the end of the season these teams will cross each other more than once again. The odds favor the White Sox and it looks very much as if two flags will fly from poles in Chicago.
 Philadelphia and Cleveland are having nip and tuck engagement for third hon. ors, although 1t is hardly probable that either will be able to gain second place. However. 1t Is just as true that neither will be pulled from the first division. The aggregations are but ? points apart. and the local fans who remember Connie Mack and Napoleon Lajoie with a degree of pleasure about equally divided, can pull for whenever they please
 Interesting games were played yesterday in the American association, there oc- curing four double headers, the victories In each instance going to one team.
 Harley. the Atlanta pitcher, has been drafted by the St. Louis Nationals, and has left for that city. Tom Hughes of Atlanta and Scatter Sallee of Birming- ham have left their respective cities for St. Louis, where they take up their new duties under the banner of Grinith's New York American team.
