successful. a man may go there and
talk over spiritual things. Men have
gone Ia there burdened with sin and
have come out with hearts full of joy
and faces glowing with the light of
Christ
During the first three days after they
were opened four men were converted
outright, five backsliders were restored
and twelve were given spiritual help.
Among the visitors are all sorts of peo-
ple-business men, travelling men,
drunkards and criminals. Some of
them want TO find Christ, and others
come after advice on spiritual things
which have long perplexed them.
The man In charge of the rooms, Rev.
W. s. Jacoby, is an ideal man for the
position, for he Is filled with the spirit
of God, and his past life as drunkard.

was in the Academy of Music, when he

who had been q drunkard singing
Grace Enough For Me- with such a
look on his face as he had never seen
there before He met him shortly aft

change. and the former drunkard re-
piled that he had gone one day to the
Academy of Music, with his bottle in
his pocket, and they had sung Grace

came down upon him through those
words, and he was converted and has

BARONS HAVE DONE WELL
 IN CLASH WITH PIRATES

The first series of games between the eastern and western teams has been played, and the latter, so far, appear to be stronger.
 The Coal Barons are playing the best ball of any of the eastern teams. They have had the most dangerous opponents, and have been more successful. They are now, and probably will be for some time, the only eastern team to have berth in the first division.
 New Orleans has the best of Atlanta, Memphis seems to have outplayed Null ianeys Climbers, and Nashville has sui Tered the keen humiliation of defeat at the hands of the Travellers. Birmingham alone has made a creditable showing The Barons have had bad innings in Shreveport, but 1t must be remembered that the Pirates have also made costly

i errors. Then, too, the fact must be talk en into consideration that the latter have the advantage of being at home.
 It is conservative to say that if Bir- mingham iss as successful in the other western cities as she has been in Shreve- port the Barons will return home with a good record. The Pirates are thought to be the strongest of the western teams, and barring always the unforeseen, Bir- mingham should be able to make trouble for the rest of the western flock.
 Birmingham opens in New Orleans to- day and after four games there, the Barons will move their baggage to Mem phs. Four games will be played in the Bluff City. and then like number of engagements with the weary Travellers will be filled in Little Rock.
 On May 9 the long home series will begin. and Vaughan and his men will have an opportunity of forging up to first place.

Manager Smith brought fourteen play CTS down with him, but fl, is understood that he still has five men remaining in Atlanta. Four of these are pitchers. Ray mond called Bugs" is under suspen- sion. It is also claimed that Denver, Bur mum and Chids, pitchers. are also sus- pended. while Evers, catcher. is in the same boat
 The rule which called for all teams to be reduced to fourteen players went into effect on May l. How manager can suspend five players for nothing that is on record and keep them off the payroll is a trick in baseball management which no one seems to understand.
 Somebody should call President kava- naugh's attention to this incident for in- vestgation, and if the claim is correct Atlanta should be induced to live up to a rule which they assisted in making New Orleans Picayune.
