Baltimore Wins Two.

BALTIMORE. Sept. 1Z-Buffalo dropped
two games to the Orioles yesterday. Errors
figured largely in the score of the first
game. The contest was a battle royal
between Adkins and Milligan, with hon
ors even, but the visitors misplays were
costly and assisted the Orioles in making
all three of their uns.
In the second game the Bisons played
very amateurish ball and the locals played
rings around them. Although McC1oskey
was touched up for ten hits, half of them
were scratches, and he managed to keep
them well scattered. His wi error, a
wild throw to first, gave the Bisons their
two runs. The scores:

Toronto has won the Eastern League
pennant for the season of 1907. Buffalo's
death-knell was sounded yesterday, when
the Bisons dropped a double-header at
Baltimore, which, with the two games lost
to Newark. made it four defeats in a row.
Kelley's men nave only seven more games
to play, one at Providence, three at Balti-
more and three in this city. Even if they
lost all and Buffalo was TO finish with a
clean string of victories, the Canadians
could not be beaten out. Arrangements
have already been made for a post-season
series between Toronto and Columbus, the
latter having won the championship in the
American Association for a third time.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Cruelty to Animals.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald
| should like for some reader of this
paper to answer me through these col
umns, stating whether or not kindness
to dumb animals is taught in the schools
of this section. Do the hundreds of lady
teachers in our nearby schools utterly
overlook the growing tendency in their
pupils toward wanton cruelty toward our
friends the dumb animals? We call our
selves an enlightened Christian people,
highly civilized,yet there is latent in most
of us a cruelty and delight in Witness
ing pain that would shame the black
est savage and the most ignorant heath
en- in all the world. Is there in Biz
mingham a society for the protection of
dumb animals? Have we no law by
which to punish cruelty to these helpless
creatures? If there is neither, then there
is a broad black mark against the much
praised Birmingham section. If there is
one. the members of it must be too bus
lily engaged in buying gay plumage to
wear on Easter.
Never do l venture upon the streets of
Birmingham that I do not witness an
act of savage cruelty to some helpless
