the bleacher cry out: Why don't that labster play ball! "
 The Barons trim them all when they come to the slag. Since returning from the west, twelve games have been played in Birmingham. Of that number, the Barons have landed eight.
 Last season on the Fourth of July, the attendance on the two games played at West End was the largest in the history of the Southern league.
 On the Fourth this year, Atlanta easily copped the prize. More than 140OO saw the two games.
 Atlanta Is prepared to entertain the spectators. People will go in larger num- bers to those places where they can move without being rubbed up against.
 Moral: Get a new park,a big onei build a modern grandstand; keep your team In the first division
 When these stipulations are fulfilled Atlanta will not have larger attend- ance.
 If they do we'll on the road, the rans will be waiting for them when they re- turn, The fans will be prepared for them' too. if they return with no victory.

THOUSANDS ARE NEEDED
To FIJI Positions of Photographers On
 the Big Railroads.

Chicago. July 6.-The Record Herald today says several thousand young men who are willing to prepare them selves can have an opportunity during the next few months of entering the railway service in branch that has produced the greatest number of higher officials.
 The railroads of the country are face to face with the task of securing at least 6000 telegraph operators and possibly double that number during the next nine months. This great army of new telegraphers Is necessi- tated by the new law which limits the hours of labor in this branch of the railway service.
 There is not railway management in the United States that knows where or how they are going to get the large additional force needed. The fact is that they are not in the country and the problem is to create a supply.

Games Today.
Little Rock in New Orleans. Shreveport in Memphis.

The fourth game of the Birmingham- Nashville series went to the Barons by score of to 0.
 Wilhelm, on the slab for the locals, had everything, and everything worked well. He yielded but four hits, and after the fourth inning was not scratched.
 Sorrell pitched excellently, too, the Barons having been able to cop but six swats off his delivery. He received mis- erable support, however, errors by Wells in the first inning being accountable for the two scores made by the locals in that round.
 The pitching of Wilhelm was the fea- ture of the day. The playing of Garvin at second, Walters, on account of cold, having been out of the game, was ex- cellent. especially when it Is remembered that he had been a year off the infield.
 Wells Costly Error.
 The attendance for Saturday afternoon was small, something less than 1500 spec tators having been seated about the park. Those present, however, were enthusias- tic, and the Barons, from the moment they trotted out upon the field, until the ldSL mar was out III lilb lllllluJ WCIt SiiCSA ed continually.
 The Barons cinched things in the first inning Molesworth started the game with a clear single to right-center. Demout was walked. Smith bunted safely to the infield and the bases were filled. Gard ner flied out to Wiseman, the skier ap- preaching a Texas leaguer Molesworth attempted, to score, and did so well Catch CT Wells erred in handling the return to the plate Meek, next up, struck out, but was safe at first on a passed ball. De- mont starting home, would have been tagged had Wells not made an imperfect throw to third.
 In the eighth the Barons earned run Smith, with one down, doubled to center. Meek scored him on a screaming single to the same territory.
 One Man to Third.
 The visitors did not have chance. Will helm held them throughout But one man got as far as third, and that station was reached only in the ninth. Excluding the ninth ming, but one man during the game got as far as second
 In the first inning, with one down, Wiseman singled, but went out trying to steal second. Two safe hits were made in the second. With one down, McElveen hit safely to right. Lister flied out to smith, anu there was no advance. Wells hit safely to right, McElveen taking second Elmer Duggan was safe on fielders' choice an. Wells was forced at second.
 The fourth hit of the game was made in the fourth inning. After one had gone down. Mccormick smashed a single to center. McElveen, following hit to the infield and a double resulted.
 Although there was no safe hitting in the ninth in that inning Wilhelm walked his only man during the game, and the Barons rung up their only error. With one down Person hit to second and Garvin made his only error, after ac- cepting eight difficult chances. Wiseman was given base on balls. Dobbs went out from Wilhelm to first, and Mccormick retired the side from Garvin to Meek. Person. in the meantime, had gone to third.
