 Little Rock, May S.-(Special)- the first day of the eastern invasion of the western circuit of the Southern league, of three games scheduled, but one was played. In this one, Little Rock handed a bunch of juicy lemons to Nashville Montgomery arrived in Shreveport too late for the game. In New Orleans 1t rained heavily throughout the day, stacking up just a trife in the after noon. Thus encouraged numerous fans reported at the park, but on examina- tion, it was found that the ground was too wet.
 Vaughn Was Pleased.
 The decision of Manager Frank is said to have eminently pleased Manager Vaughn. On account of Oyler's lack of form, Garvin's injury, and Rip Ragans absence from the pitching staff, the Bir- mingham manager would be pleased if rain interfered on several other occa- sions.
 No game was scheduled between Mem phs and Atlanta. The two aggregations will meet this afternoon.
 Little Rocks Victory.
 Little Rock scored an easy victory, 10 to G. At no time during the game was Nashville in the running. Perdue started the ball to rolling, but was hit exceed ingly hard. Elmer Duggan relieved him, and on this slabman the Travellers con tinued to fall heavily. Eyler held the visitors safe throughout. Bowcocks hit ting was the feature of the game. Twice with men on first and second, he hit for two bases.

From the best accounts obtainable. Ra- gan refused to accompany the Barons on the western jaunt for this reason-he failed to draw a lower berth.
 As a result of this stubborness, the Barons are in the wild west headed by three pitchers, Wilhelm, Clark and Tur- ner. Fifteen games are to be played, five falling to the lot of each tWirler. The task is almost too great for the three but 1t goes without saying that they will buckle down and do their best
 Ragan has been ineffective as a whole, since the season started. If report is true, h. has steadfastly declined to care for himself as a conscientious ball player should. If report is true. he was drink ing at the time of the quarrel with Man ager Vaughn It is hard to imagine what other influence could have caused him to pursue the path that he chose.
 1t is believed that Ragan has served his usefulness in Birmingham. It is won dered if his ego has not grown to a state too superfiuous to render him longer tolerabe. It does not matter how ex- cellent man is if he never allows his excellence to crop out, he might as we'll be selling platter in hurdle race.

theme, 1.-The Association and the
Workingman." He expressed the hope
that the association might bring about
closer relations between employer and
wage Garner. He said that there was
no lack of present day problems. but
that this condition was not because
there were more wrongs than In the
past, for the rights of the man were
never more jealously guarded. BETTER
wages. said the speaker, are paid and
more comforts are enjoyed.
The secretary declared that rela
tions between employer and worker
cannot be measured by economic laws
but must be determined by the high
principles of humanity.

ADMISSIONS HELP
WALSH'S DEFENSE
States Evidence Against Banker
= Shown to Be Incomplete in Ger
tain important Details.

Chicago, Nov. 26.--The cross-examin-
alton of Frederick w. Mclean, former
cashier of the Chicago National bank.
gave the attorneys for John R. Walsh
opportunity to score several points
yesterday. The most important came
when the explanation by Mclean of
the reports to the Chicago Clearing
House association was excluded By the
court on the ground the former cashier
had not personally made out these
documents. The objection by the de-
fense came after Mclean had testified
that Walsh had directed him to treat
numerous memorandum notes of the
bank as. direct loans to the parties
whose names were signed to them. in
the bank reports sent to the clearing
currency.
Under cross-eXamination Mclean adj
mitted the bank examiners were fami-
liar with the notes and new collateral
on which they were based. He also
admitted he did not turn over the
cashiers checks to Walsh personally,
but gave them TO the bankers private
bookkeeper. B. B. Mckay. Previous
to McLean's appearance several men
whose names were signed to memoran-
dunn notes testified such signatures
were unauthorized by them.
