BASEBALL NOTES.

Of the smoky city that sits on the
hill and cannot be hid. The game
should have been classed (regarding the
odds of wind and dust) as good game,
but Butte, with her pernicious habit of
crying, ever and anon, at umpires
decisions, etc., gave it somewhat of a
face resembling a masked man. Wood
placed safe one in the first inning for
Ritzville and saw home safely. In the
third he was at his accustomed trick
and lifted over the fence in right field
and tailed another run. Butte hollered
and kicked and beloved and almost
cried in third over a decision of the
umpire. Well they put in man with a
Butte suit on and still things didn't
brighten up for them. Strange, wasen't
it? In the fifth inning, Kruse, captain
for Ritzville team, put long safe
drive to center with Wood on second.
Wood came home, Kruse made second,
Ritzville had two men gone, Butte =
to hatch a dollhouse = said Kruse never
touched first. After fifteen minutes
protest, Ritzville boys compromised,
Kruse being called out, but allowing
Wood to score. In the sixth high
throw to third let Butte have the upper

Wood, Ritzville's second base never
played like wood at any time, if he did
he was a whole cord in himself, he
only made four runs out of the five
scores for Ritzville. Kruse made a
long cruise in the ninth - the catch of
the day, taking in, while falling, one in
deep center field - catching it fairly =
as seen from the grand-stand.
Hart, pitcher, played pretty game,
his throwing bases being as good as
pitching. He never walked a man UNI
til the eight. Streble, catcher, had his
eye on third and played fine game.
Red had his foot on first and the bal
in his hand every time Butte boy

ton, a little more control and Ritzville
has team that can hold its own any
where.

MORSE STEAMSHIP
 COMBINATION
NO REORGANlZATIoN WILL BE AT TEMPTED AND ALL COMPONENT LINES WILL BE RUN SEPARATE " AS IF INDEPENDENT.

New York, October 2S.--It was for maIly announced today that there would be no official reorga niza tion of the steamship combination which was organized by Charles W. Morse and his New England associates. The finances of the various companies and their management will, however, De in the hands Of interests that formerly con trolled the lines. The offices of the Consolidated Steamship company In New York will be closed and President Austin will make his headquarters in Boston.
 In the future each line, it is an- nounced, will look after it's own equip ment, including the Uew vessels now in the course of construction. The man agement of the Mallory ai.1 the Clyde lines will be consolidated under tie di rc,tion of H. H. Raymond. The Santo Domingo service of the Clyde will be taken over by the New York and Porto Rico Steamship company. In d state ment given out tonight F. Kingsbury Curtis. counsel for the Consolidated company, said:
 "The reasons for the steps that hlye been taken are self-evident. Recent occurrences, with which all are famil- far, have reacted on the securities Of the combination to such an extent that the holders are unable to use them as collateral: therefore it was deemed best to place men in charge of affairs whose names are a guarantee of able and con- servative management. Every one knows that the lines in the combina- ton are in frst-class condition and have at least 6 per cent earning ca pacity. With the old management in control, the public need have no fear that every obligation will be met"

Day of Animate

The day was one of animation. Women and children mbued with fervor and enthusiasm for their work, eheered and sang from morning until the closing of the fight at o'clock. At times. especially in the city proper, it was almost impos- slble for the voters to reach the polls. At the court house the women and and children were nestled together on the Twenty-hrst street steps, and SO large was the gathering and so great was the noise therefrom, that one unacquaint- ed with just what was happening would have turned his face to the front, seeking a gridiron game of % college men. At the city hall the women walked up and down the sidewalk, and in front of the building, meeting the voters face to face, urging them to cast a ballot for prohi- bition. It Is safe to state that during the entire day there was never moment in which one near the voting places could not have heard familiar hymn. or heard the jeers and hisses. screams and dis cordant din.

that community. North Birmingham, already prohibition made a wonderful showing of 293 to S2. Woodlawn's was almost as good 293 to 100. The result in Pratt City, 91s to 1s5, was the grsat- est surprise of all to the ants. Ens- ley's majority of 3I for prohibition tlet the expectations of the most ardent workers. Bessemer. Jonesboro and Brighton heaped up 5S1 for prohibition to 256 against.
 It would seem that the whole county builds wall around Birmingham, and leaves that city to the administration of her law enforcing officers.
 Other Counties Will Fall In Line.
 Alabama is now almost on the tenn perance list.> The action of Jefferson is expected to decide beforehand the re- suits in all the other counties before which the question is now pending. The legislature will probably pass a statutory law, which will sweep the traffic from the state, and may be fol- lowed some time next year by popu- lar vote on constitutional amend ment.
 The policy of the Anti Saloon leaNue in going out first after big game has been proven correct, for now the re- mainder of their work is easy, after which their time will be given up en- tirely to endorsements.
 On January l the 120 saloons in the city will be closed, and the buildings will be for rent. The sale of alcohol in any form will be prohibited and can not be disposed of in any manner. The saloonkeepers will receive all assist ance in finding a new field for their labors.
 Began Four Months Ago.
 Yesterdays outcome was the result of a movement started by the Pastors union about four months ago. The Women's Christian Temperance union was the next greatest power, while thousands of voters backed them up.
 The victorious committee consists of Walter l.. Sessions, chairman central committee; R. L. Lovelady, vice chair man! T. NJ. Jackson, treasurer; R. M. Goodall, pr. R. V. Mobley, J. W. Minor. T. w. Davidson, w. NJ. Cosby. T. II. Friel and Escar Floyd
 The woman's central committee. headed by Mrs. w. c. Sibley, was also responsible to great extent for the victory.
 Soon may echo in Birmingham the cry of the women of other cities. "On to the nations capital"

Hundreds of Banners.

There were hundreds of banners and staffs bearing placards exhibited through cut the day. Bread or Booze, spoke one to the passersby. Whose girl goes down with your ballot?" queried another. Wife or whisky, home or hell2' was the third implied Interrogation. Pay taxes with money, not with children was another injunction. Boys or beer" We want prohibition, and must have it." and hundreds of other kindred admoni- tions, injunctons, and declarations were hurled throughout the city from the shoulders of school boys little girls. and children too small to realize the signifi- canoe of what they did.

No Accidents Marred the Day and the Crowds, While Full of Enthusi- asm, Were Good-Natured
 and Orderly.

The prohibition election in Jefferson county is a thing of the past, but the memory of the day will remain for an infinite length of time. For the first time citizens in Birmingham were presented with a sight of women and children many of them in arms, singing. praying. heseeehipg in the street, mingling with the throng about the polling stations. For the first time in Birmingham the women of the city took d hand in matters po- litical, sang hymns. led in prayer. en- deavored to change votes, eheered tho wearers of the white ribbons, and hissed the wearers of the red.
 It is estimated that fully 5000 women and children took part in the prohibition agitation and election yesterday. In the early morning hour these women with children. appeared on the streets, and separating in four battalions at Capitol park. marched through the city. The procession was several blocks in length. There were women on foot, women in buggies, women in automobiles. There were children walking, running, waving banners in the air, and jeering at their opponents. There were little girls, en- skipping along the line of march, sing ing hymns waving white ribbons, and urging those not favoring prohibition to change their front and escape eternal doom

No Accidents Recorded.

Otherwise the day was exceptionally quiet There was no disturbance. and fortunately no accident occurred with its possibility of danger to the little girls who thronged the street. Occa- sionaIly, around the stations. one of the leaders or men in authority spoke to the gathering from the vantage ground of buggy or an automobile. Through out the morning addresses were made at all the stations by Mrs. Curtis, the woman who has been so active in the several weeks agitation. Mrs Curtis spoke in q loud. shrill voice, which carried a considerable distance, and generally attracted a crowd of boys and girls. and the women gather ed at the polls. She urged continued effort, and promised great and glowing returns.
 Some of the women who remained at the polls throughout the day served sandwiches and coffee to the women and children and few men gathered about the polls. The election in uiis respect. too. that there was walking restaura mt in the center of the street. was also unique and memorable.
 College Boys In Line.
 The boys of the Birmingham college at Owenton were drilled through the streets that institution having declared holiday in honor of the occasion. These young students enlivened the day ad- ditionslly by yelling throughout the
