Wilmerding, died a year ago, leaving
500, 900 to his housekeeper, Catherine
Davis-Kelly, cutting two of his sons
off with IS each and two other IONS
with 500 each. The sons contested the
will and the jury decided in their favor.
An appeal vas taken.
Judge Shafer, in sustaining the jury
today, said it was evident that the
housekeeper had influenced Allshouse,
n it was apparent hat he had been
kept ''doped' with whiskey to such an
extent that he was unable to make an
intelligent will. The sons get all the
estate.

him to come down. but he refused. The
officers got an ak n were starting to
cut down the tree when a freight train
came along. Frock dropped from the

 Manager Babb last night handed Pitch- CT Loucks his release, and the twirler left at 10 o'clock for Memphis. Loucks had an excellent record with Atlanta and Memphis last year, winning thirteen out of eighteen games pitched, but has failed to come up to the standard this year. and his game yesterday resulted in Manager Babb's decision to let him go.-Shreveport Times
 The signing of Cristall was the axe that cut Loucks' head off.
 Hurlburt was at bat when Pfenninger called Carey out at second on an att tempt to steal. and kicked vigorously on the decision.

Struck out Smith, Lister and Walters once each and Gardner and Clark twice each. Five was the greatest number of Barons up in any one inning. Struck out two men in the seventh one in the eighth and two in the ninth. When Moles- worth tried to work the squeeze he made Carlos Smith miss the ball and Sid Smith threw to Dyer, killing Gladys. Clark made the one run for the Barons He got a single, went to second on a wild pitch, to third when Molesworth went out from Castro to Fox, after Castleton had slapped a hot one down, and scored op Gardner's single The other hits came in the second and third. Thirteen men were up in the last four innings. Five of these struck out. Only one got to first and he walked. Six of the last thirteen were thrown out at first. Three of these sent the ball to second base, one to short, one fouled out to third. Castleton got as- sists in landing two. Yielded his position like short stop and got six assists. Was just as good at the end of the ninth and, if anything better than at the start.-At- lanta Journal
 It would be proper. now if Ragan's menu to the Crackers was published.
 While the Bard of Avon was rather averse to repetitions, history has about as much action in that direction as one of these automatic guns that has a habit of shooting eight times in half as many seconds and then throwing rocks during recess. The denouement to the story of yesterday with the Barons is practically similar to that of the previous day. The count, however was to 1 this time, and it was turned up in very clever base ball performance.-Atla Constitution.

 Keep your lamps lit and don't overlook a bet" is the motto of Fielder Jones' manager of the White Sox. champions of the world Right there, in these words you have the secret of my success.
 Speed alone doesn't count while strength alone isn't of much value. You've got to use your head. The team with the noodle is the one that invariably wins in the long run. The theme of baseball is much like that of prize fighting. Speed and strength must be mixed thoroughly with brains.
 You often hear referred to as the lucky Sox,' but therein we are done an injustice. We are not any luckier than any other team we simply play up to our full speed all the time a-d use our heads continually. We waste no effort: we make every move count; we take advan- tage of every error made by our op- ponents.
 We always keep two ideas before. us To get runs and to prevent our opponents

The fans removed the lid yesterday aft ernoon when Ragan walked through the Crackers at a 2:40 gait.
