 The Nashville Memphis game was a rather unusual affair, Otis stockdale worked against Johnnie Duggan. Mem- phis got fewer hits than did Nashville, but Stockdale was there with his rabbit foot. and Nashville was beaten.

Baxter has been suf- fering with a bad loot and in the second game Of the series he and Bill Hart walk ed on each others feet, that Baxter is now forced to imp painfully, although sticking gamely to his position.

Birmingham and Montgomery should climb fast after this week. Both clubs can put up a swifter article of ball than they have done up to date, and back at home there's no reason visible to the naked eye why they shouldn't recover a goodly portion of their lost ground. Montgomery especially looks like a high grade ball team. and If Malarky and his men fail to show now the dope will be in for another jolting.-Nashville Ten nesseean.

Some people never seem to be satisfied Tu. ne-, the South Atlantic star, who held the Memphii to three scratches Tuesday, thinks he pitched a hitless game. His rosy notices in prose in local papers did not balance the disappointment he ex- perenced in being denied a hitless game and he told the scorer his thoughts The Memphii figured they were entitled to four instead of three scratches, with the Thiel following clamoring for a hit Memphis mercial-Appeal.
 How does this strike you as the dope for the trip. Give Atlanta, Birming- ham and Nashville two games each for a certainty and the Pirates one in each city Let them fight it out for the fourth and the Pirates win two of the disputed contests. if luck breaks at all even. That will give the locals five games to their credit when Montgomery is reached. One game should be annexed easily from Ma larky's crowd, and the chances favor two.

McMuIIen'. Position.


II am willing to give precedence to the
committee BILL" said McMullen. But
simply because the platform calls for q
statewide primary law 1t should not ex-
clude other bills from consideration. The
natural inference is from these talks that
only II. r. 4O5 will be discussed. desire
to call the attention of the house to the
2-oent fiat rate bill which we passed. when
the republican state platform did not call
for 1t. Our platform specified this matter
should be left to the railway commission,
but we did not do that. We can do the
same with the primary law"
Wilson could see no reason why both
bills should not be read through and then
discussed.
Ned Brown of Lancaster said it was not
a question of considering both bills at once,
but how to consider them. In each he said
there was much of the same and they could
be. discussed together. .s
Cone of Saunders expressed himself that
II the committee bill was all right he would
vote for II and II II wasn't he wouldn't,
He wanted either a good bill or none at all.
Quackenbush was opposed to taking up
both bills at once. The Hamer motion. was
lost and the reading of the bill which had
been interrupted at section was resumed.
Jennisop, Of Clay offered as an amend
ment to the section providing for the filing

the petition particularly, but the way the
section read he said II would invalidats
a petition which was signed by parties
who had signed more than one, providing
the new signers were not SUFFICIENT in num-
Der. He believed II would permit candi-
dates being kept of the ticket by tricksters
Dodge thought the Harvey suggestion
good and said he. would offer an amend
ment providing a penalty for signing more
than one petition for the. same ONCE wher
there was to be only one place Allied.
McMullen opposed the petition. He said
It would place the citizen at a disadvantage
in that IL he signed the petition of any
candidate, he pledged himself to that can.

cages as a part of the real estate and not

The revenue committee reported the bill
for indefinite postponement and McKesson,
who has a similar bill in the senate. made
a fight to have the bill placed on general
file. McKesson charged the lawyers and
the bankers who loaned money for foreign
corporations were against the bill and
pleaded for a chance to be heard before

to place the house bill on general file was
lost by vote of Is to 16. The vote was
