PIRATES ARE
 G0OSE-EGGED Malarky Pitches Win
 hing Game. FAST FIELDING BY HoUTZ Snappy Support Given Manager
 Throughout Contest. Locals Manage to Push TaIIies Across the Plate in the second and
 Fourth Innings-Graham
 Fails in Pinches.

great game of ball 1t was that John MaIarky worked yesterday the result being that he shut Shreveport out by a score of 2 10 6.
 Tom Fischer put in Graham for the game and Malarky sent himself to the middle of the diamond, and while the iocai manager was cool and steady at all stages or the game, Granam was not there in pIncneS. A wild pitch caused the local run in the second in- ming, while a base on balls was respon- slble for the local tally Tn the fourth.
 The only time that the Pirates had even a chance was in the second in- ming, when a close oecislon at second base and one at the pIate, killed their chance Of counting.
 The local team backed Malarky up In snappy style, but the work ot tho Pirates was bit ragged. houtz did some fast feeding. ms Quick return or McIver's hit in the second inning and hard run and catch of Mclver's work.
 In the seventh King nit d fly to short lett that Houtz made a greaC run for, put could not get IL in time, tns ball touching the ups of his fingers and hitting the ground just before he got under it. On the very next play he had another nard chance. but nc turned it into a sensatIonally success ful play. t&H
 Benson hit a fly to left that looked as If 1t would fail befores Houtz could get to 1t aAfter a hard run he, man. aged to get within striking distance. threw out his hands and grabbed tho ball as 1t was about to fall, and lost his balance from the momentum. He rolled over and over on the ground but came up with the ball in his hand. The Pi- rates raised $ big holler. but Rim al- lowed the catch and called Benson out.
 With one out in the first half of the second MeIvef hit one to left that lock- ed good for two bags, a nice stop and quick return to Houtz holding him on first Clark hit to Perry, who threw to second to stop McIver. The play was pretty close, but the umpire called tho runner out. Then Massing was walked and when Graham hit one to Ball, Clark started in, Ball firing 1t to Hausen in time to catch the runner at the plate. another close decision.
 Perry started the last half with a drive to right and stole second. count ing on Grahams wild pitch.
 Perry walked in the fourth, was ad- Yanced by Helm and scored on MalaT ky's drive to right.
 This ended the scoring and the game wound upS2 to 0 in favor of Montgom~ cry. TheNscore was:

BIDS FOR NEW CODE
THEY WILL BE OPENED AT CAPT.
 FOL TODAY.
Task of Printing New Laws VIII Be a Big One, and But Few Firms
 Will Submit Offers.

A meeting of the Code Commission of the State of Alabama will be held at the Capitol today at noon for the pur- pose of opening bids for the new code and awarding the contract.
 The contract for printing the new code Is such a large one that few printing concerns cared to attempt to handle it in the specified time. and others did not like the idea of putting up the $30,o0 bond required by the State. It was intimated yesterday that there will be but three bidders.
 This will be the largest code ever printed in Alabama, and will contain about 5000 pages. It will be made into three books, one for the political. one for the criminal, and one for the civil division of the code. When com pleted these sets will retail for $6.
 1t is expected that the lowest bid will be well over $30.000. as the speci- fications for the sets are very exacting. and require the very best material and the very best workmanship Every item Is carefully mentioned and de- scribed, so there can be no mistake on the part of the contractor.
 The books are to be finished within six months after the contract Is let at which time the Governor will issue a proclamation to the effect that the new code Is finished and will become effective thirty days from that date.

STRUCK BY LIGHTNING.
Thrilling Experience of Messrs. Bass
 and BulIard.


 Elba, Sept. 4.-Special. )-News has reached here by telephone that Frank Bullard, rural mail carrier of Route No. {. from Elba, was struck by light ming.
 MT. Bullard was on his way out with one MT. Bass on the road cart with him. As the cloud approached. the men drove up under a wagon-shed at the farm house of Hugh Windom. As they sat in the cart waiting for the shower to pass over, lightning struck the shed. The horse was instantly killed and both men were terribly shocked, Mir. Bass being thrown from the cart. Mir Bass was unconscious for some time, but MT. Bullard soon regained his wits.
 Dr. D. H. Coston of Elba was in the neighborhood attending a patient. On being summoned he found the mail carrier unable to continue his round, because his system had not fully re- covered from the shock, but MT Bass's condition was even more critical. A substitute was secured to continue the mail route, MT. Windom giving the use of one of his farm horses, while Mir Bullard. the regular carrier, was brought to his home here.
 Rev Bob" Jones, the noted young evangelist of Alabama Is slated to begin a revival in Elba on September Is Great preparations are being made to accommodate the large crowds that usually attend his meetings.

MONTGOMERY MAN PROPOSES
The Building Of Trolley Line From
 Genevn To DOthan.

Dothan Siftings,
 R. Tillis of Montgomery, Is heading a project to build a trolley line from Geneva to Dothan. via Hartford and Slocomb
 Mir Tnlis proposes. if he can get se- cured from the four places $60.000. he will guarantee the early building of the line. Dothan is asked to subscribe one third of the amount, or $20,000
 This city would be pleased to see such a line built and put in operation, but, whether such a large sum as the one asked for could be raised here for this purpose remains to' be seen.
 We doubt if the money will be sub seribed A smaller amount might be considered and possibly be raised, but hardly S2OOOO.
 However, we trust the promoters will succeed in getting what they ask for in some way and build the road. Every new road town gets helps its busi- ness and general importance, and aids in making 1t a railroad centre, and therefore aids the development and in crease of it's wholesale business.
 We would be glad to see road leading not only to Geneva and other places mentioned, but one built to Quin- cy. Fla,

Shreveport. Emcient Secretary.

This Is the fifth season that Harry Erlich has been secretary of the Shreveport club. and he has shown himself to be valuable in more ways than one. His uniform courtesy and accommodating, cheerful disposition. has made him universally popular in the Southern League
 He forms one of the trio of indispen- sible financial secretaries-Tom Mo- Cullough of Memphis. Harry Erlich of Shreveport, and Bill Stickney of this city.
 All three of them have been with their clubs since the formation of the present Southern circuit in 1903, and 1t would look queer to see the Mont gomery. Shreveport or Memphis teams without their present secretaries.
 Erlich has many friend in Montgom- cry. where he is very popular. and he always gets the glad hand when he hits this town. He says he thinks, with some chanegs, Shreveport will be the same in 1908 that 1t is now. and that Tom Fischer will manage the team again
