Prescott l7; Malvern A,

Only one game was played be- tween Prescott and Malvern yesterday afternoon, and rain very seriously interfered with that one. The game was called at 3:15 and it was 5:20 before the last inning was played The ground was in a miserable con dition, and the rain that fell dur ing the progress of the game madeit worse. Charlie Tompkins pitched for : innings, and retired to give practice to Newt Weaver, Prescott's s newly developed pitch CT, whose speed, control and curves are something wonderful. Thegame was a regular slugglng match. with no features.

hart'S Slow Ball Didn't Win.

For the first time during the series, Nashville outplayed the locals and yesterdays game was won on merit. Johnny Duggan was in the box for the visitors, and while he was found for seven hits, the same number credited to Nashville, he was invincible with men on bases. The game wasreplete with sensational plays at critical stages, which kept the thirteen hundred spectators wlldthroughout. While comedy Of errors in the sixth inning gave the Boosters two of their runs, the other two were earned and the score of i to 1 does not bad y mlSrepresent the relative mer- It's of the teams as they played Yesterday.
 Yesterday was release day and TWO of Finn's picthers were giv- en the pink slip. The pair let go IS Dolan and Randy. The fans of Little Rock regret to see these payers go, but as the league rules makes it necessary for managers to cut down to four teen players by May 10 it is like y that Dolan and Randy can be spared better than any of the other

NEW DEMURRAGE LAW
 TO BE MADE EFFECTIVE
Railroads To Show Cause September 16 Why This Should Not Be Done
 By State Commission.

The Alabama Railroad Commission at it's meeting yesterday cited all the railroads in the State to appear be- fore the Commission September Is, and show cause why the commission should not fix the rate on compressed cotton between stations.
 It was also decided to call on the railroads to show cause why the com mission should not adopt the new demurrage laws enacted by the last Legislature. The same day was fixed for the filing of the answer.
 It was decided that if the Central of Georgia and the Union Springs and Northern could not agree on a point at which to make a physical cons nection at Union Springs, as ordered, within fifteen days the roads are to report a disagreement to the commis- sion and the commission should To- cate the connection.
 The question of a physical connec- ton between the Central of Georgia and the Louisville and Nashville Rail- road at Samson was decided by the roads agreeing to make joint rate for the thriving Geneva county town

NAVAL STORES WEEKLY REVIEW.

Savannah. Aug. 15.-(SpeciRl )-The evils of bull manipulation of the spirits of tur- were strikingly illustrated in the week which just ended. An ardent buyer with decided bullish tendencies openly boasted that he could put the market up to 57c per gallon at any time he wanted to and in the last few days he carried out his intent. placing the market at 57c on a purchase of 60 casks even when he could have easily bought all the supplies he wanted at Ac lower than this value.
 As proven by subsequent events. however, this action not only ''ill-advised'' but was actually detrimental to the best inter ests for as soon as the market was 'boost- ed the other buyers dropped out. This not the worst either for lack of buying all support was withdrawn and quotations took a rapid downward trend only stopping when split prices ranging from 55%c to 5sc were quoted. This was quoted on Tues days opening and while the market at the final call of the week was quoted firm at 56c. the general undertone was generally lacking in that strong tendency essential to the best welfare of the trading arena"
 This only goes to show by-the-way that the views of the writer often shown in the letters from Savannah. that manipulative tendencies should be eliminated are correct The laws of supply and demand alone should sway the market and when these laws are disre=arded it is a serious thing, for as Is well known quotations for the world are fixed here.
 The market opened last Wednesday firm at 56c. The close yesterday was nrm al 56c The weeks highest was Sic. The lowest was 55&c.
 Receipts yesterday were 1,O22 casks; week 5.J24 casks; month 1O,4s9; season s4,577 casks.
 The exports: Tuesday TAO; week 9.O94; month lO715: season 77733. Stock 23,303 Total sales 2565. Foreign S,370.
 In rosins a generally good volume of business was done. Quotations will be seen are a shade better but the margin of gains is so small as to be practically coun' terbalanced by other conditions. The quo tations at the final call of yesterday were: S5.e5@s6 0O; M S. 6s; K s5 30 @ 45; s4 95 0S5. O5; II $4 sO@9O; G s4.7o@75; $4 50 a7O; E $4.4OQ50; $4.1O@1S; CBA $s. 90
