1t is much to the credit of the
WOman's Christian Temperance
Union that they have done
much toward bringing about
a sensible observance of the
Fourth OF July.
Let rot the good news, that
is sweeping over the west ard
south, slacken our endeavors,
but rather incite US to be more
watchful, more determined tnan
ever to eXtcrmiuate a ira ffiC
that brings Unly woe aud de

ly one.half of the cities of Wis
cousin are "dry." In O1io alone
more than lhree Thousand
licenses were lost.
Rev. P. A Baker, general
superintendeJ ut the National
League in an address said that
during the last year not a sin
gle measure favored by the liq-
uor interests IN any legislature
had been passed. Kentucky,
the Blue Grass State has eigh-
~ seven dry counties. There
are still pending twelve cleo
tions to be held in the next two
months.
Two large towns of Georgia
have lately voted liquor out.
Virginia and North Carolina
have a real temperance wave.
The decision of Judge Art
man, of Indiana that the state
has no more right to license sa.
looms than to license gambling,
is awakening thought in other
states.

The cities that have been component parts of the American league in the sev- en years of its existence are Chicago, Milwaukee, Indianapolis, Detroit, Kansas City, Cleveland, Buffalo. Minneapolis, Philadelphia Baltimore, St. Louis Boston and New York. Boston and Philadelphia have each won the pennant twice and Chicago three times. Tallenders in the American league have been St. Louis, once; Milwaukee, once; Minneapolis, once; Boston, once; Baltimore, once, and Wash- ington, twice All American league cir cults have been of eight cities. All of the championship percentages have been in the coos, showing the even strength of the organization. Only Chicago and Bos- ton have won pennants in both leagues. Of present big league cities Cleveland, Washington and St. Louis have not won a pennant in either major organization. Washington, St. Louis and Boston arc the only cities that have finished last in both the American and National leagues.

Since it's inception in 1876 there have been thirty-two cities to hold member ship lat one time or another in the Na- tlonal league. Chicago and Boston were charter members of the National league and they are the only two that have held membership continuously since 1876. They have been in every National league race and between them have won almost as many pennants as all the other cities put together. The Bostons In thirty-two years have won eight pennants. In 1906 they finished last for the first time. The Chicagos have won seven pennants and finished last but once. That once was in 1S7i when there were only five clubs in the National league. The list Of clues that have been National league members is as follows: Chicago Hartford, St. Louis, Boston, Louisville, Philadelphia Cincinnati, Providence, Indianapolis, Mill waukee, Buffalo, Syracuse.

 1he Nemesis of Buckley

fessional baseball again. Soon after Buckley was signed by President Boyer, several letters were sent to the league president, asking that Buckley be dis charged President Boyer stated that he answered these letters, making inquiries as to the reasons for such requests. He was then put in possession of the facts of the case. Buckley. 1t is alleged. is an expert cutter for a tailoring establishment and is a member of a tailors' union. When a strike was ordered in Rochester. 1t Is claimed, Buckley was one of the few who refused to go out. He was blacklisted, and the labor union there has made con- siderable trouble for him. President Boyer said as soon as he learned of this state of affairs he could do nothing but release Buckley, as the league did not desire to Incur the enmity of the laboring people. and he was assured by the leaders of the game in Rochester that they would com municate with the labor unions in the six cities of the circuit and have them boycott the league Umpire Fitzsirn- mons, who is said to be an excellent um- pire, was signed in Buckley's place."

Like a sensation comes the identification of the nemesis that has and Is, doubt less. pursuing Umpire W. J. Buckley.
 It is remembered that he started with the Southern league and was fired. He got in another company. and was hred. He managed to land another berth. and was fired. Finally. at the beginning of the present season, he was made an umpire In the South Atlantic League, and was fired.
 It was realized that Buckley was not so incompetent that his successive dismissals should follow each other so rapidly Then 1t was wondered what cruel fate was pursuing the young "czar." The follow ing from the Savannah News solves the mystery:
 Umpire Buckley. who was signed on the staff of the South Atlantic league arbitrators, is pursued by nemesis In the shape of blacklist by the labor unions of Rochester, N. r., that will interfere seriously with his ever engaging in pro-

Little Rock, April 20.--(Specia1 )-With the season nearly two weeks old, Films Little Rock club continues to display the phenomenal speed which characterized the work of the team in the opening series at Memphis. AS a result Little Rock fans are wildly enthusiastic over the chances of the club in the pennant race, ald while they dare not hopo for any such good fortune as pennant winning aggregation, the series with the Shreve- port team has set even the inveterate knockers to boosting. From business standpoint the opening home series was a miserable failure-but only on account of unfavorable weather conditions.

The second game of the Birmingham Nashville series was taken by the visitors yesterday afternoon by score of to l.
 Excellence in three departments of the game, pitching, fielding and hitting, won for Nashville. Birmingham lost because Ragan was hammered hard to every part of the field. and because his indifference ard lack of ginger was communicated to every player on the Baron team.
 At the conclusion of the seventh in- ming, when the game was lost, prac- tlcally, Ragan was relieved and Wilhelm substituted. There ,sas no more scoring. With two runs needed to tie the score, and with men on third and second, Meek was sent to the stick, but was unable' to deliver the goods.
 After all, howe-er the game was worth seeing. The Nashville players were jam uo iA their efforts to win the game, and the day should ave been theirs. The pitching of Purdue was excellent. The SUI port accorded him was brilliant, and at times spectacular The defense of Me- Elveen was especially attractive, his eff forts robbing the Barons of more than on hit. "Whitey'' Morfe. too, figured in a role of this kind.
 Beginning With Errors.
 At the very beginning the Barons played like a bunch of rank amateurs. Dobbs, first up dropped Texas leaguer to right. vyiseman bunted to the infield and got away with it. beating out a wild throw bv Montgomery. Walters supported Lis ter. and stopped the ball hurled by Mont gomery. Just as the fans cheered him fo. this work, however, he sailed the sphere where Montgomery, or Ragan or someone should have been, and t bleach- CTS stopped 1t. Dobbs scored. Persons sac- rif.ced Wiseman to third and Morse walked. Mccormick then hit to Alcock and Wiseman was killed at the plate. Mcr.lveen famed and the side was re- tired.
 Tn the first Smith connected safely and st,ie a base, but there was no scoring in the second Lister singled, but hope was crushed when he was forced at the ke-,store In the third the Barons went ou. in regular order. The score was tied in the fourth.
 Incidentally, the score of yesterday was given life in exactly the manner that the lone tally of the day before came Into bcia5. Alcock was safe on an error. He stole second and scored on a single. Inc

stead of Garvin, however, Lister made the hit that brought the score home.
 McEIveen Circles Paths.

II. the sixth the day was lost, and Ra- gan received his most disastrous fire. Per- sons got away with an infield hit. Two infield flies were taken in by Alcock an, Garvin, and the fans hoped. Me- llveen, however, sealed Ragan's fate when he smashed the ball far over the head of Molesworth, placing 1t finally un- der the score board. It was home run in spite of the fact that Molesworth's fielding was unfortunately slow. Hackett followed with a single, stole second, and went to third on Garvin's bad throw. He did not score, however for Latimers long fly to right was taken in by Smith.
 There was chance in the seventh for the Barons to even up, but not even @ single score was made. Garvin forgot that two men were out, and that even if the danger of Walters hit being caught was great, he might safely have kept on running. As it was, however, after the catcher had singled, Walters smashed the ball to left center, hit good. ordinarily, for three bags. Garvin hesitated a long time at second and then stopped at third. Scoring would have been easy. With two me. on bases, Meek was sent to the stick for Ragan, but he retired the side from McElveen to Hackett.
 Loyalty of Fans.
 The loyalty of the fans was remarkable. At every stage of the game the spectators were right there" with the hurrah, the song, and the chatter of feet.
 At the conclusion of the seventh Man ager Vaughn removed Ragan and substi- tuted Wilhelm. The new pitcher held the Nashville tribe easily, in spite of the fact that he entered without warming up. There was no more scoring.
 The Barons endeayored to get man across in the ninth, and the fans gave their aid toward a gar rison finish, but 1t wouldn't come. Lister, in the ninth, made his third hit Of the game, and was sent to second wien Purdue scored wild pitch. Walters went out from second to first, however, and Little Eva" took the count by the way of the three swing route.
 Too much emphasis cannot be put on the fact that the support given Purdue was exceptionally brilliant. The Barons stung the ball all over the field, but the times were few when a Nashville player allowed 1t to fall safe. Gardner stung one to third and lined another to second, and went out both times, when ordinarily he would have had two hits. Lister should have had four hits, and would have but for piece of clever heidlng on the part of Hackett. Walters was robbed of another hit by Third Baseman McElveen, a line drive. to hold which, the clever infielder made two efforts, and was turned completely around
