Mr. Hasset opened his speech last
night with the plain statement that '"the
shortest way to a greater Denver is via
direct railway connection with the great
North Platte valley. In every way he
said, Denver is the logical center to
which all the traffic from this rich field
ought to flow, and the fact that it has
not yet been developed he attributes to
the reason that it has not been realized
how rich the country is and how much
it would help Denver 10 tap it.
The traffic he said would be both ways
Denver sending factory made articles
into the new field and receiving the nat
ural wealth of the valley in re-
turn. So great is the wealth, said Mr..
Hasset, that Denver citizens could afford
to go ahead on their own responsibility
and build the suggested road, and reap
the profits from it. Let Denver capital
lists form an "Octupus" he said with far
reaching tentacies and grasp this wealth,
and the profit will be not only to the
owners of the railroads, but also to Den
yer as city, to Colorado as state, and
to the owners of the land to be tapped.

Color Affects Health.

From the Chicago Tribune
 Tell me the color of your wall and 1 will tell you the character of your germs. Many prominent French scien- lists, beginning with Deycke show that 1t is possible to rid ourselves of germs by painting the walls with particular colors The experiments made by Deycke in the first instance proved that the disease germ applied to a wall painted with amphoboline lost it's poisonous properties Spreading paint on pieces of board or glass or cement. he placed culture of cholera germ on the surface The germ vanished. DTS. Le Boseo and Lydia Ra- binoVitch found that the tuberculosis germ also disappeared under the influence of enameling colors. neither the consump- ton, cholera nor diptheria germ being found. The typhoid germs disappeared slowly in comparison on the fourth day. ultra-marine blue seems to destroy the germs the most rapidly, within twenty four hours. The results on the gray paint were almost negative, while 1t took the maroon paint almost fourteen days to kill the germ.

Memphis, Tenn, August 23.-(Speeial.)- J. Birmingham put crimp in the league leaders this afternoon in summary fash ion. Score to 0. Hammerlng Charley Shields for a total of seven sacks and three tallies in the first inning, the Barons took the starch not only out of Babbs prized southpaw but out of the entire team as well. Hard hitting gave the vis- itors two more counts in the fifth and then Manager Babb decided that Shields had had enough. He substituted Cris- tall for him at the beginning of the sixth. and sent Owens in to take Hurlburts s place behind the pan.
 Ginger Clarke was well-nigh invincible at critical periods of play and the locals could do nothing with his swift sants.
 Molesworth opened the game with clean single to center. Demontrevllle fol- lowed with grounder to Babb and both runners were safe when James was late in covering second Smith sacrificed with a bunt to Manning Meek laced out two- sacker to deep center pushing Moles- worth and Demont home. Gardner sin gled to short. Meek turned third and tried for home and then decided he wouldn't and tried to get back to third He was caught by Babb. Walters tripled to deep right, scoring Gardner, and Alcock ended the half inning by flaming.
 In the fifth, after Clarke was out. Moles- worth got his third hit of the game, q double to left. Demont beat out a ground CT to Babb and stole second, both scoring when Meek got his third hit, d screamer to left. He was out In trying to go to second.

FLYNN LEAVES FOR
 MORE CONGENIAL PLACE

The New Orleans Picayune tells more in the continued story of Umpire Flynn's experiences:
 I'm going back, back, back to Buff falo," sang J. M Flynn, ex-Southern league umpire, as he merrily waved farewell to a number of his friends from the bridge of the steamship Proteous yes- terday morning. Baltimore or Buffalo, New York or Newark, Flynn little cared which, so he merrily warbled the old dit ty, and some new ones, as the big vessel plowed away from it's wharf. starting on the long journey to the metropolis on the Atlantic seaboard, from which he could easily reach home and friends.
 MT Flynn was one of the latest re- cruits secured by President Kavanaugh for his stan of umpires He was on the job during the earlier part of the season with the Interstate league, including some likely-loolSing New York cities and a few Pennsylvania hamlets, but when that or ganlzation went up in one red burial he accepted a place in the Southern league staff Of referees and pleased a good many patrons of the game on account of his earnestness and activity. He recommend ed Pitcher McWeller to Harry Vaughn. among other notable achievements, and McWeller proved a grand failure.
 Flynn really meant well, however, and was far superior as an umpire to either Pfenninger or Hackett the latter being fired at last, getting the pink slip at the same time with Flynn. Flynn's spirit or fairness, the tender of an apology and the knowledge that he was in the wrong about a decision on which Gatns swatted him forbade his benching that player here after the last game with Memphis, but that was the primary cause of his resignation being requested. Mike Films admitted forgery of the umpire's name to report the fact of Gatins' jolting tho umps and Phillips throwing bat at Suggs gave Manager Charley Frank pretty good trip on the Irishman, but even the Dutchman's influence was insuf- ficient to move President Kavanaugh in Flynn's behalfg, and his job was gone as soon as Mike got back to that dear Little Rock and Kavanaugh had been given the story
 Whether Umpire Flynn will ever re- turn and prosecute Finn for forgery Is question. The Little Rock manager Is without doubt liable, according to the at torney of the local ball club He can be sued for damages for putting the New

PETE LISTER SOLD
 TO CLEVELAND CLUB

Grantland Rice thus moralizes in The Tennessean on the sale of Pete Lister;
 Pete Lister. the most esteemed citizen of our baseball community, will wear a Cleveland uniform next season. After thinking the matter over, the Cleveland club decided to pass up Kid Wells and bag Lister instead. The deal has already been closed, and the best first baseman Dixie ever saw will be listed with Larry Lajoie's army next spring when the 1908 roll call is sounded
 The terms are that half the purchase price Is to be paid down and the other half on May 1. In the meantime If Lister doesn't make good by that date he is to revert back to Nashville. But If Pete doesn't make good we miss a tall guess. as no ball player bagged from this league has it on him now. take him how you will.
 Clevelands first intention, as flashed in The Tennessean, was to land Kid Wells. In fact. this deal had been about closed when the owners held another meeting and decided to switch from catcher to a first baseman. There are other clubs out after Wells, but so far no deal has been clamped down.
 As far as we can dope it out, Lister will make Cleveland a high grade man. He has everything in his favor. In the first place. he has just about picked up his stride, and, being young, ambitious and careful of his habits, should have a golden future before him.
 He Is fast on his feet, owns and con- trols wicked batting eye and Is all ways in the thick of the fray. He is equally good with the bludgeon or guarding his territory around first base, and no one has yet seen him overlook a good bet on the field.
 There's nothing dopy about Pete's play, nor anything half-hearted about his efforts. He plays the game. and plays 1t jam up from gong to gong and, like Glen Liebhart, he'll work his blooming noodle off to make good after he lands.
 We greatly fear that Pete will not

HOT GAME IN PROSPECT
Pell City Will Play Alabama City This Afternoon and Tralnloads of Peo- pie Are Coming to Witness
 the Final Contest.

For the past two weeks the rooters over in Alabama City have been converting regularly every afternoon. in an old field near the town, and training their lungs by degrees up to a pitch which they say will win any ball game. Alabama City expects every man to do his duty, and consequently 4 o'clock this afternoon will See nearly every able-bodied man In tho busting little city out at West End park. They believe Manager Pratt's Pell City boys will need the assistance of both the Elyton and Birmingham fire departments shortly after the game starts Enthus- fasm among the supporters of both teams is great
 The Pel City and the Dwight Manufas- turing company team from Alabama City are undlsputedly the best amateur base ball aggregations In Alabama. The state championship is at stake, and it lies at the present between these two teams. The rival teams have experienced but little difficulty in wading through all other amateur teams of the state, but between the two a hard knot has been tied. The game this afternoon unless 1t results n a tie, will cut that kuot and one or the other of the teams must fall Four games have been played between Alabama City and Pell City. two games going to each team, and the one at West End this afternoon Is all-important great battle is expected.
 The Dwight team from Alabama City Is not known in Birmingham as well as the Pell City boys. but they have many packers here. Pell City has for the past four or five years held the honor of the state championship, but has never yet had such fight on hand as the one this year, The great fight the Alabama City team has made has won for it many packers In Birmingham who will turn out to see the game.
 Three members of the Dwight team are Birmingham boys, who stung the ball on the corner lots here until they were too fast for their company, and so stepped into semi professional baseball. These men are popular here and their friends will yell for Dwight.
 On the other hand, there Is probably no amateur team in Alabama more popu- lar here than the Pell City champions of last year. The team has several very fast men, including Mack Weller, who was signed by Manager Vaughan in the north Weller will probably shoot his benders across the plate to the Dwight boys this afternoon. He has many friends here who believe he has the goods.
 The two teams will meet to fight for honor, and it will be death battle. It is certain that a taste of true sport can be had at the West End park this aft ernoon. The game will begin at 4 o'clock.
