Storm in Three Counties.

Little Rock, Aug. 14.-One of the worst windstorms of recent years swept through White, Jack. son and POinSett counties Mon day afternoon, according to be lated reports received from that section yesterday. Houses were blown down, trees were uprooted and telephone and telegraph through all that section paralyzed. Nocasualities have been report. ed, but horses and cattle were killed in falling buildings. A high wind, accompanied by a severe electric storm, and followed by a torrential storm. prevailed over an area several miles in width, and extending through three counties, working havoc in towns and in the fields. The damage to the corn crop will be very heavy.
 Buildings were demolished at Auvergne, Jackson county, a church and a railroad station be- ing among the structuresS de. stroyed.
 Damage in the Beebe vicinity was chiefly confined to crops,I al though telegraph wires and poles were destroyed by trees falling across the wires.
 At Oliphant the damage to crops was considerable, and F telephone poles were snapped off.
 Trees blown across railroad tracks east and north of Little Rock made much caution neces- sary in the operation of trains.

Crackers and BabblerS' Fierce Contest. SUGGS AND CASTLET0N
 BATTLE FOR SUPREMACY Every Player Fought Like a Demon
 to Win. Several Times During The Game Players Reached Third Base But Could Never Cross
 Home Plate.

Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 11-(Special)-It was drawn battle this afternoon in every sense of the expression, score 0 to 0. Neither the Babblers nor the Crackers deserved to win for neither had 1t the wee bit of shade over the other at any time during the grueling fight.
 Darkness stopped the game at the conclusion of the ninth. Roy Castle- ton and George Suggs split honors just as the teams did, save in one feature and that was the hits, the one more than the Memphii got from the southpaw. Both 2 had the same number of strike outs and while Suggs issued brace of passes to the Cracker slabman's one, he deliberately walked Sid Smith at time when 8 hit would have meant one run or possibly two. Both crawled out of about the same number of holes and there you are, draw in every particular.
 Round after round fitted by with neither bunch counting. In the very first chapter. the enemy had a man on the way and that was great busi- ness in battle like that of today. With one gone, Sid Smith misplayed. managed to meander first as far as second. That was all. Eeighbors fouled out on James Fox, who made q nifty stab at the ball after a hard run anu S6TtcE out NlCh "dD tlO first of eight to do the same thing. Atlanta's half in, it was three up and as many gone, but again in the second did the enemy get a start. Castleton stopped them. However, before any havoc was wrought. It was one out when James slapped a single to center like his manager in the first round. he swiped first and there remained while Richards famed and Hurlburt skied to Bill Dyer.
 These were mere incidents when ar rayed alongside of the nerve racking third round. when SuEgs got as far as third with only one gone and the Babb- lers failed to score. That was the real hot scare of the afternoon. George broke off a single to short and Bills did the sacrifice, then Babb shot a sim gle to center and George was at the last corner. The suspense was awful and the vast congregation that had been whooping things up all along was as still as grave yard at midnight, the proverbiaf mouse and any old thing that has ''the quiet" to 1t. With bat ed breath they watched Neighbors foul out to first. That made it lot easier Then Nick Carter proved to be Casey Babblers. the mighty Nick famed the and sat down while a shout broke forth that was startling because of the intense quiet that had prevailed during the round.
 While the Memphii were doing all these things, Atlanta was not having any kind of a look in. In the second

Winters fourth when he singled to right with one gone and reached third before the Inning was over. He went there when Paskert poked one to suggs who shied the ball to center field in an endeavor to get Winters at second. Paskert was on second and Winters on third. The bugs were pulling like demons; the great hitter, VI was s at the bat. But Babb held a consultation with Suggs that resulted in four wide one served Sid. who could not have reached any dle. That was the deliberate walk and 1t made good. With the bases crowded to the exploding point, Jim a line drive to Richards. the Crackers ing.
 Then Roy struck his gait. It was one. two. three. in the fourth and fifth. Carter's walk in the sixth made 1t one more. but Nick was cut off first be- fore Carey had a chance to hit. It was three in the seventh and three in the eighth. But in the final round, Babb got started with a clean single to tleton and Babb narrowly escaped be- ing doubled at first Carter flew out to left and Carey hit to short. Babb was forced at second. Paskert got on in the sixth by getting hit by pitched ball. and the seventh came near to proving lucky for Atlanta. Fox beat out bunt with one gone and a passed ball showed him to second Jordan famed. but Dyer singled to short. Babh took a chance at the punch and did the iuggle, this causing Jim to start for home, with the result that he mixed up in a chase and was snuffed at third
 And Pfenninger was surrounded by q swarm of Crackers when he gave vent to the decision. He gat shove or two. and after while the game was resumed. -
 Castleton singled in the eighth with one out. but Suggs stuck to his great form and the hits were not forthcom- ing. They simply court not solve the Memphiap. and he was best when the punches were needed most.
 ,Paskert began the ninth by beating out a poke to second. This caused some strenuous kicking on the part or the Memphii, but he was extinguished by being caught off first by Suggs ana the other two went out. Then the un- pire called the game on account o1 darkness, and the important series o1 the season drifted into history.

DECISION TO STAND
KAvANAUGH WILL STICK TO HIS
 RULING.
Pirates WiH Get Disputed Game With Memphis Unless Directors of the League Set It
 Aside.

Little Rock, Ark, Sept. 11.-(Spe- cial)-No matter how the Southern League race may end, 1t may be set down as an assumed fact that so far as President Kavanaugh Is concerned, the contest of the game that Memphis won from Shreveport on August and which the League executive forfeited to the Pirates because Memphis had fif- teen men under contract, is at an end.
 The Memphis club has the right of appeal to the League directors, of course" said President Kavanaugh, "al- though they have filed no notice of any such appeal so far. As far as am concerned 1t makes no difference to me what the directors do. My only object in declaring the game forfeited was to compel the Memphis club to obey the league rules, and this has been accomplished. Memphis as well as all the other clubs, has been ex- tremely careful not to get over the limit, even for & single day, ever since" "
 While President Kavanaugh refused to discuss the probable action Of the trustees should the forfeited game Ge- eide the, championship, and an appeal be taken by Memphis it is difficult to see how the directors could rescind the presidents decision. The league constitution gives the president al most unlimited power to enforce the league laws, and It IS hard to see upon what grounds the Memphis club bases It's contention that the president eX- ceeded his authority in forfeiting the game to Shreveport, especially since Manager Babb has admitted that he was over the limit, having htteen men under contract that day.
 President Kavanaugh has been un- reIenting in his demand that the num- Der limit must be enforced. Memphis recently tried to evade it by suspend ing Pitcher Cristall for gambling and Catcher owen for not being in physical condition. President Kavanaugh re- fused to allow either of these suspen- sions. with the result that Owen was released outright and Memphis dropped Catcher Law, who had been signed but was never played.

 Saturday night the Atlanta team had a good nights rest with the same all day Sunday and Sunday night. while and travelled all night that night. Mon day the loss of rest told on them. and Atlanta won.
 After a single nights rest Monday night. the Memphit went after Castle ton strong Tuesday. and the indications were that the New York southpaw would have been handed something fierce, the rain saving him.
