ToMLNSoN PRAISED
BRYAN HAS KIND WORDS FOR
 ALABAHEIAN.
The NebFasIEan Says The Bureau of Organization is in Good Hands
 And Iz Doing Good Work.

Chicago. Aug. 24-Mr. Bryans first visit ths morning was to the Bureau of Organization, of which John W. Tomlinson is the head, where he dis cussed the subject of the formation of the clubs. Mir. Bryan is 6 great believer in clubs. Following this vistt the Democratic candidate made the fol- lowing statement:
 There is nothing that increases a mans interest in the party's success more than the work that he himself does. When 6 man joins a club and enrolls himself as worker. his own en- thusiasm is increased. The consious- ness that he is serving the party is in itself a stimulus of greater service. Then, too, the club gives a unity of pur- pose and of action. When they meet together in the club room and exchange views they are not only better inform ed on the questions which are being dis cussed, but they concentrate their ef- forts and work more effectively. While 1t is necessary to give attention to the raising of money for campaign purposes. especially where the money is raised by popular subscription, the col lection of money is but a small part of | the campaign. The most valuable con tribution that Democrat makes to his party Is in the service that he renders by cooperation with other Democrats. The larger the club, the better the im- pression made, the greater amount of work done and more enthusiasm.
 | T am very glad to find that our work
 is so well started and in such good | hands. Mir. Tomlinson's heart is in the l club movement and he Is pursuing
 1t with all his energy"

GREAT FINISH BEING MADE BY
 LOCALS.
since GrensinEer Took Charge the Team Has Won Twenty Games, Lost
 Seven, and Tied One--Feam ia Fighting for the Top.


 It is possible that there has never before been anything in the South to equal the sensational record that Ed Greminger and his Climbers are mak- ing just now. They are unquestton- ably playing the fastest. cleanest ball of any team in the League. The pitch : ing stan is working grandly now and receiving superb support not only in fielding but in hitting and baserun~ ming. The main secret of the phenom- ena1 success fs the team work. There Is not record player in the bunch :. Tn the field they work like some piece of the tIresome individual batting for the sake of individual averages is seen, but the batting and baserunning has but one object in view--that of driving runs over the plate and climbing in the league standing.
 Since Ed Greminger was put in charge of the team on the 27th of July they have played twenty-eight games winning twenty, losing seven and tie- ing one. They have played nineteen games at home, won fourteen, lost foiff and tied one, while on the road they have played nine, won six and lost straights from Little Rock, three out of four from Mobile, three out Of four from Birmingham. one out of three from Nashville, and four out of five from Atlanta.
 On the road they won the only two games played in Atlanta. won one and lost one of the two games played in Birmin gham. lost two of the three games in Nashville, and won the two games played in Memphis so far.

 In these thirty nine innings 9twelNe hits have been made Of the local pitch CTS and eighteen hits by the Climbers. Nearly five hits game by the Climbers and exactly three hits q game for th . teams playing against them. This nothing like a record.
 They have played four more games than Nashville, the team in second place, and are only one game behind them in games won, losing six more played three more games than the Pelicans, the club in first place: won two less than that team and lost five more; they have played an equal num- less and lost two more than the Egyp- ttans. only nine points and one game separating them from the clubjin third place.
 They are only thirty-twes points sbe- hind New Orleans for first place and only thirty points behind the volun- teers for second place, This looks something like that grand finish of 1905, and, with twenty-six more games to pIay--thirteen on the road and thirteen at home-a blind man can see the elegant chance they have of land ine one two, three.
 Incidentally, all Montgomery is baseball wild.

 Something resembling the approach of cyclone was the noise caused py the Alabama bats which preceoed tns run-getting In the fifth. Long liners had been sent to the sentinels in the outfield and some heart-rendtng sim gles and two doubles had dropped up to this juncture, but utter disrekaro tor the method that might have produced a score or bone-headed base running. kept Keibers slate clean.
 The first five visitors slipped onto singles. bunts or doubles, however, m the fatal fifth and before the seanes ended, seven Climbers had faced ket- Der, three of them tallying.

BARoNs WIN THE GAME IN MOBILE.
Listless Contest Was Witnessed By Small Number of spectntors-- Fisher's Hen Uiatinxuish
 Themselves By Errors.


 Mobile. Aug. 24-t Especially I)-Timely hits and costly errors. cost Mobile an- other game today when the Barons drubbed them by score of four to two. Fisher sent KIllian in the box and Ford did the delivery end of the stunt for Birmingham.
 Just an even dozen hits was what the Birmingham outfit managed to get off Killian and these were backed up with five lovely errors on the part of Fish er's men. Watson. the new man at third base made three of them and Massing who was catching made the other two.
 Mobile made her two runs in the third. Fisher got down the base line andswas safe on a missed third strike, Killian forced him at second on an at tempted sacrifice but was himself safe. Thornton, Benson and Daley each fol- lowed with hit and Killian and Thornton came across the plate.
 Birmingham copped out two in the fifth. Three hits a wild throw by Watson and another pebble by that same gentleman was the cause there of.
 In the eighth it took one less hit and one more error to give them the other two. It was listless game and was n00riv Attended

SHIPMENT OF BEER.
Interesting Legal Question is Argued
 in Birmingham.

Birmingham, Aug. 24.--Whether the Interstate Commerce act protects the shipment of liquor Into dry territory to the residence of the consignee or whether protection ends with its ar rival at the station of destination Is the Interesting question argued before Judge Feagin to-day.
 Agreed facts in the case are that nineteen Birmingham men ordened shipments of beer from an agency of a brewing company in Memphis, that bills of lading showed the shipments were via a local transfer company. and that while this company was deliver ing the beer the shipments were seiz- ed and the driver of the wagon ar rested.
 It is also agreed that each of the consignees was acting alone. and that the ship/ rents were in good faith. Each s' has strong legal talent.
