RE VIE W OF THE SEASON
BY HUGH w. ROBERTS.

begun, and Birmingham is as strong as
any other aggregation.
Atlanta's slump was the surprise of
the season. After winning the pennant
of 1907 the Crackers opened strong. How
ever, misfortune, In various guises, pur-
sued the aggregation of Billy Smith, and
until the final Atlanta-Litt1e Rock series,
every game of which the former won, the
Crackers occupied the position just above
the BarOns
In the beginning of the year there was
one drastic change, Shreveport surrender
ing its franchise to Mobile. While Shreve-
port always lost money, Mobile cleared
profit of about $1,000, and the Sea Gulls,
in addition, remained upward in the race
for the greater part of the season.
During the year there were two man
agerial changes.
Harry Vaughn Of Birmingham was sup
planted by Carlton. Wordsworth who has
been In the local ohtfield for three years.
James Ryan of Montgomery was sup
planted by Ed Greminger, first baseman,
who performed SO creditably as leader
of men that he will, in all probability,
pilot the Sleepers another season.
The indications are that there will be
no changes next season, either as affects
cities or managers. 1t has been reported
that Little Rock would surrender it's fran
chise to Chattanooga but inasmuch as
Chattanooga has purchased franchise
in the South Atlantic It is probable that
Little Rock will continue to hold member
ship in the Southern league. Robert J..
Chambers of Montgomery, whose agents
have consistently doomed him for pres
ident of the league. is destined to a great
disappointment, for when another year
rolls around William M. Kavanaugh win
still be the head and shoulders of Dixie s
major.
1t Is reported that Bill Bernhard, the
Cleveland pitcher who manager Nashville
this season, will not be in the Southern
league next year. But this report is
doubted, 1t Is also said that Captain
Crawford president of the Shreveport club
of the Texas league, will induce Thomas
Fisher, manager of the Mobile club Of
the Southern, to take the management
of the Pirates next season. This report
too, is doubted. and when another April
rolls around 1t is very probable that the
leaders of today will be the leaders of
that time, too.

Beauty and
Bad Breath
Cannot Go Together No Matter How a
Woman May Try to Make Them.

1t does not matter how beautiful a
woman may be, If she is afflicted with
bad breath she will be Stunned and
pitied by men and even women will
studiously avoid her.
If any woman doubts this statement
let her make point of asking friend
in whom she may confide, man friend
or relative. If he be honest he will tell
her that foul breath from the mouth of
woman will drive men from her more
rapidly than any other personal af-
Fiction.
Foul breath arouses in man disgust
and where this quality is brought into
play no amount of self -denial or rea-
soning can overcome the natural repug-
nance which comes to man when he is
in company with such a woman.
What Is true of bad breath in woman
is not true in so great degree in men.
Women are looked upon as the incar-
nation of sweetness, breeding, virtue
and refinement. Foul breath will sick
en- man so that he cannot feel for
such woman companionship neces-
sary to make him desire to be in her
company.
There is absolutely no occasion for
bad breath in either men or women.
Charcoal, the strongest absorbent
known, when taken into the stomach
will prevent this repugnant tendency
or affiiction.
Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges are sold
in tremendous quantities all over Amer
lea and Canada They cure and have
cured all forms of bad breath. A single
box will convince you of this fact. One
should eat some of these lozenges after
each meal and upon retiring. You
might eat fifty of them without harm.
They are not medicine, but pure will
low charcoal mixed with sweet honey
to make them palatable and compressed
into a lozenge to preserve their pecu-
liar and lasting strength.
The next time you wish to go into
company and don't want your foul
breath to humiliate you, eat several of
Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges and your
breath will be pure and sweet.
Every druggist carries them, price 20
cents, or send us your name and adj
dress and we will send you a trial
package by mail free. Address F. A.

enstein. This grand old man of the
league pitched remarkable ball He had
all of his cunning, used a very decep-
tive curve ball and against any other
club save Nashville would have won.
Brilliant Support Accorded.
The support accorded the pitchers was
by far the best ever seen here. There
was but one error, by Dexter, in fumb-
ling Buffers grounder, and even this
one did not prove costly. On the part
of each side splendid generalship was
exhibited. There was no nervousness.
Defensively speaking, the clubs were
unusually strong. To get the ball be-
yond the infielders was a bigger task
than one might imagine 1t was almost
impossible to do so. Captain McElveen
at third, by his grand Judgment, prob
ably saved the day for the Volunteers
in the second inning. Tarleton was on
second base with one out when rRiclert
hit a grounder to third. McElveen fielded
the ball quickly and made a stall as
If to throw to first. He had no chance
to out Rickert but Tarleton thought
that Captain Mac was going to try it
and turned on his way to the plate. Nc
Elveen quickly turned, after making the
bluff, and tagged Tarleton. McElveen
used his brain in this play, otherwise
Tarleton might have scored. Butler, at
snort, and East at second, were very
much in the affair, also; each accepting
everything that journeyed into their To-
cality.
The Run Getter.
There was another man on the team,
too, that fought fine battle. This was
Ed Hurlburt, the man who scored the
only run. His receiving was without
flaw and he proved Of great assistance
to Sitton He was at all times signaling
for certain balls that he knew would
not be relished by the opposing batters.
Hurlburt was of great value to his
pitcher.
Riot played the star game for the
Pelicans, all of whom put up a winning
article.
Robe played the star game for the
game, well played with every man put

The season of 1908 has gone into history.
In the Southern league there occurred
most sensational race. Nashville win
ming the pennant yesterday afternoon by
two percentage points.
In connection with Nashvilles success
there are three interesting incidents.
Hurlburt, who filled in behind the bat
for three clubs during the season, and
who, after the moment of emergency, was
released, made the hit that developed the
run that won the pennant.
Sitton, who pitched the game for NASH
vile yesterday afternoon, was the lead
ing twirler of the Jacksonville, Fla,
team, which landed the pennant of the
South Atlantic by big margin.
The deciding game went to Nashville
when Gus Dundon, Pelican second base
man, rated as one of the safest fielders
in the league, fumbled Wisemans infleld
hit when the bases were full.
One month ago it required no wise man
to know that the pennant would be won
phis.
One week ago the race narrowed down
to New Orleans and Nashville.
Three days ago it became known that
the pennant would fly over that camp
which won the final series of the season.
Yesterday the race was narrowed down
to one game, and it was known by every
battle would also cop the bunting.
Nashville won that game when with the
bases full in the seventh inning Dundon
fumbled Wisemans infield bounder, al
lowing Hurlburt to score from third.
1t has been a great race. For the
league, as a whole, considering the panic,
the season has been most prosperous
one every club in the league, with the
exception of birmingham, making money.
Birmingham, although it will be a sur
prise, broke even for the five months. and
in a financial way is right at that spot
which it occupied when the race was
begun.
Locally it has been a miserable season.
The Barons, opening in Montgomery, lost
the first three games, and thereafter was
off the bottom but once. The Barons.
soon regaining the cellar, remained there
until yesterday afternoon. Then the slate
was wiped off, and no special place is as
signed to any special team.

 One of the most important improve ments, secured by Division Superin- tendent Platt, is the establishment of refrigerator car servIce on the valley branch. This will make it possible to ship eggs, butter, poultry, vege- tables and fruit to Los Angeles at all times, and as the shipments increase the service will be extended to stimu- late business and meet the require ments of producers.
