 TAKE THE SERIES
HAVE DEFEATED MOBILE AGGRE- CATION IN TWO OF THREE MATCHES - DECIDED GAMES
 LAST NlGHT-MEEk HIGH GUN.

The Apollo Bowling club had little trouble in defeating Mobile last evening in the third and deciding series.
 In the first game the Birmingham bowl CTS won hands down. and the second game was a one-sided affair. In the third Mobile scored victory by 55 pins.
 There was large Qrowd in the Apollo alleys when the match was in progress, and there was much enthusiasm when the reports from Mobile were received Tom Raub. the local catcher. was official scorer.

Bauer had quite a rough afternoon in which to make his debut. The Barons did not give him the proper support, and the Barons were unable to solve the de- livery of Grant Schopp
 In the presence of an audience of strange faces, Bauer had little encour- agement to remain cool. The fire of the enemy was terrific, and the pitcher was left alone to stand the brunt of the at- tack
 Taking everything into consideration, Bauer did fairly well. and promises to make good.
 ! Catcher Meek stated last night that the youngster had much that is good. He's a clean-cut chap, is able to hit the ball and runs well He has speed and a good curve. He lost control yesterday. but, as stated, had excuse enough to lose everything.

ball player thinks it is decidedly unjust for a fan to roast him from the bleachers.
 Such roasting is too often unjust, for it sometimes happens that a player is loudly criticized when he fails in an effort to do his best.
 In the year in which Birmingham won the pennant Lou Castro came to the Barons' assistance towards the end of the year, and rendered magnificent service. It is probable that he saved the situation, for when he came Bir- mngham had no shortstop, figurative nor literal.
 After the championship season was closed an exhibition game was played at the park.
 In this game Castro made an error probably two errors. The roasting of the fans was strenuous and unmerci full.
 It is not always the case that a player is undeservedly roasted. The failure of an honest effort does not deserve criticism
 But when a man quits and sho the yellow" of his makeup, he should not grumble when the fan expresses his opinion.
 Man is not the only creature who despises a "quitter.'

By losing the game yesterday Moles- worth dropped back to the 300 mark. Since assuming charge of the Barons he has won Il and lost Il games.
 It behooves the stocky manager to win this afternoon. If he wins the week will be concluded with more victories than defeats. If he loses the opposite will hold good
 Castleton will pitch for Atlanta, and Castleton is often good. McNeal will work for Birmingham. If McNeal has practiced fielding bunts and shows inn provement in this department of the game, he might turn the trick. We are not afraid of Atlanta hitting McNeal to any great extent.
 Monday the Barons go to Montgomery. Four games one a postponed affair, will be played in the Capital City.
 Thursday, Friday and Saturday they meet Nashville in Birmingham. Next Saturday, July f. the usual double-head- CT will be played.
 Mccain Robinson was in uniform yes terday. though he still limps. He will be games of the double-header next Satur- day.
 Manager Molesworth wants an infielder and a pitcher or two.
 Delehanty. having expectorated in the "phiz'' of Umpire Brown, should be hus- tied out of the league.
 Bill Smith released Cummings last night to the North Carolina league.
 Little Rock is just above the Barons Nashville is next. Montgomery heads the second division. Memphis is fourth, Mobile third and Atlanta second. The Pelicans remain on top.
 Bauer struck Fox out towards the con- clusion of yesterdays game, though Um- pire o Brien ruled otherwise. Meek threw the ball on the ground
 All of which reminds that Meek was fined 8.

Narrow Escape.

Five or six men working at the bot tom of a shalt of the Old Dominion company had a narrow escape from being crushed into pulp last week on the graveyard shift, when the cage hoisting three cars of ore, gave way when near the top of the shaft, crashed through two bulkeeads and was stopped only by the third bulk head, below the 14th level.
 The shieve wheel gave way under the strain, the sudden shock causing the cable to snap, and the heavy load went down with such force that the safety ratchet at the sides of the compartment was torn out all the way to where the cage was stopped. causing damage that will require two weeks work in the repairing Five or six men are at work at the bottom of the shaft, which is being sunk to the l6th level. They were about l6O feet below the bulkhead that stopped the cage after its plunge of about 1900 feet, and but for 1 the third bulkhead wichs;anding the shock, would have been smashed into | jelly .GlObe Belt

Work On The Horse Shoe.

Within the last six months the Horse Shoe has grown into the liveli- ct camp in our immediate locality. c jnsidering the irregular surface of the neSa, the road is remarkably good; every loose stone has been care fully raked to one side. Seventeen brand new tents give the camp the d 1pearance of miniature gold field; the adobes of bachelors and men with families are arranged on oppo- site sides of a wash. A substantial house, designated for Superintend- ent Young and his family is about completed.
 There are, at present, about thirty five men on the pay roll. Three shifts carry the work on continually.
 The shaft has reached the 6S0-foot line. The formation is soft and it is being sunk at the rate of about five feet day. A drift will be started in the near future. Another boiler has recently been placed. The indi- cations are that more active work on the San Jose also, will soon begin.- Stafford Journal.

A Printers Sanitarium.

The International Typographical union, which maintains a home for sick and aged printers in Colorado, is going to establish a tuberculosis sani- tarium for its members in Arizona to be known as the 'tent city" The last meeting of the International at Boston adopted the following resolution:
 RESOLVED, that within six months from the adoption of this amend ment, sum not to exceed Sl0,000 be expended for the establishment of a tent sanitarium at some point in Arizona or adjacent territory of similar altitude and climatic condi- tions. Not more than 5000 of this amount should be used in the con struction of plain, but substantial and commodious headquarters build ing. What remains should be more than ample for equipment. Tents or portable houses should then be sup piled as required for the accommo- dation of members admitted" .-

Strike Not Portable in Warren District.

For several days there have been rumors flying around Douglas to the effect that the local union of the Western Federation of Miners were getting ready to call another strike. These rumors have created some un- easiness among the men employed in Bisbee and also among the business men of that city and of Douglas.
 The International-Ame sought for informa ton in BIsbee concerning the reported promise of strike with the result that it can say that if there is any danger of such trouble it is sufficiently under cover as not to be visible A gentleman who came down from Bisbee stated while there had been some rumors the people of Bisbee were not expecting any labor trouble in the Warren district for the reason that there was no occasion for any.
 It has now been nearly two years since the local union of the Western Federation of Miners was formed in Bisbee. In the spring of 1907 strike was called which resulted in great many men losing their employment and being compelled to seek employ ment elsewhere at d great sacrifice to themselves, as we'll as to the great disturbance of industrial and business conditions both in Bisbee and Doug las. After the companies had secured men for the mines from other sec tions the union called the strike off. After this action many of the union men returned to the district and se- cured work, as the policy at Bisbee has always been to maintain the open shop and treat union men and non union men alike. This had always been the case previous to the strike of 1907.-American.

4 New Style of Postage Stamps.

The postmaster has received word that the bureau of engraving and printing has completed designs sug- gested by Postmaster General Meyer for a new issue of the United States postage stamps of the following de- nominations: One, two, three, four, five. six, eight, ten, fifteen and fifty cents and a dollar. The tw0-dollar and five-dollar denominations now in use will not be reprinted.
 It will be some weeks before all u e denomination will be put on the mar ket. However, the two-cent stamp will be distributed first, ,and it was ex- pected that shipments to postmasters would begin in November.
 The new issue has been designed with the object of obtaining the greatest simplicity commensurate with artistic results. The profile has been taken in each instance instead of full view, giving bas-relief ef- feet. All the stamps are of similar design, containing a head in an eclipse, the ouly decoration being laurel leaves on either side of the eclipse.
 The lettering is in straight lines, at the top being "U. s. Postage" and at the bottom the words 1.-Two cents.'i The one-cent stamp contains the head of Franklin while all others will bear that of Washington, taken from busts by Houlon. Thus one of the most notable differences in the new issues will be the minimum of letter, ing. The colors are the reds anC blues of the early stamps.
